12
13	[[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed What does it look like?]] Seriously, though, Gackt (Gakuto in some scanslations, Gackto in the Del Rey print, and Gaito in the anime) is a self-obsessed pretty-boy prince that somehow manages to wear a fur coat and sit in a hot tub underwater. The main antagonist of the first arc, his aim is to trap the seven princesses in PeopleJars, use their pearls to summon the great Aqua Regina, and destroy the world as revenge for his people, whom she sealed underwater millennia ago to punish their king. At least, that's what he ''says'' his motivation is. He may not do much but drink wine, hold roses and order his harem around, but he holds formidable power, and he's out to double it -- and Kaito just may be the key to do that.

19
20	!!Tropes associated with Gackto:
21	* AGlassOfChianti: Often seen drinking wine on his throne... even if he's underwater.
22	* AntiVillain: It's easy to pity him once you see how devoted he is to Sara and learn of his past.
23	* BigBad: Of the first arc.
24	%%* EvilOverlord
25	%%* DiscOneFinalBoss
26	* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: He really seems to like doing this; maybe he thinks it'll add to his battle harem.
27	* LoveMakesYouEvil: At first. He is madly in love with Sara, so when she tells him she wants to destroy the world he complies with her wishes.
28	* LoveRedeems: Once Sara herself is redeemed, his love for her is what eventually turns him to the side of good.
29	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Named after Gackt and modelled after him a bit as well.
30	* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: Invites Rina to dance with him in one episode.
31	* RedemptionEarnsLife: [[spoiler: He is revived in the last episode (dubious canon).]]

48	[[caption-width-right:124:''"The Dark Lovers will never die until I've captured Gackto-sama's heart!"'']]
49
50	These four strange women were Gackto's childhood companions under the seal, a group of sea creatures that he magically transformed into his own personal harem. Think about that for a minute. They're all completely devoted to him, but he plays with their hearts for his own ends, leaving them frustrated, eager to please, and constantly feuding with each other. When they combine their powers, however, they're a devastating force indeed.
51
52	!!Tropes associated with the Dark Lovers:
53	* AntiVillain: Yuuri and Eriru. Izuuru and Maria have the same sad backstory, but their obsessions turned them a little less sympathetic.
54	* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite viewing each other as rivals for Gackto and arguing, it is shown that they do each consider each other friends.
55	%%* BattleButler
56	* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Of the Unlucky kind: It turns out that they were Gackto's only friends as a kid.
57	* FourIsDeath: There are four of them, and they are villains.
58	* DungeonBypass: Yuuri in episode 10. She and Eriru were lost in a maze cave, she just blasted the wall saying "If it's like this the maze is no problem!"
59	* MadLove: They have it for Gaito.
60	* PerkyFemaleMinion: Yuuri. Eriru's friendly personality is an even better fit.
61	* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Of the first season.
62	* RedemptionEarnsLife: They are all revived in the last episode. But keep in mind that the canonicity of that is dubious.
63	* UndyingLoyalty: All of them towards Gackto [[spoiler:even choosing to return to him when he’s about to die, ensuring that they will die as well.]]
64	* YouHaveFailedMe: Gackto rotates through giving the Dark Lovers attention depending on who's failed recently.
65
66	!!Izuuru
67	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/izuru_2.jpg]]
68	Izuuru was originally a shark, and is the oldest and most overdramatic of the Dark Lovers, though the writer describes her as "the only normal one".
69	->'''Age:''' 30
70	->'''Voiced by:''' Sayori Ishizuka (Japanese), Elena Ruiz de Velasco (Spain)
71	* LoveMartyr: All of them, but Izuuru takes this up ten notches.
72	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Izuru or Izul.
73
74	!!Eriru
75	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/images_3_958.jpg]]
76	Eriru, formerly a manta ray, is an idiot who twirls around to switch between her "evil" and "normal" personalities.
77	->'''Age:''' 18
78	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukiMatsuoka (Japanese), Miriam Valencia (Spain)
79	* {{TheDitz}}/{{FriendlyEnemy}}: Her nice personality.
80	* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Her evil personality has glowing red eyes.
81	* JekyllAndHyde: Her first personality is friendly and harmless. Her second, on the other hand...
82	** She also has a third personality in the anime, which isn't very frequently seen. This one is distinctive for having more detailed eyes. In it, she's neither as perky or as evil as the other two; she is instead observant and thoughtful and can make some really insightful comments.
83	* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: A rastafari with cat ears and black feathered wings.
84	* RedEyesTakeWarning: When she's evil.
85	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Eril.
86	* SplitPersonality: As mentioned above, she changes personality whenever she spins.
87
88	!!Yuuri
89	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuuri.jpg]]
90	Yuuri, once a fish, is now a precocious, bratty child.
91	->'''Age:''' 12
92	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChiekoHonda (Japanese), Raquel Martín (Spain)
93	* BrattyHalfPint: And when she tries to act like an adult, she always looks more childish.
94	* DatingCatwoman: [[spoiler:Hippo with Yuuri, later on.]]
95	* EnfantTerrible: She's a kid and a villain, so...
96	* FriendlyEnemy: She later on tries her best to resist becoming this or [[spoiler:pulling a HeelFaceTurn.]]
97	* InterspeciesRomance: Besides their fixation on Gackto, Yuuri eventually [[spoiler:falls in love with Hippo.]]
98	* PersonalityPowers: The obnoxious Yuuri's loud piano.
99	* PrecociousCrush: She looks and acts about nine. Gackto treats her like the black sheep of the harem because he doesn't like little girls (not that he loves any of them), which ''almost'' causes her to HeelFaceTurn out of spite.
100	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Yuri.
101	* TheVirus: Yuuri's piano music.
102
103	!!Maria
104	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maria_7.jpg]]
105	Maria, an eel, became a cold and gorgeous ice user.

