Marking the third entry to the Pretty Cure All Stars crossover film series, as well as the final installment to the DX trilogy, the Suite PreCure team joins the previous Pretty Cure teams on protecting the Prism Flower from evil forces.
Plot
editThe Suite PreCure team: Hibiki and Kanade, arrive at the mall, and encounter HeartCatch PreCure! team: Tsubomi, Erika, Itsuki and Yuri, who are holding a fashion show, with the other Pretty Cures present. Suddenly, millions of fairies and mascots fall from the sky. Worried, Coco and Nutts wonder if something had happened, and then the villains Dark Witch, Freezen and Frozen, Sirloin, Shadow and Mushiban, Toymajin and Count Salamander appears before them. The Cures transform, and then demand why they have reappeared. The Dark Witch responds that it is due to Lord Black Hole, which was created by the evil energies from their respective villains' defeat,[a] and Fusion and Bottom's creator.[b] Aiming to get the Prism Flower, the villains transport the Cures through different dimensions.
Cures Black, Bloom, Dream, Peach, Blossom and Melody end up in a desert, and Cures White, Egret, Mint, Aqua, Berry, Marine and Rhythm end up in a wrecked ship surrounded by the ocean, while Shiny Luminous, Milky Rose, Cures Rouge, Lemonade, Passion, Sunshine and Moonlight on a giant board game. Despite their mishaps, they individually manage to escape and return to Earth. All their respective teams defeat the villains, while Melody and Rhythm finish Freezen and Frozen. However, Lord Black Hole arrives and attacks, causing the Cures to lose their transformation devices. While the rest despair, Coco and Nuts suggest using the Prism Flower's powers to defeat Lord Black Hole, but at the cost of the mascots not being able to see the Cures again, as the flower is the bridge between their world and Earth. All are saddened, but Hibiki encourages everyone to move forward. The Cures plead to the Prism Flower, and with its power and the Miracle Lights, they all transform into their upgraded selves, and combine their powers to attack and defeat Lord Black Hole. Despite this victory, the girls are separated from their mascots.
Weeks later, the girls are playing at the park, and suddenly, their individual mascots appears. Chypre tells them that the Tree of Hearts had bloomed a new Prism Flower, allowing them to return to their friends.
