Kip. 48: Overlapping Thoughts! The Star of Hope Shines Through the Darkness

48

Despite Fuwa's sacrifice, Ophiuchus manages to survive the ritual because Hikaru's feelings of losing Fuwa came into conflict with it. Ophiuchus begins the ritual to cover the universe in darkness and erase it, luckily the Precure manage to survive thanks to the power of their pendants. While lingering in the darkness, Hikaru comes to realise that Fuwa and the universe still exist in their hearts and vows to continue to protect it. The Cures manage to transform into their Twinkle Styles and confront Ophiuchus, revealing that the power of imagination is entirely their own. The Cures defeat Ophiuchus and restore the universe; when Ophiuchus asks why she was spared, Hikaru says she wants her to see the universe they'll create. Ophiuchus admits defeat but decides to leave, vowing to return if things become twisted again. With their new power of imagination the Cures manage to bring back Fuwa but unfortunately she no longer has her warp abilities. The Princesses agree to take care of Fuwa at the palace but Hikaru, Elena and Madoka must return to Earth, meaning they must say goodbye to Yuni and Lala. Hikaru says a tearful farewell to Lala before leaving through a portal created by Garouga using Ophiuchus' damaged bracelet. Back on Earth, Hikaru, Elena and Madoka vow to see their friends again someday. (Source: Wikipedia)
