Yes! PreCure 5 (Yes! プリキュア5 Iesu! PuriKyua Faibu?, Lit. "Yes! Pretty Cure 5") is the fourth Pretty Cure anime series by Toei Animation. The series started broadcasting on February 4, 2007 and ended on January 27, 2008 in Japan. The 5 in the title refers to the fact that this Pretty Cure team has 5 members.

Its sequel Yes! PreCure 5 Go Go! started its run on February 3, 2008. New characters, including a new Pretty Cure warrior, are introduced.

The anime is much very lighter, and more kid-friendly in tone than some of the previous Pretty Cure anime, and it is targeted at a much younger audience in that way.

[edit] Story

[edit] Yes! PreCure 5

Nozomi Yumehara, a regular student, finds a magical book called the Dream Collet in the library and meets Coco, a creature from the Palmier Kingdom. Nozomi decides to help restore his world, which has been destroyed by an organization called the Nightmare Company, by completing the Dream Collet and finding the 55 Pinkies to make any wish come true. By making her decision to help Coco, she proves she has the heart to be a Pretty Cure and is given her Pinky Catch from a pink butterfly letting her transform into Cure Dream. Meanwhile, the Nightmares are fighting the cures to steal the Dream Collet and defeat Pretty Cure. To help, she must choose a team of four other students to be Pretty Cure so that she may help protect the Dream Collet and save Nuts from his entrapment within. Together with Cure Rouge, Cure Lemonade, Cure Mint and Cure Aqua, they form the Pretty Cure Team.

[edit] Yes! PreCure 5 Go Go!

The Cure Rose Garden has always been concealed from human eye. Flora, the area's guardian, watches over it and makes sure the path to the secret area doesn't appear. However Eternal, an art organization known for amassing treasure and artwork from many worlds, is trying to get to the garden. To do this, they first invade the Palmier Kingdom and four other kingdoms. Flora senses her approaching danger and sends a letter to Nozomi and the Pretty Cure 5. Their new mission is to find the four rulers that have fled from their kingdoms since they hold the Rose Garden Keys.

To perform this mission, Nozomi and the others regain their ability to transform into PreCure Five and a new Cure; Milky Rose, appears.

[edit] Pretty Cure

Nozomi Yumehara (夢原 のぞみ Yumehara Nozomi?) / Cure Dream (キュアドリーム Kyua Dorīmu?), Pretty Cure of Hope
Voiced by: Yūko Sanpei
A second-year student at L'École des Cinq Lumières Middle School, Nozomi appears to be a typical shōjo heroine, and does not know what to do with her life. Her father works as an author of children's stories and her mother runs a beauty shop. She has a habit of saying "It's decided!" when she decides on something not exactly with everyone's permission. Formed a crush on Coco (in his human form) at first sight, and her feelings grow as the series progresses. This also has started a love triangle between her and Milk for Coco, because both have feelings for him. Though her teammates are vastly different from her, Nozomi learns how to become their friend, and their leader.
Cure Dream wears pink, and her costume has a design resembling that of Cure Rouge. Her given name is pronounced, though not written, the same way as the Japanese word for hope, nozomi, and part of her surname (yume) means 'dream' in Japanese.
She introduces herself as "Great Power of Hope, Cure Dream!" (大いなる希望の力、キュア・ドリーム！ Ōi naru kibō no chikara, Kyua Dorīmu!?)
Attacks:
1. "The great potential of a young girl's dream...take this! Pretty Cure Dream Attack!" (夢見る乙女の底力、受けてみなさい！プリキュア・ドリーム・アタック！ Yumemiru otome no sokojikara, uketeminasai! Purikyua Dorīmu Atakku!?)

3. In Yes! Precure 5 GoGo!: "Purikyua! Shūtingu Sutā!" "PreCure Shooting Star!" (プリキュア・シューティングスター！)
Rin Natsuki (夏木 りん Natsuki Rin?) / Cure Rouge (キュアルージュ Kyua Rūju?), Pretty Cure of Passion
Voiced by: Junko Takeuchi
This second-year student appears as a tomboy and plays enough sports to have every team clamouring for her to join them, but indulges in a few feminine pursuits, such as a love of boys. She has a very straightforward and down-to-earth personality that sharply contrasts with the cheery and optimistic Nozomi. Her parents run a flower shop. Rin wears red-orange, and she transforms into Cure Rouge; her counterpart is her best friend, Cure Dream.
She introduces herself as "Red Flame of Passion, Cure Rouge!" (情熱の赤い炎、キュア・ルージュ！ Jōnetsu no akai honō, Kyua Rūju!?)

