Narrator
Last time on Accepting Diversity Precure, Masaru was forced to face his weakness through community service at an orphanage. He wasn't sure whether he would be able to get through the three weeks there without hurting Tom's feelings, but with the help of Reiko showing him how to connect with others with empathy, things got better. Let's hope Masaru eventually becomes a more empathetic person!
Story
"How's Tom?" Madoka asked during morning break.
"He's well. He warmed up to me after one session," Masaru replied calmly.
"You're amazing. My buddy will probably be cowering in fear every session if I were you."
"You just need time to get better at this, just like me. I'm already better than when the Sakura season was at its peak."
"Haha. I like how you put that."
"Hey Yuyu, Rei, is there anything interesting going on in your lives?" Madoka asked again, stopping the girls from their game of cats cradle.
"Nothing much," Reiko replied. "Just a project about History I'm working on."
"Oh wow! What kind of project is that?"
"Art club stuff."
"What kind of history?"
"World War stuff."
"That's so cool. And Yuyu, you must be getting ready for another competition or recital."
"I'm already going for a zonal competition in a few days," Yuu admitted. "I'm just here chatting to avoid burnout. But other than piano, I'm also juggling studies, Precure and piano with physiotherapy."
"Wow!" Everyone chorused.
"Thanks, but it's not that great. Today is only my second session. I've always want to regain my ability to walk and I'm thirteen, so I've finally passed the criteria for physiotherapy!"
"That's great!"
"Thanks again..." In reality, Yuyu was having some doubts. She hasn't been able to make much progress as she would only be starting with moving her feet that session.
Later that day
Physiotherapy session
"Good afternoon Yuyu!" Yuu's physiotherapist greeted. "Let's have another great session!"
"Thanks!" Yuu responded.
"No problem. Shall we practice what we did last week?"
"Ok!"
"Let's stretch your feet and slowly move every toe one by one." With Yuu's physiotherapist patience, Yuu was able to wiggle each and every one of her toes.
"Very good! You have been practising at home!"
"Thanks!" Yuu flushed because of her mentor's intimate ways of engaging her.
"Don't be shy. Today, we are going to start moving your feet. I'll help you to the mat." Yuu's physiotherapist guided her to the mat and stretched her feet out for her.
"Ok, to get your feet moving, let's start with pointing and flexing." She then started by showing with her hands what is pointing and flexing before playing some of Yuu's favourite music and demonstrating.
Yuu's feet were stubbornly stuck in its place for the most part. When it did move, it made the smallest movement to the point neither client nor therapist could see it moved. By the end the music ended, Yuu only managed to make one 14 degree point.
Yuu sighed in frustration but the therapist put a reassuring hand on Yuu's shoulder. "14 degrees for a start is good," her therapist said soothingly. "Don't worry, every person that starts walking again always struggles with this. But those that get past pointing and flexing make a lot of progress after that."
"Really? Then can I do this for the rest of this session?" Yuu responded with excitement.
"Sure dear. As I always said, practice makes perfect." She then looped the music and Yuu continued pointing and flexing her feet. Yuu watched her feet, focusing all her energy on her feet. At the end of the session, Yuu was able to make 35 degree points and 5 degree flexes.
By then, Yuu was bent over and panting. To her surprise, her physiotherapist helped her while gushing over Yuu's learning attitude and progress. Yuu blushed madly, knowing she has yet to make enough progress to reach her friends.
Narrator
Aw Yuu... you don't have to be hard on yourself. Someone that has always been able to walk has expectations different from someone regaining the ability to walk. If you work hard enough, you can be walking again in no time. I just hope you know who won't end up crushing her spirits again.
SHE'S THE VICTIM OF CRUSHED SPIRITS BY FOREIGNERS!!
Story
Ijime-O looked at the tablet and saw Yuu doing her best at physiotherapy. He sighed and mumbled, "Why do your best when you can mope around that you can't walk? I'll make sure you do!"
(Cut to outside hospital room)
Yuu sighed while wheeling herself home. "This isn't good...I didn't make much progress unlike last session..." she mumbled.
"Oh kitty cat, is that what's troubling you?" Ijime-O said slyly.
"Ijime-O?"
"Haha, that's right! I think your differences suck! Go, Sabetsuta!"
"Sabetsuta!" The sabetsuta echoed.
Yuu gasped and was paralysed on the spot. All of a sudden, all her friends rushed to her side.
"Everyone! Where have you been?" Yuu asked in excitement relief.
"Mado-Chan stayed back for entrance exam lessons and Rei and I just finished club," Masaru replied bluntly.
"That's a relief! Thank you! Let's transform before he gets us!"
Transformation
Locking the InfiniJewels into the InfiniMo, Masaru removed his glasses while Reiko took off her headband. Yuu sprung out from her wheelchair and slowly saw herself stand in the presence of gravity in the first time. She then looked up to the sky and the InfiniMo and InfiniJewel came to her hands. Tapping their shoulders next to one another, they chorused, "Precure, accept my difference!"
