| 14 | -->''[[TransformationNameAnnouncement "Endlessly Spreading Blue Sky! Cure Sky!"]]'' |
| 15 | The main lead. A native of Sky Land who unexpectedly finds herself on Earth with Elle in tow after the invasion of the Underg Empire. |
| 16 | ---- |
| 17 | * AmbiguouslyGay: She is implied to have feelings for Mashiro; they even hold hands several times. In Episode 6, it's shown she can't go more than a few hours without Mashiro around. She's also unquestionably Elle's father figure. |
| 18 | * AnimeHair: In her civilian form, she has a large blue ponytail with asymmetrical bangs. As a Cure, she gains massive pigtails with pink tips and a streak in her bangs. |
| 19 | * AscendedFangirl: A big fan of superheroes before she became one herself, originally keeping a diary of common hero tropes to refer to on her journey to becoming the hero herself. |
| 20 | * BadassCape: Sports a blue one with red lining and gold tassels on her left shoulder in Cure form, fitting for the leader of the team. |
| 21 | * BarelyChangedDubName: Her name becomes “Sorahare Wataru” in the Taiwanese Mandarin dub. |
| 22 | * BlueIsHeroic: In both civilian and Cure forms, she's active and brave enough to do heroic deeds like save Princess Elle or defend the people she cares about. Notably, she's the first lead Cure to have blue as her associated color. |
| 23 | * BreakingOldTrends: She is notably the first blue Cure to be the lead protagonist, along with the first protagonist to be from another world (most Cures hail from Japan). [[spoiler: She is ''also'' the first lead Cure to have a dark corrupted form.]] |
| 24 | * CannotTellALie: Sora ''cannot'' answer any question she's asked with anything but the complete truth. As a result, she ''constantly'' tells anyone who asks a question the whole truth, like, when she first meets Ageha, she basically tells her everything, including the stuff about Pretty Cure, about how she got there, and she blurts out she's from Skyland to her class at school without thinking what she just said. |
| 25 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "It's hero time!" [[note]]"Hīrō no debandesu!"[[/note]] |
| 26 | * ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: For a foreigner Cure, she contrasts between Lala Hagoromo/Cure Milky from ''Anime/StarTwinklePrettyCure'' and Hime Shirayuki/Cure Princess from ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure''. All three of them hailed from another world who arrived on Earth under circumstances. |
| 27 | ** In Hime's case both are blue-themed foreigner Cures who hailed from a kingdom prior to visiting Earth and are (at first) socially awkward and friendless before meeting new friends. The difference is that Hime is a royal-born princess of Blue Sky Kingdom who arrived from Pikarigaoka on Earth after it was attacked by the Phantom Empire (courtesy of her opening the Axia Box), while Sora is born as a commoner from Sky Land who arrived from Sorashido on Earth with her and Ellee-chan after Kabaton and the Undergu Empire attacked the kingdom. Hime is a socially awkward girl who (initially) suffers from crippling shyness to the point that she simply runs away from fighting as Cure Princess and is also a RoyalBrat who is selfish and spoiled. By contrast, Sora is extremely hardworking, good-minded and brave in the face of danger in line with her values of ideal heroism by using [[TheParagon Captain Shalala]] as her role model, but she is notably reckless and even naive, who criticises herself for her failures. In their Cure forms, Hime uses magical attacks, while Sora uses physical attacks. |
| 28 | ** How their inspiration to become Cures differs. Hime becomes a Cure, a.k.a. Cure Princess, to save the Blue Sky Kingdom and restore her homeland [[NiceJobBreakingItHero from the mess she caused in the first place]], but it didn't go well at first due to her extreme shyness and timidity prior to meeting Megumi/Cure Lovely. Lala becomes a Cure after she successfully overcomes her angst of being far too reliant over an arbitrary data in regards of the impossibility of becoming a Cure thanks to Hikaru/Cure Star's help, with Lala becoming Cure Milky. On the other hand, Sora's inspiration to be a Cure stems from being saved by [[TheParagon Shalala]], the Captain of Sky Land, during her childhood, which in return she becomes Cure Sky in the present after she is steadfast in protecting Ellee from Kabaton. |
| 29 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Has blue eyes and blue hair. |
| 30 | * DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Not quite to the level of Mashiro, she was sure that she wanted to be a Hero, but wasn't quite sure what it meant. Thanks to saving Elle, she's found ''exactly'' what she wants to protect, and even manages to be enrolled, ''both as a Pretty Cure and'' '''''herself''''', into her idol's Azure Guard force, eventually becoming one of the commanders. |
| 31 | * {{Determinator}}: She does ''not'' give up, because she says a hero wouldn't. |
| 32 | * DorkKnight: She has all virtues of a true knight being kind, honorable, and brave while at the same time still being a teenage girl meaning she is also easily excitable, curious, and prone to the occassional dramatic speech. This helps not only to make her endearing but befits her status as an AscendedFangirl who finally gets to be a hero. |
| 33 | * DynamicEntry: In Episode 23 [[spoiler: after regaining her Cure Powers]], she drops out of the portal in the sky and delivers 2 consecutive Sky Punches to the [[spoiler:Shalala-Ranborg]]. |
| 34 | * ExperiencedProtagonist: She's been running around doing heroic deeds before she even became a Precure, and kept a journal describing common traits of heroes. |
| 35 | * EvilCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler: Being infected by the Undergu Energy in episode 49 does this to her, with her hair even being darkened (with black ombré and a red streak replacing the pink) and sprouting a single black wing.]] |
| 36 | * FishOutOfWater: She takes some time to adjust living on Earth rather than Skyland, especially with regards to technology. |
| 37 | * FriendlessBackground: She was so determined to train to be a hero that she completely forgot to make friends. Mashiro is her first real friend and she ends up getting nightmares over losing her when she becomes Cure Prism. |
| 38 | * GenkiGirl: She's an energetic, headstrong, and adventurous free spirit. |
| 39 | * HairstyleInertia: Has retained the same cut for her bangs since childhood. |
| 40 | * HeroicBSOD: She suffers one of these when [[spoiler: Captain Shalala is turned into a Ranborg, losing her confidence and ability to transform into Cure Sky with her Mirage Pen disappearing and the colours of her Sky Tone fading]]. |
| 41 | * HeroicWillpower: [[spoiler:Through sheer determination and the bond that she had with Prism, she managed to withstand Darkhead's possession even after it seemed like she was fully possessed by him.]] |
| 42 | * HoldMyGlasses: Early on in the series, she hands Mashiro her bag before she cuts loose with her martial arts. |
| 43 | * HonorBeforeReason: She has more heart than brains. On one occasion, she and Mashiro see what is blatantly Kabaton in disguise, heading towards an obviously fake trap with nonsense bait -- Mashiro is dumbfounded at such an obvious trick, but Sora immediately goes to "rescue" Kabaton, leading to her getting trapped by him. |
| 44 | * IdealHero: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. Sora, inspired by Shalala’s heroism, wants to be a hero like her. However, because she SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining, her people skills are terrible. She freaked out at the idea of Mashiro being a Cure, blows her identity a few times, is too good at things and [[spoiler:suffers a HeroicBSOD and gives up being a hero because her desire to protect her hero is overriding everything else, something even more terrified and passive Cures like Tsubomi and Hime would never do]]. In short, in trying to be a hero, she lost sight of the idea of failure. |
| 45 | * IdiotHair: In her civilian form, she has a slight ahoge on her head. |
| 46 | * InSeriesNickname: The students in her class start nicknaming her "Hero Girl", with it becoming an AffectionateNickname, to tbe point that by the end of the series, even '''''Shalala''''' is using the nickname. |
| 47 | * JerkassRealization: In episode 8, she shows overblown levels of suspicion and distrust towards Tsubasa appearing out of nowhere in Elle's room, even when the latter fully explains himself[[note]] In her defense, a boy appearing out of nowhere in your charge's room ''is'' rather suspicious at first glance.[[/note]]. Upon hearing his backstory and understanding him better, she is just as quick to apologize to and befriend Tsubasa on the spot. |
| 48 | * JumpedAtTheCall: She saw Kabaton kidnapping Elle and leaped right into action. And this was before she got Precure powers. This is actually an InvokedTrope on Sora's part because she has dedicated her life and trained her body for moments like these. |
| 49 | * LeParkour: She's an expert Parkour practitioner. |
| 50 | * LettingHerHairDown: In episode 8, her hair is no longer in her usual ponytail when she's in her pyjamas. |
| 51 | * MeaningfulName: Her full name means "clear, cloudless sky", with little alterations. |
| 52 | * MegatonPunch: Her finisher, Soaring Sky Punch. |
| 53 | * ModestyShorts: During her TransformationSequence, she wears blue shorts underneath her skirt. |
| 54 | * NewTransferStudent: Transfers to Mashiro's middle school in episode 7. |
| 55 | * OhCrap: She has this reaction each time she tries to do average in each sporting event but ends up doing exceptionally and accidentally beats a sport record. |
| 56 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: After being corrupted by Skearhead, she turns briefly into Darkury, an evil version of Cure Sky with a black costume and single black wing instead of her heroic cape. Fortunately, Mashiro is able to purify her via their bond alone before she can do anything bad.]] |
| 57 | * PowerMakesYourHairGrow: When transforming into Cure Sky, her usual short ponytail transforms into two pigtails that reach all the way to the ground. |
| 58 | * PracticallyDifferentGenerations: Sora is 14 and her younger brother appears to be around 4-5, showing that there's at least a decade between the siblings. |
| 59 | * PunnyName: Her InTheNameOfTheMoon speech, she declares "Mugen de hirogaru aoi no sora! Cure Sky!". Similarly to the title, she's either saying "Endlessly Spreading Blue Sky! Cure Sky!" or declaring herself the "Hero Girl of the Endless Blue Sky! Cure Sky!" which is, to some degree, ''also'' true. |
| 60 | * SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: She has amazing action skills, but she is terrible in everything else. Amazing speed, incredible strength, CannotTellALie, can't swim... |
| 61 | * SadisticChoice: Poor Sora has to experience this twice. |
| 62 | ** Battamonda presents her one in Episode 22: [[spoiler: Purify the Ranborg that he turned her idol Captain Shalala into and (possibly) kill her or leave it be, preserving her life but allowing it to rampage around and destroy everything]]. This sends poor Sora into a HeroicBSOD. |
| 63 | ** [[spoiler:Later on Episode 49, Darkhead gave her another one after he captures Prism: Continue to try resist him in her weakened state at the cost of Prism's life, or accept the powers of Undergu and become his vessel but she would be given a chance to save Prism. Darkhead inflicts the latter option before she can choose, but her trusting on Prism and her own HeroicWillpower allow her to remain in control of herself long enough for Prism to rescue her.]] |
| 64 | * SaveTheVillain: After Kabaton’s final defeat, she personally saves him from being killed by whoever leads the Underg Empire. |
| 65 | * ShesBack: After reading a letter from Mashiro that the latter instructed Yoyo to give to her and finding out that the [[spoiler:Shalala-Ranborg]] is wreaking havoc in town, Sora regains her resolve to become a hero once more to help her friends. This causes [[spoiler: her previously-broken Mirage Pen to come back and her Sky Tone to regain its colours, letting her transform into Cure Sky once more]]. |
| 66 | * SuperDrowningSkills: Episode 30 reveals she's a terrible swimmer and she almost ends up drowning. The others find it difficult to teach her how to swim since she struggles to get the hang of it. |
| 67 | * SuperheroesWearCapes: Fittingly for the AscendedFangirl, Cure Sky gets a cape that represents her commitment to heroic causes. |
| 68 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She serves as the tomboy (athletic and brave) to Mashiro's girly girl (polite and into cosmetics), also serving as the 'father' to Elle compared to Mashiro's 'mother' role. |
| 69 | * TomboyishPonytail: In her civilian form, she has a side ponytail and is an active girl who looks up to superheroes. |
| 70 | * TownGirls: The athletic butch to gentle Mashiro's femme and mature Ageha's neither. |
| 71 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cloud Bread becomes her favorite after Mashiro gives her some. |
| 72 | * VisualPun: [[spoiler:When Cure Sky is transformed into Dark Sky, she ends up getting a single wing on her back. In other words, she's become a OneWingedAngel.]] |
| 73 | * WalkDontSwim: Despite being a normal humanoid teenage girl, she pulls a Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog and sinks like a rock to the bottom of a body of water. In her defense, she ''trained'' herself to do this instead of actually learning how to swim and the other girls have to help her out. |
| 74 | * YouAreNotAlone: A notable flaw of hers is that she tends to shoulder things by herself in wanting to live her dreams of becoming a hero. [[spoiler:After losing her will to fight in Episode 22, she gets a letter from Mashiro that reminds her that the battle is not a lonely one, and has her friends to rely on whenever she's down. This allows her to bounce back and regain her powers, with an even stronger trust than before.]] |

