Magic Knight Rayearth (1994–1995): Season 1, Episode 20 - Densetsu no Majikku Naito! Kyoi no Shinjitsu - 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.
Now that they have
become Magic Knights,
it was time for them to face their
most dreaded enemy, High Priest Zagato.
Zagato used all of his
powers to get in their way.
His attacks were
powerful; bringing Hikaru
and the others to their
knees again and again.
But the girls finally united forces and
cast a combination spell, Spiral Flash,
and the Magic Knights
destroyed Zagato once and for all.
The Unbelievable Truth About
the Legendary Magic Knights
[Heartbeat pulses]
Zagato! [Magic hums]
[Magic shrieks]
[Shatters]
Legendary Magic Knights.
Well, you guys!
I guess this means we'll finally
be able to grant
Princess Emeraude's wish!
We revived the Rune Gods,
and we defeated Zagato
who abducted the Princess!
So that means
Cephiro will be saved!
And that means we
can go back to Tokyo!
I wanna tell you something...
Umi, Fuu... I'm really...
I'm really... What I'm
trying to say is that I'm really
glad I was summoned here
to Cephiro with the two of you,
my best friends.
If I was alone in this
place I know I wouldn't
have made it as far
as we have together.
I know what you mean, because
I feel the same way, Hikaru.
If I was alone here I'm sure I
would have totally panicked.
And I would have been
some monster's dinner
that very first night in
the Forest of Silence.
I as well.
I'm sure I would have
been completely disoriented
and frightened if I had come to
this foreign world all by myself.
Alright!
Magic Knights, let's go!
Princess Emeraude must
be waiting for us in there!
How do you think
we enter this place?
It appears to be a
crystal formation.
So where's the entrance, then?
This is the barrier
that protects the castle.
That must be the
voice of Rayearth.
But Zagato isn't here anymore!
This castle belongs
to Princess Emeraude.
Selece!
The barrier protecting this castle was
created within Princess Emeraude's heart.
Windam!
Thou canst breach the
barrier with thine magic.
And it's true that Princess
Emeraude is beyond this barrier, right?
The Pillar of
Cephiro lies within.
Let's do this!
- Yeah!
- Yes!
Young girls from another world.
The true enemy of the
Magic Knights is immensely
stronger than anyone thou
hast encountered thus far.
Be warned.
What do you mean by that?
I thought that the
battle was finally over.
Let's go to find
Princess Emeraude!
[Magic hums] Flame Arrow!
Water Dragon!
Emerald Typhoon!
[Roars, magic shrieks]
[Crashes, booming explosion]
[Thrusters whoosh]
There's somebody here!
It appears to be a woman.
[Magic ripples]
Uh... Who are you?
It is I.
Emeraude of Cephiro.
Princess Emeraude?
But how can that be?
Princess Emeraude was so much...
When she appeared to help
us inside the Spring of Eterna...
Princess Emeraude looked
unmistakably like a little girl.
Is it really possible that you
could be Princess Emeraude?
I am the one known as Emeraude.
She does look an awful lot like the
girl we saw at the Spring of Eterna.
Her beautiful blonde hair and the
color of her eyes are exactly the same.
Princess Emeraude.
We are the ones that you summoned
from another world to
become the Magic Knights.
We followed Master
Mage Clef's guidance.
And Master Smith Presea made
weapons especially for each of us.
Mokona led us on our journey.
And we revived the
three Rune Gods.
Actually, Presea lost
her life while she was
making those weapons
for us out of Escudo.
Clef kept his promise
to you by watching
over us faithfully
every step of the way,
and helping us to ultimately
become the Magic Knights.
He was turned to
stone by Zagato... but then!
We were finally
able to defeat Zagato!
[Heartbeat pulses] Zagato!
[Surprised gasp]
Is something wrong?
Princess Emeraude!
You defeated Zagato.
[Energy crackles]
She's acting kinda strange.
You killed Zagato.
You murdered him.
It was you! You're the ones
that murdered the man I love!
[Startled shout]
You'll never get away with this!
[Frightened shouts]
Where are we now!?
