Pretty Cure

    Love Momozono (Cure Peach

Voiced by: Kanae Oki (Japanese) Foreign VAs

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lovepeach.png
"Shiawase gettoda yo!"English

A ridiculously positive girl who's very fond of dancing and keen on spreading happiness to everyone she comes across. During a concert of her favorite dance group Trinity, Labyrinth begins its attack on humans. Love threw herself to defend the lead of the Trinity, Miyuki Chinen, and was chosen to become Cure Peach to fight against evil. Shortly afterward she started training her dancing skills with Miyuki. Cure Peach's speciality is punching.


  • Action Girl: Cure Peach has the most successful first transformation among the lead Cures in the whole franchise so far. She just fought the Monster of the Week without any questions and using her magical power without being called for using it. She even called herself being the legendary warrior, a Precure, despite not knowing the legend.
  • All-Loving Hero: True to her name, Love does her best to ensure that everyone, enemies included, can get their happiness, unless they can't be reasoned with (like Northa and Klein). She even tries this on Moebius (although it failed). This also spreads to her teammates with Miki and Setsuna managing to reach through Soular and Westar after Moebius tries to dispose of them.
  • Bare-Fisted Monk: Cure Peach's specialization in punching. She'd kick anytime just fine, though. The movie, however, shows this as she's also capable of doing a Megaton One-Inch Punch.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Is less of a moron than other Idiot Heroines, and is more badass.
  • Does Not Like Spam: She has a massive aversion to carrots.
  • Dub Name Change: Her Cure Name becomes "Cure Love" in the Taiwanese Mandarin dub. note  This is averted in said dub of her cameo in Soaring Sky! PreCure, where she introduced herself as Cure Peach instead. note 
  • For Happiness: So much that in the first episode she starts crying because her classmate Yumi was rejected by a senior she had a crush on. Not to mention, her catchphrase is "Get your happiness!", and she even tries this on her enemies. Works for Eas, backfires for Moebius.
  • Funny Afro: Love gets a couple of these every so often throughout the series with the Monster of the Week of episode 12 forcing a red wig on her in contrast to the more stylish wigs Miki and Inori received. However, she quickly cheers up since Chiffon likes it and uses it as a makeshift trampoline.
  • Genki Girl: As per Pretty Cure tradition, she's a highly energetic teenage girl who loves dancing.
  • Girlish Pigtails: In both civilian and Cure forms, she wears a pair of high pigtails that emphasize her femininity.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: As a cure, she has bright blonde hair and is a hyperempathetic and compassionate teenage girl.
  • Heart Beatdown: The Love Sunshine (Fresh) involves firing off a beam in the shape of a heart.
  • Heroic BSoD: The revelation that Setsuna is her Arch-Enemy Eas hit her hard leaving her unsure what to do especially since she truly believes in her friendship with Setsuna. She snaps out of this thanks to Kaoru advising her to resume their friendship by settling their beef with each other with her realizing that they should just fight it out.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Setsuna with whom she shares a close bond due to the amounts of hardships and conflict their friendship endured.
  • Idiot Hero: This is also played for laughs in Episode 32, when the other girls try to find a solution to extend Tarte's stay in the human world; all of their ideas describe Cure Peach as an idiot. Of course, Love is not amused about it.
  • Meaningful Name: Love is a fitting first name for a romantic girl. Momozono can translate to "peach garden", fitting her cure alias.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In episode 46, Setsuna warns Love not to assist an elderly Labyrinth resident who stumbles carrying a heavy box, because no order has been given to assist him and doing so would draw attention to them. She stops, only to instinctively help a little girl moments later. The Big Bad promptly notices them.
  • Nightmare Face: With Setsuna, in episode 30—a rare heroic example, and also Played for Laughs.
    • Accidentally does this to Chiffon trying to cheer her up in episode 4.
  • Oblivious to Love: She doesn't notice that Daisuke has a crush on her, even when he talks about her when she's Cure Peach. He needs to confess to her for her to get it.
  • The Power of Love: Her first name is literally the word Love, her symbol is the pink heart, and she's the lead Cure of this season.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Setsuna's Girly Girl.
  • Troll: After Daisuke finally confesses his love to her, she doesn't give him an answer and goes happily away.
  • What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Her Midseason Upgrade also lets her... create food for Chiffon.

