Magic Knight Rayearth (1994–1995): Season 1, Episode 19 - Taiketsu! Majikku Naito basasu Zagato - 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.

Because the Magic
Knights were able to

defeat every enemy
who stood in their path,

High Priest Zagato finally
confronted them personally.

I'm not gonna let
you hurt anyone else!

I'm definitely gonna
keep my promise!

Magic Knight...
What pushes you to do this? A promise?

Out of respect for the
strength of your convictions,

I will use my greatest spell
to send you to your grave.



[Magic whooshes, crashes]

[Magic ripples]

[Flames whoosh]

The third Rune God!

[Thrusters whoosh]

[Engines whine]

Hikaru was able to
revive the last Rune God,

and the three girls finally
became the Magic Knights.

But their greatest
battle now lies ahead.

Showdown!
The Magic Knights Versus Zagato

[Heartbeat pulses,
water bubbles]

Zagato, I'm begging you to stop.

If you continue, our world
Cephiro will be in ruins.

[Cries softly] Oh
please, Magic Knights.



Hurry. Please hurry.
[Magic hums]

Before I make an
irreversible mistake. Hurry.

Legendary Magic Knights,
please save this world Cephiro.

We made friends
with some of them.

Some even fought with us.

But there's still one more to go.
Now we must defeat Zagato!

Zagato. If we defeat him, we
can rescue Princess Emeraude.

Then we can save Cephiro.

[Magic pulses] The magic orb!

What's wrong, Hikaru?

The magic orb is pulsating.

I am Emeraude of Cephiro.

Princess Emeraude!

Magic Knights.
My powers have grown very weak.

I am afraid I am no
longer able to communicate

with you, except
through this magic orb.

Are you hurt?
Has Zagato done something to you?

Magic Knights.
There is no time left.

Please, grant my wish.

Please, save this world Cephiro.

Princess Emeraude! Where...
where can we find you?

[Magic hums]

[Startled gasp]

What's this golden light?

Look to the heavens where the
light points to a place in the sky.

That is where I am.

I can see it!

Magic Knights! Please. Hurry!

Hurry! And fulfill the...

Wait! Princess!

It sounded like
she was cut off...

I wonder what happened.

Let's go!
Zagato is right above us!

Mmm! [Thrusters whoosh]

Magic Knights summoned
from another world,

please follow the
legend, and allow me...

Allow me to...

I beg you. Isn't it enough?

This is the law of Cephiro; a
promise made upon this land.

I cannot do anything about it.

Yes, I know.

Zagato.

I understand very well.

Do not forget that I was chosen to aid
in the prayers of the Pillar of Cephiro.

The Law of Cephiro, that the heart
determines all. It is deeply ingrained in me.

[Pained groan]

[Startled gasp] Oh!
You are hurt!

Hmph. It's nothing.

[Magic hums, Surprised gasp]

Light of Healing, please lend me your
shining rays of infinite, boundless love.

I am the one that shall
defeat the Magic Knights.

Exactly what do you think you
are doing, healing this wound?

Zagato.

Emeraude.
It seems that I can only make you cry.

Although I wish to see your smile
more than anyone else in Cephiro.

Somehow, I alone am
responsible for all of your tears.

[Soft gasp]

[Very softly] I love you...

[Despairing whimper]

I will destroy the legend
of the Magic Knights.

[Startled gasp] Wait!
Zagato! Zagato!

Lord Zagato! Those words that you
whispered to Princess Emeraude...

Tell me, were all those things
that you said your true feelings!?

Were you speaking the truth!?

Lord Zagato!

And what would you
do if I was, Alcyone?

You can't! You can't be...

If that were true, then for what purpose
have I been fighting the Magic Knights?

I betrayed Master Mage Clef,
and faced so many hardships.

It was all for you, Lord Zagato.

No, it was for yourself.

People always fight for themselves.
You are no different.

It was not for me.

If you look, you'll see that
you fought for your own heart.

