History Anime / FreshPrettyCure

* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler: Setsuna, Hayato, and Shun head back to Labyrinth in the finale. Of course, there's no reason why they can't come back and visit.]]

* PleaseWakeUp: Peach's reaction to Setsuna's DisneyDeath.

** [[IncrediblyLamePun Heh, red.]]

* ShoutOut: Episode 12 is full of these. Just look at the wigs. There's even a [[FinalFantasyXIII Sazh]] wig!

The sixth entry in the ''PrettyCure'' franchise. The title comes from the heroines' fresh fruit EdibleThemeNaming.

''Fresh'' was an attempt to refresh (no pun intended) the ''PrettyCure'' franchise after the successful but derivative ''YesPrettyCure5''. It lowered the number of main characters to a manageable three, allowing for more development per character, and increased the amount of action and drama. The show later introduces a StoryArc focused on Labyrinth agent Eas, who attempts to [[TheMole infiltrate Love's group]] and steal her TransformationTrinket, only for the story to [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstruct]] BecomingTheMask in [[VillainousBreakdown the most painful way possible]], culminating in the birth of [[SixthRanger the fourth Pretty Cure]], Cure Passion.

!!This program provides examples of:

* BerserkButtonL Apparently, Northa got the bright idea to try and brainwash Setsuna into coming back to Labyrinth -- and when that doesn't work, capture her instead -- in episode 42. Then the Cures, especially Love, become BigDamnHeroes and save Setsuna. Keep in mind that Love would hate to lose Setsuna a second time, especially after what both she and Setsuna went through right before Setsuna's HeelFaceTurn, and so she will not tolerate anyone trying to tear them apart now that their friendship has been set in stone as of the final moments of episode 23.

* AlternateContinuity (to the other series)

* BadBoss: Moebius is physically and emotionally abusive, especially to Eas, who just wants his recognition.)

* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler: (Setsuna, Hayato, and Shun head back to Labyrinth in the finale. Of course, there's no reason why they can't come back and visit.)]]

* ChestInsignia (the colorful four-leaf clover)

* FreakyFridayFlip (episode 10)

* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight (A rare villainous version: ''Wester'' tries one of these on Setsuna shortly after her HeelFaceTurn. Unfortunately for him, as he's not a hero it didn't work.)

* [[spoiler: LivingMacGuffin: Chiffon was Infinity all along.)]

* TeleportersAndTransporters: Setsuna's TransformationTrinket 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.)

* TheyStillBelongToUsLecture: Attempted several times after Eas' HeelFaceTurn. Wester invokes this because he is genuinely hurt by Setsuna's defection and wants his comrade to return. Later on, Northa uses it purely as part of a MoralEventHorizon-crossing MoreThanMindControl gambit.

* AnimationBump Episode 12, despite being a comedic filler episode, is animated surprisingly well.

* BadBoss (Moebius is physically and emotionally abusive, especially to Eas, who just wants his recognition.)
* BareYourMidriff (Miki as Cure Berry)
* BattleInTheRain (Peach's last fight with Eas)
* BecomingTheMask (Horrifically de-constructed. Eas' new feelings of friendship towards Love cause her nothing but confusion and pain as Love systematically disproves her ''entire world view''.)
* BerserkButton (Apparently, Northa got the bright idea to try and brainwash Setsuna into coming back to Labyrinth -- and when that doesn't work, capture her instead -- in episode 42. Then the Cures, especially Love, become BigDamnHeroes and save Setsuna. Keep in mind that Love would hate to lose Setsuna a second time, especially after what both she and Setsuna went through right before Setsuna's HeelFaceTurn, and so she will not tolerate anyone trying to tear them apart now that their friendship has been set in stone as of the final moments of episode 23.)
* BigDamnHeroes (Episode 42)

* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine (Episode 27 is entirely dedicated to this, including a guest appearance from the very real comedy duo Audrey.)

