Fushigi Yûgi - The Mysterious Play (1995–2002): Season 1, Episode 3 - The Seven Stars of Suzaku - full transcript

The Lady Miaka Yuki was a typical...

...and ordinary
middle school senior.

However, due to the magical power of...

...the ancient Chinese book
"The Universe of the Four Gods"...

...she has been transported
to the capital of Konan...

...which is located
in a mysterious world.

Unknown to the Lady Miaka,
her schoolmate Yui...

...is now observing her by reading
"The Universe of the Four Gods."

After the Lady Miaka
met Tamahome...

...a boy who carried the mark
of ogre upon his forehead...

...they were captured by soldiers
by order of the emperor, Hotohori.



{\pos(397,473)}This girl is the one who
shall gain the power of Suzaku!

She who shall save our empire, the
Priestess of Suzaku, has appeared!

Thank you, O Priestess of Suzaku!

The Lady Miaka was the girl of
legend, the Priestess of Suzaku!

"Important Documents Reference Room"

"The girl had become the Priestess of Suzaku."

"The girl then fell asleep
in Konan palace and dreamed..."

Miaka! Miaka!

Miaka!

Miaka!

Big Brother...?

- Miaka!
- Big Brother!

I want to go home! Please, Big
Brother, take me back to our world!

Big Brother! Big Brother!



I'm not your big brother.

I said "I'm not your big brother."

Tamahome?!

What's the big idea, coming into
someone's room without asking?!

It's not like that!

I just came because I thought
you were feeling sad.

The emperor's worried about you.

The emperor?

{\pos(176,478)}I'm so beautiful I scare even myself.

You were worried about me?

Yeah.

Thanks.

They're talking about
you all over the empire.

Talking about me?

About how the Priestess
of Suzaku has appeared.

Thanks to that, I get to stay
in this incredible palace, too.

You don't have to go
out of your way for me.

I'm not lonely or anything.

My biggest concern right now is
just finding some clean underwear!

Stop trying to be so brave.

{\pos(251,475)}When you feel like crying, you should just cry.

Right...

And if you need a big brother,
I'll be one. On the house.

So warm...

By the way, I was thinking.

If you want to go
back to your world...

...shouldn't you get
the power of Suzaku?

I mean, if you get
the power of Suzaku...

...you can have any
wish granted, right?

Of course!

Hotohori!

- Miaka!
- Hotohori!

Miaka?

Hotohori?
Sorry, I mean, Your Highness.

You're looking well.

Forgive my absence, but I had to
attend to some political matters.

Oh, no. I understand.

How may I help you?

Well, you see, I'd like to ask
how to get the power of Suzaku.

The information on that
matter is written here.

You know what this is?

I don't know what's inside,
but I've seen it before.

It's "The Universe of the Four Gods".

- Yeah, that.
- What is it?

Lord Taiso...

Lord Taiso?

It's a book of prophecy that
was given to Lord Taiso...

...our first emperor, by Taiitsukun,
the controller of this world.

A book of prophecy?

The "Four Gods" are actually the
28 constellations in the sky...

...which are divided
into northern, southern...

...eastern, and western groups.

Among them is "Suzaku", the seven
constellations in the southern sky.

Each of them has its own name.

The names of the seven
constellations are:

Chichiri.

Tamahome.

Nuriko.

Hotohori.

Chiriko.

Tasuki.

Mitsukake.

They're called the seven constellations of Suzaku.

I am Hotohori, the sea serpent.

Tamahome, you are the crab,
one of the Suzaku Seven.

We must give our assistance to and
protect the Priestess of Suzaku.

"The Universe of the
Four Gods" is a story...

...about a girl who gains all
of the "Seven Stars of Suzaku"...

...and has all of her
dreams come true.

So, if we find five more people...

...with the names of the
constellations on their bodies...

...then all my dreams will come true?

But you apparently must find
the others on your own.

When the Suzaku Seven are assembled,
the power of Suzaku will appear.

