Fushigi Yûgi - The Mysterious Play (1995–2002): Season 1, Episode 2 - Priestess of Suzaku - full transcript
One day, the Lady Miaka Yuki,
a middle school senior...
...accompanied her schoolmate Yui to the library.
It was there that
she saw a vision...
...of a bird which seemed
to glow burning red.
Then, after wandering into a room...
...they found an ancient
Chinese book entitled...
..."The Universe of the
Four Gods" and began to read it.
The apparent magical
power of the book...
...suddenly transported
them both to an unknown land.
There, they met a boy who carried
the mark of ogre upon his forehead.
Later, searching for Yui after they were separated...
...the Lady Miaka wandered
into the capital of Konan.
Just when she faced danger again,
the boy reappeared to save her.
But the Lady Miaka
was completely unaware...
...that Yui had already
returned to their world.
I thought it was you.
What are you doing here?
This place can be really dangerous--
I... I was scared...
I was so scared!
Relax.
I took care of those guys.
It's all right now,
so cheer up.
Oh, yeah. I heard you were looking for me.
Yeah...
Do you know where Yui is?!
Yui?
You know, the girl
who was with me.
You took her with you!
Do you know where she is?
Oh, HER!
I have no idea.
See ya!
Hold it!
How dare you make fun of
someone asking a serious question!
I'm not letting go till you give me a clue!
All right! All right!
You'll really tell me?
Yeah, yeah.
Then tell me! Where's Yui?!
How should I know?
{\pos(270,472)}You...! Come back here!
Stop!
Now wait just a minute! First of
all, aren't you at all concerned?
A girl on her own gets
separated from her friend...
...and is wandering around in
a totally unfamiliar place!
Oh, you...! Are you listening?!
Aren't you gonna say "Right, I see.
Just leave this to me!" ?!
Look how I'm begging you!
You call yourself a man?!
Jeez, you just don't
shut up, do you?
You have no money and no right
to act so high and mighty!
If you want somebody to do something
For you, you gotta pay for it.
Come on, pay me some money.
You... All you talk about is money.
Is that all that's important to you?
Yeah, it is.
Did you...?! Did you sell Yui into slavery?!
I don't believe it!
How could you sell a girl?!
Hey!
{\pos(315,475)}Shut up, you villain!
You fiend! You beast!
Who are you calling a beast?!
Get away from me, you slave trader!
What?!
Hey! That guy's a slave trader!
He must be trouble.
Everyone, stay away from him!
Low life!
Really!
The world's going to hell.
Everyone! Listen to me--
What are you saying? Gee,
I can't take you anywhere, can I ?
Well? Have you decided
to help me look for Yui?
Would you cut it out?!
Oh-ho! Then maybe I should tell
everyone about your business again.
Are you threatening me?!
I'm not a slave trader!
I know.
You WHAT?!
What's the big idea?!
That hurt!
Payback!
You're cruel! I don't know anyone
here! I have no one to turn to!
I have to...
I have to find Yui fast!
Don't you feel sorry for her?
Hey...
Jeez... I'm not playing games here.
It's not easy to find someone.
What's that?
The emperor's procession.
The emperor?
Yeah. Inside that fancy caravan
is the emperor of Konan.
Wow, it's so pretty...
Man, that crown on his head...
No, if only I had just one
ornament off of that crown...
Is the emperor rich?
That's obvious, isn't it?
Is he nice?
{\pos(287,474)}Well, I haven't
heard that he's bad.
Hey! I'm going to ask
the emperor for a favor!
I'll ask him for an
ornament off his crown.
Then we can both look
for Yui together!
- Promise me!
- Sure thing.
Hey, Your Highness!
That's the emperor in there, right?
- Who are you?
- Oh, me? I'm a nobody.
I just have a favor to ask.
Is she...?!
Could I please have an
ornament off of your crown?
THAT IDIOT!
Come on, you're rich, right?
You can spare one. Please?
Uh-oh!
Ow! Oh...
You little...!
For your unforgivable rudeness to
His Highness, you will be punished!
{\pos(288,475)}Hold still while I cut your head off!.
Huh? Why? What did I do
to get my head cut off?
I don't have to answer you!
What's goin' on?!
I can't see anything!
Are you stupid?! You wanna get
killed doing something like that?!
But...!
All right, just don't cry!
Since you had the guts to do that...
...I'll help you find your friend.
What? You... You will?
