**[00:12] ---**
I'm Manatsu Natsuumi.
**[00:14] ---**
*Living in my dream city, our club
and Pretty Cure work keep me busy.*
**[00:20] ---**
*My mermaid friend Laura and I
are gonna tropica-shine!*
**[00:27] ---**
Wow, beautiful scenery!
**[00:29] ---**
It feels so good.
**[00:34] ---**
Your first mountain climb, right?
**[00:36] ---**
Yeah.
**[00:37] ---**
My first time seeing
such pretty scenery!
**[00:41] ---**
I wanted to show you this.
**[00:45] ---**
This flower's beautiful too.
**[00:48] ---**
I don't see it in the city.
**[00:50] ---**
It's an alpine that only
grows in high places.
**[00:54] ---**
Dicentra flowers blossom
even in harsh conditions.
**[00:58] ---**
It's known as the "queen of alpines."
**[01:02] ---**
Oh, the queen.
**[01:04] ---**
It's almost like me.
**[01:06] ---**
The flowers on the way up
were also pretty.
**[01:10] ---**
Those by the river...
**[01:12] ---**
Huh, I didn't see that.
**[01:14] ---**
You were sleeping
in the Aqua Pot.
**[01:16] ---**
Wake me up in such times.
**[01:18] ---**
Geez, I'm swimming at the river later.
**[01:21] ---**
Now, now.
Let's take a break, shall we?
**[01:24] ---**
Yeah!
**[01:28] ---**
Eating Tropical Melon Bread at the peak,
the taste's superb!
**[01:33] ---**
Hey, let's take a picture.
**[01:36] ---**
Give me a sec.
**[01:38] ---**
Wow!
**[01:39] ---**
*Tropical Club*
**[01:41] ---**
Kururun, we're ready.
**[01:43] ---**
Kururun.
**[01:51] ---**
Feels awesome.
**[01:57] ---**
The water's clear.
**[01:58] ---**
Mountains are not bad too.
**[02:04] ---**
Laura!
**[02:24] ---**
*Let’s spark! Get pumped!*
**[02:26] ---**
*Viva Pretty Cure!*
**[02:29] ---**
*Chase after the light, yeah!*
**[02:33] ---**
*It’s summer in our hearts all year long*
**[02:36] ---**
*Hand in hand, fight on*
**[02:38] ---**
*Ride the waves, right on*
**[02:40] ---**
*Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure!*
**[02:46] ---**
*The coconuts swing, the guppies dance*
**[02:50] ---**
*We’re all brimming with motivation*
**[02:54] ---**
*Don't wait until tomorrow
Let’s get to work right now*
**[02:57] ---**
*After all, being eager is pretty*
**[03:01] ---**
*Come on, do it! Do it!
Work hard, maidens*
**[03:04] ---**
*We'll sparkle in our compacts*
**[03:09] ---**
*We'll break into smiles
with our floral leis*
**[03:12] ---**
*Let's make our dreams a reality*
**[03:16] ---**
*Let's tropica-shine!
We're all Pretty Cures!*
**[03:21] ---**
*All together now, say "Yeah!"*
**[03:25] ---**
*Our hearts shine like the summer sun*
**[03:29] ---**
*You'll miss out if you're shy
Let's just sing our song*
**[03:32] ---**
*Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure!*
**[03:39] ---**
*Pretty Cure!*
**[03:51] ---**
*The Witch's Trap!
Laura Was Captured!*
**[03:59] ---**
When will the Motivation Power
be gathered?
**[04:03] ---**
I'm sick of waiting already.
**[04:05] ---**
My apologies, Witch of Delays.
**[04:08] ---**
A mermaid is helping
the humans.
**[04:13] ---**
A mermaid helping the humans?
**[04:19] ---**
Mountain climbing was fun.
**[04:22] ---**
Hey, any activity ideas
for summer break?
**[04:25] ---**
Camp's the best for summer break.
**[04:28] ---**
Camp!
That sounds so exciting.
**[04:30] ---**
But where should we do it?