Tamahome, did you know?

What?

{\pos(257,476)}That your name was one of the Seven Stars.

Yeah.

Did you, Hotohori--
Sorry, I mean, Your Highness?

Of course I knew.

Oh... So that's why
they've been so nice to me.

What's got you so down
all of a sudden?

Oh, nothing!

All right! Let's find those
last five as fast as we can!

Assemble the most gifted fighters
and scholars in the land!

Your Highness! Priestess of
Suzaku! As you have ordered...

...we assembled the greatest
warrior-scholars in the land!

Well done!

Anyone with a Chinese character on
his body, please raise your hand!

The character doesn't appear
just from your wanting it to.

Besides, they may not even
be aware of it themselves.

Anyway, lemme give
'em a little test.

I really hope the other 5
are all pretty girls!

Well, I hope the other 5
will all be handsome boys!

Let's go!

Tamahome, what did that demonstrate
other than your own strength?

Looks like I'm the only one
who can find the Suzaku Seven.

{\pos(242,473)}And how will you do it?

A truly strong man would
never do anything to a girl.

The same way a strong
dog never barks.

Now, watch and learn!

Lady Korin, let's go back.

If we're discovered,
we'll get in trouble!

Is that the infamous
Priestess of Suzaku?

Yes.

Not nobility, and yet so
close to the emperor...

And who is that man next to them?

{\pos(269,477)}That's Tamahome, one o Nthe Suzaku Seven...

...and the Priestess' protector.

Tamahome...

Okay, feel free!
Come and get me!

What's with you?!

We... We could never do anything
against the Priestess of Suzaku!

Oh, that's what you say...

...but you're really just scared
'cuz I'm from another world!

Do you really think you're that
bad?! Come on, you weaklings!

Are those beards and
armor just for show?!

You stupid, idiotic, dumb bells!

If you don't like what
I'm saying, come and get me!

You mixed bag of won-tons!

Who are you callin' a mixed bag of won-tons?!

What? They're all mad?

None of them are any of the Suzaku Seven!

{\pos(463,478)}Anybody'd get mad after
hearing that from her.

You don't try to actually
hurt a girl, you idiots!

Miaka!
Get out of there, now!

Miaka!

"The Priestess of Suzaku was buried
under the collapsing building."

Wh- What's happening?!

{\pos(426,474)}Ow! It feels like my leg's hurt.

But thank goodness.
It looks like I'm still alive.

Could that be it?!

"The blood from the Priestess
of Suzaku's wounded leg..."

"...left a bright stain
upon her clothing."

Whatever happens to the Priestess
of Suzaku happens to me as well!

Hurry up and get
that rubble moved!

Your Highness, please move!

This is no time to
be telling me that!

We're alerting the
soldiers right now!

{\pos(421,476)}We can't do this ourselves!

Never mind! I'll do it myself!.

Highness!

You can't hold this up all
by yourself!. Stop it!

You idiot, I said
I'd take care of you!

No matter when,
I will always protect you!

Miaka! Tamahome!

How could this have happened?!

Please leave this to me.

Damn it...! I can't hold it!

T- Tamahome!

Oh, you're actually alive.

Talk about dumb luck.

Who...?

Are you both all right?!

{\pos(448,476)}Well, I'm not all right, Your Highness.

Tamahome, you did a fine job of
protecting the Priestess of Suzaku!

Can I get some money for it?

You're completely impossible!

I don't care if you're my
protector! What if you'd died?!

Wh- What's with you?

I always do just
what I want to do.

Besides, you really
should thank me, Miaka.

Th- Thank you...

Still, that hurt like the devil!

Tamahome... Before...

For just a second,
you made my heart race.

That hurts!

The reason you've protected me up till now...

... was because I'm the Priestess of Suzaku.

Or was it because...?

Are you one of the royal consorts?

Yes.

That strength you
showed before. Are you...?

What are you doing?!

No, I mean...
Right here, you have...

