Description
King Jikochu began as the benevolent ruler of the Trump Kingdom. Despair consumed him when his daughter, Princess Marie Ange, fell gravely ill. In a desperate search for a cure, he retrieved the sealed Eternal Golden Crown, inadvertently unleashing the ancient evil Proto-Jikochuu. This dark entity possessed him, transforming him into the monstrous King Jikochu right before Marie Ange's eyes; she couldn't stop it despite wielding the Miracle Dragon Glaive.
Physically, King Jikochu manifested as a towering, muscular figure with a thorn-studded black form. He wore a horned helmet, possessed red eyes, and had limbs reminiscent of Akudaikan. His design evoked mythological figures like Kronos and Lucifer, symbolizing pride and destruction.
As leader of the Selfish Kingdom, he commanded the Selfish Trio (Ira, Marmo, Bel) and orchestrated the invasion of the Trump Kingdom using Jikochuu—monsters born from corrupted human Psyches. After destroying the Trump Kingdom, he pursued the missing princess to Earth, dispatching subordinates to find her while continuing assaults via new Jikochuu creations.
His personality epitomized cruelty and impatience, especially toward subordinates failing against the Pretty Cures. His name, reflecting the Japanese term for egocentrism (自己中心, *Jikochūshin*), embodied selfishness and wrath.
His arc climax revealed a dual nature: the corrupted shell of King Jikochu imprisoned the Trump King's consciousness. During the final battle in Oogai Town, Regina (his daughter's dark half) initially aided him but defected to protect the Pretty Cures. The Cures infiltrated his body, reaching the Trump King's psyche and confronting antibodies denying the king's existence. Appeals by Regina, Aguri (Marie Ange's light half), and Ai (the princess's reincarnated form) rekindled the Trump King's love, weakening the dark entity's hold.
Proto-Jikochuu was expelled and destroyed by Cure Heart's enhanced Parthenon Mode attack. This purified the Trump King, dissolving the King Jikochu entity forever. After defeat, the former king participated in restructuring the Trump Kingdom into a republic before departing with his redeemed deputies.
