Flames of Hope! Her Name is Cure Scarlet!! (希望の炎!その名はキュアスカーレット!! Kibō no Honō! Sono Na wa Kyua Sukāretto!!?) is the 22nd episode of Go! Princess Pretty Cure and is the 557th episode of the Pretty Cure franchise overall.

Summary[]

Towa has been freed of Dyspear's control, but still feels guilt about her actions. Wanting to bring her back to her side, Dyspear captures Towa and uses her despair to make herself stronger, and the Cures must rescue her before it's too late.

Synopsis[]

Yui excitedly sees the girls approach her until noticing a strange girl in Haruka's arms. As they explain it's Twilight she expresses shock, but the girls are too exhausted from their efforts and the fight and just want to return home. They offer to tell her everything later and head inside to rest.

That evening, Haruka sadly stares at her violin and thinks about Kanata. She prays for his safety.

As this is going on, Towa dreams of the past, when she was upset over her mistakes. Kanata assured her it was okay because to become a good Princess, one should remember to take their time and be patient. She keeps this in mind, but wanting to play with him more than anything she asks that they try again. He agrees, but when she goes to play she suddenly sees herself as Twilight again.

Towa awakens as it dawns on her what happened and she notices the daylight outside. She finds to find her changed keys and the Perfume next to her, then she gets up to head outside. She takes a walk through the forest and thinks about her big brother, only to hear someone playing the violin.

She follows the music to find Haruka near several flowers and asks how she knows the song, and Haruka explains that it was Miss Shamour who taught her. Towa finds herself feeling sad as she thinks about her brother again and Haruka recalls that she has his violin. He left it to them before what happened, and she asks Towa if she would like to play with her. She assures Haruka that she doesn't, and just then the land begins to darken, with them unaware of Dyspear's presence until she shows up. She speaks to Towa, telling her it isn't that easy for her to run away and demands that she returns to her. Towa refuses, but she attempts to weaken her resolve by reminding her of what she wears and what she did, so now she must live with it. Towa becomes despondent as Dyspear brings up Kanata and tries convincing her that it's too late to change what she did. Towa tries to fight her off and resist, rejecting her ideals and running away.

Dyspear uses her vines to grab Kanata's violin and attack the girls. Haruka grabs her own violin and makes a run for it as various students, now aware that something is wrong run outside to find the growing vines and large gusts of wind covering the darkened land. They are frozen from the wave of energy, but Haruka is able to fight it off, along with Kirara and Minami, Pafu, and Aroma. They are shocked to find Dyspear and are unable to see Towa any further, worried that something happened to her. Dyspear reveals that without her despair, she was useless to her and begins to attack the Cures.

They transform and attack Dyspear, who sends out several shadow vines out towards them. Within the cage she has been locked, Towa finds herself growing weaker and hopeless.

The Pretty Cure find themselves weakened and on the ground, realizing Dyspear has powered up with Towa's despair. They are left with no solutions- but Flora, dedicated to saving Towa rises and suddenly gets an idea. She recalls what happened when Kanata played his violin, so she takes her own and with support from Mermaid and Twinkle, they run towards the large tangled vines Dyspear formed and Flora dives deep into them to find the large plant-like cage Towa is trapped within. Mermaid and Twinkle stay outside to keep Dyspear from trying to attack her and before Towa, Flora prepares to play her violin. Towa tells her not to bother because she doesn't want to hear it. It reminds her of her sinful past, but Flora refuses, telling her it isn't too late to change what she did. She assures Towa that if she continues to wish, her dreams will come true; this is something she learned from Kanata. Towa slowly begins to listen and Flora tells her they can move forward together for their dreams, and for his sake.

Suddenly, a tremor from outside knocks Kanata's violin loose from the vines and it falls before Towa. Mermaid and Twinkle continue to fight from outside, struggling to keep Dyspear at bay.

The beautiful melody Flora releases by playing her violin slowly assures Towa that she will be okay. Flora's further reassurance causes her to pick up Kanata's violin and Flora stares in awe as Dyspear begins hearing the music from the vines. Towa continues to play, finding herself at ease as Flora joins her. Together they play, creating a beautiful melody as Mermaid and Twinkle realize Dyspear is weakening.

Towa recalls another past memory with Kanata, reassuring her about what was important as a Grand Princess. In this, the vines burst open to free the girls and a bright light shines around them. They continue playing together, with everyone watching until they conclude, and Dyspear asks Towa how she was able to surpass her despair. Towa boldly states that she refuses to fall for her tricks any longer; her sins may not disappear but if she continues to wish then she will live with them and use this to become the Grand Princess she dreamed of.

Enveloped by several flames, Towa falls to the ground and grabs the Princess Perfume, and upon landing she transforms into Cure Scarlet. Everyone stares in shock as they see Towa has become a Pretty Cure and she easily withstands Dyspear's attacks with her new abilities. With grace and agility, she stands before her, telling her that she will fight Dyspear until the end to bring the Hope Kingdom back to what it once was. She then prepares her attack, with Kanata's violin changing forms into her weapon, the Scarlet Violin. She then changes into Mode Elegant to use Phoenix Blaze.

As it passes, Scarlet looks around to see Dyspear has fled. She knows that this is only temporary, but tells the group that through the violin she is sure Kanata is alive and well. She also assures them that they will see him again.

Trivia[]

  • Beginning with this episode, Prince Kanata disappears from part of the opening, reflecting his current status as missing in action. Previously, the shot of Kanata's first meeting Haruka is followed by a shot of the pair as they appear today. Since Kanata is now gone, the second shot now depicts Haruka standing alone.
  • Towa approaching Haruka as she plays violin upon a hill parallels the scene in episode 13 where Haruka approaches Twilight the same way. In that episode, Haruka approaches Twilight by moving through a dark forest; in this episode, Towa approaches Haruka by moving through flowers.
  • Towa appears to hesitate for a few seconds before beginning to play her violin piece. In fact, she is playing correctly here - the piece begins with a "rest", an intentional gap in a piece of music where no notes are played.
  • This is the first time that Trinity Explosion had failed, judging from the first scene after the eyecatch.
  • Only Cure Mermaid and Cure Twinkle used all of their attacks while Cure Flora only used Lys Tourbillon.
  • Only Towa's transformation is shown in this episode.
