| 22 | |
| 23 | The MagicalGirlWarrior TropeCodifier, champion of justice, Princess and future Queen of the first and second Silver Millennium respectively, and evil's worst nightmare. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Five years after the final battle with Galaxia and Chaos, with no sign of the Crystal Tokyo future coming to pass, Usagi has settled into a happy, mostly normal post-school life. Now twenty-one years old, engaged to and living with her beloved Mamoru, she thinks her Sailor Senshi days are long behind her... until she gets a panicked call from Rei at the Hikawa Shrine, and is reluctantly drawn back into battle once more. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Her AMP Device, Imperium, is a diamond crescent moon, attached to her brooch when she is transformed and acting as an extension to the Moon Stick when activated. It features dual modes, Guardian and Soldier. Guardian Mode is defensive-based, and Soldier Mode is offensive-based. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | ---- |
| 30 | |
| 31 | * ActionGirl: The story takes place five years after the defeat of [[Characters/SailorMoonShadowGalactica Shadow Galactica]] in her home series. Usagi has long since gotten a handle on her Senshi powers and defeating the forces of evil, even five years out of practice and BroughtDownToBadass... as evidenced by her clearing out an army of MonstersOfTheWeek in the battle in front of the Osa-P Jewelry Store. |
| 32 | * BroughtDownToBadass: Joker's time manipulation has reverted her back to her original "Prism Power" form, but as seen above, she's still able to kick ass. |
| 33 | * FlechetteStorm: One of the functions of Imperium, her AMP device, converts her classic Moon Tiara Action attack into a volley of smaller discuses, in a new technique called Moon Tiara Shuriken. |
| 34 | * HappilyMarried: Engaged to Mamoru and living together with him at the start of her story. |
| 35 | * StepfordSmiler: Remembering the multiple deaths of her loved ones ''and'' herself from two conflicting timelines has done a number on her, adding to the PTSD that her many battles inflicted upon her. Usagi being Usagi, however, she keeps on plugging. After all, she's SeenItAll. |
| 36 | * WaveMotionGun: With Imperium, Usagi's new attack is Moon Diamond Absolution, a Nanoha-esque massive energy beam. |

| 46 | |
| 47 | ->''"Everything will be all right, somehow."'' |
| 48 | |
| 49 | The Cardcaptor, personally selected by Clow Reed to become not only his successor but the one who would surpass him. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | Sakura is sixteen years old, attending Seijo High with her best friend Tomoyo and her boyfriend Shaoran. Life since the NOTHING's rampage has been ordinary, apart from the presence of Kero and her Cards. All that changes when two-thirds of the Cards are suddenly altered, and when Tomoyo attacks Shaoran in an uncharacteristic fit of mad jealousy later that night. Joker, the culprit behind both of these strange events, soon makes himself known to her... and after he takes both Tomoyo and Shaoran from her, Sakura is forced to flee the subsequent destruction of her hometown, Tomoeda, along with Kero, Toya, Yukito, and her remaining Cards. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | [[spoiler:Her AMP Device, Arcana, was a pair of [[TrickedOutGloves red fighting gloves]] bearing her wing emblem. Arcana's Immaterial was infused with Sakura's love for her Cards during its construction process, and was designed to take back one of the stolen Cards with every blow she landed on Joker, by reminding them of that love. After fulfilling its function and holding together for Sakura's ''coup de grâce'', Arcana exploded in Joker's face.]] |
| 54 | |
| 55 | ---- |
| 56 | |
| 57 | * BalanceBetweenOrderAndChaos: Joker discovers that Sakura's Seed is neither a Chaos nor a Cosmos Seed, but a perfect balance between both. Thus, Sakura is a living representation of the Morning Lights' mission to bring Chaos and Cosmos back into balance. |
| 58 | * BroughtDownToBadass: She's down roughly a third of her Cards, including most of the aggressive and combat-oriented ones, but with the clever thinking she gained from her trials, she's learned to use her remaining Cards in some very unexpected ways. See HeartIsAnAwesomePower below. |
| 59 | * HeartIsAnAwesomePower: She took out ''[[Characters/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaKyubeyAndTheWitches Octavia von Seckendorff]]'' in one hit via a creative usage of the Sweet Card. |
| 60 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: Sakura's caring nature and empathy for everyone is one of the reasons Joker targeted her personally, in hopes that he could BreakTheCutie. He hasn't succeeded. Yet. |
| 61 | * TookALevelInBadass: She was never much for fighting in her home series, but being tutored by her black-belt karateka brother and ''[[LittleMissBadass Nanoha Takamachi]]'' is giving her an excellent education. |