Waving her phone in the air, Yuu released it before curling up into a ball, gaining her green dress. She admired her feet as if taking in the fact she can walk again, before clasping her hands and closing her eyes. Masaru and Reiko then went back to each other and bumped each other's heads for their new hairstyle. The trio's InfiniMos went to the side of their outfit, their weapons were summoned and landed on their hands and the trio jumped down to pose.
Madoka swiped the brush across the makeup pad. She did her eyeshadow before opening her eyes and screamed, "Precure, make my difference!"
Throwing the makeup brush into the air, Madoka then threw her glasses away. In the process, she picked up some eyeshadow and placed it on her lips, before swiping the lipstick away. This formed her gloves.
Looking up, Madoka swiped her fingers across her shoulders, forming her crop top. She sent the magical power to her legs, forming her new skirt and heels. To top it off, Madoka curled herself into a ball and gained pigtails. Her makeup mirror was kept at the side before she joined her juniors in a pose.
"Embracing everyone for their true selves, I'm Cure Embrace!"
"Respecting others for their strengths, I'm Cure Respect!"
"Uniting love and peace once more, I'm Cure Harmony!"
"I'll accept you no matter what! I'm Cure Accepting!"
"Three plus one is more than four! That's what differences do! Go, Accepting Diversity Precure!"
Story
"Come on, Sabetsuta! Get these Precure bummers down!" Ijime-O screamed.
"SA-BE-TSU-TA!" The sabetsuta echoed.
Without giving much thought, Madoka flashed her fingers in front of her, and her nails coloured on its own. Extending her hands, she let light fly out on its own and wrapped the light around the villains, all while screaming, "Precure, Lilac Nails Wrapping!" However, the Sabetsuta broke free from the light.
Like clockwork, Masaru and Reiko looked at each other and nodded. They had another idea.
Attack
Taking out the InfiniMo from her skirt, Reiko held the InfiniMo in her hand. Masaru inserted the Spectrum Wing Jewel into the InfiniMo hole, and Reiko released it.
Standing together, the duo put their hands together and raised it together. "Accepting ourselves and each others for who we are! Spectrum Colourful Splash!" The duo chorused. However, the light was broken by the villains' brute force.
Story
"Tsk, you have been fighting as Precure for months! And you still don't know what kind of attacks to use against us?" Ijime-O said condescendingly.
"Precure, Lightning Attack!" A shrill scream echoed, and Madoka, Masaru and Reiko looked up, only to see Yuu levitating in the sky.
"I may not be like my friends who have been able to walk all their lives," Yuu confessed. "But I'm not going to let you lay a finger on them. I know Masaru, Madoka and Reiko did nothing wrong. They are good people at heart."
"Yuyu..." Reiko whispered, touched by her friend's words.
"And don't think I'll be going easy on you, Ijime-O. I think I trusted you too much. I'll be walking on my without the need of transforming in no time." In no time, Yuu's body instantly flowed and she was nowhere to be seen.
Magical portal
In the magical portal, Yuu realised she was levitating with a green starry sky surrounding her. Before she could comment on its beauty, the True Clarity Jewel appeared in front of her.
Trapped in a room with no idea what to do with the True Clarity Jewel, Yuu screamed for her friends, who were instantly connected to invisible wireless mics. "Yuyu, it's like your attack! Just insert your True Clarity Jewel into the InfiniMo to attack!"
"I see, thanks!"
Attack
Placing her InfiniJewel into her InfiniMo, Yuu released it and put her hands on her chest. She said, "Precure, accept my difference!" and that was all it took to get her next upgrade.
Putting her hands in front of her chest, she gathered enough light to form a medium sized ball. She then placed it on her hands and brought it back. As she prepared to throw it, she screamed, "I'm throwing my change to your face! Precure, Harmony Throw!" She hurled the ball into the Sabetsuta's face, only to whack it and knock it out.
Story
The Makeup Kit Jewel fell from the sky. Yuu kept it and promised herself to pass it to Reiko the next day before detransforming.
"So how were your after school activities today?" Yuu asked.
"They went smoothly!" Everyone chorused.
Yuu smiled.
"How was your physiotherapy today, Yuyu?" Reiko asked out of curiosity.
"It's good! I can move my feet a little now!" Yuu showed the team her new skills, and everyone gushed over it, praising her for her talent but Yuu denied it, claiming it was hard work.
Epilogue
The following week
"Good afternoon, Yuyu!" Her therapist greeted. "Let's see how has it been moving your feet."
She got Yuu to the mat and ask her to show Yuu her progress. To her pleasant surprise, Yuu managed to perform perfect flexes and points!
"That's quite some practice you did! Now, today, we are going to practise moving the entire part of the lower limbs. Are you ready?"
"I sure am!"
