Witchy Pretty Cures [edit]

The Witchy Pretty Cures are legendary magicians who once fought against evil, each possessing immensely powerful magic and items called "Linkle Stones" (リンクルストーン, Rinkuru Sutōn). Today, Mirai and Riko both inherit the powers of the legendary magicians in order to search for the Emerald Linkle Stone. All magicians in the Magical World can perform spells with their wands by chanting the phrase "Cure Up RaPaPa!" (キュアップ・ラパパ！, Kyuappu RaPaPa!). Using the power of the Linkle Stones, Mirai and Riko can transform into Pretty Cures by holding hands with Mofurun and chanting "Miracle Magical Jewelry" (ミラクル・マジカル・ジュエリーレ, Mirakuru Majikaru Juerīre), and can perform purifying attacks with the Linkle Stick (リンクルステッキ, Rinkuru Sutekki). By using different Linkle Stones, the Cures can transform into four different styles; Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire, and Topaz, allowing them to use different kinds of magic. Cure Felice uses the Linkle Smartbook (リンクルスマホン, Rinkuru Sumahon) and Linkle Stone Emerald to transform with chanting "Felice Fun Fun Flowerle" (フェリーチェ・ファンファン・フラワーレ, Ferīche Fan Fan Furawāre) and attacks with Flower Echo Wand (フラワーエコーワンド, Furawā Ekō Wando).

Antagonists [edit]

Dark Magicians [edit]

The Dark Magicians (闇の魔法つかい, Yami no Mahō Tsukai) are the main antagonists of the first half of the series, whose goal is to acquire the Linkle Stone Emerald so their leader Dokurokushe can conquer the Magic World and the No Magic World with his dark magic. They also want the Linkle Smarthon after discovering Ha-chan's power. With the exception of Dokurokushe, his subordinates were originally animals which he infused with his magic to assume humanoid form and act in his stead due to his physical condition.

Leaders [edit]

Dokurokushe (ドクロクシー, Dokurokushī) / Kushe (クシィ, Kushī): Voiced by: Yōsuke Akimoto (Dokurokushe) Yuichi Nakamura (Kushe); The main antagonist in the first half of the series and leader of Dark Magicians, a power-hungry skeleton magician with great magical prowess yet is firmly stationed on his throne due to his ailing physical constitution. Dokurokushe rarely moves or talks with Yamoh the only one to interpret his body movements as commands. In truth, Kushe was originally a Magic School school teacher who a close friend of the Headmaster before obsession in studying magic to prevent a great calamity resulted in him turning to the dark arts which reduced his body into a skeleton with a desire to obtain the Linkle Stone Emerald to dominate the world.; After obtaining the Linkle Stone Emerald and Smartbook, he absorbs their powers to transform into a giant demonic skeleton to fight the Pretty Cure. Yamoh begged him to be absorbed as well, to strengthen him, but even this action could not overpower Pretty Cure. Kushe's spirit leaves his body as it breaks apart, Yamoh using the remains to create a more powerful Yokubaru.; As a skeleton, his mostly passive role makes his personality hard to describe, but his actions sometimes remind of his past kindness. He gave the animals the gift of magic, making them able to become powerful magicians on their own. He also kept a photo of the Headmaster and himself in the book of dark magic that he wrote. Finally, his ghost returned to the effigy Yamoh made of him, aiding his subordinates in battle once more, then disappearing for good.

Yamoh (ヤモー, Yamō): Voiced by: Yasuhiro Takato; A humanoid gecko and Dokurokushe's second-in-command. An eccentric short-sized clairvoyant, his fancy garments and curly white hair remind of western fashion in the period 1700–1750. He can predict using his cauldron. He is in charge of leading the others under Dokurokushe's order, and can interpret Dokurokushe's body movements. He often worries about Dokurokushe's health, and wants nothing more than his master succeeding in his goals.; He was absorbed by Dokurokushe during his final fight with Pretty Cure, but lost his tail before. Out of the remains of the tail, he was revived by Labut with a slightly altered appearance - his garments are simpler, darker in colour and his hair is loose. Appalled by Dokurokushe's demise, he uses Dokurokushe's bones to creates stronger Yokubaru and seeks revenge. He also makes an effigy of Dokurokushe and reports his progress to it. He uses Dokurokushe's last bone to fuse himself into a Yokubaru to capture Kotoha, and thus, the Linkle Stone Emerald. But he ends up defeated as well, and becomes a regular gecko again. Even in this moment, he seeks the company of the effigy. He shows up together with the effigy and along with the rest of his group is fused into a Yokubaru by Batty to fight Orba's Don Yokubaru. After this, he left together with Batty, still in his animal form.

He was restored back into his humanoid form by his love for his master after witnessing his return, or so it seems. The last remaining bone of Dokurokushe was the tooth Yamoh pulled out a long time ago after it had a cavity. The spirit remaining in the tooth revived into an entity who loves sweets and resembles the effigy Yamoh created. Chikurun supports Yamoh by supplying him with honey to make this version of Dokurokushe happy.

Subordinates [edit]

Batty (バッティ, Batti): Voiced by: Kōji Yusa; A polite humanoid bat dressed up in formal attire, with a long cape that allows him to fly. He deems Yamoh suspicious and accuses him of making up his orders. Dokurokushe then finally talks to Batty and powers him up, and he becomes highly loyal towards Dokurokushe and is depressed due to not being able to protect his master, calling himself a failure. Batty is attentive to his teammates, observing their respective final fights and taking them to their lair when they reverted to their animal forms. Sparda and Gamets, in their animal forms, lend him their wands to transform him into a powerful monster, and after his defeat he still keeps his humanoid form. When he tries to grab the Linkle Stone Emerald, its extracted his magic and reverted him to his original state before being found Sparda and restored to his human form by Orba. But Batty, feeling depressed, does not want to fight anymore. When Orba mocks dark magic, he gets fired up again and defeats Orba's Don Yokubaru with a Yokubaru combined from all his friends. He then leaves with them. Following Deusmast's death, he started to enroll at the Magic School.

