2	[[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]]]]
3
4	->''"Change, Pretty Cure! Beat Up!"''
5	-->-- '''Fresh Pretty Cure'''
6
7	''Fresh Pretty Cure!'' is the sixth entry in the ''Anime/PrettyCure'' franchise. The title comes from the heroines' fresh fruit EdibleThemeNaming.
8
9	[[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.
10
11	She soon forms a trio 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.
12
13	''Fresh'' was an attempt to refresh (no pun intended) the ''Anime/PrettyCure'' franchise after the successful but derivative ''Anime/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.
14
15	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 monster called Fushiawase, resulting in the Cures, now joined by two former villains, stepping up again to fight the new threat.
16
17	This installment is preceded by ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5GoGo'' and followed by ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure''.
18	----
19	!!''Fresh Pretty Cure'' provides examples of:
20	* AbortedArc: After her first battle as Cure Peach in episode 1, Love murmurs that her complete change of personality as a Cure was almost like someone was possessing her. This is never addressed again even once during the rest of the season.
21	* ActorAllusion: In the Italian dub, Cure Pine's voice actress, Creator/BenedettaPonticelli, 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.
22	* 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. This is especially not helped by the fact he gave ''everyone'' wigs, which prevents it from being embarrassing if only a single or a few got them.
23	* AlternateContinuity: To the other series.
24	* AnimationBump: Episode 12, despite being a comedic filler episode, is animated surprisingly well.
25	* ArtisticAge: Due to the art style, the characters look older compared to those of other series, but it's explicitly stated that the Cures are still 14 years old. Setsuna included.
26	* BadassNormal: Kaoru turns out to be [[spoiler:a secret agent. He even helped the Cures defeat a Nakewameke once]].
27	* BaseballEpisode: Episode 31 has the Precure challenge a Nakewameke made from an automatic pitching machine to a match.
28	* BattleInTheRain: Peach's last fight with Eas.
29	* 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''.
30	* BelligerentSexualTension: Love and Daisuke (even if Love's more genki than most tsunderes around), almost reminiscent of [[Manga/WeddingPeach Momoko and Yousuke]].
31	* BigDamnHeroes:
32	** Peach in episode 28 when she finally awakes after the camera Nakewameke immobilized her for most of the episode.
33	** Peach, Berry, and Pine in episode 42 after Setsuna's ISurrenderSuckers plan goes haywire.
34	** 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.]]
35	* BigEater: Westar. Best exemplified in episode 33, where he munched down boxes of takoyaki ''in seconds''. Him being very hungry at that moment probably didn't help.
36	* BluffTheImposter: Love pulls this in episode 40.
37	* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine:
38	** Episode 27 is entirely dedicated to this, including [[SpecialGuest a guest appearance from the very real comedy duo Audrey]].
39	** And earlier on, 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".
40	* BookEnds: Episode 23 has Love's attempts to get Setsuna to join rejected.
41	* BorrowedCatchphrase: In the final episode, Miki and Inori switch their catch phrases, while Setsuna and Love do the same for their own.
42	* BreakingTheFourthWall: Kaoru-chan, Tarte, and Chiffon during the introduction to the movie. In the credits, the cast gives instructions to the audience.
43	* BrickJoke: Westar and his "quest" to search a beach area in episode 26.
44	* BruceLeeClone: In the movie, Love ends up facing an action figure who sports a yellow jumpsuit, weilds nunchaku and yells out FunnyBruceLeeNoises.
45	* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:At the end of the series, Labyrinth is now a safe and friendly enough environment for Setsuna, Hayato, and Shun to return, and return they do. Of course, there's no reason why they can't come back and visit. Which Setsuna always does whenever [[Anime/PrettyCureAllStars it's time for the customary team up movie.]] And if ''New Stage 2'' is to be trusted, Setsuna still makes occasional visits to do dance training routine.]]
46	* ByThePowerOfGreyskull: ''"Change! Pretty Cure! Beat Up!"''
47	* 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.
48	* CastFromHitPoints: The Nakisakebe card works this way.
49	* CatchPhraseInterruptus: At one point, Westar interrupts that.
50	-->'''Peach''': Bad things, bad things--
51	-->'''Westar''': WILL NOT GO AWAY! Nakewameke smacked Peach mid-sentence
52	* CharacterCatchphrase:
53	** 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!"
