Personality[]

Gentlu is calm and collected, and doesn't show much emotion. She isn't fond of using violent methods as it's against her policy. Gentlu prefers to carry out her mission without the Cures noticing. She is also rather sly and selfish, capable of easily deceiving her victims with clever words. However, when feeling stressed she can start acting impulsive.

Amane is actually a refined, diligent, kind, and thoughtful person. Amane cares about everyone around her, and can be very stubborn. She is also known to have a strong sense of justice. She wishes to make everyone smile, just like a parfait does. However, she was quick to deem herself not worthy of being a Pretty Cure or a student council president due to her actions as Gentlu. Ever since she put her trust in her friends, she managed to overcome those doubts. Even after joining the team, she still has some darkness in her heart, but she learns not to waver whenever those emotions start to get the better of her.

Relationships[]

  • Nagomi Yui: Despite being Gentlu, Yui knew that Amane wasn't a bad person, and reached out to her. After overcoming her past trauma, Amane managed to open up to Yui and rely on her for help, like making cakes for her brothers. She also shows concern for Yui, wanting her to learn table manners for a restaurant so she doesn't make guests feel uncomfortable.
  • Fuwa Kokone: Amane has deep respect for Kokone. Kokone helped her understand the importance of consideration, whereas she helped Kokone realize she had learned a lot from her parents.
  • Hanamichi Ran: As Gentlu, Amane had continuously used Ran's CureSta account to find Recipepes and even tricked Ran at one point. After overcoming her traumas, Amane shows concerns for Ran's manners and does her best to help her learn some table manners. She also learns to accept Ran's passion for food.
  • Parfait Recipepe: Amane has known the Parfait Recipepe since she was a child. After returning to normal, Amane thought she had let it down, therefore declining its offer to become a Cure. After transforming into Cure Finale, she goes back to being close friends with it. The two become closer after she apologizes to it for taking out her anger on it.
  • Rosemary: Amane gets along with Rosemary, and is happy to discuss her past as Gentlu if it means helping Rosemary with his mission. Unlike her friends, Amane initially didn't refer to Rosemary by his nickname until much later after she gets to know him better.
  • Secretoru: Her former colleague while working with the Bundoru Gang. Despite Secretoru's frustration, Amane always tried to prove herself to Secretoru, with varying results. After defecting from the Bundoru Gang, Amane is determined to stop Secretoru's crimes. However, she begins to pity Secretoru after seeing her get betrayed by Godatz, and decides to forgive her in the end.
  • Narcistoru: Amane never liked being around Narcistoru who enjoyed using her as a puppet. As a Pretty Cure, she dislikes the things he is doing, and will do anything to stop him from stealing people's precious memories. However, in the end, she decides to save him, while also making amends with him.
  • Kasai Yuan and Kasai Mitsuki: Her older brothers who she respects and cares for, although she can occasionally get embarrassed by their affection.
  • Shinada Takumi: They are schoolmates from the same grade. She normally calls him by his surname, and are mostly good friends as they both know Yui mutually. She is aware of his crush on Yui, which she teases him about sometimes.

Etymology[]

Gentlu's name, ジェントルー, likely comes from the words, "gentle" (ジェントル)? and "to steal" (取る)?.

Kasai (菓彩)?: Ka ()? can mean many things, such as "candy", "cakes" and "fruit",[1] which alludes to her motif as Cure Finale. Sai ()? simply means "coloring", "paint" and "make-up".[2] It is also a combination of "okashi", which means confectionary in Japanese, and gorgeousness, as revealed in the Oops! All PreCure Animage interview.

Amane (あまね)? has various meanings when written in kanji. Such examples are "heavenly sound" (天音)? and "the sound of rain" (雨音)?.[3]

Cure Finale is the last part of a musical or theater performance.[4] It signifies her dessert motif, which is the last course of a meal. It is also means the last savory of a meal.[5]

History[]

Past[]

As a child, Amane met the Parfait Recipepe by chance. Since then, she had become its friend and also made a promise to become a person who can make everyone around her smile.DPPC17

As Gentlu[]

Amane was brainwashed by the Bundoru Gang to do their evil deeds as Gentlu. Throughout the first few episodes, Gentlu steals the Recipepes and summons Ubauzos when the Cures catch her. But from episode 8 onwards, Gentlu starts experiencing headaches, with Amane continuously appearing within her to tell Gentlu to stop hurting the Recipepes.

Her headaches get even worse to the point that she starts doubting herself, and tries her best to make sure her actions don't hurt the captured Recipepes. However, in episode 11, despite her desperate actions to get back to the Bundoru Gang hideout, she is forced into the Delicious Field, where Delicious Yum-Yum Drain breaks her mask. Gentlu reverts back to being Amane, and the control over her is released. But then Narcistoru appears and takes her back to the hideout to brainwash her again.

