Cryasse Corporation

**Cryasse Corporation** (クライアス社 *Kuraiasu Sha*?) are the main antagonists in *Hugtto! Pretty Cure*. Their goal is to obtains Mirai Crystal and rob Earth's future away by freezing time so everyone can have "eternal happiness".

Although they have many more employees, most of the season's villains are from the **Azababu branch office**.

## History

It is not known when the company was founded. The Azababu branch office was established in 2018.

The Cryasse Corporation was responsible for taking away Hugtan & Harry's world's future. It was thanks to the White Mirai Crystal that the two escaped. The company is pursuing them to acquire the Crystal.

t was disestablished as of episode 48 when George Cry was defeated, with its employees being purified by the Cures throughout the season.

As revealed in the new future in episode 49, by going back in time to save her own future, Hugtan prevented Hagukumi City’s time from being stopped along with Cryasse Corporation's existence in the original timeline from ever happening to begin with.

## Trivia

* This is the second antagonistic group that resides in the tall building, the first being Nightmare from Yes! Pretty Cure 5.
* Lulu, Daigan, and Restore are the only Cryasse Corporation's employees who never become Oshimaidas when confronting the Cures.
* Minus George Cry, who stayed in the present timeline, Papple, Daigan and Dr. Traum are the only members who have not aged after returning to the future. This implies that they are the oldest members of the organization.
* A LINE Stickers set dedicated to the Cryasse Corporation was released in 2018.
* Another employee appears in the Live on Stage shows, a lively young man named Paripino (パリピーノ?) whose looks and personality resemble Chararit. He even appears in the Cryasse LINE Stickers set. Video link to a trailer.
	+ Perhaps they wanted to use Chararit as a character but decided to create someone in his likeness instead. Chararit was already redeemed as a villain by the time the musical live shows were aired.
	+ Paripino's name probably comes from paripari (パリパリ?), which can mean "energetic", but also "brand-new/high quality (clothing)".
