I don't really want to call it "dark", just more frank about the actual implications of what certain actions do. Using souls and a person's suffering and inner darkness to make a monster isn't a new theme for Pretty Cure. But what does that actually do to the person who's been corrupted, when the parts of themselves they’ve buried are forced to the forefront of their mind? What does it mean for those surrounding them? Things are still going to be worlds more idealist than the rout I could go for, which is why I don’t consider it dark.

I have no idea what you mean about Japan. I certainly haven’t intended to make any comments about Japan of all places.