No!
I did it all for you, my lord!

[Strained gurgling]

You did it for me?

Everything you
tried, you failed.

And yet you dare to speak such
nonsense with this mouth of yours?

[Coughs]

You are completely
useless to me.

Begone from my sight.

[Soft whimpering]

[Magic hums]

[Thunder crashes]

[Magic hums]

[Thrusters whoosh]

[Gasps] There it is!

That must be the castle where
Princess Emeraude is imprisoned!

- Hikaru?
- Huh?

Look, over there!

It looks like a Rune God!

Does this mean there are
more than three Rune Gods?

So, you have made it this far.

- [Startled gasp]
- Legendary Magic Knights.

That voice.

Zagato.

Zagato has a Rune God too?

So the reason we needed
to don these Rune Gods,

was because the enemy
possesses a Rune God as well.

I get it!

That's why we had to
revive the Rune Gods

before we could become
the Magic Knights.

I used every ounce of power and all
the strength of my heart to create this.

In order to defeat
you, Magic Knights.

[Magic hums]

Okay, guys! Let's go!

Right!

[Battle shout]

[Swords ring]

Please stop!

[Heartbeat pulses] Please stop!

[Battle shout]

[Swords ring]

[Swords ring]

[Battle shout]

[Heartbeat pulses] Stop!
Please stop! Please!

[Armor clangs]

[Heavy crash]

Oh please, I beg you!

If you keep this up...

If you keep this up...

Water... Dragon!

Barrier Circle!

This mustn't happen.

[Magic hums]

Winds of Protection!

[Magic whooshes, crashes]

This mustn't happen!

Flame Arrow! Hyah!

[Alarmed shouts]

[Pained shout]

I can't go on like this!

Legend of the Magic Knights.

The Legend will
never become a reality!

I will crush them
with my bare hands!

Lightning Ball, come forth!

[Energy crackles]

[Frightened screams]

[Booming explosion]

Oh Fuu... Umi...

Hikaru!

Miss Hikaru!

We've got to try our best!
We've got to try our best!

If we defeat Zagato, we
can go back home to Tokyo!

If we defeat Zagato, we can rescue Princess
Emeraude who summoned us to Cephiro!

We can save this world!

[Thrusters whoosh]

We can save Cephiro!

The three of us have
fought so hard together.

There's no way I'd
ever give up at this point.

I propose that we unite our
individual strengths and fight as one.

The three of us will
go back home together!

We won't lose!

The three of us
absolutely refuse...

...to lose!

[Swords clang]

Why did you imprison
Princess Emeraude?

Isn't the princess the
Pillar that supports Cephiro?

Isn't it true that this entire
world will be destroyed,

if Princess Emeraude
isn't able to pray for peace!?

You are correct.

Then why are you doing this!?

Why is it necessary for Princess
Emeraude to pray for peace in Cephiro?

Huh? [Pained shout]

- Miss Hikaru!
- Hikaru!

Why should Princess
Emeraude alone have to pray

continuously for the
well being of Cephiro?

[Startled shouts]

The Pillar of this land is
destined to pray only for the

stability of this world and can
have no freedom of her own.

[Heavy crashing]

Why should Emeraude alone be
forced to be the Pillar of Cephiro!?

And spend her life
locked up in a cage!?

Lighting Bolt Assault!

[Magic whooshes]

[Heavy impacts,
pained screaming]

[Magic hums]

Ebony Annihilation!

[Magic whooshes, crashes]

[Booming explosion]

There's no way we're
gonna lose this battle!

We will return to
Tokyo together!

No matter what happens, I
will never lose my best friends!

We will not lose!
We will not lose! We will not lose!

Spiral Flash!

[Magic whooshes]

Emeraude. Please, be free.

[Booming explosion]

No!

Zagato! Zagato!

Zagato!

[Sobs hysterically]

[Heartbeat pulses]

Who is it today?

Today, it's Mokona!

Puu puu puu puu puu puu puu! Puuuuu!
