Magic Knight Rayearth (1994–1995): Season 1, Episode 11 - Isekai Sefiro no Mashin Densetsu - full transcript

Three junior high school girls, Hikaru
Shidou, Umi Ryuuzaki and Fuu Hououji

have been summoned by Princess
Emeraude to become the Magic Knights

and save an alternate
world called Cephiro.

As a result of High
Priest Zagato imprisoning

Princess Emeraude,
the Pillar of the land,

Cephiro has become a world of terror.
A world where monsters freely roam.

In order to return to
Tokyo, the three must

ultimately defeat the
immensely powerful Zagato,

and rescue Princess Emeraude.

To accomplish this, Hikaru
and her companions learned

that they would first need
to revive the Rune God,



and become the Magic Knights.

The girls succeeded in reviving Selece,
the Rune God in an underwater shrine,

after defeating Ascot,
a minion of Lord Zagato.

The Legend of the Rune
God in a World Called Cephiro.

I wonder where
this is taking us.

Oh, I'm sure it's taking us where
Princess Emeraude is being held captive.

Puu puu, puu puu!

So we can return to
Tokyo any day now!

That theory simply does
not sound correct, Miss Umi.

We first must rescue Princess
Emeraude, then we must save Cephiro.

[Frustrated groan] Do you really
have to sound like my English teacher?

I wonder... have we already
become Magic Knights?

[Giggles] We'll we're certainly
getting closer every day!

With armor! And weapons! And
we've even got a Rune God! [Cackles]



You think so?

[Surprised gasp] Hey, look!

It's the same floating mountain that
we saw when we first came to Cephiro.

I wonder if that could be the place where
Princess Emeraude is being held prisoner.

Mokona, let's hurry!

What is it!?

[Lightning cracks]
[Alarmed shouts]

Mokona! What's going on?

Puu puu, puu-puu-puu-puu!

Look at that!

Who are you!?

I am the High Priest Zagato.

I never expected you to make it this
far. I commend you, Magic Knights.

High Priest Zagato!

But it's now time to end this.

[Thunder booms, magic hums]

[Frightened screams]

[Magic whoosh]

Huh!?

[Mirror cracking, shattering]

[Soft sobbing]

You saved the Magic
Knights, didn't you?

Stop it! Please, stop this! I don't
want anyone else to be sacrificed!

I wonder how far it
is to the next town.

By the way, it seems like everyone in
this whole town is depressed or something.

What's going on around here?

[Dejected sigh] The monsters
attack our town almost every day now.

And then there's...

There's what?

Nothing, never mind.

Huh!?

[Battle cry]

[Battle cry]

There's so many
monsters coming out.

This place is getting
a little out of control.

[Rain patters] Huh? Oh, great!

Oh, man. It sure wasn't like this when
Princess Emeraude ruled over the land.

But now even the weather's starting to act
really weird thanks to High Priest Zagato.

Huh?

[Magic hums] - Ferio.
- What!?

Ferio, I am Emeraude.

Ferio.

Princess Emeraude! I'll
come rescue you right now!

Just tell me where you are!

At the lake on the outskirts
of the Peerless Village.

The Magic Knights must be saved.

Please. Please save those
girls from another world.

[Frustrated gasp] Princess
Emeraude! Princess Emeraude!

The lake on the outskirts
of the Peerless Village.

This place?

[Magic hums] Huh?

What's this?

It's Fuu!

Come on, Fuu! Talk to me!

What are you doing here?

[Pained groans]

You stockpile all of these weapons, but
they're not for a revolt against Lord Zagato?

I... I swear it's true. These weapons
are only for fighting against monsters.

Not for a revolt
against Lord Zagato.

These lame excuses
won't work with me.

- But, we'd never...
- However.

You scratch my back
and I'll scratch yours.

What do you want?

Money! What else? You just
have to pay up and.... hmm?

I changed my mind.

If ya'll kill those strangers out
there, I won't tell Lord Zagato.

Strangers?

Those three girls that are
just now entering your village.

