Description
The Nakewameke serve as the primary antagonistic entities deployed by the Labyrinth organization to spread chaos and misery. These robotic creatures differ from typical magical girl series monsters through their mechanical nature. They manifest as monsters-of-the-day throughout the conflict, summoned via diamond-shaped energy signatures whose color corresponds to their summoner: dark red for Eas, yellow for Westar, and dark green for Soular. Their name originates from the Japanese words "naku" (to cry) and "wameku" (to shout/scream), approximating "Cry and Shout".
Primarily targeting civilians instead of engaging the heroic warriors directly, Nakewameke manifest by possessing ordinary objects or animals, transforming them into monstrous forms. Documented possessions include a drink vending machine, a panda-shaped food cart, a blackboard, a tulip, and a child's stuffed toy. Defeated Nakewameke often leave battlegrounds permanently altered, breaking series tradition where environments typically revert.
Evolved variants emerge during the conflict. The Nakisakebe, exclusively summoned by Eas via a limited-use card, presents a more powerful and faster version. Its activation causes thorny vines to grow on the user's arm, inflicting intense pain until the creature's defeat. Nakisakebe appear less object-like than standard Nakewameke and emit constant groaning sounds. Another advanced form, the Sorewatase, manifests independently without object possession. Both variants demonstrate superior combat capabilities to the base Nakewameke.
Following narrative developments involving the redemption of Westar and Soular, a non-antagonistic variant called Hohoemina emerges. Summoned using pale blue diamonds, these entities represent a reformed version. Their name, meaning "smile," contrasts with their predecessors, marking them as the first courteous monsters in the franchise to ally with heroic forces. Two confirmed Hohoemina originate from Cure Angel Passion's feather (summoned by Soular) and Cure Angel Pine's feather (summoned by Westar).
Within the broader franchise context, the Nakewameke hold distinctions: they are the first monsters designed primarily for civilian attacks rather than direct combat with protagonists; the first whose names lack the ending syllable "-na"; and their Hohoemina variants constitute the first instance of friendly monsters collaborating with the heroic team.
