Go! Princess PreCure (Go!プリンセスプリキュア, Gō! Purinsesu Purikyua), also known as Go! Princess Pretty Cure, is a 2015 Japanese magical girl anime series produced by Toei Animation, and the twelfth installment to Izumi Todo's Pretty Cure metaseries, featuring the tenth generation of Cures. [1] It is directed by Yuta Tanaka and written by Jin Tanaka, with character designs by Yukiko Nakatani. The series began airing on February 1, 2015, succeeding HappinessCharge PreCure! in its timeslot. [2] The series' main topics are hopes and dreams, with the Cures' overall motifs being princesses, keys, and perfumes. [3] It was then succeeded by Witchy Pretty Cure! on February 7, 2016.
Eight years ago, a young girl named Haruka Haruno dreamed of becoming a Princess like the ones in fairy tales and picture books, but was bullied by her classmates in kindergarten because of it. She later met a boy named Kanata, who gave her a strange charm while having her promise to never give up on her dreams. Eight years later, now 13 years old, Haruka attends the Noble Academy boarding school while still cherishing her dreams of becoming a princess. One day, she encounters two fairies from the Hope Kingdom: Pafu and Aroma, who are being pursued by a strange man named Close. The fairies tell her that he works for Dys Dark, an organization led by a witch named Dyspear who seeks to bring despair to the world by locking dreams away in the Gate of Despair. The charm she had turns out to be a Dress Up Key, which along with the Princess Perfume the fairies give her, allows her to become one of Hope Kingdom's chosen warriors: Cure Flora, a Pretty Cure to oppose Dys Dark. Later joined by Minami Kaido, Kirara Amanogawa and Towa Akagi as Cure Mermaid, Cure Twinkle, and Cure Scarlet, Haruka forms the Princess Pretty Cure Team to collect the Dress Up Keys needed to open the Gate of Dreams while protecting people's dreams from Dys Dark's forces.
The Go! Princess Pretty Cures, who represent the Hope Kingdom, are composed of four warriors: Cure Flora, Cure Mermaid, Cure Twinkle and Cure Scarlet. Chosen by their Dress Up Keys (ドレスアップキー, Doresuappukī), their mission is to find the remaining Keys while protecting the Gate of Dreams from Dys Dark. All four of them use a magical transformation item called a Princess Perfume (プリンセスパフューム, Purinsesu Pafuyūmu) which they activate with a Dress Up Key by saying "Pretty Cure Princess Engage!" (プリキュア・プリンセスエンゲージ!, PuriKyua Purinsesu Engēji!). Each also has alternate forms called Mode Elegant (モードエレガント, Mōdo Ereganto), in which they use their main attacks. They later use the "Crystal Princess Rod" (クリスタルプリンセスロッド, Kurisutaru Purinsesu Roddo) to perform more powerful attacks and enter a new Mode Elegant form using the Elegant Keys and Miracle Keys. Unlike the other Cures, Cure Scarlet instead uses the Scarlet Violin (スカーレットバイオリン, Sukāretto Baiorin) as her main weapon to perform attacks. They later gain more powerful attacks by using the Princess Palace (プリンセスパレス, Purinsesu Paresu) along with the Premium Dress Up Keys and Royal Dress Up Keys to access new Mode Elegant forms.
They introduce themselves as "Strongly! Gently! Beautifully! Go! Princess Pretty Cure!" (つよく! やさしく! 美しく! Go!プリンセスプリキュア!, Tsuyoku! Yasashiku! Utsukushiku! Go! Purinsesu Purikyua!) and their catchphrase is "O Dream entrapped within a frozen cage, I shall reclaim you now! Do prepare yourself!" (つめたい檻に閉ざされた夢、返していただきますわ! お覚悟は、よろしくて?, Tsumetai Ori ni Tozasareta Yume, Kaeshite Itadakimasu wa! O Kakugo wa, Yoroshikute?) Cure Scarlet's catchphrase is "O Dream entrapped within a frozen cage, I shall reclaim you now! Prepare to have your fate decided!" (つめたい檻に閉ざされた夢、返していただきますわ! さあ、お覚悟決めなさい!, Tsumetai Ori ni Tozasareta Yume, Kaeshite Itadakimasu wa! Saa, O Kakugo Kimenasai!)
The Royal Fairies (ロイヤルフェアリー, Roiyaru Fearī) are a group of magical animals who serve the Prince of the Hope Kingdom, entrusted to find the Pretty Cures and educate them to be a real Princess. Their appearance is based on the animal mascots from various fairy tales.
Dys Dark (ディスダーク, Disu Dāku) are the main antagonists of the series, who aim to trap people's dreams into the Gate of Despair and spread despair and chaos across the world. After taking over Hope Kingdom, Dys Dark's forces are dispatched to Yumegahama to find the Dress Up Keys. While Dyspear recovers in the Forest of Despair, she leaves Lock in charge so he and Shut can fuel the gauges to gather people's despair and speed up her restoration. However, after Lock's act of treason and purification, Dys Dark loses Hope Kingdom's castle, with a revived Dyspear creating a new palace from thorns. Dys is a shortened alternate spelling of despair. All the generals survive after Dyspear's defeat, with Close departing after fighting Cure Flora and Shut and Lock starting a new life in Yumegahama.
Close, Shut and Lock serve as Dyspear's elite subordinates and form a group called the Three Musketeers (三銃士, Sanjūshi). The generals' names are derived from words meaning to lock away (Close, Shut, and Lock) and from words meaning to halt something (Stop & Freeze). They have the power to trap people's dreams in the Gate of Despair to create Zetsuborgs, whose appearance varies depending on which general summoned them. Twilight can use her Dress Up Keys on them to increase their power and allow them to summon more powerful Zetsuborgs. They can also assume a monstrous form when battling the Cures in the series' latter half.
Unlike the rest of the series, Noble Academy is a boarding school with dormitories. Its students greet others by saying "Have a Good Day (ごきげんよう, Gokigen'yō)".