54	** 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.
55	* ChestInsignia: The colorful FourLeafClover.
56	* ColossusClimb: Cure Peach does this during the movie.
57	* CombinedEnergyAttack: While not precisely an attack, [[spoiler: the Cure Angel transformations are essentially caused by this. The Cures' ultimate attacks, Loving True Heart and Loving True Heart Fresh, are straight examples of this trope.]]
58	** A villainous example occurs in the movie, which allows the villain to assume his OneWingedAngel form.
59	* ContinuityNod: We have a few callbacks to previous seasons in the form of wigs in episode 12: a younger Love tried on a [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Cure Rouge]] wig, an old lady is seen donning a [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Cure White]] wig, and there is a kid shaking Westar’s leg in a [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Cure Dream]] wig.
60	* CoverIdentityAnomaly: In episode 40, Ayumi got impersonated by a Sorewatase (courtesy of Northa) and gets locked inside a MirrorWorld whilst the fake Ayumi infiltrates the Momozono household. Problem is, it's clear Northa didn't do the research and thus, Sorewatase!Ayumi made ''a lot'' of mistakes, as listed below:
61	** For starters, it knew Chiffon's name and importance to the heroes. Ayumi knew Chiffon is in the house, but she didn't know it's a [[spoiler:LivingMacGuffin]] (let alone the fact it has a name) since the girls explained to her early on that Chiffon is just a stuffed doll.
62	** It didn't force Love and Setsuna to eat carrots and pepper, their respective [[DoesNotLikeSpam hated]] foods.
63	** It had Northa's markings on her body. Worse, Sorewatase!Ayumi didn't try to speak to Northa in secrecy. When Setsuna spots Sorewatase!Ayumi speaking to Northa, this gives Setsuna the clue that this Ayumi is not the real Ayumi.
64	** It called Setsuna by her real name, while normally Ayumi would call Setsuna as "Sets-chan". Love, who had been completely oblivious up until this point, finally gets suspicious.
65	** It didn't know that there were different bracelets made for Love and Setsuna. Love puts the one intended for Setsuna on her hands to test Sorewatase!Ayumi, and when Sorewatase!Ayumi says the bracelet's colors fits Love, Love ''finally'' realizes that this Ayumi is fake.
66	* CreateYourOwnHero: [[spoiler: Moebius attempting to kill Westar and Soular alongside Miki and Setsuna causes their respective [[HeelRealization Heel Realizations]], leading to them becoming the Cures' [[EleventhHourRanger Eleventh Hour Rangers]] after recovering from their [[DisneyDeath Disney Deaths]].]]
67	* CueTheSun: Cure Passion's first appearance.
68	* DancingTheme: This was the series that kick-started the trend of including 3D dancing themes for the ClosingCredits in all subsequent Pretty Cure series.
69	* DarkerAndEdgier: The series can get rather dark and frightening at certain points, or as dark and frightening as a show for little girls is allowed to be. The events of the mid-season arc, the implications of [[{{Dystopia}} Labyrinth]] in general, and pretty much everything Northa does come to mind.
70	* TheDayTheMusicLied: Episode 36, complete with RecordNeedleScratch.
71	* DebutQueue: The introduction of the Cures. It's averted during the power-up spree; not only does Inori get her MidSeasonUpgrade before Miki, but the upgrades do not occur in sequential episodes.
72	* DiegeticSoundtrackUsage: The first ending music is the song the Trinity group dances to in the first episode.
73	* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Setsuna is resurrected as Cure Passion,]] and later in the series, [[spoiler:Westar and Soular 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.]]
74	* DramaticThunder: Happens during an impassioned speech by Daisuke in episode 15...which promptly causes him to [[{{Fainting}} faint]] due to his FearOfThunder.
75	* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler: The Cure Angel upgrades.]]
76	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Soba Seller.
77	* EvilDetectingDog: Takeshi's dog, Lucky, recognizes Setsuna easily in episode 25 but doesn't attack her, realizing that Setsuna is no longer the Eas that attacked him in episode 3.
78	* EvilKnockoff: Cure Passion has to deal with a shadow in the shape of her former self, Eas, in episode 25. Northa also creates one for Ayumi in episode 40.