Inside the Rune Gods.
The Rune Gods must
have pulled us out of that.
[Magic hums]
You will not escape.
The castle's crumbling!
We've gotta get out of here!
[Heavy crashes]
What happened!? Maybe that
wasn't really Princess Emeraude!
That was indeed
the Pillar of Cephiro.
No way!
I thought we were summoned to Cephiro
by Princess Emeraude
in the first place!
Yes. Only the Pillar of
Cephiro is able to use
the spell that summons
those from another world.
Then how do you explain why we were
being attacked by the princess just now?
That is the one that the Magic
Knights are destined to confront.
What exactly do
you mean by that!?
[Booming explosion]
This is...
This is Zagato's sword.
The Magic Knights
murdered my Zagato!
Now they must pay!
I will kill them with
Zagato's sword!
Magic Knights!
Now you will
pay dearly for this.
Magic Knights!
[Startled gasp]
[Magic hums, booming explosion]
[Startled gasp] Oh wow!
The princess destroyed the entire
castle just now with only one attack!
There's no way that you could
really be Princess Emeraude!
I am! I am Emeraude of Cephiro!
[Magic hums, booming explosion]
But weren't you the one who
summoned us three here to Cephiro?
So why!?
Why are you attacking us!?
[Startled gasps]
Did you guys just
see what I saw?
[Magic whooshes]
Winds of Protection!
[Frightened shouts]
Magic Knights!
Princess Emeraude!
Hey! That's the voice! The one
that we heard at the Spring of Eterna.
That is the voice of Princess
Emeraude that I remember hearing.
Ah, so then it really isn't Princess
Emeraude inside that Rune God after all.
And that means the real Princess Emeraude
must still be held prisoner somewhere.
Princess Emeraude, where are you!?
We're here to save you!
[Cries softly]
No. She is me. I am her.
I don't understand.
The one who is inside
that Rune God is me.
It is I who made the foolish
choice to live for the man I
love, over living for my
position as the Pillar of Cephiro.
The man you love?
What do you mean by that?
You were the one that summoned us
here to Cephiro from Tokyo, weren't you?
I heard you clearly that day at Tokyo
Tower! You said to save this world!
Please save this world!
O Legendary Magic Knights!
Yes, it is true that I
summoned the Legendary Magic
Knights from another world
to save this world Cephiro.
I thought that Cephiro would be
saved once we defeated Zagato!
I thought that because you
were held prisoner by Zagato
you were unable to continue
your prayers for peace!
And that was the reason
that Cephiro became an
unstable, crumbling world
where monsters freely roamed!
That is incorrect.
You have it all wrong.
It was not Zagato's fault.
It was all... it was all my fault!
Cephiro is a world where the
power of one's heart determines all.
And the Pillar of this
land supports peace
and order with the
strength of her will,
and the pureness of her heart.
It is essential that the
Pillar prays only for the
world's stability continuously
and without interruption.
And yet... and yet I...
Zagato.
The one who was my High Priest.
I fell in love with him.
[Startled gasps]
[Furious screams]
[Frightened shouts]
[Thunder crashes,
heavy rumbling]
After I fell in love with
Zagato, he began to fill
my thoughts more often
than any thought for Cephiro,
and soon he filled
my heart as well.
I had forgotten my
duties as the Pillar
of Cephiro.
My cares were only for Zagato.
If he was happy,
then all was right.
I started to think
such horrible thoughts.
Well in that case, why would
High Priest Zagato want
to kidnap you and
imprison you the way he did?
He realized how
I felt about him.
About the feelings that I
wanted to hide from him.
And then I realized that Zagato
loved me back just as much.
[Startled gasps]
But unfortunately our love for one
another could never be allowed to bloom.
Because I am the
Pillar of Cephiro, it's not
possible for me to
be with any one man.
I tried to forget him but it didn't
work! I couldn't stop thinking of him!
No matter how I tried,
I couldn't stop myself!
Then that means the
multitudes of monsters
that started to appear
throughout Cephiro...
None of that was
Zagato's fault either, was it?