* ButNowIMustGo [[spoiler: (Setsuna, Hayato, and Shun head back to Labyrinth in the finale. Of course, there's no reason why they can't come back and visit.)]]
* ByThePowerOfGreyskull (''"Change! Pretty Cure! Beat Up!"'')
* CallingYourAttacks (Not just the actual attacks, but also Double Pretty Cure Punch, Double Pretty Cure Kick, Triple Pretty Cure Punch, and so on and so forth.)
* CastFromHitPoints (The Nakisakebe card works this way)
* CatchPhrase (Love's "Let's obtain happiness!"[[hottip:* :"Shiawase getto da yo!"]], Miki's "I am perfect!"[[hottip:* :"Atashi kanpeki!"]], Inori's "I believe!"[[hottip:* :"Watashi, shinjiteru!"]], and Setsuna's "I will do my best!"[[hottip:* :"Sei ippai, ganbaru wa!"]])

* [[spoiler: TheComputerIsYourFriend (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.)]]

* CueTheSun (Cure Passion's first appearance.)
* DancingTheme (And in 3D to boot!)
* DebutQueue (Introduction of the Cures; subverted during the power-up spree, since Inori gets her MidSeasonUpgrade before Miki.)
* DisappearedDad (Miki. Her parents are divorced and she lives with her mother. Her brother lives with her father.)
* DisneyDeath ([[spoiler:Setsuna is resurrected as Cure Passion,]] and later in the series, [[spoiler:Westar and Souler prove that you can, in fact, survive being sucked into a black hole. Guess the only one of the four cardinal directions villains whose death is going to be permanent is Northa's.]])
* TheDragon ([[spoiler:The frightening and [[AmbiguousGender androgynous]] fusion of Northa and Cline, though Northa and Cline themselves may be considered [[TheDragon dragons]] to some extent. Cline even takes on the form of an actual dragon before the fusion with Northa.]])
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning (Pretty Cure Happiness Hurricane)
* EvilTwin (Cure Passion has to deal with an impersonator of her former self, Eas, in episode 25.)
* EvolvingCredits (Adding Cure Passion.)

* FrillyUpgrade (Cure Peach gets these after transforming into Cure Angel in the movie... [[spoiler:and eventually, the rest of the Cures get them as well, after accessing their own Cure Angel upgrades during the penultimate episode.]])
* FunnyAfro (Love gets a couple of these every so often throughout the series.)
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan (Done by [[spoiler:Cure Berry]] to [[spoiler:Cure Peach]] in TheMovie.)
* GirlishPigtails (Love has Innocent/Ignorant Pigtails)

* HeelFaceMindScrew (Mercifully averted, as the girls arrive [[BigDamnHeroes just in time]] to save their comrade Setsuna from being brainwashed back into Labyrinth in episode 42)
* HeelFaceTurn (Setsuna/Eas became Cure Passion, the [[SixthRanger Fourth Ranger]] to the girls, in episode 23. [[spoiler:Then Westar and Souler, [[DisneyDeath having recovered from being sucked into a black hole two episodes earlier]], help the Cures in their fight againt Northa in episode 48.]])
* HeyItsThatVoice (it's the mascots this time -- Tarte is clearly [[DigimonSavers Agumon]] and [[DynastyWarriors the guy wields nunchucks]], and Chiffon... well, [[ChisSweetHome Chi]]. Also, you'll probably recognize Miyuki's voice as that of [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Misty]]. Oh, and Northa is [[Manga/OnePiece Nefertari Vivi]].)
** Ayumi, Love's mother, is the main protagonist of ''Manga/WeddingPeach''.
** Setsuna would later go on to voice [[Film/{{Avatar}} Neytiri]].
** Tarte and Inori = [[TheKindaichiCaseFiles Kindaichi and Miyuki]]. FreakyFridayFlip episode might be played because of this.
** Thank God Soular never screams [[GundamSeedDestiny STEL]][[VideoGame/TalesOfLegendia LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!]] in-series.
* HighHeelFaceTurn (Setsuna/Eas, [[TheSmurfettePrinciple sole female member of the antagonists]], becomes [[SixthRanger Cure Passion]] and joins the protagonists. The sole evil female position, though, was filled by the decidedly more evil Northa.)

* IdiotHero (Love, naturally)
* IdolSinger (more like Idol ''Dancer'')

* ISurrenderSuckers (Setsuna pulls a heroic version of this, pretending to accept Moebius' forgiveness so she can have a shot at destroying the Fuko gauge.)
* KamehameHadoken (The appearance when the Cures continue shooting finishing moves, as seen on episode 7.)

