Star☆Twinkle Precure episodes

One night, Hikaru Hoshina draws a peculiar constellation she spotted in the sky when a mysterious fairy, which she names Fuwa, emerges from her notebook. The next day, Hikaru encounters two aliens, Lala and Prunce, who arrived on Earth through a warpgate Fuwa created and explain they are searching for the legendary Precure. They are soon followed by Kappard of the evil Notraiders who pursue Fuwa, prompting Lala and Prunce to escape into space with Hikaru and Fuwa in tow. When Lala's rocket becomes damaged and Fuwa is sucked out into space, Hikaru rushes in to save Fuwa, who changes her notebook into the Twinkle Book and grants her the Star Color Pendant and Star Color Pen which transforms her into Cure Star. After Hikaru manages to beat back Kappard, Fuwa gives Lala the power to communicate with Hikaru before her rocket abruptly crashes back to Earth.

As Lala tries to fix her rocket, Hikaru takes everyone else back to her place while trying to keep aliens a secret from her family. The next day, Prunce explains the 12 Star Princesses who protected the universe became scattered across space after their planet was attacked by the Notraiders, sending Prunce and Fuwa to search for the Precure. As Lala laments over Hikaru becoming a Precure instead of her, the gang are attacked by Kappard and his Notray troops. Encouraged by Hikaru not to let data dictate who she is, Lala gains power from Fuwa, transforming her into Cure Milky and allowing her to face Kappard. Afterwards, Hikaru's Star Color Pendant starts making a strange noise.

Prunce deduces that the noise from the Star Color Pendant is related to the Star Princesses. As Hikaru tries to find where the noise leads to, she ends up butting heads with Lala, who wants to wait until her data analysis is complete. After receiving some advice from Elena Amamiya, a florist who is popular at Hikaru's school, Hikaru and Lala learn to stop arguing and listen to each other properly. Upon figuring out that the pendant is acting as a radar, the girls find a Star Color Pen, but it is swiped by another Notraider commander, Tenjou. With Tenjou defending herself with her Notray troops, Hikaru relies on Lala's help to get her through Tenjou's defenses and recover the Taurus Princess Star Color Pen. Using the pen's power, Fuwa revives the Taurus Star Princess, who urges the girls to help Fuwa grow and retrieve the other pens in order to save the universe. In the end, Hikaru and Lala apologize for their bad behavior and are forgiven.

Lala comes to Hikaru's school, where she observes how much everyone admires Elena for her sporty prowess. After briefly running into student council president Madoka Kaguya, who notices something peculiar about them, Hikaru and Lala go to thank Elena for helping them make up for their fight at her family's flower shop, where she looks after her many siblings. On their way home, Hikaru and Lala come under attack by Tenjou, who uses a smokescreen to keep them separated from each other. Having noticed the commotion, Elena rushes in to protect Fuwa, who gives her the power to transform into Cure Soleil and face Tenjou.

Madoka ends up discovering Fuwa and becomes conflicted over whether she should report her to her father Fuyuki, who is chief of the Diet's Space Research Special Task Force. As Hikaru and the others try to convince Madoka to stay quiet, they come across Tenjou, who attacks with overwhelming numbers of Notreys. Prioritising her own feelings over her father's wishes, Madoka strives to protect Fuwa and gains the power to become Cure Selene. After beating back Tenjou, Madoka keeps everyone's identity a secret from Fuyuki and vows to fight as a Precure.

With Lala struggling to repair her rocket, Hikaru takes her to the local observatory, where a man named Ryo studies the stars, in the hopes of taking her mind off of things. As Lala remains defiant, Ryo shows her his planetarium, teaching her about constellations and relationships. Just then, another Notraider commander named Eyeone uses the power of a Dark Pen to turn Ryo's imagination into an evil monster known as a Notrigger. Realizing the meaning of Ryo's words, Lala relies on the help of the other Cures to retrieve the Dark Pen and convert it into the Leo Star Color Pen, allowing her to defeat the Notrigger, save Ryo, and revive the Leo Star Princess. Afterwards, Lala asks for everyone's help in repairing her rocket.

