Pretty Cures

Pretty Cure (プリキュア) is the main term used in the series to describe a group of girls who can transform into legendary warriors. The term was initially used as the main title for the first season, but is also included in the title of every subsequent season, each with its own theme variation.

In each season, there is a legend of warriors who will come to aid the world when it is in need, and stop an invasion of darkness. Thus, small mascot creatures from alternate worlds in need are often given the task of searching out chosen girls to take up the role of Pretty Cure. Although the original concept of Pretty Cure was of two girls who could not transform or use any attacks without being together, this concept has faded and recent seasons are now more diverse in ways of plot, transformations and attacks.

The term "Pretty Cure" can refer to either one girl or the entire group, and this wiki has decided to use the shortened term "Cure" and "Cures", with an attached title for specific reference (ie "Fresh! Cures" for the Pretty Cure of the season Fresh Pretty Cure!).

With the exception of the two sequels and the All Stars movies, every season's story occurs in their own separate universe, so the Cures from each season are the only Cures in their universe.

Futari wa Pretty Cure
Futari wa Pretty Cure (ふたりはプリキュア) is the very first season of the series, and thus holds the original idea of Pretty Cure. The two main characters need to be together, holding hands, and having an understanding for each other, in order to transform or attack. When their relationship is unbalanced, their fighting power slips, and they are unable to perform their attacks. Although this gives them a weakness, whenever their minds are in harmony and their friendship is strong, their power gets greater in turn. To transform, the girls require their Card Communes and Queen Cards.

The main characters of the season are:
 * Misumi Nagisa (美墨 なぎさ) / Cure Black (キュアブラック)
 * The leader of the duo, and the stronger one. She fights mainly using punches and physical strength.
 * Yukishiro Honoka (雪城 ほのか) / Cure White (キュアホワイト)
 * Though not as strong as Black, she is faster and more agile. She fights mainly using kicks and employs strategy to win.

Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart
Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart (ふたりはプリキュア) is the sequel to the first season. A new member is added to the team, although Black and White still transform and fight as a duo most of the time. To transform, Nagisa and Honoka require their Heartful Communes and Queen Cards. Hikari requires her Touch Commune.

This sequel introduces the concept of non-Cure characters who are able to gain Cure-like transformation and attack powers as well. This concept is later adopted by a subsequent season, Yes! Pretty Cure 5 Go Go! (Milk).

The new character of the sequel is:
 * Kujou Hikari (九条 ひかり) / Shiny Luminous (シャイニールミナス)
 * The "life" of the Queen. Luminous is very strong in battle and offers back-up support to the two main Cures. However, she is often protected by the other two due to her younger age, passive nature, and "new girl" status.

Hikari: ルミナス！シャイニング・ストリーム！

Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star
Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star (ふたりはプリキュアスプラッシュスター) is the first spin-off from the original season. While it still retains the main concept of Futari wa Pretty Cure, their are some notable changes. In this season, the creatures from the alternate world are called spirits, and the Cures get their powers from spiritual powers collected from the human world by these spirits. The concept of the season is based on the Japanese idiom "flower, bird, wind, moon" (花鳥風月), which symbolizes the beauties of Nature, or the traditional themes of natural beauty in Japanese aesthetics.

Like the previous season, the girls have to be together in order to transform and perform their attacks. However, the Cures use the power of the spirits to fight, thus they are able to create shields and fly in the air, and their attacks are more of a purifying nature than just defeating the enemies. This trend of purifying enemies is to continue through all the subsequent seasons.

A new plot concept is that of a villain who has a change of heart mid-season and gains Cure-like powers. Later seasons such as Fresh Pretty Cure! (Eas) and Suite Pretty Cure♪ (Siren) have adopted and expanded on this plot direction.

This season is unique in the sense that the girls acquire a second Cure identity later on in the story, while still retaining their first identity. Thus, they can freely transform between two different Cure forms. To transform, the girls need their Mix Communes and later Crystal Communes.

The main characters of the season are:
 * Hyuuga Saki (日向 咲) / Cure Bloom (キュアブルーム) / Cure Bright (キュアブライト)
 * She resembles Nagisa in personality, and is the leader of the duo. She is blessed with both the Earth's power of flowers and the Moon's power of light.
 * Mishou Mai (美翔 舞) / Cure Egret (キュアイーグレット) / Cure Windy (キュアウィンディ)
 * She is the more graceful and elegant of the duo, and balances out Saki's forward personality. She is blessed with both the Sky's power of birds and the Wind's power of wings.
 * Kiryuu Michiru (霧生 満)
 * Originally a villain, she later joins forces with the Cures, and at the end receives a portion of Moop's moon power to gain Cure-like powers.
 * Kiryuu Kaoru (霧生 薫)
 * Originally a villain, she later joins forces with the Cures, and at the end receives a portion of Foop's wind power to gain Cure-like powers.

