We found out that Prunce is a big fan of Super Idol Singer Mao-Chan and she is an accompanying guest to a rich alien dragon named Drums and Mao was kind to the girls including Fuwa.
The girls were invited to an auction where various priceless items were sold off and the final item is the Sagittarius Princess Star Key! Drums immediately bid at a high price and the girls were out of their game until Madoka came up with an ingenious solution!
She used Prunce's Star Donuts (which he bought it for Mao) as value and even an alien gourmet expert claimed that each donuts is worth a billion after tasting it. The girls bid with all the donuts they have and Drums gave up the bid after seeing Madoka's determination. (A trick she learn from her father who used similar tactics while auctioning)
However the Sagittarius key went missing and the girls track it to Mao who revealed herself to be the Phantom Thief Blue Cat! Everyone was surprised especially Prunce who was disappointed about his idol.
Aiwan also appeared and has already turned Drums into a Knot Trigger. Blue Cat even called out Aiwan and knew the girls' secret identifies as Precure. The girls went to battle and Cure Selene tried to stop Blue Cat.
Blue Cat realised how dangerous the Knot Trigger was and reluctantly handover the Sagittarius Key to Cure Selene which she used it to weaken the Knot Trigger.
After the girls defeated the Knot Trigger, Fuwa revived the Sagittarius Princess while Blue Cat has already stolen all the items that Drums won from the auction.
The girls left the planet with the Sagittarius key while Prunce started to stuff himself with donuts after knowing Mao is Blue Cat...
We are now introduced to this mysterious thief Blue Cat voiced by Uesaka Sumire (best known as Kana "Oni" Kojima in the current Spring show-Why are you here, Sensei and voiced several Russian characters like Anya from Idolmaster Cinderella Girls and Nonna from Girls und Panzer). Rumours has suspected that she will be the "Sixth Precure" to Team Star Twinkle as Cure Cosmos. Her appearance as Blue Cat has also raised some questions since she already know who Aiwan and the Precures are. So there could be more to her beside a common thief. Funny that last year we have Lupinranger vs Patoranger and Toei could have done some collaboration but they missed the opportunity.
Prunce was pretty disappointed that his idol, Mao is Blue Cat as he explained that Mao's songs gave him strength to move on while he was on the run with Fuwa before meeting Lala. I love how Madoka was able to win the bid with Drums since she tag along with her father in his auction bid and know the tactics to win. (With the power of Star Donuts of course!)
If there is one thing I have with this episode is probably the reveal of Mao as Blue Cat too soon. I will rather have some build up like a real Phantom Thief as the girls tried to unravel who Blue Cat is in upcoming episodes. But I am guessing they want the girls to have some early interactions with Blue Cat (like how Team Huggto interact with Ruru before she change sides) until her true intentions is revealed since she is also after the Star Princess Keys. Since Madoka was the first one to interact with Blue Cat in this episode, the rest of the girls will probably get their chance soon.
Next episode, it is another Madoka episode as she is competing in her archery competition but a rival of hers is determined to win her. Until then, see you in the next post!
P.S: My thoughts of Episode 14 was Touma is very lucky to have a loving parents. He should see how Emiru's family behaved despite their status. Her parents are living in their own world even to the end of the series and her grandfather is still as stubborn as ever. Touma should count himself lucky since his parents expressed their love very openly like a lot of western families do and shouldn't be down by peer pressure.
episode 17 seems to be also about blue cat so maybe the outher girls will interact with her and not only madoka