Urara Kasugano (春日野 うらら Kasugano Urara?) / Cure Lemonade (キュアレモネード Kyua Remonēdo?), Pretty Cure of Effervescence
Voiced by: Mariya Ise
Urara is the youngest member of the Pretty Cure. She is a sweet blonde first-year and a transfer student. She puts on a smiling face to all, but can only be herself around Nozomi and her friends. Because she is always busy and is now acting in a TV drama, she has no friends outside of the Cures. Before she joined the team, she learned of Nozomi's and Rin's identities, and was not nearly as shocked as the others, likely because the drama that she had been cast in appears to be based on the Splash Star series. Cure Lemonade wears yellow and has no counterpart.
She introduces herself as "Effervescent Scent of Lemon, Cure Lemonade!" (はじけるレモンの香り キュアレモネード！ Hajikeru remon no kaori, Kyua Remonēdo!?)
Attacks:
1. "The effervescent power of a young girl's sparkle...take this! Pretty Cure Lemonade Flash!" (輝く乙女のはじける力、受けてみなさい！プリキュア・レモネード・フラッシュ！ Kagayaku otome no hajikeru chikara, uketeminasai! Purikyua Remonēdo Furasshu!?)

3. In Yes! Precure 5 GoGo!: "Purikyua! Purizumu Chēn!" "PreCure Prism Chain!" (プリキュア・プリズムチェーン！)
Komachi Akimoto (秋元 こまち Akimoto Komachi?) / Cure Mint (キュアミント Kyua Minto?), Pretty Cure of Tranquility
Voiced by: Ai Nagano
Another third-year, Komachi is kind and shy, and likes to read books and write. However, once she is angered enough, she will snap and release her temper. Along with her best friend Karen, Komachi is also a popular senior at her school. She is a volunteer at the school library, along with Karen/Cure Aqua, and often spends her time there writing stories. Her dream is to become a writer, and she exhibits particular talent in this: Nuts praised her first completed story (upon the 7th revision), and he does not give praise lightly. She has romantic feelings for Nuts, which she expresses in the form of her second novel. Her parents own a traditional Japanese sweetshop.
The green-clad Cure Mint is the counterpart of Cure Aqua. Fans noted that her appearance is similar to Lettuce Midorikawa of Tokyo Mew Mew.
She introduces herself as "Tranquility of the Green Earth, Cure Mint!" (安らぎの緑の大地　キュアミント！ Yasuragi no midori no daichi, Kyua Minto!?)
Attacks:
1. "The earth tremors of a young girl's anger...take this! Pretty Cure Mint Protection!" (大地を揺るがす乙女の怒り、受けてみなさい！プリキュア・ミント・プロテクション！ Daichi wo yurugasu otome no ikari, uketeminasai! Purikyua Minto Purotekushon!?)

3. In Yes! Precure 5 GoGo!: "Purikyua! Emerarudo Sōsā!" "PreCure Emerald Saucer!" (プリキュア・エメラルドソーサー！)
Karen Minazuki (水無月 かれん Minazuki Karen?) / Cure Aqua (キュアアクア Kyua Akua?), Pretty Cure of Intelligence
Voiced by: Ai Maeda
Karen is the oldest member of the Purikya. This third-year student comes from an affluent family and is a member of the student council. Her parents are musicians and often go away on tour. She misses them, but will not ask for them to come home for fear of disturbing their work, so in spite of her wealth and popularity she is often lonely. Komachi is her best friend and fellow student council member.
Seen around school as cool and inspiring, most of the students look up to her. She, as Nozomi learns, is the most trustworthy Cure. In the beginning, she is reluctant to join the Cure team. This reluctance and lack of team spirit prevented her from transforming in episode 5. In episode 6, as the girls are being manhandled by a pinky-turned-Kowaina, Karen stands up to her friends, vowing to protect them regardless of whether or not she can transform. The butterfly that eluded her previously reappears and successfully lands on her wrist, enabling Karen to transform to Cure Aqua.
As Cure Aqua, counterpart of Cure Mint, she wears deep blue.
She introduces herself as "Blue Spring of Intelligence, Cure Aqua!" (知性の青き泉 キュアアクア！ Chisei no aoki izumi, Kyua Akua!?)
Like Nozomi and Komachi with Coco and Nuts respectively, she has a special bond with Milk.
Attacks:
1. "The rock-crushing power of a young girl's outpourings...take this! Pretty Cure Aqua Stream!" (岩をも砕く乙女の激流、受けてみなさい！プリキュア・アクア・ストリーム！ Iwa wo mo kudaku otome no gekiryū, uketeminasai! Purikyua Akua Sutorīmu!?)
2. With "Aqua Ribbon" [1]: "The rock-crushing power of a young girl's outpourings...take this! Pretty Cure Aqua Tornado!" (岩をも砕く乙女の激流、受けてみなさい！プリキュア・アクア・トルネード！ Iwa wo mo kudaku otome no gekiryū, uketeminasai! Purikyua Akua Torunēdo!?)[2]
3. In Yes! Precure 5 GoGo!: "Purikyua! Saffaia Arō!" "PreCure Sapphire Arrow!" (プリキュア・サファイヤアロー！)
Kurumi Mimino (美々野 くるみ Mimino Kurumi?) / Milky Rose (ミルキィローズ Mirukī Rōzu?), The Blue Rose

