Burn up! It's Hot-Blooded Cure Sunny!! (燃えろ!熱血キュアサニーやで!! Moero! Nekketsu Kyua Sanī ya de!!?) is the 2nd episode of Smile Pretty Cure!, the 2nd episode of Glitter Force, and the 391st episode of the Pretty Cure franchise overall. This episode shows Hino Akane's first transformation into Cure Sunny. The English title from Glitter Force is "Kelsey Gets A Makeover".

Synopsis[]

Convinced that Akane would make a good Pretty Cure, Miyuki sets out and tries to get her to join. Akane refuses in order to focus on volleyball but soon hits a slump.

Summary[]

After her transformation into Cure Happy, Miyuki is now officially a Pretty Cure. Candy tells her that there are a total of five Cures, causing Miyuki to fall backwards and hit her head from excitement. With that she decides to begin searching for the rest of her team.

At home, Candy teaches Miyuki more about Märchenland. But she soon feels hungry, and with the aid of the Cure Decor they obtained earlier, a large strawberry appears for her to munch on.

During gym class, Miyuki is accidentally hit in the face with a volleyball, and is helped up by the kind-hearted Kise Yayoi and star volleyball player Hino Akane. Later at lunch, she invites them to become Pretty Cure. Candy interrupts and takes Miyuki aside, explaining that Pretty Cure are secret, and not just anyone can be one. However, Candy admits she does not actually know the criteria which qualify someone to become a Pretty Cure.

Akane and Yayoi follow Miyuki. Akane mistaking Candy for a sheep plushie. Akane turns down Miyuki's invitation to become a Pretty Cure, since she wants to focus on becoming the volleyball club's ace attacker.

Later, Miyuki shows up to cheer for Akane at volleyball club practice, but Akane appears to be doing poorly. Two other girls doubt whether Akane is the club ace, one suggesting that another girl named Yuka is the ace. Miyuki is troubled to see how frustrated Akane is at her performance.

On the way home from school, Miyuki sees Akane working hard practicing underneath the railway bridge. Believing that Akane is crying, Miyuki rushes to her side to encourage her to "Smile! Smile!" Akane insists that she isn't crying at all, and what Miyuki thought were tears were actually just drops of sweat. Miyuki offers to help her train anyway.

At the next volleyball practice, Miyuki shows up to support Akane again. Akane is doing much better this time, dealing powerful serves against her rival Yuka's team. Just then, Wolfrun appears to collect Bad Energy as before, causing everyone to fall into despair. Even Akane is affected, and Wolfrun taunts her for having hopes and dreams.

Miyuki steps in to defend Akane and transforms into Cure Happy. Wolfrun summons a giant volleyball Akanbe. Cure Happy fights it, but misses with Happy Shower, and a second Happy Shower fails to take effect. The Akanbe picks her up, but Happy refuses to cry, insisting "Smile! Smile!"

Akane remembers Miyuki's words and snaps out of despair, recognizing Miyuki as Cure Happy. Wolfrun and Happy debate the importance of friendship. Wolfrun believes that friendship and hard work are irrelevant and relying on others is a weakness, but Happy argues that friends make happy times better and help in tough times. Happy's words inspire Akane to try to fight the Akanbe to protect her friend. Her resolve awakens something and she gains her own Smile Pact, using it to transform into Cure Sunny.

Sunny throws the Akanbe with superhuman strength. She finishes off the Akanbe with Sunny Fire, recovering another Cure Decor, the Rose Decor. Wolfrun disappears and everything returns to normal. Miyuki is "ultra happy" that Akane has become a Pretty Cure, and Akane is glad that they can consider each other friends. Candy believes that caring for friends may qualify someone to become a Pretty Cure.

Trivia[]

  • Two songs from the Heartcatch Pretty Cure! soundtrack are played during this episode. The first is Chypre and Coffret, track 9 on Heartcatch OST 1, which plays when Candy is eating a giant strawberry summoned by the Smile Pact. The second is the cheer song, played when Akane plays volleyball.
  • Akane mistakenly calls Pretty Cure "kiripura" when rejecting Miyuki's offer, and later as "kyuapuri" just before she transforms.
  • This episode coincidentally aired on Tano Asami (the voice actress for Cure Sunny)'s birthday.
  • The Japanese episode title ends with "ya de", a sentence ending used in Osaka dialect. Cure Sunny uses this dialect.
  • This is the second episode in a row where Miyuki gets hit in the face.
  • The scene where Cure Happy lands on a wall and looks up is an homage to a similar move appearing in Futari wa Pretty Cure.

Edits in Glitter Force[]

  • When Emily and Candy bow to each other, the dub explains it as a traditional greeting in Jubiland (Märchenland). In the original, they bow because it's a custom greeting in Japan.
  • Yuka, Akane's rival in volleyball, is renamed Jasmine.
  • Glitter Sunny calls her attack Fire Spike instead of Sparkle Fire. This doesn't happen again.
