History Anime / FreshPrettyCure

* LastMinuteHookup: [[spoiler: Averted with Love and Daisuke.]]

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

* TransformationSequence
* TransformationTrinket: The Linkrun, a cell-phone like device. Love, Miki, and Buki's are created when their respective Pickruns entered their regular cell-phones for the first time, while Setsuna's are created on its own.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: You would think, that enormous [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters of the Week]] (that cannot be InvisibleToNormals due to their very purpose) and Pretty Cures beating crap out of each other in the middle of the town would draw some serious attention from the world.

* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:The girls revealing their identities to their friends and family in the concern that their final confrontation with Infinity might take them awhile leads to them being frustrated and hurt that they were hiding this secret. Their mothers in particular try to keep them from leaving, but really only succeed in staying back until there was no real time left.]]

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Inori, who loves animals, except ferrets, and Tarte just happened to be a ferret. She gets over it as part of the plot of episode 10.

* HotterAndSexier: Mildly. As this is the first Precure series that attempts to broaden the audience range, the art style for this season gave the female characters more visible breasts. There isn't ''that'' much of a difference, though, and for the most part, the female characters are still conservatively dressed.
** [[http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=976926 Pointed out and parodied in this fanart featuring the other Cures]]
** There's also the fact that this is pretty much the only Precure show to ever have a ShowerScene (featuring Miki, in episode 2), though they don't go really much into detail for it. Along with villainess with a more revealing outfit than other villainesses (Eas)... [[spoiler:which is short-lived, pulled a HighHeelFaceTurn and spends the rest of the series with a conservative outfit.]]
** ArtisticAge: Consider all those above, and it's also explicitly stated that the Cures are still 14 years old. Setsuna included.

* InformedAbility: Played with. In the 'specialty'-assigning episode, where we get stuff like Peach specializing in punching, Berry specializing in kicking, Pine specializing in stamina, and Passion specializing in speed/dodge, kind of makes sense at first. However, each Cures has been known to use all four traits sparingly. The reveal of that specialty assignment also ends up causing a CripplingOverspecialization and causes the Cures to fare badly until Miyuki tinkers things up to make them realize that the [[AnAesop Aesop]] is the usual 'teamwork' and synchronizing their hearts with those specialization which granted them ''Lucky Clover Grand Finale''. And yet in said attack, none of the 'specializations' mentioned shine on.

* 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.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: What caused Westor's scheme in episode 12 to fail is that everyone found the wigs his Fushiawase forces them to wear to be rather hilarious or they actually didn't look that bad in the case of Miki and Inori.

** Episode 48: [[spoiler: Just when it seems as if Pretty Cure is about to be defeated once and for all by TheDragon, Westar and Soular, who had supposedly died two episodes prior, swoop in to defend the girls. The general populace of Labyrinth may be considered BigDamnHeroes as well, since they are the ones who gave Pretty Cure the power to actually get back up, fight, and unlock their EleventhHourSuperpower.]]

** There's also the facts that this is pretty much the only Precure show to ever have a ShowerScene (featuring Miki, in episode 2), though they don't go really much into details for it. Along with villainness with more revealing outfit than other villainnesses (Eas)... [[spoiler:which is short-lived, pulled a HighHeelFaceTurn and spends the rest of the series with conservative outfit.]]

* InformedAbility: Played with. In the 'specialty'-assigning episode, whereas we get stuffs like Peach specializing in punching, Berry specializing in kicking, Pine specializing in stamina, Passion specializing in speed/dodge, kind of make sense at first. However, each Cures have been known to use all four traits sparingly. The reveal of that specialty-assignment also end up causing a CripplingOverspecialization and caused the Cures to fare badly, until Miyuki tinkers things up to make them realize that the [[AnAesop Aesop]] is the usual 'teamwork' and synchronizing their hearts with those specialization which granted them ''Lucky Clover Grand Finale''. And yet in said attack, none of the 'specializations' mentioned shine on.

* MagicalGirl
** MagicalGirlWarrior

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Double subverted. [[spoiler:Eas receives a letter declaring that she's fired and that her allotted lifespan is going to run out. 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 her bosses will change their minds about her [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness having become useless]]. However, Eas gives up in her fight against Peach, her bosses [[MoralEventHorizon kills her anyway]], and Akarun (the red key sprite) brings her back to life as a Cure.]] Disgusted with her previous actions, she eventually joins the side of good.
** A straight example happens with [[spoiler: Westar and Soular, who join Pretty Cure when Moebius decides [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness they have outlived their usefulness.]]]]
* 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 gains a powered up version called Nakisakebe in episodes 19 through 22, before being replaced by Northa's Sorewatase monsters late in the series.
** At the end of the series [[spoiler: a ''good'' MonsterOfTheWeek appears, which is called a Hohoemina.]]

** NonSerialMovie: Technically, the movie falls under this trope. It was released after episode 38 aired. However, in a case of EarlyBirdCameo, Usapyon makes a brief appearance in episode 26 and the Toy Kingdom appears in episode 35. The Toy Kingdom is later seen again in episodes 45 and 50, and [[spoiler:and the Cure Angel transformation appears in episode 48 as the EleventhHourSuperpower.]] As such, the movie can be considered canon.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Reversed with Setsuna -- Death Equals Redemption, leading to RedemptionEarnsLife.
** Initially played straight with [[spoiler:Westar and Soular, 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: ([[{{Pun}} Get it?]]) The girls (and Tarte) at first think Miyuki is Cure Passion, but they're wrong...

* ShoutOut: Episode 12 is full of these. Just look at the wigs. There's even a [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Sazh]] wig!
** Includes a old girl with [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Cure White]] hair and a dog with strange [[Anime/{{Gaiking}} horns]].