| 82 | -->''"Gentle Light Soaring Softly! Cure Prism!"'' |
| 83 | |
| 84 | A Sorashido resident who meets Sora and Elle not long after the duo fall to Earth. |
| 85 | ---- |
| 86 | * AmbiguouslyGay: She has multiple ShipTease moments with Sora. |
| 87 | * BreakingOldTrends: She's the first white Cure to be able to transform on her own. [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Cure White]], [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar Cure Egret]] and [[Anime/SuitePrettyCure Cure Rhythm]] can only transform together with their respective partners (Cure Black, Cure Bloom and Cure Melody) while [[Anime/TropicalRougePrecure Cure Summer]] is officially classified as a rainbow Cure. |
| 88 | * CaretakingIsFeminine: Whenever Elle needs her mother, Mashiro is there to be the mother. |
| 89 | * ChildhoodFriends: Her friendship with Ageha. Flashbacks show they were both neighbours in their childhood until Ageha had to move away thanks to her mother's job, but thankfully the two of them could still keep connected. |
| 90 | * ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: To Honoka Yukishiro/Cure White from ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure''. Both are white-themed Cures and have parents who are at overseas and live with their own grandmother. Honoka is a [[GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak tomboyish teenage girl]] who lives at a traditional Japanese BigFancyHouse and likes science and curiosity, who likes to learn everything about the unknown. Mashiro, meanwhile, is the reverse to many of Honoka's traits. Unlike Honoka herself, Mashiro is a GirlyGirl who lives in a more modernized colonial style BigFancyHouse with her foreigner grandmother Yoyo who originated from Sky Land; likes nature and cooking more than Honoka and is easily scared of the unknown. Unlike Honoka who has to transform with Nagisa altogether, Mashiro can transform all by herself as Cure Prism. They are also different in terms of genetics: Honoka is a full-blooded human while Mashiro is a HalfHumanHybrid, who is part Skylandian. |
| 91 | * DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Her first focus episode has her unsure who she wants to be. Sora wants to be a hero, Ageha is making plans to be a teacher and her classmates already have plans, but she's unsure what she's good at. She turns into a ''phenomenal'' mother for Elle, and Episode 20 has her decide she wants to try out in making art and submits a picture book for a contest, eventually finding she enjoys writing them. |
| 92 | * FeminineMotherTomboyishDaughter: Is the motherly figure to Elle, whose teenage form, Cure Majesty, clearly picked up her combat style from her father figure. |
| 93 | * FirstFriend: Episode 5 shows that she is Sora's first real friend since the latter's childhood days. See FriendlessBackground in Sora's entry above. |
| 94 | * HalfHumanHybrid: A series first - part human, part Skylandian. |
| 95 | * TheHeart: Early Mashiro-focused episodes have really shown that one of her most positive traits is her overall kindness and compassion for others and how everyone else is drawn to her and further motivated by how she tries to support them. It's even emphasised as being another form of strength against Kabaton when he tries to disparage her for not being as showy or physically capable as Cure Sky or Cure Wing. Later episodes emphasize this with an upgraded version of Prism Shot, Prism Shine, being able to purify Undergu Energy without it hitting the target, [[spoiler: being the sole reason why a corrupted Cure Sky refuses to hurt her even when possessed by Skearhead]] and hilariously enough, being the only Cure not subject to the [[CornerOfWoe Armchair of Woe]] by Ellee in her bratty moments. |
| 96 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: Mashiro struggles with self-esteem throughout the series, downplaying herself frequently. Episode 17 has her deal with the fact that she feels so inadequate towards Sora. During the baton pass, she trips while other racers pass by her. Even though she and Sora won, she still feels guilty that Sora has to pick up the slack for her. In Episode 20, she was willing to miss a contest deadline and throw her hard work away to fight the MonsterOfTheWeek, and had to be convinced to sit out and get her contest entry submitted. |
| 97 | * HiddenDepths: Episode 30 reveals she's very skilled at swimming and is top in swimming classes at school. She is successfully able to teach Sora after Tsubasa and Ageha struggled to do so. |
| 98 | * InSeriesNickname: Is referred to as 'Mashiron' by those close to her. |
| 99 | * LightEmUp: Of the HardLight variety. Her powers also have a rainbow quality, reflecting how prisms reflect the colors of light. |
| 100 | * MeaningfulName: The ''niji'' in her surname means "rainbow" while her first name ''Mashiro'' means "pure white", which fits Cure ''Prism's'' rainbow color scheme. |
| 101 | * MetaGirl: Compared to her Skylandian counterparts, Mashiro tends to be more grounded and prone to pointing out preposterous things in the story. She's not fooled at all when Kabaton tricks Sora with an obvious trap and when she sees a picture of Tsubasa's favorite food, 'yakitai', she's quick to point out that it looks exactly like taiyaki. |
| 102 | * PowerMakesYourHairGrow: As Cure Prism, her already long hair goes to being waist-length. |
| 103 | * RaisedByGrandparents: Is stated to live with her grandmother as her parents are normally working overseas. |
| 104 | * RazorApples: A rare positive example. [[spoiler: Dark Head's final plan relies on possessing Sora and using her to destroy the Cures and then Skyland. He has her attack Mashiro. His plan fails almost ''instantly''.]] |
| 105 | * RoseHairedSweetie: She has pink hair in both her civilian and Cure forms (though her hair color as Cure Prism is a much brighter shade of pink) and is nice even to strangers from another world. [[spoiler: She's so kind and loving, the embodiment of Evil can't even make someone hurt her!]] |
| 106 | * SaveTheVillain: Despite ''all'' attempts by Battemonda to corrupt and belittle her, they end up becoming good friends and she outright saves him from Skearhead. |
| 107 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She serves as the polite girly girl to Sora's athletic tomboy. |
| 108 | * TownGirls: The gentle femme to athletic Sora's butch and mature Ageha's neither. |
| 109 | * UnevenHybrid: Her grandmother Yo-yo is a Skylandian, meaning that Mashiro is most likely one-fourth. |
| 110 | * VSign: She performs these several times during her transformation into Cure Prism, then finally does this as her final pose during her InTheNameOfTheMoon speech. |
| 111 | * YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: She starts the series with some self-doubt, feeling she lacks direction or clear strength worth respecting, in light of Sora's desire to be a hero, or Ageha's dream of being a nursery school teacher. It leads to some problems when Kabaton disparages Mashiro as a "side character", making her worry about whether she's worthy to be a Precure, until Ageha tells her that her she is already strong with her innate kindness and gentleness. |

| 120 | -->''"Courage That Soars To The Heavens! Cure Wing!"'' |
| 121 | |
| 122 | A mysterious boy from the Puni Bird tribe who properly debuts in Episode 8. |
| 123 | ---- |
| 124 | * {{Acrofatic}}: More like "Aerofatic" but he's pretty plump in his bird form, though that doesn’t stop him from attempting to fly (and eventually succeeding). |
| 125 | * AssistCharacter: Techinically, Titanic Rainbow Attack is his and Cure Butterfly's combination attack like how Updraft Shining is for Cures Sky and Prism. In practice however he serves as this to Butterfly. |
| 126 | * BarelyChangedDubname: His last name becomes “Yuyo” (transcribed as 夕陽) in the Taiwanese Mandarin dub. |
| 127 | * BoyishShorts: His human form is a young boy wearing shorts. |
| 128 | * BreakingOldTrends: While there has been a male Cure and a few pseudo-Cure allies before Wing, he's the first male Cure to be part of the core team. |
| 129 | * DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: With Mashiro now having a dream to become a picture book illustrator, Tsubasa worries about what he wants to do in the future the moment Ellee grows up and no longer needs his protection, with the added fact that his own ambition to fly was pretty much handed to him on a silver platter when he became a Cure. After a trip to Yoyo's vegetable garden and realizing that his studies in aerodynamics can help in other ways (such as predicting the weather and how to create hail), Tsubasa resolves to study hard in other related fields and become as knowledgeable as Yoyo. |
| 130 | * EffeminateVoice: He's a cute, girly-looking boy voiced by Creator/AyumuMurase, who is known for his high-pitched voice. |
| 131 | * FamilyThemeNaming: His family members are named after terms related to flight, notably Tsubasa himself (meaning "wing") and his father Kakeru (meaning "soar"). |
| 132 | * {{Flight}}: His primary power that differentiates him from the other Cures is his ability to fly. |
| 133 | * GadgeteerGenius: Manages to invent a whole new type of weapon, along with a DeflectorShield, using the purified form of Undergu Energy, Kira Kira energy, to allow ''anyone'' to defeat Ranborgs, and even manages to repair said shield ''in the middle of a battle''. |
| 134 | * HiddenInPlainSight: He's first seen as a bird perched on the trellis to Yoyo and Mashiro's house in episode 2, and takes six episodes before being properly introduced as a human. |
| 135 | * HidingBehindYourBangs: His hairstyle as a civilian hides his left eye, fitting for his uncertainty and lost nature before he becomes a Cure. Fittingly enough, his hair moves out of his eye before his Cure transformation. |
| 136 | * IChooseToStay: He purposefully decided to stay on Earth in order to study aerodynamics. |
| 137 | * IdiotHair: He has a swirly ''ahoge'' on top of his head in his human form. |
| 138 | * MeaningfulName: His first name, Tsubasa, is Japanese for "Wing", befitting his role as Cure Wing. His species (the Puni Birds) are small squishy birds, and puni is an onomatopoeia for squishy. |
| 139 | * MorphicResonance: Has a little tuft atop his bird self's head which he keeps as a human. In addition, his jacket resembles his bird form's chest pattern. In his bird form he wears a ribbon around his neck which becomes his jacket's zipper as a civillian and a garter on his leg when he becomes a Cure. |
| 140 | * TheOneGuy: The first male Precure who is on the main team. |
| 141 | * PowerMakesYourHairGrow: When transforming into Cure Wing, his short hair gains a long ponytail that goes down his back. |
| 142 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: His bird form is a small cute chick with large bright eyes. |
| 143 | * ShowgirlSkirt: Male example. As Cure Wing, he wears a skirt split down the front, displaying his legs and shorts. |
| 144 | * SignificantBirthDate: May 21, the second day of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Lindbergh Charles Lindbergh's]] 1927 non-stop flight from New York to Paris. |
| 145 | * TheSilentBob: Prior to his human self debuting in episode 8, he doesn't speak in bird form. |
| 146 | * SpeaksFluentAnimal: Thanks to him being a shapeshifting bird fairy, he's able to communicate with birds when he's on Earth. |
| 147 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: As a bird, his plumage color takes after his mother's as episode 10 goes to show. |
| 148 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: He can freely change between human and bird form at will. Apparently a long time ago his species had traded the ability to fly for the abilities to turn into a human and create art. |
| 149 | * WingsDoNothing: A long time ago the Puni Bird tribe traded their flight for the abilities to create art and assume human forms. However, if under great duress (such as Tsubasa's father saving him after he fell off), they can "temporarily regain" this ability. This event led to Tsubasa's dream of learning how to fly at will in spite of this. |
| 150 | * YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Ageha rarely refers to Tsubasa by his name, mostly calls him "shounen" ("boy" or "young man", depending on the translation); so when she actually does in Episode 36 when she's emotionally vulnerable, Tsubasa is shocked. |

