From there, all the main villains became music themed, but it is never worked into the story aside Towa's violin gimmick. On the others, Shut is visual kei. Lock is Oshare Kei. Towa is classical music. Stop and Freeze are Daft Punk/Deadmau5 and other such electronic music artists. Ooh interesting fact, though I may have to disagree a bit. The music theme each had, yes, it wasn't the best considering how I never would've possibly know about this until now. But the main reason why I find them enjoyable is that they have interesting takes on their behaviors. Shut and Close are interesting. For a sec, I thought Close would be the comedic one while Shut would be the opposite. They were, but at the beginning, due to how the cures (Flora & Scarlet if i'm more specific) changed them in the end switching their roles. However, they were still able to stay in character after their changes and still have effects on them with their motivations; serving Dyspear (if I can remember). Lock was shocking as he tried to overthrow and betrayed Dyspear, so yeah he's pretty menacing, at least to me lol. The only Go! Princess villains I, personally, didn't like were Stop and Freeze. I just find them a bit boring outside of their fights. Their designs are cool though.

But anyways, it's your call so no worries. Just wanted to share out my take on them ^^
