Girinma

Girinma has pale skin and short, green hair.

His standard human form consists of a gray suit, a black fedora, and round, dark blue sunglasses.

He always carries a cane.

In battle, he transforms into a creature resembling a mantis—sprouting wings and wielding long, sharp sickles as arms.

When entering his final form, his skin turns purple, his eyes glow yellow, and his sickles and shoulder pads become even more exaggerated.

Girinma acts as a sinister gentleman on the surface but is truly ruthless and cold-hearted beneath.

He finds genuine pleasure in insulting and hurting others, being fully aware—and even proud—of his own cruelty and cowardice.

Driven by ambition, he wants to become an executive officer in Nightmare, showing intense loyalty to the organization.

However, he is submissive and nervous around his superior, Bunbee, and never talks back, usually muttering his complaints in a low voice.

While he is merciless towards the weak, he becomes timid around those above him in rank.

Girinma works in the same division as Bunbee within Nightmare and has played a significant role during Nightmare's invasion of Palmier Kingdom.

He dreams of catching the Dream Collet and defeating PreCure 5, aiming for a promotion to Nightmare’s executive meeting.

According to Bunbee, they have a long-standing relationship, sometimes staying up all night talking at each other’s homes.

In battle, Girinma can transform into a winged mantis-like monster with blue skin and deadly sickles.

His primary forms of attack involve slashing with his sickles, capable of generating powerful gusts of wind when he fights seriously.

When all else fails, he can use the “Black Paper” to undergo a monstrous transformation, enhancing his speed and power dramatically.

His final form comes with huge, glowing yellow eyes, increased aggression, and even bigger sickles and shoulder armor.

Girinma serves directly under Bunbee, whom he both fears and resents, but also has a close, complex camaraderie with outside work.

He is loyal to Nightmare and particularly dedicated to furthering the organization’s goals, sometimes at the expense of his own safety or pride.

He has a history of significant action during the assault on Palmier Kingdom.

• "Ah, I am a coward. Hand it over, now!"
• "It huuurts sooo much!"
• "If you're so worried, why don't you do it yourself... (muttering)"
• "N-no, sir! (sweating)"
• "I’ve worked so hard for Nightmare... And because of you all, I—!"

Early Ambitions in Nightmare

Girinma starts as a zealous subordinate in Bunbee’s division of Nightmare, making several attempts to capture the Dream Collet and defeat PreCure 5.

His actions are marked by a blend of underhanded tactics and outright brutality, seeking recognition and promotion to the organization’s board.

Relationship with Bunbee

Despite often complaining about Bunbee’s sarcasm, Girinma never truly opposes him.

He even shares a complicated bond with his superior, having been close since their days invading the Palmier Kingdom.

A String of Failures

Repeated defeats at the hands of PreCure 5 gradually erode Nightmare’s trust in Girinma.

Eventually, Bunbee gives him the “Black Paper,” a final warning from the organization.

The Final Showdown

Realizing his last chance has come, Girinma uses the Black Paper to transform into his final form.

He overwhelms everyone except Nozomi Yumehara (Cure Dream) at first.

Power-Up and Defeat

Still struggling in battle, Girinma is empowered further by Kawarino, but his new strength is not enough.

Ultimately, the PreCure 5 team regains their unity and together unleash their strongest attack, “PreCure Five Explosion,” causing Girinma to vanish—becoming the first fallen member of Nightmare.

• In the manga adaptation by Futago Kamikita, due to limited space, Girinma’s human form doesn’t appear.
• In the manga, he’s portrayed as a more animalistic monster who speaks in broken, rough language.