    Miki Aono (Cure Berry

Voiced by: Eri Kitamura (Japanese) Foreign VAs

"The blue heart is the emblem of hope! Freshly gathered, Cure Berry!"

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Miki_5810.png
A tall girl who aspires to be a model and tries to keep up a perfect appearance and attitude, but is always caring and protective to those she loves. Although she goes to different school than Love, she and Love have been friends since childhood. She lives with her divorced mother, and due to her looks, she had to ask her brother Kazuki to act like her boyfriend. She awakens as Cure Berry when she insisted on protecting her brother from a Nakewameke, and later on joins Love's dancing group to improve her body shape and health. Cure Berry's specialty is kicking.
  • Action Girl: While she is a fashionita model, she's also a Cure.
  • The Big Girl: Has taken this role, after Cure Passion took her Lancer role. Cure Berry is taller than the other girls (in fact, she's the second tallest Precure after Cure Moonlight in the franchise), and being one of two Fresh Cures whose specialty is attacking (in her case: kicks).
  • Can't Catch Up: She's worried about this while she was lacking her Midseason Upgrade. This leads her to take a level in Jerkass for Chiffon in the next episode, until she learns about taking her responsibility as Chiffon's caretaker/mom instead of just using her as a method to power up.
  • Cool Big Sis: For her little sickly brother Kazuki.
  • Disappeared Dad: Her parents had a Solomon Divorce and she lives with her mother. Her brother lives with her father - who is never seen in the series.
  • Dub Name Change: Her Cure Name becomes "Cure Hope" in the Taiwanese Mandarin dub.
  • The Fashionista: While not as much as Erika in the next season, Miki is pretty fashion-conscious, as she's aiming for a dream of being a fashion model.
  • Freak Out: What happens if she sees an octopus.
  • Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: Performs it to Cure Peach in The Movie.
  • Head-Turning Beauty: Nearly everyone who comes across her comment on how beautiful she is (for a 14-years old). She has so many would-be suitors that hit on her, to the point where she had to ask Kazuki to pretend be her boyfriend just to drive them off. Inevitable, since she's trying to be 'perfect', and her dream job is to be a fashion model.
  • Huge Schoolgirl: She's the third tallest Pretty Cure in the franchise and quite tall for Japanese standards, considering she's 14.
  • Kick Chick: Cure Berry's specialization is in kicking. She is, however, fine with punching.
  • The Lancer: Before Cure Passion joined them, she was the foil to Cure Peach.
  • Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Dark Feminine to Inori's Light Feminine.
  • Meaningful Name: Miki contains the characters for "beauty" and "hope", while the "ao" in Aono means "blue".
  • Ms. Fanservice: Probably the closest Pretty Cure has ever gotten to this trope, given her Shower Scene in Episode 2 and her revealing Cure outfit.
  • Odd Name Out: The only member of the team whose Cure name doesn't start with a P.
  • The Perfectionist: Her catchphrase is after all "I'm perfect!", and she mostly tries to look and act perfect in every way, and at first, she'd usually hide any imperfect things she happened to have (like her fears towards octopus). But this is also occasionally Played for Laughs; when things go downhill, Miki would instead go "I'm not perfect at all...". On the other hand, any time she's not even bothering to appear perfect (especially during her focus episode where she unlocks her Pickrun), it's a sign that things just got too serious for her. On the bright side and unusual for the trope, being a perfectionist doesn't make Miki batshit insane like other examples of the trope, she's still a positive and good girl through and through.
  • Plucky Girl: The 'Blue Heart' symbolizes hope, thus Miki always kept her hope and refuses to fall into despair.
  • Proper Tights with a Skirt: As the elegant and feminine fashionista, she wears a pair of opaque black tights with her school uniform.
  • The Smart Girl: She is a blue Cure, of course. However, she does not have many moments.
  • Socially Awkward Hero: Had moments of this trying to talk to Setsuna after she becomes Cure Passion
  • True Blue Femininity: She's the Blue Cure of this season, and is a feminine model.
  • What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Her Midseason Upgrade also lets her...change Chiffon's clothes. There was an episode where she used it to put the Cures in baseball uniforms.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Octopi in her case, due to an event in her childhood. Unlike Inori's case with ferrets, Miki didn't so much get over it as temporarily put aside her fears to protect her friends. When the same octopus-Nakewameke returns in All Stars DX3, Miki still trembles at its presence.note 
  • Younger than She Looks: The main reason for the Babaa nickname; she looks more like a high-schooler than the fourteen year old she's supposed to be.