117	[[caption-width-right:350:''"Are you done yet? Now it's time for our own 'live start'."'']]
118
119	Not actually sisters. Probably. We hope. The Black Beauty Sisters are a mercenary couple of anglerfish turned into girls, who take the stage as enemies in both arcs. Unlike the Dark Lovers, who are motivated by love, and the Winged Ones, who are motivated by duty, the Black Beauty Sisters only care about what rewards will come out of working for Gackto and Michel. They're strong enough to pose a major threat to anyone they face -- except their bosses, that is.
120
121	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NorikoShitaya (Mimi), Miki Tsuchiya (Sheshe), Carmen Podio (Mimi, Spain), Creator/CarolinaTak (Sheshe, Spain)
122
123	!!Tropes associated with the Black Beauty Sisters:
124	* AntiVillain: Mimi becomes this halfway through ''Pure''. Sheshe only when [[spoiler:they're about to be consumed by Michel.]]
125	* AscendedExtra: Brought back from the first arc into the second.
126	%% * BringOutYourGayDead: They're the first to go.
127	%% * BrotherSisterIncest: If they really ARE sisters.
128	* {{Catchphrase}}: Mimi's "She's right, isn't she?"
129	* DayInTheLimelight: Episode 79 is about them having a fight and Mimi going to land to try to fight the mermaids alone.
130	* DeathEqualsRedemption: Their spirits briefly show up to help the cause of good in the last chapter of the manga.
131	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: They genuinely love and care about each other.
132	* EvilerThanThou: Well, they try, anyway.
133	* FairCop: In one episode, they dress up like this.
134	%%* FashionableEvil
135	* ImageSong: "Kuro no Kyousoukyoku ~concerto~" ("Dark Concerto ~concerto~") and "Yami no Baroque" ("Baroque of Darkness").
136	* LittleBitBeastly: Anglerfish women with fin ears.
137	* LineOfSightName: Mimi calls herself "Mari" as a human after spotting a pot of marigolds in the window.
138	%% * {{Minionshipping}}: A canon example.
139	* MonsterOfTheWeek: They're the only ones to summon them.
140	* RedemptionEarnsLife: They are revived in the last episode (watch out for dubious canon).
141	%% * RedemptionEqualsDeath: Anime only.
142	* {{Seme}}: Sheshe; taller, more aggressive, and always initiates contact with Mimi.
143	%%* SoloDuet
144	* {{Uke}}: Mimi; smaller and more fragile looking, as well as quieter.
145	%% * VillainSong: Both their songs, obviously.
146	* YouAreWorthHell: They don't care what happens to them so long as they are with each other.

153	[[caption-width-right:350:''"Just what am I!?"'']]
154
155	Michel, the main villain of the second arc, is a cruel, manipulative angel who attacks the weak and blackmails the mermaids to enlist them in his self-declared war against humans. Still, Michel is sympathetic in his own way. He's being used the entire time, given painful "medication" that only makes him weaker and drives him slowly into insanity. In there somewhere is a good person, but as long as he's absorbing people whom Lucia loves, it's hard to tell.
156
157	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JunkoMinagawa (Japanese), Fernando Cabrera (Spain)
158
159	!!Tropes associated with Michel:
160	* BigBad: Of the second arc.
161	* CrossDressingVoices: Voiced by Creator/JunkoMinagawa.
162	* CrystalSpiresAndTogas: His original home. What's more, he actually wears a toga, albeit a rather unorthodox one.
163	* ImageSong: "Tsubasa wo Daite" ("Accept my Wings").
164	%%* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight
165	%%* KillAllHumans
166	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: He not only induces it but has it himself.
167	* LifeEnergy: One of his goals is to steal it from powerful beings to become stronger; this eventually begins to consume him.
168	* LightIsNotGood: Not really surprising considering he's an angel, though its possible that the original intention was simply to depict him as villainous, since white has traditional connections with death in Japan.
169	* MissionFromGod: Or so he thinks.
170	%%* {{Mordor}}
171	%%* OurAngelsAreDifferent
172	* PerpetualMolt: His wings may never run out of feathers.
173	%%* PillarOfLight
174	* PowerGivesYouWings: He already had them, but he gets more.
175	* ShirtlessScene: The aforementioned unorthodox toga.
176	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Mikeru.
177	* ThePawn: [[spoiler: He's just a fake form of a fossil created by Fuku.]]
178	%%* VillainOverride
179	* VillainSong: "Tsubasa wo Daite" ("Accept my Wings").
180	* YouHaveFailedMe: Gackto, at least, was nicer about it than this guy.
181	%%* WeCanRuleTogether
182	* VillainousBreakdown: On top of everything that happens to him, the medication is driving him crazy.
183	%%* WingedHumanoid
184	%%* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds
185
186	!Winged Ones (Lady Bat, Lanhua, Alala)