**[04:33] ---**
Our club's new,
so we have no budget.
**[04:36] ---**
How about Minamino Island?
**[04:38] ---**
Where you were born?
**[04:40] ---**
Yes!
**[04:41] ---**
Free lodging at my house.
**[04:43] ---**
There are many beaches
where there's nobody.
**[04:47] ---**
Laura, you can swim all you want.
**[04:50] ---**
Kururun?
**[04:51] ---**
Huh? She's not here.
**[04:55] ---**
Let's tropica-eat!
**[04:58] ---**
That flavor is?
**[05:00] ---**
Chick flavor, it's good.
**[05:01] ---**
So cute.
**[05:03] ---**
Mango watermelon is too red.
**[05:07] ---**
Laura, what's wrong?
**[05:10] ---**
Hm, it's nothing.
**[05:12] ---**
You seem less tropica-shining today.
**[05:15] ---**
You'll always say,
"Ah, looks nice, let me try"
**[05:20] ---**
whenever I eat ice cream.
**[05:22] ---**
Ah, looks nice, let me try.
**[05:27] ---**
Argh! You ate so much of it.
**[05:30] ---**
Where did you go during lunch?
**[05:33] ---**
Somewhere.
**[05:34] ---**
Don't wander and get caught
by the Disciplinary Committee.
**[05:39] ---**
Be rest assured I won't slip up.
**[05:50] ---**
Morning lessons are over.
**[05:53] ---**
I'm hungry.
**[05:55] ---**
Laura,
you're eating lunch with us, right?
**[05:59] ---**
Oh? The Aqua Pot's not here.
**[06:04] ---**
Where did she go?
**[06:05] ---**
You think Laura's been
acting weird lately?
**[06:09] ---**
Maybe she switched bodies
with someone again?
**[06:12] ---**
I'm the real thing.
**[06:15] ---**
Perhaps she's doing something secretly?
**[06:19] ---**
Hm, she could be...
**[06:21] ---**
What?
**[06:22] ---**
Bulk-buying Melon Bread.
**[06:23] ---**
I don't think so.
**[06:27] ---**
Let's split and look for her.
**[06:29] ---**
Okay.
**[06:31] ---**
*Library*
**[06:47] ---**
Let's see,
continuing from yesterday...
**[06:51] ---**
*The Little Mermaid*
**[06:59] ---**
*The Little Mermaid*...
**[07:02] ---**
Um...I was kind of interested in it.
**[07:06] ---**
I wanted to know how mermaids
are seen as in the human world.
**[07:11] ---**
Are you thinking of
becoming a human too?
**[07:17] ---**
Humph, what nonsense.
**[07:20] ---**
There's no way I'll want to
become a human.
**[07:24] ---**
But when we switched bodies last time,
**[07:27] ---**
you looked so happy.
**[07:29] ---**
That was that time.
**[07:31] ---**
It was kind of fun.
**[07:34] ---**
But it doesn't mean
I want to stay as a human.
**[07:43] ---**
The mermaid in this story
**[07:46] ---**
became a human by
the witch's power.
**[07:49] ---**
But she lost her beautiful voice
in exchange.
**[07:54] ---**
How foolish.
**[07:55] ---**
To give up her beautiful voice
to become a human.
**[08:00] ---**
I don't think it applies just to
*The Little Mermaid* story.
**[08:05] ---**
What do you mean?
**[08:07] ---**
For example...
**[08:08] ---**
If you want to get good grades,
you'll study real hard, right?
**[08:14] ---**
But that means you won't
have time to do what you like.
**[08:19] ---**
It's the same for humans.
**[08:22] ---**
To fulfill a wish,
**[08:25] ---**
one might need to give up
something precious.
**[08:34] ---**
Found her?
**[08:35] ---**
No, I didn't.
**[08:37] ---**
I didn't either,
but I did buy Melon Bread.
**[08:41] ---**
See, I got one for Laura too.
**[08:44] ---**
Minorin-Senpai,
buying Melon Bread too?
**[08:47] ---**
Fried Noodle Bread for me.
