"Pierrot revived! Pretty Cure in a desperate situation!!" (ピエーロ復活!プリキュア絶体絶命!! Piēro fukkatsu! Purikyua zettai zetsumei!!?) is the 23rd episode of Smile Pretty Cure!, the 20th episode of Glitter Force, and also the 412th episode of the Pretty Cure franchise overall. In this episode, the girls and Pop battle the Bad End Kingdom villains to save Candy and stop Pierrot's revival. The English title is "Into the Shadow Realm!".

Synopsis[]

The Cures depart for Bad End Kingdom and are confronted by the stronger Bad End Trio. Overwhelmed, the Cures keep faith in each other and overcome the hardships set before them. But when Emperor Pierrot is revived, will their power be enough to stop him?

Summary[]

Bdadtrio

The Bad End trio

As the full moon turns red, the way opens from Märchenland to the Bad End Kingdom. With the help of Pop, who has transformed into a large bird, the girls arrive near a castle, where the Bad End Generals Wolfrun, Akaoni, and Majorina are waiting for them. They reveal Candy's location, but the Pretty Cures will have to fight them first.

The Pretty Cures transform and devise a plan: Cure Happy will go to rescue Candy while the others take care of the Bad End Generals. Happy makes them promise to leave nobody behind.

Younger Majorina

The Bad End Generals attack. Pop throws down smoke bombs as a distraction, allowing Happy to break off and go for Candy. Sunny takes on Wolfrun, Peace goes against Akaoni, and March fights Majorina. Joker tries to stop Happy, but Beauty keeps him busy.

The four villains chant the Bad End spell together, which appears to make them stronger, and Majorina uses magic to make herself appear younger. The battle divides into four epic duels, with Pop aiding Beauty.

Cure Happy defeated

Cure Happy finds herself running down hill so steel that she can't stop. She nearly falls into lava at the bottom, but jumps high, and her yells alert Candy that she's here. Happy falls, but shoots a Happy Shower down to blast herself upward. Happy lands safely near Candy and spots the Decor Décor, but it turns into a yellow-nosed Akanbe and smashes her into the ground.

Meanwhile, the others struggle to fight their opponents, and appear to be defeated. When the villains head for Cure Happy, the others struggle to their feet and refuse to abandon their friends. The Bad End Generals taunt them for their attachment to friendship, but the Pretty Cures defend the importance of friendship and only strengthen their resolve. In unison, the Cures yell their motto—Shine bright, Smile Pretty Cure!—and find themselves empowered with new strength.

The Bad End Generals raise their power too, but the Pretty Cures defeat their opponents with their finishing moves. Cure Happy defeats the yellow nose Akanbe with Happy Shower and rescues Candy and the Decor Décor, returning to the others.

They place the Star Decor in the Decor Décor, expecting Royale Queen to appear, but nothing happens. Emperor Pierrot rises from the lava and readies a Bad Energy Cannon, a blast capable of destroying an entire planet. Pop turns into a bird again and escapes with Candy, and Pretty Cure use Rainbow Healing against Pierrot. Unfortunately, it is powerless against him, and Pierrot's attack easily overwhelms the Pretty Cure.

The Cures summon pegasus

Candy cries out that the Pretty Cure will never be defeated, and Cure Happy agrees. Her determination causes the Decor Décor to shine brightly, and they hear the voice of Royale Queen. She gives them the power of the pegasi, taking the form of the Princess Candles and the Princess Cure Decors, which enable the Cures to transform into Princess Form. They use Rainbow Burst for the first time and it quickly defeats Pierrot. However, Pierrot has not been killed, but merely reverts to a spiky egg form.

The Cures meet up with Pop and Candy, and she is overjoyed to be re-united with her friends.

Trivia[]

  • This episode is a lot like episode 26 of Futari wa Pretty Cure. Both episodes take place roughly halfway through their respective series. Both episodes feature the heroines traveling from the "good" magical world (Garden of Light, Märchenland) to the "bad" one (Dotsuku Zone, Bad End Kingdom) to recover something that was taken from them (the Prism Stones, Candy and the Cure Decors), suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of the main villain (Evil King, Pierrot), then making a comeback with never-before-seen power (the Queen's power, Princess Form) and winning a decisive victory, apparently ending with the main villain and his underlings wiped out and the series plot resolved. In both cases, the next episode will reveal that things aren't quite as over as they appeared to be.
  • Like the previous episode, Cure Happy uses Happy Shower twice, even though she was previously only able to use this attack once per transformation.
  • The Princess Candle was released by Bandai as a toy in July 2012, around the time this episode first aired. It sold for 5,280 yen, or about 53 US dollars.

Edits in Glitter Force[]
