## History

### First Appearance

He appears and summons a Yaraneeda to steal Motivation Power from a group of runners. He then spots Laura, and has the Yaraneeda capture her to steal her Motivation Power too. However, before that can happen, Manatsu interrupts and he watches as she becomes Cure Summer. He then decides to make the Yaraneeda steal Summer's Motivation Power, but the plan backfires. Feeling unmotivated, Chongire leaves after his Yaraneeda is defeated.

He, along with Elda and Numeri, begins to get frustrated for their own repeated failures. Knowing that Laura has been assisting the Cures, Chongire decides to go along with a plan that Numeri suggested and successfully kidnaps Laura. Later in episode 17, he and Numeri attack a cruise ship and their Zenzen Yaraneeda successfully overpower Coral, Papaya and Flamingo. He also manages to defeat Summer easily. However, after Laura transforms into La Mer for the first time, he and Numeri are left defeated due to La Mer's assistance for the other Cures.

### Becoming Chou Zettai Yaraneeda and Confronting the Cures

He is cooking and unknowingly gives directions about the Witch's room to Manatsu, until he realizes he was talking to her. He along with Elda and Numeri later realizes what the Fool's Casket looks like, but then gets forcibly turned into a Yaraneeda by Butler after he disagrees with Butler, much to Numeri and Elda's horror.

### Free and Aiding the Cures

He gets purified and rescued by the Cures in episode 44, but Butler Yaraneeda ends up draining his Motivation Power. However in episode 45, he manages to regain his footing. He decides to help the Cures, but is no match against Butler, and he also gains a scar during the fight. After Butler is purified, he tries to tell him to stop destroying the world, but to no avail. He barely escapes the collapsing trench, and after Butler's remaining motivation is gone, he decides to leave while taking Butler away to prevent him from trying to destroy the world again. He apologizes and bids the girls farewell before leaving.

### Epilogue

He along with Numeri and Elda meets Laura for the last time, and she reminds them to never forget about her. He is last seen having become the owner of his rather popular food stall while continues living in the now damaged mansion with Elda and Numeri.

## Appearance

He is a blue hermit crab who wears a red scarf around his neck, and a red belt around his waist. He sometimes wears a chef's uniform, with a white shirt and matching hat.

He now has a scar on his right eye after the events of fighting against Butler.

## Personality

Although he is tasked with stealing Motivation Power, he seems to view the mission as troublesome, wanting to leave as soon as he steals a satisfactory amount. He is also very kind towards his other comrades.

## Abilities

He is able to summon Yaraneedas by throwing a ball of dark energy at objects to steal Motivation Power from humans. He is also able to fire giant rocks from his claws.

## Trivia

* In the *Animage January 2022* issue, it was revealed that both him and Numeri's voice actors had to be directed to sound less motivated for them to fit their characters.