**[08:49] ---**
Did you see Laura around?
**[08:53] ---**
She was at the library just now.
**[08:55] ---**
Really?
**[08:58] ---**
You should have a talk with her.
**[09:01] ---**
Huh?
**[09:05] ---**
Hey, Laura.
**[09:07] ---**
Are you homesick again?
**[09:10] ---**
What? No way.
**[09:12] ---**
But you've been down lately.
**[09:15] ---**
What happened?
**[09:17] ---**
Nothing.
**[09:18] ---**
Everything's okay.
**[09:20] ---**
If you say so.
**[09:22] ---**
You always look so happy.
**[09:25] ---**
Yeah, every day's tropica-shining
and it's super fun.
**[09:30] ---**
And I get to do more club activities
with you too.
**[09:33] ---**
You're not having fun?
**[09:36] ---**
Ah, it's not enough for you?
**[09:38] ---**
You wanna do more
activities together?
**[09:41] ---**
That has nothing to do with it.
**[09:44] ---**
My goal is to become
the queen of Mermaid Kingdom.
**[09:48] ---**
To make that happen,
I need the Pretty Cures to work harder.
**[09:53] ---**
Got it!
**[09:54] ---**
Be it activities or becoming queen,
**[09:57] ---**
I'll support what you want to do
the most now.
**[10:01] ---**
I'm home.
Do we have a guest?
**[10:07] ---**
Oh, your friend?
**[10:09] ---**
Uh...yeah.
**[10:10] ---**
Hello.
**[10:13] ---**
Here you go.
**[10:15] ---**
It's the first time you invited
a friend to our home.
**[10:19] ---**
Is she a classmate?
**[10:21] ---**
Ah, um...
**[10:23] ---**
I'm Laura.
**[10:25] ---**
We met not in school but town.
**[10:28] ---**
I'm visiting Aozora City from overseas.
**[10:31] ---**
It's like she said.
**[10:33] ---**
We met by chance.
**[10:35] ---**
Nice to meet you, Laura.
**[10:38] ---**
I'm Aoi Natsuumi.
**[10:40] ---**
I'm working at Aozora Aquarium.
**[10:43] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[10:46] ---**
Oh, what's that?
**[10:48] ---**
Ah, this is nail polish for toenails.
**[10:52] ---**
It's called "pedicure."
**[10:54] ---**
Because of my job,
I can't paint my fingernails.
**[10:58] ---**
So I wanted to at least
make my feet fashionable.
**[11:02] ---**
So pretty...
**[11:03] ---**
Would you like to try too?
**[11:05] ---**
Huh?
**[11:06] ---**
But my...
**[11:09] ---**
My legs are...
**[11:11] ---**
Let's paint your fingernails then.
**[11:13] ---**
I wanna try painting nails too.
**[11:17] ---**
Yes!
**[11:19] ---**
That's it.
**[11:20] ---**
You're doing great.
**[11:23] ---**
Done.
**[11:24] ---**
Same design, different color.
**[11:27] ---**
Well, it's not bad.
**[11:29] ---**
I know.
**[11:30] ---**
Let's do this for the Tropical Club
members tomorrow.
**[11:36] ---**
Sheesh.
**[11:37] ---**
The Pretty Cures
keep getting in my way.
**[11:40] ---**
I'm not feeling this at all.
**[11:43] ---**
My main occupation is a doctor,
you know.
**[11:46] ---**
I'm a chef by trade too.
**[11:49] ---**
And I'm just a kid.
**[11:51] ---**
I really hate this.
**[11:53] ---**
Even if I gather it,
**[11:55] ---**
that mermaid sucks it all back
with that weird bottle.
**[12:01] ---**
Weird bottle...
**[12:03] ---**
Yes, that's it.
**[12:04] ---**
Huh?
**[12:06] ---**
What are you saying?
**[12:08] ---**
I think it's called "Mermaid Aqua Pot."
**[12:11] ---**
How about we steal that bottle
**[12:14] ---**
that sucks back the Motivation Power?