| 160 | A childhood friend of Mashiro's who dreams to be a nursery school teacher. She debuts in episode 4 and becomes Cure Butterfly in Episode 18. |
| 161 | ---- |
| 162 | * AllYourColorsCombined: By selecting all four colors (red, yellow, blue and white) on her Colorful Action Mix Palette, she can use her finishing move Titanic Rainbow Attack. |
| 163 | * AnimalMotifs: Self explanatory but [[PrettyButterflies butterflies]]. With both her cure name and also the butterfly styled ribbon in her hair as Cure Butterfly. After her transformation, the bows on her skirt and hat flutter like butterflies. Like how butterflies are the final stage in a caterpillar's life cycle, Ageha is the adult of the Hirogaru Sky Cures. |
| 164 | * BadassTeacher: Became a Cure shortly after starting her job as a student teacher. She even runs around the MonsterOfTheWeek with one of the kids on her back, refusing to let him get hurt. |
| 165 | * BarrierWarrior: One of her attacks is summoning a butterfly wing as a shield. She can also summon multiple shields at once to make a large defense net or as a layered shield. |
| 166 | * BigEater: Episode 41 shows she's got a massive appetite after she's still fine while Sora and Tsubasa have stomach aches after a big meal. She even states she's always been able to eat a lot. |
| 167 | --> '''Ageha''': I've always been able to eat a lot.\ |
| 168 | '''Sora''': Your stomach is in another dimension. |
| 169 | * BreakingOldTrends: She's broken several trends regarding to ''Pretty Cure'' tradition: |
| 170 | ** She's the first pink Cure who is not the leader of her team. |
| 171 | ** She's the first Pretty Cure on the main team to explicitly be an adult (at the age of 18) [[note]] the first adult Cure overall is Kaoruko Hanasaki/Cure Flower from ''[=HeartCatch=]'' [[/note]]. |
| 172 | ** She's the first Cure from the main team to not debut in the first episode (making her untransformed debut in episode 4). |
| 173 | ** She's the first member of the main team to not receive her powers and become a Cure within the first four months of the season. It takes a total of ''18 episodes'' for her to become a Cure. |
| 174 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Let's get excited!" |
| 175 | * CharacterTics: She has a habit of constantly doing a VSign, especially when she's really hyped up about something. |
| 176 | * ChildhoodFriends: Her friendship with Mashiro. Flashbacks show they were both neighbours in their childhood until Ageha had to move away thanks to her mother's job, but thankfully the two of them could still keep connected. |
| 177 | * CoolBigSis: Despite not being related, she's seen this way by Mashiro and very quickly becomes one for Sora. |
| 178 | * CoolCar: She owns and drives a [[https://www.imcdb.org/v001757462.html yellow bullbarless Hummer [=H3=]]]. Funnily enough, her car sports the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoshinsha_mark shoshinsha mark]] for beginner drivers in Japan, which implied that she chose a Hummer as ''her first car''. |
| 179 | * ADayInTheLimelight: |
| 180 | ** While most episodes that feature her have her as a side character, Episode 18 makes her the focus character as she starts her job as a nursery school student teacher. Makes sense, seeing it's the episode she finally becomes a Cure. |
| 181 | ** The following episode stars her and Tsubasa, to the point where Sora and Mashiro aren't shown for most of the episode. In fact, Cure Sky or Prism only appear at the tail end of the battle against the MonsterOfTheWeek, and that's so she could use her Mixing Palette. |
| 182 | ** Episode 36 focuses on her job as a student-teacher in the local kindergarten, and how she copes with one of the students who gets attached to her having to move away. |
| 183 | * DeathFromAbove: |
| 184 | ** Her Butterfly Press attack involves her hitting a giant set of butterfly wings onto the Ranborg, purifying it. |
| 185 | ** Similarly, her Titanic Rainbow Attack turns Cure Wing into a gigantic version of his fairy bird form to crush the Ranborg. |
| 186 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: She dislikes plain green peppers, but is fine eating them with dipping sauce to cover up the taste. |
| 187 | * DontSplitUsUp: |
| 188 | ** She was very devastated when learning her family would be moving away when she was younger and didn't want to be separated from Mashiro, which caused her to run off crying. |
| 189 | ** She also has this dynamic with her older sisters. The three of them are devastated when she's split from them after their parents split and their mother takes custody of Ageha and their dad takes the others. |
| 190 | * FashionableAsymmetry: More so than any of the other Cures in the team. This includes a long purple sock on one leg and a ribbon on the other, along with a huge bow pinned to the right side of her skirt. |
| 191 | * FriendToAllChildren: Her love for Ellee is instant upon meeting her and willingly goes out of her way to protect her upon coming into a dangerous situation. Her having a fondness for children is befitting for her dream to become a nursery school teacher. |
| 192 | * GenkiGirl: Despite being the oldest, she is the most excitable and energetic of her team. |
| 193 | * TheGlomp: Her favorite way of greeting her friends is to run up and hug them. She initially planned to hug Mashiro in episode 4 but hugged Sora instead. In episode 6, she gives Sora a proper hug to say hello when she sees her. |
| 194 | * GoalInLife: Her aspiration is to become a nursery school teacher. |
| 195 | * HeyYou: She always calls Tsubasa "Boy" even after getting close to him, so when she [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness actually calls him by his name]] in Episode 36 duing a moment of vulnerability, [[YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious Tsubasa is shocked]]. |
| 196 | * ICallItVera: Names her Hummer "Piyo-chan".[[labelnote:Explanation]]Most likely comes from the word "Papillon" (meaning "butterfly" in French), which read as パピヨン (Pa'''piyo'''n) in Japanese.[[/labelnote]] |
| 197 | * LoudSleeperGag: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in episode 13. She seems to be snoring obnoxiously in her sleep, but it quickly turns out she's faking it so Sora and Mashiro can have a heart-to-heart outside. |
| 198 | * MeaningfulName: Her first name ''Ageha'' is Japanese for "swallowtail butterfly", while her last name ''Hijiri'' roughly means "holy" and also commonly used to refers to Saints, perfectly fitting for her role as Cure Butterfly and the series' aerial theme. |
| 199 | * MsFanservice: As a TokenAdult, Butterfly gets away with one of the most outright provocative outfits yet, and both her transformation and solo attack take full advantage of it. |
| 200 | * NomDeMom: Her last name comes from her mother. Makes sense after she got custody of Ageha when they split up. |
| 201 | * PerpetualSmiler: It's quite rare to not see her with a smile on her face. Though episode 36 showing that she sometimes does it to [[StepfordSmiler hide her insecurities and vulnerability]]. |
| 202 | --> '''Tsubasa:''' Please, you don't have to [[LampshadedTrope fake a smile]]. Just BeYourself. |
| 203 | * PlayfulCatSmile:: She has this during her TransformationSequence. Befitting for her carefree personality. |
| 204 | * PowerDyesYourHair: She has brown hair in her civilian form which turns blonde as Cure Butterfly. |
| 205 | * PrettyButterflies: Being a Pretty Cure with a Butterfly Motif, this goes without saying. The ribbons on her cure form even look and flutter like butterflies. |
| 206 | * ProjectileKiss: One of her attacks is her blowing a kiss which takes the form of a fluttering butterfly that explodes and knocks the Ranborg over. |
| 207 | * SecretKeeper: Works both ways: |
| 208 | ** Before becoming a Cure, she ends up keeping the Cures' identities under wraps after witnessing Sora and Mashiro transform. |
| 209 | ** In turn, one of her students, Takeru, becomes ''her'' SecretKeeper when she first transforms into Cure Butterfly. |
| 210 | * StatusBuff: She can use the Mixing Palette to give allies buffs or enemies debuffs by mixing two colors together. |
| 211 | ** Using Red and White gives a strength boost. |
| 212 | ** Using Red and Yellow neutralizes enemy debuffs. |
| 213 | ** Using White and Blue freezes things. |
| 214 | ** Using Yellow and Blue heals people. |
| 215 | ** Using Red and Blue causes a RandomEffectSpell such as giving someone smoke trails or creating pretty light shows. |
| 216 | ** Using White and Yellow gives a speed boost. |
| 217 | * TeamMom: Being the TokenAdult of the team, she takes up this role towards the team. Constantly helping the others when they are in need, looking out for their wellbeing and even encouraging Sora and Mashiro to spend quality time together. And prior to becoming a Cure herself, she took care of Ellee while the Cures were off fighting. |
| 218 | * TokenAdult: At 18, she's the oldest Pretty Cure ever who is on the main team. |
| 219 | * TokenHuman: With Sora being Sky Landian, Mashiro being a HalfHumanHybrid, Tsubasa being a shapeshifting bird fairy and Elle being a literal magic baby who can age herself to participate in battle when necessary, she's the only one to be purely human. |
| 220 | * TownGirls: The relaxed and mature neither to athletic Sora's butch and gentle Mashiro's femme. |
| 221 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: English tea latte with white chocolate and extra whipped cream. |
| 222 | * VSign: She constantly does these whenever she gets a chance to. |