* [[ThreePlusTwo Three Plus One]]

[[MeaningfulName Love Momozono]] is a [[GenkiGirl ridiculously-positive and empathetic]] girl who loves dancing. While attending a concert by her 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.

* RedHerring: ([[IncrediblyLamePun Get it?]]) The girls (and Tarte) at first think Miyuki is Cure Passion, but they're wrong...

** There's also the facts that this is pretty much the only Precure show to ever have a ShowerScene (featuring Miki, in episode 2), though they don't go really much into details for it. Along with [[EvilIsSexy villainness with more revealing outfit than other villainnesses]] (Eas)... [[spoiler:which is short-lived, pulled a HighHeelFaceTurn and spends the rest of the series with conservative outfit.]]

* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Episode 27 is entirely dedicated to this, including [[SpecialGuest a guest appearance from the very real comedy duo Audrey]].
** And earlier on, someone mentioned that at one point in episode 1, Love looked like a combination of Boke and Tsukkomi: "She says and does stupid things and then ALSO does the punch lines to herself".

** LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Due to AudienceParticipation, Love seems to address the viewers during a key scene in the movie. Later, Kaoru-chan makes a comment that's seemingly addressed to the audience.

* CastFromHitPoints: The Nakisakebe card works this way
* CatchPhrase: Love's "Let's obtain happiness!"[[note]]"Shiawase getto da yo!"[[/note]], Miki's "I am perfect!"[[note]]"Atashi kanpeki!"[[/note]], Inori's "I believe!"[[note]]"Watashi, shinjiteru!"[[/note]], and Setsuna's "I will do my best!"[[note]]Sei ippai, ganbaru wa!"[[/note]]. Also, Peach, Berry and Pine's personal attack will always begin with "Bad things, bad things, go away!"
** MadLibsCatchPhrase: Most of them aren't said phrase to phrase, but has variations like "I'll do my best (not) to X!", "We'll get our happiness!", "That's perfect!", "I believe that X..." etc...
** CatchPhraseInterruptus: At one point, Westar interrupts that.

** Kaoru-chan, the doughnut store owner, has a signature laugh "Guha!" which became his CatchPhrase. PlayedForLaughs during the FreakyFridayFlip when the Precures think he's okay when he laughed like that, not noticing that it's actually a ''bullfrog'' that got switched with Kaoru-chan, making the same sound.
** BorrowedCatchphrase: In the final episode, Miki and Inori switch their catch phrases, while Setsuna and Love do the same for their own.

''Fresh [=PreCure=]!'' is the sixth entry in the ''Anime/PrettyCure'' franchise. The title comes from the heroines' fresh fruit EdibleThemeNaming.

* ActorAllusion: In the Italian dub, Cure Pine's voice actress, Benedetta Ponticelli, does the Italian voice of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy]] (and Applejack too). Both Fluttershy and Inori are shy, kind, soft-spoken, and love animals. They also have yellow color schemes.

* ExtraordinarilyEmpoweredGirl

[[caption-width-right:350: ''Dance With Love To Victory!''[[note]]Clockwise from top right: Eas, Cure Peach/Love Momonozo, Cure Berry/Miki Aono, Tarte, Chiffon and Cure Pine/Inori Yamabuki.[[/note]]]]

[[quoteright:272:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FreshPrecure.jpg]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Miki, more like bluish-purple. Also, her brother Kazuki, and villains Wester and Soular when transformed. Setsuna, in every form, can also count, although in civilian form it could be considered as stylized black.

She soon forms a PowerTrio with her childhood friends: Miki Aono, an InsufferableGenius and fashion model who transforms into Cure Berry; and Inori Yamabuki, a kind-hearted animal lover who becomes Cure Pine. Together with WeaselMascot Tart and baby puffball thing Chiffon, they must track down Infinity and protect the world from Labyrinth's machinations.

* 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.

* MythologyGag: Many throughout the series. For instance:
** In Episode 12, little Love is forced to put on a wig of [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Cure Rouge]]. Other wigs seen include [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Cure White]] and [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Cure Dream]].
** Even the ''title'' is a MythologyGag: back in ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'', Nozomi had guessed the next Pretty Cure would be Cure ''Fresh''.
** In Episode 44, the girls are in a dance competition and advance to the next round along with the teams "Aurora Wave", "Spiritual", and "Metamorphose". All three are references to the [[ByThePowerOfGrayskull transformation phrases]] of the [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure previous]] [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar three]] [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 continuities]].

''Fresh [=PreCure=]!'' is the sixth entry in the ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' franchise. The title comes from the heroines' fresh fruit EdibleThemeNaming.

''Fresh'' was an attempt to refresh (no pun intended) the ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' franchise after the successful but derivative ''[[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Yes! PreCure 5]]''. 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.

A novel sequel takes place a year after the events of the anime, where Love is having a hard time deciding a future of her own as high school entrance exams are drawing near. Clower Town is suddenly attacked by a mysterious black-caped man who uses a new type of monsters called Fushiawase, resulting with the Cures, now joined by two former villains, stepping up again to fight the new threat.

* ActorAllusion: In the Italian dub, Cure Pine's voice actress, Benedetta Ponticelli, does the Italian voice of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy]] (and Applejack too). Both Fluttershy and Inori are shy, kind, soft spoken, and love animals. They also have yellow color schemes.

* RampageFromANail: The TyrannosaurusRex chasing after Cure Pine in the movie because a glass or sorts got stuck on its leg.

* CreateYourOwnHero: [[spoiler: Moebius attempting to kill Westar and Soular alongside Miki and Setsuna for [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outliving their usefulness]] causes their [[HeelRealization Heel Realizations]], and becoming the Cures' [[EleventhHourRanger Eleventh Hour Rangers]] after recovering from their [[DisneyDeath Disney Deaths]].]]
