Magic Knight Rayearth (1994–1995): Season 1, Episode 16 - Kyoteki! Kentoshi Rafaga - full transcript

Please save us,
Legendary Magic Knights.

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.

Inouva has sworn undying
allegiance to High Priest Zagato,

who imprisoned
Princess Emeraude.

The three girls barely survived
Inouva's vicious attacks upon them,

and Fuu, with the help of her friends,
was able to acquire the Rune God of Wind,

called Windam.

And now the trio continue
their treacherous journey,

in search of the
remaining Rune God.



Because this world is
Cephiro, the land of the will.

A Powerful Foe!
Lafarga the Swordmaster

[Crying softly]

Hurry. Please come quickly.

Please hurry,
Legendary Magic Knights.

Please hurry
before it's too late.

[Cries softly]

Are you feeling any pain?

[Surprised gasp]

Won't you please stop?
Please stop this, Zagato.

If you continue, our
world will finally fall to ruins.

I'm afraid that my
heart is unchanged.

Even if all of Cephiro
crumbles to nothing.

Even if everyone in
this world were to die.



My heart will not waver.

Princess Emeraude.

[Startled gasp] Zagato.

Sea God Selece, Wind God Windam.

Two Rune Gods have
been awakened from their

slumber by those three
girls from another world.

Only one remains.

The scarlet Rune God that lies in
the Fire Shrine, has not been revived.

[Startled gasp] Oh, it's you!

Lafarga!

That's right.
Lafarga was the Captain of

the guards that
protected you in the castle.

Of course, when you were
the Pillar that supported Cephiro,

there was never much of anything
to protect you or the castle from.

Lafarga and the rest of
the guards were merely

employed to combat the
occasional monster or two.

And of course Lafarga was known as
the strongest swordsman here in Cephiro.

Do you think those
girls you summoned from

another world to
become the Magic Knights

would be able to stand
a chance against him?

No! Please, Lafarga!
You mustn't!

Your cries are useless.

[Startled gasp]

I have cast a spell on
Lafarga that controls his heart.

How?
How can you do such a cruel thing?

Please, Lafarga!
You must wake up right now!

Lafarga!

Go now, Lafarga.
And when you return, bring with you

the three corpses of the
Legendary Magic Knights.

You must not do it, Lafarga!

Lafarga!

[Singing happily in "puu"]

Are we going the
right way, Mokona?

[Continues singing in "puu"]

[Exhausted panting]

You can tell that we are now
reaching a much higher elevation,

because the air is
becoming so much thinner.

[Exhausted panting]

Hey Umi! Fuu!
You guys can't give up!

You actually still
have energy left?

Aren't you tired, Miss Hikaru?

Yeah, of course it's hard!

But what's driving
me on is that both you

guys were able to
revive Rune Gods already!

It's my turn to
find the Rune God!

I have to do my best so that I'll be
prepared when my time comes up.

Remember what Ferio said?

He said according to the
legends, there are three Rune Gods.

Three Rune Gods?

Oh yeah.
I guess that must mean there's

supposed to be one
Rune God for each of us.

In that case, I would expect
that the third Rune God

that we encounter would
be reserved for Miss Hikaru.

Yeah!
I'm totally sure that's right!

And that must be the reason
why Princess Emeraude

summoned the three
of us here to Cephiro.

Then all we need to
do is find the third Rune

God, and we can
become the Magic Knights!

As Miss Hikaru says, the three of
us must do our best and not give up.

- Let's go!
- Okay!

[Frightened "puu"s]

Is something wrong, Mokona?

Puu puu, puu-puu puu puu.

[Chewing squelches]

A monster!

Oh my gosh, it looks like it's
eating something down there!

[Menacing growl]

It seems that it's eating
some sort of animal.

Yeah, it looks like it.

[Angry growl]

And now it looks, as
though Mister Monster

might be getting ready
for his next course.

[Angry screech]

[Startled shouting]

[Battle yell, magic hums]

[Battle shout]

[Gas hisses] [Startled shout]

- Miss Hikaru!
- Hikaru!

[Pained groan] My... my eyes!

[Magic hums] Watch out, Hikaru!

[Battle shout]

[Angry screech]

This is one creepy creature!

Okay, let's finish this!

Umi, wait!
This one's really powerful!

[Fearsome screeching]

[Startled shout, groan]

[Alarmed shout, pained grunt]

- Miss Umi!
- Umi!

[Pained groaning]

[Alarmed shout]

[Frightened screams]

Umi, no!

- Flame Arro- - Wait!

You might hurt Miss Umi
if you use your magic now!

But uh...

We must bring that to Miss Umi.

Oh.

[Bubbles, splashes] [Magic hums]

Oh! Her sword!

What do you thinks going on?

We have no other choice.
[Magic hums]

Miss Umi! Use this!

[Strained grunt, Startled shout]

[Heavy panting] Umi!

[Menacing screech]

[Screeches]

[Frightened scream]

[Alarmed shouting, grunts]

- [Pained groans] Umi!
- Hey!

- Are you alright?
- I think so!

Hey Fuu. Your sword.
Isn't it really heavy?

Not at all.
It is as light as a feather.

Can I borrow it for a second?

- Sure.
- Whoa! [Startled shout]

[Heavy clang]

This is extremely peculiar. The
sword feels extraordinarily light to me.

No way!
It's the heaviest thing in the world!

What about yours?

That's right, I dropped it.

It has returned to
it's previous form.

I think I'm starting to get it.

Huh?

Just before, when Fuu
tried to pick up your sword

it turned into something
that looked like water.

What are you talking about?

This must mean that these weapons have
been made especially for each one of us.

Weapons made
especially for each of us?

And they've changed a lot, you know?
From when we first got them from Presea.