| 231 | -->''"Descend, Mystical Nobility! Cure Majesty!"'' |
| 232 | |
| 233 | The infant princess of Sky Land who has the mysterious power to conjure Sky Tones. |
| 234 | ---- |
| 235 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: Is a literal example and the mascot of ''Hirogaru Sky''. |
| 236 | * BadassAdorable: An adorable baby who when transformed into Cure Majesty, proves to be a very powerful Cure capable of protecting both herself and her loved ones, while also being adorably precocious, retaining her childlike innocence. |
| 237 | * ABirthdayNotABreak: The story kicks off on her first birthday. |
| 238 | * BornAgainImmortality: Elle carries the power of the legendary Cure Noble, a distant enemy of the Undergu Empire to the point that, when she manifests as her, Empress Undergu wants her '''''dead'''''. [[spoiler: Or rather... Skearhead does...]] |
| 239 | * BornOfMagic: [[spoiler:She's an ArtificialHuman created by Princess Elleelain's magic.]] |
| 240 | * BreakingOldTrends: For a SixthRanger, she's also broken some trends: |
| 241 | ** She's the first baby to become a Cure ''while still a baby''. |
| 242 | ** She's the first ''direct'' successor to a Legendary Cure. |
| 243 | ** Discounting [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure Cures Sunshine and Moonlight]] in ''[[Anime/PrettyCureAllStars Pretty Cure All Stars DX2]]'' and [[Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure Honey]] in ''New Stage 3'' as those movies aired before they officially joined their respective teams, alongside [[Anime/HealinGoodPrettyCure Cure Earth]] for ''Pretty Cure Miracle Leap'' where she only appears to help Cure Grace to explain how to use the Miracle Lights[[labelnote:note]]The movie was supposed to air before her debut but because of production delays caused by the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic had a lengthy delay[[/labelnote]], Cure Majesty's the first SixthRanger to make her movie debut alongside the core team. |
| 244 | * CasualDangerDialogue: Manages to turn ''the henshin phrase'' into it, calmly stating it as Skearhead is attacking her, before she manages to NoSell his attacks as a Cure and prepare to give him an aerial haymaker of the kind done by '''''Franchise/{{Superman}}'''''... |
| 245 | * CheerfulChild: She's happy most of the time when not in danger, especially when Mashiro and Sora cheer her up. |
| 246 | * ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: To Hugtan from ''Anime/HugttoPrettyCure'' and Haa-chan/Kotoha Hanami from ''Anime/MahoGirlsPrecure''. All three are infants who acted as the main mascots of their own respective Cure team. |
| 247 | ** In Hugtan's case, both are the main targets of the primary evil faction's members and [[BigBad its leader]]. Hugtan is a KidFromTheFuture who associates from the future; she narrowly escapes George Kurai, her father, and the rest of Criasu Corporation in the future timeline; she is revealed to be a teenager in the future as Cure Tomorrow before reverting to her infant form in the present. Ellee, on the other hand, associates from the past, who is an infant [[BornAgainImmortality bearing Cure Noble's powers]] and her Cure form [[OlderAlterEgo transforms her into a teenage girl]], which becomes the bane of Empress Undergu, Noble's ArchNemesis, who wants her dead. Hugtan is a FearlessInfant who is unafraid in face of danger ([[KnightOfCerebus unless George appears at the scene]]) and instead of running away, she outright confronts the monster as an ''infant'' but does not transform into a Cure. Ellee is a BadassAdorable who transforms into Cure Majesty with the rest of the Cures to protect anyone she cares for, but unlike Hugtan she retains her childlike innocence. |
| 248 | ** In Kotoha's case, both her and Ellee-chan are infants with an OlderAlterEgo who were strongly connected to a legendary figure and a PrecursorHero from the past. Kotoha/Haa-chan was reincarnated from her predecessor Mother [=RaPaPa=], a divine being who watched both the Magic World and No Magic World, who [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificed herself]] after sealing Deusmast and halting its destruction to both worlds. On the other hand, Ellee is the current bearer of Cure Noble's powers, who turns out to be a legendary Cure who was enemies with the Undergu Empire in the distant past. While Kotoha goes into a PlotRelevantAgeUp throughout the series until she is a teenager both physically and mentally after both Mirai and Riko collected every Linkle Stone, Ellee is only a teenage girl as Cure Majesty and her age-up only lasts until she goes back to her baby form again. |
| 249 | * DubNameChange: Her cure name becomes "Cure Princess" in the Taiwanese Mandarin dub, which didn’t dub ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure''. |
| 250 | * FeminineMotherTomboyishDaughter: While Mashiro is very much feminine, Cure Majesty fights like Honoka and Nagisa, not stopping unless they're embedded in a nearby wall, not helped by her "father", Sora, teaching her RapidfireFisticuffs as a technique. |
| 251 | * FoundFamily: When she was given to the King and Queen, they were ''specifically'' told that they were Ellee's temporary parents. Her real parents? ''Mashiro and Sora''. |
| 252 | * InconsistentSpelling: She's also known as Elle, El, or just L. |
| 253 | * LegacyCharacter: To Elleelain/Cure Noble. In Episode 47, Majesty even gets to use Noble's individual finisher "Magic Hour's End" in the same manner, though Noble starts hers with "Precure" while Majesty's version starts the same way as her teammates with "Hirogaru/Soaring". |
| 254 | * MacGuffinSuperPerson: The Underg Empire attempts to kidnap her at the start of the series and she has the ability to create the Cures' TransformationTrinkets. |
| 255 | * MeaningfulName: Ellee is taken from El which is God in Hebrew. This fits the theme of the series being sky/heavens based, on top of her coming from the literal heavens. |
| 256 | * MegatonPunch: Her '''''opening gambit''''' is to fly straight towards the enemy, fist at the ready. |
| 257 | * TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: When she turns into Cure Majesty, she suddenly becomes intelligent and able to speak coherently and act like a teenage girl. When she turns back into her normal form, she goes back to acting like a baby. |
| 258 | * OlderAlterEgo: In order to transform, she magically ages up into a teenager and ''then'' transforms into Cure Majesty. However, her age-up is only temporary, and she reverts back to a baby after de-transforming. Episode 47 has Princess Elleelain gives her the ability to become a teenager outside of Cure Majesty, but it automatically reverses when she's hungry and out of energy. |
| 259 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: She's ''only'' two years old and is capable of fighting alongside her parents as a Cure. |
| 260 | * PlotRelevantAgeUp: While she was able to temporarily age up into a teenager when becoming Cure Majesty, it isn't until episode 47 where her age-up actually becomes permanent, though if she's hungry she'll turn back into a baby. |
| 261 | * PokemonSpeak: She mainly says her name to communicate at first, which is how Sora is able to guess it; her vocabulary gradually expands from episode 15 onward. Episode 24 reveals the King and Queen also named her that for the same reason. |
| 262 | * PowerDyesYourHair: While some Cures usually gets a lighter shade of their hair when transformed, Elle inverse this by making her light purple hair turned darker with ombre as Cure Majesty. |
| 263 | * PrincessesPreferPink: She's the princess of Sky Land, and she wears a pink dress, though it is downplayed overall though since her image color is purple. |
| 264 | * PsychicChildren: After Tsubasa was falling to his death, Ellee used some psychic powers to temporarily hold him up. |
| 265 | * PurpleIsPowerful: Her color motif as a Cure is purple and packs enough power to fight Skearhead to a stop and teleport the other Cures out of his pocket dimension. |
| 266 | * SelfFulfillingProphecy: She was given to her parents as part of a prophecy that she would encounter her true surrogate parents and face a great destiny. [[spoiler:Ellelain, her birth mother, knew all of this since she'd '''''met''''' Elle and her surrogate parents 300 years ago.]] |
| 267 | * ShowgirlSkirt: As Cure Majesty, she wears a long skirt that splits at the front, displaying her legs. |
| 268 | * SixthRanger: She's the season's late arrival Cure. |
| 269 | * ThirdPersonPerson: As her vocabulary grows to her speaking in full sentences by episode 31 and being a toddler, she speaks like this when referring to herself, temporarily dropping it when aged up. |
| 270 | * TokenMiniMoe: The youngest of the ''Hirogaru Sky'' Cures... and at 2 years old, the youngest Cure ever physically.[[note]]Despite having the physical body of someone at the age of 20, [[Anime/HealinGoodPrecure Asumi Fuurin]] is technically at 0 years old as she was ReallyWasBornYesterday.[[/note]] |
| 271 | * VerbalTic: As per tradition for a Pretty Cure mascot, she says "Eru~". |
| 272 | * VerbalTicName: Sora names her "Ellee" based on her verbal tic, only to be pleasantly surprised when she meets the King and Queen, and they admit that she got it exactly right. Hilariously, in Episode 24, it's found out that the King and Queen ''did exactly the same thing''. |
| 273 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: In Episode 47, Princess Elleelain gives her the ability to transform into a teenager outside of being Cure Majesty. However if she's hungry (out of energy), she'll automatically revert back to being a baby. |
| 274 | * WonderChild: Ellee was ''literally'' delivered to her parents from the heavens above for a great destiny. |

| 284 | |
| 285 | ---- |
| 286 | * ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: In comparison to [[Anime/HeartCatchPrettyCure Kaoruko Hanasaki/Cure Flower]] acting as an elderly mentor figure to the main Cures, Yoyo is vastly different to Kaoruko in many ways. |
| 287 | ** Kaoruko was born in Kibougahana on Earth who was once a Pretty Cure before losing her ability to do so due to Dune, 50 years ago. Yoyo is revealed to be a foreigner who was born in Sky Land and came to Earth 50 years ago and has stayed there ever since, which in return makes her responsible for Mashiro's quarter-Skylandian heritage. |
| 288 | ** Kaoruko is a RetiredBadass and a karate champion who was once a Pretty Cure in the form of Cure Flower and worked as a botanist, who is undoubtedly wise and speaks with old-school speech patterns. Yoyo is a Skylandian scholar from Sky Land who is a researcher regarding the human world, where she speaks in a very modern but intellectual manner, relying on her keen intellect and her adept mind, but she is extremely secretive and keeps it until the very right moment. |
| 289 | ** Kaoruko has a long brown hair and wears a lab coat and a dark-green turtle-neck dress. Yoyo has a long white hair tied in a ponytail and wears a black turtle-neck dress with a red shawl, as well as glasses. |
| 290 | * IChooseToStay: Has lived on Earth for several decades despite being perfectly capable of going back to Skyland. |
| 291 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Her reaction to her granddaughter bringing home a pair of strangers that fell from the sky is to welcome them in and give them a place to stay, later revealing she knew ''exactly'' who they were. |
| 292 | * RecurringElement: She's not the first to be the [[Anime/HeartCatchPrettyCure Grandmother of one of the Cures and also mentor to the Precure.]] |