79	* EvolvingCredits: Cure Passion is added to the opening during the latter half of the series. Also, Northa's face is initially [[FaceFramedInShadow framed in shadow]] until she appears in the show proper. The OP song also received an update in episode 26, which makes ''Fresh'' the first out of three series in the franchise to have a second opening song (''Suite'' and ''Mahou Tsukai'' were the other).
80	* EyeCatch: Notable in that Chiffon's different costumes seen in one of the eyecatches actually appear in the series proper. They're seen at the begnning of episode 18, with the same music as the eyecatch. It turns out to be part of Miki's MidseasonUpgrade...and Chiffon's bear costume actually plays a role in the story of the episode.
81	* FaceOfAThug: A variation. A very stern looking elderly woman runs a candy store in Clover Town. We see her give out quite a bit of free candy.
82	* FaceYourFears: Buki (with her fear of ferrets) and Miki (with her fear of octopuses) had to endure this in episode 10 and 33 respectively.
83	* {{Fanservice}}: In addition to the more visible breasts, Episode 2 gives us a brief ShowerScene with Miki. Probably the only one we got in the whole franchise.
84	* {{Foreshadowing}}: In Episode 15, Setsuna has to choose between either a red bowling ball or a black one. She picks the black one, but later on she becomes the red Pretty Cure.
85	* FreakyFridayFlip: Inori and Tarte switch bodies in episode 10.
86	* 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.]]
87	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In episode 14 one happens when Westar runs into a pole.
88	* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Done by [[spoiler:Cure Berry]] to [[spoiler:Cure Peach]] in TheMovie.
89	* GoodColorsEvilColors: [[spoiler:Westar and Soular's [[HeelFaceTurn redeemed]] outfits had a white-and-cyan color scheme as opposed to the black-and-gray/teal scheme that they had before.]]
90	* GoodHurtsEvil: The villains cannot touch the {{Transformation Trinket}}s for this reason. The [[AmplifierArtifact Clover Box]] is the same.
91	* GratuitousEnglish
92	* HeelFaceMindScrew: Mercifully averted, as the girls arrive [[BigDamnHeroes just in time]] to save Setsuna from being brainwashed back into Labyrinth in episode 42.
93	* HeelFaceTurn: Setsuna/Eas became Cure Passion, the [[SixthRanger Fourth Ranger]] to the girls, in episode 23; the first villain to become a Cure herself. [[spoiler:Then Westar and Soular, [[DisneyDeath having recovered from being sucked into a black hole two episodes earlier]], [[EleventhHourRanger help the Cures]] in their fight againt Northa in episode 48.]]
94	* HeroicRROD: Love, Miki, and Buki ends up overworking themselves through their commitments with school, their dance practices, being Precures, and personal life matters such as Buki's animal hospital business and Miki's modelling jobs. Eas noticed this, and in episode 20 she secretly devised a plan to overwork the Cures massively to the point of reaching this trope. It worked: The Cures barely beat the Nakisakebe and then fainted not long after they detransformed at the end of episode, forcing them to be hospitalized. Eventually, they were able to balance it out better.
95	* 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.
96	* 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. 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.]]
97	* IdolSinger: More like Idol ''Dancer''.
98	* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: A rare villainous version: ''Westar'' tries one of these on Setsuna shortly after her HeelFaceTurn. Unfortunately for him, as he's not a hero it didn't work. Soular tries the same thing the next episode, also to no appeal.
99	* 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 lesson 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.
100	* InTheNameOfTheMoon: See the page quote. There's also this parody in episode 49.
101	--> ''The sweets heart is the emblem of deliciousness! Freshly made! We're the Doughnut Brothers!''
102	* InvisibleToNormals: Ayumi is unable to see the Elder when he gets brought to the Momozono family's house in episode 35.
103	* ISurrenderSuckers: Setsuna pulls a heroic version of this, pretending to accept Moebius' forgiveness so she can have a shot at destroying the Fuko gauge. It didn't go as well as she had planned.
104	* KamehameHadoken: What it looks like when the Cures continue shooting finishing moves, as seen on episode 7.
105	* KarmicTransformation: Much to her dismay, Inori ended up being placed in Tarte's body in episode 10 due to her fear of ferrets.
106	* KickTheDog: Eas does this Episode 3 by transforming a dog (Lucky) into a Monster of the Day. She would have a hard time thinking about what she did there when she (as the reformed Setsuna) had to face Lucky again in episode 25.
