Nozomi Yumehara is a [[Genki Girl|energetic]] though [[Idiot Hero|dimwitted]] girl who is [[Desperately Looking for A Purpose In Life]]. She meets a [[Bishonen|hot guy]] in a chance encounter, follows him into the library, and before she knows it her belief in the importance of following your dreams has turned her into a [[Magical Girl]] with a [[Non Human Sidekick|sidekick who looks like a yellow plush tanuki]]. Within a few episodes, she's assembled a complete [[True Companions|team]]:

With the help of extradimensional tanuki duo Coco and Nuts, their goal is to [[Gotta Catch Em All|collect fifty-five creatures]] called Pinkies in order to complete the [[MacGuffin|"Dream Collet"]], enabling it to grant a single wish and restore Coco and Nuts' destroyed homeworld. Though you would be forgiven for forgetting about this subplot, since Pinky-collecting is usually treated as an aside when nothing else is going on. The majority of screentime is given to the Pretty Cures' fight against the Nightmare Group, an [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|evil corporation]] who wish to steal the Dream Collet for their [[Big Bad]] queen, the [[Cool Mask|mask-wearing]] Despariah. Later, the Pretty Cure get another ally in the form of Milk, a rabbit-earred mascot creature who gives them their [[Mid Season Upgrade]].

''Yes!'' [[Broken Base|produced more than a few waves in the Western fandom]] when it discarded nearly all of the synonymous ''[[Pretty Cure]]'' tropes, becoming a more derivative [[Magical Girl]] series than its predecessors. Despite this, the character development is good, the action is solid and it still retains some of the [[Good Old Fisticuffs|fistfighting combat]] and [[Post Modernism]] that makes ''[[Pretty Cure]]'' stand out in the [[Magical Girl]] genre. It also started the trend of having ''every'' [[By the Power of Grayskull|transformation phrase]] and [[Calling Your Attacks|special attack]] include the phrase [[Title Drop|"Pretty Cure"]] (where previously it was confined to the [[Finishing Move]]).

''Yes!'' proved popular enough to get a direct sequel called '''Yes! Precure 5 GO!GO!'''. After [[So Last Season|upgrading their powers]], the Pretty Cure 5 team is recruited to protect the mysterious Cure Rose Garden from Eternal, an evil museum that steals and stockpiles priceless treasures from across the universe. To do this, the Pretty Cure have to [[Gotta Catch Em All|track down the four missing rulers]] of the kingdoms that neighbour the Kingdom of Palmier, as they hold the [[MacGuffin|four keys]] that unlock the path to the Cure Rose Garden.

** Yes, Milky Rose is Air. In her [[Aloof Ally]] phase, she had a tendency to appear in high places and vanish in a gust of wind. Consider also "'''Sky'''rose Translate!" The attack name "Milky Rose Blizzard" often leads people to associate her with ice, but a blizzard involves wind, too, and there's nothing ice-like involved in the attack, although the rose petals do quite resemble an ice sculpture at the end.

"The power of hope and the lights of the future!"
"Five hearts flap their wings to magnificence!"
"Yes! Pretty Cure 5!"

The fourth entry in the Pretty Cure franchise. The title comes from the fact that this time, there are five Cures instead of two.

Nozomi Yumehara is a energetic though dimwitted girl who is Desperately Looking for a Purpose In Life. She meets a hot guy in a chance encounter, follows him into the library, and before she knows it her belief in the importance of following your dreams has turned her into a Magical Girl with a sidekick who looks like a yellow plush tanuki. Within a few episodes, she's assembled a complete team:

With the help of extradimensional tanuki duo Coco and Nuts, their goal is to collect fifty-five creatures called Pinkies in order to complete the "Dream Collet", enabling it to grant a single wish and restore Coco and Nuts' destroyed homeworld. Though you would be forgiven for forgetting about this subplot, since Pinky-collecting is usually treated as an aside when nothing else is going on. The majority of screentime is given to the Pretty Cures' fight against the Nightmare Group, an evil corporation who wish to steal the Dream Collet for their Big Bad queen, the mask-wearing Despariah. Later, the Pretty Cure get another ally in the form of Milk, a rabbit-earred mascot creature who gives them their Mid-Season Upgrade.

Yes! produced more than a few waves in the Western fandom when it discarded nearly all of the synonymous Pretty Cure tropes, becoming a more derivative Magical Girl series than its predecessors. Despite this, the character development is good, the action is solid and it still retains some of the fistfighting combat and Post Modernism that makes Pretty Cure stand out in the Magical Girl genre. It also started the trend of having every transformation phrase and special attack include the phrase "Pretty Cure" (where previously it was confined to the Finishing Move).

Yes! proved popular enough to get a direct sequel called Yes! Precure 5 GO!GO!. After upgrading their powers, the Pretty Cure 5 team is recruited to protect the mysterious Cure Rose Garden from Eternal, an evil museum that steals and stockpiles priceless treasures from across the universe. To do this, the Pretty Cure have to track down the four missing rulers of the kingdoms that neighbour the Kingdom of Palmier, as they hold the four keys that unlock the path to the Cure Rose Garden.

Along with new mascot creature Syrup, an orange flying penguin mailman, the Pretty Cure get a Sixth Ranger:
