This is the Four-hundredth-thirty-ninth week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.

Last time on "Emperortopaz's Character Blog"...

*The video shows a more stylized version of the characters, with big heads and everything.*

: HAH!

We will stop you, Cell. For I have brought forth the greatest champions Earth has to offer!

: Like the Explosion Monster!

: And the Princess of all Mayo-nassie!

: Mwahaha! Bring it on, you ninnies!

How rude! Hi-yah!

*The costumed Topaz and Cell battle in the sky, though supported by wires.*

Hi-yah! Wait, no hold on-there. HAYAH!

: Wtcha!

*Cell manages to defeat everyone easily.*

: HAHAHA, Losers! You thought you were hot, but in fact you were not!

You are most unkind!

: Mwahaha, my power is maximum!

???: Hold it!

*From off screen another costumed character shows up.*

: Huh?

: TREMBLE *cough cough* k-keep rolling. Tremble in fear, for it is I, the great Mr. Satan!

: You foolish little man! Sha-bam! Wahahah!

*Cell presses a button with his foot. Explosions happen around Mr. Satan, who leaps out of the way.*

: Sha-bam yourself!

: What?! How did you get so strong?

: With push-ups, and sit-ups, and plenty of juice!

: Ah yes, you make a good point. But then again, so do I!

*Cell hits a switch and spears jab at Mr. Satan from the ground. He grabs the spears instead.*

: HA! Think of this, as your CHANCES!

*He breaks the spears easily. Cell retreats and bows submissively.*

: Nooo! You have shown me the error of my ways. Please, forgive me!

: Never! Your crimes against humanity cannot go unpunished! I shall now send you-TO THE NEXT DIMENSION!

: EEEE!

*Satan starts punching Cell.*

: See... You... In... HFIL!

*Cell goes flying and hits a rock, falling to the ground.*

Mondo cool!

: His coolness is over 9000!

: Over 9000, nooooo!

*Cell explodes.*

: Justice prevails!

*We now return to the actual people huddled around a television set.*

: That was tripe! Who wrote that terrible garbage?

I don't know, I kinda liked it.

: Speak for yourself. At least you got lines!

: Needed more explosions too!

: Weren't there two of them?

: Still needed more! My crimson demon blood demands it!

: Sounds like Michael Bay is a long lost relative of the crimson demon clan. But jokes aside we should tell people what has been happening.

Sure, and welcome back everyone. Last time Cell was defeated by a massive explosion, and now his boss Hibiki has shown her face.

: Though power wise I'd imagine it was the opposite...

: My power aside I'll still defeat you!

Why would you want to defeat me?

: Oh like you don't know!

I-I don't.

: A likely story-ZettaiRyouiki!

*Hibiki points threateningly at Topaz.*

Who, me?

: That's right! The clever disguise may have worked on everyone else, but I know it's you!

: I assure you that this is Topaz. Do you really think that we'd make such an elaborate trick?

I don't know, Chiaki was stolen away and I didn't notice until she was revealed.

: But we've been calling him "Topaz" this whole time!

: LIES! You're just trying to trick me, but I'm too smart for you!

: Even if this was Zettai, why would you be so angry at him?

: Didn't you even help him at one time?

: That was all part of my master plan. Obviously he deserves to punishment for calling me the worst pink cure!

Being fair I think that Mana, Haruka, and now Ichika are all punishment enough...

: A likely story! Now, shall I introduce myself or...

I introduce the girls around here. At least when I'm not lazy. But it seems that...



: Just because you've changed your ways and gotten a new assistant doesn't mean I won't still punish you.

Why would you even think I'm Zettai though!

: Isn't it obvious? You talk about a lot of things just like him!

Such as?

: Well, you talk about how great that Megumin teen was!

: Huhuhu. That is hardly enough reason, everyone can see that I'm the best character.

: You talked about an assy middle schooler too! She even stunk up the place with smelly farts!

: She's got you there...

: And you've been downgrading girls if they show off their breasts too much!

: You have been doing that, haven't you...

That's just because it gets annoying. But is it true, have I lost my identity? Am I becoming too much like Zettai?

: NO! He's still the Topaz I know and lo-er, Know!

