Base entry for the ''Pretty Cure'' franchise.
Line 9 ⟶ 8:
The series distinguishes itself from other [[Magical Girl]] series in the high amount of [[Good Old Fisticuffs|physical fighting]] and [[Post Modernism]] included, and through the dynamic of having two central main characters [[Wonder Twin Powers|who can only transform and use their most powerful abilities in tandem]]; although, this element has been phased out as the yen poured in. The series focuses heavily on [[The Power of Friendship]] and the [[Character Development]] between the lead characters.
The first series was '''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure]]''' (''"The Two of Us Are Pretty Cure"''), a show where a [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]] duo of Japanese schoolgirls -- Nagisa Misumi and Honoka Yukishiro -- are forced to work together to fight the invading inhabitants of the Dusk Zone, retrieve [[Mineral MacGuffin|all seven Prism Stones]] and free the Queen of Light. As Cure Black and Cure White respectively, they set the standard for many of the show's recurring tropes. The show is also notable for its [[Seinen]] elements, including an abundance of [[Good Old Fisticuffs|action-packed physical combat]] (directed by the guy who did ''[[Dragonball Z]]''!) and blatant [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|yuri]] subtext between Nagisa and Honoka.
The show did so well that it got a direct sequel as '''Futari Wa Pretty Cure MaX Heart'''. The Evil King of the Dusk Zone revives ''again'' and the Queen of Light is forced to [[Pieces of God|split herself into pieces]], one of which manifests as a young girl called Hikari. Cure Black and White are [[So Last Season|given a power-up]] and sent out to [[Gotta Catch Em All|retrieve all the pieces of the Queen]] with the help of Hikari, who can transform into [[Sixth Ranger|Third Ranger]] and [[Support Party Member]] Shiny Luminous.

'''For individual series examples, go to their pages.
* [[Action Girl]]: All of them, save for [[Support Party Member|support fighter]] Hikari/Shiny Luminous. You wouldn't expect a magical girl franchise to be so full of movement and fighting.
* [[An Asskicking Christmas]]: The Christmas episode, more often than not, overlaps with the final battle.
