Nogo stole magical items known as Glitter Charms (キュアデコル, Kyua Dekoru, Cure Decors) in the hope of giving the universe its worst ending, but Jubiland's queen, Euphoria, uses the last of her energy to seal him away. When Nogo's minions try to revive him by harnessing negative energy from the people of Earth, Euphoria sends a pixie named Candy to search for the Glitter Force (Pretty Cure (プリキュア, PuriKyua) in Japan), a team of five magical girls with the power to fight against Nogo's minions.
