The Dark Pretty Cure 5 (ダークプリキュア5 Dāku Purikyua Faibu)? are a group of girls who were created by Shadow in Yes! Pretty Cure 5: Kagami no Kuni no Miracle Daibouken!.

They are actually the Crystals of the Mirror Kingdom recreated after being fused with the power of each Cure. They all represent the dark selves of Pretty Cure before they could transform.

History[]

The first member of the Dark Pretty Cure to be created is Dark Dream, Cure Dream's dark self. Dark Dream is sent to the Princess Land to spy on the Cures and the mascots, as well as watch over Higirin and Midarin. When the girls transform and fight against a Kowaina, Shadow acquires the rest of Pretty Cure's powers and creates the rest of the copies.

When Pretty Cure and Shadow meet each other in the Mirror Kingdom, Dark Dream introduces herself to the girls before the rest of Dark Pretty Cure come forth. They then all take their counterparts to different mirror locations to fight and kill them. However, while fighting, they encounter the Pretty Cure's light selves that contrasts the negative emotions the Dark Pretty Cure were created from. In the end, Cure Dream decides to spare Dark Dream in order to show her the world's kindness and teach her how to have fun with friends and smile, but the rest of Dark Pretty Cure are killed and return to their original crystal states.

When Pretty Cure and Dark Dream meet Shadow again, they watch in horror as Shadow has collected all Pinkies. However, it is revealed that it was a trick and that there is still one Pinky missing; the Pinky that Urara caught earlier. Furious, Shadow tries to kill Cure Dream, but Dark Dream runs in between them, resulting in her crystal bow - her life essence - to be destroyed. She tells Cure Dream that she wishes that they had met in another time, another place, but as she is a fake, it is impossible. As she starts to fade, Dark Dream tells Cure Dream that she still does not know how to smile, but is able to smile as she disappears.

After Pretty Cure defeated Shadow, the crystals used to create Dark Pretty Cure returned to their original size, and the girls put them back to where they were supposed to stand, reviving the Mirror Kingdom. In the end, Nozomi looks up at the magenta crystal that had once been Dark Dream and is sad to think that she failed to save a true friend. Coco, however, thinks that it was good that Dark Dream met Nozomi, as she therefore was able to smile.

Characters[]

  • Dark Dream (ダークドリーム Dāku Dorīmu)?: Cure Dream's dark counterpart.

She is Nozomi's past self when she did not know how to be happy with friends. Extremely aggressive and ruthless. She is annoyed by Cure Dream's enthusiasm and happiness. She was shocked to hear Dream telling her that she has a heart. Even though Cure Dream had the chance to defeat her, she instead befriended and accepted her because she wants her to have friends. This results in Dark Dream being the only one who survives the battle. However she sacrificed herself to save Cure Dream from Shadow, resulting in her life - the crystal - to shatter. She tells Cure Dream that she did it because she loves her, and dies as she claims that she still does not know how to smile, but in the end disappears while smiling. When fighting Cure Dream, her dimension is a carnival area. She is the only Dark Cure to have a transformation shown.

  • Dark Rouge (ダークルージュ Dāku Rūju)?: Cure Rouge's dark counterpart.

Extremely arrogant and wrathful. She is Rin's past self when she thought friends and companions were inconvenient. She is surprised when Cure Rouge admits that it might be foolish of her to value friendship, but the story portrays Dark Rouge as the bigger fool for flaunting her superiority. Enraged, She tries to finish her off fiercely, but is killed with Rouge Burning. When fighting Cure Rouge, her dimension is an area with green, blue and pink orbs resembling cells.

She claims she does not need friends, but is in the end moved by Cure Aqua's friendship. Cure Aqua claims to her dark self that even though that she was a loner and was also a terrible person, she begin to have a change of heart thanks to Nozomi and the others and finally made her personality grow strongly brighter after realizing that there's no point of being so lonely and sadden all the time. Like Cure Aqua, she can create a sword with her powers. Enraged at her change of heart, she tries to finish her off, but was eventually killed with Aqua Tornado.

Trivia[]

  • The Dark Pretty Cure 5 are the first instance where the concept of a team of evil Pretty Cure is used.
  • Only Dark Aqua is ever explicitly named in dialog, though other materials such as character polls have confirmed that the others' names follow the same pattern.
  • An early piece of promotional art depicted the group in more individualized color schemes - Dark Aqua wore a mostly-blue costume, for instance, while Dark Rouge's clothes were colored nearly identical to Cure Rouge's - but by the time the movie was completed and released, the five all wore black with colored accents, mirroring their heroic counterparts' similarly unified looks.
  • Unlike their good-doer counterparts, the Dark Cures have different voice actors and share their voice actors with characters from other seasons:
