Tart

Tart is small in stature, with brownish hair styled into twin tails high on his head.

His distinctive twin tails and youthful looks make him appear younger than the other commanders.

Tart is cheeky, brash, and full of youthful energy.

Despite his mischievous nature, he has a soft spot for those he befriends and can quickly shift from adversary to ally.

Among the alien commanders, Tart is the youngest and is often underestimated because of it.

Initially, he is an antagonist to the Tokyo Mew Mew team, especially targeting Huang bu-lin.

In the first anime adaptation, Tart can control plants at will, making him a formidable "plant manipulator."

He wields a weapon shaped like American clackers, called the Treasure Orb, which can also harness and control lightning.

Combining the Sky Thunder Fan of Pie with his Treasure Orb, Tart can launch explosive attacks towards enemies.

In Tokyo Mew Mew New, Tart develops the ability to generate bombs with both hands, showcasing his versatile offensive power.

Tart has a notable rivalry and later friendship with Huang bu-lin, who fondly nicknames him "Tar-tar."

His relationship with Pie is both cooperative and competitive, depending on the mission.

Like Quiche, Tart begins to lose faith in their leader Deep Blue due to the treatment of his comrades.

After reconciling with Huang bu-lin, Tart's perspective about humans warms considerably, and he even maintains contact after the conflict.

He often prefers to carry out missions alone, reflecting his rebellious streak.

Despite his position as a commander, his youthful energy and impulsiveness set him apart from Quiche and Pie.

"I don't care what anyone says, I follow my own rules!"

"I'm not here to make friends, but... you're not so bad, Huang bu-lin."

Role in the Original Anime

Tart debuts alongside Pie as a replacement for Quiche, later working as a core trio once Quiche returns.

He specializes in plant manipulation but adapts his arsenal with electricity and explosive attacks.

During a pivotal confrontation, Tart befriends Huang bu-lin, ultimately refusing to fight any longer.

He challenges Pie to a duel, but is killed in battle; however, Masaya Aoyama revives him with the power of Mew Aqua.

Role in Tokyo Mew Mew New

Tart battles against Tokyo Mew Mew, particularly focusing on Huang bu-lin, but eventually grows attached to her.

He ceases fighting after connecting with her emotionally, but both collapse from exhaustion.

After the war, Tart gives Huang bu-lin a candy as a parting gift before returning to his home planet.

Even after his departure, Tart occasionally revisits Earth to see Huang bu-lin, hinting at a lasting friendship.

Tart's journey from adversary to friend adds depth to his character and offers a unique perspective among the alien commanders.

His lively personality and strong bonds with both comrades and former enemies make him a standout character in Tokyo Mew Mew.