Yeah. My name's Sou Kishuku,
but everyone calls me Tamahome.
Tamahome?
My name's Miaka Yuki.
But I can't repay you.
Don't worry.
I'll take my payment now.
There they are!
You fools! Prepare to die!
You...!
{\pos(431,475)}Get His Highness' caravan out of here!
Hurry!
Wait.
- What's all this uproar?
- It's that girl from before.
She suddenly began to
give off a red light!
A red light?
Look! The girl's disappearing!
What is this?
"The girl was surrounded by
the red light and vanished..."
Yui... It's Yui!
This is the library!
Oh, thank goodness!
You made it back ahead of me.
Please, Yui! Notice me!
Yui! Yui!
YUI!
- Guard!
- Highness!
Seize the girl and that boy at once.
Miaka... You...
"By order of the emperor,
the girl and the boy..."
"...were captured
and thrown into prison."
Yui! Yui, you got back!
Miaka, you were going to take
the Jonan entrance exam with me.
But you have no chance.
Mom?
No, you have no chance, Miaka.
Mom, wait! Don't go!
Are you all right?
Pervert!
What?!
You're the one who grabbed me!
Oh, yeah. We were captured
by those Konan soldiers.
What, are you still half-asleep?
You're sure calm about
getting thrown into a dungeon!
Besides, who are you exactly?
What was that light you gave off?
Well, you don't have to
tell me if you don't want to.
Yui... Yui went back home...
Yui was the other girl, right?
But I didn't make it back...
Don't cry. I'll find some way
to get you back. Don't worry.
- Really?
- Well, I was already paid for it.
Idiot...
Highness, the boy and the
girl must be put to death!
They say the girl gave off a
strange light and vanished!
They may be demons!
Highness, give the order!
Wait, please. That girl was
dressed in foreign clothing.
Don't you think there may
be something more to this?
B- But...!
I have an idea that the girl...
She may be the Priestess of Suzaku.
The Priestess of Suzaku?!
You mean the girl
from the legend, Highness?
Yes.
Oh, and on top of everything, I'm really hungry.
I'm so hungry...
I'm in luck! Gum! This should
help calm down my stomach.
Hey, girl! What did you
just put in your mouth?!
Show me what you have
in your mouth right now!
What this? What a pain...
Get away! That's disgusting!
A ghost!
Who are you calling a ghost?!
Whoops!
These should do the trick!
Hey, that was quick thinking.
Really? Thanks!
A... A monster! Help!
Oh, I'm getting it from everyone!
Are you sure I can have
this incredible stuff?
No take-backs, okay?
What are you talking about?!
You're so stingy about
a couple of pieces of gum!
Uh-oh! Someone's coming!
- What are you doing?!
- What about you?!
Jeez!
Darn it, I sure chose the
wrong guy to ask for help from!
- Miaka.
- What?
Look at that.
That's... That's the bird
I saw drawn in the book!
It's Suzaku.
Suzaku?
There's one guardian god each for
the North, South, East, and West.
The god who protects
the East is Seiryu.
The god who protects
the North is Genbu.
The god who protects
the West is Byakko.
And the god who protects
the South is Suzaku.
Suzaku is the guardian
deity of Konan.
Of course, the other 3 gods are
worshipped in the other lands.
Well, first of all, we should
see about getting out of here.
Right, Miaka?
Hey, Miaka?
Where'd you go, Miaka? Miaka!
Let's eat.
Oh, I'm stuffed!
I feel so much better now!
Wow, you gotta love how great
real Chinese cooking is!
By the way, Tamahome--
Oh, no! I got separated from
Tamahome! What'll I do?!
I don't know where to go!
I wandered all over here!
I'm lost!
What's wrong?
You're lost, aren't you?
The gate's over there.
You can get out.
Thanks.
{\pos(283,477)}You're the girl they captured before, aren't you?
Yikes...
It seems you are. Is it true
you were rude to His Highness?
What do you mean? I'm just a middle-
school student passing through.
Anyway, bye-bye!
Don't worry. I'm on your side.
I won't call the guards
afteryou. So, please relax.
R- Really?
Oh, that little idiot!
Where did she go?!
Uh-oh!
- Hey, hold it!
- Intruder!
Halt!
You want to find your friend?
He got thrown into
prison on my account.
If I don't get him out...
...I'll never be able to go back to my world.
"Your" world...?
Are you saying you're not from this
world and you came from another?
