"Yes Precure 5, we promise you that one of these days we'll meet again, not as enemies, but as friends."
Hello everyone and welcome to the 34th Episode of Ask or Dare: Cartoon and Anime All-Stars Character Logs! And boy do I have a special treat for you guys! Today's episode is dedicated to all 5 Dark Precures!
WARNING!!
THIS CHARACTER LOG CONTAINS MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR YES PRECURE 5: THE MIRROR KINGDOM'S MIRACULOUS ADVENTURE. IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS, DO NOT PROCEED AND WATCH THE MOVIE FOR YOURSELF!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Still here? Well in that case, let's get started. Just remember, I gave you a warning, so don't get mad if you get spoiled.
Origins
The Dark Precures are all the secondary antagonists(Anti Hero for Dark Dream) of Yes Precure 5: The Mirror Kingdom's Miraculous Adventure, which first released in theaters on November 10, 2007. Dark Dream is voiced by Chinami Nishimura, who also voices Deondre/StarHero64's beautiful ice princess, Chloe, Dark Rouge is voiced by Miki Nagasawa, Dark Lemonade is voiced by Rie Kugimiya, who also voices Natalie. Dark Mint is voiced by Yuko Minaguchi and Dark Aqua is voiced by Reiko Kiuchi. While their movie never got a dub, if it did, I'd imagine their dub VAs would be Megan Harvey, Colleen O' Shaughnessy, Kira Buckland, Amanda C. Miller and Erica Mendez respectively.
Background and Personalities
(Pre Resurrection)
When they were created by Shadow, the Dark Precures were all cruel and sinister as they tried and and failed to kill their counterparts. During their time in the afterlife, Dark Dream told her sisters (Yes, they're sisters) all about how Nozomi showed her just how wonderful love and friendship were and that they should've fought by her and her friends' side instead of against them. The rest of the team were touched by their leader's words and were filled with regret about letting Shadow get away with using them as his pawns and realize he never truly cared about any of them. One faithful day, Shadow resurrected his fallen Dark Cures, so that he could have his revenge against Nozomi and her friends as well as kill us to ensure that no one could stand in his way to destroy the world.
Dark Dream: Huh? Where are we?
Shadow: Hello, my daughters.
Dark Cures: SHADOW!
Shadow: That's right. I brought you girls back from the dead and this time, we WILL not only kill Nozomi and her team, but also that stupid n**ga, Durand!
*the Dark Cures start getting flashbacks of all their deaths*
Dark Mint: That's never gonna happen.
Shadow: What?!
Dark Dream: You heard her, it's never gonna happen.
Shadow: You DARE talk back to your father?! I created you girls, you're supposed to obey my every command!
Dark Lemonade: Well you can forget it. Why should we listen to someone who doesn't truly care about us?!
Shadow: What nonsense are you talking about?!
Dark Rouge: You used us for your own twisted goals! You didn't even give us REAL names!
Shadow: Hmph. I don't give a f*ck about your feelings! You're going to help me destroy Durand whether you like it or not!
Dark Rouge: So you admit that you don't care about us!
Shadow: ENOUGH. Do what I say, or I'll kill each and every one of you here and now!
Dark Aqua: We already died by their hands and we won't let that happen again!
Dark Mint: We don't care about you anymore!
Dark Rouge: You've used us like tools for far too long!
Dark Lemonade: We WILL have our revenge here and now!
Dark Dream: Together, by our hands...
Dark Cures: WE WILL KILL YOU HERE AND NOW!
Shadow: So be it. You girls are nothing but a disappointment. Very well. If you girls will defy me no matter what... THEN I'LL TEAR YOUR REBELLIOUS HEARTS APART!!
*Shadow tries to kill his daughters by smashing their crystals, but then he realizes that HE made their crystals unbreakable*
Dark Dream: Hmph. That all you got?! Pathetic! Now that our crystals are unbreakable, you can't kill us! *in a sadistic tone* But we can kill you!
*Dark Lemonade uses Darkness Flash at Shadow's face, which STABS both his eyes!*
Shadow: GAH! MY EYES!!
Dark Dream: Rouge, now!
*Dark Rouge kicks Shadow in the balls, chucks him in the air, and then Mint uses Darkness Spread on him*
Dark Lemonade: Now it's my turn!