Gentlu is brainwashed again, this time more intensely, to carry out her duties without hesitation. She attacks the Cures again, declaring that she is a phantom thief and nothing more, even not caring about hurting the Recipepes anymore. She retreats after her Ubauzo is defeated, but not without the Cures figuring out that the control she is under is way stronger and will erase her actual heart soon. Later, the girls trick Gentlu into targeting a hamburger steak restaurant that hadn't opened yet, not knowing it opened early, to try and talk some sense into her, but she refuses to listen. Just then, a hamburger steak Recipepe appears and Gentlu captures it and summons another Ubauzo. She then duels against Precious while Spicy and Yum-Yum take care of the Ubauzo. While she gains the upper hand at first and rebukes Precious' attempts to befriend her, the control starts to waver again after Precious shows her a drawing of a Recipepe Amane drew. She tells the Cures to break the spell over her, but Godatz intervenes and sends her dark heart to the Ubauzo to strengthen it even more. However, the Cures use MIX Heart Attack to purify it and destroy the heart, freeing Gentlu from Godatz's control and turning her back into Amane. DPPC12 She later returns to her home and has to temporarily leave school to recover both physically and mentally. DPPC13

Doubts About Being A Cure[]

After some time off, Amane goes back to school again. However, burdened by her time as Gentlu, Amane discusses with Yamakura Moe, the vice president that she is thinking of stepping down from her role as student council president. She then receives an unexpected heart crystal and notices the Parfait Recipepe. Upon realizing Narcistoru is out there stealing people's memories, Amane feels more guilty than ever. Although afterwards, Rosemary and the three girls insist that she will be a good fit for their team, along with more of the Parfait Recipepe's begging, Amane declines the offer, still believing that she is unfit, causing the crystal to darken. DPPC17

Becoming Cure Finale[]

While working in the parlor, Amane witnesses the Parfait Recipepe being stolen by Narcistoru. She runs out to confront him, but Narcistoru uses his Motto Ubauzo to pick-up Amane just as Rosemary summons the Delicious Field. Amane helplessly watches the Cures try to fight the Ubauzo without hurting her. There, she expresses anguish over seeing them get hurt because of her. She remembers how she hurt everyone despite her dream of making those around her smile. However, the Cures and Rosemary praise her and go all out to save her. Despite expressing more anguish, Precious' words resonate with her, which helps Amane admit that she wants to be the one to make everyone smile just like a parfait does.

With hot lava raining down, Amane is protected by the heart crystal, where its light has her remember her true feelings and her friendship with the Parfait Recipepe. The heart crystal turns into the Heart Fruits Pendant, which Amane uses to transform into Cure Finale. Without hesitating, she overwhelms the Motto Ubauzo with punches and kicks, before purifying it with Delicious Finale Fanfare. Having saved the Parfait Recipepe, Amane returns to the fruit parlor, where she reflects about everything that had happened with her friends and the Parfait Recipepe.DPPC18

Baking Cakes[]

After becoming Cure Finale, Amane meets CooKing, CooQueen, and Fennel for the first time. After she informs them about the location of the Bundoru Gang's hideout, she starts opening up to her new friends, and also decides to remain as the student council president. She decides to bond with her friends by baking and decorating cakes for her two brothers' birthday.

While baking the cakes, Amane warms up to her friends more, by telling them the reason why her brothers usually have two separate cakes for their shared birthday. She gets embarrassed when Yuan is the first one to find out. Upon realizing that Narcistoru has stolen her brothers' memories, Finale is determined to retrieve them by cooperating with her friends and even rescuing Precious who gets into a pinch, as well as harnessing her attacks to purify the Motto Ubauzo. At the end of the day, she is delighted that she gets to make brothers happy with the help of her friends.DPPC19

Bonding with Kokone[]

Amane and her friends are invited to Kokone's family's restaurant, but upon seeing Yui and Ran's lack of mannerisms, she decides to teach them how to behave at high-class restaurants. Despite her good intentions, her lesson comes off as unenjoyable. When the girls and Rosemary rent dresses for the occasion, Amane learns about Kokone's love for cute things, and notices how Kokone advises their friends differently than her.

That evening when the girls walk home together, Amane thanks Kokone for helping her understand that manners are about putting people's needs first. Upon noticing that Kokone does miss her own parents, Amane reassures Kokone by telling her that she has learned invaluable things from them, just like how Kokone taught her about consideration, and is left with lots of feelings when Kokone heads home.