Yeah.
Oh, no! I just said something
weird she'll never believe.
What'll I do?
That's amazing!
How interesting!
Another world, you say?
That's just amazing!
Relax. My name is Hotohori.
{\pos(412,476)}Although I'm usually called by another name.
{\pos(422,478)}I'm Miaka Yuki.
You can just call me Miaka.
{\pos(382,477)}I'm pleased to have made friends with you.
Something wrong?
No, it's nothing.
It's just that you're so pretty, Hotohori.
Indeed, I am.
Come on, walk! Let's go!
Quickly! Hide!
C'mon, talk! Where's the girl?!
Where'd she go?!
You gonna talk?!
- I dunno!
- Still resisting us, huh?!
I can't tell you what I don't know!
Maybe she ran away while
you guys were chasing me!
- Why, you...!
- Wait!
Miaka!
Please don't hurt him!
Stay back, you idiot!
Miaka, what are you doing here?!
Because... Because
I couldn't just leave you!
Miaka!
Tamahome!
If you bastards lay a finger
on her, I'll make you sorry!
Silence! Silence, all of you!
No one will harm either of
these two without my orders!
Who the hell are you?
It... It's the emperor!
Really?
Hotohori's the emperor?
This young, beautiful woman?
You idiot!
The emperor's a man!
No way.
Shut up! Just bow, already!
Totally flat. Which means he's
got one of THOSE down there!
Don't think that far through!
Forgive me, Miaka.
I didn't mean to trick you.
I hid my identity because I
wanted to learn your intentions.
At the very least, you don't
appear to be enemies or demons.
Then you won't...?
No. We won't harm you.
However, I have a request.
Miaka, will you save Konan?
There is an ancient legend that says,
when the empire faces destruction...
...a single girl will
appear from another world...
...and she will gain the power
of Suzaku and save the empire.
{\pos(312,476)}Oh, no! That couldn't be me!
I'm just a middle school student!
An exam candidate!
I'm only here by mistake!
Well, then, wouldn't you
like the power of Suzaku?
Have you no wishes?
Wishes?
"This is the story of a
young girl who single-handedly... "
"...gathered the
Seven Stars of Suzaku... "
"...and gained the power to
make all her dreams come true. "
"The story itself
is an incantation... "
"...and whomever reads it gains
the main character's power... "
"...to have their wishes granted. "
Then, if I become the heroine of
"The Universe of the Four Gods"...
I can become the kind of girl
who looks good in tight dresses!
I can have any boy in school!
I can be strong enough to beat
up any bad guy I wanted to!
I can eat all my favorite foods every day!
Oh, yeah... And I can get into
any high school I wanted to!
{\pos(389,479)}Well? You can have the entire
world if you so wish it.
I'll do it!
I'll do it! I'll do it!
I'll be the Priestess of Suzaku!
I've been waiting for this role!
Listen to me, all of you!
This girl is the one who
shall gain the power of Suzaku!
She who shall save our empire, the
Priestess of Suzaku, has appeared!
"The girl took upon herself the
role of the Priestess of Suzaku. "
"Hundreds of courtiers formed
ranks before her and bowed low. "
The Lady Miaka, now proclaimed
as the Priestess of Suzaku...
...begins the search for the Seven
Celestial Warriors of Suzaku...
...in order to gain
the promised power.
Just then, the Lady
Miaka and Tamahome...
...trapped under
a collapsed gazebo...
...are rescued by
a beautiful young woman.
Next time,
"The Seven Stars of Suzaku."
The star of a
new legend is shining.
a middle school senior...
...accompanied her schoolmate Yui to the library.
It was there that
she saw a vision...
...of a bird which seemed

I've been waiting for this role!
Listen to me, all of you!
This girl is the one who
shall gain the power of Suzaku!
She who shall save our empire, the
Priestess of Suzaku, has appeared!
"The girl took upon herself the
role of the Priestess of Suzaku. "
"Hundreds of courtiers formed
ranks before her and bowed low. "
The Lady Miaka, now proclaimed
as the Priestess of Suzaku...
...begins the search for the Seven
Celestial Warriors of Suzaku...
...in order to gain
the promised power.
Just then, the Lady
Miaka and Tamahome...
...trapped under
a collapsed gazebo...
...are rescued by
a beautiful young woman.
Next time,
"The Seven Stars of Suzaku."
The star of a
new legend is shining.
