I have to say, I did quite enjoy this film. The music retains its quality as well, so that’s more points in favour of this film. Regardless, the action’s still great – the first fight against Fusion and the big damn heroes moments probably being the highlights. Cure Echo doesn’t exactly contribute a whole lot here, either – she does one thing before reverting back to Ayumi, and that thing isn’t even that impressive…Īt least in the DX trilogy, all of the Cures got lines… though considering how absurdly big that number is starting to become, I guess it shouldn’t really come as a surprise.

A story like this could have easily been done within a single continuity. Whilst I do like Ayumi’s character, I feel that the focus on her detracts from the whole premise of what an All Stars film is supposed to be. So basically, this film is Ayumi’s story, with the other PreCure thrown in for good measure. As far as finales go, this one is actually somewhat subdued compared to the stuff from the previous films – it only involves the Smile Cures, despite all Cures being present. However, her desire to help Fu brings forth a new power and the number of Cures increases by one.Īs you can imagine, things move towards the climax from there. Their only role for this part is to play big damn heroes.Īs Ayumi gets closer to Fu, she ends up engulfed in one of Fusion’s fragments. This is the point where all other PreCure teams show up as well – they get no dialogue whatsoever, though the insert song “Friends” by Aya Ikeda does kick in with their arrival. The Smile Cures try to get Ayumi closer to Fu so she can convince him to stop, whilst the others fight the fragments of Fusion. Again, they get to keep their transformation themes. Things take a turn for the worse with the fragments of Fusion actively attacking Ayumi, but the HeartCatch and Fresh Cures show up, as do their fairies. The Cures explain that Fu came from Fusion, and he needs to be stopped before it makes the whole city disappear.

The Suite and Smile Cures go to attack Fu, but Ayumi stops them. After all, Ayumi did tell him that he needs to eat to grow big and strong…Īyumi ends up meeting Miyuki and the other Smile Cures again, and Fu actively attacks the Cures. Fu takes this literally and starts devouring things, including Ayumi’s mother. They retain their respective transformation themes, though their tactics for fighting Fusion only serve to empower it… you’d think the Suite Cures would know better, huh?Īnyway, attention shifts back to Ayumi who ends up throwing a tantrum and wishing that her mother and the city didn’t exist. The Suite and Smile Cures all meet up and transform in order to fight Fusion. Shortly after parting ways, fragments of Fusion show up. Miyuki and Hibiki both end up chasing her, and we end up with the running gag of the current and previous lead Cures bumping into each other. A fateful encounter between Miyuki and AyumiĪyumi also ends up bumping into Hibiki as well.