: Prove it then!

: Topaz will prove it by doing the blog this week! And since he'll do it on you and double-examples pretty much never happen it shall prove that he's not Zettai!

Exactly!

: A likely excuse, but I won't mind hearing about myself again. Go ahead, and make this your final blog!

I doubt that this will be the final one. That would be boring. But here I go!

Head
Hair: Hibiki, like many Cures, has two different hair styles. Her civilian form has long brown hair (or orange, I'm not good with colors it seems). Hibiki's hair is long, reaching about to her waist which helps, and most of it is free-flowing which I like as well. She does have twintails, but they're up high on her head rather than taking up the entire length of her hair. Hibiki also has pink ribbons at the base of her twintails, and as a whole I do like this part of her hair. Sadly her bangs aren't quite interesting, with a fairly standard long middle bang. Her sides do go past her ears, which looks nice, and she keeps hair over her shoulders in thick strands. I probably could have used Hibiki putting her hair down more, but I think I can remember some good parts and I don't want to be greedy. Cure Melody isn't that great. As a Pink Cure it's fitting that she has pink hair, though it is a bit brighter than I would like. I do like how her twintails become much bigger as it gives her a cutesy look, especially with the curves that make her twintails look a little braided. There's a slight drill at the tip of the twintails, and at the base by her head are braided rings. Melody also has a cute ribbon-headband which tops off her nice haircut. Though I will mention that Melody's bangs don't change much from the switch over. Overall, even if twintails aren't too favored Hibiki's style is one of the two ways I like them and Melody's hair isn't too bad either. Nothing too special but still pretty good.
Grade: B

Eyes: Suite does have a somewhat distinct artstyle, making the girls look a little bit older than they might normally. The eyes do show this a little, but I'll explain it a bit further in the next area. Anyway Hibiki does have somewhat large eyes with a lot of eyelashes. Though maybe it's just because her hair is closer to her eyes, I'm not sure. She does have noticeable eyebrows, but nowhere near girls like Saki from Splash Star either. Anyway, Hibiki has blue eyes, with Melody becoming a lighter shade. I do like the color of Hibiki's eyes, but blue eyes are somewhat common sadly enough. I do like the cool gradient style, though it does make her eyes look a little glassy (though in a good way, I mean). Overall her eyes aren't too bad, but another color might have worked better for the eyes. Oh, and I will mention that Hibiki does wear sunglasses as part of a disguise at one point (though both that and her afro wig aren't counted in their respective areas due to how little they're worn).
Grade: B-

Face: As sad before Suite made the Cures look a little older than normal. Hibiki does have a sorta acorn-shaped head, which doesn't look too bad (especially with all the hair she has). Occasionally she does have a large nose, though not too often that I can remember. Her cheeks are somewhat rounded, though only slightly so. Probably the best aspect of Hibiki's face is that she has a lot of really silly faces. Both for reactions and general goofiness (like pretending to be a gorilla or licking frosting on her nose) she's pretty amusing. Still, there does seem to be something off about faces of the two original Suite leads, I just can't put my finger on it...
Grade: B-

: GRRR... I can't believe you're talking about me again! And you've changed your criteria so much as well!

I haven't changed my sections though. That should prove that I'm not Zettai.

: It just means that you're changing it to disguise it better!

: You're like one of those conspiracy nuts now, aren't you?

: NO! And before this blog ends I'll defeat you! I won't forgive you for the misdeeds you've done!

Now how will you plan on doing that?

: Like this: Let's Play! Pretty Cure Modulation!

: I've never heard about that game-wait, I get it now. HEY!

*It is too late as Hibiki has become Cure Melody.*

: In this form I'll easily be able to defeat you.

That might be true!

: Wait, did we just skip out on the transformation sequence?

In all fairness I could only find the one with her and Kanade together. And I'm NOT going to run around just to find her partner again.

: So you DO know where she is!

What? No, I didn't say that-

: Yeah, right. Like you don't know that the rest of the evil team has taken her hostage to get me to follow their orders.

How horrible, but that explains why you're here!

: Perhaps, but "Evil team" is about the laziest name yet.

: I may have forgotten the name, but it won't matter once I beat you up!