| 72 | ->''"I don't believe this!"'' |
| 73 | |
| 74 | One half of the original Precure duo, and the appointed leader of all the Precure groups collectively when they gather. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | A month after the end of [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Max Heart]] and the final defeat of the Dark King, Nagisa, Honoka, Hikari, Hikaru, and their fairy partners intend to enjoy the rest of their lives free of conflict. A distortion in time and space spoils their happiness, erasing Hikari, Hikaru, Porun, and Lulun from existence and from the memories of all that knew them. Mepple and Mipple are weakened by the same distortion, changed back to their original forms from the start of the conflict with Dusk Zone. Nagisa and Honoka suspect that the Dark King's evil has returned yet again... only to find that the old mansion remains gone. Two psychotic magical girls from another universe attack them, seeking the Prism Stones, and in the ensuing fight, Honoka is captured by Dead End, leaving Nagisa mode-locked as Cure Black, unwilling to detransform lest Honoka be left defenseless, wherever she is. Nagisa finds herself as the leader of all the remaining Precure teams, trying her best to endure without her beloved partner. |
| 77 | |
| 78 | ---- |
| 79 | |
| 80 | * ActionGirl: One of the original Precure [[ActionGirl Action Girls]], in fact. |
| 81 | * BroughtDownToBadass: Nagisa and Honoka both lost their upgraded forms from Max Heart, but she still has her Precure form's SuperStrength, endurance, and hand-to-hand combat skills. |
| 82 | * DeterminedDefeatist: Even moreso than in her home series. Losing her best friend and sidekick? Stuck in her transformed state? Mepple largely unable to speak? Losing Iona to Dead End? Her ''entire universe'' subjected to a TimeCrash? Nagisa will yell [[{{Catchphrase}} "I don't believe this!"]], grouse and cry about it... and then get right back up and keep fighting. |
| 83 | * GoodOldFisticuffs: Being separated from Honoka means no more Marble Screws for the time being, so Nagisa is forced to rely on her Precure form's SuperStrength, endurance, and hand-to-hand combat skills. [[spoiler:Her AMP Device, Yang, helps mitigate this.]] |
| 84 | * IWillFindYou: Her primary motivation is to get Honoka back, no matter the cost. |
| 85 | * ModeLock: Since Honoka was abducted by Dead End while still transformed, Nagisa can't change back into civilian form for fear of leaving Honoka depowered and at Dead End's mercy. The effect of being transformed so long is extremely taxing on both her and Mepple. |

| 94 | |
| 95 | ->''"Maximum power! Starlight Breaker!"'' |
| 96 | |
| 97 | The TSAB's Ace of Aces, feared by her foes as the White Devil, one of the most powerful, brilliant, and unstoppable mages of her era. |
| 98 | |
| 99 | Several years after the end of the Book of Darkness Incident, Nanoha was greivously wounded on what was supposed to be a routine TSAB mission by a swarm of deadly Type-IV Gadget Drones. Compounded by the accumulated stress of overtaxing her body over extended periods, she was confined to a hospital for almost a year, enduring grueling surgeries, with the TSAB's medics telling her that she would be lucky to even walk again. Her story begins after a period of prolonged rehabilitation, including being limited to a mobility chair. She is no longer the invincible powerhouse she was before, but Nanoha is determined to not only walk but fly again, dreaming of one day resuming her duties. Her first attempt to spar with Fate is interrupted by an attack from two of the Wolkenritter, their trusted allies... and the culprit is Viluy, a woman from another universe, wielding nanotechnology that allows her to easily best Fate in combat and tear out one of her eyes. Out of options, Nanoha uses a Starlight Breaker ''sans'' safety limiters to incinerate Viluy and escape with the wounded Fate, but that's only the beginning of their struggles. |
| 100 | |
| 101 | ---- |
| 102 | |
| 103 | * HandicappedBadass: Nanoha's story picks up in the aftermath of the "Gadget Drone Incident" from her home series. At the start of her universe's invasion, she's on the cusp of finishing her rehab with a mobility chair, and her mana output is severely stunted. Nevertheless, as Moebius 90, Hadenya, and [[spoiler:''Walpurgisnacht'']] would attest, she's still capable of holding her own when it counts. |
| 104 | * LittleMissBadass: Thirteen years old as of this story, making her the youngest of the Big Five. And as anyone who knows her home series can tell you, ''definitely'' badass. |
| 105 | * RedRightHand: Her hands have severe burns from firing a [[WaveMotionGun Starlight Breaker]] ''sans'' safety limiters, and are healing slowly. |
| 106 | * TheseHandsHaveKilled: She ''vaporized'' Viluy after the latter took Fate's eye. The fact that Viluy came back through cloning hasn't lessened her guilt over using lethal force, even if it was an emergency. |