    Inori Yamabuki (Cure Pine

Voiced by: Akiko Nakagawa (Japanese) Foreign VAs

"The yellow heart is the emblem of faith! Freshly harvested, Cure Pine!"

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Inori_7189.png
A daughter of veterinarians, she is another childhood friend of Love and Miki, and attends a Christian school. Usually called 'Buki' instead of her first name, she's at first a rather shy girl that loves animals. She hesitated to join Love's dancing group at first, but after she awakened as Cure Pine by protecting an animal patient, she gained more confidence to eventually join the dancing group and become more outgoing. Cure Pine's speciality is stamina.
  • Crazy-Prepared: Who ever brought an umbrella to the amusement park to protect from splashing water caused by the log flume?
    • And who would've come up with the idea of bringing in a mechanical retractable long hand just in case she's forced to touch a ferret that she feared?
  • Dub Name Change: Her Cure Name becomes "Cure Prayers" in the Taiwanese Mandarin dub.
  • Friend to All Living Things: Except ferrets, due to a slightly traumatic childhood event. And even then that wears off.
  • Kindly Vet: She's the daughter of a caring veterinarian, and hopes someday to follow her father's footsteps in his job.
  • Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Light Feminine to Miki's Dark Feminine
  • Meaningful Name: Inori means "pray", which specifically refers to her element of prayers and how she goes to a Christian private school. The "buki" of Yamabuki means "blow", referring to her Pine Flute, and the "ki" in "buki" can mean "yellow"
  • Nice Guy: When she notices that Setsuna grows tired of Love and Miki abusing Akarun's power, she denies that she also forgotten something in her house. After a private talk with Setsuna, she finally admits it and has Setsuna retrieves it, revealing that said item is actually a set of gymnastic uniform she made for Setsuna, just like the ones she made for Love and Miki.
  • Power Makes Your Hair Grow: Significantly downplayed in comparison to other Cures in the franchise. Though her hair color changes just like her fellow Fresh Cures, her hairstyle as Cure Pine is almost exactly the same as it is in her civilian form; the only difference is that her side ponytail is slightly longer.
  • Shrinking Violet: In the first few episodes, she's shy and not very outgoing.
  • Speaks Fluent Animal: From episode 13 onwards, thanks to her Mid-Season Upgrade. While there are a lot of kind animals, Inori also finds out that there's also some uncaring and unhelpful ones (but harmless).
  • Token Religious Teammate: She's the only Precure to have a confirmed religion (Christianity) in the franchise.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: In her case, ferrets... And Tarte just happened to be one. However, she is no longer afraid of him after the events of episode 10.

    Cure Passion (Spoilers) 

Eas / Setsuna Higashi (Cure Passion)

Voiced by: Yuka Komatsu (Japanese) Foreign VAs

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eas_profile.png

One of the first three Labyrinth agents sent to Earth. Eas is a cold and calculating girl who strives to prove herself worthy of Lord Moebius' attention. She develops a strong rivalry with Love, who has an opposite personality from her own. Her human alias is Setsuna Higashi.