| 299 | The captain of the Azure Guards whose swordsmanship is second to none in Skyland. She was the one who saved Sora back in the latter's childhood, inspiring her to be a hero as well. |
| 300 | |
| 301 | ---- |
| 302 | * AnimalMotif: Eagles. As her main mount is an eagle like bird called Washion and like said bird, she keeps a close eye on Sky Land to ensure no members of the Undergu Empire or other villains can interfere. |
| 303 | * BookEnds: Around the start of the series, she's revealed to have been the hero who protected Sora when she was only 10 years old. During the final battle, she protects her again while she's Cure Sky in the same fashion. |
| 304 | * ContrastingReplacementCharacter: She serves as a replacement to Fennel from the previous season. Both are the captains of their own royal army, but she is the opposite to him. Unlike Fennel who despite being TheCaptain of Cook Kingdom's army is revealed to be TheMole and main antagonist all along, Shalala has a strong sense of justice and fights alongside the Cures against the Undergu Empire. Fennel is EvilAllAlong who is an active threat, while Shalala is GoodAllAlong who was brainwashed by a Ranborg, making her a VictimOfTheWeek. |
| 305 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Episode 42 gives her more focus than usual as she comes to Earth for the first time with Sora, Mashiro and Ageha showing her around. |
| 306 | * TheHerosIdol: She saved Sora's life ten years ago and inspired her to become a hero. |
| 307 | * NeverFoundTheBody: She had disappeared after getting shot down against the Ranborg in Episode 15 with no trace of her body. It's revealed in Episode 22 that Battemonda found her near death and "saved" her by turning her into a Ranborg. |
| 308 | * ParentalSubstitute: Sora and her share this dynamic, Shalala happily letting Sora hug her while also giving her advice on how to be a Hero. |
| 309 | * PrecursorHero: She's the captain of the Azure Guards, a heroic team that protects Skyland. |
| 310 | * VictimOfTheWeek: In Episode 22, it's revealed she was transformed into a Ranborg as a twisted way to save her from dying. |

| 318 | ---- |
| 319 | * {{Determinator}}: Due to injuring her hand as a child, she was very determined in joining the Azure Guards and worked harder than most others. |
| 320 | * TheRival: Is considered one for Sora during her first appearance due to her viewing her as a weakling. She gets better though. |
| 321 | * TrickedOutGloves: Her glove has a gemstone that allows her to summon electrical energy. |
| 322 | * VictimOfTheWeek: Specifically her glove, but she herself is targeted by Battamonda of the Undurg Empire. This does cause her to pass out temporarily. |

| 329 | ---- |
| 330 | * {{Expy}}: She bears quite a strong resemblance to the titular protagonist of ''Manga/SuperPig''. |
| 331 | * MentorMascot: She serves as this for the cures when they are sucked into the Mirror Pad. |
| 332 | * PinkMeansFeminine: With her being a pink pig fairy and pink bow on her head, it's already ticks the boxes. |
| 333 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Even if the training didn't go too well, it was their sheer determination alone that managed to impress her so much that she decides to pass them anyway. |
| 334 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Just have a look at her and you will see how cute she is. |
| 335 | * SneezeOfDoom: |
| 336 | ** Played with but her sneeze is what blows away all the Cures training Cards and causes them to come back all jumbled, causing each cure to get the wrong training plan. |
| 337 | ** Played a bit more straight the second time when her second sneeze caused a Ranborg Card to hit the door out, turning it into a Ranborg. |
| 338 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Thanks to her sneezing and jumbling up everyone's training cards, it goes without saying that they all don't do so well when training with her, much to her disappointment. |
| 339 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Her second sneeze accidentally sends a Ranborg Card onto the doorway out once the Cure pass their tests, meaning they have to fight it to get out of the Mirror Pad. |
| 340 | * VerbalTic: Being a Pig Fairy, she tends to say Oink at the end of sentences. |

| 361 | * SheWasRightThereAllAlong: Ellelain seals herself into Skyland's equivalent of the North Star while preparing for when Ellee would be needed. |
| 362 | * ShowgirlSkirt: As Cure Noble, she wears a skirt that splits at the front. |
| 363 | * TrulySingleParent: She created Ellee using magic and gave her to the King and Queen of Sky Land in order for Sora to save her a year later. |
| 364 | * WalkingSpoiler: Her name, her relation to Ellee and the magic star, as well as her entire existence, is considered a spoiler. |

| 384 | [[quoteright:478:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/empress_underg_profile_toei.png]] |
| 385 | A female that is Kabaton, Battamonda, Minoton and Skearhead's superior and has been, for 300 years, waiting for the opportunity to get her revenge on Ellelain for the defeat of the Undergu Empire. However, all is not as it seems... |
| 386 | ---- |
| 387 | * AvengingTheVillain: Wishes to avenge her father, believing that Cure Noble killed him in cold blood, despite witnesses seeing that she both stopped Cure Noble from killing him, and also got an injury from the same attack. Later it turns out Skearhead altered the memory of her giving Ellelain one of her plush dolls, to make it seem like he died much earlier than reality. |
| 388 | * BadBoss: Her horrible treatment of poor Kabaton speaks volumes of how mean of a boss she is. As soon as Skearhead is banished, however, she's much more hands off and appreciative of all her few subjects. |
| 389 | * DaddysLittleVillain: Despite engaging in villainy, Emperor Underug has a good relationship with her, instructing her to stay away from the conflict and when she [[TakingTheBullet came between the Emperor and Cure Noble's duel]] and gained a bad wound, he was absolutely distraught. |
| 390 | * DeathFromAbove: After Kabaton admits defeat at the end of Episode 12, she prepares to kill Kabaton through lightning. Had Cure Sky not intervened, he would've been good as roast pork. |
| 391 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: In Episode 48, the Empress reveals that Cure Noble suddenly kills the Emperor during the birthday exchange and she is helpless to stop Noble until Skearhead came to rescue her. The catch is she only mentions Skearhead rather than appearing himself from her memories in our perspective. It's eventually revealed one episode later that [[spoiler:'''''Skearhead kills the Emperor after the exchange and not Cure Noble''''', and fabricated Empress' memories into the one mentioned above so she can develop a false grudge against Noble and her successor, Cure Majesty, for her tutor's malicious plan]]. To mold things out further, [[spoiler:Cure Noble herself states that in reality she doesn't see Undergu Empire again after the exchange ''without doing anything'']]. |
| 392 | * GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: The Empress picked up a hobby after the Undergu Empire turned peaceful, making plush dolls of herself and Cure Noble. When she forgives Cure Noble, one of the things she's doing is going back to making the dolls. |
| 393 | * KnightOfCerebus: |
| 394 | ** Every time she's demanded Kabaton to get serious with obtaining Elle, things will get dangerous for the Cures. |
| 395 | ** After Kabaton's time was over, her next appearance was several episodes later punishing the strong yet comedic Minoton for prioritizing his strength training over kidnapping Elle and dispatches Skearhead in his place - who is a far more dangerous NoNonsenseNemesis who almost defeats the Cures on his first try. |
| 396 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: She becomes absolutely distraught over all the needless destruction she helped cause after learning that Skearhead was the one who actually murdered her father and tricked her into reigniting the war by rewriting her memories. She gets better after Cures Sky and Prism convince her that it's not too late to make up for her mistakes and offer her the hand of friendship. |
| 397 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: She literally, point blank, tells them to strike her with their most powerful attack... and then overpowers it to the point they are the ones scattered and defeated. |
| 398 | * PuppetQueen: Turns out to be one, with her memories of 300 years ago altered to make her think Skyland's Legendary Cure betrayed her and murdered her father, just so she'll continue the pointless conflict that her father ended. |
| 399 | * PutOnABus: She was completely absent during Battamonda's arc, not even punishing him for his constant failures against the Cures. That being said, she did mention him when talking about her lower subordinates and how they were inferior to Skearhead. |
| 400 | * ShockAndAwe: So far has been seen using lightning bolts to punish subordinates who aren't doing as they're told. |
| 401 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: As well as the leader, she's also the only female member of the Undergu Empire. |
| 402 | * TheSocialDarwinist: Believes that the Undurg Empire doesn't have room for the weak, considering Kabaton's reaction to his defeat, which is revealed to have been drummed into her by Skearhead over the past 300 years. |
| 403 | * TakingTheBullet: Gained a bad wound 300 years ago when she attempted to come [[FriendOrIdolDecision between her father and Cure Noble.]] |
| 404 | * TragicVillain: [[spoiler:What she ultimately is: a seeker of peace between Skyland and the Undergu Empire, brainwashed into a ruthless tyrant by Skearhead for his own nefarious purposes.]] |
| 405 | * TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: She's slim and seductive, compared to her brutish and blocky father. |
| 406 | * UnseenNoMore: She finally appears in person in Episode 44. |
| 407 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: The girl who would eventually become the BigBad used to be just as idealistic as Elleelain and believed that fighting would only lead to misery for everyone. It was also via her actions that her father eventually declared a truce with Skyland, soon becoming the best friend of Ellelain. However, after her memories are altered of a birthday gift exchange, she becomes a cold-hearted BadBoss to the Undergu Empire. |
| 408 | * VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:After Skearhead’s apparent sacrifice, she completely snaps and goes ahead with flooding the royal capital with Ranborg.]] |
| 409 | * TheVoice: In the first part of the season, she's only present via her voice and demands that Kabaton get serious about his job. She's still shrouded in shadows once she chastises Minoton and is confident enough Skearhead can defeat the Pretty Cures. |
| 410 | * YouHaveFailedMe: |
| 411 | ** Is annoyed with Kabaton's failures and in Episode 11, threatens to punish him if he keeps failing, which involves getting shocked by lightning. |
| 412 | ** Later in Episode 31 she expresses her intolerance towards Minoton prioritizing building his strength to defeat the Cures rather than just kidnapping Elle like she ordered him to, then electrocutes him and has Skearhead send him back to the Undergu Empire. |
| 413 | ** [[spoiler:In Episode 48, she gets this ''from'' Skearhead when she fails to bring down the Kira Kira Shield and is instead purified.]] |