Yes! Pretty Cure 5
Yes! Pretty Cure 5 (Yes！プリキュア5) is the first season to truly break away from many of the original Pretty Cure traditions. Starting from Yes! Pretty Cure 5, all the subsequent seasons belong to the Pretty Cure franchise mostly by name, as the plots and characters become more diverse and differ from the original concept of Pretty Cure.

This season is the first to break the tradition of having duo-Cures, with a total of 5 Cures, mirroring the popular concept of "Super Sentai" shows produced by parent company Toei Animation. Unlike the previous seasons, the girls do not need to be together, nor require a mascot to transform. Because of the number of Cures, the role of the leader in the group is more defined, as opposed to the balanced responsibility held by the girls in previous seasons.

A new concept set by this season is that mascot characters have the ability to transform into humans. A couple of subsequent seasons, namely Heartcatch! Pretty Cure (Coupe) Suite Pretty Cure♪ (Siren), Smile Pretty Cure (Pop), and DokiDoki Pretty Cure (Sharuru, Raquel, Lance, and Davie) have made use of this concept as well.

The Cure costumes have also significantly changed, with the Cures having costumes of similar design and a united theme of butterflies, unlike the previous seasons where there was no such unity in terms of costume. All subsequent seasons have followed suit, with a common costume theme between the Cures. In order to transform, the girls require their Pinky Catch.

In the movie Yes! Pretty Cure 5: Kagami no Kuni no Miracle Daibouken!, the concept of dark versions of Pretty Cure is first explored. Later seasons such as Heartcatch Pretty Cure! have adopted this concept and developed it further within the main TV series.

The main characters of the season are:
 * Yumehara Nozomi (夢原 のぞみ) / Cure Dream (キュアドリーム)
 * The leader of the group, she represents Hope and holds the power of crystals.
 * Natsuki Rin (夏木 りん) / Cure Rouge (キュアルージュ)
 * She represents Passion and holds the power of fire.
 * Kasugano Urara (春日野 うらら) / Cure Lemonade (キュアレモネード)
 * She represents Effervescence and holds the power of light.
 * Akimoto Komachi (秋元 こまち) / Cure Mint (キュアミント)
 * She represents Tranquility and holds the power of earth.
 * Minazuki Karen (水無月 かれん) / Cure Aqua (キュアアクア)
 * She represents Intelligence and holds the power of water.
 * Dark Pretty Cure 5 (ダークプリキュア5)
 * A group of movie-exclusive characters, these girls are clones of the 5 Cures. They are born out of the Cures' and Shadow's powers, and are representations of the Cures' dark sides. Individually, they are known as Dark Dream, Dark Rouge, Dark Lemonade, Dark Mint and Dark Aqua.
 * Coconuts (ココナッツ)
 * Featured in a play in Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo!: Okashi no Kuni no Happy Birthday!, this duo is formed by Coco and Natts by using the Miracle Lights.
 * Their role is to explain how to use the Miracle Lights to the audience.
 * Cure Coco (キュアココ): The Cure of Creampuffs.
 * Cure Nuts (キュアナッツ): The Cure of Sweet Bean Rice Cakes.

Yes! Pretty Cure 5 Go Go!
Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo! (Yes！プリキュア5Go Go！) is the sequel to the previous season. A new member is added to the team, and the 5 existing Cures gain a powered-up form. The season's theme is roses. To transform, the 5 girls require their CureMo. Milk requires her Milky Palette and needs to be in her human form Kurumi.

Following the previous season, the mascot Milk gains the ability to turn into a human. Furthermore, this sequel expands on the non-Cure concept first introduced in Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart, and develops the new concept of a mascot capable of gaining Cure-like powers as well. This concept is later adopted by a subsequent season and further expanded upon, Suite Pretty Cure♪ (Siren).

Incidentally, Milky Rose shares a similar introductory phrase as the Cures in Fresh Pretty Cure!, and it has never been confirmed whether this was deliberate hint at the next season or just a coincidence.