*Dark Lemonade then uses Darkness Waves on Shadow, which makes his ears EXPLODE with blood!*
Dark Aqua: Alright Dream, go for the kill!
Dark Dream: With pleasure! 😈
*Dark Dream's eyes start glowing, her palm charged up for an attack*
Shadow: I... can't.. lose.. to some pathetic... brats...
Dark Dream: Well too bad. You can't win against us.
*Dark Dream uses her new telekinesis powers and brings Shadow closer to her, then places her hand on Shadow's chest, her palm starts glowing as she prepares to unleash the killing blow*
Dark Dream: SWEET DREAMS! *MANIACAL LAUGHTER*
"Dark Dream unleashes her ultimate attack, the Death Palm, killing Shadow."
Shadow: NoOoOoOOOOooo!! *gets incinerated*
Dark Dream: Taste the fires of hell.
Dark Aqua: It's finally over...
Dark Dream: Girls, be sure to get some rest tonight. Because tomorrow, we begin our path of redemption and our search for the Precures.
Dark Lemonade: Do you truly think we'll find them?
Dark Dream: I don't think that. I KNOW that we'll find them.
Background and Personality
(Post Resurrection)
After killing Shadow and reuniting with their friendlier counterparts, the Dark Cures start their path of redemption and start becoming nicer, along with actually having some real personalities. Dark Dream is now headstrong, sassy and a bit clingy to Nozomi, but is also very sweet and is always there to help a friend, she's also very obsessed with her looks and is always looking for the latest fashion trends.
Dark Rouge is pretty arrogant as she always boasts about how "superior" she is to Dark Dream, all because she's jealous of her leader's huge popularity.
Dark Lemonade's personality depends on who's interacting with her. Whenever she's with me, Lily, Urara, Emily and Nozomi, she's extremely sweet and always acts all cute and innocent, but whenever it's anyone else, she's a very mischievous and cunning girl as she loves pranking the other characters in the series, and she manages to get away with it because when someone rightfully accuses her, she pretends to burst into tears and then gives me the sad puppy dog eyes, also, her singing is even worse than Maya's...
Dark Mint has two personalities depending on the context. On the surface, she acts like a kind and motherly figure to her sisters and the rest of the cast, but whenever we're in a battle, she shows off her secret femme fatale personality, which make the boys in the show horny as hell for her! Not only that, but whenever Mint's seducing her enemies, she's always only wearing a bra and panties, which gets REALLY disturbing!
And finally, Dark Aqua, the oldest of the 5 Cures, is very strict, short-tempered and always feuds with Dream because Dark Aqua thinks that she should've been the leader and not her. And whatever you do, don't give her a kiss, she REALLY hates it!
Friends & Allies (Dream)
Nozomi (Crush), Her Sisters, Urara, Emily, Lily, Mackenzie, Rin, Komachi, Karen, Deondre, V4 & Lincoln
Rivals
Regina, Patrick & Milk
Enemies
Shadow, Reina, Julie & Quico
Inclusion and Role in the Show
The Dark Cures reunited with their counterparts and made their debut in Episode 47: A Regrettable Flashback. They searched for us so that they would join the show and reunite with their counterparts as they had heard that they were part of the series. While Dark Dream is a main character, the others are VERY minor characters as they haven't gotten ANY questions and dares, not even Ani nor Deondre gave them any and they're the biggest Precure fans in the series! Here's hoping that changes in Season 3.
Relationships with Other Characters
Yes Precure 5: Self-explanatory.
Dark Dream and Patrick: Dark Dream is DISGUSTED with Patrick when he licked both her stomach and face! Like I said before, Dark Dream's the only one that has her belly button covered up!
Dark Dream and Deondre: Despite being in a relationship with Chloe, Deondre has a huge crush on Dark Dream and thinks she's smoking hot. Kinda sus, dude...
Dark Dream and Mackenzie: Since Mackenzie's a fashionista, Dark Dream often finds herself asking her for fashion tips.
Dark Lemonade and Quico: Oh, dear god... These two are irritating to deal with along, but together they're a tag team of pranking terror!
Dark Mint and Kim Possible: Kim gets really irritated with Dark Mint's secret femme fatale personality as Ron always turns horny because of it...
And that concludes today's episode of Ask or Dare: Cartoon and Anime All-Stars Character Logs! God that was long! Anyways, next episode will be about Bobby Santiago! Until then, thanks for reading and I'll see you all next time!
