"A big trip around the world through book doors!!" (本の扉で世界一周大旅行!! Hon no tobira de sekai isshū dairyokō!!?) is the 30th episode of Smile Pretty Cure!, the 25th episode of Glitter Force, and also the 419th episode of the Pretty Cure franchise overall. The English title is "Around The World in Eighty Books".

Synopsis[]

The girls travel the world using the mysterious library but find themselves in trouble after a Super Akanbe swallows Candy and the Decor Décor.

Summary[]

At the secret base, the girls regret that none of them were able to go overseas during the summer break. Miyuki remembers that they have the ability to travel anywhere in the world using bookshelves.

Miyuki wishes to visit a real castle, Nao wants to run through the steppes of Mongolia and eat foods from around the world, Akane wants to sample Taiwanese food, Reika wants to visit the Great Wall of China, and Yayoi wants to visit the Statue of Liberty. With that, they set off on a trip around the world.

The girls' first stop is the Palace of Versailles in Paris, where Nao eats macarons and they use the Dress Decor to give Candy a Marie Antoinette-style dress.

Next they arrive in Jiufen, in the Ruifang District of New Taipei City near Keelung, Taiwan. There are markets, stores and cafés and great food. They eat noodles (with Nao eating several bowls) and drink goat milk, and Candy dresses up in a cheongsam.

Next, they arrive in a small nomadic village in Mongolia, where Nao dribbles a soccer ball across the steppes. The nomads move their little yurts depending on the weather, seasons and harvesting to better farmlands every year. Reika tells everybody that many domestic animals are found in this area and they go to play in the grassland, with Candy dressing up like a goat for the photo.

They move on to see the Great Wall of China. Reika starts to explain the landmarks history, but no one pays to her attention and she soon gives up and suggests the girls to climb up the wall to see the spectacular view. Akane points out it would be easier to climb the lower path but Reika declines. Nao somehow buys a meat skewer.

Finally, they see the Statue of Liberty in New York, where Nao eats a giant hot dog. Yayoi reveals that she wanted to visit the Statue of Liberty because it appeared in Taiyouman, and pulls off some of the moves, to the amusement of nearby tourists. andy dresses as the Statue of Liberty holding an ice cream and they take another photo.

They visit other places: the Sphinx and Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, the city of of London, and Easter Island. They take a photo in each place and Nao samples the local cuisine.

Meanwhile, at the Bad End Kingdom, Joker asks Akaoni to count the number of times he's attempted and failed to defeat the Pretty Cure. Akaoni counts on his fingers, but runs out of fingers. He warns Akaoni that Emperor Pierrot is getting impatient due to his constant failure, which convinces the ogre to go defeat the Pretty Cures and snatch the Decor Décor.

Finally, the girls sail the Amazon river, seeing the local wildlife. Just as they take one last photo, Akaoni appears. He summons Bad End Space and sucks Bad Energy from the local wildlife, and uses a Big Red Nose to turn a piranha into a Super Akanbe. The girls transform to fight it, aware that victory should grant the last pair of Decors they need.

The Pretty Cures fight the Akanbe, but it slaps the girls away and swallows Candy and the Decor Décor. They try to fight in the water, but the water impedes their movement. From inside the Akanbe, Candy uses the Dolphin Decor to empower the girls with mermaid tails, which also lets them breathe and speak underwater.

Cure Sunny tries to use Sunny Fire but it gets extinguished. When Cure Peace uses Peace Thunder, everyone gets an electric shock, including the Super Akanbe. Candy escapes and the girls force the Super Akanbe to the surface. They transform into Princess Form and defeat the Super Akanbe with Rainbow Burst, gaining the last two decors.

Back in the Bad End Kingdom, Joker learns that the girls have acquired all the Cure Decor. However, he is not worried, and holds in his hand a mysterious black orb.

The girls return home and place the last two decors in the Decor Décor, eager to revive the Royale Queen. Instead, a strange looking clock appears.
