Now on a mission to save her homeland, she traverses the magical fantasy world as she makes new friends and faces old enemies. But when someone starts to mysteriously help them despite her body being dead, will everyone even realize the good (and bad) consequences that are being made? One evil pony might even also realize the error of the bad ways she's making...

### Akire's chapter (Volume 121~140)

This chapter follows Addison Flamedrop's journey across the Isshu region, with the dream of conquering the Pokémon League and becoming the Pokémon Champion. She is joined by her childhood friends Churīppu Bel, a hyperactive girl who really needs to find a goal in life, and Harukabune Cheren, a boy who can be very snarky at times. The trio also meet new friends and form the Hoshizora Hero Club but are unaware they are Harmony Warriors chosen by not just the Magic of Friendship, but maybe also something else out there. How come Akire wants to learn about the original Multiverse anyways...?

### Nonomi's chapter (Volume 141~170)

Deijī Nonomi and Marīna, two girls from Aspertia City in Isshu, have decided to begin a new journey, starting fresh due to having been reborn. They meet more friends, most of them who look familiar at first glance. Meanwhile, Pourtaa Jotaro also decides to join the adventure, wanting to go out more than most people...especially at a first glance. Later on, in the midst of all these events, the Deijī Sisters happily welcome Gekai Niku into their family, but during one certain mission, something goes very wrong.

### Yuuna's chapter (Volume 171~180)

A week after Nonomi and friends, including newly reunited Akire, Bel and Cheren, start following their own dreams, four (later five and then six) girls start to get whisked away to battles with new monsters. However, one of them, Yuuki Yuuna, is very special compared to others...

### Sumi's chapter (Volume 181~188)

Washio Sumi, Nogi Sonoko and Minowa Gin are seemingly normal girls enrolled in the Stration City Trainer's School. However, they are actually chosen by the Magic of Friendship to be Harmony Warriors and have to protect their city from enemies. Little do they know, one major battle on a certain day would change everything forever.

### Shiho's chapter (Volume 189~210)

This chapter is about the adventures of Amber Witchhazel and her friends, who are trying to have fun on their journey together. When something goes wrong on a fateful mission, Shiho, her friends and all the other heroes soon clash with the Oculus Lord once more, but this time, no life-ending wishes are allowed...which may actually be a good thing after Shiho realizes that something else, the Rainbow of Light, was supposed to have defeated it in the original Multiverse!

### Heroes' chapter (Volume 211~220)

The children of the Hoshizora Hero Club get together and also meet up with Hoshitsuki Mizuki, the Hololives, the other Starlight Guilders, and even an odd girl out with no memories: the Hololive founder Tokino Sora! But Brissuna and Evelyn grow deeply troubled as it occurs to them that something very precious is missing from their group. What has happened to them, why is everyone having such a hard time remembering anything...and how come Nonomi even wants to make up for her mistake should they face E.N.D again...?!

### Great Blossom's chapter (Volume 221~270)

*Not much is currently known, except that it is almost fully based on YuYuYu3. It also takes place in the real world, before the Let's Play! Shiny Bond manga.*

## Characters

*Cheerful-chan will fill this out when she has time.*

## Differences from the anime and games

* Like the games, Dream Phones are used instead of the usual transformation items.
* All of the magical teams are, like the games, combined into the Hoshizora Hero Club. The only exception (at first) is the Starlight Guilders.
* When Necrosis permanently becomes Niku, she is inexplicably wearing a green dress after being turned into a human, much like Asumi in *Healin' Good Pretty Cure* after she is created and Laura inexplicably gaining a skirt after gaining legs in *Tropical Rouge Pretty Cure*. In the anime, the heroes had to go shopping offscreen and get her an outfit due the transformation induced by Angel Wing's powers being powerful enough to cause the clothing she wears as Necrosis to disintegrate. Like the anime, however, she doesn't have glasses at first and gets them offscreen in the next scene.
* Bel starts wearing Cheren's red glasses in season 4 of the anime and Cheren starts using eye contacts in the same season while this change doesn't happen in the manga until Bel's first eyesight sange wears off (despite leaving her nearly semi-blind anyways), but in SBTG, this change doesn't even happen until the two year timeskip.
* Ninja Dragonets' nicknames are much more diverse than just food names, sometimes even resembling pony names, although more diverse nicknames are seen later on in the anime as well.

## Trivia

* An alternative prologue version of Mizuki's chapter has prototype designs that never made it to the final version.
