Summary[]

DDPC23

Regina getting purified by, Ace Shot.

Regina attacks Cure Ace, who dodges with ease and performs Ace Shot to purify her. She attempts to stay low due to her injuries and Mana attempts to approach her, but before Bel comes to take her away she sees Mana before angrily telling her off, saying this is her fault. 

Shocked by this, Mana begins to cry and Cure Ace approaches her to take away her Cure Lovead. She tells Mana that she will only return it after she learns not to cry over things like this, leaving Mana confused and hopeless.

Meanwhile, at the Former Trump Kingdom, the King Jikochuu heals Regina, and calls out his two other members, Gula, and Leva. The Selfish King told them to attack the Cures and they leave, angering Bel as he watches this.

Mana holding Ai.

In town, everyone is preparing to leave for home, with Rikka and Makoto lending a hand. Alone in her room, Mana is still feeling sad over Regina when Sharuru approaches and offers her some cake. This does nothing to make her feel better, but suddenly her mother arrives with Ai-chan. She told her to take care of her for a while, and this eases Mana's mood. She uses an Instrument Lovead for Ai-chan to play with.

Afterwards they head outside to see how several people surrounding them are happy. As they walk Mana is sure she sees Regina and begins chasing after her, but she is disappointed to see it isn't her. Instead she runs into a strange girl who warns Mana to be careful.

Leva and Gula appear.

Meanwhile, Makoto was busy signing autographs and she soon stops when she sees the time. But this causes two young men to feel saddened as they were unable to get her signature. Suddenly, Leva and Gula showed up and summon two Jikochuus.

Makoto, Rikka, and Alice transform into Pretty Cure and they start fighting- but the Jikochu provide to be too much trouble for just the three of them. Leva uses his hat to interfere and give them further trouble, while Gula brings up his own desire to eat the Cures. Without Mana helping them, the group is easily defeated.

Cure Heart and Cure Ace pair up.

Mana, hearing this quickly comes to their aid, promising to defend them even if she is unable to transform anymore. She uses an umbrella to stop the ink spray attacking them when she spots the mysterious girl again. The girl returns her Lovead and while confused, Mana wastes no time to transform into Cure Heart as the girl changes into Cure Ace. Together they team up and attack the two sets of duo.

Cure Ace performs Ace Shot, and Cure Heart performs Heart Shoot to purify the Jikochu and return things to normal.
