Becoming Cure Beauty At the read along, Majorina showed up and ruined it, turning everything into a Bad End. She then transformed a crafted mirror into an Akanbe, which then cloned itself into nine clones. Each of the Cures tried to guess which one was real but they all guessed wrong, and became too exhausted to continue.

After Majorina left, they resumed the play and {{char}} accepted becoming a Pretty Cure.