107	* LastMinuteHookup: [[spoiler:Averted with Love and Daisuke due to the former deciding to keep her answer vague.]]
108	* LateArrivalSpoiler: Cure Passion's identity was spoiled left and right by merchandising at least a month before she actually appeared on-screen.
109	* 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.
110	* LetsYouAndHimFight: In episode 43 the Cures have hallucinations that cause them to fight each other. (None of them actually realize they're fighting each other though.)
111	* 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]].
112	* LivingMacGuffin: [[spoiler:Chiffon]] was Infinity all along.
113	* LotusEaterMachine: The world of memories, created by the Camera Nakewameke. An inversion, a world where everything is full of despair, is created from Northa's Fuko Energy fog.
114	* MadLibsCatchPhrase: Most of the catchphrase aren't said phrase to phrase, but have variations like "I'll do my best (not) to X!", "We'll get our happiness!", "That's perfect!", "I believe that X..." etc...
115	* MagicalGirlWarrior: As per usual in the franchise, the Cures fight with both physical and magical attacks against the MonsterOfTheWeek.
116	* MagicSkirt: Both forms; thank the petticoats in Cure forms!
117	* MeaningfulName:
118	** The first kanji in Love's surname 桃 suits her pink color motif, and her forename [[GratuitousEnglish Love]] suits her being the Precure of Love.
119	** Two kanji in Miki's name, 蒼 and 希, suit respectively her blue color motif and her being the Precure of Hope.
120	** Inori's surname Yamabuki is the Japanese word for Japanese Kerria, whose yellow color is the same as her Cure form.
121	* MidSeasonUpgrade: The Cure Sticks for Peach, Berry, and Pine. Later, the Cures get another upgrade that let's them do their CombinationAttack FinishingMove.
122	* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal:
123	** 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.
124	** A straight example happens with [[spoiler: Westar and Soular, who join Pretty Cure when Moebius decides [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness they have outlived their usefulness]] despite their loyalty to him throughout the season with their only business against Moebius being finding out the truth who and what their boss truly is.]]
125	* 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.]]
126	* TheMovie: ''The Kingdom of Toys has Lots of Secrets?!''
127	* MusicalSpoiler: More like very subtle Musical {{Foreshadowing}}. If you listen carefully to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF0zs-WWr4c Labyrinth's Theme]], you should notice some very strange ambient noise which seems out of place, but it's [[TheReveal revealed]] in the GrandFinale that the noise is [[spoiler: BeepingComputers which refer to the fact that [[BigBad Moebius]] is really a [[TheComputerIsYourFriend well-meaning AI]] [[AIIsACrapshoot with a few screws loose]]]].
128	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
129	** Miyuki in episode 21 after she discovered her students were Precures. Earlier in the episode when the girls got hospitalized due to their HeroicRROD in the previous episode, she scolds the girls that unless they make themselves healthy again, they can't be expected to participate in the dance contest. The girls transforming in front of her made her realize that they have been trying their best and giving their all, both as dancers under her training and as Precures.
130	** Setsuna in episode 25 when she had to face Lucky again, realizing that she (as Eas) had turned Lucky into a Nakewameke in episode 3.
131	* MythologyGag: [[MythologyGag/PrettyCure Has its' own page]].
132	* NightmareFace: Employed by Setsuna, herself a Face for several episodes at the time, and ''Love'', of all people, in episode 30 ''simultaneously'' after they discovered Tarte ate all of their ice cream.
133	* NonHumanSidekick: Chiffon and Tarte. In the final arc [[spoiler: Tarte's fiance Azukina joins the group.]]
134	* 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.
135	* OddNameOut: Love/Peach, both in human form (her name is the only English-worded name) and in Cure form (unlike the others, her Cure name is not a shortened name of a fruit type).
136	* OneGenderSchool: Inori's school, Christian Private White Clover Academy... but it's rarely seen.
137	* 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.
138	* PleaseWakeUp: Peach's reaction to Eas' DisneyDeath. Also with the other Cures, Tarte, and Chiffon in episode 28 after the camera Nakewameke immobilized Peach into a deep slumber to her past.
139	* PowerGivesYouWings: Cure Angel in the movie... [[spoiler:and all four Cure Angels in the series.]]