| 115 | |
| 116 | ->''"If someone says it's wrong to hope, I will tell them that they're wrong every time. I could tell them that countless times."'' |
| 117 | |
| 118 | The meek, unassuming Puella Magi archer who ascended to goddesshood as the Law of Cycles through a complex series of circumstances, and thereby became the concept of hope itself. |
| 119 | |
| 120 | Madoka has wonderful friends, a loving family, and an enjoyable school life, everything she could ever want. Little does she know that her peaceful world is a GildedCage created for her by Homura Akemi, who has stolen her powers and rewritten her memories. The illusion comes crashing down with the arrival of Joker, who exploits Homura's human weaknesses to torment them both and forces them to flee their universe. Over Homura's objections, Madoka regains her powers as a Puella Magi, but she remains unaware of her best friend's betrayal, and she can't be shielded from the truth forever... |
| 121 | |
| 122 | Her AMP Device, Solace, is a red ribbon tied around her wrist, which can extend on command. [[spoiler:Its powers are based on the concept of empathy; it allows Madoka to "connect" to other people, and is able to heal wounds and identify both conventional and supernatural maladies. It also allows Madoka to [[JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind "full dive" into a person's mind]] when necessary, at a substantial risk to both that person and Madoka herself.]] |
| 123 | |
| 124 | ---- |
| 125 | |
| 126 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: This is Post-[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion Rebellion]], it's a given. Horribly [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] after "the entity" reveals Homura's betrayal to the multiverse. |
| 127 | * TheEmpath: [[spoiler:Her AMP's functions revolve around empathy. In addition to empathic abilities, it also grants her the ability to "full dive" into a person's mind if neccesary.]] Deconstructed: despite possessing empathic abilities, she seems remarkably unable to grasp why Homura acts the why she does. |

| 140 | |
| 141 | Due to the merging of the two primary Sailor Moon timelines (i.e., the 90s anime continuity and the manga/Crystal/Eternal/Cosmos continuity), two very different versions of Rei Hino appeared in the same reality: one cool, elegant, and serious, and the other hotheaded and {{Tsundere}}. Both Reis were "real", and both had the powers of Sailor Mars. When the two joined hands after Rei 1 was mortally wounded, a time distortion joined them back together as "Fusion" Rei, who has elements of both personalities and a radically altered appearance. Because of this fusion's unstable nature, Rei must remain composed and focused to keep herself together. |
| 142 | |
| 143 | ---- |
| 144 | |
| 145 | * {{Doppelmerger}}: The 90s anime and manga/Crystal versions of Rei merged into one when Rei 1 (i.e., 90s) was mortally wounded and touched hands with Rei 2 (i.e., manga). This fusion is unstable, causing Rei to "waver" at times and changing her appearance. |
| 146 | * LockedIntoStrangeness: In civilian form, Rei has flaming red eyes and glowing, fiery streaks in her hair, which smoke and give off embers on occasion. As Sailor Mars, the streaks burst into HotWings when she uses her abilities. |

She manages to inflict a permanent X-shaped scar on Joker himself with her Holy Blade... but Joker then [[LostVoicePlot steals her voice from her]] in an act of petty revenge. Undaunted, Minako still gives her all as a member of the Morning Lights, using other methods to communicate. |

| 258 | Erika was just as affected by leaving Kibougahana and her loved ones behind as Tsubomi was. However, HotBlooded as she is, her method of doing something about it was very different. She was one of the most enthusiastic supporters of Alph and Neptune's secret rescue mission plan, codenamed "Operation Batman", and joined those two and six others in attempting to infiltrate Dead End's palace. |
| 259 | |
| 260 | The mission went disastrously wrong and almost resulted in Joker's certain victory... but poor Erika paid more of a price than most. While he had her at his mercy, Joker smashed her left kneecap with a sledgehammer, and complications from the injury left the ''Arthra's'' medical staff with no choice but to amputate it above the knee once she was recovered. |

