Description
Blue is a central ally in Happiness Charge PreCure!, serving as a divine figure who bestows powers upon the Pretty Cure. He is the spirit-like deity of the Blue Sky Kingdom, though he later resides in Pikarigaoka. He is also the brother of Red, the season's primary antagonist, which creates a deep and tragic personal conflict within the narrative.
Physically, Blue is depicted as a young man with fair skin and distinctive sky-blue hair that is light and wavy, matching the same light blue shade of his eyes. His attire consists of a loose white shirt with a high, popped collar left partially unbuttoned, paired with light blue pants, a black belt with a silver buckle, and white boots.
His personality is generally gentle and kind towards others. However, beneath this serene exterior lies a being burdened by immense guilt, sorrow, and regret stemming from his past. He is also known to have a hobby of playing the guitar.
The core of Blue's character and motivation is rooted in a tragic romance that occurred three hundred years before the main events of the series. He met and fell in love with a shrine maiden named Mirage, who he chose to become a Cure Mirage. They fought together as partners, but Blue, believing that his divine status and duty to love all of the Earth equally prevented him from staying by her side, made the painful decision to leave her. This rejection left Mirage heartbroken and vulnerable to the influence of Blue's brother, Red, leading to her corruption into the evil Queen Mirage, ruler of the Phantom Empire. Blue was forced to seal her away in Axia, an event that left him deeply scarred and wracked with guilt. His primary motivation throughout the series is not merely to defeat the Phantom Empire, but to rectify his past mistakes and finally see Mirage smile again.
In his role within the story, Blue acts as the mentor and power source for the Precure. He creates Crystals of Love, which are scattered across the world and allow girls with a strong capacity for love to transform into Pretty Cure. He gave a pink Crystal of Love to the princess Cure Princess (Hime Shirayuki) specifically to help her find a partner, which led to the creation of the main team. He also has the ability to instantly traverse the Earth via the Cross Mirror Room, which he uses to monitor the global spread of the Phantom Empire's attacks and recruit other Precure teams from around the world. He imposes a rule that Pretty Cure cannot fall in love or have romantic relationships, fearing that a bad outcome could compromise their duties, a rule that later causes friction and is seen as hypocritical given his own history.
Blue's key relationships are complex and drive the plot. His relationship with Queen Mirage is the emotional crux of the series; he is a tragic figure who still loves her but is paralyzed by the fear of being hated by her, which prevents him from confronting her directly for centuries. His relationship with his brother, Red, is incredibly strained and a source of deep sadness for him, as their opposing views on love and humanity caused an irreparable rift. He also has a complicated dynamic with the main Cure, Megumi Aino (Cure Lovely). While Megumi develops a crush on him, which he does not reciprocate, he shows her a unique kindness and closeness, such as allowing her to call him by his name instead of "God," which leads to criticism from fans regarding his mixed signals.
Over the course of the series, Blue undergoes significant development. Initially, he is passive and avoids his past, leaving the Cures to fight Mirage while he refuses to face her directly. Pressured by the Cures, particularly Megumi, he eventually reveals the truth about his 300-year-old love affair with Mirage. He transitions from a state of helpless regret to taking a more active role, such as attempting to reason with Mirage directly to protect the Cures, though he is ultimately overpowered. His development culminates in finally trying to express his true feelings to Mirage, leading to her eventual purification and redemption.
In terms of abilities, Blue's most notable power is the creation of the Crystals of Love, which are the source of the Precure's transformation. He can travel instantly to any location on Earth using the Cross Mirror Room. He also demonstrates the ability to access and unlock the true power of the Shining Make Dresser, a powerful artifact. Furthermore, he possesses defensive capabilities, such as attempting to shield the Cures from attacks, and can perform feats like delivering Miracle Lights to children across the world.
