Yeah, the pieces do fit. They only discrepancies I see are the fact that Darknest seems to have actual powers and in Galogre’s flashback back in 32 we saw him arrive via a comet (also early on he was just a mass of energy with eyes).

It’s also possible that Fuyuki could at least have some other kind of connection with Darknest (like they met in the past and that’s what caused the former’s current distrust of aliens).

If Darknest does have some other identity (or is an AI that someone else is controlling) then his increasing desperation as the Precure gather more and more Twinkle Imagination is likely going to tip his hand eventually and force him to take direct action.

Remember, even the NotRaiders appear to have no clue as to who or what they’re leader is, just that he seemingly rescued them after they lost their worlds (though it seems likely that Darknest caused the destruction in the first place) and are now indebted to him. It just feels like there’s still a major piece of the puzzle missing here right now.

I give Toei credit for establishing a legitimate mystery here though and hope the payoff winds up being worth it.
