Synopsis
With Dark Cure's appearance, Hanasaki Tsubomi has lost all her confidence. For now, defeating Dark Cure is certainly impossible. To get stronger, Tsubomi gets the idea of training under her classmate, Sakai Masato, who calls himself a "kung-fu master". Then his nine-year-old younger brother Sakai Yoshito appears, saying "I'm his only apprentice!". Tsubomi becomes his second apprentice and starts learning kung fu with Yoshito. However, Masato has to rush to judo lessons at the same time. There, he tells Yoshito and Tsubomi that he cannot do kung fu. Yoshito is dejected at seeing his miserable older brother. Kumojaki approaches him, steals his blackening Heart Flower and throws it at Yoshito's nunchaku. The whole humanoid nunchaku Desetrian starts wreaking havoc, and Tsubomi and Erika both come together and transform into Pretty Cure. But it is a very hard fight with the Desertrian swinging its nunchaku around. Meanwhile, Masato tries to face the Snackey to save Yoshito. Moved by their brotherly bond, Cure Blossom takes on a kung-fu pose.