Oh, you mean this?

My name is Korin, but I am also known as Nuriko.

You're one of the Suzaku Seven?!

You mean the third one is a girl?

{\pos(409,478)}Tamahome, what are
you so happy about?

Oh, nothin'...

This is great! I never expected
to find the third one so quickly!

Thanks for saving me!
How do you do? I'm Miaka Yuki!

The one I wanted to save...

...was this one.

T- TAMAHOME!

{\pos(412,475)}"The Priestess of Suzaku washed the
blood from her soiled clothes..."

It's finally out!

Blood is really hard to wash.

Ow!

{\pos(475,476)}Anyway, that girl, Nuriko...

What was she thinking,
doing that with Tamahome?!

It made my skin crawl!

Still, she's one of
the Suzaku Seven.

And I need all seven of them
if I want to get back home.

There's no other way to
get the power of Suzaku.

It may not be easy, but I have to
make friends with that Nuriko girl.

But how do I make
friends with her?

How DO I make friends with her?

Okay, once I wash my underwear, I'll go visit her.

Miaka!

You pervert!

No! I just wanted
a place to hide--

Nuriko?

Oh, dear! Miaka!
Terribly sorry about this.

{\pos(454,476)}He seems to be bashful about being alone with me.

Come along, Tama, dear.

What is with that girl?!

Why do I have to make friends
with a girl like that?!

There's no way I'll ever do it!

But if I don't make
friends with her...

...I'll never get
the power of Suzaku.

And if I don't get the power of
Suzaku, I'm in big trouble...

My maid? You want to take
my maid's place and serve me?

Y- Yeah.

Let me go, you...!
Cut it out already!

- Makes no difference to me.
- I'd be GLAD to help.

However!

Yes?

Make sure you don't come
between Tama dear and myself.

Come on, cut it out!

I wouldn't DREAM of
coming between you two.

What is with Tamahome?!

I will always protect you!

Oh, he's really one to talk!

- You adorable little...
- Quit it! Cut it out!

The idiot can't even
keep pace with Nuriko!

Miaka, come help me fix my hair.

R- Right!

Miaka, do you think my hair is pretty?

Oh, yes.

That hurts! Don't pull it!

{\pos(266,478)}There's dirt all over the floor.
Clean it up.

- Right.
- If you leave any, you get no dinner.

I just have to clean it, right?

What's this? It's still dirty!

What did you do?!

Oh, so sorry! My hand SLIPPED!

Tama, dear. Let's leave her
and get something to eat.

God, what a personality!

Quit picking on Miaka!

Tama, dear, what are
you angry about?

You and I are...!

You hate me?!

You hate me, don't you? You like
that girl more than you like me!

No, I didn't mean I hate you...

You really don't hate me?!

No...

I'm so happy!
Then you really do love me!

No, that's not what I meant...

You've made me so happy!

Ooh, how dare she do that!

- Ow!
- Tama, dear!

Nuriko...

She makes me so mad, but she
really seems to love Tamahome.

Tamahome!

What's with you? Wasn't the lovely
Nuriko fawning all over you?

I managed to escape
when she went out.

Lucky you, having a pretty
woman crazy about you!

Do you really mean that?

{\pos(302,472)}Do you really think
that makes me happy?

But... But...!

Tamahome!

You little dope. You shouldn't
be pushing that leg so much.

"The boy, Tamahome, was worried
about the wounded leg..."

"...of the Priestess of Suzaku,
and began to tend to it."

"His eyes, bright with concern..."

Hold still.

Sure.

Nuriko, the third
of the Suzaku Seven...

...refuses to leave Tamahome alone...

{\pos(424,475)}...filling the Lady Miaka with
jealousy deep inside her heart.

Meanwhile, Hotohori, unaware of
the love a woman holds for him...

{\pos(413,479)}...tells the Lady Miaka of his feelings for her.

Next time, "Missing Love".

They wander in the labyrinth of love.