| 419 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kabaton_profile_toei.png]] |
| 420 | |
| 421 | The first general of the Undergu Empire to appear, being a brutish vulgar ruffian. He directly starts the plot by kidnapping Elle. |
| 422 | ---- |
| 423 | * {{Acrofatic}}: Manages to run past the gate and out-runs several chasing soldiers despite his chubby build. |
| 424 | * AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: He’s a deep lavender instead of the pink you typically see pigs. |
| 425 | * ArbitrarySkepticism: ''Everyone'' who isn't him is a 'side-character' whose only purpose is for him to dominate. When both Mashiro and Tsubasa become Pretty Cure, he can't believe it when they're '''''no longer''''' defenseless targets. |
| 426 | * BigEater: Whenever he's not fighting, he's eating. Whenever he's not eating or fighting, he's thinking of food. |
| 427 | * TheCameo: He shows up at the start of Episode 34 where it's revealed that not only are he and Battamonda neighbors in the same run-down apartment, he's also working on the night shift. |
| 428 | * CastFromCalories: He can use his calories to super charge his power to create ranborgs. Doing so will leave him gaunt. |
| 429 | * CombatPragmatist: While Sora is fighting the Ranborg, he inks her eyes. He also uses other underhanded tactics to kidnap Ellee, including swapping her for a pig, distracting a ton of guards, and farting to catch Sora off guard. He continues these during his battles, including some other dirty tactics such as disguising as a small pig to trap Sora, using Ageha as a human shield, and as a final means for desperation, using a shadow hand as a last ditch attempt to grab Ellee after being bested in his 1-on-1 battle against Cure Sky. |
| 430 | * DesperationAttack: As a last ditch attempt to save his skin after losing his 1-on-1 battle against Cure Sky, he summons a shadow hand to grab Elle. |
| 431 | * ADogNamedCat: "Kaba" means hippo, but he's a pig. |
| 432 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: Played with but after leaving the Undergu Empire, he runs a baked Sweet Potato cart which has a successful business. |
| 433 | * EntitledBastard: Constantly belittles ''everyone'' and makes lofty claims which only benefit him. |
| 434 | * {{Fartillery}}: To distract Sora after she initially saves Elle, he does a very stinky fart as a means to distract her long enough to steal her. |
| 435 | * FatBastard: He's a fat villain who can resort to dirty tactics and insults. [[KickTheDog He takes Sora's notebook and tears it apart just to spite her.]] |
| 436 | * {{Gasshole}}: He farts a lot, which he can use to stun enemies. |
| 437 | * GoofyBuckteeth: He has buckteeth, and he's a LaughablyEvil antagonist, especially with his {{Gasshole}} tendencies. |
| 438 | * HeelFaceTurn: Quits working for the Underg Empire after his final defeat in Episode 12, eventually helping Tsubasa and Ageha when the Kira Kira Shield gets a hole punched in it. |
| 439 | * MasterOfDisguise: Disguises himself as various things in order to get close to his targets. |
| 440 | * MoralMyopia: Calls out the Pretty Cures for anything they do to stop him... despite the fact he commits even worse atrocities constantly. |
| 441 | * PigMan: He's an anthropomorphic pig and behaves like one too (greedy, constantly eating). |
| 442 | * ShoutOut: His design looks like it's a nod to Bebop from Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles, except purple, a lot more rotund, and without shades. |
| 443 | * SinisterSwine: He's a greedy pig and one of the main antagonists. He kidnaps Ellee in his debut. |
| 444 | * StarterVillain: The conflict starts with him attacking the Sky Kingdom and kidnapping Ellee. Also, he's the only villain seen and fought for the first stretch of the season. |
| 445 | * StoutStrength: He's a big guy and in his debut episode he's capable of [[FoeTossingCharge charging though a whole squad of about 10 knights without stopping.]] |
| 446 | * UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Apparently a giant purple pig running around the city isn't seen as weird by other passerbys and everyone seems to go about their day. When he tries to go through various occupations, nobody seems really phased by him either. |
| 447 | * VillainsOutShopping: Kabaton's not beyond going out to eat at food stalls and complain about his troubles like he's a abused salaryman instead of an abused supervillain. |

| 453 | [[caption-width-right:300:[[labelnote:Click here to see him as Monda]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/monda_profile_toei.png]][[/labelnote]] |
| 454 | |
| 455 | The second general to appear. He's very egotistical and lazy, preferring to have his Ranborgs fight for him. |
| 456 | ---- |
| 457 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Despite appearing more human than Kabaton, his skin is colored a light purple. |
| 458 | * AnimalMotifs: Though he doesn’t look like one, he's themed around grasshoppers. ("Batta" is Japanese for grasshopper, as ''Franchise/KamenRider'' fans may already know.) His strands of hair resemble a locust's antennae, even flipping up when he's angry. |
| 459 | * ArchEnemy: Out of all the Cures, he specifically views Ageha and Sora as these. For the former, it's him initially believing her to be too weak to protect Elle, he pivots to considering her his biggest threat once she becomes Cure Butterfly. For the latter, he's felt humiliated by her at his first big defeat, which made him use Shalala's body as a means for revenge. |
| 460 | ** Upon his return as Monda, his primary target is Mashiro. As he constantly tries and falls to destroy her confidence at various occasions, her kindness and empathy end up rubbing off on him instead leading to his HeelFaceTurn. |
| 461 | * BeneathTheMask: Initially comes off as confident and laid-back--then the Cures defeat his first Ranborg, and he furiously sputters in disbelief before regaining his composure. |
| 462 | * TheBully: His most defining trait. Battamonda loves to taunt his enemies and, despite claiming he doesn't "deal with weaklings", he clearly enjoys watching his Ranborgs attack people who can't fight back, even ''children''. And when someone not only ''can'' fight back but demonstrates both the ability and willingness to seriously mess him up (read: Cure Sky and Cure Butterfly), Battamonda retreats in a panic. |
| 463 | * TheBusCameBack: Returns in episode 34 to try and trick Mashiro into giving up her passion for art under the guise of art student Monda... and is unwittingly driven bonkers by her and her friends. The ending somewhat implies that Mashiro's empathy began to get to him... if only a little. |
| 464 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Battamon-mon", which he always uses as a farewell just before disappearing. |
| 465 | * EntitledBastard: Big time. His motivation against Sora was simply because she scared him shitless right after he had both cursed Elle's parents and almost got away with kidnapping Elle. |
| 466 | * EvilSoundsRaspy: When he gets angry, his voice drops several octaves. |
| 467 | * ExactWords: He personally states that he doesn't deal with weaklings--he has his Ranborgs do the dirty work instead. |
| 468 | * ExpressiveHair: When angered or surprised, his dark green strands of hair flip up to resemble an insect's antennae. |
| 469 | * FacialMarkings: Battamonda's eyes have what looks like permanent dark blue eyeshadow, which wraps around his right eye to look like he's shedding a tear. Whatever other symbolism that marking might have, it does fit his "false sympathy" way of interacting with potential victims. |
| 470 | * GratuitousEnglish: Like Narcistoru in the [[Anime/DeliciousPartyPrettyCure season before]], when he summons a Ranborg, his catchphrase is "Come on!". Coincidental that they were also both the second villains in rotation. |
| 471 | * HateSink: In his debut, he was already a pretty dislikable character by putting the king and Queen of Skyland into a coma and almost kidnapping Elle; him turning Captain Shalala into a Ranborg and forcing Sora to make a SadisticChoice out of spite was the worst act performed in the series up to that point. However, this lessens after he returns, in large part because Skearhead has outclassed him at every angle. |
| 472 | * HeelFaceTurn: It takes a long time and a ''lot'' of suffering, but he eventually starts working on becoming a better person in earnest, thanks to Mashiro's empathy and goodwill rubbing off him during his attempts to get revenge on her. |
| 473 | * ItsPersonal: Makes it clear in episode 16 that his priorities have shifted from capturing Elle to defeating the Precures. |
| 474 | * KnightOfCerebus: |
| 475 | ** Unlike Kabaton, who didn’t accomplish anything (and eventually got over himself), Battamonda manages to cross the line in his second appearance. To note, he organizes a mass Ranborg assault, combines their energy into a massive Ranborg bomb (which is able to initially NoSell the usual Updraft Shining finisher), has said Ranborg take out Shalala and places a dark curse on Elle's parents. |
| 476 | ** In Episode 22, he reveals that he flooded Shalala's body with Undergu Energy, sealing her into a Ranborg, to supposedly save her life... then deploys said Ranborg and gleefully tells the Precure that they ''cannot'' defeat it without killing Shalala, forcing the Precure to make a SadisticChoice. |
| 477 | ** This is subverted as of Episode 34, as we see [[VillainDecay he's become the shell of his former threatening shelf]], promptly handing this status to Skearhead and his boss, Empress Undergu. |
| 478 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: |
| 479 | ** [[spoiler:His claim that he was [[CruelMercy "saving"]] Shalala by turning her into a Ranborg was bullshit, as he fully intended for her to die one way or another... but, ironically, this kept her alive long enough for the Cures to rescue her for real. Had Battamonda not done this, Shalala would have died of her wounds long before anyone thought to search the forest.]] |
| 480 | ** On a more humorous note, when he tries to discourage Mashiro's dream of being a picture book illustrator he says that artists have to be prepared to accept criticism... which instead of making her give up only serves to enlighten her and reinforce her dream. It's even heavily implied that her words might have started to make him go soft. |
| 481 | * NotMeThisTime: Episode 39 has the Sorashido residents angrily accuse him of summoning the Kyoborg and ruining the Halloween festivities, but even though he tries to explain that it's not him, the civilians have no time to hear him out and chase him away. Only the audience knows that the Kyoborg was actually summoned by Skearhead. |
| 482 | * SoreLoser: One of his prominent character traits is acting all cool with a high-and-mighty attitude, but throwing a temper tantrum the moment he loses, only to immediately do a VerbalBackspace when he realizes others are around to see him losing his cool. |
| 483 | * TokenEvilTeammate: While all the Undergu members are evil, he was by far the most despicable of the group at the point he first appeared and during his arc as the central villain. However, he soon loses this status both due to Skearhead proving even worse than he is and [[spoiler:him finding redemption after undergoing VillainDecay]]. |
| 484 | * VilerNewVillain: In contrast to Kabaton, who is far more bumbling and has likable moments, Battamonda is a conniving snake who managed to threaten the Sky Kingdom with what's essentially a massive bomb, curse the king and queen into a sleep when they refused to surrender Elle, and even used Shalala's body as a host for a Ranborg, knowing there will be a SadisticChoice involved. |
| 485 | * VillainDecay: Battamonda was a DirtyCoward that ''could'' have the occasional funny moment, but he was mostly much more ruthless and cunning during his stint as the second general, and even managed to briefly [[spoiler:[[HeroicBSOD drive Sora into despair]] by trapping her idol Captain Shalala in a Ranborg and infusing her with Undergu Energy]]. The next time we see him, however, we see he's become less scary and more silly and prone to breaking down than his previous appearances, with his attempts to target Mashiro in particular epically backfiring. |
| 486 | * VillainousBreakdown: In Episode 23, his smugness dissolves into shock, rage and, eventually, fear when [[spoiler: Sora returns as Cure Sky, purifies his Ranborg ''and'' successfully rescues Captain Shalala, then as he attempts to retreat is stopped by Cure Prism giving him a DeathGlare]]. When Sora affirms that she and her friends will always get back up no matter how many times he'll attempt to defeat them, Battamonda has no choice but to admit defeat. |
| 487 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Despite him being a very evil character, he disappears from the plot after his final episode, with no mention made of what happened to him. The most we get is him giving up and promising never to attack the Precure again. Averted as we later see him again in Episode 34. |

