The ultimate evil and the biggest threat in the entire series. He's the ruler of the Dotsuku Zone and owns its Power of Darkness. Ironically, it destroys himself, too, which is why he wants the Power of Creation to survive. He and his minions invade the Garden of
* TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: The chains binding him to the Dotsuku Zone, as well as his shadowy body, are animated in CGI [[spoiler:except for a brief shot in episode 26 of the chains breaking upon his defeat]].
* {{Angrish}}: As the series goes on, he begins to punctuate his dialogue with angry growls and roars. [[spoiler:Considering that [[PowerIncontinence he's slowly dying from his own powers]], those are probably cries of pain as well as anger.]]
* ArchEnemy: Chiefly towards the Queen of Light since he serves as her EvilCounterpart; and the Cures who see them as a threat to his goal.
* AsYouKnow: He ''loves'' to remind his minions that the Prism Stones will make him immortal every time he appears, roughly OncePerEpisode.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: He's a towering, hulking brute who is easily the size of a building.
* BackFromTheDead: Twice. First when revived by the Seeds of Destruction, and second when Baldez turned into a new Dark King.
* BadBoss: Jaaku King has little patience for his subordinates' failures, notably threatening to ''[[YouHaveFailedMe kill]]'' Pisard after one too many slip-ups. If you work under him, don't even ''think'' about [[ResignationsNotAccepted leaving your post]], [[spoiler:as [[DarkIsNotEvil Kiriya]] does]]. You'll be [[OrderedToDie ordered to return to the darkness]] as punishment. [[spoiler:He later strikes Illkubo, who was [[UndyingLoyalty nothing but loyal]] to him, with a BoltOfDivineRetribution purely because he was about to kill the Cures with an attack that could damage the Prism Stones]].
* BeastOfTheApocalypse: His mere existence releases the Power of Darkness, which will swallow everything around him [[spoiler:and, eventually, ''even him'']] unless he takes the power of creation.
* BigBad: He's the being who opposes the Pretty Cure's efforts to save the world, wanting to obtain the power of creation to ensure immortality for himself and the rest of the Dotsuku Zone and plunge every world into darkness.
* BlessedWithSuck: Jaaku King commands the Power of Darkness, a force with the potential to consume everything. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for him, he's not immune to its effects, so the Power of Darkness is slowly and painfully ''[[BodyHorror eating away at his body]]''.]]
* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:{{Implied|Trope}}. According to him and [[TheDragon Illkubo]], when he says the Power of Darkness will consume everything, he means it literally -- the word ''mushibamu'' (literally "to be eaten through by bugs", but more figuratively "to eat away at", "to corrode", or "to cripple") is used to describe this process. And since [[PowerIncontinence he's not immune to his powers]], that means Jaaku King is being slowly and painfully ravaged by his own darkness.]]
* BoltOfDivineRetribution: That DramaticThunder of his isn't just for show. He's more than capable of using it, [[spoiler:which Illkubo finds out [[HighVoltageDeath the hard way]]]].
* BreakThemByTalking: Gives the Cures the following existentially horrifying speech in episode 26 to [[HopeCrusher break their spirits]]. Predictably, it doesn't work.
-->'''Jaaku King:''' PRETTY CURE... WHAT IS "DARKNESS"? WHAT, ''EXACTLY'', IS "DARKNESS"? ABSOLUTE STILLNESS. ABSOLUTE NOTHINGNESS. ABSOLUTE DARKNESS. "DARKNESS" IS EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD. ONE DAY, THE GARDEN OF LIGHT, AND THE GARDEN OF RAINBOWS, MUST BOTH PERISH. AND IN THE END, WHAT REMAINS... IS DARKNESS. DARKNESS WILL RETURN EVERYTHING TO NOTHING. NO MATTER HOW YOU FIGHT, IT IS POINTLESS. EVERYTHING SHALL PERISH. FOR IT IS THEIR DESTINY TO BECOME DARKNESS. FALL INTO ETERNAL SLUMBER IN THE DARKNESS.
* BrokenRecord: If Jaaku King is on screen, chances are he's [[AsYouKnow reminding the Dark Five]] that with the power of the Prism Stones, he and the Dotsuku Zone will reign eternal.
* BulletCatch: {{Exaggerated|Trope}}. Just like Pisard and Illkubo before him, Jaaku King tries to block the Marble Screw with his hand. Since he's the BigBad, it works.
* CantLiveWithoutYou: [[spoiler:He claims that if he is ever killed, then the Queen will die with him.]]
