A Gaoh New Year
Ahhh!
Yess! First double-flip of the year!
Aw, come on...
Menko: Game where you flip other cards over and capture them
They're playing animal menko cards!
Animal menko?
They make Animal Town menko cards with everyone's pictures, and see who comes out on top!
Wow...
Woah!
Yeah! Took 'em back!
Everyone's niko-niko smiley!
Okay, I'm up next!
Having fun there, huh?
Yeah! Tons of fun!
Oh? That is...
A menko card of Yuki?
From the Animal Calendar picture.
She's cool, so I made one!
You don't say.
So you all saw the Animal Calendar!
We got it at our house too!
May's my favorite!
Uhm... Well I like all of 'em!
Me too! Me too!
If he heard that, I bet Mayor Washio would be like...
"I'm so deeply moved!"
That'd be just like him!
They're flying kites down by the river!
Wowwie~!
Everybody!
Let us join in too!
Ehh!? Why me, too?
You'll warm up if you move around a bunch!
Okay, I'm letting it go!
There!
Fly~!
Ahah! It's flying so high!
You're so good at that!
Yahh!
Woah...
Ahaha! Yuki, you're so cool!
Yes, yes!
Mirror Stone Shrine
Mayu-chan, what's wrong?
It's my first time doing a new year's shrine visit with Yuki!
So I'm just really excited right now!
Right, Yuki?
Right you are.
I see.
It's your first New Year's Day here in Animal Town, huh?
Ehehehe.
Hm?
All niko-niko smiley!
It's Ookuma-san!
Hello?
Mayu-chan! New year cheers!
Oh! Happy New Year to you, too!
Happy New Year, Ookuma-chan!
New year!
Ahaha! Knew you all'd be with her!
Figured I'd get to greet you all if I just called up Mayu-chan!
Where are you, Ookuma-san?
At the farm.
Taking care of cows means there ain't no new year's break, see.
One of 'em's close to giving birth, too.
A baby is being born?
Yep, pretty soon here.
Baby cows are crazy cute, you should come see 'em!
Alright, see you at school then.
Call Ended
A baby cow! Isn't that exciting?
Yeah!
Let's all go see it together!
"Prayer for Safe Delivery"...
Huh?
Maybe we should buy a good luck charm for Ookuma-san!
Yeah, good thinking!
Mirror Stone Shrine
Animal Shrine sells charms for animals too.
Let's see, the charms are...
You getting cold again? Want some more tea?
S-snakes...
Huh?
Why are there so many snakes around here?
Ohh. It's now the Year of the Snake, that's why.
Oh, that's right! Yuki hates snakes!
Okay, I'll be your guard dog then!
Huh?
Nuhuhu~
Can't see 'em now, can ya?
Ahh!
Woahh!
What do you think you're doing?
Walk a dog, and she'll trip over a stick!
Referencing proverb: "The dog that walks finds the stick", or "Nothing ventured, nothing gained"
So you tripped over it, instead of just finding it?
Happy New Year to you and yours.
Happy New Year!
New year!
Karasuma-san, do you have a charm for safe delivery?
We want to give one to Ookuma-san's cow!
Ah, in that case...
Yes, here you go.
Wow! You even have one specifically for cows!
We have charms for every animal you could possibly think of.
Huh?
That's Animal Shrine for you!
Ahaha...
Wrong! You gotta do it like this!
Hah? Wasn't it like this?
Those voices...
It's Kanie-chan!
Like I said, like this!
And Saruwatari-kun too.
Huhh?? What am I doing wrong?
Kanie-chan, Saruwatari-kun! Happy New Year!
Oh! Happy New Year!
Cheers y'all!
What're you up to?
This year, I will spread the good word on the magnificence of crabs!
And step #1 is to instruct Saruwatari in the correct ways of the Crab Peace Sign!
But Saruwatari really sucks at this.
I'm doin' it, ain't I!? Look!
No! That angle is incorrect!
Right hand like so! Left hand like so!
Like so!
Nooo!!
Battle of the Monkey and Crab...
Ahaha...
Hey! We can go get some amazake over there!
Amazake~!
I've had some before!
Amazake
Eh, you have?
The amazake in Animal Town isn't made from sake lees, but from malted rice. So everyone is okay to drink it.
Sounds delightful!
Similar proverb: "Slow and steady is the key to longevity (wins the race)"
Cranes live for 1000 years,
Turtles for 10,000 years,
And deer are divine messengers!
Try our amazake, steeped in all this good luck,
And you'll be in prime health, all year long!
Otsuru-san, Okame-san, Oshika-san!
Happy New Year!
And Happy New Year to you all!
Here you are!
Ahh~ So delicious~~
Mayu! Everybody!
Mama!
And, Papa!
Saw those nice smiles, and couldn't help myself!
You came to visit th—
Woah! Say, you there!
Lookin' good!
Looks like he's on a roll...
