50 free Tokyo Mew Mew trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Tokyo Mew Mew began as a manga drawn by Mia Ikumi and became one of the best-loved magical-girl stories of the early 2000s. Schoolgirls fused with the genes of endangered animals defend their city from invaders who believe the planet is rightfully theirs. In English-speaking countries many viewers met the series as Mew Mew Power, a heavily reworked dub that renamed nearly the whole cast. This quiz covers both versions. Expect questions on the heroines and the animals behind their powers, the trio of alien rivals and their leader, the dub's new names, and the people who made the manga and the anime. Later rounds reach the sequel, the spin-offs, the video games and the 2022 reboot. It suits anyone who grew up with the Saturday-morning dub as much as readers of the original manga. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so even a wrong guess teaches you something about the series.
