Movie
Description
Miden is a cloth-like entity and the main antagonist of Hugtto! Precure Futari wa Precure All Stars Memories. Its true origin is that of a forgotten old camera called the Miden F Mark II. The manufacturer went bankrupt, and the camera never had any film used in it. Over time, it gained sentience and became a white, teru teru bozu-like monster. Miden's primary motivation stems from profound loneliness and a desire to possess memories, having been neglected and left with none of its own. It steals the memories and powers of the Pretty Cures, turning them into helpless infants, and stores the stolen memories inside stained glass panels. It can also replicate the catchphrases and special attacks of any Cure it has stolen from. In battle, Miden can fire beams from its hands that cause memory loss and infant transformation, create numerous small, dark shadow offshoots that swarm like locusts, and even enter electronic devices that have camera functions. While Miden initially seems purely vengeful and selfish, it is aware that its actions are wrong, but feels driven by its own emptiness. Throughout the film, it serves as the main obstacle for the remaining adult Cures, primarily Cure Black, Cure White, and the Hugtto! team. Its key relationship is with Cure Yell, who senses its pain and loneliness. In the climax, Cure Yell comforts Miden and promises to make new memories together, reaching the creature's heart. Miden's emotional pain is depicted as an endless rain inside its lair, and its teru teru bozu appearance may symbolize a wish for that rain to stop. After being healed by the combined power of the Miracle Lights and the other Cures, Miden smiles and fades away peacefully. Later, the camera is repaired and used by Hana to take photographs, finally allowing it to create the memories it always craved.
