Belzei Gertrude (ベルゼイ・ガートルード) Beruzei Gātorūdo?) (Beruzei in the English Dub) is one of the Seeds of Darkness to have been created by the Evil King. He is the leader of the three Seeds, and apparently the strongest. His human alias is Yuuki Genbu (結城玄武 Yūki Genbu?).

Bio[]

Appearance[]

As Yuuki Genbu he resembles a small older gentleman with grey hair worn back with none of it in front of his ears and small, dark-colored eyes. He wears a brown suit with a pale yellow shirt and striped tie.

In his true form, his hair stands up and changes to light silver-white to match his eyes. He has pale skin and wears a purple spandex suit with pieces of material wrapping around his arms and hand. He gains purple facial markings reminiscent of claws. When he fuses with Regine and Juna, all his body, including hair, became dark black.

Personality[]

He is an authoritative leader who always wants to be in charge. He gets rather irritated with Regine and Juna sometimes, but later when it comes to survival he does show concern for his fellow allies. He is also a cunning planner who is too ambitious, as he later trams up with Juna and Regina in an attempt to grab the Prism Stones' power for themselves and overthrow the Evil King.

Etymology[]

Belzei (ベルゼイ?) derives from "Beelzebub" (ベルゼブブ beruzebubu?), another name for Satan that originated from a Philistine god.

Gertrude (ガートルード?) is a feminine name derived from Germanic roots meaning "spear" and "strength."

Yuuki (結城 Yūki?) is made up of the kanji "結," to tie something up, and "城," meaning castle. The name Yuuki (結城 Yūki?) in its specific spelling is also the name of a city in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, which is known for its globally-recognized "yuki-tsumugi" (結城紬 Yūki tsumugi?) silk products named after the location.

Genbu (玄武?) is the name of the Black Tortoise, one of the Four Symbols in Chinese mythology.

After the first time Cure Black and Cure White defeated the Evil King, he is created by the former to fight against the Cures.

He and the other Seeds use Pretty Cure and the mascots to call upon the power to create later in the series, using a pile of destroyed furniture to mimic the hill of light. At the end of the series, they morph into one being and try to overturn the Evil King with the power to create, but fail, being killed in the process.

Trivia[]

  • Belzei's human alias was originally "Yuuki Hidehiko" as per a children's magazine. However, according to the second Futari wa Pretty Cure Large Encyclopedia, which was released as the first season was still airing, his name was changed to "Yuuki Genbu."[1] It should be noted that neither names are spoken in the actual anime itself.
  • Belzei's seiyuu, Nishimura Tomomichi, also voiced Moebius from Fresh Pretty Cure! and Aoki Soutarou from Smile Pretty Cure!.
  • As the Seeds of Darkness are likely loosely based off the Four Symbols in Chinese mythology, this would mean Belzei represents the Black Tortoise, as his civilian alias, Yuuki Genbu (結城玄武 Yūki Genbu?), has the "玄武" for the creature.