*Melody runs at Topaz, with her arm back ready to punch. However, as she approaches Vividred blocks the attack with a buttpunch.*

: It's alright Topaz, I'll defend you from her! Finish the blog!

Thanks for that, Akane!

: Even using other monthly girls to fight is a very Zettai thing to do!

: I really hope that HE won't show up...

Ririchiyo, we don't mention the dark times.

: D-DARK TIMES?! Sounds like my kind of blog!

: It really isn't.

You'd rather not know.

: I would I would!

Now, let's get to the blog...

*Topaz's expert deflection gets the blog back on route. Meanwhile Akane and Cure Melody are having an epic battle in the sky above.*

Body
Build: Hibiki isn't too different from any average Precure, even if she does look a little older. She's also not shown off too much, which is unfortunate. She does have a slender teen body, and she does show her stomach which helps a little. She's also athletic, but her legs are sadly slender (though her thighs are a bit thicker, even if not by much). Hibiki doesn't even show her butt, which hurts her quite a bit.
Grade: C+

Chest: Likewise Hibiki doesn't do too well here. She's slender like many other Cures (even if fanart tends to disagree), and not much is shown off either. It's always a shame to get to this area on a great girl like Hibiki. Well, a Cure like Hibiki at least.
Grade: C

Clothes: Fortunately Hibiki does pretty well here. Her main outfit is her uniform, which is a pretty good one all things considered. It consists of a blue blazer with white shirt underneath (with frills around the collar and wrists) and a frilled skirt with a red stripe. There's also a big red bow on the collar, with the ribbon being so long it reaches her waist. Her more casual wear consists of a black sleeveless shirt with a pink design, a long-sleeved white undershirt, a pink frilly skirt, and black leggings. The leggings are a problem as they don't look good (spats would have been better) and frilly skirts in general are bad as they hide the ass. She also has big white shoes as well. Other outfits include a soccer uniform (with shorts) and a Santa costume with hat. Cure Melody is a standard pink magical girl with a frilly skirt and top with ribbon on the chest. Her midriff is showing, though I don't know if that includes her navel or not. There still problems with it, and I'm not sure if the heels or the frilly underskirt is the worst one. Still I will have to appreciate her thighhighs. In the White Crescendo version she gains golden wings and a long golden "tail". Overall not one of the best pink cures, but I do like her looks at least a little and the variety and school uniform do help (even if the neck and sleeves would bother me).
Grade: B

: HEY! I still want answers!

*Riri cups her hands and whispers in Megumin's ear. Her face becomes one of disgust and she backs away from Topaz.*

Hey now, I won't bite.

: I don't believe you!

Come on, just get closer.

: I'm just fine over here!

: KYAAAH!

*Akane goes flying between them, also rolling on the ground while damaged. She ends up outside of the ring they were all fighting in.*

: Ouchies! Looks like she kicked my ass better than I thought she would!

: In all fairness it was a rather large target. But now it's time for me to defeat you, Zettai!

: STOOOP!

*Megumin gets between Melody and Topaz, blocking her path.*

: Do you really think that you can defeat me?

: No, especially now that I've used up my explosion for the day. But I'll still buy enough time for him to finish.

: We're counting on you, Megumin!

*Megumin thumbs up the two bloggers.*

: Just get it done quickly, I don't know how long I'll be able to last!

I'll get right on it then!

Mind
Personality: Hibiki is a standard pink cure, with being cheerful and energetic. She has a lot of energy, and is fairly headstrong (though that does not mean she's smart). She can be a big eater, especially when it comes to sweets made by her friend Kanade, and Hibiki is also tomboyish and can be GAR at times. Hibiki in battle can be a little reckless, and sadly she's one of the first Pink Cures to be a problem as she steals an upgrade during another character's episode. She's also easily irritated and gets into arguments, which is a problem for my tastes. Hibiki also plays piano as her parents are both musicians, though since they're often gone Hibiki is usually home alone. She's become self-reliant, though she's jealous that Kanade has a younger sibling to be with. Overall Hibiki isn't too strong, but she should feel fortunate that there's been a good deal worse Pink Cures in the series since her. Stealing one or two upgrades is nothing compared to pretty much stealing the entire season, and while Hibiki does get an exclusive upgrade in the movie it's better than having the series give her one. It's almost a shame that Hibiki was done by Ami Koshimizu, not because it doesn't fit her (it works surprisingly well) but because I really like her voice and this was not the strongest example she could have had. Her performance isn't too bad, but still.
Grade: B-

