Splash Star Pretty Cure
Tropes applying to both
- Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Both Saki and Mai heavily contrasts to Nagisa and Honoka, the Cure duo from Futari wa Pretty Cure and its sequel MaX.
- Just like the previous season's Cures, both Saki and Mai have to be altogether to transform and perform their attacks. While both Nagisa and Honoka's attacks as Cures Black and White are solely focusing on straightly defeating the Monsters of the Week, Saki and Mai's attacks often focus on purification rather than straightforwardly defeating them, which is a trend that would become more prevalent in the next seasons. Both Nagisa and Honoka use offensive, physical attacks in battle, whereas Saki and Mai aligned more on magical attacks. While both Nagisa and Honoka only have one Cure alter ego, Saki and Mai later earned another Cure alter ego (Bright and Windy) besides their original Cure alter egos (Bloom and Egret).
- Before becoming Pretty Cures, both Nagisa and Honoka were virtually strangers to both each other who had nothing in common. On the other hand, Saki and Mai firstly met five years prior to the events of Splash Star, which happened after minions of the Dark Fall attacked both Flappy and Choppy and had reunited against her in the present when they were chosen to be Cures.
- Theme Naming: The names for the Splash Star Cures heavily relates to flowers, birds, winds and moons, like its main theme. Saki's full name translates to "sunny place" in line to her theme of flowers (Bloom) and the Moon (Bright), while Mai's full name translates to "soaring beauty" in line to her theme of birds (Egret) and wind (Windy).

One of the Pretty Cure duo who met Mai Mishou five years prior. Much later, she would meet Mai again when they are suddenly attacked by Dark Fall's forces. Resolving to protect two mascots who appeared to her and Mai five years ago, she gains the power to become Cure Bloom to save the Land of Fountains and protect the Fountain of the Sun. Later in the show, she gains the power to become Cure Bright through Moop's power.
- Big Ol' Eyebrows: Saki has interestingly drawn eyebrows that make hers look thicker than other characters, both in the series and compared to other characters from the entire franchise. Her eyebrows are quite distracting for many fans; the source of that "I want to lick Not-Nagisa's salty eyebrows" meme.
- Boyish Short Hair: While not in her Cure form, she has short slicked-back hair which goes with her athletic personality.
- Character Catchphrase: "I'm in top form!"note Looks like she inherits it from her mother.
- Cool Big Sis: In contrast to Nagisa who always argues with her brother Ryota, Saki really loves her little sister Minori. They even share the same bedroom.
- Contrasting Sequel Main Character: While she has some commonalities to her predecessor Nagisa Misumi, who is her Expy, Saki is very different to Nagisa in many ways.
- Both are energetic and tomboyish Genki Girls who both have orange short hair. While Nagisa is very Hot-Blooded who is exciteable with the tip of a hat, Saki is virtually goofier and much less so Hot-Blooded than Nagisa. Their appearances as Cure also contrasts. Nagisa, as Cure Black, wears black-coloured clothing and her hair length is virtually the same as her non-Cure form. Saki, as Cure Bloom/Cure Bright, has a much longer hair as both Cure Bloom and Bright and wears brighter-coloured clothing, with shades of pink as Cure Bloom and yellow as Cure Bright. While Nagisa initially goes against being a Pretty Cure who clinged for a normal life instead, Saki easily accepts the said opportunity to be a Cure.
- Their relationship to their siblings contrasts. While Nagisa has shown to be often annoyed by her brother Ryota's antics, Saki is a Cool Big Sis who dearly loves her sister Minori, where she even shared the same bedroom with her. Their commonalities to the other Cure also differs. In Nagisa's case, she has no commonality to Honoka whatsoever before becoming a Pretty Cure. By contrast, Saki has known Mai through a rather not-so-coincidental meeting five years ago before the events of the series, after the Dark Fall's forces attacked the series' main mascots Flappy and Choppy.
- Curtains Match the Window: Brown hair and brown eyes.