* LateArrivalSpoiler (Cure Passion's identity was spoiled left and right by merchandising at least a month before she actually appeared on-screen.)
* LickedByTheDog (Setsuna in episode 25, ironically enough by the same dog she [[KickTheDog kicked]] back in episode 3, just to show that [[EvenTheDogIsAshamed this dog is NOT ashamed of her]].)
* [[spoiler: LivingMacGuffin (Chiffon was Infinity all along.)]]
* LotusEaterMachine (The world of memories, created by Camera Nakewameke.)

* MagicSkirt (Both forms; thank the petticoats in Cure forms!)

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal (Double subverted. [[spoiler:Eas receives a letter declaring that she's fired and that Klein, who can end the life of any Labyrinth citizen with the push of a button, is severely shortening her lifespan. Instead of running to Love for help, she becomes more determined to defeat Love before these "strange feelings" of friendship and self-worth that the Cures give her take over, so that he'll change his mind about her [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness having become useless]]. However, Eas gives up in her fight against Peach, Klein [[MoralEventHorizon kills her anyway]], and the Akarun brings her back to life as a Cure.]] Disgusted with her previous actions, she joins the side of good.
* MonsterOfTheWeek (Nakewameke, which abandon the more or less freeform look of previous [=MOTWs=] in favor of a more natural-looking appearance, while still being will-the-Precure-please-get-giant-robots-already big. It later gains a power-up version called Nakisakebe.)
* TheMovie (''The Kingdom of Toys has Lots of Secrets?!'')
** NonSerialMovie (Subverted; the Toy Kingdom [[spoiler:and Cure Angel]] do appear in the series, and Usapyon makes a brief cameo in episode 26.)
* MythologyGag (Many throughout the series.)
* NamesTheSame (Name another Miki who has blue as her theme color and the spade from playing cards as her symbol; ''ShugoChara'' may come to mind.)
** EriKitamura, her voice actress, also played [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica another blue-colored magical girl named Miki two years later...]]
** Take Love's surname, transfer it to Miki, and you pretty much got the civilian name of [[DaiSentaiGoggleFive Goggle Pink]].
* NightmareFace (Employed by Setsuna, herself a Face for several episodes at the time, and ''Love'', of all people, in episode 30 ''simultaneously''.)
* NonHumanSidekick (Chiffon and Tarte)
* ParentsInDistress (Love's mother gets switched with a mirror enemy in one story and it's up to Love (her real daughter) and Setsuna (her surrogate daughter) to rescue her.
* PortmanteauSeriesNickname ([[invoked]]"''H@ppy Together''", the seconding DancingTheme, has them [[SpellingSong spelling it out]]: ''P•R•E•C•U•R•E''.)
* PowerGivesYouWings (Cure Angel in the movie... [[spoiler:and all four Heavenly Cures in the series.]])
* ThePowerOfLove (Guess which one of the girls has this power.)
* QuirkyMinibossSquad (Although unlike other ''PrettyCure'' examples, it starts to disband after Cure Passion's appearance.)
* RedemptionEqualsDeath (reversed--Death Equals Redemption, leading to RedemptionEarnsLife.)
** Played straight and averted later with [[spoiler:Westar and Souler, who are seemingly pulled into a black hole for deletion after saving Berry and Passion from the same fate. And ''then'' [[RedemptionEarnsLife they get better]] two episodes later. ]])
* RedHerring (The girls at first think Miyuki is Cure Passion, but they're wrong...)
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots (a popular fan theory for the nature of the people of Labyrinth; they can eat food and feel pain, but there's something not-quite-right about them nevertheless.) [[spoiler:subverted at the end of the series when it's revealed that they really were all human, just being mind-controlled by a robot.]]
* SecretKeeper (The first PrettyCure series to have them!)

** ShipTease (Miki hugging Inori in one of the previews)

* SpannerInTheWorks (Cline didn't count on the Akarun [[spoiler:reviving Setsuna as Cure Passion]], and he certainly didn't expect her to be a Cure. Hell, [[DidntSeeThatComing not even Setsuna herself was aware]] that she was Cure Passion until [[spoiler:[[RedemptionEarnsLife redemption earned her back her life]].]])
* SpecialEditionTitle (advertising the BatFamilyCrossover)
* SpellMyNameWithAnS (Is it Westar or Wester? Soular or Souler? Northa or Norza? Tart or Tarte? Despite there being trading cards that show some of those names, the fandom still can't seem to come to consensus about which spelling is correct for any of them.)