Tropes exclusive to her as Setsuna/Cure Passion

"The scarlet heart is the proof of happiness! Freshly ripened, Cure Passion!"
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/setsunapassion.png
Eas used the alias Setsuna Higashi in order to manipulate and break apart Love's circle of friends, only to find herself becoming part of said circle. Eventually her life was terminated by Labyrinth, but she was resurrected as Cure Passion. Having nowhere to go, she was invited to stay with the Momozonos as a surrogate daughter, adopted the name Setsuna for real, and started learning about what it's like to live like a normal human. Cure Passion's speciality is speed.
  • The Atoner: She feels guilty about her past sins, but fortunately, the world is better than she could ever imagine.
  • Berserk Button: Especially if you're in Labryinth, do not bring up her past with them. Westar got yelled at for doing so.
  • But Now I Must Go: She returns to Labyrinth with Hayato and Shun in the last episode since it's now safe from Moebius' influence. Of course, it's hinted that they can come back and visit if they want to. And she usually does for crossover movies.
  • Color-Coded Secret Identity: The fact that most of her stuff is red even gets discussed a few times.
  • The Comically Serious: She doesn't know what comedy is.
  • Does Not Like Spam: She does not like bell peppers.
  • Dork Knight: Her social skills leave much to be desired.
  • Good Eyes, Evil Eyes: She is initially portrayed with narrower and duller eyes than the Cures. However, they become rounder and shinier after she resolves to become a Pretty Cure in episode 24.
  • Happily Adopted: Well, not officially (she's kind of an administrative void), but as far as the Momozonos are concerned she's the family's second daughter, and she even starts calling Ayumi "mom" after a while.
  • Heart Beat-Down: Happiness Hurricane has a heart motif.
  • Heel–Face Turn: From Eas to Cure Passion.
  • Heel Realization: Has two : the first one is before her Heel–Face Turn and the second one after so:
    • Eas admits she was jealous of love during their last fight and then realises that it's only while being with the Pretty Cures as Setsuna that she is happy. After being killed by Labyrinth and revived by Chiffon, this convices her to leave Labyrinth for good.
    • In the following episode Eas/Setsuna is invited to the restaurant by Love. After spending time with Love and her parents, she silently realizes what happiness really means and that she almost destroyed people's joy by attacking them. She then becomes shocked after seeing Westar attacking innocent people and terrifying them on purpose. This is enough to convince her to fight Labyrinth and join Love's team. Quickly afterward, the heel realization causes her to break down into tears.
  • Heroic BSoD: Despite her Heel–Face Turn, she constantly dwells on her time as Eas and even worries that she will change back. This comes to a head in episode 42.
  • High-Heel–Face Turn: Building up from Heel–Face Turn. Of course, she's female.
  • Instant Fan Club: Gets one when she transfer to Love's school.
  • I Surrender, Suckers: She pretends to accept Moebius's forgiveness in episode 42, but her real intention is to destroy the Fuko Gauge. Not that it works against Northa, getting her caught and nearly brainwashed into rejoining Labyrinth if it wasn't for her friends coming in.
  • The Lancer: After joining the Precures, she has taken this role from Cure Berry.
  • Lightning Bruiser: She is quite strong, but her real strength in combat is her speed.
  • Meaningful Name: Higashi means "east" - a reference to her original name Eas. Setsuna can mean "moment" or "instant", believed to be part of a Theme Naming with the other Labyrinth agents' human identities.
  • Nightmare Face: With Love, in episode 30—a rare heroic example, and also Played for Laughs.
  • Proper Tights with a Skirt: As Cure Passion, she wears black tights underneath her red skirt
  • Red Is Heroic: Setsuna is a Pretty Cure clad in red.
  • Refusal of the Call: Initially feels unworthy of becoming a Pretty Cure. Love gets her out of it.
  • Sixth Ranger: The fourth member to join the Fresh Pretty Cures.
  • The Smart Girl: Shares this trope with Cure Berry and Cure Pine.
  • Spectacular Spinning: Pretty Cure Happiness Hurricane
  • Teleportation: Setsuna's Transformation Trinket has the ability to teleport the characters to desired locations. Upon discovering this new power, the girls used it to retrieve forgotten items from their homes.
  • That Man Is Dead: A heroic example, after Westar presses her Berserk Button. "I am no longer Eas!" It should also be noted that she outright died as Eas only for Akarun to revive her as Cure Passion making her a literal example.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: Girly Girl to Love's Tomboy.
  • Weaponized Teleportation: The Non-Serial Movie actually has her use her teleportation powers offensively, to the point where she teleports a castle's tower onto her opponent. She is never seen using her abilities like that in the series.

  • Big Sister Mentor: She is not much older than the Cures, but she is indeed their dance teacher.

  • Cool Teacher: Dance lesson teachers anyway. Also has shades of Stern Teacher.
  • Heroic Bystander: Actually helps fight a monster at one point (episode 44).
  • Red Herring: The other Cures and particularly Tarte think she could be the fourth Pretty Cure - to the point where Tarte actually begs her to join at one point. Akarun (the red key sprite) is even seen near Miyuki a few times. It just so happens that when Akarun appears near Miyuki, Eas is also there.
  • Refusal of the Call: Played with in that she was never The Chosen One to begin with; in fact her anguished refusal in Episode 26 is Played for Laughs. Later on though she seems really eager to be a Pretty Cure coach.
  • Secret-Keeper: The Cures end up transforming in front of her. It finally clues her in as to why her students are so exhausted and decides to call off the dance lessons for a while.