- Dub Name Change: In the Taiwanese Mandarin dub, her first name becomes "Aoi" (transcribed as 葵) and her cure names becomes Cure Flower and Cure Moon.
- Expy: Just like Nagisa, she's an energetic tomboy with short orange hair, who at first has virtually nothing in common with the other lead. That said, even from the start Saki is somewhat goofier and less Hot-Blooded than Nagisa, and she comes into her own as a character over the course of the season.
- Genki Girl: Highly energetic, cheerful and sporty.
- Good Cannot Comprehend Evil: Just like Akudaikahn that can't take the fact he creates life well, Saki just simply can't understand Dark Fall's ideology. Raised in a household that recognizes life in everything, destroying only for the sake of it doesn't sit well with her because for her, life is just too precious.
- Light 'em Up: As Cure Bright.
- Locked Out of the Loop: She's the only one of the two duos that has no idea or has suspicion that Kaoru and Michiru are Dark Fall warriors. But it's because of that, she had no doubt on each other's intentions note , only seeing her friends as awkward, but kind-hearted people.
- Malaproper: Whenever Shitataare is involved, often with hilarious results thanks to mispronouncing her name. She does the same to Karehaan too, calling him "curry pan".
- Meaningful Name: "Saki" comes from the Japanese verb "saku", meaning "to bloom", while "Hyuuga" can be translated as "facing the sun".
- Playful Cat Smile: Saki has a distinctive broad smile which frequently dips upward in the middle, giving her a cat-like expression. She's an optimistic Genki Girl at heart.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: Just like Nagisa, she's the energetic jock Tomboy to Mai's calm and intellectual Girly Girl.
- Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Off the sports field, she generally wears skirts. She also likes cute accessories, and often wears pink.
- Trope Maker: Hyuuga Saki is very much an Expy to Misumi Nagisa.
Serial Numbers Filed Off would be a more apt trope and had they not been made by the same company, there might have been legal issues. But as Cure Bloom, she has an almost entirely pink outfit which paves the way for every single succeeding Pretty Cure Pink Heroine (with two exceptions) having a pink outfit and/or pink hair.
Mai Mishou (Cure Egret/Cure Windy)

Cure Egret

Click here to see Mai in PreCure Full Bloom
"The sparkling silver wing, Cure Egret!" / "The scented wind across the Earth, Cure Windy!"
A girl who met Saki five years ago at the Sky Tree during a festival. She moved back to Saki's hometown later and reunited with Saki at the same place. Resolving to protect Choppy and Flappy who appeared to her alongside her friend, she gains the power to become Cure Egret and save the Land of Fountains and protect the Fountain of the Sun. Later in the show, she gains the power to become Cure Windy through Foop's power.
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: It's not so much that she lacks focus; she has too much focus on things that tickle her fancy, usually her drawings, and it's difficult to distract her out of that. Choppy has to physically shake her out of her trance if that happens. Despite the trope, in the real world this kind of hyperfocus is actually quite common in certain presentations of ADHD and similar conditions.
- Blow You Away: As Cure Windy, her powers focus on using wind.
- Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Mai is different to her immediate predecessor Honoka Yukishiro, despite being her Expy.
- Both are the Foil to the lead Cure, being academically talented and are serving as the smart half of the Cure duo. Though the similarities end here in terms of their individual characterisation. Honoka is technical and intellectual who solves problems analytically and heavily has fascination towards science, while Mai is creative and artistic who inclines mostly to art and drawings; though, just like Honoka she has fascinations to science, due to her parents being scientists.
- Honoka is driven towards her passion, being even brutally honest and strict about it and can come off as forceful or scary towards others for their laziness. Mai is much more relaxed and serene towards her passions, seeing how it has deep meanings to her and later drawing them heavily from inspiration. Honoka has some very tomboyish moments besides being a girly girl, while Mai is much more feminine in demeanour and appearance. Whereas Honoka lives at a Big Fancy House that makes her a rich person, Mai lives at a normal household with a more average life with her family.
