Description
Pie is one of the three alien antagonists who appear throughout Tokyo Mew Mew New. He belongs to a group of extraterrestrials who are descendants of an ancient Earth civilization that was forced to leave the planet long ago after a great catastrophe. After settling on a world with a severely deteriorated environment, they came to see Earth as a place to reclaim, and their mission revolves around obtaining a substance called Mew Aqua, which they believe can restore their home planet and revive their leader, Deep Blue. Pie arrives on Earth alongside his colleague Tart to support their more aggressive comrade Quiche in preparing the way for Deep Blue's awakening.
In terms of personality, Pie is the most composed and serious member of the alien trio. He rarely displays emotion, seldom smiles even when taunting his opponents, and maintains a calm, analytical demeanor in almost every situation. He treats battles in a scientific manner, often calculating what he refers to as the mortality rate of his attacks and assessing each encounter as a kind of experiment. He is also the most devoted of the three to Deep Blue, approaching his duties with a strict sense of loyalty and rarely indulging in the casual mischief that the other aliens sometimes enjoy. Beneath his reserved exterior, however, there is a deeper sense of duty to his people, and his commitment to their cause is rooted in the suffering of his home world rather than simple cruelty.
Motivationally, Pie is driven by the collective goal of saving his endangered species. The aliens view Earth's resources and the Mew Aqua as essential to restoring their own world, and Pie carries out his share of the mission with unwavering seriousness. He is willing to create dangerous chimera anima, creatures formed by fusing parasite anima with Earth animals, to attack the Mew Mews and advance the invasion. Although he appears cold and detached, his actions are consistently guided by a sense of responsibility toward Deep Blue and his people, which makes his eventual change of heart meaningful.
Within the story, Pie serves as one of the recurring adversaries the Mew Mews must overcome. He participates in numerous attacks designed to destroy the heroes or steal what the aliens need, and his tactical, levelheaded approach makes him a distinct threat compared to the more impulsive Quiche. In the final stages of the series, his path intersects directly with the Mew Mews in a decisive confrontation, and his role shifts from that of a straightforward enemy to someone who comes to understand the people he was sent to fight.
His relationships with the other aliens are defined by contrast. He frequently clashes with Quiche, whose hotheaded and theatrical methods conflict with Pie's calm, calculated style. He partners more naturally with Tart, though he has been known to feel slighted when he is left out of important operations. His most significant relationship among the heroes is with Lettuce, who makes a persistent effort to reach out to him and convince him that fighting is unnecessary. That connection eventually breaks through his guarded nature, allowing him to see the Mew Mews in a new light.
Across the series, Pie undergoes a clear development from a cold and seemingly unfeeling soldier to someone capable of compassion and sacrifice. In the climactic events, he sacrifices himself to protect Lettuce and the other Mew Mews, smiling at them as he does so, a moment that reveals the warmth hidden beneath his disciplined facade. After Deep Blue is defeated and the conflict is resolved, Pie receives the remaining Mew Aqua and promises to use it to make his home world beautiful again, finally choosing restoration over conquest as he and the other aliens depart for their own planet.
In terms of abilities, Pie possesses the same general powers as his fellow aliens, including the ability to fly and to transport himself across locations. His primary method of attack involves creating and deploying chimera anima, the engineered monsters the aliens send against the Mew Mews, and he is highly skilled at producing dangerous variations of them. For physical combat in Tokyo Mew Mew New, he wields a steel club or staff and employs stick-fighting techniques, and the force of his swings can generate razor-sharp wind attacks capable of cutting through the air. This version of the character replaces the fan weapon he used in earlier adaptations, which was associated with wind and thunder-based techniques, but the shift to close-quarters combat still reflects his precise and controlled fighting style.
