Episode 22 Story

Anna Akechi and Mikuru Kobayashi are invited to attend a stage performance starring Shiruku Ieiri. Upon arriving at the theater, they are greeted by Shiruku’s manager, Miwa Ando, and reunite with him backstage. However, Shiruku reveals that he has received a notice from the Phantom Thieves Guild.

The notice reads, “Tonight at 7:00 PM, we will take Shiruku’s earrings.”

Although the earrings are not particularly valuable, they are a treasured keepsake that Shiruku wore during his debut audition. Coincidentally, 7:00 PM is also the curtain time for that evening’s performance. Responding to Shiruku’s request to protect the earrings, Anna and Mikuru immediately begin searching the theater.

Using the Pre-Kit Gloss, Mikuru disguises herself as a makeup artist and infiltrates the dressing room of Shiruku’s co-star, Sakura Yoshino. Meanwhile, while Anna is talking with her classmates Rie and Yumi near the theater entrance, Pochitan suddenly pulls her toward a crowd of arriving audience members after spotting Luluka Moria among them.

Introduction

Star Detective Precure introduces the first detective themed Precure storyline in the franchise and is set primarily in 1999. The protagonist Anna Akechi is a 14 year old second year middle school student living in Makoto Mirai Town. On her birthday, she encounters a fairy named Pochitan and is guided by a mysterious pendant found in her room, triggering a time slip from the year 2027 back to Makoto Mirai City in 1999.

There, Anna meets another 14 year old girl, Mikuru Kobayashi, who dreams of becoming a great detective. When a series of incidents begin to occur, the two girls find themselves unable to ignore people suffering from stolen treasured possessions. Together, they transform into the Star Detective Precure, solving mysteries with the catchphrase “That mystery will be cured” while protecting smiles through sharp deduction and searching for clues that may allow Anna to return to her original time.