- Curtains Match the Window: Purple hair, purple eyes.
- Dub Name Change: Her cure name becomes Cure Dance in the Taiwanese Mandarin dub.
- Expy: Just like Honoka, she's a calm studious girl with long dark hair who at first has little in common with her Cure partner. Unlike Honoka, she's artistic and sensitive rather than intellectual, although she seems fairly well-read and her marks are generally good.
- Forehead of Doom: Her forehead is much more prominent than Saki's.
- Hyper-Awareness: This girl practically has a photographic memory and good eyes to notice that two people flying under moonlight hundred meters away are her classmates.
- The Klutz: Not her, but her mother. She's an archaeologist that often has sleep attack in the middle of doing something because she's losing sleep from her work. Mai usually is the one who bears the brunt of the damage of her shattered plates and scattered papers.
- Last-Name Basis: She calls everyone except Saki and the Kiryuu sisters with (Last name)-san. The only reason she calls Michiru and Kaoru with their given names is because their surname is the same.
- Little Sister Heroine: Subtle, but it's implied that Mai becomes more responsible and well-mannered than her somewhat indecisive older brother because in the past she used to be an Annoying Younger Sibling. She bonds with Minori because of their shared adoration toward their older sibling and desire to shed said Annoying Younger Sibling stigma for sake of said adoration.
- Meaningful Name: In Japanese "Mishou" is written with the characters for "beauty" and "fly". "Mai" translates to dance, but it can also refer to the fluttering of a bird's wings.
- New Transfer Student: In Episode 1; unique in that she's transferring to come back to her homeland.
- Nice Gal: Soft-spoken, well-mannered, and non-confrontational. She's loyal to her friends to the point of Can't Spit It Out when she saw Michiru and Kaoru as Dark Fall warriors because she can only see them as friends and she is unsure whether telling Saki is a right choice for their friendship.
- Pacifist Wind: Mai Mishou as Cure Windy, has wind magic that allows her to fly, fight with wind magic, and has overall improved agility. She has a gentle, soft-spoken, and non-confrontational personality to go along with her Sensitive Artist characterization. This is to provide contrast between her and Saki, her Genki Girl partner for the series in a Energetic and Soft-Spoken Duo.
- Sensitive Artist: Mai is a calm, gentle, and kind young girl, in contrast to her friend and Pretty Cure partner, Genki Girl Saki Hyuuga. Her intuitiveness seems to be part of the reason why she was able to know that the two people flying in the distance under the moonlight were her two classmates from hundreds of meters away. She loves art and joins the Art Club in school, where her art becomes so well regarded that she is asked to design the school's monument later on.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: She's the artistic studious Girly Girl to Saki's athletic Tomboy.

- Non-Human Sidekick: An adorable critter from the Land of Fountains who tags along with Saki.

Voiced by: Yuriko Fuchizaki [Moop], Akemi Okamura [Foop] (Japanese) Foreign VAs
Moop
Foop
Two mascots who appear later to aid Saki and Mai against Dark Fall and give them the power to become Cure Bright and Cure Windy respectively.- And You Were There: They
share voice actors with Michiru and Kaoru. - Annoying Younger Sibling: Especially to Flappy.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: Their borderline Undying Loyalty and insistence to save Michiru and Kaoru from the Dark Fall, even though they are directly responsible for the destruction of their Fountain, is because the twins saved them from a falling tree, spared their lives, and allowed them to keep staying in the Fountain even though their job includes fairy-killing, long before their Heel–Face Turn.
- Blow You Away: Foop's powers is over wind.
- Blush Stickers: They both have oval-shaped blushies on their faces.
- Lunacy: Moop's powers is based on the moon.

- Prim and Proper Bun: Her hairstyle is a tightly-pulled pink bun.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Gentle to her subjects and nature spirits and knows how to reward Saki and Mai.