188	[[caption-width-right:350:''"You made the ones you call trash... so what are you?"'']]
189
190	Reanimated from the ancient past, these three join the Black Beauty Sisters as enemies who can use music just like the mermaids. They are Michel's servants and do whatever he asks out of respect and duty, but they know a secret that even he doesn't, which Fuku is trying desperately to keep them from telling.
191
192
193	!!Tropes associated with the Winged Ones:
194	* AssholeVictim: Played fully in the anime. Because of their self-infatuated and villainious behavior, it's hard to feel bad for them when Michel absorbs them into himself once he declares that now he is complete and at full power after abosrbing his second half, Michal into himself, he no longer has any use for them at all.
195	* DeathEqualsRedemption: Their spirits briefly show up to help the cause of good in the last chapter of the manga. Averted in the anime, where they do not appear in final battle nor redeem themselves at all.
196	* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: No matter how hard they try, they never succeed in capturing Mermaid Princesses at all. Even Dark Lovers had more successes than them.
197	* FourIsDeath: With the Black Beauty Sisters together taking the fourth slot.
198	%%* PersonalityPowers
199	* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Of the second season.
200	* WingedHumanoid: It's never specified what their specific species are.
201	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Once Michel declares that now he is complete and at full power after abosrbing his second half, Michal into himself, he declares how he no longer has any use for them at all and eventually absorbs them into himself.
202
203	!!Lady Bat
204	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d9149580df95dea43a225d91d000b725.jpg]]
205	Lady Bat, a vampire who uses hypnotic attacks.
206	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SanaeKobayashi (Japanese), Elena Ruiz de Velasco (Spain)
207
208	* {{Bifauxnen}}: Lady Bat has a tomboyish, masculine appearance, but she is female.
209	* TheDragon: Implied to be this to Michel. Both in the anime and in the manga she's the first Winged One to appear and she seems to be the one most loyal to him. In the manga, Michel sends her and her only to capture the mermaids while he [[spoiler:kidnaps Michal]]. In the anime, Michel sends all 3 Winged Ones instead, but it's Lady Bat ordering Lanhua and Alala around.
210	* ImageSong: "Ankoku no Tsubasa" ("Wings of Darkness").
211	* KissOfTheVampire
212	* LesbianVampire: She states that she will give her love to the mermaids frequently.
213	%%* SissyVillain: Lady Bat.
214
215	!!Lanhua
216	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lh.PNG]]

218	->'''Voiced by:''' Megumi Kojima (Japanese), Pilar Aguado (Spain)
219
220	* AnimeChineseGirl
221	%%* DragonLady: Lanhua.
222	* ImageSong: "Hana to Chou no Serenade" ("Serenade of Flowers and Butterflies").
223	* InvoluntaryDance: Her song makes the mermaids dance.
224	* SmugSnake: She is seriously vain, narcisstic, smug and egoistical, constantly refering herself as beautiful while viewing mermaids like inferior.
225	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Ranfa/Ran Fa/Lang Fa.
226	* SuperDeformed: Her power has the side effect of splitting her into a bunch of chibi versions of herself.
227
228	!!Alala
229	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alala.jpg]]

234	* ImageSong: She has two: "Star Mero Mero Heart" ("Star Burning Up Heart") and "Oh, Yeah! Alala!"
235	* IAmSong: "Oh, Yeah! Alala!"
236	* {{Kawaiiko}}: She is obnoxiously cutesy, enough to make [[{{Hypocrite}} Hanon]] roll her eyes and groan.
237	* MinionWithAnFInEvil: She poses the least threat out of the three.
238	* PerkyFemaleMinion: Fits it much less than Yuuri does, though.

246
247	Fuku-chan is Michal's realistically drawn pet bird, who lives in a cage by her window. Fuku-chan is also Michel's simply drawn bird sidekick with a chibi human head and a halo. Tiny, arrogant and shrewd, he transforms and slips between these identities with no one the wiser, and tends to get slapped, thrown and snarked at by the Black Beauty Sisters and Winged Ones on the grounds of being a small annoying thing. Fuku-chan [[NotSoHarmlessVillain isn't as harmless as he seems]], though; he talks back to the Great One himself, he administers Michel's medication and keeps secrets from him, and only he knows the truth about Michal.
