Jikochuu


 * "Jikochuu" now redirects here.

Jikochū are the main monsters of Doki Doki! Pretty Cure that are created by capturing the hearts of people that have thought of doing something selfish. The Selfish Trio can turn a person's heart black with selfishness if the person thinks even just one selfish or evil thought, while Regina can turn everyone into a Jikochū even without any selfish thoughts.

They can be defeated with Pretty Cure's basic purification attacks. Jikochus are not made with an object. When the heart is captured, it grows bat wings. The villain then allows the black heart to expand 3 times before it explodes and the Jikochū appears. When the heart is taken from the victim, there is a black hole shaped like a heart in his/her chest.

The Jikochūs are voiced by Iwasaki Masami.

Appearance
All Jikochūs have same adornments. They have yellow eyes with a black iris, a black heart with grey outlines and dark bat wings, and sometimes they have batwings somewhere on their body. Jikochūs are the kind of monster that is born from selfish thoughts. (Example: Cut-in-line in Japanese is"横入り" which is crab.)  The color of the Jikochūs body depends on who made them. When they are defeated, they turn black, their eyes turn to hearts and they say "Love, love, love~!", then they disappear and the heart flies back to its original owner, and the black heart in his/her chest disappears.

Abilities
All Jikochūs have their own abilities and powers depending on what Jikochūs they are.

Trivia

 * The name of Jikochū comes from "Egocentrism" in Japanese (Jikochū shin).
 * Like the Desertrians from Heartcatch Pretty Cure!, Jikochū are created from peoples' hearts and speak the person's thought. However, the Jikochū feed off of greed and passion while the Desertrians feed off of envy and low self-esteem, also when the target for a desertrain has her or his heart taken, the body get in a glass ball, Jikochū targets just collapses and have a black heart mark.
 * Just like Desertrian with a dark bracelet and Hyper Akanbe. The villain can transform into a monster to fight the Cures. If damage is taken, it will cause pain and anger and absorb its life to the users.
