History WMG / GoPrincessPrettyCure

He's the DarkChick of [[FiveManBand Dys Dark]]. It seems legit.

[[WMG: Shut will be the only DysDark member to ''not'' die.]]

Then Cure Scarlet will be wearing pants-boots, where her footwear [[UpToEleven reaches to her waist.]]

* Somehow, this has been both {{Jossed}} and confirmed, depending on how losely you want to interpret the term royalty. On a surface level, it's entirely Jossed; the only actual royalty in this season is [[spoiler:Kanata and Towa, the later of which becomes Scarlet]]. However, both Kirara and Minami seek to follow in their parent's footsteps in some way, which is obviously symbolism.

Except this time both of them will be benevolent (unlike [[spoiler:Yuri and Dark Pretty Cure]]) and on the main team (unlike Iona and Maria).

* Jossed. [[spoiler:The fourth Cure is Towa formerly known as Twilight.]]

* Speaking about jokes, maybe Dyspear's true identity is actually [[spoiler: [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Kawarino]] in drag]]. Their goals are the same and maybe he learned to inflict despair by himself instead of relying on BigBad.

* Confirmed[[spoiler: at first, but ultimately jossed; she's been brainwashed into thinking she's Dyspear's daughter]].

* Kinda? [[spoiler: But the ending is uncertain.]]

* Episode 20 reveals that Kanata's sister is [[spoiler: Twilight]], not [[spoiler: Dyspear]].

* Jossed big time. [[spoiler: She quite literally is the personification of despair.]]

* This will most likely happen. Since [[spoiler: Towa's]] Dress Up Keys aren't part of the original 12, the REAL last three could belong to the fifth Cure.
* Seems pretty unlikely as of episode 28. [[spoiler:Towa's gotten a fourth key that also doesn't appear to be part of the origial twelve. Combine that with the preview for episode 29, and it definitely seems like each Cure will end up with 4 keys each.]]
** And now that episode 29 is out, [[spoiler:it has been confirmed that all of the Cures now have 4 Keys each. While a fifth Cure isn't out of the question, it certainly doesn't look likely.]]

* As [[spoiler: Close died at the end of episode 11]], this WMG might be jossed.
* Still a possibility as of episode 30. [[spoiler:Close is apparently back from the looks of the episode 31 preview. And Lock's defeat, which looked incredibly deadly, actually left a body, meaning that he could still be alive.]]
* Confirmed for [[spoiler: Lock/Kuroro]]. He used to be a fairy from the Hope Kingdom but was somehow brought over to Dyspear's side.
** More details about [[spoiler:Kuroro]] in episode 40. [[spoiler:It seems as though the personality that we knew as "Lock" took control of Kuroro against his will. So, "Lock" really IS dead after all and wasn't originally a Hope Kingdom subject.]]

* Fully confirmed in episode 30. [[spoiler:With the new accessory, they can use their fourth keys to give them a different type of Mode Elegant, which changes their entire costume rather than just adding to it.]]

* [[spoiler:Confirmed by the looks of the episode 31 preview.]]

** Jossed. [[spoiler:Minami's mother is very much alive and Minami's on pretty good terms with her]]

* [[spoiler: Jossed. She used to be a little girl named Towa, the princess of Hope Kingdom and Kanata's sister but she found her perfume after FaceHeelTurn.]]

* [[spoiler: Episode 20 confirms both this WMG and a similar one below; Twilight is Kanata's younger sister]].

* [[spoiler:Confirmed as of Episode 20.]]

* If we count how he [[spoiler:stole Flora's, Mermaid's, and Twinkle's keys and attempted to take over Dys Dark in Dyspear's absence]], confirmed.
* Episode 33 partially focuses on him, [[spoiler: who is now Kuroro.]]
* The above doesn't count, as [[spoiler:Lock was some parasite thing that took over Kuroro's body, so that episode actually ''didn't'' focus on Lock]].

* Could go either way as of episode 30. [[spoiler:He attempted to take over Dys Dark in Dyspear's absence, with the Cures defeating him in the process. While his "death" scene looked every bit as deadly as Close's, we did see his intact body in the aftermath, meaning that he could still be alive. Also, Close is back by the looks of the episode 31 preview.]]
* Jossed, [[spoiler:he resumes his original form as Kuroro.]]
* Confirmed, actually. [[spoiler:The "Lock" we all knew was originally a servant of Dyspear who took over Kuroro's body. So, it looks like the Cures really did kill "Lock" in episode 30 after all.]]
* And our final answer is Jossed. [[spoiler:Lock barely survived the Cures' attack on him in episode 30, and Dyspear kept him around for one final fight in episode 48. He's been freed from her control and has united with Kuroro (willingly, this time) to fight against her.]]

* Jossed. [[spoiler:No new villains appeared after Close's defeat apart from Twilight until Stop and Freeze (which was a long time after Close's defeat), and they debuted at the same time Close returned.]]

* Confirmed in episode 30. [[spoiler:Although all four of them use their new fourth keys instead of their transformation keys.]]
* Addendum: [[spoiler:Near the end of the series, they each get to reactivate a castle in Hope Kingdom by using all four of their personal keys in the Music Princess Palace.]]

