JokaRei

JokaRei is the het ship between Joker and Reika Aoki from the Pretty Cure fandom.

Canon
When they went to Bad End Kingdom, the commanders, Wolfrun, Akaoni, Majorina and Joker were waiting for them. While the other Cures were fighting the 3 commanders, Joker tried to stop Happy. But Beauty and Pop battled him instead and Joker was quite impressed by her strength and intelligence. All the Cures were almost defeated, but when they remembered their promise, Beauty and the Pretty Cures pumped their adrenaline and powers allowing her to have a strong Beauty Blizzard and defeated Joker, but he managed to escape.

After the three generals all fail to defeat any of the Cures, Joker decides to target them himself. And then chooses to attack Cure Beauty. As Reika questions her decision to study abroad, Joker appears before her and drags them both into an alternate world. Reika transforms into Cure Beauty and prepares to fight, but Joker instead congratulates her, explaining that he would love for her to leave for England, as it would give him one less Cure to defeat. He twists and turns his words, taunting Beauty and stating that it would be selfish to stay with everyone in Japan as they all wanted her to go. As expected, Beauty is broken by his words, and turns back into Reika.

However, with the help of her fellow Cures and Candy, Reika then realizes that her path is to stay with her friends and to remain a Pretty Cure. Once again, she transforms into Cure Beauty. Joker utilizes the Black Nose Akanbe to have a sword fight with Beauty. In an attempt to beat her, Joker makes multiple copies of himself. However, she is able to see through them and unlocks her new attack: Beauty Blizzard Arrow.

10 years later, Reika becomes a teacher of the same school she attended. She felt tired due to a culprit in school so she tried to sleep on the one of the desk. When she wakes up, it was dark and the sun had set meaning, everyone had gone home but the atmosphere felt weird to her. She noticed someone sitting on the culprit's sit named Irie. she thought it was one of his pranks that is when she was met with a cackle. the moon reflects to the figure making it clearer for her to see a familiar figure. It was Joker. Due to her lack of memory of her being a Pretty cure, she fails to see him as a dangerous person until he attacks. Joker uses his sharp cards trapping her in the classroom instantly. he then grabs on to her neck and throws her against the blackboard calling her names and telling her that she doesn't have what it takes to be a teacher while choking her until she finally wakes up sweating heavenly and realizes that it was all a dream.

Fanon
Many of the fandom ships them, especially the Japanese fanbase. However, much like other ships in the Smile PreCure series, many people also do not like it and disregard it as pedophilia due to Reika being 14 during the show and Joker being hundreds of years old. However, despite this, it's one of the most popular ships in all of Precure. It has hundreds of fanarts on sites like Pixiv and Zero-Chan, and there's a couple edits of it on Instagram as well as other sites.

The support for the ship depends on where you look. In multiple Smile PreCure Amino's, the ship is banned due to it's controversial undertones. However, in different communities such as Pixiv and a few discord servers, the ship is highly praised and welcomed.