Huh?

I can't do that! They're
nothing more than children.

Are you defyin' me?

I must. Even if it's to save our village,
I can't take the lives of children.

You're startin' to annoy me.

Hmm!

[Confused groan]

- [Stabbing squelch]
- [Pained groan]

[Panicked chatter]

- The Mayor!
- Somebody do something!

If ya'll don't want to end up like your
mayor here, I suggest you kill those three.

You got it?

[Assenting murmur]

Well, am I just a
lucky girl or what?

To have those Magic Knights that defeated
poor little Ascot walk right into my hands?

Now I'll just watch how they
fight against these villagers.

Then I'll know their power.

Poor Sir Mokona doesn't seem
to be quite back to normal yet.

I wonder if he's alright.

Yeah.

Well, it's just like you guys to
go and find a Rune God already.

So how many did
you find, anyway?

- Huh!?
- You mean there's more than one Rune God!?

Well, yeah. I mean, didn't
Clef tell you about 'em?

Well, we didn't have much
time to talk when we first met.

When Cephiro faces times of crisis,
Magic Knights come from another world,

wielding swords of Escudo. They revive the
three Rune Gods and become Magic Knights.

This is a legend that's been
passed on for generations in Cephiro,

and it tells us there are three Rune Gods.
Now, how many did you manage to revive?

Just one I'm afraid.

I see. Just one for now.

You have got to be kidding!
You want us to look for two more?

Zagato will kill us before
we ever get that far!

Hold on, that sure doesn't sound like
you. What happened to your confidence?

You could never understand!
Zagato is so scary!

But you three are the only ones
who can save our Princess Emeraude!

It's gonna be alright,
we'll definitely save her.

And yet, we should not go
against Lord Zagato right now.

[Gasps] - Yeah, but Fuu!
- Come on!

We cannot hope to defeat
Zagato at this time. We

must hope our armor and
weapons evolve further.

And just what are you
gonna do if they don't evolve?

Everything will be for
nothing if all of us die!

I understand you're friends of
Mister Ferio here. [Nervous laughter]

Hey, this stuff
looks pretty good.

Fuu, let me try some of yours.

Don't!

Now why can't I have
something to drink, too?

Because...

Because there's
poison in it, am I right?

[Door bangs open] Huh?

[Startled gasps]

[Battle cry, surprised gasps]

[Battle cry, strained grunt]

[Grunts]

Don't hurt them!

These people are
not Zagato's minions!

[Battle cry]

So what do we
do!? [Startled shout]

Follow my lead!

[Alarmed shout]

All of you, call off your attack right now!
Or else, I promise you, I will kill him!

[Alarmed chatter]
- [Girls] Ferio!

Why are you attacking us?

This wasn't supposed
to involve you!

But our entire village will be destroyed if
we don't kill those three girls over there.

Who's gonna try
something like that!?

One of Zagato's minions.
Her name is Caldina.

Caldina? Oh, I see. I guess
we'll just have to take care of her.

There is no way
you could do that!

Hey, it's not a problem. These girls have
been able to handle Zagato's minions so far.

Hah, it's fine for you! Because
you can always run if you should fail!

To all of us here, this
village is our home.

After you run away
we'll all be left here to die.

[Sobs]

Can we not find a way that you
could somehow just let us go?

You could say
you couldn't find us.

No difference! If we fail, Caldina's
definitely going to kill us all!

Alright then. We won't
fight against Caldina.

Instead, we'll find some
other way to save everyone.

That's ridiculous!

Not if you do what
I tell you to do!

We could just go now and leave all
of you to suffer the consequences!

No, Ferio!

[Dejected sighs]

So what kind of
person is this Caldina?

"What kind of a person?" Well,
she seems very interested in money.

Money, huh?

Okay.

When I close that front door, immediately
leave from the back of this building.

It's not safe for
you to go alone.

She's right.

Yes, but if you go, it'll
definitely be a battle.

And if by chance we should
happen to let Caldina get

away, it'll be the villagers
who have to pay the price.