    Daisuke Chinen 

Voiced by: Tarusuke Shingaki (Japanese) Foreign VAs

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chinen_daisuke.png

  • All Love Is Unrequited: Towards Love.
  • Cannot Spit It Out: Really can't get it out for Love.
  • Loves My Alter Ego: He thinks Cure Peach is totally cool and Love should take lessons from her, not realizing that Love IS Peach. Until The Reveal in the end.
    • Actually inverted. He respects Cure Peach, but he actually loves Love.
  • Luke, I Am Your Father: More like "Love, Miyuki is my Sister", but same principle. They know they're related, the other characters (and possibly the viewer) don't. Foreshadowed, thanks to Daisuke having things like Trinity tickets and a notebook with Miyuki's schedule.

  • Badass Normal: See Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass.
  • Character Catchphrase: "GUHA!"
  • Charles Atlas Superpower: He can jump several meters in the air and kicks a diamond Nakewameke and breaks it (though he was aiming for its weakpoint).
  • Cloudcuckoolander: This guy has a very strange mind and behavier, to the point when he switches his body with a frog, Love and Miki think he's acting completely normal.
  • The Cloudcuckoolander Was Right: He gives a lot of good advices to other people and has a lot of knowledge.
  • Cool Shades: Never seen without one.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: This guy likes cracking jokes and goofing off with the girls in his doughnut stand and talks with Tarte like nobody's business. However, he's also a secret agent of sorts and can deliver a beatdown to a Nakewameke or at least soften it up for the Cures to finish.
  • Drives Like Crazy: Implied. He is capable of driving very fast to reach a destination in a short time. And along the way, the other passenger in his car, Miki, was screaming her lungs off.
  • Fantastically Indifferent: Is totally unbothered by Tarte talking.
  • Fun Personified: He is always cheerful despite all the weird things happening around him.

  • Pungeon Master: Well he's trying. His jokes are terrible.
  • Secret-Keeper: He knows Tarte can talk, at least. It's vaguely implied he knows the Cures' identities as well.

Labyrinth

    General 
  • Blind Obedience: Due to being indoctrinated that all orders from Lord Moebius are right, the entire population is completely obedient to him since that's the only thing they know their entire lives from birth with the generals he chose to send to Earth to gather Fuko Energy being the ones most loyal to him. However, the Cures and the fairies manage to break his hold on them by showing there is more to the world than following Moebius' orders with the initial three generals performing a Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal due to how much of a Bad Boss Moebius is.
  • Punny Name: Northa, Eas, Soular, and Westar. North, East, South, and West.

    Lord Moebius (Spoilers) 

Lord Moebius

Voiced by: Tomomichi Nishimura (Japanese) Foreign VAs

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fresh_pretty_cure21_moebius_pose.png
The shadowy leader of Labyrinth, treated as a god by its inhabitants. His goal is to use the power of "Infinity" to bring every single parallel world under the robotic control of Labyrinth. It is actually a Master Computer designed to help manage the lives of its citizens, which it did by brainwashing everyone and taking control of their very souls.
  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot: He is a supercomputer who once decided to take control over Labyrinth, and now he wants to control everything in the universe.
  • Astral Projection: After The Reveal, he appears as a gigantic head of holograms. He can also create holograms to attack.
  • Bad Boss: Moebius is physically and emotionally abusive, especially to Eas, who just wants his recognition. When Klein informs him about Westar and Soular's Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal, he only regrets that he didn't dispose of them sooner.
  • Bald of Evil: He is the Big Bad of this series with a chromedome.
  • Big Bad: He is the leader of Labyrinth whom the agents refer to as their leader.
  • The Computer Is Your Friend: Moebius was a computer created by Labyrinth's citizens to manage the country. He soon decided that his creators were too weak to do anything for themselves and took his assigned function to its logical conclusion.
  • Control Freak: His goal is to take control over every parallel world, not to mention the fact this all started when he took over the world of Labyrinth when he decided that the beings there are better off under his control turning it into a Crapsack World, where the populace's only goal is to follow his orders. The two generals closest to him, Klein and Northa, are even artificial humans made to be completely loyal to him.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Love attempts to give him a Last-Second Chance by asking Moebius to seek his happiness. As a machine, Moebius never attempted to do so, so then he decides that his happiness is... kill the Pretty Cures. Cue a failed Taking You with Me.
  • Evil Laugh: Mostly in later parts of the season.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: He has a really deep voice.
  • The Faceless: We don't get a good look at him until Episode 45 (though episode 18's next episode preview has an image of him without the blurring effect).
  • Fighting a Shadow: Most of the time, any time the Cures fights him, it's just a hologramme.
  • Hellish Pupils: Like his agents.
  • Humans Are Bastards: He sees them as both this and useless with him feeling that everything is better under his control.
  • Me's a Crowd: In the final battle, he attacks the heroes with energy duplicates of his fake body.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: In the waste processing plant, Westar and Soular were winning the fight against Cure Pashion and Cure Berry, but his decision to kill them all through the delete hole caused his agents to perform a Heroic Sacrifice to save the Cures.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: His gigantic head projection has completely red eyes.
  • Robotic Reveal: In episode 49, after his body is smacked by Happiness Hurricane. Subverted in that the robot body is still not his real form.
  • Shock and Awe: He can fire diamond-shaped lightning bolts.
  • Theme Naming: A Moebius strip is a shape that theoretically encompasses more than three dimensions, much like a Klein bottle.
  • Vocal Dissonance: After his original robot body is destroyed, he appears as the Cures' civilian identities... while still using his normal voice.
  • Walking Spoiler: It's rather hard to talk about him without mentioning his true nature.

