Mucardia is a prominent male antagonist in "Yes! PreCure 5 GoGo!", belonging to the villainous organization Eternal. He is portrayed as a sophisticated, gentle young man with striking long, pale silver hair and fair skin. While he maintains a courteous and charming demeanor in his human guise as "Kyosuke Momoi", Mucardia is actually a cunning and ambitious character, harboring a cold and ruthless side especially towards his colleagues. Despite his initial success and trust from his superior Anacondy, his aspirations and betrayals ultimately lead to his downfall. Mucardia possesses high combat abilities, commanding giant creatures, and has a monstrous millipede-like battle form. He reappears in the movie "Precure All Stars DX2", showcasing his enduring popularity as a charismatic villain.
Mucardia stands out with snow-white skin and long, slightly yellow-tinged pale silver hair.
His human persona, Kyosuke Momoi, dresses in a red outfit paired with a purple scarf and brown long boots.
While performing undercover, he wears a red-themed suit.
In his combat form, Mucardia transforms into a monstrous creature with millipede features: antennae sprouting from his head and millipede legs wrapped around his chest and limbs.
In "Precure All Stars DX2," his final form reveals his lower body fully transformed into a millipede.
Outwardly, Mucardia acts as a refined, well-mannered and elegant gentleman.
He is especially polite and flattering towards women.
However, beneath this charm lies a calculating and merciless nature.
He does not hesitate to mistreat his colleague Bunbee or act in a hostile manner when missions demand it.
Mucardia is ambitious, dreaming of overtaking Anacondy and becoming Eternal’s second-in-command.
He devalues selfless actions, considering them meaningless, and prioritizes his own ambitions above all else, perfectly embodying the ruthless ideals of Eternal.
Sent directly by Anacondy after several failures by Eternal's previous top hunters, Mucardia is trusted with the critical task of seizing the Rose Pact and defeating the Pretty Cure team.
He is known for his efficiency—report writing skills especially—and for enduring heavy workloads, even requesting long vacations as a reward for his accomplishments.
While his surface-level performance earns Anacondy's favor, he is constantly scheming to rise in the ranks by undermining his peers.
Mucardia is a master strategist who excels at analysis and reconnaissance.
He often sits in a levitating chair, watching battles and collecting data on his opponents.
He can summon giant-level Kowaina monsters and simultaneously command large numbers.
In combat, Mucardia's monstrous millipede form wields extendable legs as deadly weapons, capable of piercing enemies at a distance.
His defensive powers allow him to survive Pretty Cure's ultimate attack, the "Pretty Cure Rainbow Rose Explosion," by generating powerful barriers.
Anacondy
Anacondy has immense trust in Mucardia’s abilities, relying on his reports and assigning him delicate missions.
Despite her favor, Mucardia secretly plans to outmaneuver her and claim a higher status.
Bunbee
He often treats Bunbee with contempt, exploiting opportunities to surpass and belittle him.
Eternal (Organization)
Mucardia’s loyalty to Eternal is purely self-serving, and his ambition leads him to betray his superiors and peers when it serves his interests.
"It is an honor to be selected. Is it about the Rose Pact?"
"Director... please stop!!"
Agent of Eternal and Undercover Operations
Mucardia is introduced as a new agent sent by Anacondy after repeated setbacks by top Eternal hunters, Isoagin and Yadokan.
Under the alias Kyosuke Momoi, he draws near to the Pretty Cure 5 team, observing and analyzing them while presenting himself as an attractive and capable young gentleman.
He quickly earns Anacondy's confidence due to his professionalism and sharp intelligence.
Challenging Pretty Cure and First Major Failure
Collecting sufficient data, Mucardia takes direct action.
He disguises himself as a host named "Mr. Magic" for the quiz show "Pretty Cure Five de Chance," aiming to capture and divide the Pretty Cure 5 through deceptive questions.
However, thanks to Karen Minazuki’s wit, his scheme fails.
This public defeat results in a drastic decline in Anacondy's opinion of him, with Mucardia showing frustration and breaking his usual poker face.
Shift in Tactics and Unmasking
Undeterred, he approaches Rin Natsuki as Kyosuke to search for weaknesses in the team.
However, a chance encounter with Bunbee exposes his true identity to Nozomi Yumehara and Rin Natsuki.
His dual nature—a sophisticated gentleman and a cold, ambitious agent—becomes evident.
Seizing Secrets and Betrayal
Mucardia aggressively investigates Syrup's hidden past by stealing a letter from Flora intended for the Eternal Director, hoping the contents will restore Syrup's memories.
His secretive actions anger Anacondy, and while he attempts to dodge a Pretty Cure finishing move, he is paralyzed by Anacondy’s intervention and almost eliminated.
Mucardia barely escapes and, with Bunbee’s help, returns to Eternal’s base.
Ultimate Downfall
Mucardia exposes Anacondy’s secrets, directly appealing to the Director to promote him to Eternal’s No.2.
Unfortunately, the Director deems him obsolete and erases him on the spot, marking Mucardia’s end.
Bunbee witnesses his demise, which becomes the turning point for Bunbee's eventual redemption.
Revival in "Precure All Stars DX2"
Mucardia returns to the screen in "Precure All Stars DX2: Light of Hope - Protect the Rainbow Jewel!" resurrected by Bottom alongside Nebatakos.
This time, he displays a higher level of excitement, his monstrous form even more pronounced with his lower body fully transformed into a millipede.
He joins other key resurrected villains, taking a central role.
- Mucardia is notable for his duality: he can switch rapidly from a charming, gentle beauty to a cold, high-strung villain.
- His sophisticated facade and wit make him a rare "gentlemanly" antagonist in the franchise.
- Mucardia's keen mind and relentless ambition set him apart from other Eternal members, making his rise and fall one of the most memorable villain arcs in "Yes! PreCure 5 GoGo!".