* DarkIsEvil: He's the EldritchAbomination who rules over the Dotsuku Zone and commands the Power of Darkness, which he wants to use to blanket all of existence in darkness.
* DarkLordOnLifeSupport: [[spoiler:Jaaku King presents a [[TheDreaded very threatening]] image, but he's slowly dying due to an [[PowerIncontinence inability to control]] his own powers over darkness. He's briefly seen at the end of episode 19, but he says nothing beyond a [[VaderBreath pained rasp]], showing that he's affected even though he presents a strong facade.]]
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: [[spoiler:When he's defeated as the DiscOneFinalBoss of the first season, Jaaku King is blown away in an enormous explosion that banishes all the storm clouds away from the Dotsuku Zone, leaving only an otherworldly, blue-black gradient.]]
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Yes, they did, albeit with a few finishers powered up by the Queen of Light, or her life in the third showdown. Jaaku King, with three consecutive defeats, you've reached a new low for an EldritchAbomination...]]
* DisappointedByTheMotive: {{Inverted|Trope}}. He scoffs at Pretty Cure saying Mepple and Mipple would be sad if he destroyed the Garden of Light.
-->'''Jaaku King:''' HOW FOOLISH. ARE YOU SAYING YOU FIGHT FOR A REASON LIKE THAT...?
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He's defeated and seemingly destroyed a little over halfway through the first season, but there are still more threats to come after he's taken down.
* DramaticThunder: When he's especially angry at a minion, or when he wants to emphasize a particular point, lightning flashes. It's not just for theatrics -- he can [[BoltOfDivineRetribution strike his enemies down]] with the bolts.
* DubNameChange: In the English dub, he's known as the "Dark King", as the Dotsuku Zone has been renamed the "Dark Zone".
* TheDreaded: Everyone in the Garden of Light fears him for being a literal entity of destruction, if laying waste to the Garden of Light isn't enough evidence. Even his minions fear him for his BadBoss tendencies and ultimatums -- [[DirtyCoward Pisard]] in particular visibly breaks into a cold sweat when Jaaku King is angry with him.
* EldritchAbomination: He's an unfathomably powerful being who commands the Power of Darkness, a force that [[WalkingWasteland consumes everything]], [[spoiler:including [[PowerIncontinence Jaaku King himself]]]]. The Dark Five all seem to house tiny parts of him inside them, as when they die, a blob of darkness floats back to the Dotsuku Zone and becomes a part of his body -- making the phrase "[[NeverSayDie return to the darkness]]" horrifyingly literal.
* EvilCounterpart: To the Queen of the Garden of Light. Both are the [[LargeAndInCharge absolutely enormous]] and [[TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects CGI-animated]] rulers of their respective domains, on opposite sides of a feud over the Prism Stones, and send loyal warriors to fight in their place. [[spoiler:In the first season's SeriesFauxnale, the Queen outright calls them "two sides of the same coin".]]
* EvilIsBigger: Jaaku King is a colossal figure who utterly dwarfs all of the mostly human-sized Dark Five under him. He's the BigBad for good reason.
* EvilSoundsDeep: As befits the enormous BigBad, Jaaku King has a deep, booming voice courtesy of Creator/KenichiOno.
* TheFaceless: [[spoiler:Until Baldez "evolves" into Jaaku King.]]
* GodOfDarkness: As the supreme ruler of the Dotsuku Zone, a realm born from the Power of Darkness he commands, Jaaku King is essentially this.
* GodOfEvil: [[DarkIsEvil Darkness is synonymous with the villains]] in this series purely because of Jaaku King's control over the Power of Darkness, making him this by default.
* HandBlast: He's able to NoSell the Cures' Marble Screw simply by [[BulletCatch blocking the attack]] and shooting a burst of shadowy energy from his palm.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Debatable; what's accepted among the fan community is that his ''life'' makes the turn when he splits from him in the final episode of ''Max Heart'', becoming Hikaru Kujo.]]
* HijackedByGanon: Twice. [[spoiler:First, he absorbs the fused Seeds of Darkness who each are intending to betray him. Then, Baldez turns into the new Jaaku King.]]
* HopeCrusher: Vows that he will "crush [the Queen's] hope" in his BeamOWar with Pretty Cure, and even beforehand, he tries to break the Cures' will to fight with a speech about the futility of their actions in the face of absolute darkness.
