* LateArrivalSpoiler: Every SixthRanger.

to:

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Every SixthRanger.SixthRanger is this since they tend to either be characters introduced earlier in the series, who initially seemed to be minor or supporting characters, or are villains that have undergone a HeelFaceTurn. Naturally, subsequent crossovers don't even bother to hide their identities.



* NewTransferStudent: Several Cures start out as this. In chronological order: [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Hikari]], [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar Michiru and Kaoru]] (even if they're not actually Cures), [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Urara and Kurumi]], [[Anime/FreshPrettyCure Setsuna]], [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure Tsubomi]], [[Anime/SuitePrettyCure Ellen]], [[Anime/SmilePrettyCure Miyuki]], [[Anime/DokiDokiPrecure Makoto]], [[Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure Hime]], [[Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure Towa]], [[Anime/MahoGirlsPrecure Mirai (In Riko's world), Riko (In Mirai's world) and later Kotoha (In both worlds)]], [[Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode Ciel]], [[Anime/HugttoPrettyCure Hana, Ruru]], [[Anime/StarTwinklePrettyCure Lala]], and [[Anime/HealinGoodPrettyCure Nodoka]], [[Anime/TropicalRougePrettyCure Laura]], [[Anime/SoaringSkyPrecure Sora]], [[Anime/WonderfulPrettyCure Mayu and Komugi]].

* NotAllowedToGrowUp: As of 2008, the older Cures have been subjected to this. It's been years since ''[[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Max Heart]]'''s end, but Nagisa, Honoka and Hikari don't look a day older than they were back then. Although it should be noted that this depends only on whether or not you count the ''All Stars'' movies as canon. The character designer of ''Anime/FreshPrettyCure'' actually posted [[http://precure.livejournal.com/3001783.html this art]] of the characters looking seven years older, and starting with ''Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure'', seasons typically have a WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue that involves a timeskip. ''Anime/HugttoPrettyCure'' addresses this for its crossover event, where the side effects of the time travel apparently include de-aging.

* SecondYearProtagonist: Except for [[Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure Haruka/Cure Flora]] and [[Anime/TropicalRougePrettyCure Manatsu/Cure Summer]], who are first-year students, all lead Cures are second-year students.



* TheSmartGuy: Only those who doesn't have a double role. Mostly the blue Cures: [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Cure Aqua]], [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure Cure Moonlight]], [[Anime/SmilePrettyCure Cure Beauty]], [[Anime/DokiDokiPrecure Cure Diamond]]. [[Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode Cure Custard]], a yellow Cure, is an exception.

** Yui Nagomi meets the ''Tropical Rouge'' Cures when she mistook the riceball cardboard for the real food. Surprisingly, it occurs during [[Main/TheStinger The Stinger]] instead of the episode proper.
** In the same manner as the previous season, Sora Harewataru meets the ''Delicious Party'' team by lending her Mirage Pen in order to write a message to [=CooKingdom=] before their trip. Unlike previous cameos, Sora isn't shown transforming into Cure Sky at all.

** Justified in ''Anime/SmilePrettyCure'', where the blue nosed Akanbe, Super Akanbe and Hyper Akanbe can only be killed by Rainbow Healing, Rainbow Burst and Royal Rainbow Burst, respectively. These have relatively long sequences.

* ToyDisguise: The best way the fairies prevent humans from figuring out their true nature is them pretending to be stuffed toys.

[[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Rin]], [[Anime/SuitePrettyCure Ellen]], [[Anime/SmilePrettyCure Nao]], [[Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure Minami]], [[Anime/TropicalRougePrettyCure Manatsu]] and [[Anime/DeliciousPartyPrettyCure Amane]].
* WonderTwinPowers: The first three seasons and ''Suite''. ''Heartcatch'' also has this to a lesser extent. ''Mahou Tsukai'' brings this concept back, while ''Hugtto'' uses an interesting take of this by using this on their SixthRanger instead.
* WorldOfTechnicolorHair: While in ''Futari Wa'' the hair colors were pretty normal and only supernatural characters had inhuman colors, starting with ''Splash Star'' and officalized with ''Yes! 5'', natural hair colors that aren't genetically possible in real life, including pink, blue, green, purple, and so on, became the norm rather than the exception, and nobody treats this as unusual.

* LensmanArmsRace: You can expect the Cures to obtain a new power-up, additional Cure, and/or team attack whenever a new general shows up or a new stronger variation of the MonsterOfTheWeek is introduced.



* MegatonPunch: While not as prevalent as the {{diving kick}}s from ''Franchise/KamenRider'', Cures are somewhat associated with punches due to them being Cure Black's main way of fighting till a point ''All Stars'' has several {{Combination Attack}}s in which the Cures punch an enemy together with ''All Stars F'' having the final attack being a punch from all 88 mainline Cures up till that point.
