Anyway, long story short. Darknest had enough of playing around and once the girls have obtained the Twinkle Imagination and reported to the Star Princesses, the Knot Raiders started attacking the Star Palace and the three generals including the foot soldiers are wearing power suits and their mind being controlled by Darknest.
The girls went to defend the Star Palace and at first, they were shocked by the three generals' new powers but their Twinkle Imagination managed to hold them off together with the Galactic Starscape Alliance ships.
Everyone was fighting each other until Cure Star went to the middle of the battlefield to halt everyone. She tried to convince that the universe belongs to everyone and not one person alone. However Darknest had enough of her preaching and revealed her real identify- The Ophiuchus Princess!
The Taurus Princess explained that Ophiuchus was one of them who created the universe together however she left the Star Palace and now Ophiuchus felt the universe was filled with weak and twisted imaginations as such she want to cover the universe in darkness to restart it all over again. She even claimed responsibility for the all generals' misfortunes which anger them.
But Ophiuchus used her powers to make the generals and foot soldiers to submit to her and used their powers to destroy the barrier surrounding the Star Palace. The barrier was broke and the girls tried their best to hold them off. Even Aiwan joined in to help as a temporary truce.
Ophiuchus arrived at the palace and bind all the Star Princesses. The girls surrounded Fuwa since she is who Ophiuchus is after and saw the three generals blinded with rage. The girls purified the three generals and even the foot soldiers with Star Twinkle Imagination.
Ophiuchus took this chance to capture Fuwa and create a black hole to suck the Star Palace in. Everyone including the girls, Aiwan and the generals escaped in time but failed to save Fuwa who Ophiuchus have her now.
Prunce blamed himself for failing to protect Fuwa but Cure Star told him that it is not over yet...
Before I gave my thoughts on this episode, the last few episodes were really less than interesting because of the Twinkle Imagination thing. I get it that the girls are suppose to get their closure before the final battle but the problem is it is very predictable. Maybe because I have watched so many seasons of Precure that I can kinda of predict what is going to happen.
The focus girl of the episode will get a conflict and in the end will resolve the conflict and got the Twinkle Imagination which it is not executed well. The conflict is not life threatening but rather more of a personal obstacle which is a common trope in Precure and it can be done well like how Team Smile or Team Go Princess did it. But in Star Twinkle, one word describe it-Adequate.
For this episode, it is the final battle and we finally know who Darknest really is but if you have been looking at all the hints like the snake motif around Darknest and you guess that her identify is the newly discovered 13th Zodiac sign- Ophiuchus then you are correct. (But no cigar)
Although we only know that Ophiuchus was once part of the Star Princesses but left for unknown reasons. Maybe secretly she is a Chuunibyou (Grade Eight Syndrome) and the rest of the princesses think she is some weirdo and kicked her out of the club and now Ophiuchus is out for revenge and decided to restart the universe. (What are you, Thanos?!)
The fight was all right but again the group attack which they have been using for the last 14 episodes save the day and even purified the generals and foot soldiers. However the girls were weakened and Ophiuchus seized the chance to capture Fuwa and sucked the Star Palace into her own dimension.
As Cure Star said that it is not over yet, the girls together with the reformed generals and their allies will go all out to save the universe in the next episode. Will our heroes make it in time? Until then, see you in the next post!
P.S: Yes, I am aware of Healing Good Precure and how Aoki Yuki is voicing the Lead Precure Cure Grace. This will definitely will increase the demographic from just children to teens and even older people since Aoki Yuki is a famous Seiyuu in the anime world. It looked okay to me based on the trailer but hopefully not another disappointing train wreck like the last few seasons. (Except Huggto Precure which is pretty good)
