** [[TheDreaded Northa]] is Moebius's cruelest minion. First introduced summoning one of Labyrinth's EliteMooks to fuse with a Nakewameke and fight the Cures, Northa eventually traps an innocent woman, the mother of Cure Love, in a mirror, before replacing her with a double loyal to Labyrinth which is eventually found out. Northa then captures Setsuna, gives a [[BreakingSpeech soul-crushing speech]], and almost brainwashes her back into Eas. Northa then {{Mind Rape}}s the Cures with illusions of their greatest fears regarding the people around them. When they break free, Northa uses a combination of Mind Rape and Hallucination Mist to make them try and kill each other. When this is thwarted, Northa tries to trap them in Labyrinth. Eventually, Northa successfully captures Infinity, bringing Moebius to a NearVillainVictory, before fusing with Klein to fight the Cures.

** The scene in episode 40 where Love's mom is replaced by a clone from Labyrinth is right out of a horror movie. The lights go out and Northa appears in the mirror behind Ayumi, before Ayumi's reflection gains an inhumanly wide [[SlasherSmile Slasher Smile]], jumps out of the mirror, and cut to the next scene.

* VindicatedByHistory: While overall ''Fresh'' has always been a popular and well-received series, in the English Precure fanbase ''Fresh'' had the unluckiness of getting stuck in the middle of the then-OldGuardVersusNewBlood divide. For the old guards, they initially dismissed ''Fresh'' since it had discarded most of the old series' traditions, and ''Fresh'' just so happens to be the season right ''before'' ''[[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure Heartcatch]]'', the series where most of the new blood fans of the franchise came. Over time, both groups decides to go back to give ''Fresh'' another chance, as its changes had also been embraced by later series, so the older fans had gotten used to them and the new fans could easily adjust to this season. It also helped that word came out that, on the Japanese side of things, the changes in ''Fresh'' were an AuthorsSavingThrow after [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 5GoGo]]'s heavy use of {{filler}} and focus on the fairies over the humans had tanked its ratings; in other words, ''Fresh'' had saved Precure as a whole, and the fanbase owed it that.
