Also, given the evidence we’ve seen on screen (Darknest’s eyes have scanlines on them when you see them up close, we literally see the eyes just turn on in one episode, he speaks in a distorted voice, and in one of the recent episodes it’s shown that he can make projections), the current theory seems to be that Darknest is actually an AI wearing a robotic suit that either went rogue or is just a puppet currently being controlled by someone or something elsewhere.

Being an agent of the government, Fuyuki seems to be the only one who would have access to the technology needed to accomplish something like this. Of course with him now having lost his current position this might not be likely anymore, we’ll see I suppose.

Also unless he turns out to have a human form (and even then that’s going to take some justification) and/or the worlds wind up getting restored via Twinkle Imagination at the end I’m not entirely sure redemption is in the cards for this guy (it’s heavily implied that he’s already destroyed multiple worlds, meaning we’ve got a Precure villain on our hands that’s already killed a lot of people even before the series started).