The new character of the sequel is:
 * Milk (ミルク) / Mimino Kurumi (美々野 くるみ) / Milky Rose (ミルキィローズ)
 * One of the mascots from the original season. Rose is extremely strong in battle, even more so than the original Cures. She has her own individual transformation sequence, items and devices, and specific attacks. Her power derives from the mysterious blue rose of miracles, the counterpart of Pretty Cure's red rose of hope.

Fresh Pretty Cure!
Fresh Pretty Cure! (フレッシュプリキュア！) is the fourth original season of Pretty Cure and the sixth season overall. It is often the first season recognized by fans as the start of the "modern Pretty Cure", due to the vast number of changes and new concepts introduced.

With the expansion of Pretty Cure as the largest and most popular magical girl franchise in recent years, the series underwent many adaptations to cater itself to a wider and more diverse group of audiences. With the target audiences' age demographic extending beyond young girls, this season was the first to feature more mature-looking characters (even though they are officially the same age as the girls from previous seasons) and Cure costumes which resemble fashionable outfits. All subsequent seasons have followed thus, with due emphasis always paid to costume design.

Fresh Pretty Cure! is the first season in which the concept of "utter transformation" was introduced. As such, the girls in their Cure forms and civilian forms look nothing like each other, with changes in their hair length, hair color, and eye color. In order to transform, the girls require their Linkrun. The season is based on dual themes of fruits and happiness.

In terms of plot, this season is the first to introduce a Cure mid-season, instead of introducing them all at once at the start. This plot direction is adopted by later seasons such as Heartcatch Pretty Cure! and Suite Pretty Cure♪.

Following Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star, Fresh Pretty Cure! expands on the plot concept of a villain who has a change of heart mid-season and gains the true power of Pretty Cure. This is also the first time a character from another world gained status as a true Cure. Later seasons such as Suite Pretty Cure♪ (Siren) have also adopted this plot direction.

This is also the first season in which the Cures gain the ability to power-up to an ultimate form. In the final episodes, with the power and hope of the masses, the Cures managed to transform into their ultimate form, Cure Angel.

The main characters of the season are:
 * Momozono Love (桃園 ラブ) / Cure Peach (キュアピーチ)
 * The leader of the group, she represents the pink heart of Love.
 * Aono Miki (蒼乃 美希) / Cure Berry (キュアベリー)
 * She represents the blue heart of Hope.
 * Yamabuki Inori (山吹 祈里) / Cure Pine (キュアパイン)
 * She represents the yellow heart of Prayer.
 * Eas (イース) / Higashi Setsuna (東 せつな) / Cure Passion (キュアパッション)
 * Originally one of the main villains, Eas the subordinate of Moebius of Labyrinth was reborn as Cure Passion mid-season. She is the first character from another world to gain true Cure status. She represents the red heart of Happiness.
 * Cure Angel (キュアエンジェル)
 * The group name of the Cures' ultimate form. Individually, they are known as Angel Peach, Angel Berry, Angel Pine and Angel Passion, without the Cure-prefix.

Heartcatch Pretty Cure!
Heartcatch Pretty Cure! (ハートキャッチプリキュア！) is the fifth original season of Pretty Cure and the seventh season overall. The season's theme is flowers.

After Fresh Pretty Cure!, this season is noted for the unique art style of the chief designer, resulting in the youngest-looking Cures in the entire franchise (even though they are officially the same age as most of the Cures from other seasons). The designer, known as creating another magical girl series "Ojamajo Doremi", also brought the concept of "active transformations" to Pretty Cure, when the girls actively apply magic onto their bodies to transform into Cures. This concept is also adopted in a later season, Smile Pretty Cure!.

Similar to Fresh Pretty Cure!, this season pays large emphasis to costume design, complying closely to the theme of flowers and adopting the concept of "utter transformation". In this season, the original concept of a mascot partner for transformation is brought back, and the girls require their respective mascots and their individual transformation devices to transform: Heart Perfumes for Tsubomi and Erika, the Shiny Perfume for Itsuki, and the Heart Pot for Yuri.

Plot-wise, Heartcatch Pretty Cure! also introduced additional Cures mid-season, as well as an ultimate form achieved near the end of the season, Super Silhouette and an infinity form Infinity Silhouette, where the Cures combine to form one entity.

In this season, the concept of multiple Cures is introduced, where the existence of Cures other than the 4 main heroines is a confirmed fact. The idea that a Pretty Cure can be created by science is also introduced in this season.

Incidentally, the attacks of the Cures contain musical terms such as "forte" and "fortissimo", although there is no other musical influence or reference throughout the entire season. It has never been confirmed whether this was deliberate hint at the next season, which has a musical theme, or just a coincidence.