Age: 14 years like Nozomi and Rin. (2 months older than Nozomi, 6 months older than Rin.)[citation needed]

Voiced by: Eri Sendai
She is a cooperator of Pretty Cure that appears in Yes! PreCure 5! Go Go! Her civilian name is Mimino Kurumi and her name backwards is same pronunciation with Miruku no Mimi (ミルクの耳?) that means "Milk's ears." She has long, violet curly hair and fuchsia eyes. In her transformation form she wears violet with blue flower decorations. A calm, smart character, her cool persona acts as a mask to her bizarre personality.
She introduces herself as "The Blue Rose is The Secret Mark, Milky Rose!" (青いバラは秘密の印 ミルキィローズ！ Aoi Bara ha Himitsu no Shirushi, Mirukī Rōzu!?)
She is actually Milk in human form, who got her powers from a blue colored seed left after the King of Doughnuts released a blue light in episode 7. Kurumi makes her official appearance as Milky Rose in episode 10 to help the PreCure. Her civilian form is introduced in episode 12, and we first see her transformation in episode 11.
Transformation:
Skyrose Translate! (スカイローズ・トランスレイト！ Sukairōzu Toransureito!?)
Attacks:
"Let burst a snowstorm of roses, envelop the evil power! Milky Rose Blizzard!" (邪悪な力をつつみこむ、バラの吹雪を咲かせましょう！ ミルキィローズブリザード "Jaaku na Chikara wo tsutsumikomu, Bara no Fubuki wo Sakasemashou! Mirukī Rōzu Burizādo!"?)

[edit] Mascots

Coco (ココ Koko?) / Kōji Kokoda (小々田 コージ Kokoda Kōji?)
Voiced by: Takeshi Kusao
One of the mascot creatures from the Palmier Kingdom, Coco is a yellow-furred tanuki searching for the Dream Collet to restore his kingdom. He can transform into a human, and later becomes a teacher at Nozomi's school to keep watch of her. Coco has expressed that he has strong feelings for Nozomi, but is hesitant to act on them because of the knowledge that they will have to go their separate ways as soon as his kingdom is restored. Fittingly, his human name "Kokoda" sounds like the way one would say "I'm Coco" in Japanese.
Halfway through the series, it is revealed that he and Nuts are actually princes from separate parts of the Palmier Kingdom.
Nuts (ナッツ Nattsu?) / Natsu (夏 Natsu?)
Voiced by: Miyu Irino
The other creature from the Palmier Kingdom, Nuts is a brown squirrel that can transform into a human, the clerk of a jewelry shop called Nuts House. In the beginning of the series, he is sealed within the Dream Collet and can only be freed after the 5 Cures have received their powers. Coco describes him as a good friend, comparable to the relationship between Nozomi and Rin. In Episode 7 Nuts is released from the Dream Collet and is revealed to have an aloof, somewhat cold personality. Because of the events of his past he has difficulty trusting anyone, and did not trust Coco at first. His human form is so good looking that it causes the other Pretty Cure girls to blush, as well as most other girls who see him.
Komachi exhibits romantic feelings for Nuts, and though his stoicism does not make him an easy character to read, it is made clear that he feels a special bond with Komachi.
Some episodes of the series, as well as a set of character cards, give his human name as "Natts"; however, this is generally accepted as Engrish.
Milk (ミルク Miruku?) / Kurumi Mimino (美々野 くるみ Mimino Kurumi?)
Voiced by: Eri Sendai
Debuts in episode 21. Unlike Nuts and Coco, Milk is unable to transform into a human. Milk and Nozomi are always in constant disagreements over food, especially chocolate. In Gogo she obtained the ability to turn into a human, her alias Kurumi Mimino, after picking up a glowing blue seed in episode 7. Milk may also have a crush on Coco, as she has shown affection around him, and is jealous when Nozomi shows affection to him.
Like Coco is close to Nozomi and Nuts is close to Komachi, Milk and Karen share a close friendship.
Syrup (シロップ Shiroppu?) / Shiroh Amai (甘井 シロー Amai Shirō?)
Voiced by: Romi Paku
Debuts in episode 1 of the sequel. A tan feathered, bird-like mascot that can turn to human form and take on an aerial transport form when necessary. He is slightly arrogant and a delivery-boy. Syrup once worked for Eternal, the villains of the sequel, because he was looking for something in the Cure Rose Garden and needed to get there. He quit for reasons currently unknown.
Syrup has amnesia and forgot who he was. He wanted to find the Cure Rose Garden so he can regain his memories.
Syrup may be developing a bond with Urara, as he is concerned about her when he sees her crying in episode 19 and helped to deliver her script in episode 4.

