Just then, the impish Gummy arrives, aiming to steal the "kirakiraru"—the magical essence in sweets that spreads happiness. At first, Ichika offers the cake to Gummy to protect Pekorin, but Pekorin teaches her that the cake's true value lies in the love and effort behind it. As the kirakiraru in the cake grows, it transforms into accessories that change Ichika into Cure Whip, a Pretty Cure hero. With her new abilities, she fights those who try to steal kirakiraru, defending the sweets of Ichigozaka and meeting vibrant new allies along the way.

Amid widening income inequality, escalating environmental harm, persistent garbage issues, a lack of childcare options, and widespread graft, the government has become trapped by special interests and can no longer respond to the growing discontent of the people. With Japan at a critical standstill, idols rise up as unexpected heroes. Coming from seven distinct idol political factions—the Heroine Party, Sunlight Party, Starlight Party, Bishoujo Party, Wakaba Party, Subculture New Party, and SOS Party—Diet members and local representatives who are all idols strive to restore the country through their singing and stage talents. Their goal is to rekindle hope and happiness in the hearts of the public, flooding Japan once more with energy and brightness.