Agents

    Westar 

Voiced by: Yasunori Matsumoto (Japanese) Foreign VAs

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/westar.png
One of the first three Labyrinth agents sent to Earth. Westar is a boisterous bruiser whose unfamiliarity with human social norms often leaves him looking stupid. His plans tend to be direct and unsubtle. His human alias is Hayato Nishi.
  • Arch-Enemy: To Cure Passion, since she was Eas, and Westar still sees in her as his comrade.
  • Big Damn Heroes: After the Heel–Face Turn, the first thing he did was coming to protect the Cures who were defeated by Klein-Northa.
  • Big Eater: He has some serious appetite even when he's not hungry, as shown when he ate 9 boxes of takoyaki in seconds in episode 33 and eating at least 13 bowls of ramen in episode 39.
  • Boring, but Practical: While his plans are simpler compared to Soular's, he does realize that the easiest way to gather Fuko Energy is by summoning a monster in the middle of a place with many people enjoying themselves such as events, festivals or other crowded places.
  • The Brute: Yes, he is a Dumb Muscle, but his Monsters of the Week he summons are very combat-orientated and often extraordinarily large, giving the Precures always a tough time like his comrades do.
  • But Now I Must Go: At the end of episode 50, Labyrinth is safe enough for him, Shun, and Setsuna to come back.
  • Butt-Monkey: Everything he "plans" never ends in a good way, and the show makes fun of him. At one point, three of the Cures land on him, and then they transform while standing on his back.
  • Cape Snag: In episode 39, Cure Passion catches him on his cape.
  • Clueless Chick-Magnet: He cannot make two steps in his civilian disguise without attracting a bunch of female admirers, despite being completely oblivious to the reason for this.
  • Determinator: What he lacks in smarts and planning, he makes up for in sheer persistence; he easily carries out more attacks against Pretty Cure than any of the other agents.
  • Dumb Muscle: He's not as smart as Eas and Soular, not to mention Northa. His "plans" are always unsuccessful. And unfortunately, his comrades don't give him any advice even when he asks them.
  • Good Costume Switch: In episode 48, where he receives clothes with light colors after being saved by Chiffon.
  • Heel–Face Turn: In episode 48, after being saved by Chiffon.
  • Hellish Pupils: Until his Heel–Face Turn.
  • Hypocrite: He criticizes Cure Berry for saving Cure Passion during a battle because the latter is a traitor and could possibly betray the Precures. Berry's answers that she trusts Passion because she is their friend. Ironically, Westar himself believes in Eas' future return, which means he even believes in her loyalty to Labyrinth at this moment.
  • "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: A villainous version. After Eas becomes Cure Passion, Wester is genuinely hurt by the defection and constantly attempts to convince her to return. It never works, but he doesn't stop trying until his own Heel–Face Turn.
  • Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Some of his plans are so harmless that you can't help but feel bad for him especially since Eas and Soular keep mocking him about this with episode 12 being a standout example with the wigs his monster forces everyone only creating joy with the only energy he manages to collect coming from his own misery.
  • Insane Troll Logic: A prime example is episode 16. He happens to overhear a conversation between Love and Daisuke involving something that ends with "-inity". He automatically assumes that they must be talking about Infinity, sees Daisuke putting a box in his pocket, and concludes that said box must be Infinity. He actually manages to get the box, and when he finally opens it... it's a jack-in-the-box that causes a skeleton to jump out and does nothing but say, "You've been tricked by Trinity".
  • Laughably Evil: Dear God. This is the guy who tried to be evil, but can't be bothered to read things up or think hard about his plans unless asking Soular or Eas (who in turn made fun of his idiocy). As a result, while his plans have legitimate evil intentions, the way he carries them out is just plain backfire-prone and usually results in a funny episode.
  • Meaningful Name: Nishi means "west". Hayato can mean "falcon person" and could be a reference to the word "hayai" meaning "fast" or "quick". This is part of a Theme Naming with the Labyrinth agents' civilian identities.
  • Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: He betrays Moebius along with Soular after his boss opened a delete hole to kill Cure Passion and Cure Berry while knowing his two agents were also inside the waste processing plant.
  • Not Quite Dead: He and Soular are appearantly deleted, but Chiffon rescues them.
  • Redemption Equals Death: The last thing he did before being sucked into a black hole with Souler was push Cure Passion, a former Labyrinth minion who had defected to the Cures, out of harm's way. This becomes Redemption Earns Life once it turns out he along with Soular were saved by Chiffon.
  • Villainous Friendship: One of the few villains of the franchise who believes in this. He treats Eas and Souler like his friends with him being genuinely worried about the former's use of Nakisakebe cards and even when Eas betrays them, he still calls her "Eas" as a sign of his trust and wants her to return to Labyrinth. In episode 31, he even treats the Monster of the Week like a baseball teammate.
  • You Are Better Than You Think You Are: When self-deprecating himself with a laugh over the fact his boss considers him just trash to dispose of. Cure Passion tells him that he is not trash since he has a heart that always thinks of his comrades including her despite her betrayal of Labyrinth.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Moebius pulls this on him; it doesn't stick.

