"Summer! The Sea! Akane and Nao's Stubborn Showdown!!" (夏だ!海だ!あかねとなおの意地っ張り対決!! Natsu da! Umi da! Akane to Nao no ijippari taiketsu!!?) is the 25th episode of Smile Pretty Cure!, the 22nd episode of Glitter Force, and also the 414th episode of the Pretty Cure franchise overall. The English title is "Battle on the Beach".

Synopsis[]

The girls get competitive on the beach when Nao's shaved ice stand goes against Akane's Okonomiyaki stand. After Miyuki and Reika get roped into it, things soon worsen when their rivalries get the better of them and they are unable to work together where it matters most.

Summary[]

It is the beginning of summer holiday. Just as Miyuki laments that she doesn't have anything to do, she receives a phonecall from Akane, who invites her to the beach. Unfortunately, Akaoni also sees the beach on television and decides to work on his tan.

When Miyuki arrives at the beach, she finds that Akane invited her to help at the family's okonomiyaki stand. Nao is running a competing shaved ice stand, with Reika helping her. Yayoi coincidentally shows up to paint the ocean for her art homework.

Nao and Reika make a sandcastle

Akane and Nao become highly competitive, arguing over who had the most customers. They even compete on their break: volleyball, soccer, watermelon eating, sandcastle building, and mussel catching. Meanwhile, Yayoi plays peacefully with Candy.

Akaoni arrives on the beach with a surfboard. When he sees how many people are there, he decides to create a Bad End Space, sucking Bad End energy out of the people to make a shaved ice into a Super Akanbe. The girls quickly transform ot battle it.

Cure March tries to defeat the Akanbe by herself using her speed, and Cure Sunny with her strength, but they only get each other's way. Happy, Peace, and Beauty move into protect them, but are absorbed into the Akanbe. The Akanbe creates a powerful blizzard, and Sunny and March doubt they have the individual strength to defeat it.

Realizing they must put their differences aside, Sunny and March team up and hold hands. Their powers combine and begin to melt the ice. Working together, the two defeat the Akanbe with a combination attack and punch through, freeing the other three. The five use Princess Form to defeat the Super Akanbe, receiving two new decors. Akaoni retreats, but he's still happy because he achieved his goal of getting a tan.

The girls eat okonomiyaki and snow cones together, suggesting that they form a perfect combination. Miyuki looks forward to the rest of her summer vacation.

Trivia[]

  • In this episode, Full Bloom*Smile! replaces Yay! Yay! Yay! as the new ending sequence.
  • The episode title begins with "Natsu da! Umi da!", just like episode 26 of KiraKira☆Pretty Cure A La Mode.
  • The sentai character seen on Yayoi's alarm clock in episode 10 briefly appears on Akaoni's television set at the beginning of the episode.
  • This is the second episode where some of the Cures ended up trapped inside an Akanbe. The first was with Cure Happy and Cure Peace in episode 14.
  • This is the eighth episode where Miyuki is hit in the face with an object: previously with Candy, a volleyball, a soccer ball, Pop's book, a mallet, an ice cream, Pop's book again, and now a ball.
  • In Glitter Force, this is the first time the Japanese food okonomiyaki is called by its Japanese name instead of being given a English name.
  • Originally, the episode was intended to feature suica wari, a Japanese beach game where players are blindfolded and have to try to break the watermelon with a stick. The event was ultimately removed from the script at the request of a producer, due to fears that it may upset the families of blind children. In the final episode, Akane's mother slices up a watermelon for the girls to eat.[1]
