"Me, a comic artist!? Yayoi's illustrated future dreams!!" (私がマンガ家!?やよいが描く将来の夢!! Watashi ga mangaka!? Yayoi ga kaku shōrai no yume!!)? is the 41st episode of Smile Pretty Cure! and is the 430th episode of the Pretty Cure franchise overall.

In the English dub, Glitter Force, it is called "Goldenlight!" and is the 33rd episode.

Summary

Yayoi shoots for her dreams and enters "Miracle Peace" into a Comic Convention. But she finds herself overwhelmed and unable to focus on anything else in her attempt to make it perfect.

Major Events

Synopsis

Yayoi has always loved to draw, but she had always been too shy to show others her artwork. She is sketching her original characters when Miyuki asks to see her drawing. She's embarrassed and hides it at first, but when she shows it, her friends praise her art, saying she could be a professional manga artist.

Classmate Inoue Seiji suggests that Yayoi enter a manga contest for new authors. Yayoi surprises by entering. Looking at her sketchbook for ideas, she decides to draw her own original character. Her character seems to be cheering her on.

At school the next day, she has only completed the cover of her manga, Miracle Peace. At home, she draws late into the night, but only produces another two pages. She begins to doubt her ability to reach the deadline. Her friends offer to help, but she insists on overcoming the challenge by herself, because she thinks that's what her character Miracle Peace would do.

Yayoi reveals that Miracle Peace is a character she created as a child. Yayoi was a crybaby even back then, and created a strong and cool character who had the virtues she admired. Miracle Peace is Yayoi's idealized version of herself.

Meanwhile, in the Bad End Kingdom, Joker gives Akaoni one final chance to defeat Cure Peace. He heads to the human world, determined to get the job done.

Yayoi works late into the night on her manga. She finds herself walking through the forest near her house when she is surprised to meet her own character, Miracle Peace, and the villain from her work. The villain taunts Yayoi, doubting her ability to finish her manga and expecting her to give up like she always does. He fires a dark beam at Yayoi, but suddenly Miracle Peace steps in front to protect her, deflecting the beam. The villain claims Miracle Peace is powerless, since she's just a fictional character.

Suddenly, Yayoi jolts awake, realizing that it was a dream. Unfortunately, she spills ink all over her manuscript and begins crying. She thinks how the villain in her dream doubted her ability to become a manga artist, and how her friends had such high hopes. Yayoi tries to throw the manuscript in the trash, but her trashcan is already filled with failed attempts.

She runs outside with the manuscript, where she meets her friends, who came to bring her snacks. She apologizes for failing letting them down and runs off to the nearby park. She is about to throw her manuscript in the trash when Akaoni appears, creating a Bad End Space and drawing despair out of the people in the park.

Akaoni steals Yayoi's manga. Even though Yayoi was going to throw it out, she demands that Akaoni return it. She doubts she can beat Akaoni alone, but, after asking herself what Miracle Peace would do in this situation, she takes out her Smile Pact and transforms. Akaoni creates a Hyper Akanbe from Yayoi's manga, taking the form of Miracle Peace's enemy.

Akaoni easily knocks Cure Peace down with brute strength, and taunts her fictional character. Cure Peace defends Miracle Peace her as someone she looks up to, but Akaoni finds it absurd for someone to look up to their own fictional creation. He fires a dark bolt at Peace, just as the villain did in her dream. This time Cure Peace stands up and deflects it.

Cure Peace insists that she's going to complete the manga, but Akaoni calls her a weakling. Peace admits he may be right, but that's why she created Miracle Peace in the first place. Akaoni argues that Miracle Peace isn't real, but Cure Peace disagrees—Miracle Peace really does exist, as the little bit of strength deep in her heart. She pledges never to give up as long as her passion for drawing exists.

A new Decor appears in Cure Peace's Smile Pact, and a bolt of yellow lightning surrounds her. A glowing Cure Peace now finds herself more than a match for the Hyper Akanbe, knocking him to the ground. She overwhelms him with her new power, Peace Thunder Hurricane.

Peace demands her manga back, but Akaoni is on his last chance, and can't give up. He attacks, but just then, the other Cures appear to protect her. They change into their Princess Form to defeat him with Royal Rainbow Burst and gain a new Cure Decor.

Akaoni vanishes. Yayoi thanks her friends, and with newfound determination promises to finish her manga.

A few days later, the girls congratulate Yayoi on completing her manuscript. Her classmates are impressed. Yayoi looks back at her manga, and Miracle Peace seems to give her a wink.

Trivia

  • The drawing that Yayoi draws at the beginning of the episode is the same one she is seen drawing in the opening. She is also embarrassed for others to see her drawing, just like in the opening, but in the episode she is in class rather than outside.
  • Several aspects of this episode are a reprise of episode 3. In both episodes, Yayoi is embarrassed to be seen drawing her original characters, is encouraged to enter a drawing competition in which she wins an honorable mention, she grabs her art and runs away, and Akaoni taunts Yayoi's drawing and creates an Akanbe from her drawing.
  • The manga anthology Yayoi submits her comic to is called Weekly Shounen Smile.
  • Yayoi starts out her manga drawing process by holding an ink pen. However, she has yet to draw the pencil art. Normally, a manga artist would draw in pencil, then ink over the pencil, and finally erase the pencil lines with an eraser.
  • The characters on Yayoi's calendar appear to be from a Super Sentai series. The calendar appears to be open to November 2012, with what is presumably the deadline circled for November 30. Since the crossed-out dates begin with the 16th, she presumably began working on the manga on that date, two weeks before the deadline. By Sunday, November 25, when she spills ink on her work, she has produced around 16 pages, though she has not finished inking them. Despite her setback, she is successfully able to complete the work by the deadline.
  • This episode has the last appearance of the regular Cure Peace eyecatch.
  • According to episode director Sakai Munehisa, Miracle Peace was voiced by Kanemoto Hisako, the same voice actress that voices Yayoi, while her opponent was voiced by Sasaki Hiroo, who voiced the Akanbe.[1]
  • The Smile Pretty Cure! novel depicts a future in which Yayoi's manga Miracle Peace is picked up by a publisher and serialized in a Weekly Shounen Smile magazine. She drops out of high school to work on the series full time, and it becomes enormously successful, running for seven years and receiving a television anime.

Edits in Glitter Force
