Shakince (シャーキンス Shākinsu)? is one of Deusmast's loyal retainers in Mahou Tsukai Pretty Cure!. He is based on the crow tengu youkai.
Appearance[]
He is large and muscular. He has dark green skin and a long, angular faceshape with prominent cheek bones. He has light blue eyes, with yellow facemarkings on his cheeks and chin. He wears bright red make-up, some as eyeliner similar to Labut, and some as lipstick on his upper lip, making his mouth seem smaller than it actually is. Like Labut, he also wears gold rings, but as earrings instead of armlets.
In his monster form he grows to a humongous size, grows an additional pair of dark green wings and his clothing rips a bit. His arms and legs are also more muscular in appearance. His skin color becomes saturated and his eyes change to completely blue.
Shakince's design has some elements of classic karasu-tengu (烏天狗 karasutengu)?, bird-like yōkai, in particular his wings and legs and the fingered leaf fan he is holding when he first appears before the Cures.
Personality[]
Born from a stone statue, Shakince carries out his missions like a soldier and talks like one as well. He has a serious and cold personality, and favors destroying the Cures over a peaceful solution.
Shakince is not a fair player, breaking a promise to Chikurun to leave the Cures alone if their transformation items are stolen. His personal motivations for anything stay unclear. He also deliberately starts fights, even when he has no reason to attack the Cures in said circumstances.
History[]
Shakince first appears in the form of a spirit that resided within a stone statue. He, along with Benigyo, observed Labut as he tried to defeat the Pretty Cures but Labut failed and was destroyed.MTPC30
He made his first full appearance, but his Donyokubaru ended up being defeated by the Cures as well.MTPC32 He had his final fight with the Cures in which he transformed into his monster form and tried to crush the Cures under his feet, but ultimately lost to the Cures' Extreme Rainbow attack.MTPC42
As the attack shot him into the sun, where Deusmast's main body was sealed, Deusmast's return also featured his revival. Along with the other three Never Ending Chaos members, he fused with the main body of Deusmast and becomes one of Deusmast's four eyes.MTPC48 He was eventually defeated along with Deusmast by Extreme Rainbow.MTPC49
Abilities[]
He is able to summon Donyokubaru. He can acquire massive height like Labut, but instead of using his "mugic" (無法 Muhō)? elaborately like the former does, he tries to kill the Cures in a simplistic way by stomping on them.
Trivia[]
- Shakince shares his voice actor with Sirloin, the main antagonist from Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash☆Star Tick Tack Kiki Ippatsu!.
- As official size comparisons used as model sheets suggest, Shakince is the tallest character of the season. However, Labut was not included on the model sheets, and could possibly be taller than him.
