Bio[]

Appearance[]

Kintoleski is a golden man with a muscular stature and build. He has red hair and a prominent moustache. In his human form, he wears a grey jumpsuit with a hoodie. According to the Memory Book, his design was based on Freddie Mercury.

Personality[]

Unlike some of the other villains, Kintoleski prefers to handle his foes head-on, rather than coming up with complex plans, unless ordered to. He sometimes shows up casually at PANPAKA Pan Bakery to buy bread without causing any trouble. He likes to train like a boxer for his fights, often jogging and lifting weights. He also reveals to Goyan that he is trying to "train" the Cures so that he can have an all out fight with them.

Relationships[]

Ms. Shitataare: In episode 45, the two compete over the title of the strongest Dark Fall member. He tends to judge Shitataare but he goes along with her favourite type of plan - disguises. Before being defeated by the Cures, he praises her, and Shitataare correctly deduces that he has feelings for her. So far, they have been the only villains to have a suggested romance without it being a tragedy or not reciprocated.
Moerumba: Teamed up in episode 43. When Kintoleski senses a power surge from the Cures, he warns Moerumba not to fight them, and even shouts when the hot-headed Moerumba ignores his warning anyway, showing some concern to his comrade.
PANPAKA Pan Bakery: A valued customer. Hyuuga Daisuke chats with him from time to time.

Etymology[]

Kin is Japanese for "gold", since he controls the Fountain of Gold. Also a homophone for "muscle" ("筋").

Kintore is an abbreviation of "kinniku (muscle) training".

Ski is similar to the pronunciation of "Suki", which means "like" in Japanese.

Hence, his name can be translated as "(I) like muscle training".

History[]

He is introduced in episode 33, being a customer of PANPAKA Pan Bakery. Since then, he becomes an enemy to both Saki and Mai after he tries attacking Korone and almost being destroyed by Spiral Star Splash.

He is defeated in episode 40. Being an honorable warrior, he gives the Cures his Miracle Drop after his defeat. He is revived in episode 42, but later is defeated again along with Ms. Shitataare in episode 45.

Dressed as santas, Kintoleski and Shitataare meet Saki's father at Pan Paka Pan, who welcomes his "regular" Kintoleski like an old friend, confusing Shitataare. Daisuke assumes the pair are married, angering Shitataare. Kintoleski reassures her that it must have been a joke and Shitataare suggests that they don't speak of this again.

Michiru, Kaoru and Mai recognize them right away. Kintoleski challenges Saki but she mopes around, still getting over her own heartbreak. She declares that Christmas is upsetting her and that Kintoleski and Shitataare are acting like a couple. Shitataare is surprised and Kintoleski doesn't comment, but it is Saki getting Shitataare's name wrong that makes the fight break out between them and the Cures.

They get overpowered by the two Cures, and while trying to stop the Spiral Heart Splash Kintoleski realizes that the Cures are about to defeat them, so he tells Shitataare that she was a great warrior, and he's happy to have fought with her. Shitataare blushes at his words and correctly deduces that Kintoleski has fallen for her, and the attack forms a heart around them. Kintoleski confesses by shouting "You are the one I like!" (アンタがスキー!, Anta ga suki!^?), which is a pun on his name. In their last moments, Kintoleski and Ms. Shitataare are looking at each other with endearingly thoughtful expressions as they perish together.