| 281 | The timid and sensitive {{Otaku}} and manga artist of the Smile Precure. |
| 282 | |
| 283 | Of all the Precure that exist, Joker's greatest ire is directed toward the Smile Cures, the team that defeated him and his master. His assault on the Smile Cures was particularly brutal, resulting in the death of Candy and four of the five Cures corrupted into a new group of Bad End Precure. Yayoi alone was rescued and taken to the Lighthouse, where it appeared she would be lost to despair. Thanks to Yui's intervention, though, Yayoi got much-needed emotional support from a certain ''other'' blonde, crybaby MagicalGirl... none other than the real, flesh-and-blood Usagi Tsukino, Sailor Moon herself, one of Yayoi's childhood heroes. |
| 284 | |
| 285 | Her AMP Device, Miracle Driver, is a belt that mimics the [[TransformationTrinket Typhoon]] worn by [[Series/KamenRider the original Kamen Rider, Takeshi Hongo.]] When activated, it temporarily supercharges Yayoi's speed and strengh, and enables her to perform her own variation of the iconic [[SignatureMove Rider Kick]]. |

| 288 | * ArchEnemy: To [[BigBad Joker]]. |
| 289 | * BreakTheCutie: Subject to a ''devastating'' example. Joker singled her out, as she was part of the team that defeated him the first time. |
| 290 | * OfficialCouple: Yayoi and Yui quickly establish a relationship when they bond over their similarities, and they become full-fledged girlfriends near the end of Act II. |
| 291 | * {{Otaku}}: Yayoi was a huge fan of magical girls and superheroes long before she became one herself. What she never expected was that somewhere in the multiverse, her hero Sailor Moon would be ''real'', and that the two of them would have a chance to not only meet, but become friends and sisters-in-arms.

| 300 | |
| 301 | The overachieving martial artist of the Happiness Charge Precure, who formerly bore a huge chip on her shoulder. |
| 302 | |
| 303 | Iona had long since resolved her guilt and trauma over losing her older sister Maria [=/=] Cure Tender to the forces of darkness when Pikarigaoka was attacked again... with Tender going after her personally. The resulting battle left Megumi [=/=] Cure Lovely corrupted and Yuko [=/=] Cure Honey captured, forcing Iona to retreat with Hime [=/=] Cure Princess, the only other Precure left. Upon making contact with the Stranger and opening the door to the Lighthouse, Hime sacrificed her chance to escape with her, pushing her through the door and staying behind. Slipping back into her stern and serious persona, Iona's determination to rescue both her sister and her teammates led her to join the rescue team for Operation Batman. |
| 304 | |
| 305 | Tragically, Iona would not make it back from that mission, as she was captured and assimilated into a SlimeGirl "Drone" by Jamanen Model-JLX. With her new body under Jamanen's control, she was forced to use all her strength and skill to beat the stuffing out of Nagisa [=/=] Cure Black while aware and helpless to stop herself, before Jamanen suppressed her personality altogether to complete her subjugation. Now just as NighInvulnerable and dangerous as her mistress, it's unclear if the Morning Lights will be able to restore Iona to her true form... |
| 306 | |

| 308 | |
| 309 | * CurbStompBattle: As Drone Fortune, both times when she's forced to fight Cure Black, she wins easily, thanks to her martial arts skills plus her new NighInvulnerable RubberMan body. |
| 310 | * SacrificialLion: Her capture and assimilation marks the point when the rescue mission ultimately falls apart, and proves the undoing of the Operation Batman team. |
| 311 | * TheStoic: Losing the rest of her team and her beloved sister (again) made Iona slip back into her cold persona from the beginning of her series. She becomes a full-on EmotionlessGirl as Drone Fortune when Jamanen suppresses her personality. |

Bearing a personal grudge toward Queen Nehelenia for her attempt to turn Towa back into Twilight, and with a desire to rescue her friends and stop Joker before Towa's condition deteriorated any further, Kirara joined the rescue mission in secret, as one of the first people Alph confided in about the plan. |

Queen Nehelenia tried to reawaken Twilight's buried essence within her, but Kirara's quick action saved her. Unfortunately, Kirara's attack severed Nehelenia's hand and left it inside Towa's Dream Mirror, and its presence is slowly turning her hair to a familiar shade of silver...

