Magic Knight Rayearth (1994–1995): Season 1, Episode 17 - Inoba no Shotai to Yomigaeru Kioku - 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.
Hikaru and her friends finally
managed to acquire two Rune Gods,
and continued on their journey in
search of the last remaining Rune God.
Along the way the girls were
attacked by Swordmaster Lafarga,
who was under the
control of High Priest Zagato.
As they fought, Lafarga
began to regain his memory.
As captain of the guard, it was his duty
to protect Princess Emeraude above all.
In the end, the girls
gained yet another
powerful ally in the
crumbling world of Cephiro.
The Truth About Inouva,
and the Return of Memories
[Thunder rumbles]
- [Panting]
- [Frantic "puu"ing]
[Thunder rumbles] [Exhausted gasp]
Hey, is something
the matter, Hikaru?
Miss Hikaru?
It doesn't get sunny
in Cephiro anymore.
When we were first
summoned here the first
thing I noticed was
the beautiful sky.
Yes, I agree with you.
[Alarmed shout]
Puu puu puu!
[Startled gasp]
[Ground rumbles] [Startled yells]
The ground split open!
Yeah, it looks like this world
is really beginning to fall apart.
[Startled gasps]
Puu puuuuu. [Magic hums]
Oh!
Look at the jewel on Mokona's forehead!
Puu, puu-puu! [Magic hums]
It's Clef!
Oh, Clef! How are you?
We haven't heard
from you in quite a while,
and we've been worried
about you, Mister Clef.
Are you alright?
Hey Clef?
What's the matter, Mister Clef?
Young girls from another world,
I believe that this will be the
last time I communicate with you.
Oh, Clef!
I can no longer suppress Zagato's
magic, which has turned me into stone.
Clef, you can't give up!
The collapse of
Cephiro is nearing.
Hurry, before it is too late.
Lord of the Sea, Selece.
Lord of the Sky, Windam.
The three of you have
triumphed over many hardships,
and successfully
revived two Rune Gods.
Only the very last
Rune God remains.
The very last Rune God...
Hurry.
I'm afraid that before you
are able to grant Princess
Emeraude's wish, you
will collapse with Cephiro,
and be eradicated
from this world.
Collapse?
Eradicated?
Yes. The three of you will never
be able to return to your world.
[Startled gasp]
Please hurry, young
girls from another world.
Continue to follow Mokona's
guidance, and revive the final Rune God.
Then, with three Rune Gods,
you will become the Magic Knights.
- But Clef - Don't go!
I have one more thing to say,
young girls from another world.
Your true enemy is...
Oh, Clef.
Puu puu.
If the three of us do our best, we
might still be able to save this world.
Cephiro.
Alright then. Let's get going.
We don't have much time left.
Mmm.
[Heartbeat thumping]
[Soft cries] Zagato,
please stop this.
At this rate, the damage
cannot be undone.
[Cries softly] Zagato...
Lord Zagato.
My lord, what is the condition
of Princess Emeraude?
She's the same. She has not
wavered since the battle first began.
Her tears have not
stopped for a single moment.
Alcyone, Ascot, Caldina and Lafarga. None
were able to defeat the Magic Knights.
And of course, neither could I.
[Wind howls]
This can't be! Impossible!
[Magic hums]
The Rune God, awake!
This power is too...
[Pained scream]
My lord.
I humbly request that you grant me
permission to go after
those Magic Knights,
one last time.
Those three girls from another world
were able to defeat me in this form.
But if I were to revert to my original
form, I'd be able to use all of my powers.
Lord Zagato, I ask that you please
consider what I'm saying to you.
Lord Zagato!
I know the reason that you
have kept me at your side, my lord!
It's because I was a creature the
Princess presented to you as a gift.
My last request is that you now
return me to my original shape.
Change me back to what I was before
any of this ever happened, my lord.
Inouva, you are not ordinary.
You are a
creature with the
highest magical powers.
And you realize that
that is the only reason I
was able to turn you into
a human as you wished.
Yes, it is true I'd always
wished to take this form.
