Bloody is a senior executive and formidable villain in the antagonist organization Nightmare from Yes! PreCure 5. He is known for his calm, stoic demeanor and gentlemanly appearance, but beneath his elegant exterior lies a cunning, ruthless strategist capable of manipulating enemies' minds and crushing kingdoms. Formerly the superior of Kawarino, Bloody commands respect and fear, wielding massive power both in human and monstrous forms. His actions were critical in the destruction of the Palmier Kingdom, and his later betrayal by Kawarino led to a memorable showdown. As the first elderly primary villain in the franchise, Bloody stands out for his psychological warfare, strategic thinking, and dramatic story arc.
Bloody appears as an elderly man with a bald crown, often dressed in an elegant, black gentleman's suit. He dons a black silk hat, black boots, and a striking purple cloak. Always carrying a cane, he walks with an air of authority. When in his battle form, Bloody transforms into a bat-like creature with large wings on his arms, allowing for flight and powerful defense.
Reserved and imposing, Bloody acts with a stern calmness and rarely loses his composure. He interacts even with enemies politely, exuding an intimidating dignity. However, he shows no hesitation in committing evil acts if required for his mission, using psychological tactics to sow anxiety and distrust among his opponents. Bloody is supremely confident in his abilities and prefers to keep his involvement to a minimum, focusing simply on results rather than organizational camaraderie.
Bloody is a top executive among Nightmare's highest-ranking members and one of the key figures behind the reformation of the organization's new sector. Trusted by Desparaia and appointed as the de facto leader of the new department, Bloody is respected for his formidable achievements and influence. His storied past includes the direct annihilation of the Palmier Kingdom during Nightmare’s invasion, a feat that even Kawarino praises.
Bloody possesses tremendous battle prowess. He can evade PreCure attacks with ease in his human form and deploy barriers that separate his enemies. When transforming into his battle form, his speed and destructive capability skyrocket, allowing him to overwhelm the PreCure with just rapid movement and shockwaves. He can summon special Kowaina monsters that manifest as countless hands, covering entire buildings in impenetrable barriers. His power is so great that he obliterated the Palmier Kingdom in an instant.
Bloody was once Kawarino’s boss, but the relationship is tense and antagonistic. He distrusts Kawarino's leadership style and methods, blaming him for Nightmare's lack of unity. Bloody shares a professional kinship with Bunbee, particularly in their skepticism toward the use of the "black mask" within the organization. Though mostly detached, Bloody displays a subtle sense of solidarity with fellow Nightmare members, questioning reckless or heartless decisions by peers like Kawarino.

In episode 46, as all 55 Pinkies gather, Bloody seizes the opportunity to ambush the PreCure but fails.

Consumed by betrayal and anger, Bloody re-emerges in the finale, dragging Kawarino into the darkness with him in a final act of vengeance.