| 356 | |
| 357 | After spending a year at Nanoha's side, helping her recover from the injuries she sustained from the Gadget Drone Incident, Fate was prepared to resume active duty alongside her partner. The return of the Book of Darkness and Viluy's attack on Carnaaji brought those plans crashing down. Paralyzed by Viluy's {{Nanomachines}}, Fate was helpless to stop Viluy from plucking out her right eye. Nanoha was forced to kill their assailant to get the both of them to safety, and thus a new period of recovery and adjustment began for both of them. |

| 370 | Alph immediately rushed to Fate's side once her eye was stolen, and was onboard the ''Arthra'' when it was brought to the Lighthouse. Leaning that the Witch responsible somehow came BackFromTheDead and had a part in wiping out the TSAB awoke in her a burning need to make Viluy pay, no matter what. She and Michiru hatched a plan together, gathering seven others for a secret rescue mission to Dead End's headquarters. |
| 371 | |
| 372 | While Alph succeeded in exacting her bloody revenge on Viluy, it came at a tragic cost: before she died, the former Death Buster managed to inject her with a pseudo-virus tailored specifically for her physiology. Initially this only increased her aggression, but the passage of time and the multiple traumas to which she was subjected accelerated its effects and led to a rapid degredation of her sanity. Eventually, Fate was forced to release her from her contract, which granted her a quick and merciful death. |

| 385 | [[quoteright:271:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/homuhomu_5349.png]] |
| 386 | |
| 387 | Once a weak and sickly but ordinary girl, then Madoka's sworn protector, then a grim and traumatized soldier lost in time, then the champion of Madoka's memory in the new world, and finally the Devil. |
| 388 | |
| 389 | After the events of ''Rebellion'', Homura spent an unknowable period of time keeping Madoka and the other Puellae Magi in a GildedCage. Joker's invasion of her "paradise" should have been easy for her to deal with. However, the harlequin somehow found a way of rendering himself immune to her powers, and his actions threatened to expose Madoka to the truth. While engaged in a vicious campaign of psychological warfare against her, Joker pushed Homura to her limits and took advantage of her distraction to bring first the Incubators' HiveMind and then Mami, Kyoko, and Sayaka under his control. Panicked and running out of options, Homura froze time in her universe and escaped with Madoka to a VoidBetweenTheWorlds, where they were noticed by Fantine and brought to the Lighthouse by the ''Arthra''. |
| 390 | |
| 391 | Homura wants no part in the war against Dead End; her sole concern is for Madoka. As the threat to reality grows ever greater, though, she finds that neither of them may have a choice but to involve themselves, and that she may need to face the consequences of her actions after all. |
| 392 | |
| 393 | [[spoiler:Her AMP Device, Chandeliers d'Argent, is a silver shackle worn around her wrist. When activated, the shackle serves as a MorphWeapon capable of taking on a variety of shapes, including shields, swords, and polearms.]] |
| 394 | |
| 395 | ---- |
| 396 | |
| 397 | * BigDamnHeroes: Homura accomplishes the near-impossible by rescuing the Operation Batman team from certain doom with nothing more than an immense display of power to serve as a distraction and a fingernail-sized pebble. Said pebble is aimed at a solid object and accelerated to within a few digits of light speed... |
| 398 | * LoveMartyr: Like in her home series, there is almost nothing Homura wouldn't do for Madoka's sake. |
| 399 | * DePower: Because of the insane risk of the above BigDamnHeroes moment, an incensed Fantine drains Homura of her stolen powers at the climax of Act II, leaving her back in her first Puella Magi form. The combined traumas of being made mortal again, having her secrets exposed to all reality, and losing Madoka's trust nearly do her in. |
| 400 | * MorphWeapon: [[spoiler:Chandeliers d'Argent is unique in its construction, being made of more Immaterial than any other AMP Device. As it's essentially an amorphous mass of liquid metal when activated, Homura can shape and harden it into armaments that make up for her usual lack of close-range combat options. Its shapes are limited to a total of five kilograms of mass, however... anything larger than that runs the risk of it tearing itself apart.]] |
| 401 | * SecondLove: [[spoiler:It's revealed at the climax of Act III that Homura is in love again... with ''Hotaru'', who sought her out after she lost everything. To her shock, as the two spent more time together, Homura's feelings turned romantic in nature, culminating in her belief that it would be healthier for both Madoka and herself to try to move on from her 'obsession'. Homura internally resolved to try to let Madoka go and to keep her love for Hotaru to herself, for fear of slipping back into her old mistakes. When events in Professor Tomoe's lab forced a confession from her, however, she was caught completely off guard by Hotaru's positive response, as well as by her [[{{Polyamory}} suggestion]] as to how to move forward.]] |

| 552 | |
| 553 | Initially resurrected as part of Dead End, Sailor Iron Mouse surrendered to Sailor Mars and Cure Twinkle during the rescue mission and begged them for asylum. She was fed up with being a ChewToy for the rest of Dead End's forces and utterly terrified of Joker, considering him worse than Sailor Galaxia ever was. |
| 554 | |
| 555 | * ChewToy: Seemingly the only reason Dead End resurrected her in the first place was to have someone they could all treat like garbage. After her defection, she shifts to become more of a ButtMonkey. |
| 556 | * DefectorFromDecadence: Once Mars and Twinkle come across her on the rescue mission, she immediately surrenders and places herself in their custody as a means of getting as far away from Joker and Dead End as possible. |