    Soular 

Voiced by: Kenichi Suzumura (Japanese) Foreign VAs

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/soular.png
One of the first three Labyrinth agents sent to Earth. Soular is sly and intelligent, often using meticulous plans that manipulate others. His human alias is Shun Minami.
  • Arch-Enemy: More or less to Cure Berry, mostly in later parts of the series.
  • Big Damn Heroes: After the Heel–Face Turn, the first thing he did was coming to protect the Cures who were defeated by Klein-Northa.
  • Bishie Sparkle: In episode 35.
  • But Now I Must Go: At the end of episode 50, Labyrinth is safe enough for him, Hayato, and Setsuna to come back.
  • Et Tu, Brute?: When Moebius tries to dispose of him despite his loyalty, he first tries to reason what's happening, only to cry out for an answer. In contrast, Westar took it slightly better due to the betrayal validating Setsuna's words over Moebius.
  • The Evil Genius: The reason why he is more dangerous than Westar is that Soular's plans are much more effective and they bring much more Fuko energy. His Evil Plans are based on human psychology, and his Monsters of the Week are difficult to defeat, not because of their strength, but because of their special abilities.
  • Good Costume Switch: In episode 48, where he receives clothes with light colors after being saved by Chiffon.
  • Heel–Face Turn: episode 48, after being saved by Chiffon.
  • Hellish Pupils: Until his Heel–Face Turn.
  • Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He's an attractive young man with long silver hair.
  • Meaningful Name: Minami means "south" while Shun can mean "quick". This is part of a Theme Naming for the civilian identities of the Labyrinth agents.
  • Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: He betrays Moebius along with Westar after his boss opened a delete hole to kill Cure Passion and Cure Berry while knowing his two agents were also inside the waste processing plant.
  • Not Quite Dead: He and Westar are apparently deleted, but Chiffon rescues them.
  • Not So Above It All: Soular most of the time acts cold and calculated, unlike the more outgoing Westar, not prone to doing silly stuff and instead ridiculing Westar's stupid moments. In the ending, even he can't help dancing around and making a blissfully silly face when watching the Precure's last dance in the contest, surprising Westar.
  • Quality over Quantity: While he doesn't go out as much compared to Westar, he does manage to gather more Fuko energy due to his monsters focussing on human psychology.
  • Redemption Equals Death: The last thing he did before being sucked into a black hole with Westar was pushing Cure Berry out of harm's way. This becomes Redemption Earns Life once it turns out he along with Westar were saved by Chiffon.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Moebius pulls this on him; it doesn't stick.