[Dejected sigh]

It'll be better if you're not there.
So you can just leave it all to me.

Why are you making this
sacrifice in order to save our lives?

Because Princess
Emeraude asked me to.

Oh...

But also... Because somehow
I think I fell in love with you.

[Surprised gasp]

Hmm?

I hope you'll excuse me.

That depends on what you want.

I'm here to provide you with
company while you're waiting.

I can't help feeling responsible
for starting this mess,

since I'm the one who brought
them here in the first place.

What in the world is this
nonsense you're talkin'?

Please.

Hmm?

I do believe it's money!

Money-money-money-money
money-money-money ohhhh!

Now if you're trying to bribe me,
I'll have you now it's not that easy.

A bribe? Oh no,
it's nothing like that.

I was just thinking
that to help pass the

time, you might want
to gamble while you wait.

Hmm? You're gonna regret it!

I'm pretty good with most any
kind of game that involves money.

Yeah?

[Door bangs shut]

That's the signal.
It's time to depart.

But Fuu, aren't you
worried about Ferio at all?

Yes, I am worried.

But we would be wasting what Ferio
has done for us if we don't escape.

Alright, Fuu.

Hmph.

Hmm.

My hand.

What!?

I believe that
this hand is mine.

Alright. But the game
has only just begun.

Hmm!

Wouldn't it be better
for you to just quit now?

Hey, if you feel like
quittin', just be my guest!

Well, I was only
concerned for your sake.

Alright, I accept the challenge.

[Door thumps]

- What's that!?
- Oh, come on. Let's play!

[Chuckles]

Okay, let's go!

See now, that's why I
tried to get you to quit.

[door opens] Huh? What now?

We've got trouble! Those
girls you want to kill ran away!

What's that!?

Why are you only
tellin' me this now?

But we tried to call you. We
banged on the door for you!

So, then it was you!

[Pained grunt]

This is your fault! It's
all your fault because

you're the one who brought
those three girls here!

Wait. Can't we find
a way to talk this out?

[Angry shout, dagger squelching]
[Pained groan]

[Surprised gasp]

[Pained groan]

[startled gasps,
frightened scream]

[Sobs]

Well then! Guess it's
best if I be going, ya'll!

I'm gonna take the gold
with me though, alright?

But I...

No, no! It's okay! Lets forget all
about the weapons and girls and such!

Bye, ya'll!

[Relieved sigh]

See! Didn't I
tell you it'd work!

[Strained groan]

Thank you so very
much for all your help.

[Short chuckle]

[Satisfied sigh]

- Hey!
- Hmm?

Did anything good happen today?

Listen up, Ascot.

I'm gonna get those girls
real soon, and when I do you

can go back to the castle
with your head held high.

I don't want to.

Now hush, child. You're
a talented kid and you

shouldn't be wasting
your life away like this.

Paa-padah-puuuuuuu.
Pa-puu, pa-puuuuu.

Fuu, what are we
supposed to do now?

It seems that there is
only one path we can take.

Even if we run,
Zagato will be after us.

Therefore the only way to go
against him is to grow stronger.

Huh, I wonder if we can grow
stronger than we already are.

Hmm?

It's gonna be alright! I'll make sure
we grow even stronger than Zagato,

and we'll save
everyone in Cephiro.

You're right. We have to keep
believing and continue to move forward.

Okay!

Oh, Ferio.

[Device chimes, hums]

Well, it worked!

Ferio! Ferio, you're alive!

Yeah, of course! You didn't
think I'd croak that easily, didya?

Give me a call sometime.

It's kind of sad if you only call
me because you need my help.

[Startled gasp]

Catch ya later!

Hey, Fuu! Your
face is awfully red.

[Startled shout]
Oh! Is it really now!?

Uh, let's get going, 'kay?

Uh! Wait up, Fuu!
This way, this way!

Oh! [Nervous laughter]

Who is it today?

Today, it is Miss Umi!

Hey everyone! Did you
guess right? I'll see ya later!