| 492 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minoton.png]] |
| 493 | |
| 494 | The third general to fight the Cures. Unlike the other two generals, he prefers to fight with honour rather than belittle his opponents or resort to underhanded methods, and views the Cures as {{Worthy Opponent}}s. |
| 495 | |
| 496 | ---- |
| 497 | * BerserkButton: Cure Butterfly notes that mentioning Kabaton is this to him due to their differing lifestyles, referring to Kabaton's name as a 'taboo word'. As of episode 48, however, it seems that the two have reconciled, as they fight alongside each other to defend Skyland's capital. |
| 498 | * CodeOfHonour: Unlike Kabaton and Battamonda, he prefers to fight fair with the Cures and doesn't resort to dirty tricks to get in the way. |
| 499 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: His debut has him taking 10,000 swings with a massive tree, declaring himself satisfied with his warm-up, and claiming the Cures are [[WorthyOpponent worthy opponents to fight]], showing he's very proud of his strength. His battle also establishes that he's a NobleDemon too--even to the point where he outright intervenes by defending Ellee from his own Ranborg. |
| 500 | * {{Foil}}: His debut episode establishes this to Kabaton; both are animalistic generals from the Undurgu Empire whose names end with "-ton", and both get punished on-screen by Empress Undurg for insubordination, and these are their only similarities; Kabaton is a CombatPragmatist who utilizes {{Fartillery}} to distract his opponents while Minoton carries a CodeOfHonour, preferring to fight his opponents head on and fairly. They are both empowered with Undergu energy, but while Kabaton does it to himself to fight against Cure Sky one-on-one, Minoton is forcefully empowered by Skearhead into a mindless Ranborg. |
| 501 | * NobleDemon: He prefers to fight as fairly as he can, similar to [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar Kintolesky]]. |
| 502 | * OurMinotaursAreDifferent: His name is derived from the minotaur and he has the head of a demonic bull atop a decently humanoid body. He interestingly subverts BrutishBulls, as despite his villainy he's a major NobleDemon. |
| 503 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Out of all the Undergu Empire members, he is the only one willing to protect innocent civilians from his fights by letting them get to safety and even tries to keep Elle out of harm's way. When it comes to facing the Cures, he prefers to make it a fair fight thanks to his code of honor (unlike the other generals who are way more relentless). |
| 504 | * UnusuallyUninterestingSight: When he's shown working out at a gym, other people there are impressed by his skill and point out he's there every day, with only a few of them questioning if he's a human or not. |
| 505 | * VictimOfTheWeek: He's the second character after Captain Shalala to have been transformed into a Ranborg. |
| 506 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: After only six attempts to beat the Cures, he is used as Skearhead's first Ranborg after it's decided that he's wasting too much time trying to get stronger. Though he’s purified, he remains captured until the next episode, after which he and the Cures peacefully part ways; they don't meet again until episode 48. |
| 507 | * WouldntHurtAChild: To the surprise of the Cures, he actually ''defended'' Ellee from his own Ranborg when it decided to target her while comforting a rabbit. He later explains that he'd rather defeat the Cures in a fair fight before taking the princess, as per his CodeOfHonour. |

| 513 | |
| 514 | Empress Undergu's right-hand man, and the strongest and most evil of her generals. Following the failures of the other three to capture Elle, he's sent out to complete the task. But there’s more to him than meets the eye… |
| 515 | ---- |
| 516 | * AnimalMotifs: Subverted. Skearhead is not animal-themed like the other three generals--he’s a full blown demon, highlighting how different and dangerous he is compared to everyone else. [[spoiler:Though once his Darkhead form is destroyed, he transforms into a giant serpent--a ''snake in the grass'', if you will.]] |
| 517 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: [[spoiler:His true form is Darkhead, the incarnation of Undergu Energy itself.]] |
| 518 | %%* ArchEnemy: To Cure Sky and the Hirogaru Sky Cures as a whole. |
| 519 | * BaldOfEvil: He has no hair on his head, and the most evil of her generals. |
| 520 | * BigBad: [[spoiler:Despite being initially introduced as Empress Undergu's right-hand man, he's ultimately revealed to be the true instigator of the second Skyland-Undergu conflict, cementing himself as the overall main villain by default.]] |
| 521 | * BondCreature: [[spoiler:His main motive is to find a suitable enough vessel for himself and the Undergu Energy to inhabit, eventually settling on Cure Sky upon witnessing her power after flooding her with it. It fails when she manages to resist his control and expels him from her body with help from Cure Prism.]] [[spoiler:In the final episode, he tries to convince Empress Undergu to let him possess her, temporarily infecting her with the energy. But having been exposed to the Precure’s light and learning that he murdered her father and manipulated her, she's more then happy to reject him.]] |
| 522 | * CastingAShadow: He uses the darkness to shield himself, launch projectiles, teleport, and more. |
| 523 | * CelestialBody: [[spoiler:As Darkhead, his skin is mostly purple with a black hole at the center, speckled here and there with points of light that look like stars. Once he transforms into Daijarg, his body is black and covered in tiny blue and pink lights, resembling distant stars in deep space.]] |
| 524 | * TheChessmaster: While supposedly supporting the Empress, he's actually been manipulating both her and her father to cause them to attack Skyland without any real provocation, through manipulating their memories and world view, purely to make the Undergu Empire stronger. |
| 525 | * ClippedWingAngel: [[spoiler:After being failing to turn both Empress Undergu and Cure Sky into his vessel, he transforms into a giant snake named Daijorg out of desperation, but is quickly defeated through the Pretty Cures' two {{combination attack}}s.]] |
| 526 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: |
| 527 | ** To Illkubo from ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure''. Both are cloaked, bald beings who serve as a BigBad's right hand man, but that’s where the similarities stop. |
| 528 | *** Illkubo was loyal to the Dark King, and in the dub, his final words were him complaining about this as he was being killed. Skearhead is not loyal to the Empress and has, in fact, been manipulating the Underg Empire the entire time. |
| 529 | *** Illkubo detested any form of good and personally took Kiriya back to the Dusk Zone to be punished after he refused to keep fighting. Skearhead detests anything but his might makes right mentality and turns Minoton into a Lanborg after he wastes too much time. |
| 530 | *** Illkubo was directly killed by the Dark King after he felt that he might destroy the Prism Stones. [[spoiler:Skearhead attacks the Empress and drags her back to the Underg Empire after faking his death.]] |
| 531 | *** Illkubo, while serving as the penultimate opponent for the Cures, was not the final opponent before the first battle with the Dark King (and even then, the Seeds of Darkness and Shittenou appeared after his death). [[spoiler:Skearhead is the exact opposite of this, being the final opponent after the Empress is defeated.]] |
| 532 | *** When Illkubo assumes a OneWingedAngel form, he turns into a monstrous giant that is a far cry from how he looked previously. [[spoiler:By contrast, Skearhead’s final form merely changes his skin to be purple, and his true form after that is animalistic.]] |
| 533 | ** He is also considered this to Goyan from ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'', Butler from ''Anime/TropicalRougePrettyCure'' and Preme from ''Pretty Cure All Stars F''. In Goyan and Butler's case they are the right-handed men for their supposed ruler, whereas in Preme's case they are both Social Darwinists who have a "might makes right" mentality. All four of them are revealed in the final arc that they are the true main antagonist of their season and are really running the show in the first place. But he's different from them for reasons: |
| 534 | *** For the trio, Goyan and Butler never partake in battles until very late in the story and Preme (who is actually the cosmic entity [[spoiler:Supreme]]) disguises as a human before revealing that she is TheMole to the Sky Team, eventually revealing herself as the villain during the middle of the movie. On the other hand, Skearhead is the fourth enemy that the Cures had to face with his ability to summon Kyoborg. This further expands into the FinalBoss role after the Empress was defeated in the last episodes. |
| 535 | *** For Goyan, he creates Akudaikan for his supposed role before absorbing it later on, while Skearhead gave FakeMemories to the Empress for his false love. While Goyan absorbs his minions later in the story, Skearhead kills the Emperor in the past and made Empress believe that Cure Noble was the culprit, and almost kills Battamonda had Mashiro didn't intervene on time. In terms of personality, Goyan is mischievous but becomes stoic after his final form, while Skearhead is always emotionless except when [[spoiler: he was controlling Cure Sky with his Undergu energy, he becames elated maniac]]. While Goyan was ultimately defeated in the final episode, Skearhead's final form Daijarg was purified and goes off to the parts unknown. |
| 536 | *** For Butler, they were calm and has a poker face not shown to everyone until late in the series. But while Butler is quite strict to his minions and ask them to collect the motivation energy, Skearhead treats his minions as nothing but tools for his own selfish ideal with almost no interaction outside of Empress, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness even willing to eliminate those who he deemed unworthy for his belief]]. How they're treated in the end was different: Butler survived in catatonic state while Daijarg was purified by the Cures. |
| 537 | *** For Preme, they are both cold-hearted Social Darwinists who believe that strength makes everything right and bent on discarding the weak and are the NoNonsenseNemesis to the Cures, who take [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith another form to hide their true nature as a supreme entity]], but he is different to her in many ways. Preme is the evil half of the [[spoiler:cosmic entity Supreme]] who takes form of a human as a Cure, while Skearhead is the embodiment of the Undergu Energy whose real form is [[spoiler:a giant serpent.]] Preme's plan involves a CosmicRetcon, [[spoiler:where she wants to erase the Cures from existence and create a new universe in that she is the absolute and only Cure to exist, making her the strongest entity]]; while Skearhead's real goal is the complete opposite to Preme, who plans to [[spoiler:find a vessel suitable enough for the Undergu Energy to be within its own host.]] While Preme ultimately redeems herself in the end after being defeated, Skearhead [[spoiler:proves to be irredeemable after his death... Until he is revived again in his true form.]] |
| 538 | * TheCorruptor: [[spoiler:His ideal host is someone with the potential to become a hero, who then corrupts into a FallenHero either through manipulation (Empress Undergu) or through straight up DemonicPossession (Cure Sky).]] |
| 539 | * DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:His real goal and the reason why he manipulated the Undergu Empire to value strength above all; He wants to find an ideal host for him to possess. He groomed the Empress to serve as this, but when she failed, he turned his focus onto Sky, actually managing to temporarily corrupt and possess her until she breaks free. Finally, he tries to use the Empress again, but having been exposed to the Precure’s power and finally wised up to his manipulations, she rejects him]]. |
| 540 | * DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Is apparently killed in Episode 47 when he turns himself into a Undergu Energy bomb, provoking the Empress into destroying Skyland while attempting to dispose of both Cure Sky and Cure Majesty. The synopsis for Episode 48 reveals that he is somehow still alive after that, with the fact he '''''is''''' the Undergu Energy given a humanoid form, means he's functionally invincible.]] |
| 541 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Skearhead's [[spoiler:true nature as the real BigBad]] is hinted in Episode 45 where he suddenly protects Empress Undergu when she's almost killed by Majestic Halation and ''destroys it'', rather than countering it with Undergu Energy as a way to protect her. [[spoiler:Giving his true nature later in the series and how he actually saw his student, it's convinced that he doesn't do it out of actual love, but because he didn't want his potential vessel for him to possess to die just yet.]] |
| 542 | * AFormYouAreComfortableWith: [[spoiler: His form as Skearhead was purely a way to get close to the rulers of what became the Undergu Empire, actually being the embodiment of the Undergu Energy itself.]] |
| 543 | * HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: Uses this concept concerning the Undergu Empire and Skyland, that, in ''any'' conflict, no matter what, the Undergu Empire '''''will''''' end up on top, or he'll find some way to ensure it happens, even faking his own death to cause the Empress to overload the Kira Kira Shield so the royal capital is destroyed. |
| 544 | * HighClassGlass: He's always wearing a monocle, fitting for an EvilChancellor. |
| 545 | * HornedHumanoid: He has two small horns, resembling some kind of demon. [[spoiler:As Darkhead, his horns are longer, and he gains a third one in the center of his forehead. His final form, Daijarg, keeps the horns but [[ScaledUp isn't humanoid anymore]].]] |
| 546 | * InTheHood: He is introduced this way. |
| 547 | * TheIrredeemableException: [[spoiler:It’s fitting that the only reason the Undergu Empire has fought against Skyland for centuries is the one with no redeeming qualities.]] |
| 548 | * ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler:For all of his claims that he cares about the Undergu Empire and it’s rulers, he ends up freely admitting that was all a lie in the finale, as he’s more then willing to backstab and manipulate them into continuing a war just so HE could finally get his ideal vessel]]. |
| 549 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Meets his end in the final episode.]] |
| 550 | * KnightOfCerebus: Puts ''every'' other member of the Undergu Empire to shame, acting as the Empress's mouth piece and attempting to '''''kill''''' the Cures in his first attack on them in the present day, and telling the Empress 300 years earlier that the Empire was built on the concept of the mighty trampling the weak, and that they need to eliminate Skyland '''''now''''' before they become a serious threat. And then there's what he turns out to be in the endgame... |
| 551 | * LyingByOmission: He's fond of using this method of talking, telling Cure Sky everything ''except'' what she wanted to know. Even his claims that everything in the Undergu Empire is born of Undergu Energy seem to be half-truths, considering [[spoiler: he's the only thing ''confirmed'' to be outright born from it, instead of being infused with it.]] |
| 552 | * TheManBehindTheMan: It turns out that ''he'' is the true villain, having not only manipulated the Emperor back when the war was still ongoing, but also [[spoiler:having implemented false memories into the Empress to trick her into reigniting the war.]] |
| 553 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 554 | ** "Skearhead" (スキアヘッド ''sukiaheddo'') comes from "skinhead" (スキンヘッド ''sukinheddo'') and the Greek word σκιά (''skiá''), meaning "shadow", which references [[CastingAShadow his powers]]. [[spoiler:In Kaliarda, an old-fashioned Greek gay slang, ''skiá'' can also mean "double life", hinting that he's hiding his true identity.]] |
| 555 | ** [[spoiler:His true form, Daijarg, is named after the word "daija", meaning "giant serpent”. That’s exactly what the form itself is.]] |
| 556 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: And how. His first appearance featured him dispatching Minoton for insubordination (he prioritized getting stronger) and then he proceeded to send the Cures to a PocketDimension and send Elle to the Undurg Empire right under their noses. |
| 557 | * NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:His demeanor turns completely unhinged after striking Cure Sky with a ball of Undergu Energy, possessing her and sadistically ordering her to strike down Cure Prism.]] |
| 558 | * PowerParasite: [[spoiler:Since he can't bring out the full potential of Undergu Energy by himself, he needs to possess someone to fully make use of it. Even when he uses all the energy he has to turn into Daijarg, he still focuses on finding a host to possess.]] |
| 559 | * ScaledUp: [[spoiler:His true form, Daijarg, is a giant snake made out of all his Underg Energy.]] |
| 560 | * SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: |
| 561 | ** Is the cynic in this situation, competing against the Cure's idealistic stance, feeling that there's no way to rise above mediocrity outside of harsh and punishing treatment, which he is happy to deal out until they [[KneelBeforeZod learn their place]] and that they exist to serve people like him and his Empress. Nothing more. |
| 562 | ** Notably, 300 years earlier, he was the cynic to the idealistic and hopefully ''Empress'', who believed that the Undergu Empire could settle down and have peaceful relations with Skyland, something he told her was impossible. |
| 563 | * UsefulNotes/{{Skinheads}}: His name is partially derived from the word "skinhead", and he has some fascistic attitudes like [[TheSocialDarwinist prizing strength to crush the weak]] and fomenting war. |
| 564 | * TheSocialDarwinist: Seems to be the one who helped guide both the Emperor and Empress down this path since joining the Undergu Empire over 300 years ago. [[spoiler:Part of this is because he's been looking for a suitable enough vessel for himself and the Undergu Energy to inhabit, later settling on Cure Sky upon witnessing her power after absorbing it.]] |
| 565 | * TheStoic: Unlike the other Undergu members, he barely shows any emotion. [[spoiler:At least [[NotSoStoic until he shows his true colors]] in Episode 49 during the final battle.]] |
| 566 | * TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Attempts to kill Sky and Majesty at the cost of his life. He fails, and seemingly dies without accomplishing anything- but later it turns out that was a clone.]] |
| 567 | * ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler:His reaction to Cure Sky resisting his control with help from Cure Prism, then purging him and the Undergu Energy from her body.]] |
| 568 | * TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[spoiler:He proves to be even more vile than Battamonda by literally stabbing Empress Undergu InTheBack.]] |
| 569 | * VilerNewVillain: After Minoton being a NobleDemon made him more sympathetic than Battamonda, and a nice refreshing break from his multiple evil acts, Skearhead proves that he’s even more cruel than Battamonda could ever hope to be. |
| 570 | * VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Devolves from sadistically cackling over succeeding in finding a vessel, to being utterly shocked over Sky breaking free with Mashiro's help. This becomes the straw that broke the camel's back as he angrily [[OneWingedAngel turns himself in a giant cosmic snake]] and barges his way to Earth, storming about in a frantic, insane rage for a new host.]] |
| 571 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:The last we see of him is him flying away after the Cures purify him, with no indication of what became of him next. Did he die? Was he being sent to an afterlife? We will never know for sure, but he’s as good as gone.]] |
| 572 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: [[spoiler:After becoming the serpent Daijarg, he loses whatever knowledge he may have had and spends the final battle being nothing but a mindless beast until his death, with the only thing remaining is his desire to find a host to possess.]] |
| 573 | * XanatosSpeedChess: Is fond of doing these strategies, changing his strategy mid-battle, with even briefly ''killing himself'' being considered a acceptable sacrifice if it will lead to his plan's success. |
| 574 | * YellowEyesOfSneakiness: He has yellow eyes, and is the master manipulator behind the events of the entire story. |
| 575 | * YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:Inflicted this on Emperor Undergu for accepting peace with Skyland and later his daughter when she fails to finish off the Cures.]] |