The main characters of the season are:
 * Hanasaki Tsubomi (花咲 つぼみ) / Cure Blossom (キュアブロッサム)
 * The leader of the group, she is the only leader in the entire franchise who has a shy, pensive personality. Her theme flower is the cherry blossom, and she represents the flower of the Earth.
 * Kurumi Erika (来海 えりか) / Cure Marine (キュアマリン)
 * With an outgoing personality, she resembles the leaders of the other seasons much more than Tsubomi does. Her theme flower is the daisy, and she represents the flower of the Oceans.
 * Myoudouin Itsuki (明堂院 いつき) / Cure Sunshine (キュアサンシャイン)
 * Although there have been many tomboyish characters in past seasons, she is the first to actually cross-dress and actively conceal her identity as a girl. Her theme flower is the sunflower, and she represents the flower of the Sun.
 * Tsukikage Yuri (月影 ゆり) / Cure Moonlight (キュアムーンライト)
 * She is the first and only Cure of high school age, and is thus the oldest Cure out of all the main Cures throughout the series. Her theme flower is the rose, and she represents the flower of the Moon.
 * Super Silhouette (スーパーシルエット)
 * The group name of the Cures' ultimate form. Individually, they are known as Super Cure Blossom, Super Cure Marine, Super Cure Sunshine, and Super Cure Moonlight.
 * Infinity Silhouette (無限シルエット)
 * The entity created by the 4 main Cures and their fairy mascots uniting their love and power. As she was made by love with the intention of showing Dune the strength of love and hearts, it is possible she cannot give physical damage.
 * Mirage Pretty Cure (ミラージュプリキュア)
 * Mirages of the four main Cures in the Pretty Cure Palace they had to defeat to gain their Super Silhouette forms. Individually, they are known as Cure Blossom Mirage, Cure Marine Mirage, Cure Sunshine Mirage, and Cure Moonlight Mirage.
 * Dark Pretty Cure (ダークプリキュア)
 * A Cure created by science and technology, she is essentially the dark half of Cure Moonlight. She represents the flower of the dark side of the Moon.
 * Hanasaki Kaoruko (花咲 薫子) / Cure Flower (キュアフラワー)
 * Tsubomi's grandmother, who used to be a Pretty Cure. Her Heart Perfume was damaged when she sealed Dune away, and she has since lost the ability to transform. Her theme flower is the lavender, and she represents the flower of Holy Light.
 * Cure Angie (キュアアンジェ)
 * A Cure who appeared only in the movie Heartcatch Pretty Cure!: Hana no Miyako de Fashion Show... Desu ka!?, she is the very first Cure in the Heartcatch Pretty Cure! universe. Her theme flower and true identity remains unknown.
 * Other Cures (他のプリキュア)
 * While they have never been shown, there are fifteen or more statues of Cures in the Pretty Cure Palace, hinting that there were at least fifteen Cures in the Heartcatch Pretty Cure! universe before the present ones.
 * The statues implied that they had acquired Super Silhouette, meaning that there may be even more Cures who did not reach said level.
 * According to the movie, the first Cure appeared to fight and seal Salamander away, 400 years ago, meaning that there have been Cures appearing ever since 400 years prior to the present.

Suite Pretty Cure♪
Suite Pretty Cure♪ (スイートプリキュア♪) is the sixth original season of Pretty Cure and the eighth season overall. The season's theme is music.

The chief designer for this season was Akira Takahashi, who did the character designs from Kaidan Restaurant. The 2 main characters Hibiki and Kanade, like Nagisa and Honoka, could not transform without each other. Similarly, when their relationship is unbalanced, their fighting or Harmony power slips, and they are unable to perform their attacks. To transform, the girls require their Cure Modules as well as their respective Fairy Tone mascot partners.

Unlike Futari wa Pretty Cure, this season follows Fresh Pretty Cure! more in terms of character design, with more mature-looking girls and fashionable Cure costumes heavily based on ribbons and frills. The concept of "utter transformation" is strong in this season, in which the girls' looks change completely when they transform to become Pretty Cure.

In terms of plot, Suite Pretty Cure♪ adopts many plot directions previously used in past seasons. Mascots are capable of transforming into humans is reminiscent of Yes! Pretty Cure 5, and mascots gaining the ability to transform into a true Cure is a further development on a similar concept used in Yes! Pretty Cure 5 Go Go! with Milk. A former villain having a change of heart mid-season and joining the Pretty Cure is also similar to Cure Passion's story from Fresh Pretty Cure!.