Dark Fall
Uzaina
Voiced by: Hideo Watanabe (Japanese)
The monsters Akudaikahn's generals summon, made from a ghostly spirit possessing an object. Once purified the spirits from the Land of Fountains are freed. They usually take on the element the general has power over.- Animate Inanimate Object: Just like the Zakennas before them, they can possess objects and look like them when they attack.
- Dishing Out Dirt: Dorodoron's Uzainas usually are based on earth, or objects found on ground or under the ground. They can thus deal attacks based on dirt and earth.
- Extra-ore-dinary: Kintolesky's monsters have their powers and appearance based on metal or metallic objects.
- Making a Splash: Mizu Shitataare's Uzainas usually are based on water or water sources such as a faucet. As such, they can deal attacks based on water.
- Meaningful Name: Their name is taken from "uzainā", a Japanese word which translates to "it's annoying".
- Monster of the Week: They're the second set of monsters who terrorize the Land of Greenery in the franchise.
- Rock Monster: Some of Dorodoron's monsters are based on rocks found on the ground or under it.
- When Trees Attack: Karehan's first Uzaina possesses a tree, turning it into a monstrous, mobile tree.
Karehan
Voiced by: Isshin Chiba (Japanese) Foreign VAs
The first general of Dark Fall to appear. He represents wood and is very serious about his job.
- Came Back Strong: After Gooyan steals the Fairy Charafe, he is revived with Gooyan's mark and far more strength than when the Cures first confronted him.
- The Comically Serious: This guy is almost no-nonsense, except regarding his nickname Karecchi. He allows almost everyone to call him that.
- Enemy Mine: He dislikes Moerumba (mostly because their elements are incompatible and Moerumba rubs him the wrong way), but when it comes to fighting Precure, the combination is simply devastating. The Cures only manage to survive because when victory is almost assured, Karehan and Moerumba start fighting again, forcing Gohyan to retreat them both.
- The Generic Guy: He lacks the personality quirks of the other warriors.
- Green Thumb: His powers revolve around wood.
- Meaningful Name: "Kareha" means "dead leaves".
Moerumba
Voiced by: Keiichi Nanba (Japanese) Foreign VAs
The second general of Dark Fall to appear. He represents fire and enjoys dancing and partying.
- Ambiguously Gay: He seems to be hitting on Karehan after their revival, though it might have been just to mess with him.
- Came Back Strong: He is revived alongside Karehan with more strength. They even did a Combination Attack to overpower the Pretty Cure.
- Dance Battler: He often dances and snaps his fingers in battle with the Cures.
- Gratuitous Spanish: "Senorita!"
- Kick the Dog: Following too many failures, he threatens to harm Choppy and Flappy into revealing the Fountain of the Sun's location in front of Saki and Mai.
- Laughably Evil: This guy really is fun to watch on screen, even if he is the bad guy.
- Leeroy Jenkins: Basically his Fatal Flaw; he's too impatient to attack strategically (even Kintolesky is better at this than him), using two Uzaina at once to overwhelm the girls in his arc's last episode. As warriors of Dark Fall die from using up all their Miracle Drops to make Uzainas and taking too much damage, this is an incredibly stupid move as the Cures' finisher is Twin Stream Splash... and this happens again when Gohyan resurrects all the generals. He's such a glory seeker that he ignores Kintolesky's warning and charges head on to his seemingly defeated opponents, only to get blasted at point blank twice.
- Meaningful Name: "Moeru" means burn, while rumba is self-explanatory.
- Playing with Fire: His powers revolve around fire.
- Sissy Villain: He has a feminine vibe to his character.
- Verbal Tic: Likes to say "Cha Cha" at the end of his sentences.
Dorodoron
Voiced by: Mitsuo Iwata (Japanese) Foreign VAs
The third general of Dark Fall to appear. He represents earth and is rather bad at his job.
- Came Back Strong: Was revived with the other generals, with Gooyan's mark and more strength than the last time he confronted Saki and Mai. He and Karehan even nearly defeated the duo until Michiru and Kaoru intervened!