| 570 | The mysterious, reclusive, and apparently [[TheOmniscient omniscient]] entity who serves as Keeper of the Lighthouse, the interdimensional sanctuary for the survivors of Dead End's rampage through the multiverse. |
| 571 | |
| 572 | Fantine is reclusive to the point of paranoia, refusing to divulge anything about herself or her origins for fear of her powers being misused. She normally appears in the form of a holographic avatar, a tiny spark of light with feathered blue wings. |
| 573 | |
| 574 | * GuardianOfTheMultiverse: In her own words, Fantine sees ''everything'' from every timeline and every universe... but apart from sheltering refugees from each of them, she confines herself to being TheWatcher. This is out of fear, justified or not, that she's corruptible, and that her phenomenal powers would be all too easy to misuse. She segues into a more active role once Joker unleashes "the entity", sacrificing all but a fraction of her powers to prevent it from causing more destruction. From then on, she pledges her support to the Morning Lights. |
| 575 | * NeutralNoLonger: Joker unleashing "the entity" is what finally pushes her over the edge and forces her to act to save the multiverse. |

At various points in the story, the Stranger appears in the forms of Chibi-Chibi / Sailor Chibi-Chibi from the Sailorverse, Ayumi Sakagami / Cure Echo from the Precureverse, Alicia Testarossa from the Nanohaverse, and Nagisa Momoe from the Madokaverse. She is normally capable of shifting between their forms at will, but she shifts randomly when agitated or in distress. Unable to speak for herself, the Stranger communicates exclusively via empathic telepathy and body language. |

| 623 | |
| 624 | The SentientCosmicForce behind all evil and darkness in the multiverse. There's a lot more to it than meets the eye. |
| 625 | |
| 626 | ---- |
| 627 | |
| 628 | * AdaptationalAbomination: Chaos was already a cosmically powerful GodOfEvil in canon, but here it's a Multiversal SentientCosmicForce and a truly Lovecraftian entity. Just reading Joker's first meeting with it reads like a Literature/CthulhuMythos story |
| 629 | * EternalRecurrence: Fight the forces of good and lose, everytime, [[AndIMustScream for all time]]... Chaos, understandably, snaps and [[ScrewDestiny rebels the minute someone suggest a different result]]. |
| 630 | * TheSacredDarkness: What it's ''supposed'' to be, instead of being an [[OmnicidalManiac omnicidal]] GodOfEvil, but is a fic build around [[GoneHorriblyWrong Murphy's Law]] after all. |
| 631 | -->'''Fantine''': "You already know about Chaos. We know for sure now that it's the cosmic force that's empowering Joker and allowing him to wage his war. What I haven't told you is that Chaos has an opposite number, a force of light and creation and order: Cosmos. I can't say for certain if Cosmos is on our side or not. It's not like Chaos… Chaos has always been and will always be alone, a singular entity with its own mind. Cosmos is… spread out, let's say. It—and I say 'it' for convenience, but as much as pronouns even apply, it could easily be called 'they'— is a collective, a part of you, me, everyone and everything that lives. Nothing you could ever see or quantify or measure, but it's there. It's always there. Even Joker has a tiny spark of it, though he probably doesn't know." |
| 632 | -->'''Sakura''': "Is that… is that where the 'Seeds' he talked about came from?" |
| 633 | -->'''Fantine''': "Yes, but I suspect it wasn't always that way. Usagi, when you sacrificed yourself at the Galaxy Cauldron to disperse Chaos… I believe that action had a ripple effect that spread throughout the entire multiverse, backward and forward through all of time and space. In simple terms, you changed the system. You gave birth to the rarest and most priceless thing that exists: an idea. [[MoralityKitchenSink An idea that not everything is absolute, not everything comes down to black versus white or good versus evil]]. As things are now, everything that lives and thinks for itself has a [[AnatomyOfTheSoul Seed inside them. Joker was right about that. But he was wrong about the absolutes: no Seed is a pure Cosmos or Chaos Seed, not even his own. No matter who you are or what your alignment is, every Cosmos Seed is at least partially a Chaos Seed, even if it's just a fraction. The same must be true in reverse… otherwise, how could he turn one into the other?]] That he doesn't realize this is just more proof of how insane he really is. So, here's my theory: all Seeds have the potential to become their opposite alignment, but that doesn't necessarily mean that having a Cosmos Seed is good or having a Chaos Seed is bad. My theory is that, of the five of you…" (Fantine pivots to each in turn) "... Usagi, you and Nagisa have [[LightIsGood Cosmos Seeds]]. Your powers are fashioned around the idea of restoring order in your universes. Nanoha and Madoka, yours are both [[DarkIsNotEvil Chaos Seeds]]. You've both enacted great change on your worlds, for good and ill. That's what Cosmos and Chaos really are, I think: the concept of preserving what is, and the concept of changing what can be." |
| 634 | * ScrewDestiny: When Joker offers it a way to escape the EternalRecurrence. |
| 635 | * SentientCosmicForce:Chaos is, in Fantine's words, not a living thing that can be killed or an organization that can be defeated, it's the concept of the absence of being, a fundamental force of the universe, and it's decided to rebel against its role. Hence, the reason she has no intention of letting the heroes try to fight it. |
| 636 | * OmnicidalManiac: As in canon, wants to reduce everything to nothingness, it's kind of depressed [[YouCantFightFate about the lack of progress]]. |
| 637 | * YouCantFightFate: It's going to try though. |