As the girls begin repairing the rocket with roles assigned by the AI, Hikaru comes up with an idea on how to make the rocket look cuter. Intrigued by Hikaru's design, Lala goes against her AI's predetermined plan and works with everyone to decorate the ship, with the AI noticing how cheerful these logically unnecessary actions are making Lala. Tenjou appears and sends her Notrays to try and smash the rocket, but the Cures manage to protect it and beat her off. With their rocket fully completed, the girls head off into space to search for the next Princess Star Color Pen.

The girls arrive on the planet Kennel, where they meet three dog-like aliens named Doggy, Maggy, and Neggy. There, they discover the Libra Star Color Pen being treated like a sacred treasure by Doggy's people, leading Elena and Prunce to clash over whether they should take it from them. As Kappard arrives to try and take the pen for himself, Prunce, prioritising Elena's safety above all else, uses a fur-growing potion to protect Doggy's group as they retrieve the pen, allowing Elena to defeat Kappard. Afterwards, the planet's elder, having fixed the planet's true treasure, allows the pen to go with the girls, who revive the Libra Star Princess.

Worried that her father is close to finding out about Precure, Madoka's stress over maintaining her perfect image leads her to start making mistakes. Noticing her worries, Hikaru and Lala take Madoka to the shopping district for the first time to try Star Donuts for the first time. Just then, Eyeone targets rival classmate Sakurako Himenojo to summon a Notrigger. Supporting her fellow Cures, Madoka retrieves the Capricorn Star Color Pen, allowing her to rescue Sakurako and revive the Capricorn Star Princess.

After hearing about the Southern Cross from Ryo, Hikaru decides to search for it, only for everyone's attention to turn towards another Star Color Pen on Kumarin, a planet with twice the gravity of Earth. Guided by a resident named Kumu, the girls are soon confronted by Kappard, Tenjou, and Eyeone, who have received a power boost from their leader, Darknest. As the Cures become overwhelmed by their opponent's new strength, losing both the new Star Color Pen and the Taurus Pen in the process, Fuwa and the others help them make an emergency retreat back to Earth, landing near where Fuyuki is searching.

Escaping from Fuyuki's party to the observatory, the group is discovered by Ryo, who keeps them hidden from Fuyuki and agrees to keep Lala and the others a secret. While Ryo consoles Hikaru as she blames herself for what happened, Eyeone uses the Taurus pen to turn herself, Kappard, and Tenjou into a Notrigger, which attacks Fuyuki. As Hikaru struggles against the Notrigger, she receives encouragement from the others, allowing her and the others to call upon the power of the Twinkle Sticks, letting them defeat the Notrigger and recover the Taurus pen. After the Notraiders escape, Hikaru's group is confronted by Fuyuki when they are approached by a man with a camera.

The man, revealed to be film director P.P. Abraham, tells Fuyuki that everything is part of a movie, which he ends up having to actually film after Hikaru and the others try to play along. As Abraham, who reveals himself to be an alien in disguise, states that Lala and the others will be sent home for breaking space laws, Hikaru vows to make his movie a success in exchange for letting them stay. Although the girls initially struggle with following the script, Hikaru and Lala's honest feelings over not wanting to part with each other moves Abraham. Just then, Eyeone uses a Dark Pen on Abraham to summon a Notrigger, but the Cures manage to defeat it. Moved by Hikaru's friendship, Abraham allows Lala to stay on Earth, giving her the Earth name Lala Hagoromo.

Lala begins attending Hikaru's school, where she struggles with all the things she can't learn without an AI. Worried that her behavior and way of talking will cause her classmates to think she and her friends are weird, Lala brings her AI with her the next day to try and fit in more. Quick to notice that Lala isn't enjoying herself this way, Hikaru and the others bring her to school on a day off to remind her to be herself. Kappard them suddenly attacks, targeting one of Lala's classmates to power up his weapon, but the Cures manage to beat him and protect the school. Afterwards, Lala manages to become friends with her classmates just by being who she is.

The girls come over to Elena's house and are introduced to her family, learning about their Mexican heritage and their love of song and dance. However, Elena's brother Touma gets upset and runs off the next day, believing that his family is weird. Catching up to Touma, Lala teaches him that the ways different cultures act isn't inherently weird. Just then, Tenjou, who has retrieved the Scorpio Star Color Pen, appears and transforms Touma into a giant Notray. Stating her love for her family despite its weirdness, Elena manages to recover the Scorpio pen and rescue Touma, reviving the Scorpio Star Princess in the process.

