Magic Knight Rayearth (1994–1995): Season 1, Episode 3 - Nazo no Bishonen Kenshi Ferio - full transcript

The three girls meet an ally in their quest.

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

have been summoned by Princess Emeraude
to an alternate world called Cephiro.

They soon learn that they must become
the Magic Knights, and save Cephiro,

which has turned into a world of terror
under the rule of High Priest Zagato.

To become the Magic
Knights and save Cephiro, they

must first acquire a rare
metal ore called Escudo.

Hikaru and her companions
set out to find the

Legendary Spring of Eterna
in the quest for Escudo.

Ferio, the Mysterious and
Handsome Swordsman.

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

[Panting]



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

Puu-puu, puu-puu!

Puu-puu, puu-puu puu!

Puu-puu!

Puu! Puu!

[Exhausted sigh] Oh, come
on! This isn't at track meet!

Which way do you
think we should go?

Puu-puu, puu-puu!

Hmm.

[Terrified screaming]

Hikaru!

[Battle yell]

[Heavy sigh] Yeah!

Oh my gosh you
were totally amazing!



Puu-puu-puu!

Hey! Mokona!

Why do you keep heading
toward monsters all the time?

Puu? Puu-puu puu puu!

I think it's just a
coincidence, Umi.

We'll I'm gonna get upset if it
isn't! If it goofs up just once more...

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

Puu-puu-puu!

- Uh...
- It's another monster!

[Terrified screaming]

Hiyah!

[Gasp]

[Heavy sigh]

These events may not
all be strictly coincidental.

It may be that the path to
Eterna is full of monsters.

Why do you even
say things like that?

What's the matter?

Nothing, I just have this strange
feeling that someone was watching us.

Please, don't scare me!

In any case, it might be a good idea for
us to have our weapons in hand as well.

We cannot be certain when
the next monster may strike.

I guess so.

- [Surprised gasp]
- [Startled scream] What's this!?

[Startled gasp]

Umi, Fuu! Get your
weapons out, hurry!

[Terrified screaming]

Ha! [Battle yell]

[Terrified screaming]

[Pained screaming]

Umi! Fuu!

[Pained grunts]

[Terrified screaming]

- Mokona!
- Puu-puu-puu, puu-puu puu!

[Awed gasp]

Thank you so
much for helping us!

Do you mind if I ask
who the three of you are?

My name's Hikaru Shidou!

My name is Fuu Hououji.

And my name is Umi Ryuuzaki.

People call me Ferio. So I figure you
guys must be pretty dumb or something.

Walkin' around the Forest
of Silence with no weapons.

That's like beggin' for monsters
to come out and eat'cha.

Why do you say we're dumb to
walk around without weapons?

You see, the Forest of Silence
is home to all kind of monsters.

There must be hundreds and thousands
of monsters roaming around this place.

Hundreds and thousands!?

So! You guys wanna
hire me as an escort?

You don't have a prayer to get
out of this place alive by yourselves.

I work in this forest as a hunter,
and you've seen what I can do.

I'm pretty sure I'd
come in handy to ya.

I'm really sorry, but we can't hire you. We
don't have any money used in this country.

Oh? Food'll do just
fine. It's been quite a

while since I've had
anything decent to eat.

Yeah, but where do we find that?

Puu-puu-puu, puu-puu puu!

[Magical chime] Puu-puu!

Whoa!

That's amazing!

- It's fantastic!
- It's a wonderful talent, Mokona!

Puu puu puu puu puu!

[Burps] I guess this means
we've gotta deal then, huh?

Oh, right!

It might not be such a good
idea to trust him so easily.

What if this young man is
somehow connected to Zagato?

But he saved our lives before!

How do you know that's not just
some kind of tactic to catch us off guard?

Thank you, but we do not
require the service of an escort.

The food is yours to keep,
so please leave us alone.

To think that one so good
lookin' walks around unescorted.

Did you say "good
looking"!? [Giggle]

It's dangerous for someone so beautiful
to walk these parts with no bodyguard.

He said "beautiful"!

That's total - and
complete honesty!

Fuu, do you think
we can hire this guy?

[Giggles]

Sir Ferio, you claim to be a hunter
in this forest, but if that were true...

would it not be strange for you to hunt
in such a monster infested place as this?

[Sigh] All right, you found me out. I'm
not really a hunter. I'm a swordsman.