[edit] Four Rulers

In the sequel, the Kings and Queens of four Kingdoms hold the Rose Garden Keys. For this, Eternal attacks their Kingdoms and they flee. Once a ruler is found, he or she must stay in the Rose Pact for a certain amount of time to recover. After which, they can go back and restore the Kingdom destroyed. Each have a way of defending themselves from attack.
King Donuts (ドーナツ国王 Donatsu Kokuō?)
Voiced by: Yasunori Matsumoto
The first ruler to be found. A small, blue Dragon, he is the ruler of the Donut Kingdom. Dignified, he is smart and arrogant. He appreciates people who work hard for others. Should he be attacked, he will stun the enemy with a blue light emitting from his hands. The King leaves in episode 14, but not before giving a calling card.
Queen Babaroa (パパロア女王 Babaroa Joō?)
Voiced by: Mari Adachi
Second ruler holding a Rose Garden Key. She is a pink and red colored bird, the Queen of the Babaroa Kingdom. Sociable and energetic, but very talkative to the point of causing problems for others.
Princess Crepe (クレープ王女 Kurēpu Ōjo?)
The third ruler with a Rose Garden Key. She is a lemon chiffon, orange striped tiger.
Prince Montblanc (モンブラン王子 Monburan Ōji?)
The last ruler known with a Key. He is a white and brown turtle.

Kowaina (コワイナー Kowainā?)
Voiced by: Chihiro Sakurai
A Kowaina is a catastrophic entity that can be inserted into any inanimate object, causing it to "come alive" and cause destruction. The villains often use it as both an offense and a defense to add more helpers onto their side during the battle. The name is a pun off of the Japanese adjective, "kowai na", which means "frightening."
Desparaia (デスパライア Desuparaia?)
Voiced by: Kazuko Sugiyama
The top of the Nightmares. She intends to gain eternal life to bring despair to all the world, and has ordered her subordinates to obtain the Dream Collet. Her name appears to play off of the words "pariah" and "despair".[original research?]

Her name is a pun of masukomi (mass communication/media).

Megumi Yumehara (夢原 恵美 Yumehara Megumi?)
Voiced by: Yurika Hino
Nozomi's mother. She is a beautician and runs a beauty shop "Espoir". She and Kazuyo are childhood friends just like Nozomi and Rin. Kazuyo says that she had been a more blunderer than Nozomi.

[edit] Trivia

 Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines.
The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones.
  • L'École des Cinq Lumières was originally misspelled in the animation as "Cing Lumiere".
  • Butterflies have been incorporated as the transformation theme for this series. All the girls have butterfly-like ornaments on their hair and/or clothes in their Pretty Cure forms, with the exception of Urara.
  • Merchandise preorders and advertisements have released this information about the magical items:
The cards used this season will be shaped like regular playing cards, much like the original Futari wa Pretty Cure;
Other items include the "Pinky Catch", a jewel box to keep Pinkies in that doubles as a transformation item, and the "Dream Collet", the book that Nozomi needs to complete. The Pinky Catch is romanized in some official merchandise as Pinky Catchu, but Catch makes more sense considering its use.
Transformation items are watches rather than cellular telephones.
  • In contrast to the transformations in the earlier series, it should be noted that the girls can be by themselves to transform.
  • The girls transform with the phrase "Pretty Cure, Metamorphose!", referring back to the butterfly theme.
  • This series seems to make reference to many words and phrases in French. For instance:
    • The Palmier Kingdom's name comes from the French word for "coconut tree", hence the characters Coco and Nuts.
    • The beauty shop run by Nozomi's mother is called "Espoir", which is the French word for hope.
    • École Cinq Lumièrs is a direct translation of "school of the five lights".
  • In Episode 11, Mint and Aqua's attacks are used not just for attacking, but for helping others as well. Mint uses "Pretty Cure Mint Protection!" to bounce the falling Rouge and Lemonade, and Aqua follows up with "Pretty Cure Aqua Stream!" to send Rouge and Lemonade down a river and back on the ground.
