Line 14:
She soon forms a [[Power Trio]] with her childhood friends: Miki Aono, an [[Insufferable Genius]] and fashion model who transforms into Cure Berry; and Inori Yamabuki, a kind-hearted animal lover who becomes Cure Pine. Together with [[Weasel Mascot]] Tart and baby puffball thing Chiffon, they must track down Infinity and protect the world from Labyrinth's machinations.
''Fresh'' was an attempt to refresh (no pun intended) the ''[[Pretty Cure]]'' franchise after the successful but derivative ''[[Yes! Pretty Cure 5]]''. It lowered the number of main characters to a manageable three, allowing for more development per character, and increased the amount of action and drama. The show later introduces a [[Story Arc]] focused on Labyrinth agent Eas, who attempts to [[The Mole|infiltrate Love's group]] and steal her [[Transformation Trinket]], only for the story to [[Deconstruction|deconstruct]] [[Becoming the Mask]] in [[Villainous Breakdown|the most painful way possible]], culminating in the birth of [[Sixth Ranger|the fourth Pretty Cure]], Cure Passion.

Line 21:
* [[Bad Boss]] (Moebius is physically and emotionally abusive, especially to Eas, who just wants his recognition.)
* [[Bare Your Midriff]] (Miki as Cure Berry)
* [[Battle in
* [[Becoming the Mask]] (Horrifically de-constructed. Eas' new feelings of friendship towards Love cause her nothing but confusion and pain as Love systematically disproves her ''entire world view''.)
* [[Berserk Button]] (Apparently, Northa got the bright idea to try and brainwash Setsuna into coming back to Labyrinth -- and when that doesn't work, capture her instead -- in episode 42. Then the Cures, especially Love, become [[Big Damn Heroes]] and save Setsuna. Keep in mind that Love would hate to lose Setsuna a second time, especially after what both she and Setsuna went through right before Setsuna's [[Heel Face Turn]], and so she will not tolerate anyone trying to tear them apart now that their friendship has been set in stone as of the final moments of episode 23.)
* [[Big Damn Heroes]] (Episode 42)
Line 31:
* [[By the Power of Greyskull]] (''"Change! Pretty Cure! Beat Up!"'')
* [[Calling Your Attacks]] (Not just the actual attacks, but also Double Pretty Cure Punch, Double Pretty Cure Kick, Triple Pretty Cure Punch, and so on and so forth.)
* [[Cast
* [[Catch Phrase]] (Love's "Let's obtain happiness!"<ref>"Shiawase getto da yo!"</ref>, Miki's "I am perfect!"<ref>"Atashi kanpeki!"</ref>, Inori's "I believe!"<ref>"Watashi, shinjiteru!"</ref>, and Setsuna's "I will do my best!"<ref>"Sei ippai, ganbaru wa!"</ref>)
* [[Chest Insignia]] (the colorful four-leaf clover)
* {{spoiler|[[The Computer Is Your Friend]] (Moebius was a computer created by Labyrinth's citizens to manage the country. He soon decided that his creators were too weak to do anything for themselves and took his assigned function to its logical conclusion.)}}
* [[Combined Energy Attack]]: Lucky Clover Grand Finale.
* [[Cue the Sun]] (Cure Passion's first appearance.)
Line 42:
* [[Disney Death]] ({{spoiler|Setsuna is resurrected as Cure Passion,}} and later in the series, {{spoiler|Westar and Souler prove that you can, in fact, survive being sucked into a black hole. Guess the only one of the four cardinal directions villains whose death is going to be permanent is Northa's.}})
* [[The Dragon]] ({{spoiler|The frightening and [[Ambiguous Gender|androgynous]] fusion of Northa and Cline, though Northa and Cline themselves may be considered [[The Dragon|dragons]] to some extent. Cline even takes on the form of an actual dragon before the fusion with Northa.}})
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Evil Twin]] (Cure Passion has to deal with an impersonator of her former self, Eas, in episode 25.)
* [[Evolving Credits]] (Adding Cure Passion.)
Line 49:
* [[Frilly Upgrade]] (Cure Peach gets these after transforming into Cure Angel in the movie... {{spoiler|and eventually, the rest of the Cures get them as well, after accessing their own Cure Angel upgrades during the penultimate episode.}})
* [[Funny Afro]] (Love gets a couple of these every so often throughout the series.)
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]] (Done by {{spoiler|Cure Berry}} to {{spoiler|Cure Peach}} in [[The Movie]].)