Libido: Hibiki and Kanade kinda have one of the "strongest" yuri pairs in the PreCure series. It's to the point where the two act like a married couple, but sadly this means more that they bicker than actually act like lovers. Fortunately the bickering stops after the first dozen episodes, but the damage has still been done. Other than Kanade Hibiki really doesn't have a love interest, which is uncommon as far as Pink Cures seem to be. Overall she just doesn't do strong here at all.
Grade: C

Age: Even if Hibiki looks older due to the art style she's still only 14 years old. She's a second year as usual, but unfortunately I could not find her actual birthdate (some Cures seem to be lacking them). Not too different considering most Cures are about that age.
Grade: B-

Total Grades: 60
Average score: 6.7
Final Grade: B-

And that's the blog for this week! Now, how is Megumin doing?

*The camera shows Megumin on her hands and knees, her ass upward and her hat on her staff.*

: Just in time it looks like.

: I can't believe that you'd judge me so much worse than last time when there's other worse Pink Cures these days.

: That's about average for PreCures from Topaz though. Unless it's one that he really likes, at least.

And besides, other than the one I just did I haven't done a blog about you before.

: You're still lying, even if I have all this evidence to the GWAAAH!

*Melody kneels down, holding her ears.*

: Stop the sound! You don't have to keep telling me that's Zettai, I know it is already!

What the?

: Seems she's under hypnosis somehow! No wonder she hasn't been herself!

Wait, you mean that's not just my poor writing?

: I mean there's that, but this is the much better plot-important reason!

*Melody gets up.*

: The noises won't stop until I defeat you, Topaz!

: Noise won't stop? Well we did have Cell last time, why not have Frieza's VA guest appear as well.

: Not that noise, but you must understand that lying to me is unforgivable! Now, I'm betting my pride as a woman on this next attack! Music Ron-

*Topaz interrupts.*

Hey, Cure Melody. There's something that you should know.

: What?

Something I forgot to mention last week.

: Just spit it out. I'm already in mid-attack.

Megumin... Doesn't need to recite the words to her spell.

: I don't think that matters now, she's far too weak to cast it again!

But there's another... EXPLOSION!

*Topaz holds out his hand and causes a large explosion (still smaller than Megumin's, of course). Melody gets blasted out of the ring, and transforms back to her civilian form. The mind-control helmet also gets destroyed.*

: W-what happened? Where am I?

: Topaz used an explosion and blew you away!

: Eh, for an imitation it's not bad but it had far less power. I'd give it a 7.8/10, too much water.

Being fair I'm not specialized in explosions as you are.

: I see then. So you are indeed Topaz. There's no way that Zettai could use an attack like that.

: Well there is the Anger Strike-

Don't give her any ideas! So Hibiki, why were you recruited to the side of evil again?

: OH! It was because Kanade was kidnapped!

Do you know where she is?

: Of course. What, are you going to go break her out?

Certainly, you two deserve to be together!

: Because then Topaz can use the transformation video.

That's not the only reason!

: But how are you going to break her out? The fortress is heavily guarded!

True, who knows what sort of girls I'd have to face if I had to explore the entire enemy stronghold.

: Well, I guess that the fortress would be easier to storm than the main stronghold, but you'll have to sneak in undetected!

True... But I have a plan...

*Topaz looks at the cloak with big shoulders that Hibiki was wearing when she first appeared as "Cacophony".*

Looks like next week we'll be having fun entering an enemy base!

: Join us then!

: Sadly not me, I have to return to my paper route!

: And it seems that my summons are dying down. Until we meet again.

If you happen upon Zettai you should be sure to greet him in smelly and explosive ways!

*Megumin thumbs up as she dissipates.*

Well, it seems like we have a major plan for next time too, but until then readers!

: Seems we'll be looking at more Suite girls too!