* Jossed, [[spoiler:because her relationship with Dyspear wasn't real in the first place.]]

* [[spoiler:Kanata had told her to stop chasing her dream when she expected his reassurance in episode 38, so it may follow up in the next episode.]]

* Actually, it looks like [[spoiler:Twilight/Towa ''is'' the Princess in question, being the one who got kidnapped by the evil witch. The bird question... well if the plot goes, it might hint into 'Aroma. Maybe he got a little jealous and subconsciously influenced Towa to work harder and that awakened Dyspear. Aroma probably felt utterly horrible about it, but he still kept it hidden until now.]]

* [[spoiler:Confirmed as of Episode 20]].

* Not terribly likely, seeing as [[spoiler:Twilight is actually Kanata's little sister and Twilight isn't actually Dyspear's daughter]].
* Jossed: [[spoiler:Towa's mother and father are separate characters and she was present after she was abducted.]]

[[spoiler: Considering the fact that she found one of the Perfumes at the end of Episode 19. She was drawn to it, but not for good purposes. And based on the preview for Episode 20, it looks like she'll use it.]]
* Somewhat confirmed in Episode 20. Twilight does in fact use the Princess Perfume, [[spoiler: but her new form is clearly not the Cure Scarlet that was shown in the leak]].
* [[spoiler:''However'', Towa, formerly Twilight, ''does'' become Cure Scarlet in Episode 22. Unfortunately for Dyspear, though, she's now on the Cures' side.]]

* [[spoiler:Confirmed fully in Episode 21. She was captured by Dyspear and turned into a Princess of Despair.]]

* Confirmed in the case of [[spoiler:Lock]] but it is still unknown if he was ever training to be a butler.
* Episode 40 actually Josses the above. [[spoiler:Lock was actually a parasite thing that took over Kuroro's body, so he wasn't originally a fairy.]]
* Episode 49 Josses this theory entirely. [[spoiler:Close, Shut and Lock were all born from Dyspear's soul.]]

[[spoiler:Considering the HeroicSacrifice he made to save his sister and the others, it's not entirely impossible that Dyspear will use him to defeat the Cures.]]
* Jossed. [[spoiler:He's back, and apart from some temporary amnesia, he seems fine.]]

Now that [[spoiler:Towa]] is on the side of good, there won't be anyone to power up the Zetsuborgs for Shut or Lock. Dyspear will probably be smart enough to find a replacement. Chances are, she'll [[spoiler:brainwash]] said person.

* [[spoiler:The preview for episode 31 shows Close back in action alongside the two new mystery villains. Not yet confirmed if Dyspear's behind it.]]
* Jossed. [[spoiler:He revived himself.]]
* Actually confirmed, based on what Dyspear said in episode 49; [[spoiler:she specifically says that she was correct in having him be revived.]]

* Jossed, [[spoiler:he just pulls a HeelFaceTurn.]]

* Seems jossed. [[spoiler: The preview for Episode 29 seems to be painting the three girls as the former Princess Pretty Cures.]]
** These facts aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. [[spoiler:The three previous cures could have been some sort of projection, mirage, dream, ghost, or memory that lived on within the Dress-Up keys. We've seen before in Episode 20 that the keys seem to have some sort of independant will that relates to their previous owners. It's possible that [[BigGood they used these powers to create many, many failsafes for the next cures]] [[IJustWantToBeNormal so they could live their everyday lives however they pleased]]. It does raise one question though- where's the third previous Princess Precure...?]]

* Jossed. He just [[spoiler:lost his memories]]

[[WMG: Lock will be the SoleSurvivor of Dys Dark.]]

* Jossed. [[spoiler:He wasn't originally part of Dys Dark to begin with; he was a transformed, brainwashed fairy.]]
* Still Jossed, but not for the reasons above. [[spoiler:He was actually a willing agent of Dys Dark who possessed an innocent fairy (Kuroro), but that means that he ''was'' killed in episode 30.]]
* ''Still'' Jossed, but again for different reasons. [[spoiler:Lock apparently survived episode 30, but is now Dyspear's mind slave. The Cures freed him in episode 48, and in 49 Kuroro willingly joined with him again in order to fight. Since Shut also pulled a HeelFaceTurn, it looks as though both of them will survive.]]

* Jossed. [[spoiler:Not that he didn't try his damnedest to do so.]]

* [[spoiler:Confirmed. Shut gets a BigDamnHeroes moment in Episode 48, by intercepting Close's attack, gives him a punch to the face and openly proclaims that they should break free from Dyspear.]]

