DokiDoki! PreCure

DokiDoki! PreCure (Japanese: ドキドキ!プリキュア, Hepburn: Dokidoki! Purikyua; lit. "Heart-Pounding! PreCure") is a Japanese anime series produced by Toei Animation and the tenth installment in Izumi Todo's Pretty Cure metaseries, featuring the eighth generation of Cures. The series is produced by Hiroaki Shibata, who produced Digimon Data Squad, and written by Ryōta Yamaguchi, who wrote the scripts for Sailor Moon Sailor Stars, Cutie Honey Flash and The Vision of Escaflowne. Character designs were done by Akira Takahashi, who previously did character designs for Suite PreCure. The series aired on the ANN network from February 3, 2013, to January 26, 2014, replacing Smile PreCure! in its timeslot, and was succeeded by HappinessCharge PreCure!. An animated film based on the series was released on October 26, 2013. This series' main topics are love, emotions, selflessness, and selfishness, with playing card suits as the Cure's main motifs.

Saban Brands produced an international English dub of the series, Glitter Force: Doki Doki, which abridged the original forty-nine episodes to thirty. Although the Glitter Force trademark was transferred to Toei during production in May 2017, Saban Brands was credited with the production of the English dub. The first fifteen episodes began streaming on Netflix on August 18, 2017. The second season, also consisting of fifteen episodes, was released on November 10, 2017. DokiDoki! is the third installment of the series to receive an English dub, the second and last adaptation of the language under the Glitter Force brand, as well as the last anime to be dubbed by Saban Brands following the company's closure in June 2018. As of June 14, 2018, Hasbro owns the rights and names to the series and brand, along with other Saban Brands entertainment assets.

The international English dub was removed from Netflix on November 9, 2024, alongside Glitter Force.

After an evil force known as the Jikochu (ジコチュー, Jikochū; Saban: Mercenares) attacks Trump Kingdom (トランプ王国, Toranpu Ōkoku; Saban: Splendorius) its ruler, Princess Marie Ange, goes missing. Makoto, a warrior who served Marie Ange, flees to Earth with her fairy partner and a trio of young fairies to find her and girls who can become Pretty Cures to save the kingdom.

Sharuru (Saban: Kippie), one of the fairies, finds enthusiastic middle-school student Mana (Saban: Maya) during a visit to the Clover Tower. When a monster called a Jikochu (Saban: Distain), which is formed from a person's selfish desires, attacks, Mana gains the ability to transform into Cure Heart (Saban: Glitter Heart) using Sharuru's power and items called Cure Loveads (キュアラビーズ, Kyua Rabīzu; Saban: Glitter Charms) and a smartphone-like device called a Lovely Commune (ラブリーコミューン, Raburī Komyūn; Saban: Glitter Pad). Along with her friends Rikka and Alice, as well as Makoto and the mysterious girl Aguri Madoka, who later joins them, they become Pretty Cure to save Trump Kingdom while protecting people's hearts from selfishness and the Jikochu.

The Cures transform using the power of the Cure Loveads (キュアラビーズ, Kyua Rabīzu; Saban: Glitter Charms), which they place in a smartphone-like device called the Lovely Commune (ラブリーコミューン, Raburī Komyūn; Saban: Glitter Pad). To transform, they say the phrase Pretty Cure, Love Link! (プリキュア ラブリンク!, Purikyua Rabu Rinku!; Saban: Glitter Force Makeover!) and trace out the letters L-O-V-E on their devices. The Loveads can enhance their powers and allow them to use new attacks, with them later gaining the Love Heart Arrow and the Magical Lovely Pad, which allow them to use more powerful purification attacks. They introduce themselves with the phrase: "Listen to the heartbeat of love! DokiDoki! Pretty Cure!" (響け愛の鼓動!ドキドキ!プリキュア, Hibike ai no kodō! DokiDoki! Purikyua!; Saban: All together, Glitter Force Doki Doki!).

Trump Kingdom (トランプ王国, Toranpu Ōkoku; Saban: Splendorius) is a kingdom where the fairies, as well as Makoto, Joe, and Marie Ange, are from. Prior to the events of the series, it was attacked by the Jikochu and Marie Ange went missing. After the final battle, it becomes a republic after King Trump decides to retire from the throne and Joe becomes its president.

The Jikochu (ジコチュー; lit. "selfishnesses", Saban: Mercenares) are led by the king of Trump Kingdom, who was possessed by Proto Jikochu, whom the legendary Pretty Cure had sealed away, and was transformed into King Jikochu. Their goal is to transform selfish desires into "Janergy" (ジャネジー, Janejī) in order to revive their leader and create more of their kind. King Jikochu and his generals each represent one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
