P-P-Phantom Thieves' Guild?!

A calling card.
That's very stylish, Luluka.

- CALLING CARD AT ART MUSEUM

- Yesterday, Chinami Hosho,
owner of Hosho Art Museum

received a calling card from
a so-called Phantom Thieves' Guild.

Huh?

The calling card read,

- "Tomorrow night at 8 p.m.,
I'll steal the Starlight Princess."

Cure Arcana Shadow Appears!

Arcana Shadow... Leaving a calling card
is so totally bogus!

I think it's nice.
She's enthusiastic about her first job.

Huh? What are you talking about?

A calling card...

Could be entertaining.

EXHIBITION ROOM

Detectives?

Yes... They want to protect
the necklace from the thieves.

A calling card is like a challenge
to detectives!

We'll stop their plans!

Yeah!

Pochitan's wearing her Mystique costume,
and she's ready!

These children are detectives? Huh?

Oh...

My!

Look!

She's the owner we saw on TV.

Ms. Hosho!

Nice to meet you! I'm Mikuru Kobayashi
from the CUREtto Detective Agency!

I'm Anna Akechi.

-What an adorable pouch!
-Huh?

These frills are irresistible!

-Would you sell it to me?
-What?!

- EXHIBITION ROOM - FLOOR PLAN

- No! She's my friend!

If you do, I'll let you guard
the Starlight Princess. Okay?

Y-You can't have Pochitan.

But leave the Starlight Princess to us!

We'll protect it!

If you change your mind, let me know.

Wow!

I've gathered this collection
from all around the world.

Everyone's here to see it.

And this.

This is the Starlight Princess.

-Wow!
-It's gold-star beautiful!

It's a historically significant necklace.

It's worth no less than 2 billion yen.

-What!
-T-Two billion?

So this is the necklace
the Phantom Thieves' Guild is after!

It's so sparkly and lovely, darling!

Honey, you're even more sparkly to me!

Is this thieves' guild even real?

Could it be a rumor,
like Nostradamus' predictions?

I've been hearing about them.

They appeared at a wedding hall
and a cake shop.

We solved those cases!

Oh? Really?

Yes! I never lie!

We'll gold-star solve this one, too!

You two won't need to get involved.
Come on!

Whoa!

My art museum has elite guards.

We also have security cameras
running 24 hours a day!

The case is made of
ultra-strong special glass!

Even if an elephant stands on it,
it won't break!

Wow!

Our trump card is this machine!

The camera reads my face
and opens the case!

The latest in high-tech security!

-Oh, facial recognition!
-Huh?

You know it?

Smartphones use it, too!

Smartphones?

Oh, don't mind her!

Anyway, you see how you're not needed!

If you decide to give me the pouch,
let me know!

The Phantom Thieves want it, which means
it has a Makoto Jewel, right?

Surely.

The card said 8 p.m.
Let's survey the museum until then!

Okay!

Over ten cameras at entrances and exits.

Lots of journalists,
due to the calling card.

Alright!

-It's so popular.
-Huh?

That necklace.

Oh, yes it is.

The Phantom Thieves want it,
so it's in the news.

-Look, isn't it lovely!
-Pretty!

That's not all. Even before the commotion,
many people loved the necklace.

I wonder what draws them in?

Hmm, I don't really know.

I guess everyone's feelings
came together and made it sparkle!

Anna!

Mikuru!

Excuse me!

Good luck... Star Detective.

Huh?

HOSHO ART MUSEUM

THE MUSEUM IS CLOSED

Ten minutes until the announced time.

Ms. Hosho, it's dangerous.
I don't think you should be...

No, this is the safest place.
Come on!

Whoa!

Alright!

Before we begin, I'll read your fortune!

I see it!

Luluka, an intruder will get in your way!

Thank you. Your fortunes often come true.

But...

I never fail.

Open.

Pre-Kit Gloss.

Let's go, Mashutan.

Leave it to me, Luluka! Start the mission!

SPECIAL EXHIBITION ROOM

I'll go to the electrical room and cut
the museum's power at exactly 8 p.m.

It'll be pitch dark.

Here it is!

ELECTRICAL ROOM
DANGER

It's so stiff I can't open it!