- Dishing Out Dirt: His powers are based on earth.
- Dirty Coward: In the final arc, when the Cures are about to use their final attack on him and Karehan, he proceeds to flee and leaves Karehan to die, which Karehan even notes in his final words.
- Dumb Muscle: You thought Gekidrago was stupid? This guy’s even dumber!
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: He rarely ever gets any success against Pretty Cure.
- Meaningful Name: "Doro" means dirt.
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: When he merged with an Uzaina in Episode 20, he made it easier for the Precures to defeat him because it was more difficult for him to keep his balance in that form. That was also the last time he got to fight the Cures until the final arc, as he died moments afterwards.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: Despite being actually not so competent, he almost defeats the Precures, but Michiru and Kaoru secretly saves them.
- Shrinking Violet: He's a bit of a coward when it comes to fighting.
- Simpleton Voice: He sounds very much like a Japanese-speaking version of Grounder from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
- Super Mode: He merges with an Uzaina for his final battle.

Two girls who are Akudaikahn's children.
- 11th-Hour Superpower: They gain Moop and Foop's powers of the wind and the moon during the Cures' final battle with Gooyan.
- Artificial Human: Unlike the other members of Dark Fall, who were constructed from their element, Akudaikahn created the Kiryuu sisters whole cloth.
- Big Damn Heroes: In episode 42, they are reborn and appear in front of Precure to protect them from the also reborn Dorodoron and Karehaan.
- Blank Slate: Much of their development comes from being exposed to the human world, and, of course, friendship.
- The Bus Came Back: They appeared in Power of Hope ~PreCure Full Bloom~, 16 years after the conclusion of their home series. While they are The Ghost in the first eight episodes, Episode 9 marks their first real on-screen appearance.
- Convenient Coma: Following the Final Boss Preview with Akudaikhan, they were placed in limbo until they responded and returned to Saki and Mai to help them against Dark Fall.
- Creepy Twins: They're twin sisters who are working for the villains.
- Curtains Match the Window: Blue hair and eyes for Kaoru, red for Michiru.
- Dark Magical Girl: They possess powers to fight the Pretty Cure and they're working for the villains.
- Disney Death: First when Akudaikahn whacks them out as they help Saki and Mai escape and the second right after they defeat Gooyan.
- Demoted to Extra: Despite being so important in the series, they only earned a small cameo in Pretty Cure All Stars, while the second upgrades it to around three lines of dialogue. Averted in PreCure Full Bloom when they play a role in helping the Yes! team out by locating the Shadows across the city as the VTubers Dark Night Light.
- Emotionless Girl: Kaoru doesn't show much emotion at first.
- Empty Eyes: Not as dull of a color as most other examples, but there is a sense of lifelessness in their eyes. It's worse when they fight the Cures, as it makes them look inhuman. The glossy look slowly disappears as they make their Heel–Face Turn bit by bit until the eyes are completely normal-looking at the last few episodes.
- Evil Redhead: Michiru has reddish-maroon hair and is working with Dark Fall to defeat the Cures. At first, anyway.
- Forehead of Doom: Kaoru has a large forehead.
- Heel–Face Turn: Due to their friendship with Saki and Mai, they help them against Akudaikhan and end up getting sealed away and placed into a coma. Once revived, they both cast their lot with Saki and Mai against Dark Fall.
- Heroic Sacrifice: At the end of the Final Boss Preview against Akudaikahn, they undergo this when they save the Cures by sending them away from Dark Fall. It turns out they didn't die, but were sealed away.
- Licked by the Dog: Minori takes a liking to Kaoru, and calls her Kaoru-oneesan. Kaoru feels ambivalent towards her.
- Meaningful Name: "Kiryuu" is written with the character for "fog" and another character that means "life" or "birth". Michiru means "to be full" as in a full moon, while Kaoru means "fragrance".
- No Body Left Behind: They very nearly become this.
- No Social Skills: Obviously justified, what with their origins and all. They grow out of this.