| 643 | |
| 644 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bad_main4_6.jpg]] |
| 645 | |
| 646 | The most dangerous enemy of [[Anime/SmilePrettyCure the Smile Cures]], and TheHeavy of Dead End. |
| 647 | \ |
| 648 | Joker was the right-hand man of that series's BigBad, Emperor Pierrot. Instead of dying upon sacrificing himself to fully revive Pierrot as in canon, Joker's consciousness survived within Pierrot's body throughout the final battle, [[AndIMustScream aware, immobile, and utterly helpless.]] Joker could do nothing but howl in impotent rage as Pierrot, the one he devoted his every action to serving, was killed by the Cures' final attack without even putting up a fight. |
| 649 | \ |
| 650 | That should have been the end of the story. |
| 651 | \ |
| 652 | Instead, Joker met Chaos and resisted rejoining with it, openly defying the force of nature and calling it a coward. This impressed Chaos enough to spare Joker, reincarnating him to serve as its [[TheHeavy Heavy]] in the mortal realm and wage the war on reality. |
| 653 | \ |
| 654 | Joker is, to his very core, sadistic and nihilistic... to a degree that terrifies even the many numerous sadists and nihilists of Dead End. He stands alone as the most depraved monster of them all, willing to go far beyond even the most despicable acts he committed in his own series. However, Joker is also intelligent and calculating, making schemes within schemes within schemes and keeping secrets from even his most trusted underlings. |
| 655 | ---- |
| 656 | |
| 657 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: There are lines even ''Joker'' won't cross. To wit: while he may have brainwashed and corrupted his five greatest enemies, all teenage girls, into his fanatically loyal servants, his "games" with them are "strictly chaste". WordOfGod puts him as asexual acknowledging love and sex as another set of useful tools for causing his victims pain, but totally uninterested in experiencing them for himself. As Kanna makes clear, these standards do not necessarily apply to his underlings. |
| 658 | * GoMadFromTheRevelation: Chaos showed him exactly how many magical girls there are in the multiverse, and just how pointless and insignificant his first life's mission was on a cosmic scale. The resulting fit of pure [[ExistentialHorror existential terror]] would have killed him, had he not already been dead at the time. Instead, it ''broke'' him and made him far worse than before, graduating him from HopeCrusher to OmnicidalManiac. |
| 659 | * MonsterClown: With an emphasis on the "monster". Joker's appearance may be deceptively harmless-looking at first glance, but he may well be the most thoroughly vile villain in Precure history, and in this story, he outdoes anything he ever did in his series' canon. The ''other'' [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker Joker]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Kefka Palazzo]], and [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Hazama]] were all inspirations for this version of him. |
| 660 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: After hijacking the Incubators' HiveMind, Joker now shares their ability to regenerate new bodies for himself whenever his current one is killed. |
| 661 | * {{Sadist}}: Negating the existence of the multiverse ''isn't enough'' for him. Everyone and everything that can think for itself needs to suffer first, and embrace the same nihilism that he does. |
| 662 | * ScarsAreForever: Sailor Venus's Holy Moon Sword left an X-shaped scar in his mask that ignores his HealingFactor and persists even when Joker's current body is destroyed. |
| 663 | * ScrewDestiny: His refusal to accept the EternalRecurrence kickstarts the plot. As he puts it, if Chaos can never win in the cycle, then the cycle itself needs to be destroyed. |