    Northa 

Voiced by: Misa Watanabe (Japanese) Foreign VAs

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/northa_pretty_cure.png
A senior Labyrinth agent sent to Earth to aid their efforts in capturing Infinity. Excessively cruel and sadistic, she uses Despair Energy to grow her powerful Sorewatase monsters. Her human alias is Nayuta Kita... which she rarely uses.
  • All There in the Manual: Northa rarely appears as a human and never uses her alias 'Nayuta Kita' when in her human guise. You could only know if you read other sources not in the show (like the internet or something).
  • Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Has black hair as Nayuta Kita.
  • Artificial Human: Created by Moebius by using a plant DNA.
  • Bishōnen Line: After fusing with Klein.
  • Breath Weapon: In her monster form.
  • Co-Dragons: With Klein, quite literally at the end.
  • Combat Stilettos: She doesn't fight much, but she can kick.
  • Combat Tentacles: Uses branches that blur the two.
  • Crazy-Prepared: She contacts Setsuna and give her an offer to come back to Labyrinth. Northa knows that Setsuna would betray her, but she used her as a decoy to trap the Cures in the mansion so they fight each other in an illusion making mist. After that plan fails, Northa transforms the Fuko Gauge into a gigantic Sorewatase to fight the Cures. However, she 'wants' it to be destroyed, so the Despair Energy would infect the citizens of Clover Town. Unfortunately, Chiffon's power prevents even that plan.
  • The Dreaded: To the cures and to the other generals ! Especially Eas who freaks out because of her mere presence.
  • Evil Genius: Though, the role is actually given to Souler, Northa's plans are even more vicious and cleverer.
  • For the Evulz: Even if she claims she does everything for Moebius, she finds the despair of humans delicious personally, not just for growing Sorewatase monsters.
  • Fusion Dance: With Klein into a Flash Steping, Kamehame Hadokening, demon-dragon-plant-man.
  • Green Thumb: Despite being a Walking Wasteland, her abilities are plant-focused.
  • Hellish Pupils: And they are golden.
  • The Irredeemable Exception: The only agent that never betrays Moebius and is killed in battle by the Pretty Cures.
  • Knight of Cerebus: Once she arrives, things get really hard for the Precures. Northa also isn't one to dispense humor and her tactics are just plain cruel.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Subverted and Justified since It wasn't - entirely - her fault and she - most likely - had no idea about the conversation between Love and Chiffon, but in episode 36 if her Sorewatase wouldn't have knocked the acorns from the tree, then Chiffon would'e been too scared to use her powers to give Pretty Cure power so they can defeat the monster, and since they were almost powerless against it, she would have won.
  • One-Winged Angel: When transforming into a gigantic plant monster, a Sorewatase.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: In her Sorewatase form.
  • Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: She never appears in any of the promotional material or merchandising, but that's just because she doesn't really get any screen time until episode 36.
  • Slasher Smile: A trait of hers, a good hint that she's worse than Westar and Soular.
  • This Was Her True Form: She reverts to a plant bulb upon her final defeat.
  • Walking Wasteland: Minor example. Grasses rot wherever she steps.

A small, middle-aged man who work as Moebius's secretary and assistant. He never shows up to fight the Pretty Cures until the Grand Finale.
  • Artificial Human: Created by Moebius by using a lizard DNA.

  • Evil Old Folks: He's a middle-aged man and works with the antagonists.
  • Fusion Dance: With Northa, see above.
  • Lightning Bruiser: He has the greatest physical strength and he is the fastest member.
  • The Handler: He gives their missions to the other generals.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: He doesn't seem like he can fight. But when he does, he trounces the Pretty Cure.
  • Punny Name: Klein is German for "small/little". He is shorter than the other Labyrinth villains, but he can transform into a large sized humanoid lizard monster. But compared to Northa's monster form, he looks like a little lizard.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: In his monster form.
  • Scaled Up: He can transform into a big dragon-like, humanoid lizard monster. He even fuses with Northa to become a affeminate dragon.
  • Theme Naming: A "Klein Bottle" is a shape that theoretically exists in more than three dimensions, much like a Moebius strip (see the pattern?).
  • This Was His True Form: He reverts into a dead tiny lizard.
  • Villain Teleportation: Despite it's a common ability of Precure villains, Klein is the only Labyrinth agent with this ability.