- Pacifist Wind: Downplayed. Though Kaoru doesn't start the story with any wind association and exhibits much more of a cold, detached Brutal Honesty personality for most of the story. However, when her and her twin sister Michiru are forced to fight Saki and Mai, whereas her Michiru on a denial fuelled rage, Kaoru realizes that fighting Saki and Mai isn't right, calms Michiru down to avoid doing so, and reconciles with Saki and Mai. Soon after, Kaoru acquires the ability to transform into Cure Windy.
- Pet the Dog: Saving and sparing Moop and Fuup's lives, Kaoru towards Minori and a minor instance of her helping a snail get back up on a leaf.
- Pure Magic Being: They are made from "the power of destruction", which leads to problems when they turn against Dark Fall - if the power of destruction vanishes, so do they. When they do begin to vanish, they're saved by the spirits of the Earth, and the Power of Friendship.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Their personalities match their hair colors. The blue-haired Kaoru is calmer and more rational than the red-haired Michiru who is more obviously emotional.
- Ret-Gone: Everybody but Saki, Mai and the mascots forget that they ever existed after they disappear.
- Sibling Yin-Yang: Exist in subverted archetypes; Michiru might be the friendlier of the two but she's actually a Stepford Smiler who doesn't understand the reason of such novelties, while Kaoru is more prone of Brutal Honesty because she's insightful of her surrounding and doesn't see the point of faking her concern. Then they play it straight; when they face their inevitable fight with the Cures, Michiru quickly despairs and goes into a berserk denial, while Kaoru notices that fighting is not something that they want, makes peace with her contradicting existence and stops her sister.
- Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: They only appear briefly in the second ending credits sequence.
- Super-Intelligence: At one point they say they can read a school textbook once and remember it all.
- Villainous Rescue: Helping Precure in their last fight against Dorodoron by cutting his web that has tied them up.
- Virtual YouTuber: In the spin-off sequel Power of Hope ~PreCure Full Bloom~ both of them are revealed to have started Dark Night Light, their own video channel, as they became famous internet celebrities.
Mizu Shitataare
Voiced by: Naoko Matsui (Japanese) Foreign VAs
The fourth general of Dark Fall to appear. She represents water and is the only female of the five generals.
- Accidental Misnaming: Saki doesn't ever remember her name correctly and calls her "Hanamizu Taare". "Hanamizu" is Japanese for "runny nose".
- Anime Hair: She has silver hair styled into a beehive with drill-like curls falling at both sides.
- Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: She has water powers and wears a blue dress with the addition of marabou down feather trimming, making her sleeves and skirt resemble waterfalls.
- Berserk Button: She always gets angry at Saki for getting her name wrong.
- Enemy Mine: The reason why she invokes I Was Just Passing Through, Thinking Out Loud, and open a portal directly into Gooyan's lair; she's so furious that Gooyan is one step away from her by capturing Flappy and Choppy, she decides to help the Cures reclaim their fairies.
- High Collar of Doom: She's a villain and wears a dress with a high collar.
- Ice Magic Is Water: Her water powers extend to manipulating ice.
- Inferiority Superiority Complex: She seems to compete with Kintolesky for the title of Dark Fall's strongest, and being constantly one-upped by both him and the Cures really gets into her skin. Her interaction with the Cures really gets into It's Personal territory because of this reason, with both sides are not only physically clashing but also taunting psychologically and exchanging trash-talk.
- Kick the Dog: Taunting Mai and Saki via reminding them of Kaoru and Michiru's Fate Worse than Death.
- Lady of War: Ignoring her personality, she's actually a quite graceful fighter. She opts to dodge any attack with twirling motions and redirects physical attacks with her hands, not unlike Cure Egret herself. Most visible in DX 2, when she dodges Prism Chain with a simple twirl before charging at Precure 5 team, while Moerumba jumps away from the attack before it connects.
- Laughably Evil: She's not as silly as Moerumba, but she's very funny at times.