* [[Girlish Pigtails]] (Love has Innocent/Ignorant Pigtails)
* [[Gratuitous English]]
* [[Heel Face Mind Screw]] (Mercifully averted, as the girls arrive [[Big Damn Heroes|just in time]] to save their comrade Setsuna from being brainwashed back into Labyrinth in episode 42)
* [[Heel Face Turn]] (Setsuna/Eas became Cure Passion, the [[Sixth Ranger|Fourth Ranger]] to the girls, in episode 23. {{spoiler|Then Westar and Souler, [[Disney Death|having recovered from being sucked into a black hole two episodes earlier]], help the Cures in their fight againt Northa in episode 48.}})
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]] (it's the mascots this time -- Tarte is clearly [[Digimon Savers|Agumon]] and [[Dynasty Warriors|the guy wields nunchucks]], and Chiffon... well, [[Chi's Sweet Home|Chi]]. Also, you'll probably recognize Miyuki's voice as that of [[Pokémon (
** Ayumi, Love's mother, is the main protagonist of ''[[
** Setsuna would later go on to voice [[Avatar (
** Tarte and Inori = [[The Kindaichi Case Files|Kindaichi and Miyuki]]. [[Freaky Friday Flip]] episode might be played because of this.
** Thank God Soular never screams [[Gundam Seed Destiny|STEL]][[Tales of Legendia
* [[High Heel Face Turn]] (Setsuna/Eas, [[The Smurfette Principle|sole female member of the antagonists]], becomes [[Sixth Ranger|Cure Passion]] and joins the protagonists. The sole evil female position, though, was filled by the decidedly more evil Northa.)
* [[Idiot Hero]] (Love, naturally)
Line 67:
* [[Last-Minute Hookup]]: {{spoiler|Averted with Love and Daisuke, but it looks good for them.}}
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]] (Cure Passion's identity was spoiled left and right by merchandising at least a month before she actually appeared on-screen.)
* [[Licked
* {{spoiler|[[Living MacGuffin]] (Chiffon was Infinity all along.)}}
* [[Lotus Eater Machine]] (The world of memories, created by Camera Nakewameke.)
Line 93:
* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]] (a popular fan theory for the nature of the people of Labyrinth; they can eat food and feel pain, but there's something not-quite-right about them nevertheless.) {{spoiler|subverted at the end of the series when it's revealed that they really were all human, just being mind-controlled by a robot.}}
* [[Secret Keeper]] (The first [[Pretty Cure]] series to have them!)
* [[
** [[Ship Tease]] (Miki hugging Inori in one of the previews)
* [[Shojo]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: Episode 12 is full of these. Just look at the wigs. There's even a [[Final Fantasy XIII|Sazh]] wig!
** Compare {{spoiler|Westar and Soular's explanation about their [[Back
** {{spoiler|Angel Peach's and Angel Berry's}} pose may [[Gundam Wing|seem]] [[Gundam Seed|familiar...]]
** Peach and Eas' fight in episode 23 [[
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: More like "Fourth Ranger". Anyway, Setsuna fills this slot starting in episode 23.
** [[Eleventh-Hour Ranger]]: [[Non-Human Sidekick|Azukina]] decides to join the girls from episode 45 onwards. Same with {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn|Westar and Soular]] after episode 48.}}
* [[Spanner in
* [[Special Edition Title]] (advertising the [[Bat Family Crossover]])
* [[Spell My Name
* [[
* [[Taking You
* [[Teleporters and Transporters]] (Setsuna's [[Transformation Trinket]] has the ability to teleport the characters to desired locations. Upon discovering this new power, the girls used it to retrieve forgotten items from their homes.)
* [[Theme Tune Cameo]] (The second ending music is used repeatedly during the series, and the first ending music is the song the Trinity group dances to in the first episode.)
Line 117:
* [[Transformation Trinket]]
* [[True Companions]]
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: You would think, that enormous [[Monster of the Week|Monsters of the Week]] (that cannot be [[Invisible to Normals]] due to their very purpose) and Pretty Cures beating crap out of each other in the middle of the town would draw some serious attention from the world.
* [[Weasel Mascot]] (Tarte, more of a ferret than a weasel)
* [[Where the Hell Is Springfield?]] (We know they're in Japan, but where the heck can we find Clover Town Street?)
Line 127:
* [[You Are Number Six]] (The citizens of Labyrinth are all numbered; although they don't use those numbers as names, Eas is addressed by hers in her letter.)
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]] (Miki, more like bluish-purple. Also, her brother Kazuki, and villains Wester and Souler when transformed. Setsuna, in every form, can also count, although in civillian form it could be considered as stylized black.)
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]] (Eas, who combines it with hot pants, and Cure Berry)