Cephiro is a world
controlled by the will.
As long as there is a heart
to pray, peace and stability
in all the lands can be
prayed for from anywhere,
no matter what happens
to stand in the way.
Then tell us why the three of us
were summoned here to Cephiro!
The reason I summoned the Magic
Knights from another world to Cephiro...
was because I...
because I wanted you to kill me!
To kill you?
Under no circumstances is the
Pillar able to take her own life.
And nothing can change
the fact that no one in Cephiro
is able to cause the Pillar
bodily harm in any way.
That is why the Pillar alone
possesses the summoning
spell no one else in
Cephiro is able to use.
A magic spell that shall
summon outsiders to Cephiro.
Magic Knights from another world whose
destiny it is to put the Pillar to rest.
So then, the reason
Zagato was trying everything he
could to prevent us from
becoming the Magic Knights,
was to stop us from
fulfilling this destiny?
I wonder if that's what Ferio meant when
he told us about the legend that time.
When Cephiro faces a time of crisis,
Magic Knights appear from another world.
They revive the three Rune Gods
and become the Magic Knights.
I am afraid I have
turned my grief from losing
Zagato into hatred,
and created this monster.
It seems that the true
reason it is imperative
for the Magic Knights
to don Rune Gods
is that they cannot
possibly hope to defeat
the Pillar with just
their flesh and blood.
The true enemy of the
Magic Knights is immensely
stronger than anyone thou
hast encountered thus far.
Be warned.
So this is what Rayearth meant.
You murdered my dear Zagato.
Now I'll kill you
with Zagato's sword!
Please! I'm about to disappear!
Soon my heart will be filled with
hatred and murderous vengeance.
And if that happens, I
will surely pray for the
complete destruction
and annihilation of Cephiro!
[Thunder crashes,
lightning crackles]
O Legendary Magic Knights!
Please, kill me!
Kill me, and save Cephiro!
But how!?
[Sword rings, blood squelches]
[BOTH] Hikaru!
- [Pained scream]
[Evil laugh]
[Pained groan]
Magic Knights.
- [Startled gasps]
- It's Clef!
So you knew all about this!?
About Princess Emeraude's feelings!?
Yes, I did.
Mister Clef, is there nothing
we can do to help her?
Isn't there any way that Princess
Emeraude does not have to die?
There's none.
Unfortunately unless the
current Pillar of Cephiro
disappears, a new Pillar will
not be born to take her place.
We must wait for
the birth of a new Pillar
to restore peace
and order in Cephiro.
But the only thing she did was
happen to fall in love with someone!
Why does Princess
Emeraude have to die!?
That is the promise
that binds Cephiro.
It can't be.
[Thunder crashes]
Magic Knights. You must grant Princess
Emeraude her one last true wish.
Her one last true wish?
Please, Magic Knights.
Please grant me this one last wish.
- Let me go to my beloved Zagato.
- [Startled gasps]
Please help me so I will finally
be able to think only of my Zagato.
So I can be with my
beloved for eternity.
Magic Knights, I beseech you.
Please, you must
grant me my one and
only selfish final wish.
[Cries softly]
[Battle cry]
[Magic ripples]
[Thrusters whoosh]
[Magic chimes]
Zagato. Finally, I am yours,
and only yours my darling.
[Magic pulses,
booming explosion]
Thank you, Magic Knights.
[Startled groans]
That was such a
bright flash of light!
What do you think it was?
Hikaru?
- Huh?
- Hmm?
It wasn't a dream...
It wasn't a dream!
Hikaru.
Oh, Miss Hikaru.
Princess Emeraude.
I wanna go back to
Cephiro together again.
I wanna go back and
do everything we can
to help all those
people return their world
to the beautiful place
that Princess Emeraude,
the Pillar of the land
nurtured so lovingly.
[Cries softly]
Who is it today?
Today it's Mokona!
Puu puu, puu-puu-puu puu puu!
Puuuu!
Shidou, Umi Ryuuzaki and Fuu Hououji
have been summoned by Princess
Emeraude to become the Magic Knights

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