**[12:32] ---**
*To fulfill a wish,*
**[12:35] ---**
*one might need to give up
something precious.*
**[12:49] ---**
Is that what...
**[12:52] ---**
the human world is like?
**[13:10] ---**
Wow, Sango's good at it.
**[13:12] ---**
She helps out at the makeup shop.
**[13:15] ---**
I've seen my mom did it a few times.
**[13:18] ---**
It's my first manicure.
**[13:21] ---**
I...Is it too flashy?
**[13:23] ---**
Not at all, it suits you.
**[13:26] ---**
Okay, we're done.
**[13:30] ---**
Laura, you too.
**[13:33] ---**
How cute.
**[13:35] ---**
Kururun.
**[13:39] ---**
Oh, we should ask Ms. Sakuragawa
**[13:42] ---**
if we can conduct
a nail workshop at school.
**[13:46] ---**
I'm sure everyone will
ultra tropica-shine.
**[13:49] ---**
Good idea.
**[13:51] ---**
We can't make it a club,
but we can do it as an event.
**[13:57] ---**
Huh?
**[14:03] ---**
The sea's direction.
**[14:07] ---**
Yarane-da.
**[14:09] ---**
Go get them,
Zenzen Yarane-da.
**[14:12] ---**
Steal all their Motivation Power.
**[14:14] ---**
Yarane-da.
**[14:22] ---**
It's them again.
**[14:25] ---**
Pretty Cures, you're up.
**[14:26] ---**
Go for it, girls!
**[14:33] ---**
Pretty Cure Tropical Change!
**[14:40] ---**
Let's makeup! Bling!
**[14:45] ---**
Cheeks!
**[14:49] ---**
Eyes!
**[14:54] ---**
Hair!
**[15:00] ---**
Lips!
**[15:05] ---**
Dress!
**[15:17] ---**
Joyful everlasting summer!
**[15:20] ---**
Cure Summer!
**[15:23] ---**
Glittering jewels!
**[15:26] ---**
Cure Coral!
**[15:29] ---**
Sparkling fruits!
**[15:31] ---**
Cure Papaya!
**[15:35] ---**
Fluttering wings!
**[15:37] ---**
Cure Flamingo!
**[15:42] ---**
Cheerful today too.
**[15:43] ---**
Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure!
**[15:50] ---**
I've been waiting,
Pretty Cures.
**[15:52] ---**
Ain't feeling this,
let's get it over with.
**[15:56] ---**
So be it!
**[15:58] ---**
It'll take no time at all.
**[16:00] ---**
Yarane-da.
**[16:29] ---**
Yarane-da.
**[16:32] ---**
Now, Laura.
**[16:34] ---**
Get back the Motivation Power.
**[16:36] ---**
All right.
**[16:38] ---**
Now, Zenzen Yarane-da.
**[16:41] ---**
Yara...ne-da.
**[16:52] ---**
Whoa, Mermaid Aqua Pot!
**[16:54] ---**
Search!
**[16:56] ---**
Huh?
**[16:57] ---**
Yarane-da.
**[16:59] ---**
Oh, dear.
**[17:01] ---**
Ugh, what's this?
Wrong one!
**[17:03] ---**
This is not it.
**[17:05] ---**
My goodness, what's going on?!
**[17:09] ---**
N...Not this one, not this too.
**[17:12] ---**
Wrong, it's all wrong.
**[17:16] ---**
What?
**[17:22] ---**
What a big catch.
**[17:24] ---**
Laura!
**[17:26] ---**
Bye.
**[17:39] ---**
No way.
**[17:41] ---**
Oh, no.
**[17:42] ---**
Laura's been kidnapped!
**[17:51] ---**
What's with this?
**[17:54] ---**
Kururun.
**[18:00] ---**
Found it!
**[18:01] ---**
Kururun.
**[18:03] ---**
I know,
I'll use bubble pictures.
**[18:20] ---**
What should we do?
**[18:22] ---**
Search the sea?
**[18:25] ---**
But how...?
