Movie
Description
Vecchio Saggio, an elderly guardian, resides in the Garden of Clouds, a realm above the sky responsible for maintaining warmth and peace across all worlds. He serves as the appointed caretaker of the mythical phoenix Houou, whose life cycle ensures global harmony. When an aging Houou lays an egg, Vecchio Saggio and his companion, the giant flying squirrel Muta, must transport it to safety. During their journey, Vecchio Saggio accidentally drops the egg while dozing off, causing it to fall into the Garden of Rainbows (Earth).
After the egg hatches, the newborn Houou—named Hinata by Hikari—becomes targeted by the dark entities Freezen and Frozen, who seek to freeze all warmth and kindness. Vecchio Saggio and Muta descend to Earth to locate Hinata. Finding the chick, Vecchio Saggio reveals Hinata's true identity as Houou and explains the critical role Houou plays in sustaining life. He emphasizes that Hinata is not alone, as he and Muta are committed to protecting the phoenix, even at the cost of their lives.
To escape pursuit by Freezen and Frozen, Vecchio Saggio guides Nagisa, Honoka, Hikari, and Hinata to the Garden of Clouds using magical bean seeds. He chants the spell "Nyokinyoki Nororo" to grow a giant beanstalk and "Nyoronyoro Kyero" to make it disappear, demonstrating his knowledge of interdimensional travel. In the Garden of Clouds, he elaborates on the symbiotic relationship between Houou's existence and the world's warmth, reinforcing his role as both sage and guardian.
When Freezen and Frozen freeze the Garden of Clouds and capture Hinata, Vecchio Saggio aids Shiny Luminous in rescuing the phoenix. Remembering he carries additional bean seeds, he uses them to summon another beanstalk, enabling Luminous and Muta to reach the battlefield. This intervention allows Luminous to free Hinata and empowers the Pretty Cure duo to defeat the villains, underscoring Vecchio Saggio's unwavering dedication to Houou's survival and the preservation of peace.
Vecchio Saggio's character arc concludes with him and Muta resuming their duty to raise Hinata into a mature Houou, ensuring the continuity of warmth and balance across the worlds.
