Ep. 27: Mana and Friends Discover Cure Ace's Five-Minute Transformation Limit During Tea Ceremony

27

Mana delivers a package to Mari Madoka, Aguri’s grandmother, who remains unaware of Aguri’s secret identity as Cure Ace. During an open-air tea ceremony, Aguri reveals her past as a PreCure defeated by the Jikochu, which caused her partner Ai to revert to an egg. Motivated by a desire to strengthen the team against King Jikochu, Aguri trains to improve their capabilities. Suddenly, Leva and Gula merge to form a giant Barbecue Jikochu. Aguri attempts to defeat the enemy quickly but fails, inadvertently exposing her critical weakness: she can only maintain her transformation for five minutes. Fortunately, the other PreCures intervene to neutralize the threat before Mari is harmed.