The next day during the fight with Narcistoru, Finale is angry at Narcistoru for stealing the diners' memories that she almost gets attacked, until Spicy protects her. She then asks why Spicy thanked her the day before, and realizes through Spicy's answer that she had helped Spicy understand the lesson itself. Now understanding each other, both Finale and Spicy cooperate with each other to defeat the Motto Ubauzo, with Finale performing the finishing blow. Finally, both girls have a fun time dining with their friends, and take part in a graceful dance together.DPPC20

Understanding Ran[]

When meeting Ran on the streets, Amane notices Ran is upset that the sweets store Hagoromo House is closing soon. Amane and her friends visit the store to have some of its sweets. However, Amane has a disagreement with Ran afterwards, as she believes that Sakie has other reasons for closing the store, but unintentionally hurts Ran's feelings, so she can only watch Ran storm off.

The next day, after seeing Ran failing to advertise the sweets store at school, Amane gets worried and goes to the store with the others to find her. When fighting against Narcistoru's Motto Ubauzo, Finale finally understands why Yum-Yum's memories are connected to the store, and helps Yum-Yum by defeating the Motto Ubauzo. She then kindly explains to Ran that a place's history can be passed down through memories from one person to another, and both make up with each other as they enjoy the sweets with their friends on the store's last day.DPPC21

Helping Kome-Kome[]

When she and the other girls are doing their summer homework, Amane advises Kome-Kome to play with Pam-Pam and Mem-Mem so Yui won't be distracted. However, when she goes to get tea for her friends, she notices that Kome-Kome and Pam-Pam have gotten into an argument, so she tries to calm Kome-Kome down, only to watch Kome-Kome storm off. When searching for both Kome-Kome and Pam-Pam, she is accompanied by Mem-Mem and Rosemary, as they find out that Narcistoru has held Pam-Pam hostage. During the fight with Narcistoru, Finale decides to fight him one-on-one, and also encourages Kome-Kome to apologize, as she, after having a difficult time with Narcistoru, finds an opening to attack him. After the fight, she has a pizza party with her group of friends, and is pleased to see Kome-Kome having grown up again.DPPC24

Helping Princess Maira[]

When Princess Maira visits Oishiina Town, Amane and Yui are tasked to guide her around town. When Yui suggests she and Maira switch places, Amane protests but ends up obliging to take Maira around town. During the trip, Amane takes Maira and her friends to her house for a good meal, and to remind Maira about what she truly loves about food and smiles, although Amane is embarrassed by her brothers' carefree antics.

When Amane realizes that Yui has been kidnapped, Amane and her friends try to cover up Yui's transformation. Finale then takes Maira to the location of the speech with Yum-Yum and Spicy as the three claim that they are special delivery service people. In the end, they all watch Maira's speech and are all glad that Maira has found her smile.DPPC31

Facing Her Darkness[]

Amane and her friends are planning their Halloween party, but Amane begins to get upset after she and her friends listen to Rosemary's report about Narcistoru, remembering her past confrontations with him and even dreaming about being stopped by herself. She tries to soothe her spirits by making parfaits for herself and her brothers, but the Parfait Recipepe notices that she isn't okay. When feeling bothered by the Parfait Recipepe, Amane accidentally lashes out at it and hurts its feelings, causing it to disappear in front of her. Soon, to her shock, her Heart Fruits Pendant refuses to respond to her due to her immense guilt, meaning she cannot transform.

During the fight against Secretoru, Amane and Rosemary almost get hit by a razor attack from the Gossori Ubauzo, but they are both saved by the Parfait Recipepe. Understanding the Parfait Recipepe's perspective, Amane admits that she has to finally face the darkness within her, mainly stemmed from her grudge against Narcistoru. But after Rosemary tells her that having such feelings are natural and that she should never let it affect her, Amane finally comes to terms with herself and sincerely apologizes to the Parfait Recipepe, earning its forgiveness and apology, which fixes her pendant. After the fight, Amane invites the Parfait Recipepe to the Halloween party, with their bond becoming much stronger.DPPC33

Making Amends With Narcistoru[]

With her reign as the student council president coming to an end, Amane hosts her last cultural festival for the school. To her surprise, however, she notices that Narcistoru seems to have infiltrated the school. At first, Amane thinks she's seeing things, but quickly realizes Narcistoru is at the school when she sees him fixing appliances for Moe and her brothers.

Upon witnessing Secretoru about to dispose of Narcistoru with her Gossori Ubauzo, Finale remembers how he enjoyed the candied apple she made, and decides to rescue him. She and her team then help him return to prison after receiving his size-shrinking device, where she gives him another candied apple to encourage him to finish his sentence before he leaves. After realizing that Narcistoru did contribute to helping the festival, Amane is glad that he has finally changed after all. DPPC37