The girl's search for the Sagittarius Color Pen leads them to an auction on Planet Zenny, which they manage to attend thanks to an invitation by space idol Mao. When the pen is put up as an auction item, Madoka uses donuts brought in by Pruns as currency to win the audition. However, the pen gets stolen by Mao, whose true identity is revealed to be that of the space phantom thief Blue Cat. When Eyeone appears with another Notrigger, Blue Cat decides to give the pen to Madoka so the Cures can defeat it and revive the Sagittarius Star Princess.

Madoka takes part in the finals of the national archery tournament, determined to succeed for her father's sake. However, she is pressured by rival archer Yumika Nasu, who claims that spending time with her friends has made her weak. Wanting to help her, Hikaru and the others make matching Fortune Capsule charms to encourage her. Just then, Yumika, who was actually just feeling lonely, is turned into a Notrigger by Eyeone, but the Cures manage to defeat it and rescue her. Afterwards, Madoka's support from her friends allows her to beat Yumika and win the tournament.

The girls return to Planet Zenny in order to retrieve the Virgo Color Pen when they run into Blue Cat, who was planning on robbing the house of the rich celebrity, Dramus, which just so happens to be the location of the pen. The girls work with Blue Cat as Dramus puts them through several traps within his house in order to take the rest of the pens, but Blue Cat's intellectual nature helps them reach his lair of treasures. As Blue Cat is mesmerized by the treasures of Planet Rainbow, Dramus attempts to destroy them but the Cures vow to protect them. Kappard suddenly appears and tries to steal the pen by targeting Dramus to power up his weapon, but Blue Cat distracts him, allowing the Cures to defeat him. A grateful Dramus allows the pen to go with the Cures and they revive the Virgo Star Princess. But unbeknownst to them, Blue Cat is revealed to have an agenda regarding the Star Color Pens.

Hikaru's mother Terumi, who works as a manga artist, is chosen to draw one-shot manga for a magazine with the hopes of getting serialized. As Hikaru and the others decide to help Terumi out as her assistants, Terumi's editor pushes her to draw a romance manga, feeling sci-fi or fantasy, the genres she excels at, won't sell. Although Terumi manages to finish the one-shot on time, she becomes downhearted upon learning it is being poorly received by the publisher, leading her to become targeted by Tenjou and turned into a Notray. Remembering the fantasy manga that Terumi drew for her as a child, Hikaru rescues Terumi and encourages her to aim for serialization with a fantasy story. Meanwhile, Blue Cat manages to get ahold of a Star Color Pen.

The girls arrive on Planet Rainbow and find its feline denizens petrified before finding Blue Cat's treasure stash where a Star Color Pen awaits. But are soon followed by Eyeone, who reveals herself to have turned the planet's citizens to stone while experimenting with the Aries Dark Pen. Eyeone manages to capture Fuwa in the battle that followed, Fuwa smelling a familiar scent from Eyeone's butler Bakenyan. It is then that Bakenyan reveals himself to be Blue Cat in disguise, the thief revealing herself to be a resident of Rainbow who infiltrated the Notraiders to steal the Star Color Pens from them. A furious Eyeone uses a Dark Pen to turn one of the petrified citizens into a Notrigger, leading Lala to deduce that they still possess hearts and can be restored as Blue Cat uses a flash grenade to keep Eyeone from stealing the Gemini Star Color Pen. The Cures defeat the Notrigger and revive the Gemini Star Princess sisters, offering to help Blue Cat. However, believing they lack the ability to, Blue Cat uses a smoke pen to run off with Fuwa and Cures' Star Color Pens as she believes they can allow her restore her ruined world.

The Cures catch up to Blue Cat as she reveals her true form as a transforming cat alien, revealing how she learned that the Star Color Princesses' power combined with Fuwa would unleash a great power that she wished to use to restore her people. Just then, however, the group finds themselves attacked by a vengeful Eyeone after she turns herself into a Notrigger. Seeing the Cures risking their own lives to protect her even after everything she had done, Blue Cat's desire to save them causes her to gain the power to become Cure Cosmo.