* TakingYouWithMe [[spoiler: Moebius rages at the fact that he cannot control the Cures and decides to blow himself up with them inside. Luckily, they're bailed out by Chiffon just in time.]]
* TeleportersAndTransporters (Setsuna's TransformationTrinket 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.)
* ThemeTuneCameo (The second ending music is used repeatedly during the series, and the first ending music is the song the Trinity group dances to in the first episode.)
* ThemeNaming (Jumping on the previous season's bandwagon, not only the mascots are named after food, but the Cures are as well. Also, four of the villains are named after cardinal directions.)

* WeaselMascot (Tarte, more of a ferret than a weasel)
* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield (We know they're in Japan, but where the heck can we find Clover Town Street?)
* WhatMeasureIsANonCute (Eas basically fits this trope, since, due to having equally cute villain and human forms, she was spared being KilledOffForReal)
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes (Inori, who loves animals, except ferrets, and Tarte just happened to be a ferret. Luckily, as of episode 10 she's no longer afraid of him.

* YouAreNumberSix (The citizens of Labyrinth are all numbered; although they don't use those numbers as names, Eas is addressed by hers in her letter.)
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair (Miki, more like bluish-purple. Also, her brother Kazuki, and villains Wester and Souler when transformed. Setsuna, in every form, can also count, although in civillian form it could be considered as stylized black.)

* ZettaiRyouiki (Eas, who combines it with hot pants, and Cure Berry)

* AnimationBump Episode 12 is animated particularly well. And of course, it's a comedy episode about funny hairdos.

** EriKitamura, her voice actress, also played [[PuellaMagiMadokaMagica another blue-colored magical girl named Miki two years later...]]

** Peach and Eas' fight in episode 23 [[DragonBall looks familiar...]]

** Compare [[spoiler:Westar and Soular's explanation about their [[BackFromTheDead comeback]]]] with the prologue of Kamen Rider Black RX. Cue KamenRider jokes about [[spoiler:those two]] spread within the fandom.

[[MeaningfulName Love Momozono]] is a [[GenkiGirl ridiculously-positive and empathetic]] girl who loves dancing. While attending a concert by her para-para idols Trinity, she is caught in an attack by the evil forces of Labyrinth, who seek to conquer TheMultiverse by finding a MacGuffin called "Infinity". Love's desire to protect her idols and the happiness of those around her transform her into Cure Peach, one of the Legendary Warriors known as Pretty Cure.

The sixth PrettyCure series. The title comes from the heroines' fresh fruit EdibleThemeNaming.

The sixth PrettyCure series and the fourth AlternateContinuity. The title comes from the heroines' fresh fruit EdibleThemeNaming.

* FrillsOfJustice (Cure Peach gets these after transforming into Cure Angel in the movie... [[spoiler:and eventually, the rest of the Cures get them as well, after accessing their own Cure Angel upgrades during the penultimate episode.]])

** Ayumi, Love's mother, is the main protagonist of WeddingPeach.

* [[{{BST}} Takahashi Couple]]: Love and Daisuke (even if Love's more genki than most tsunderes around), almost reminiscent of [[WeddingPeach Momoko and Yousuke]].

* HeyItsThatVoice (it's the mascots this time -- Tarte is clearly [[DigimonSavers Agumon]] and [[DynastyWarriors the guy wields nunchucks]], and Chiffon... well, [[ChisSweetHome Chi]]. Also, you'll probably recognize Miyuki's voice as that of [[{{Pokemon}} Misty]]. Oh, and Northa is [[OnePiece Nefertari Vivi]].)

** Thank God Soular never screams [[GundamSeedDestiny STEL]][[TalesOfLegendia LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!]] in-series.

* SpiritBomb: Lucky Clover Grand Finale.

* ShoutOut
* SixthRanger (More like "Fourth Ranger". Anyway, Setsuna fills this slot starting in episode 23.)