Sparda (スパルダ, Suparuda): Voiced by: Yū Kobayashi; A cunning tactician and humanoid spider, who uses webs to snatch objects and for combat purposes. She is very direct and somewhat rude in personality. She loves dark magic and is the most invested in Dokurokuxy's idea of a world ruled by it. Sparda experiments with her magic, including living beings in it at times and pioneering fusing oneself into Yokubaru. While a tactician, her decisions are reckless, as the Yokubaru fusion ended up hurting her and she struggled to control it. Pretty Cure defeated her in this form, and she becomes a regular spider. She was taken home by Batty.; Later in the series, Orba, seeking to learn more about dark magic, gave her back her humanoid form. She seemingly acts as his loyal servant, but it turns out to be a ploy to resurrect her teammates and steal Dokurokushe's book from Orba. Orba turns her back into a regular spider, but she becomes part of a Yokubaru fusion that defeats Orba's Don Yokubaru. After that, she leaves with Batty and the others.

Gamets (ガメッツ, Gamettsu): Voiced by: Jouji Nakata; A strong soldier and humanoid turtle, dubbing himself a magic warrior instead of a magician. He dresses up like a Roman legionary and seeks fights like with the Precure mainly to test his strength. He stole the Linkle Stone Garnet and uses a secret magic to make himself very tall and more nimble, bursting his shell in the process. In this form, he challenged the Cures to fight him on a remote island. Following his defeat, he is satisfied by his defeat as he reverts to his original state. After being revived by Orba, Sparda goads Gamets into standing against Pretty Cure by using group's third member as incentive. He is angry at Orba and tries to fight him together with Sparda when Orba interrupts this "sacred battle" with Cure Felice. He is turned back into a regular turtle and becomes part of the Yokubaru fusion that defeats Orba's Don Yokubaru. After that, he leaves with Batty and the others.

Never Ending Chaos [edit]

The Never Ending Chaos (終わりなき混沌, Owarinaki Konton) are the main antagonists of the second half of the series, whose goal is to unleash chaos upon the world in form of their grand master, Deusmast, consuming the world. Deusmast was sealed within the Sun by Mother Rapapa

Deusmast (デウスマスト, Deusumasuto): The main antagonist of the second half of the series, an evil chaos deity that consumes worlds whose foretold return played in Kushe's transformation into Dokurokushe. Deusmast came into being from the fusion of four god-like magical beings known as the Never Ending Chaos who each possess the reality-bending power of Mugic (ムホー, Muhō). Though Mother Rapapa sealed Deusmast in the sun, the Dark Magicians' actions enabled Deusmast to create constructs in the form of the Endless Chaos members who prepare Earth for Deusmast's eventual return. Though three of the Endless Chaos members were sent back to the sun, the seal eventually broke and a reconstituted Deusmast fused the No Magic World and Magic World into one. But Deusmast was killed when the Cures manage to destroy all of them with Extreme Rainbow, separating the worlds while sending Deusmast into oblivion. Deusmast talks with all four voices of the Endless Chaos members, who form the orb-like eyes resolving around his body.

Labut (ラブー, Rabū): Voiced by: Naoki Tatsuta; The first of the Never Ending Chaos the Precure encountered, a sly and easygoing genie who considered himself superior of magicians due to his innate level of magic and ability to bend reality with a snap of his fingers. Labut emerged from his lamp following Dokurokushe's demise and revived Yamoh to do his dirty work in destroying the Cures for him before using Don Yokubaru after the Dark Magician failed him. Labut later takes battles into his hands by throwing the Cures into a different dimension where he showed his true god-like form, eventually separating them into different parts of the dimension. After Mirai saved her teammates, they killed him in their Over the Rainbow forms with his essence sent into the sun. Though revived and becoming 1/4 of Deusmast, Labut is killed again when Cures killed Deusmast as a whole.

Shakince (シャーキンス, Shākinsu): Voiced by: Shō Hayami; A serious and quiet tengu-like man who is dressed up in traditional Japanese clothing and talks like a soldier. He orders Chikurun to steal Linkle Stones for him. He then enlarges himself and swallow the Linkle Stones but Chikurun retrieved them again. He injured Chikurun, the Cures' feelings for Chikurun let them overpower him before they killed him with Extreme Rainbow. Though revived and becoming 2/4 of Deusmast, Shakince is killed again when the Cures killed Deusmast as a whole.

She wears armour on her arms and legs and is surrounded by a red, thorny halo. She is the only one left after her comrades kept losing to Pretty Cure. During the final battle, she used her teammates' powers to assume her demonic form to fight the Cures, she is almost killed, until she becomes 3/4 of Deusmast, making her the only member to never be defeated by the Cures until she is fused. Benigyo was killed again when the Cures killed Deusmast.

Orba (オルーバ, Orūba): Voiced by: Noriaki Sugiyama; A cold and condescending figure in the form of a fallen angel who seeks to study his enemies first before attacking them. He manipulated Chikurun into working for him. He stole Dokurokushe's book and uses it to revive the Magician Trio so he can study dark magic. He confronts the Cures, but was betrayed by Sparda, who tries to steal the book back after he started to mock dark magic and her old master. He assumed his demonic form to turn Sparda and Gamets back into their animal forms for their betrayal and the Cures killed him with Extreme Rainbow, but he still manages to revive his Endless Chaos comrades around the world with Dokurokushe's book before he dies. Though revived and becoming 4/4 of Deusmast, Orba is killed again when Cures killed Deusmast.