A new plot direction introduced in this season is the existence of a masked Cure of unknown identity, who does not pick sides and remains aloof and in the background until her real identity is revealed. This season is also unique as half the Cures in the season are characters who come from another world.

Following the previous two seasons, Suite Pretty Cure♪ is the third season in which the Cures gain the ability to power-up to an ultimate form. In the final episodes, the Cures managed to achieve the Miraculous Transformation (奇跡の変身).

The main characters of the season are:
 * Hojo Hibiki (北条 響) / Cure Melody (キュアメロディ)
 * The leader of the group, she is straightforward and great at sports, reminiscent of Nagisa and Saki's half of the original Pretty Cure duo. She represents the wild nature of music.
 * Minamino Kanade (南野 奏) / Cure Rhythm (キュアリズム)
 * The calm one who balances out Hibiki's personality, she is great at studying and baking and is reminiscent of Honoka and Mai's half of the original Pretty Cure duo. She represents the graceful nature of music.
 * Siren (セイレーン) / Kurokawa Ellen (黒川 エレン) / Cure Beat (キュアビート)
 * Originally one of the main villains, Siren was controlled by the "evil noise" and fought against the Pretty Cure. Mid-season, she was reborn as Cure Beat due to her strong wish to protect Hummy. She represents the soul of music.
 * Shirabe Ako (調辺 アコ) / Cure Muse (キュアミューズ)
 * The princess of Major Land, she disguised her identity as the masked Cure and did not reveal herself until mid-season. She is the first and only Cure of elementary school age, and is thus the youngest Cure out of all the main Cures throughout the series. She represents the Goddess of music.
 * Miraculous Transformation (奇跡の変身)
 * The group name of the Cures' ultimate form. Individually, they are known as Crescendo Cure Melody, Crescendo Cure Rhythm, Crescendo Cure Beat and Crescendo Cure Muse, without the Cure-prefix.

Smile Pretty Cure!
Smile Pretty Cure! (スマイルプリキュア！) is the seventh original season of Pretty Cure and the ninth season overall. The season has a dual theme of fairytales and happiness.

The chief designer for this season was the one who did the design for Yes! Pretty Cure 5, so the concept of "Super Sentai" is revisited in this season, with a total of 5 Cures. The art style has also resulted in younger-looking Cures, a difference from the mature-looking Cures from the previous season. Similar to Yes! Pretty Cure 5, the girls do not need to be together, nor require a mascot to transform. They just require their Smile Pact and their respective Cure Decor piece.

As with the past few seasons, the concept of "utter transformation" is employed in Smile Pretty Cure!, with the girls changing hair length, color, style and eye color when they transform.

Following the previous three seasons, the Cures will probably gain the ability to power-up to an ultimate form near the end of the series.

The main characters of the season are:
 * Hoshizora Miyuki (星空 みゆき) / Cure Happy (キュアハッピー)
 * A bright and cheerful girl, who is the leader of the group, she represents sparkling light and holds the power of Holy light.
 * Hino Akane (日野 あかね) / Cure Sunny (キュアサニー)
 * Born and raised in Osaka, she is the only Cure in the series to have a distinctly different speech pattern, speaking in the Kansai dialect. Out of the 5 Cures, she has the greatest physical strength. She represents brilliance and power and holds the power of fire.
 * Kise Yayoi (黄瀬 やよい) / Cure Peace (キュアピース)
 * A timid girl, her fear is a weapon in itself as it results in unintended but dangerous outlashes at the enemy. She represents glitter and fun and holds the power of lightning.
 * Midorikawa Nao (緑川 なお) / Cure March (キュアマーチ)
 * Strong and courageous. She has to be a responsible and caring older sister to her six siblings. Out of the 5 Cures, she can run at the fastest speed, and can thus run up and along vertical walls. She represents intense courage and holds the power of wind.
 * Aoki Reika (青木 れいか) / Cure Beauty (キュアビューティ)
 * Out of the 5 Cures, she is the most rational, which together with her leadership experiences in school, makes her the level-headed one who talks reason into the others. She represents nobility and beauty and holds the power of ice.
 * Candy (キャンディ) / Royale Candy (ロイヤルキャンディ)
 * A Cure-like ally. She is the girls' primary fairy helper, manifesting herself in human form as the next queen of Märchenland. She is similar to Shiny Luminous in many ways.
 * Bad End Pretty Cure (バッドエンドプリキュア)
 * Evil copies of Smile! Cures, created by Joker.
