Amu Hinamori is an elementary school student that seems to change personalities depending on who she's around. She's always been the type to do what everyone else wants, but she really wants to be able to be herself. One day, she wishes for the courage to be her true self and finds three colorful eggs the next morning. As it turns out, these eggs hatch into her guardian characters, Ran, Miki, and Su, who help her gain confidence and embrace her true self.
In episode six of Shugo Chara!, titled "Character Transformation! Amulet Spade!," Amu and her friends are putting together the cultural festival for their school. Amu is in charge of creating a maze, but things aren't going as planned. She's having trouble with the design and keeping everyone focused.
While struggling with the maze, Amu decides to take a break and go see some puppet show performances. There, she meets a girl named Lulu De Morcerf, who has her own guardian character, Nana. Lulu seems to be flirting with Amu's friend, Tadase, but Amu has other worries. She sees that a group is bullying a smaller kid, and she wants to do something about it.
Lulu notices that Amu is upset and decides to offer her some unwanted advice. She tells Amu that the world would be better if everyone was obedient, and that it's a shame Amu is so self-centered. Amu is taken aback by this comment and lashes out at Lulu, telling her that there's nothing wrong with being true to yourself.
As it turns out, Lulu is part of an organization that wants to destroy the world's dreams. She's been tasked with finding and extracting the embryo, a powerful object that can grant wishes. Lulu believes that destroying dreams will make the world a better place. Amu tries to argue with Lulu, but she's interrupted by the bullies, who are back and ready to cause more trouble.
Amu's guardian characters, Ran, Miki, and Su, sense that their owner is in danger and start to push out of their eggs. Amu is able to transform with their help into her new self, Amulet Spade. As Amulet Spade, Amu is able to see the true form of the bullies, who are actually under the spell of some dark force. She's able to defeat the dark force and turn the bullies back to normal.
After the fight, Lulu covers up the situation by telling everyone that Amu was telling a story. She tells Amu that she wants to be her friend, but Amu is hesitant. She doesn't trust Lulu and feels like there's something off about her.
At the end of the episode, Amu is able to finish the maze and impress everyone with her hard work. Lulu is off to do more work for her organization, but she seems to have taken an interest in Amu. The episode ends with the promise of more adventures to come.
Overall, episode six of Shugo Chara! is an exciting installment in the series. Amu is able to fully embrace her true self and fight for what's right against the odds. The introduction of Lulu adds a new layer of depth to the story, as it's clear that she's not someone to be trusted. The episode also introduces Amulet Spade, Amu's new transformation, which is sure to have more exciting battles in the future.