- ELECTRICAL ROOM
DANGER

- Oh no!

- ELECTRICAL ROOM
DANGER

- A stuffed animal?

He picked me up! I'm just too cute!

Must be a lost item.

One minute left!

Now's my chance!

Ten seconds.

- 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

- MAIN POWER SWITCH

-A blackout!
-Oh my!

Back-up power will turn on soon!

Whoa! What's that?

The Phantom Thieves' card!

"The Phantom Thieves' Guild was here!"

"The Starlight Princess has been replaced
by a fake. No hard feelings."

What?

T-T-Terrible!

Stop! It's a trap!

Huh?

They make you think it's a fake,
so you open the case to check.

But it's still the real one!

You're right.

The moment it's unlocked,

I'll take it from the case.

It's a classic trick.

Was the Makoto Jewel stolen?

SPECIAL EXHIBITION ROOM

- EXHIBITION ROOM - ROOFTOP

- Wait!

That went well!

Yeah.

Open!

Pre-Kit Light!

Ring Toss!

How did you find me?

There are more than ten security cameras
around the museum entrances.

There are many journalists outside.

It would be easier to escape via the roof.

Nice one.

It's you!

You can't stop me like that.

Become Precures.

If you don't...

I'll disguise myself and blend in,

and I'll get away.

A Pre-Kit Gloss?

Open!

Jewel Cure Watch!

Precure! Wake-up Time!







Spin around!

And finish off cutely!

Gold-star closing the case on any mystery!

Star Detective Cure Answer!

Jumping towards smiles
with layered reasoning!

Star Detective Cure Mystique!

Star Detective Precure!

I'll show you my answer!

Who are you, anyway?

Why do you have a Pre-Kit Gloss?

Don't detectives solve mysteries?

Not very charming to just ask for answers.

Mashutan, hold on to this.

Fine. Just this once,

I'll give you the answer.

Fine. Just this once,

I'll give you the answer.

Open.

Tear Arcana Rod!

Shuffle!

Reverse!

Enveloping all in mystery and secrets,

Cure Arcana Shadow!

Now then, welcome to the labyrinth.

Cure Arcana Shadow?!

You're a Precure?

Alright, take me on.

Your movements are too simple.

It's clear what your next move will be.

What?!

Your movements are big and predictable.

Arcana Star Rain!

You're really giving your all.

All for a fake.

Huh?

Ma'am! Let's call the police!

-No, never!
-What?

- THE STARLIGHT PRINCESS
WAS REPLACED BY A FAKE

- "The Starlight Princess
was replaced by a fake."

In a sense, that is true.

All of the items on display
at the museum are fake!

Huh?! A-All of them? Since when?

Since they were put on display!

I want to show off to everyone.

But I'd hate for them to be stolen.

A collector's spirit is truly complex!

A fake...

A necklace of lies captivates people
until it even houses a Makoto Jewel.

Lies aren't always bad.

Don't you think? Star Detectives.

But...

No!

Telling lies and stealing
things from people?

It's totally unacceptable!

Answer Attack!

Arcana.

It's because you left the calling card.

What a total mess!

Hang on!

I'll finish this!

Lies, envelop!

Make 'em fly!

Hanninda!

Han! Ninda!

Hanninda!

The intruder from my fortunetelling.
It was Ageseine!

Hannin!

Huh?

Da!

This totally bites!

Don't get in my way.

Hanninda!

-Mystique!
-Okay!

Open!

Pre-Kit Mirror Loupe!

Pochitan!

Makoto Jewel!

Look!

Feel!

Solve the mystery!

This is our answer!

Precure! Flying Spectrum!

CUREtto Case Closed!

Han! Nin! Da!

Pochi Pochi Cure Cure!

Arcana Shadow! This is so wack!

Now I know for sure.

As you are now,

you can't beat the Phantom Thieves.

Why is a Precure a thief?

It's too bad about the Makoto Jewel.

Don't feel bad!
Failure is the root of success.

Wrong.

I never fail.

According to museum staff,
all the items on display are fake?!

I wanted to show off,
but was scared things would get stolen!

I'll display the real items,
so do forgive me!

The calling card caused a big fuss,
so now she's displaying the real one.

Arcana Shadow.

Was this her aim all along?