| 702 | The PersonOfMassDestruction embodied. |
| 703 | |
| 704 | In Nanoha's world, the Book of Darkness was a catastrophically dangerous ArtifactOfDoom which caused the destruction of entire dimensions and countless inhabited worlds whenever it awakened, chose a new Master, and rampaged out of control before falling dormant and repeating the cycle. The Will of the Book of Darkness (also called Reinforce) is the Book's Master Program fully manifested and given physical form, only appearing once all the Book's pages are filled and another rampage is due to begin. Hayate Yagami was intended to be the Book's final Master... Instead, she reprogrammed the Book and purged it of its corrupt self-defense program, NachtWal, with the help of Nanoha Takamachi, Fate Testarossa Harlaown, and the TSAB. Their actions led to the Book's complete destruction... or so it seemed. |
| 705 | |
| 706 | The Time Reaper helped Dead End acquire the Book in its completed form, prior to Hayate's reprogramming. Worse still, Viluy was able to use a [[MindControlDevice Relic]] on Hayate, which compelled her to perform a [[FusionDance Unison]] between herself and the Will... only with Hayate as the Will's Device instead of the other way around. The result was the Unisoned Will of the Book of Darkness: a being with all of the Book's tremendous destructive power plus Hayate's own, and with the latter's gargantuan mana supply as fuel. A heretofore-unprecedented [[RankInflation SSS+-class Mage]], she was able to tear apart the entire Dimensional Navy by herself without a scratch, crippling the Bureau's ability to fight back against Dead End. |

Eas was one of Labyrinth's generals, tasked to find the Infinite Memory which would allow Moebius to extend its control to every dimension. Eas is steadfastly loyal to her cause... but that cause is ''Labyrinth'', not Dead End, the latter of which absorbed the former at Moebius's insistence.

| 745 | Once one of Madoka Kaname's oldest and most trusted friends, Sayaka's suffering was supposed to have ended once Madoka came to claim her as the Law of Cycles. When the Incubators captured Homura during the events of ''Rebellion'', however, Madoka chose to return to the physical world, entrusting Sayaka and Nagisa Momoe with her memories and portions of her godly powers. Everything came crashing down when Homura, broken by her torture at the Incubators' hands, stole those powers and rewrote the universe again to give Madoka a happy, normal life whether she wanted it or not. |

When Joker used Sailor Mnemosyne's power to give her back her powers and memories, all hell broke loose: Sayaka immediately joined Dead End for the sake of making Homura pay.

[[spoiler:After losing against Yayoi in Uminari and subsequently being punished by Joker, her knowledge of it progressively disturbs her more and more as she realizes the implications.]] |
| 789 | * MadLove: She loves Joker, who at best sees her as another weapon in his war on reality, and at worst is totally indifferent to her. |
| 790 | * OriginalCharacter: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]], see {{Transplant}} below. Kanna's design and powers are identical to the original Bad End Peace as seen in [[Anime/SmilePrettyCure Smile Precure]], but her backstory and personality are original. |
| 791 | * PsychoElectro: Her ShockAndAwe powers are an even match with Yayoi's, and she's ''definitely'' unstable. |
| 792 | * TalkativeLoon: Kanna has an impressively foul mouth and no conversational filter, in contrast to Yayoi's shyness and timidness. Even the other soldiers of Dead End, many of whom have a sketchy relationship with sanity at best, think that most of what she talks about is absurd nonsense. |
| 793 | * {{Transplant}}: Of a sort, per WordOfGod. The original version of Kanna, Kanna ''Kirai'', was a purely comedic character who sprung from the author's now-defunct Website/{{Tumblr}} RP blog. Kanna ''Kise'' has an entirely different backstory and is a far more dramatic take on the concept. |

| 804 | The Witches 5 were assigned to watch over the Azabu-Juuban area, specifically the ruins of the Game Center Crown [[spoiler:and Professor Tomoe's subterranean laboratory]]. Viluy abandoned the group for [[Anime/FreshPrettyCure Labyrinth]] prior to the beginning of the story, but Ptilol was promoted to a full-time member in her old spot, and she and Cyprine both ascended to the rank of Magus. Cruel, devious, and ruthless to a one, the Witches were close to pure evil and gave Strike Team Tiger a hellish fight. |

| 815 | As Hotaru feared, her father was alive and well and had joined Dead End willingly. But to her shock, he was not entirely the sociopathic traitor to humankind of one timeline, nor was he the Daimon-possessed victim of the other... and his reasons for allying himself with Joker were more complex than anyone suspected. |