Kintolesky
Voiced by: Jurota Kosugi (Japanese) Foreign VAs
The fifth and final general to appear. He represents metal and is a bodybuilder who enjoys fighting strong opponents.
- Blood Knight: He enjoys fighting strong opponents, whether they be the Pretty Cure or the defecting Kiryuu Sisters.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: Due to his Blood Knight tendencies. Early on he even says Earth isn't so bad, but he simply does not comprehend that not everyone likes fighting, or that there are more important things than victory.
- Dumb Muscle: A subversion. He's not stupid, but he dislikes using strategy. In fact the first time he tries using strategy he steals Saki's school festival costume, uses it to surprise Mai...and that's it. He even admits he didn't see the point. But this doesn't stop him from using Reverse Psychology later on to lure Saki and Mai into a trap.
- Extra-ore-dinary: His Elemental Powers allow him to control metal.
- Genius Bruiser: He's a strong guy who's also quite smart even though he doesn't like using strategy.

- Meaningful Name: "Kin" is Japanese for gold, "kintore" is an abbreviation of "muscle training", and "suki" means "like" (As in "I like muscle training")
- Minion Shipping: With Shitataare.
- Noble Demon: Despite being evil, he always keeps his word and is above acts of petty villainy.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: He often wears a jacket when out among the humans, yet no one seems to notice his yellow skin.
- Super Mode: In his final battle, he gets even more swole and does even more damage.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Only his human disguise has him wearing clothes, which just an added hoodie and Santa costume in the Christmas episode.
- Worthy Opponent: All he wants out of the Cures is a fair fight, and he complements them when they finally give it to him.
Lord Akudaikahn
Voiced by: Takayuki Godai (Japanese) Foreign VAs
The leader of Dark Fall who desires the power of the Land of Fountains to conquer the World Tree.
- Abusive Father: Sending your daughters-except-in-name into Fate Worse than Death at the bottom of a lake after you blasted the hell out of them when they weren't fighting back really grants you the title, Akudaikahn.
- Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: He is a contrast to the Evil King from Futari wa Pretty Cure. Both are the rulers of their own evil organisations. While the Evil King is the true ruler of the Dusk Zone who is the one calling the shots, Akudaikan is revealed to be Goyan's creation where he is revealed to be the real ruler of Dark Fall, with Goyan actually doing the real work behind the scenes.
- Disc-One Final Boss: He's the last villain the Pretty Cure must confront...or so it seems.

- Large and in Charge: When he finally stands up, he destroys the Dark Fall headquarter.

- Omnicidal Maniac: He really wants to end all life. But so does his true master…
- Orcus on His Throne: Bonus points for there being a literal throne.
- Psycho Electro: During battle, he uses lighting bolts on the Cures.
- Sinister Silhouettes: A subversion in that he really is a giant, shadowy figure. Given that his Soul Jar is a fire, he might be a Living Shadow.
- Soul Jar: It turns out to be an ever-burning fire. When Gooyan snuffs it out, he dies.
- Super-Toughness: In their first confrontation with him, Bloom and Egret try to physically attack him. They end up only hurting their own limbs. He also can No-Sell Twin Stream Splash without much fuss, claiming that he didn't even use half of his power.
- Truly Single Parent: At one point the Cures note that he's basically the Kiryuu sisters' father.
- Unwitting Pawn: He's actually Gooyan's Puppet King as part of the latter's plan to destroy the universe.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Once it becomes clear to Gooyan that he can no longer stop the Cures, Gooyan decides to snuff out his fire.
Gooyan
Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa (Japanese) Foreign VAs
Click here to see his true form.
A little imp who serves Akudaikahn. However, there may be more to him than just being there and looking silly...
- Barely-Changed Dub Name: His name is shortend as Gooya in the Taiwanese Mandarin dub.
- Big Bad: The true leader of Dark Fall who wants to destroy everything in the universe and the Final Boss the heroes must confront.
