Description
Tart emerges as a key alien antagonist determined to reclaim Earth for his species, displaced refugees fleeing their planet’s environmental collapse. His mission to punish humanity for ecological negligence clashes with a personality marked by childlike energy, volatile tantrums when challenged, and a mischievous streak expressed through playful insults. Physically distinctive, he sports twin brown pigtails, sharp orange eyes, pointed ears, and a revealing ensemble of a cropped red top, puffy shorts, and bandaged limbs.
His adversarial focus on the Mew Mews fractures after repeated encounters with Bu-Ling Huang, whom he initially captures. Her unexpected compassion sparks internal conflict, softening his hostility into tentative affection. This shift peaks when he rescues her from suffocation via teleportation, exposing vulnerability as he voices reluctance to prolong their war. Bu-Ling later seals their bond with a kiss and candy gift, motivating his contemplation of returning to Earth for her.
In battle, Tart brandishes a click-clack toy to command plants, ensnaring foes with vines or reshaping terrain. He launches energy spheres dubbed "Treasure Returning" attacks, conjures Chimera Anima creatures, and utilizes shared alien traits like flight, teleportation, and underwater survival.
The 2020 Re-Turn arc expands his trajectory: after aiding the Mew Mews against rogue Chimera Anima and losing their extraterrestrial base, Tart adapts to human life. Adopting casual attire with a jacket nodding to Bu-Ling’s pudding-themed style, he eventually joins Café Mew Mew as an employee under Ryou Shirogane.
Evolving from vengeful invader to a figure navigating empathy, Tart’s arc hinges on his bond with Bu-Ling, illustrating tensions between duty and connection. His journey—marked by alliances, societal integration, and wavering loyalties—frames a narrative of tentative reconciliation between species.
