Who is the best turncoat character? (Round 2)
A tournament for characters who change allegiances and/or have a redemption or corruption arc during their stories
PROPAGANDA:
Theon Greyjoy- Child lives ten years of his life with his blood family and then becomes a hostage and spends ten more years growing up with his captor's family. He wants to be loved he wants to be praised he wants to belong SOMEWHERE... he's kind of an ass. Ends up betraying his friend/"foster brother" Robb because he went back to his birth family and they mocked him for integrating himself with his captors. Steals Robb's castle... and then things just get more fucked up than he meant them to. Theon's conflict of being a "Greyjoy" who grew up "Stark" and his descent to rock bottom in the second book is only made more compelling when we pick back up with him in book 5, where he's gone through horrors beyond our imagination and crawls his way back up. He's also literally called "Theon Turncloak" by the side he betrayed, and one of his POV chapters is titled as such.
Setsuna Higaishi- Was born and raised in a cult bent on multiversal domination and discovered the power of friendship. She tried to reject the power of friendship, but her new friends wouldn't let her. Her bosses killed her, but she came back to life due to the quick action of the Magical Precure Baby. Finally told her bosses to go screw themselves, got adopted, joined a dance team, and took down her cult's hierarchy, freeing her entire dimension.

I know you want the bunny duo, but... for the reverse unpopular opinion meme: Positives about if Satoru and Daifuku DON'T become cures?
I suppose that if they don't, I could see them doing a storyline about Satoru (and maybe Daifuku too though to a lesser extent) being essential in their own way, and pushing a message that you don't have to be magic to be important, and the people around you will love and protect you regardless.
I actually might even love it more if Satoru had a bit of a crisis about not being helpful enough and started trying to do more, pushing himself and putting himself into danger, culminating in a scene where Iroha and the rest confront him and tell him they don't care how much he actually helps during fights, because he's their friend and that's all that matters to them. He doesn't have to be 'useful' for them to keep him around.
That sort of message would be really empowering to a lot of little kids who ARE weaker or helpless and can't be as 'useful' as their peers for whatever reason, be that situation or disability or something else. Those kids and those people Do Exist and telling them that they matter Anyway would be so special for me to see.
If they went a direction like that... then I'd be perfectly fine with it :D

hummy and nao are basically the same character but in completely different genres (magical girl show for kids vs seinen debt game manga), so i drew them together :)
hooray for the unwavering belief in people's capability for good ❤️

How successful would Sora Harewataru/Cure Sky…
Mic skills propaganda:
She is a Pretty Cure lead, so her speech skills are already pretty good.

Wrestling skills propaganda:
Canonically strong enough to split a boulder in half with her bare fists while not in her magical girl form, also really strong as a magical girl

Violet and Poppy should become Pretty Cure together. Poppy would be the pink lead and Violet would be the cool older sister type.
It's very clear who the villains could be.
Just some thoughts I had.