* ImmortalitySeeker: Jaaku King wants his hands on the Prism Stones so he can achieve immortality, allowing him to shroud the entire universe in the Dotsuku Zone's darkness. [[spoiler:It's also because without them, [[PowerIncontinence his own Power of Darkness]] will eventually kill him.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: He doesn't understand how much the universe will suffer under the effects of the Power of Darkness, and seeks to blot out all light and control everything out of a hunger for power. [[spoiler:TheReveal that [[PowerIncontinence he's slowly dying from those same powers]] makes it clear he knows full well what he's doing, he just doesn't care.]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:Offs his [[UndyingLoyalty fanatically loyal]] right-hand Illkubo without a second thought just because he could have risked the Prism Stones with one of his attacks. He later absorbs the Giant who is already suffering from the great Power of Creation.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Any of the Dotsuku Zone's generals are this by necessity, but Jaaku King's larger-than-life presence and the menacing ambiance of the Dotsuku Zone will suck out any and all joy in the scenes where he appears.
* LargeAndInCharge: Most of his minions are human-sized. He's the size of a building.
* MindOverMatter: He can compel objects to him with telekinesis.
* MonsterLord: Looks like an absolutely enormous, more human-like version of a Zakenna, only with [[RedEyesTakeWarning glaring red eyes]] instead of yellow ones. Fittingly, he rules the Dotsuku Zone, who commands the Zakenna.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "Jaaku King" is the Japanese word for "wicked" or "evil", ''jaaku'', and "king", rendered in katakana as one name.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Killing [[spoiler:Illkubo]] is the most foolish idea he has got. If that has never happened, the Pretty Cures would be dead and he would gain the Power of Creation. It ultimately made no difference since they could only beat him with the Queen's help in that battle.
* TheNightThatNeverEnds: His ultimate goal is to blanket all of existence in darkness, bring it under the Dotsuku Zone's thrall. This would, of course, mean [[OmnicidalManiac everything returns to nothingness]].
* NotSoDifferentRemark: [[spoiler:The Queen said that they have only one difference, to believe in the future or to control the future.]]
* OmnicidalManiac: His only concern is [[spoiler:making sure the Power of Darkness doesn't kill him]]. He's perfectly happy with letting it swallow everything else.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: He can't move his location in the Dotsuku Zone without the Power of Creation, [[spoiler:though as the Seeds of Destruction found out, he call pull other things into the Dotsuku Zone.]]
* OrderedToDie: The punishment for betraying Jaaku King is an order to return to the darkness, [[spoiler:a fate Kiriya knows full well is coming and [[FaceDeathWithDignity accepts anyway]].]]
* PowerIncontinence: [[spoiler:Jaaku King's almighty Power of Darkness will eventually consume ''him'', too, which he has no control over. This is part of the reason why he wants the Prism Stones, as he could very well die without them.]]
* PurpleIsPowerful: He resembles a giant with dark purple skin, and is the ultimate BigBad of the anime.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: His red eyes are another sign of his vileness.
* ShootTheDangerousMinion: He kills [[spoiler:Illkubo]] when it becomes clear that [[spoiler:his [[HavingABlast dark explosion attack]] would blow up the Prism Stones along with Pretty Cure, which would have foiled Jaaku King's whole plan]].
* TakingYouWithMe: After his second defeat from the Pretty Cures, he makes sure that the Queen dies with him.
* TooDumbToLive: See NiceJobFixingItVillain. It eventually kills him for the first time.
* VaderBreath: His voice gets [[VocalEvolution increasingly wheezy and raspy]] as the series goes on [[spoiler:because his PowerIncontinence is slowly killing him]].
* VocalEvolution: As the series goes on, Jaaku King's voice gradually goes from [[EvilSoundsDeep loud and booming]] to raspier and more prone to incoherent growls [[spoiler:as a result of [[PowerIncontinence succumbing to his own powers]], which gradually eat away at his body]].
* WeHaveReserves: Doesn't hesitate to remind Pisard that he has countless generals who can replace him if he can't handle the task of collecting the Prism Stones.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Threatens to kill Pisard for his repeated failures, although [[SubvertedTrope he doesn't get the chance]] because the Cures do it for him.

The ultimate evil and the biggest threat in the entire series. He's the ruler of the Dotsuku Zone and owns its Power of Darkness. Ironically, it destroys himself, too, which is why he wants the Power of Creation to survive. He and his minions invade the Garden of Light and steal five of the seven Prism Stones that contain the Power of Creation.

Even his minions fear him for his BadBoss tendencies and ultimatums -- [[DirtyCoward Pisard]] in particular visibly breaks into a cold sweat when Jaaku King is angry with him.
* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler:He's an unfathomably powerful being who commands the Power of Darkness, a force that [[WalkingWasteland consumes everything]], including [[PowerIncontinence Jaaku King himself]]. The Dark Five all seem to house tiny parts of him inside them, as when they die, a blob of darkness floats back to the Dotsuku Zone and becomes a part of his body -- making the phrase "[[NeverSayDie return to the darkness]]" horrifyingly literal.]]
* EvilIsBigger: Jaaku King is a colossal figure who utterly dwarfs all of the mostly human-sized Dark Five under him. He's the BigBad for good reason.
* EvilSoundsDeep: As befits the enormous BigBad, Jaaku King has a deep, booming voice courtesy of Creator/KenichiOno.
* TheFaceless: [[spoiler:Until Baldez "evolves" into Jaaku King.]]
* GodOfDarkness: As the supreme ruler of the Dotsuku Zone, a realm born from the Power of Darkness he commands, Jaaku King is essentially this.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Debatable; what's accepted among the fan community is that his ''life'' makes the turn when he splits from him in the final episode of ''Max Heart'', becoming Hikaru Kujo.]]
* HijackedByGanon: Twice. [[spoiler:First, he absorbs the fused Seeds of Darkness who each are intending to betray him. Then, Baldez turns into the new Jaaku King.]]
* ImmortalitySeeker: Jaaku King wants his hands on the Prism Stones so he can achieve immortality, allowing him to shroud the entire universe in the Dotsuku Zone's darkness. [[spoiler:It's also because without them, [[PowerIncontinence his own Power of Darkness]] will eventually kill him.]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:He absorbs the Giant who is already suffering from the great Power of Creation.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Any of the Dotsuku Zone's generals are this by necessity, but Jaaku King's larger-than-life presence and the menacing ambiance of the Dotsuku Zone will suck out any and all joy in the scenes where he appears.
* LargeAndInCharge: Most of his minions are human-sized. He's the size of a building.
* MonsterLord: Looks like an absolutely enormous, more human-like version of a Zakenna, only with [[RedEyesTakeWarning glaring red eyes]] instead of yellow ones. Fittingly, he rules the Dotsuku Zone, who commands the Zakenna.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "Jaaku King" is the Japanese word for "wicked" or "evil", ''jaaku'', and "king", rendered in katakana as one name.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Killing [[spoiler:Illkubo]] is the most foolish idea he has got. If that has never happened, the Pretty Cures would be dead and he would gain the Power of Creation. It ultimately made no difference since they could only beat him with the Queen's help in that battle.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: [[spoiler:The Queen said that they have only one difference, to believe in the future or to control the future.]]
* OmnicidalManiac: His only concern is [[spoiler:making sure the Power of Darkness doesn't kill him]]. He's perfectly happy with letting it swallow everything else.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: He can't move his location in the Dotsuku Zone without the Power of Creation, [[spoiler:though as the Seeds of Destruction found out, he call pull other things into the Dotsuku Zone.]]
* OrderedToDie: The punishment for betraying Jaaku King is an order to return to the darkness, [[spoiler:a fate Kiriya knows full well is coming and [[FaceDeathWithDignity accepts anyway]].]]
* PowerIncontinence: [[spoiler:Jaaku King's almighty Power of Darkness will eventually consume ''him'', too, which he has no control over. This is part of the reason why he wants the Prism Stones, as he could very well die without them.]]
* PurpleIsPowerful: He resembles a giant with dark purple skin, and is the ultimate BigBad of the anime.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: His red eyes are another sign of his vileness.
* TakingYouWithMe: After his second defeat from the Pretty Cures, he makes sure that the Queen dies with him.
* TooDumbToLive: See NiceJobFixingItVillain. It eventually kills him for the first time.
* VaderBreath: His voice gets [[VocalEvolution increasingly wheezy and raspy]] as the series goes on [[spoiler:because his PowerIncontinence is slowly killing him]].
* VocalEvolution: As the series goes on, Jaaku King's voice gradually goes from [[EvilSoundsDeep loud and booming]] to raspier and more prone to incoherent growls [[spoiler:as a result of [[PowerIncontinence succumbing to his own powers]], which gradually eat away at his body]].
* WeHaveReserves: Doesn't hesitate to remind Pisard that he has countless generals who can replace him if he can't handle the task of collecting the Prism Stones.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Threatens to kill Pisard for his repeated failures, although [[SubvertedTrope he doesn't get the chance]] because the Cures do it for him.