- Bishōnen Line: Gooyan looks like a goblin at first. His true form wouldn't be too out of place in Dragon Ball Z
- Casting a Shadow: When he goes all out against the heroines, he can make an Unrealistic Black Hole and/or initiate darkness-based attacks to destroy everything and go blow-for-blow with the Cures.
- Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: To Baldez from Futari wa Pretty Cure MaX Heart. Both are the main antagonists of their respective series. While Baldez is the leader of the Dusk Zone who is actually the true reincarnation of the Evil King and is a threat to the Cures, Goyan is an ancient being and the creator of Akudaikan, who is really the one behind the scenes in the past 48 episodes to initiate his plan of destroying both the Land of Fountain and Earth, as well as the World Tree. Both are the Final Bosses of their series as a One-Winged Angel. Heavily contrasting to this is Baldez takes form of the Evil King, while Goyan has its own true form not derived from a Predecessor Villain or a Greater-Scope Villain. Baldez is stern and imposing who is often soft-spoken but has some moments of temper. Goyan is a mischievous, abusive provoker where he is virtually not respected by his lackeys, particularly Karehan, within the organisation.
- Creepy Monotone: Does a bit of this in his true form.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Don't let his silly antics fool you. He's, in reality, a destructive being who orchestrated the creation of the Dark Fall by creating Akudaikan so that he can initiate his destruction of the universe as a whole. He's much more powerful than he looks, especially with his true form.
- Eldritch Abomination: He apparently existed before the universe and possesses powers capable of destroying everything. His final form's kinda humanoid, though it's a little unsettling.
- Faux Affably Evil: He always speaks politely even after the reveal. He taunts, he shatters morale, he destroys, all the while maintaining a polite persona. When his true form is shown, he might have forgone the Japanese Honorifics, but his language is even more archaic and soft-spoken. He also becomes emotionless and more callous towards everything, including his Dark Fall.
- Flash Step: He frequently moves around in a flash to pummel everyone during the final battle.
- Inconsistent Spelling: His name can also be spelt as "Goyan" or "Gohyan".
- Laughably Evil: He's a sly imp who is known to be mischievous, even engaging in silly antics to his other Dark Fall members. He's simply hiding his true nature as a world destroyer, whose laughable evil moments truly make him a much worse villain to begin with.
- Lean and Mean: As a villain and the Big Bad Gooyan is smaller than the rest of Dark Fall's other minions.
- Large and in Charge: Although it is revealed that this is not the case at all. He's the true leader of Dark Fall and his true form is a much taller, muscular humanoid towering the Cures during his battle with them in the Grand Finale.
- Man Behind the Man: He made Akudaikahn.
- Meaningful Name: "Goya" is a kind of melon. It may also be a reference to "Echigo-ya", a Japanese 17th century merchant group, which would evoke the "dishonest merchant" archetype in Jidaigeki.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: It's noted about mid-series that he's much more powerful than he looks. And then he turns out to be the Big Bad...
- Omnicidal Maniac: He intends to destroy the Land of Fountains, Earth and the entire universe.
- One-Winged Angel: His true form is a stronger, hulking, muscular humanoid brute with enough strength to survive anything thrown at him, destroy the world and bash the heroines around with ease.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: In a few episodes. It's surprising no one catches onto his skin color.
- Sphere of Destruction: His Unrealistic Black Hole is able to destroy the whole world.
- Taking You with Me: Tries to drag Saki and Mai into the resulting implosion after getting hit and slowly killed by the four heroines' Spiral Heart Splash Star. Kaoru and Michiru grab the two before they get dragged in and the girls endure long enough for Gooyan to get wiped out by the attack.
- Time Abyss: He remembers the universe before the Big Bang happens, thus he's older than any life form on Earth had existed.
- Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Gooyan is the show's actual Big Bad, being an utterly vile Omnicidal Maniac in an otherwise lighthearted show.
- World-Wrecking Wave: He throws an Unrealistic Black Hole into the ocean to trash the world during his final battle with the heroines.
