History ContrastingSequelMainCharacter / PrettyCure

* Komugi Inukai/Cure Wonderful from ''Anime/WonderfulPrettyCure'' is the first lead Pretty Cure to be purely an animal who can transform into a human, rather than a pure flesh-and-blood human.

* Mayu Nekoyashiki/Cure Lillian is similar to Kokone Fuwa/Cure Spicy from ''Anime/DeliciousPartyPrettyCure'', both are socially awkward, have something to do with fashion/beauty and are more grounded/level-headed. However, while Kokone issues with interacting with others comes more from not knowing what to do, Mayu is a ShrinkingViolet NervousWreck who fears interacting with others in general.

*** In Hugtan's case, both are the main targets of the primary evil faction's members and [[BigBad its leader]]. Hugtan is a KidFromTheFuture who associates from the future; she narrowly escapes George Kurai, her father, and the rest of Criasu Corporation in the future timeline; she is revealed to be a teenager in the future as Cure Tomorrow before reverting to her infant form in the present. Ellee, on the other hand, associates from the past, who is an infant [[BornAgainImmortality bearing the predecessor Cure Noble's powers]] and her Cure form [[OlderAlterEgo transforms her into a teenage girl]], which becomes the bane of Empress Undergu, past Majesty's ArchNemesis, who wants her dead.

*** Kotoha/Haa-chan was reincarnated from her predecessor Mother [=RaPaPa=], a divine being who watched both the Magic World and No Magic World, who [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificed herself]] after sealing Deusmast and halting its destruction to both worlds. On the other hand, Ellee is the current bearer of the past Cure Majesty's powers, who turns out to be a legendary Cure who was enemies with the Undergu Empire in the distant past.

* ''Futari wa'' has Sanae Yukishiro, Honoka's grandmother, who is a survivor of a bombing attack in her childhood during World War II and has known Mipple for the past few years, which makes her knowledgeable about Honoka and Nagisa being Cures, despite keeping it as a secret. Its sequel ''Max'' has Akane Fujita, a much younger woman who is an alumna in Verone Junior High School, serving in the past as a member of the Lacrosse Club and is (at first) unaware of Honoka, Nagisa and later Hikari Kujou's true natures with Honoka and Nagisa being Cures and Hikari being the Queen's life, despite acting as a mentor figure to the three.

* In comparison to [[Anime/HeartCatchPrettyCure Kaoruko Hanasaki/Cure Flower]] acting as an elderly mentor figure to the ''[=HeartCatch=]'' Cures, Yoyo Nijigaoka, the mentor to the ''Hirogaru'' team, is vastly different to Kaoruko in many ways.
** Kaoruko was born in Kibougahana on Earth who was once a Pretty Cure before losing her ability to do so due to Dune, 50 years ago. Yoyo is revealed to be a foreigner who was born in Sky Land and came to Earth 50 years ago and has stayed there ever since, which in return makes her responsible for Mashiro's quarter-Skylandian heritage.
** Kaoruko is a RetiredBadass and a karate champion who was once a Pretty Cure in the form of Cure Flower and worked as a botanist, who is undoubtedly wise and speaks with old-school speech patterns. Yoyo is a Skylandian scholar from Sky Land who is a researcher regarding the human world, where she speaks in a very modern but intellectual manner, relying on her keen intellect and her adept mind, but she is extremely secretive and keeps it until the very right moment.
** Kaoruko has a long brown hair and wears a lab coat and a dark-green turtle-neck dress. Yoyo has a long white hair tied in a ponytail and wears a black turtle-neck dress with a red shawl, as well as glasses.

** Ako's inspiration as Cure was done after seeing her father being brainwashed by Noise, where she becomes the Masked Cure Muse to hide her true identity, believing she is forced to save everyone on her own. Hime becomes Cure Princess after the Phantom Empire attacked thanks to her screw-up, and her first reaction is to run away and gets defeated by a first Saiark.

* Amane Kasai/Cure Finale contrasts to Ellen Kurokawa/Cure Beat from ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure''. Both were initially brainwashed by the BigBad into serving their own evil factions, though they can be a contrast.
** Ellen was once known as Siren, who was brainwashed by Mephisto after becoming jealous towards Hummy's achievements, where during her time in Minor Land she was a {{Jerkass}} who clearly doesn't hesitate to act as one towards the Trio de Minor and to her opponents. On the other hand, Amane, once known as Gentlu, is calm and collected as a member of the Ubauzo, who is also sly and selfish, being able to deceive her own victims but can break down into an utter mess that she becomes impulsive; and rather than being a {{Jerkass}}, she instead falls victim to her fellow Bundoru compatriots who acted like selfish jerks towards her.
** Whereas Ellen was freed from her brainwashing in Episode 21 of ''Suite'' where she awakens her potential as a Cure from that moment, Amane was freed from Narcistoru's brainwashing in Episode 12 of ''Delicious Party'' and was initially reluctant to be a Cure for six episodes due to her being guilty of her actions as Gentlu; which took her up to Episode 18 to awaken her potential as Cure Finale.

* Amane Kasai/Cure Finale has some contrasts between the previous Cures up to ''Anime/TropicalRougePrettyCure'' and Ellen Kurokawa/Cure Beat from ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure''.
** Unlike the previous Cures who always have one fairy partner on their side to transform, Amane can transform into a Cure without a fairy, where she uses her transformation device Hearts Fruit Pendant, being the first Cure to do so in the series.
** In Ellen's case, both were initially brainwashed by the BigBad into serving their own evil factions, though they can be a contrast.
*** Ellen was once known as Siren, who was brainwashed by Mephisto after becoming jealous towards Hummy's achievements, where during her time in Minor Land she was a {{Jerkass}} who clearly doesn't hesitate to act as one towards the Trio de Minor and to her opponents.

** Unlike the previous Cures who always have one fairy partner on their side to transform, Amane's second transformation allows her to have two fairy partners (that being the Parfait Recipepe) as opposed to simply having one, being the first Pretty Cure to do so in the main series.

** Itsuki is a middle school student who has short, brown hair and brown eyes who often wears her own school uniform in casual settings. Akira is a high school student who has red hair and red eyes and wears casual clothing in casual situations. Itsuki is wise and princely who can be formal to others, as well as being short-tempered and kind. Akira is princely like Itsuki but is informal and fiercely loyal, who has a strong sense of justice and is much more boyish than Itsuki.
** Itsuki was raised by an influential family who is the granddaughter of Myoudou Academy's principal, as well as her being the leader of her family dojo. Akira lives a much more average life and lives with her grandmother and her sister Miku who is often hospitalised. While Itsuki has a TomboyAngst and has some reservations of acting like a boy due to being the HeirToTheDojo after her brother Satsuki fell ill, Akira is openly boyish both in personality and appearance who likes to wear male clothes without any form of angst at all.

** While they both have teenage bodies upon their creation, how they were created is different. Both Michiru and Kaoru were created by their father-in-name Akudaikan. Ruru is an android was created by Dr. Traum, who is actually modelled after his actual daughter.

** Ruru Amour/Cure Amour is different to the Kiryuu sisters Michiru/Cure Bright and Kaoru/Cure Windy from ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar''. All of them are {{Artificial Human}}s who were created by the villains, are {{Dark Magical Girl}}s who initially spied at the Cures for sinister purposes and later befriended them upon their HeelFaceTurn. Though Ruru is different to them in many ways.