Because the last three keys are still gone. Since [[spoiler: Towa's]] keys really were Dyspear's that were purified along with [[spoiler: Towa.]] Thst means three keys, the REAL ones, are somewhere out there. They can't be power-ups since there are four Cures. A fifth Cure is almost bound to happen.
* Also of note, [[spoiler:the former Princes Precures explicitly state that they created the fourth Princess Perfume. Though this is the one Scarlet uses, it means that it's totally within the powers of the Precure to create yet another new one. (Perhaps as a safeguard in case someone's perfume gets stolen or breaks?)]]
* Episode 28 makes this rather unlikely. [[spoiler:Towa's got herself a fourth key that, like her others, seems unrelated to the original 12, and the episode 29 preview definitely makes it look like the other Cures will each get a fourth key of their own.]]
* Episode 29. [[spoiler: Flora, Mermaid, and Twinkle get their fourth keys. Counting the golden key the appears in the opening, and taking into account that the slight changes in the opening, after the golden key disappears, shows 17 balls of light as opposed to the 12 that were in the 1st, there probably won't be a fifth Cure, unless 3-4 new keys appear again out of nowhere, or the 5th Cure does not use any keys at all, which is a possibility given the nature of past series' later Cures, such as Cure Fortune, Cure Ace, etc.]]

See above. She already kind of became an EleventhHourRanger [[spoiler:in a BadassNormal sort of way during the fight against Shut]], so who knows how powerful she'd be. Her color would likely purple or green. I'm betting on purple, based on the color schemes of the other four cures:

As the musketeer's names seem to be loosely based off animals as well as the locking away theme, [[spoiler: Close becoming a crow and Lock becoming a massive frog-dragon type creature]], Shut will possibly turn into a bat, as in katakana, the two words end in a similar manner. シャット vs. バット.

He [[spoiler:never fully died]] and took the form of a crow. He probably stole Shut's despair gauge or Dyspear's and filled it up from Lock's despair at the end of Episode 30 and used it to return to his original form. That would explain [[spoiler:why he's returning in Episode 31.]]

Related to the above WMG that the three previous Princess Precures include Ms Shirogane and Yume Mochizuki, [[spoiler:and the addition stating that previous ones we saw were some sort of projection from the Dress-Up keys.]] There are two obvious candidates, Ms. Shirogane and Yume Mochizuki, for the current forms of these older Cures. If this theory is correct, though, there should be one more candidate. Dyspear being a fallen Cure makes for both an interesting parallel between her and Towa, and is an obvious setup for [[DefeatMeansFriendship purification]]. It does raise the question of ''what'' corrupted her, though.

* [[spoiler: The golden key DOES in fact make an appearance in episode 49, the second-to-last episode of the show, thus bringing the grand total to 18 keys. Better late than never, as they say.]]
* Specifically, [[spoiler:the golden key is what you get when you combine all of the other 17 keys into one]].

Excluding [[spoiler: Twilight/ Towa]] and [[spoiler: Kuroro/ Lock]], nobody except Shut is able to be redeemed at this point. Both Dyspear and Close already crossed the MoralEventHorizon long ago, while Shut really hadn't done anything ''too'' horrendous.
* It's already too late for Lock, since [[spoiler:he forcibly took over Kuroro's body and is dead]].
* Episode 49 has Jossed this. [[spoiler:Lock is actually alive, has been freed from Dyspear's Mind Control and has joined with a willing Kuroro to fight against her, so it seems both of them are getting out of this alive.]]
* Even better: [[spoiler:apparently ''Close'' isn't getting the axe either. And Stop and Freeze don't seem to be dead, either; Close just absorbed them, which might not be permanent. The only one who seems to be gone for good is Dyspear.]]

And knows what's been going on like [[Anime/SuitePrettyCure Ako's grandfather.]]

[[WMG: Dyspear is one of the previous Princess Precure who was corrupted by either a BiggerBad or [[HiddenDepths something else]].]]

* [[CompletelyMissingThePoint Adding on to that]], it will be exposed to a Leaf Stone and evolve into [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIBulbasaurToTentacruel Vileplume]]. Either that, or it will evolve into a Bellossom after [[NiceJobBreakingItHero being hit with Cure Scarlet's Sun Key]] attack, which is the closest thing to being exposed to a Sun Stone.

Her physical appearance resembles [[Disney/SleepingBeauty Maleficent]], especially [[{{Film/Maleficent}} her live-action version]], so bonus points if her backstory ends up being similar to Maleficent's.

[[WMG: Dyspear is the BigBad of ''VisualNovel/DanganRonpa'' as a ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' witch]]

He's the DarkChick of [[FiveBadBand Dys Dark]]. It seems legit.

* Addendum: [[spoiler:Near the end of the series, they each get a new attack that is activated by using all four of their personal keys in the Music Princess Palace.]]

* Since the show has been out for a while, I'd say this is jossed. Aside from Cure Mermaid, none of the Cures are a reference to any specific fairy tale princesses. The show is really just about princesses in general.

* [[spoiler:Confirmed. Shut gets a BigDamnHeroes moment in Episode 38, by intercepting Close's attack, gives him a punch to the face and openly proclaims that they should break free from Dyspear.]]

* Speaking about jokes, maybe Dyspear's true identity is actually [[spoiler: [[YesPrecure5 Kawarino]] in drag]]. Their goals are the same and maybe he learned to inflict despair by himself instead of relying on BigBad.

* Still jossed, but not for the reasons above. [[spoiler:He was actually a willing agent of Dys Dark who possessed an innocent fairy (Kuroro), but that means that he ''was'' killed in episode 30.]]
