Negatone (ネガトーン)? are the main monsters of Suite Pretty Cure♪. They are born when corrupted musical notes possess an ordinary object near them. To summon a Negatone, a Minor Land commander shouts out "Come out, Negatone!" (出でよ！ネガトーン！)? and emits sound waves to corrupt a nearby note.
Negatone are normally summoned by whoever is leading the Minor Land team in that particular episode. They can only emit cries of "Negatone" or "Nega", but can also talk in coherent terms, depending on what their possessed object is. It has been told by Siren in episode 20 that usually a Negatone does not listen to anyone other than the summoner.
All Negatone are voiced by Ōbayashi Yōhei.
Appearance
Although each Negatone is unique in design, they possess some similarities in their appearance. Most are distorted versions of the possessed object, surrounded by a white skeleton. They possess a marking similar to what Hummy and Siren have on their foreheads, except that it is inverted. They have yellow, sharp-looking eyes.
After the Minor Land team powered up in episode 26, the summoned Negatones possessed black skeletons instead of white.
Abilities and Powers
The abilities and powers of each Negatone depend on the possessed object. All Negatones can emit special red sound waves that bring sorrow to people. The sad energy emitted by people in sorrow is essential for the revival of the ultimate villain, Noise.
When multiple notes are used to create one Negatone, it becomes stronger than usual. However, if the notes within it turn against each other, the Negatone will lose control and be unable to fight, as demonstrated in episode 20.
The powered-up Negatones with the black skeletons are stronger than their earlier counterparts and can increase their attack ability by combining their cries with the Minor Land team.
When a Negatone is defeated, the Cures put it to sleep so that Hummy can purify the corrupted musical note. The purified note will be absorbed by one of the Fairy Tones.
List of Negatones
Etymology