140	* ThePowerOfFriendship: As usual with the franchise. Also serves as a major driving point for Setsuna's character arc.
141	* ThePowerOfLove: Guess which one of the girls has this power.
142	* PummelDuel: Cure Peach and [[spoiler: Northa]] briefly have one of these.
143	* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Although unlike other ''Pretty Cure'' examples, it starts to disband after Cure Passion's appearance.
144	* RampageFromANail: The Tyrannosaurus rex chasing after Cure Pine in the movie because a glass or sorts got stuck on its leg.
145	* RedemptionEarnsLife: [[spoiler:Happens to the initial three agents of Labyrint;. Eas or rather Setsuna defects in episode 23 after undergoing BecomingTheMask when infiltrating the Cures as their friend with her being resurrected into Cure Passion once her lifespan runs out. Westar and Soular perform a HeroicSacrifice in episode 46 after their boss decided that they outlived their usefulness and tries to get them cured along with Cure Passion and Cure Berry, but two episodes later it was revealed that Chiffon saved the duo and gave them new powers to help the Cures.]]
146	* RedHerring: Due to Akarun (the red key) being near her, the girls (and Tarte) at first think Miyuki is going to be the fourth Cure, but they're wrong... [[spoiler:since Akarun was actually trying to get near Eas, the actual chosen one, but was unable to bond with her due to her evil aura until episode 23 in which it resurrected her into Pure Passion.]]
147	* SecretKeeper: Several, in a first for the franchise. The number of people who know the identities of the Cures, their companions, and their mission kept increasing as the series progresses, eventually culminating in episode 45 where the Cures decides to reveal their identities to their loved ones before going away to do their final battle against Labyrinth.
148	* SeriesFranchise
149	* ShipTease: Miki hugging Inori in one of the previews.
150	* ShoujoDemographic
151	* ShoutOut:
152	** Episode 12 is full of these. Just look at the wigs. There's even a [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Sazh]] wig! It also includes a old girl with [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Cure White]] hair and a dog with strange [[Anime/{{Gaiking}} horns]].
153	** Compare [[spoiler:Westar and Soular's explanation about their [[BackFromTheDead comeback]]]] with the prologue of Series/KamenRiderBlackRX. Cue Kamen Rider jokes about [[spoiler:those two]] spread within the fandom.
154	** [[spoiler:Angel Peach's and Angel Berry's]] pose may [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing seem]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed familiar...]]
155	** Peach and Eas' fight in episode 23 looks like something out of ''Anime/DragonBallZ''.
156	** Name another Miki who has blue as her theme color and the spade from playing cards as her symbol; ''Manga/ShugoChara'' may come to mind.
157	** Take Love's surname, transfer it to Miki, and you pretty much got the civilian name of [[Series/DaiSentaiGoggleFive Goggle Pink]].
158	** More like a dub shout-out, since in the original it's not as similar, but in Episode 8, Love will shout 'Tornado Fire' at one point. But in the Italian dub, with a bit of translation magic, it becomes '[[VideoGame/InazumaEleven Fire Tornado]]'.
159	* SixthRanger: More like "Fourth Ranger". Anyway, Setsuna fills this slot starting in episode 23. Unlike [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Shiny Luminous]] or [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Milky Rose]], Setsuna is the first non-Earth-based girl to take up the "Cure" moniker.[[note]]Under the original showrunner, only girls from Earth could be Pretty Cure, hence why Shiny and Milky weren't considered Cures[[/note]]
160	** EleventhHourRanger: [[NonHumanSidekick Azukina]] decides to join the girls from episode 45 onwards. Same with [[spoiler:[[HeelFaceTurn Westar and Soular]] after episode 48.]]
161	* SolomonDivorce: Miki and Kazuki's parents.
162	* SoundtrackDissonance: Early on the movie, happy music plays as Love and friends had their fun time in Love's house, and occasionally switching into children losing their toys and crying... ''all while the same happy music plays''.
163	* SpannerInTheWorks: Klein didn't count on 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]].]]
164	* SpecialGuest: Episode 27 features a town festival featuring the manzai duo [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_(owarai) Audrey]]. The pair are sponsoring the manzai contest that the girls accidentally enter, and later use their BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine to actually help the Cures defeat the Nakewameke.