I know that it is unforgivably selfish
of me to ask that you now change me back.
It was I who informed
you that by taking
this shape, I'd be
able to wield a sword,
and take command over those that
we gathered to defeat the Magic Knights,
when I first asked to be
changed into human form, my lord.
However...
However, now that
the Magic Knights have
somehow managed to
get as far as they have,
now that two Rune Gods are revived,
I must use every ounce of power I can.
Inouva.
My lord, please grant
me one more chance to
repay you for always
keeping me at your side,
even if only because I was a
gift from Princess Emeraude.
Once you revert to
your previous form, you
will never again be able
to take a human shape.
Yes, I understand, my lord.
Inouva, why do you remain
so completely devoted to me?
Because I have seen you beside
the princess all of this time, my lord.
And I have seen you
reveal your emotions as well.
Cephiro is a land of the will.
The heart will always triumph.
There's no chance your
wish will not come true.
You say that even
though it is an evil wish that
will destroy everything
of value in Cephiro.
No.
Let them call you evil, Lord Zagato.
It does not matter to me.
The only thing of
importance is to make
sure that you are
able to reach your goal.
Alright, Inouva.
[Relieved sigh]
[Magic hums]
[Pained groans]
[Pained screams]
[Low growl]
Inouva...
[Howls]
[Magic ripples]
[Heavy panting]
[Startled gasps]
- Let's go!
- Mmm!
[Heavy panting]
[Thunder crashes]
Puu-puu-puu! [Startled gasp]
- What's that?
- Puu puu?
[Thunder crashes,
Startled shouts]
[Thunder crashes] [Flames crackle]
[Strained grunts]
[Surprised gasps]
[Thunder crashes]
What in the world is that!?
[Low growl]
Is it a beast!?
[Menacing howl]
[Magic chimes]
[Startled shouts]
[Worried gasp]
[Low growls]
That beast!
That beast is trying to kill us!
Little girls from another world!
Huh? Hey! Did you hear that?
A voice... in my head.
It must be the voice
of that white beast.
Girls from another world. I'm afraid
that I cannot let you go any further.
Who are you, and
what do you want!?
[Evil laugh] [Magic crackles]
[Startled gasps]
[Whooshing impact]
[Frightened screams]
[Thunder crashes]
Man, the skies of Cephiro
used to be so beautiful until now.
Hikaru... Umi...
...and Fuu...
I sure hope they're safe as
they continue on their journey.
Please do everything
you can to protect those
three girls you summoned
from another world.
Please, Princess Emeraude.
That item is something I
gave to this young man as a gift.
He did not steal it.
Ferio.
Ferio...
Wait a second! What the...!?
That day, when I was
wandering around the castle.
Instead of punishing me,
she let me keep this orb.
Ferio...
I never thought about it, but how the
heck did Princess Emeraude know my name?
We'd never me before.
Ferio.
[Strained sigh]
A child. But who is that child?
Why is she calling my name?
[Thunder crashes]
[Magic whooshes]
[Magic crackles] [Evil laugh]
It is I, Magic Knights.
[Strained groan]
So, who are you!?
[Evil laugh]
You still don't understand.
The last time we met
was at the Sky Shrine.
I'm sure I've heard that voice.
It said the Sky Shrine...
Then you must be
the one who tried to...
My name is Inouva.
I stand here with an order from the High
Priest Zagato to kill the Magic Knights.
Now you see me in my
true form, Magic Knights.
[Startled gasps]
And you see, now that I've
reverted to this form, you cannot win!
[Frightened screams]
Ferio!
I've always...
I've always been alone all my life,
and I've never known my parents
or had any brothers or sisters.
[Gasp] Wait a minute!
Sister!
Sister!
Ferio.
Well, we shall never meet again.
My only dear,
sweet little brother.
[Thunder crashes] No way!
[Startled gasp] I am Princess
Emeraude's little brother!?
Elder sister, I have one small
request before we say goodbye.
A request?
Yes, I want you to
erase all of my memories.
As the Pillar of Cephiro, you
will have to support this world.
