YMMV: Yes Pretty Cure 5
  • Complete Monster (The Director, the Big Bad of Gogo!. Even Nozomi thought he was beyond redemption after he murdered Anacondy for having outlived her usefulness and then turned the world to stone just because he considered it "worthless".)
    • Kawarino from the original also qualifies: He worships despair too much and enjoys way too much kicking dogs way too much along with applying manipulations for no apparent reason. He backstabs his former superior Bloody once he thought the latter has outlived his usefulness, and it is also noted by Bloody that even the Nightmare group was a lot better before Kawarino came in charge, where there's at least teamwork. Also, Girinma, Arachnea, Gamao and Hadenya are jerks, but still show their loyalty to Nightmare... and Kawarino drove them to death by giving them the Black Cards all while claiming that his voice is Despariah's. When Despariah contemplates on a Heel Face Turn, Kawarino is extremely flabbergasted at the idea, which hammers the point home that he's even more evil than even Despariah, serving her not out of loyalty unlike the other employees. Nozomi didn't even get to declare him beyond redemption, Bloody came back from the grave to drag him to Hell along with him. Irritatingly, he became a Karma Houdini as seen in Go!Go!, surviving Nightmare's fall, although he's reduced to become Bunbee's servant of all people. No wonder Joker is heavily based on him.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome (Cure Mint's (Kamehame Hadoken moment in the original and powered-up Emerald Saucer in the sequel)
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: Cure Coco and Cure Nutts in the Go!Go! movie! The beginning has Milk introduce how the Miracle Lights the audience is given work. Syrup walks out as "a monster" and Kouji and Mr. Natsu race out in order to "stop" him. When they mention to use the Lights to help them transform, the two do... into Cure Coco and Cure Nutts, their mascot forms wearing the hair decorations and sporting the colors of their love interests (Nozomi and Komachi) respectively. Yes, it's as goofy as it sounds!
    • Episode 7: Coco trying to wake Nozomi up by turning into Kouji... and then got caught by Nozomi's mom with him on a very awkward position against the sleeping Nozomi. Her mom's Freak Out and Nozomi's attempts to 'explain' definitely count.
    • Episode 1 of Go!Go!: Nozomi signals the girls to get ready to face Scorp... but because they lost their ability to become Pretty Cures at the end of the 1st season...
    Nozomi: Girls! Ready?
    All: YES!
    Nozomi: RUN AWAAAAAAYYYY!!!
    • The 'Detective Komachi' episode is full of funny, what with the accusations here and there and then Bunbee butts in in the wrongest time possible and gets accused. Only Dream gets to hear his alibi, the rest just whoop him out of Nuts house with Dream telling them to hold up to no avail, ending with all girls, after driving Bunbee out, giving a low "Yes!", looking at Dream with thumbs up. In unison. And yes, Bunbee didn't even get to whip out any Hoshiina monsters this episode.
  • Evil Is Sexy: The Dark Pretty Cure 5 from the first movie.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse (Bunbee, who started as a Card-Carrying Villain and the Nightmare Group's Dragon but became somewhat of a Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain after Kawarino was introduced. His popularity ensured his survival into the sequel — where he gets hired by Eternal, the new Big Bad organization- and his Promotion to Opening Titles.)
  • Les Yay: Karen and Milk.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: So Coco, voiced by Takeshi Kusao, goes with the alias 'Kokoda Kouji'. Meanwhile, Kusao has played Ky Kiske who occasionally tend to yell "Koko da!" (or "Coconut!"). This makes Coco's choice of alter ego name a bit more hilarious.
  • Moral Event Horizon
    • (Turning Urara's memento of her deceased mom into a Kowaina? Die, Girinma, DIE!)
    • Killing your faithful Dragon who's obviously in love with you just because you don't need her anymore? Turning the world and all living beings to stone just because you deem them worthless? You more than earned your Karmic Death, Director of Eternal!
    • Hey, Kawarino, did you just send the Precures into utter despair with your Despair Mask? Okay, creepy, but I guess we could forgive that for standard villainy... Whoa, did you just SHOVE that black mask to Hadenya, forcefully transforming her? Wow, she's a bitch but maybe that's a bit too much, at least Girinma, Arachnea and Gamao had to do it on their own will... Wait, did you just backstab your former superior Bloody just because he 'served his purpose' of seeing the Dream Collet completed and send him to the depths of Hell!? Oh fuck YOU, Kawarino! Hope your death will be painful— *Bloody ends up dragging him to Hell near the end of the series* — THANK YOU!
  • Nightmare Fuel: Kawarino's Despair Mask just look plain creepy and haunting. Not to mention every non-named Nightmare members are wearing one, and at one point, all Cures end up wearing one... Well, they ain't called "Nightmare" for nothing.
  • Periphery Demographic (Adult males. Then again, given that there was a "marketing" paper that listed the "main target" as 4-to-12-year-old girls and 16-to-35-year-old men, this is an arguable subversion.)
  • Portmanteau Couple Name (CocoNozo, Coconuts, NutsKoma, and ShiroUra are the most commonly used ones)
  • The Scrappy: Some fans really dislike Milk for her heavy tsuntusn tendencies towards Nozomi and tendency to get underfoot and cause trouble for Pretty Cure, especially around the time of her debut.
  • Shipping
    • Crack Pairing
    • Die for Our Ship (Coco and Nuts, just for being male, and before Nuts had an implied relationship with anyone; also, Crepe, once she was announced to be betrothed to Coco and thus get in the way of both the canon ship and the yaoi fangirls' favourite ship)
    • Launcher of a Thousand Ships (fans have, in all seriousness, paired Nozomi with just about every character in the show and more)
    • Screw Yourself (There's support out there for Nozomi/Dark Dream. In-universe, while the others' inner selves berate them, Urara's Enemy Within flirts with her.)
    • Ship Mates (virtually any pairing!)
    • Toy Ship (Since the actual children play a very small role in both seasons, the closest thing to this you can find in the main cast is Syrup and Urara.)
    • Unequal Pairing
  • Tear Jerker: Shining Cure Dream and Mushiban's goodbye in Yes! Precure 5 Go! Go! Movie.
  • The Untwist (Milk is Milky Rose! Shock!)
  • Viewer Gender Confusion (Shadow from The Movie is a Villainous Crossdresser, but no one's quite sure what he's crossdressing as. From a brief overview of the fandom, the women tend to believe he's a man, and the men tend to believe he's a woman.)
