Wow! I was expecting some development for the upcoming power up episode and we got the three recurring generals literally beaten the girls to make them retreat out of the alien planet.
What happened really? Well, for starters, after Hikaru want to see the Southern Cross constellation after hearing it was Futaroru's favourite constellation. She dragged everyone into the spaceship despite Madoka's advice that her father is still searching for them after their previous blast-off.
But Hikaru insisted on going and also learn the location of the Aries Star Princess Pen which is on Planet Bearine. They met with a local native, Coumu who offered to take them around. But the girls have problems moving around due to the planet's heavy gravity pull.
Along the way, the Knot Raiders' three generals arrived but this time, they were given a power boost which was granted by their Mysterious Master. It kinda of make sense since the generals were defeated 10 times already due to the Star Princesses power.
The girls tried to fight them off but they were faster and stronger. As a result, Aiwan found the Aries Star Princess Pen and corrupted it. Cure Star tried to use the Taurus pen but Kappard snatched it before she could use it. (At least somebody got the intintive and interuppted an attack before it can be deployed)
Fuwa distracted the generals long enough for Lala to call out her spaceship and everyone escaped in time. The three generals now set their eyes on Earth to claim the remaining three Star pens. Hikaru then realised it was her fault that she got too confident and losing the pen.
But things are about to get worse as the spaceship crash landed back on Earth where Madoka's father is nearby and he is rushing to the scene...
I felt this is a wake up call for Hikaru as she has to learn that being a Precure has responsibities. (Sound similar to the recently Shazam movie where Billy Batson has to learn the hard way of being a hero) Sure, she got all high handed and insisted that everyone to follow her in her quest and it got them all defeated. Precures are strong but they are not invincible. Like how Hana from last season has to overcome her lack of confidence and it got Hug-Tan in a coma, Hikaru need to understand there is a time for fun and a time for action. (plus responsibity)
Furthermore, the Knot Raiders are not going to let this lying down. The three generals were given a power boost and they totally overwhelmed the girls in battle. I am kinda of intriguted that Kappard make a comment that Earth is a paradise compared what he has been through which might give him a hint of why he is so bitter and serving the Knot Raiders with no doubt.
Overall, a great first part and seeing the girls are on the run from both Madoka's father and the Knot Raiders. Can the girls especially Hikaru overcome their first serious challenge? Until then, see you in the next post!