**[18:26] ---**
Has Laura ever told you
where Gran Ocean is?
**[18:30] ---**
Um...no, she hasn't.
**[18:32] ---**
The Witch of Delays?
**[18:34] ---**
She didn't tell me that either.
**[18:37] ---**
Manatsu-san.
**[18:40] ---**
Why are you gathered here?
**[18:43] ---**
Mafune-san.
**[18:44] ---**
The aquarium's director,
Mafune Hirabayashi-san.
**[18:48] ---**
Hello.
**[18:49] ---**
Good afternoon.
**[18:51] ---**
Oh, maybe you'll know
about the sea world.
**[18:56] ---**
Even the aquarium's director
won't know...
**[18:59] ---**
We were wondering
where the mermaids
**[19:02] ---**
and the witch might live
in the sea world.
**[19:07] ---**
Ah, we talked about this too
when we first met.
**[19:11] ---**
That such places
might exist in the vast sea.
**[19:16] ---**
Oh, you're right.
**[19:19] ---**
Do you know how much the sea
covers as compared to land
**[19:24] ---**
on this Earth we live in?
**[19:26] ---**
Not sure.
**[19:28] ---**
About half?
**[19:29] ---**
70 percent.
**[19:31] ---**
Correct.
**[19:32] ---**
That means the sea is
2.5 times bigger than land.
**[19:37] ---**
Also, there are still many places
in the deep sea unexplored by humans.
**[19:44] ---**
To humans, the sea is an unknown world,
full of mysteries like the universe.
**[19:57] ---**
Laura.
**[19:58] ---**
We don't know anything about Laura.
**[20:03] ---**
I spoke to her at the library yesterday.
**[20:06] ---**
Oh, you did?
**[20:09] ---**
She was reading
*The Little Mermaid*.
**[20:12] ---**
Perhaps she's thinking
of becoming a human?
**[20:24] ---**
That's...
**[20:30] ---**
It's a bubble picture.
**[20:35] ---**
These are...
**[20:37] ---**
Laura may be giving us directions
using these bubble pictures.
**[20:44] ---**
Let's go.
**[20:45] ---**
Yeah!
**[20:50] ---**
Pretty Cure Tropical Change!
**[21:06] ---**
I can even breathe underwater.
**[21:13] ---**
Wait for us, Laura!
**[21:18] ---**
Hey!
**[21:19] ---**
Let me out of here,
I mean it.
**[21:22] ---**
What a noisy mermaid.
**[21:24] ---**
No, not in front of the Witch.
**[21:33] ---**
So you're the mermaid
who's helping the humans.
**[21:39] ---**
Why are you taking their side?
**[21:45] ---**
Ah, so that's what it's all about.
**[21:49] ---**
You're yearning to be a human.
**[21:54] ---**
You want to become one, huh?
**[22:00] ---**
If so, help me.
**[22:06] ---**
And I'll grant you your wish.
**[22:16] ---**
Today's Motivation is ocean blue.
**[22:23] ---**
Come on everyone, let's dance!
**[22:25] ---**
*Pretty Cure*
**[22:29] ---**
*Pretty Cure*
**[22:32] ---**
*Pretty Cure*
**[22:36] ---**
*Countdown to the after-school bell
(Oh, yeah)*
**[22:40] ---**
*Getting all excited*
**[22:43] ---**
*Signaling with our usual smile*
**[22:47] ---**
*Let's start, friends*
**[22:49] ---**
*My colorful boom
Presentation time*
**[22:52] ---**
*A to Z of what I'm obsessed with now*
**[22:56] ---**
*I'm constantly changing*
**[22:59] ---**
*Time for pictures! Focus!*
**[23:03] ---**
*Tropical-Rouge! To hearts
(Let's makeup)*
**[23:07] ---**
*Casting a spell with a dazzling light*
**[23:11] ---**
*Bling!
Cheering for courage*

*Girls, advance gallantly*
**[23:17] ---**
*YES! Rouge! Pledge!
(Let's change)*
**[23:20] ---**
*I.N.G no matter when*