165	* StoryArc:
166	** Episodes 19 - 26: The Setsuna/Eas subplot becomes the focus of these episodes, climaxing in Eas's transformation into Cure Passion in episode 23 and her joining the Cures in episode 24. The arc is then capped off with two Setsuna centric episodes.
167	** Episodes 34 - 37: TheReveal of Infinity, the introductions of the Clover Box and Northa, and the Pretty Cure's new MidSeasonUpgrade are all part of this single story arc.
168	** Episodes 42 - 50: The finale.
169	* 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.]]
170	* {{Teleportation}}: Akarun, Passion's Pickrun, and Chiffon has the powers of teleportation.
171	* ThemeNaming: Jumping on the previous season's bandwagon, not only the mascots are named after food, but the Cures are as well (they were named after fruit types). The Labyrinth also gets this treatment: Four are named after directions (Northa, Eas, Soular, and Westar), and two are named after orientations - Moebius and Klein are taken from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Möbius_strip "Moebius strip"]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_bottle "Klein bottle"]]
172	* TheyStillBelongToUsLecture: Attempted several times after Eas' HeelFaceTurn. Westar 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.
173	* ThoseTwoGuys: Yuki and Kento. Their third friend, Daisuke, is a bit more important than the other two.
174	* ThreePlusTwo: Or Three Plus One in this case with their initially being three Cures with the team realizing they must be fourth due to their four-leaved clover symbol. This causes a ten-episode arc starting with the Cures trying to figure out who the fourth Cure is and ending with [[spoiler:Eas as Setsuna]] becoming Cure Passion. [[spoiler:Episode 48 then changes this into Four Plus Two with Westar and Soular joining the Cures in the fight against Moebius after they were betrayed by Moebius and saved by Chiffon.]]
175	* TitleThemeTune
176	* ToiletHumor: In episode 13, it is revealed that why Chiffon was sick in the episode was that [[spoiler: she was constipated. Love and Miki find this hilarious, but Inori doesn't]].
177	* TragicAbandonedToy: The antagonist of the film, Toymajin, is a teddy bear who was abandoned by his owner. After he moved to the Land of Toys, he began having feelings of sorrow and, after making a suit of armor out of discarded toys, became a dictator.
178	* TransformationIsAFreeAction: Justified case, as shown when Love transforms to Peach in real-time in episode 38. The transformation takes around a second and is shown as a brief flash of light that transforms Love into Peach.
179	* TransformationSequence: All Precures have StockFootage featuring their transformation into Cure form with the only difference per episode being their civilian clothing that fades away into light.
180	* TransformationTrinket: The Linkrun, a cell phone-like device. Love, Miki, and Buki's are created when their respective Pickruns enter their regular cell phones for the first time, while Setsuna's are created on their own.
181	* TrueCompanions
182	* UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler: Eas reveals herself as Setsuna and smashes the clover trinket as she reveals to Cure Peach that she only wants to defeat Precure... completely ignoring the fact that the latter had just recently saved her from the Nakisakebe vines. [[HighHeelFaceTurn She]] [[HeelFaceTurn gets]] [[SixthRanger better]].]]
183	* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: You would think, that enormous [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters of the Week]] (that cannot be InvisibleToNormals due to their very purpose) and Pretty Cures beating the crap out of each other in the middle of the town would draw some serious attention from the world.
184	* VengefulAbandonedToy: The antagonist of TheMovie is Toymajin, a robot who has taken control of the Kingdom of Toys. [[spoiler:His true form is a teddy bear that was abandoned by its owner, and the Cures help him find a new owner upon his defeat.]]
185	* 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.]]
186	* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: We know they're in Japan, but where the heck can we find Clover Town Street?
187	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes:
188	** 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.
189	** Daisuke's afraid of thunder, as revealed in episode 16.
190	** Miki is afraid of anything made of octopus, shown in episode 33.
191	* XanatosGambit: For Labyrinth's long-term plans, it did not matter whether or not the MonsterOfTheWeek was defeated by the Cures so long as they managed to gather Fuko Energy to fill up the gauge to reveal Infinity's location.
192	* YeahShot
193	* 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.
194	* YouHaveFailedMe: Eas in episode 23, and later both Soular and Westar in episode 46.
195	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Again, Eas in episode 23 and Soular and Westar in episode 46.