I want you to have fewer
problems to worry about.
If I can never see you
again, I want to live alone and
be sure that I'll never
bother you as long as I live.
So please, you should try to forget
that you ever had a brother, too.
I remember!
I received this orb from
her when I left the castle.
Even if I erase your
memory, Ferio, I do
not think I will ever
be able to forget you.
I want you to take
these orbs with you, so
that I can hear your
voice from far away,
from wherever you may be.
That way I will never forget the
voice of my dear, sweet only brother.
I see.
So that's the reason I've
always been so worried about you.
The reason I couldn't
just stand by when I first
found out that Cephiro
was starting to crumble,
and I couldn't bear the
thought of you in danger.
It is because you were
my one and only sister.
[Thunder crashes]
- [Pained groan]
- Hey, Fuu!
Water...!
[roars]
...Dragon!
[Magic crackles]
Don't tell me that
magic doesn't work!
Ferio, I see that your
memory is returning to you.
Sister! Sister, is that you!?
Are you willing to call
me your sister once again?
The reason that all
of the memories in you
that I once erased
have begun to return,
is because my
powers are weakening,
and the seal on your memories
has finally been released.
Please, tell me!
Tell me how I can help
you to get out of
this situation, Sister!
Only those from
another world can do this,
and at this moment the girls
are facing life-threatening danger.
Ferio, please. I need you to
lend me all of your strength.
[Thunder crashes]
Please save the Magic Knights.
[Exhausted panting]
Umi! Are you and Fuu doing okay?
You gotta hang in there, Fuu!
Don't worry. I'm doing alright.
At this point, you must do something
about the enemy we're facing.
Get ready! I'm sure he'll try to
finish us off with his next attack!
[Evil laugh]
I congratulate you heartily for
surviving as long as you have.
But unfortunately,
this is as far as you go.
Hikaru, Umi, Fuu! If you guys can hear
me, you've gotta let me know right now!
[Surprised gasp] Oh! Ferio!
Ferio, I'm so
glad you're alright!
Don't worry about me! I want you
guys to listen to me extremely closely!
The creature you are fighting
called Inouva has one weakness.
The gem on his forehead.
You must attack that gem!
No use! Our swords and magic
haven't had any effect on it so far!
Umi, I want you to
take care of Fuu, okay?
You can't fight
it alone, Hikaru!
Don't be reckless!
We promised everybody
that no matter what happens,
we will become the Magic
Knights, and we will save Cephiro.
So don't ever give up.
Right Umi? Right Fuu?
Die, Magic Knights!
[Battle shout]
[Energy crackles]
[Pained grunt] [Gem shatters]
[Pained howl]
[Sword squelches]
My lord, Zagato.
Inouva.
Inouva.
[Howls]
[Energy crackles]
Welcome back.
I was worried about'cha.
Hey Ferio!
Hey, there's Umi! And Fuu, too!
Yeah, we're alright.
And we were able to defeat
that beast called Inouva.
It was all thanks to you, Ferio.
Well, no.
To tell you the truth it was Princess
Emeraude who told
me about his weakness.
Princess Emeraude?
Isn't this...
isn't this your orb, Ferio?
Princess Emeraude's powers
have become severely weakened.
The only way she'll be able to communicate
with you is through this magic orb.
That's why it's important that you
hang onto this thing from now on.
But Ferio... is something wrong?
Puu puu?
The only ones who can
save our Princess Emeraude
are the Magic Knights
from another world.
Hikaru, Umi and Fuu...
please save the princess.
Save the princess,
and save Cephiro.
Ferio...
My lord Zagato.
I've returned with a plan to defeat
the Magic Knights once and for all.
My lord, please grant me this
one last chance to defeat them.
[Surprised gasp]
Wait just a moment, my lord!
Please! Lord Zagato!
Lord Zagato!
Who is it today?
Today, it's Hikaru!
Hey everybody! Did you guess right?
I'll see you later!
Shidou, Umi Ryuuzaki and Fuu Hououji

It's Clef!
Oh, Clef! How are you?