Once Papa gets in the groove, nobody can stop him...
What she said. And plus...
Takayuki-san! Take one of my pup too!
Oh, do mine next, please!
Everybody in town knows him now!
He's so ecstatic, always going "I can get the best shots in this town!"
By the way, where is Youko-san? She didn't come with you?
She said she'll come visit later, when it's calmed down a bit.
They're probably snug under the kotatsu right now...
Mehh...
It's done!
Mehh!
I see. Youko-san likes miso, while Tsuyoshi-san prefers soy sauce!
Pretty much.
Now there's that New Year taste!
Yes, yes, yes!
Yummehh~! This is positively delectable!
We got grilled mochi too!
Mehh~! What a savory aroma!
Mirror Stone Shrine
What'd you wish for?
Eh? Uhm...
Ah! Mirror Stone, cheers to you too!
Everyone's having so much fun.
Yep! I'm getting all smiley just looking at them!
Soo much fun! Isn't this wonderful?
It certainly is.
Ufufufu!
Gaoh-sama...
I shall take revenge for my pack...
What's wrong, Komugi?
What?
Ehh...?
Animal Town is...
This is...
Just like back then!
When Niko Garden was...!
Destroy... Destroy everything...
Inflict retribution upon the humans!
Gaogaohn~!!
Gaoh-sama.
Gaoh-sama, I know you wish to take revenge for our pack!
But even if you do this... No...
No matter what you do, our pack will not return!
So I should simply forget about it all?
Forget about our friends, who were taken from us?
Forget this wrath, that ever seethes within me?
Well, I...
However, even if you destroy this town, and make the humans suffer,
It will not bring you happiness, Gaoh-sama!
I want to make you happy, Gaoh-sama!
I have no need for joy.
I wish only to seek revenge for my pack.
Until that day comes, I shall not stop.
Gaogaohn!
I will go, and carry out your wish, Gaoh-sama!
They're coming!
Girls!
Yeah!
Shiny Cats Pact!
Wonderful Pact!
Pretty Cure! My Evolution!
With sparkling cheeks!
And lips so cute!
This fantastic world that everybody loves! Cure Wonderful!
Let's play together!
This world colored with everyone's smiles! Cure Friendy!
Let me hear your voice!
This elegant, adorable, glittering world! Cure Nyammy!
What a handful. I suppose I can keep you company!
This tied, spun up, connected world! Cure Lillian!
Don't be scared, don't be scared!
Everyone together!
Ready, set...
Wonderful Pretty Cure!
Gaogaohn~!
Get away from here, and quickly!
A dog?
No... It's different!
It's a wolf!
Zakuro!
Gaogaohn!
Is it just me, or is it...
Yeah... It's super angry!
We gotta stop it!
For Gaoh-sama...
Zakuro...
Gaogaohn!
Can't let ya do that!
Puni-Puni Barrier!
Gaogaohn!
Ribbon Barrier!
Urk! It's so powerful!
You okay?
Yeah!
Hurry and finish them off!
Gaogaohn!
— Puni-Puni Barrier! — Ribbon Barrier!
Zakuro.
What's this? You wanna go?
Zakuro. I can see the pain in your face.
Haah!? W-what are you...
All those animals, living here together.
All those feelings and smiles gathered together.
In truth, you do not hate this world of ours, do you?
You do not wish to destroy. Isn't that why you're in pain?
Even so... I must do it.
To carry out Gaoh-sama's wish...
So, I will...
So, I will destroy everything!
Everything! Everything! Everything!
Everything!!
This entire world, that causes Gaoh-sama to suffer!
Everything is for Gaoh-sama! For my friend!
That just means you're the same as us!
'Cuz Zakuro and Gaoh, and everyone else...
We all love our friends, after all!
So we're the same!
Hey, Zakuro! You think we could become friends?
I sure wanna be friends with you!
Zakuro. I want to connect your feelings with Gaoh!
My...?
As long as you hold such adorable feelings,
You'll be able to make this world glitter with joy!
No way I'll ever be able t—
You can!
Gaogaohn!
Ahh!
Wonderful! Friendy!
Lillian Net!
Gaogaohn!
So strong!
Friendy!
Friendy Ribbon!
Gao!?
Now's our chance!
Girls!
Niko's power, I grant to you!
Open! Niko Evolution!
Diamond Ribbon Style!
Even better friends!
Precure! Eternal Bond Shower!
What is this?
That stone was sitting up at Tooboe Shrine!
Hmm...
It is not over yet.
The flames of wrath cannot be smothered so easily.
You simply do not yet understand.
He comes.
Huh?
You don't mean...

Gaoh...
So he's finally come.
Uwah! Look at all those wolf Gaogaohns!
They're all so angry... My voice cannot reach them at all.
As if they are the very embodiment of Gaoh's wrath.
We've got to put a stop to them!
Wonderful Precure!