[Magic ripples]

[Magic ripples]

[Magic ripples]

[Magic ripples, shatters]

Oh! Our armor has evolved again!

Our swords too!

Our swords are evolving also.

Puu-puu puu-puu puu!

All three of us have
matching outfits!

We must never forget that Presea gave
her life to make these weapons for us.

We gotta do our best!

Mm-hmm!

By the way, did you happen to notice the
person who defeated that monster for us?

That's right!
We forgot to thank him!

That's him right there!

Hello there! We need to thank
you for saving our friend Umi!

I wonder if something's wrong.

Perhaps he is rather shy.

Something's strange though.

Thank you very much
for saving my life just now!

[Alarmed shout]

[Strained groan, shouts]

- [Pained shout]
- Umi!

[Strained grunts]

Miss Hikaru!

Okay, who are you!?

Swordmaster Lafarga.

Swordmaster?

I defeat all enemies
using only my sword.

Are you one of Zagato's minions?

Why are you attacking us?

Because my mission is the
annihilation of the Magic Knights.

So, why did you save me
from that monster before?

If that monster had killed you, I would
be unable to accomplish my mission.

That makes a lot of sense!

[Furious battle shout]

[Frightened screams]

Look!
What happened to the ground?

He didn't touch it, yet
it crumbled like sand!

Wind pressure!
It's the wind pressure from his sword!

[Angry growl]

[Alarmed screams]

[Startled screams]

Ugh! It's just no use!
He's too powerful!

[Battle shout]

[Startled gasps]

[Frightened screams]

Hey Umi! Fuu! Are you alright?

[Pained groans]

[Battle shout]

Hey you guys! Watch out!

[Strained groan]

[Startled gasps]

[Exhausted panting]

My mission is the annihilation
of the Magic Knights.

If I don't stand my ground,
his attack will hit Umi and Fuu.

[Battle shout]

Is that all you can do!?

Run for it, Hikaru!

You must save yourself!

[Strained groans]

[Exhausted panting]

I'm not giving up!

The three of us...
the three of us! Umi, Fuu and I.

Together we're gonna
become the Magic Knights.

And we're gonna
go back to Tokyo!

[Magic hums and crackles]

Miss Hikaru!

Hikaru, use magic!

My opponent is a swordsman.
I have to fight him with a sword.

I have to make sure that I become a
Magic Knight along with my best friends,

and the three of us will
save Princess Emeraude!

Princess Emeraude.

And we'll save Cephiro too!

Princess.

[Pained groans]

What? What's going on?

[Magic buzzes, Lafarga groans]

- [Startled shout]
- [Battle shout]

[Repeated angry shouting]

[Strained groans]

[Pained groan]

What's the matter with you!?

Did you do something
to Princess Emeraude!?

Ugh, Princess...

Lafarga, please help me!
Lafarga!

Princess Emeraude!

[Forceful yell]

[Startled gasp]

[Exhausted panting]

[Battle shout]

[Strained grunts, shouts]

[Determined grunt]

Princess Emeraude!

[Battle shout]

[Booming explosion]

[Squelches] [Pained scream]

- [Choking gasp]
- [Frustrated growl]

Princess Emeraude!

[Magic whooshes] [Pained shout]

Captain of the Guard Lafarga.
I acknowledge

that you are a faithful
servant to your master.

[Pained groan] Zagato!
Why are you trying to take the Princess?

Tell me what you're
planning to do with her!

Unfortunately, it
does not concern you.

[Both groaning]

[Magic ripples]

[Pained screaming]

[Magic whooshes,
pained screaming]

[Startled gasp] Lafarga!

Lafarga! Lafarga!

[Pained groans] [Sword clatters]

[Flames crackle]

A weapon just for me. My sword just
turned itself into a ball of flames.

Hey, did you just see that?

Her sword emits flames when
anyone other than she handles it.

[Pained groans]

Where... where am I?

[Determined huff]

Where is she!? Do you know what
has happened to Princess Emeraude?

[Surprised gasp]

[Pained groan]

I must save Princess Emeraude!

Save the princess? You mean to
say you're not one of Zagato's minions?

The Princess...

I serve and protect Princess
Emeraude, the Pillar of Cephiro.

My job is to guard
and protect the princess

so that her prayers
will never be interrupted.

So that peace and order
will always be preserved.

I tried to stop Lord
Zagato from taking her,

But, I...

[Startled gasp] How did you
get those wounds? Was it me?

It's alright.
You weren't responsible

because you were being
controlled by Zagato.

So please, don't worry.

Hello over there!

If he's not one of
Zagato's minions,do you

think he could help
us get out of here?

Ahh...

Lafarga, here.

I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm sorry about the flames.

You didn't get burned?

Hmm?

Do not worry about me.

[Relieved gasp]

If you don't mind,
who are you three?

The three of us were summoned
here from Tokyo by Princess Emeraude.

We're going to become
the Magic Knights.

The Magic Knights?
The Legendary Magic Knights? Is it true?

We haven't made
it quite yet, though.

We're almost there.

All we have to do is revive
one more Rune God and

we'll finally be able to
rescue Princess Emeraude.

I see. You three are the ones.

What are you planning to do now?

Only those from another world
can become Magic Knights.

However, I will now
commence my quest to search

out and rescue Princess
Emeraude as well.

I thank you from the
bottom of my heart.

I have now been set free from the
nightmare of Zagato's evil magic spell.

I know we will meet again.

Lafarga!

- Mister Lafarga!
- Lafarga!

He's already gone.

Hey you guys!
It's time for us to get a move on, too!

The third Rune
God is waiting for us!

Yeah!

Puu-puu, puu-puu!

We've got to go save
Princess Emeraude!

Who is it today?

Today, it's Mokona!

Puu puu, puu-puu-puu, puu-puu!
Puuuu!
