History YMMV / YesPrettycure5

** Some fans also violently despise Coco's fairy form for his [[CuteButCacophonic nails-on-a-chalkboard voice.]]

** Coco and Nuts might have their fans, but ask anyone about them and they'll most likely respond with "they're the guys that engaged in {{Interspecies Romance}}s with the then-underaged Nozomi and Komachi". When it was confirmed that they, along with Syrup, would be returning for ''Otona Pretty Cure '23'', many either blocked them out of their announcements [[EnsembleDarkHorse and focus only on Syrup returning]] or wonder if they'll face comeuppance for their infamous romance phases in any capacity.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: In Japan, this part of the franchise is decently popular, but not wildly beloved like ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'' or ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'', let alone North America, but in Italy, these seasons, along with ''Anime/FreshPrettyCure'' were a favorite among many fans, and scored some of the best ratings on [=RAI=] 2.

* WTHCastingAgency: Casting Creator/TakeshiKusao, as a cute little fluffy animal fairy when it's painfully clear that he can't do a cute fairy voice.

* EvilIsSexy: The Dark Pretty Cure 5 from the first movie.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter/PrettyCure It has its own page now]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
** Despite her prevalence and importance in several episodes during the first season, Masuko Mika is weirdly absent for the majority of Go Go!. Given her persistence in finding more about the Precures, it is strange that she isn't more involved with the main plot, especially since she got attacked by the villains more than one time and didn't have her memories altered or anything of the sort. She is just absent from the story altogether, save for a few cameos.
** In the first season, Urara is the only Cure to not have a series wide character arc. The other girls have various episodes of CharacterDevelopment that culminate in each of them discovering what careers they want to pursue once they become adults, while on the contrary Urara starts with herself knee deep in stardom and ends at almost the exact same spot. ''[=GoGo!=]'' tries to remedy this a little by pairing her with Syrup for a BroodingBoyGentleGirl dynamic, but this still doesn't fix her lack of CharacterDevelopment between each season.

* NeverLiveItDown: Coco and Nuts might have their fans, but ask anyone about them and they'll most likely respond with "they're the guys that engaged in {{Interspecies Romance}}s with the then-underaged Nozomi and Komachi". When it was confirmed that they, along with Syrup, would be returning for ''Otona Pretty Cure '23'', many either blocked them out of their announcements [[EnsembleDarkHorse and focus only on Syrup returning]] or wonder if they'll face comeuppance for their infamous romance phases in any capacity.

** Some fans ''really'' dislike Milk for her [[{{Tsundere}} heavy tsuntusn]] tendencies towards Nozomi and tendency to get underfoot and cause trouble for Pretty Cure, especially around the time of her debut.

* NightmareFuel: 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, to the point that Nozomi in ''Go!Go!'' used ''that'' event as 'something she doesn't want to happen again'... [[MeaningfulName Well, they ain't called "Nightmare" for nothing.]]
** And when Nozomi broke that off thanks to Coco, she dove in to her friends' mind... and found her friends first acting normal, but later revealed to have DullEyesOfUnhappiness. Pretty chilling.
** None of them are nice people (except maybe for Bunbee), but Nightmare employees' defeats are enough to make you feel uncomfortable, as they let loose with a loud pained scream as they die in the case of Girinma, Arachnea, Gamao, and Hadenya, as well as Bloody being banished to an abyss and later dragging Kawarino down there.

* PortmanteauCoupleName: [=CocoNozo=], Coconuts, [=NutsKoma=], and [=ShiroUra=] are the most commonly used ones.

** UnequalPairing

* FanPreferredCouple: Coco and Natsu was so popular at the time that the ''Anime/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' anime had featured a parody of it. It was the first notable sign of a male slash fandom in the franchise.
* FoeYayShipping: Milky Rose and Anacondy, for a scene where Milky tries to engage her in combat, but Anacondy grabs her wrist and pulls her to be only a few centimeters from her face.

** ''Yes! Precure 5 GO!GO!'': [[TheCollector The Director of Eternal]] collects treasures and valuables from all the worlds, [[{{Greed}} keep everything of value for himself only]]. His collection includes various living creatures frozen in stasis, precious objects stolen from people, and anything else he finds valuable. In particular, the Director wishes to acquire Flora from the Cure Rose Garden for her beauty. To the Director, anything that holds no value--[[ItsAllAboutMe and only he gets to decide what has value]]--must be destroyed, including humanity, friendship, love, and life itself. When the Director goes to Earth, he levels the Pretty Cure's school because he sees it as worthless. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness He kills two loyal minions, one of whom loves him, when he sees no more use for them]]. Upon arriving at the Cure Rose Garden, [[PersonOfMassDestruction the Director]] starts to turn it into a wasteland]], which severely damages Earth, the Palmier Kingdom, and the other kingdoms in the process. Flora tries to help him see the infinite possibilities of life with a flower seed, but he considers them worthless and continues his rampage until he is defeated.

** Kawarino in the first season is TheDragon to [[BigBad Despariah]], but he ends up being much worse than she is. He enjoys manipulating people and crushing their dreams just because he can. The Nightmare organization may never have been a nice place, but Bloody, Kawarino's former superior, notes that Nightmare at least had teamwork before he took charge. He claims to be working for Despariah's immortality, but this seems to be just an excuse to spread despair. He {{mind rape}}s the Pretty Cure with his despair masks to turn them into Nightmare's slaves. Then he starts giving his minions the black mask, which gives them a [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity power-up at the cost of their minds]]. When Hadenya and Bloody refuse to wear it, he shoves it on them anyway. He blasts Bunbee off a building when he tries to leave Nightmare. It's revealed that he was the one who tricked Nuts into opening the gates to the Palmier Kingdom, meaning he was responsible for its destruction and all its citizens becoming brainwashed employees of Nightmare. In the end, when Despariah contemplates a HeelFaceTurn, Kawarino is shocked and outraged at her before Bloody comes back to kill him.
** ''Yes! Precure 5 GO!GO!'': This direct sequel features [[BigBad the Director of Eternal]], whose goal is to collect treasures and valuables from all the worlds and [[{{Greed}} keep everything of value for himself only]]. His collection includes various living creatures frozen in stasis, precious objects stolen from people, and anything else he finds valuable. In particular, he wishes to acquire Flora from the Cure Rose Garden for her beauty. To him, anything that holds no value ([[ItsAllAboutMe and only he gets to decide what has value]]) must be destroyed, including humanity, friendship, love, and life itself. When he goes to Earth, he levels the Pretty Cure's school because he sees it as worthless. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness He kills two loyal minions, one of whom loves him, when he sees no more use for them]].

Flora tries to help him see the infinite possibilities of life with a flower seed, but he considers them worthless and continues his rampage until he is defeated.

* {{Squick}}: While Coco/Nozomi is a good deal healthier than teacher/student relationships would be in real life — the teacher-to-student and Precure-to-fairy power imbalances arguably even each other out, and there's a clear foundation of mutual respect there that's hard to find in most canon shoujo relationships even between peers — a lot of people still despise the ship and Coco himself because of the squick factor.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Shadow from TheMovie is a CreepyCrossdresser, 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. To wit, the voice behind Shadow is Creator/RomiPark, he/she/whatever acts and dresses flamboyantly and even kisses the Dream Collet, but has well-toned muscles on his/her/whatever's [[BareYourMidriff bare midriff]] and no boobs whatsoever. Confused yet?

*** Nozomi with everyone.