| 578 | [[folder:Emperor Undergu]] |
| 579 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{Taketora}} (JP) [[labelnote: Foreign [=VAs=]]] Meng Qingfu (TW Mandarin) [[/labelnote]] |
| 580 | [[quoteright:589:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emperor_undergu_profile_toei.png]] |
| 581 | The former Emperor of the Undergu Empire and father to Empress Undergu. |
| 582 | |
| 583 | ---- |
| 584 | * BadPowersBadPeople: Discussed; When his daughter is injured in his fight against Cure Noble, the latter asks if he can use Undergu Energy to close the wound to which he replies that it cannot be used like that. However, she states that with his current mindset, he should be able to do it with her being proven right. |
| 585 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He is a villainous emperor who has no qualm using underhanded tactics, but when his daughter was caught in a crossfire, he agreed to make peace with Sky Land to prioritize her healing. |
| 586 | * GreaterScopeVillain: {{Subverted}}. He was the Undergu Empire's ruler before his daughter but it would turn out he was manipulated into fighting to begin with by [[spoiler:Skearhead]] and desired peace as much as his enemies did deep down, with him even trying to put an end to the fighting when his daughter was hurt before [[spoiler:Skearhead assassinated him and framed Elleelain by warping Empress Undergu's memories]]. |
| 587 | * HeelFaceTurn: Performed one 300 years ago when his daughter was badly injured during the final battle of the original conflict between the Undergu Empire and Skyland, starting on the road to becoming a benevolent ruler who fosters a friendship between his daughter and Cure Noble, until [[spoiler:he's killed by Skearhead and his daughter made to believe that Cure Noble was responsible.]] |
| 588 | * PosthumousCharacter: He's dead by the time the series started. But due to the Chronclun, which contains the transcribed memories of Cure Noble, Sora and Mashiro still managed to meet him and challenge his views. |
| 589 | * PuppetKing: Until his heel-face turn, he was practically one of [[spoiler:'''''Skearhead's''''']] generals, attacking territories belonging to the people of Skyland with impunity while Skearhead manipulated his daughter. Worse, once he tried to stand down peacefully, [[spoiler:Skearhead murdered him and warped his daughter's memories, incriminating Elleelain to keep the war going]]. |
| 590 | * TheSocialDarwinist: Similar to his daughter 300 years later, he very much believes in the mindset that Might Makes Right, and he's the strongest there is. |

| 593 | [[folder:Ranborgs]] |
| 594 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Kouichi Souma (JP) [[labelnote: Foreign [=VAs=]]] Meng Qingfu (TW Mandarin) [[/labelnote]] |
| 595 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ranborgs.png]] |
| 596 | |
| 597 | The monsters summoned by the Undergu Empire. They're formed when an Undergu general uses Undergu Energy on an object with a chant to accompany it. |
| 598 | ---- |
| 599 | * ActionBomb: The massive Ranborg in Episode 15, which would detonate unless Sky Land handed over Princess Elle. It's also capable of defending itself, as it was able to incapacitate Wing and take down Shalala, who seemingly disappears after the battle. |
| 600 | * AnimateInanimateObject: |
| 601 | ** Much like the last season, this season turns inanimate objects into the MonsterOfTheWeek. Most episodes use manmade objects like a train or construction vehicle, while others have used organic items like a stalk of bamboo and a pair of mushrooms. |
| 602 | ** Episode 22 seemingly subverts this, as it shows people can also be made into Ranborgs, with Captain Shalala as the first to be made into one. It's just not done often because Underg Energy is deleterious to humans, making them poor hosts. |
| 603 | * InconsistentSpelling: The Crunchyroll simulcast calls them Ranborgs. |
| 604 | * LastWords: Like previous monsters, they say "I've been purified!" when they lose. |
| 605 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 606 | ** The Ranborgs' name is the result of crossing "ranbou", the Japanese word for "violence", with "cyborg". True to that name, they're robotic in appearance and behavior and violent in nature. |
| 607 | ** The Kyoborgs' name is the same crossing as the Ranborgs', only with "ranbou" being replaced with "kyoubou", which means "ferocious" in Japanese. |
| 608 | * MidSeasonUpgrade: In Skearhead's second outing, he summons a new variety called a Kyoborg. |
| 609 | * MonsterOfTheWeek: Serve as the big brutes the Cures must confront for this season. To summon them, the Undergu generals need to use Undergu Energy on an object. |
