Deep Blue

"In the end, you plan to oppose me? Alright." - Deep Blue to Quiche, after Quiche betrays him. Deep Blue ( ディープ・ブルー, Dīpu Burū) is the main antagonist from the manga series Tokyo Mew Mew and its anime adaptation. He is the leader of the alien antagonists who come to Earth, wishing to "reclaim it."

Tokyo Mew Mew
Deep Blue came to Earth years before the other aliens and took the form of a human boy named Masaya Aoyama. This was so he could avoid any detection from his enemies. He went to sleep within Masaya's body, leaving Masaya with no memories or a personality of his own. However, he shared Deep Blue's disgust for the way humans treated the Earth's environment.

In the anime adaptation, Deep Blue is seen from the second episode as a voice coming from a blue light to whom Quiche gives progress reports. As the series progresses, Quiche brings him some Mew Aqua allowing a shadowed version of his true form to be seen. His method of death is changed to come at the hands of Mew Ichigo rather than Masaya, though Masaya aids her by taking over the body.

When Quiche challenges him to a duel to protect Ichigo, Deep Blue kills him without any hesitation. This action enables Masaya to temporarily re-emerge and release Mew Aqua inside their body, killing both Deep Blue and himself. Ichigo transfers her own life force into Masaya after Masaya sacrifices himself to kill Deep Blue, which kills her, but is subsequently revived by the Mew Aqua in Masaya.

Appearance
Deep Blue is a pale-skinned humanoid alien with long jet-black hair and cold, sharp, aqua eyes.

Personality
Deep Blue is a heartless, cruel, brutal, cold-natured alien.

Trivia

 * Though Deep Blue is the series primary antagonist, he does not actually appear until the end of the sixth volume of the manga.
 * To keep the true identity of Deep Blue a secret in the anime, his voice actor's name is shown only as a question mark until the forty-ninth episode when his identity is revealed; after which the credits are changed to list Megumi Ogata, who also voices Masaya and the Blue Knight.
 * Deep Blue is one of the few characters in the Mew Mew Power dub version whose name remains unchanged. His role is slightly modified from that of a savior for the aliens to his being a destructive force that wants to do nothing but destroy the Earth, causing the aliens to turn against him.