If you want to know the
truth, I thought I'd try to go

cause some serious trouble
for the one called Zagato.

But I almost ended
up getting caught.

I managed to escape into these
woods, but I dunno the way out.

That makes an interesting
story. Your previous

tale was a lie, and
this one is the truth.

Or do you have another?

Huh, I guess you got me
there. I might as well give up.

A very wise decision.

He's still following us.

So maybe he really doesn't
know how to get out of this place.

Or perhaps he has something else on his
agenda, like abducting the resourceful Mokona.

[Surprised gasp] Let's lose him!

Huh?

Whoa!

What are you guys
up to? Hide and Seek?

[Alarmed shouts]

We have to sleep to
prepare for tomorrow.

Sleep!? How are we supposed to do
that in the middle of the wilderness?

We'll have to
sleep on the ground.

[Frustrated sigh] Must we?

You have a better idea?

Puu-puu, puu-puu-puu!
[Magical chime]

That's amazing, Mokona!

Puu puu, puu!

It's just like Presea said. Mokona has
everything we could ever need on our journey.

- Oh my!
- Wow!

Even pajamas!
Everything you could want.

Is this a hotel!?

Puu puu-puu!

Hey Fuu? Do you think it's alright
if I take some food out to Ferio?

He doesn't seem like
such a bad guy to me.

You have such a kind heart,
Hikaru. I think it should be alright.

- That's great!
- However, I shall take it to him.

You are simply too kind,
and I'm afraid that you might

invite him inside, rather
than just delivering the food.

I can see that. Tee-hee!

I have brought you something to eat.
I will leave it here, so help yourself.

Hold on a sec.

Do you need something else?

Yeah. Can you hang
out with me for a while?

What do you mean by that?

I really just don't
want to eat alone.

You don't have to
stay for a long time.

It'd be great just to have
some company for a change.

Ferio...

Even someone who looks upset all
the time, like you, is better than nothing.

- Hmph.
- [Breathless gasp]

[Amused chuckle]

Puu-puu, puu-puu!

[Panting]

Hiiyaah!

- [Pained growls]
- Yah!

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

Mokona, what the heck
are you trying to do!?

Every path you take leads
us to another monster!

Puu-puu, puu-puuuuu!

Please make it a path
with no monsters this time.

Puu-puu-puu-puu. Puu-puu!

Puu-puu, puu-puu!

No way! Wait a minute! Stop!

You're not saying that we
have to go through that!?

Puu-puu, puu-puu!

Get real! Even with our
weapons, there's no way we

could ever start to fight
that many monsters, Mokona.

I mean, come on!

What do we do?

We're gonna have to go
back the way we came.

No, we should ask Ferio.

Hikaru.

Clef told us about how
Cephiro has become a

terrible place where
monsters are free to roam.

But this forest is
something else altogether.

It is much too dangerous to trust that
boy. He has not spoken one word of truth.

Clef and Presea aren't here now. Ferio's the
only one who knows the Forest of Silence.

Ya got that right!

Ferio!

Looks like I'm finally
gonna be of use.

If you're interested, I'll
answer any questions you got.

Well, can you tell us what's
going on around here?

Was this place a normal
forest before Zagato took over?

Nope. I doubt these old woods have changed
even one bit since the beginning of time.

Magic never worked here and
monsters always roamed about.

That's probably why even Zagato
couldn't do anything with this place.

As far as I can tell, that rock
over there is what's behind all this.

It attracts evil and turns it into
the worst thing you can think of.

[Menacing growls]

Maybe all the monsters will go
away if we can destroy that rock!

Are you out of your mind!?

We'd have to plow through
the middle of all those monsters!

They'd kill us
before we got near it!

All we have to do is
split up into two groups.

One group will get the
attention of the monsters,

and the other can
break up the rock.

You really wanna
fight more monsters?

It's gonna be impossible
for just the three of us!

Yeah, but!

Let me be the one to
divert the monsters' attention.

No, if we can't do something
like this ourselves, how

can we possibly ever hope
to be able to save Cephiro?

By the way, you mentioned Clef
before, did you mean Master Mage Clef?

That's right.

In order to save us, Master
Mage Clef was forced to--

It may be best if we do
not trust him completely yet.

I see.

You guys are thinking about rescuing Princess
Emeraude and saving Cephiro, aren't ya?

Huh?

I'm on the same mission.

All I wanna do is
rescue the princess.

[Stunned gasp]

I was raised as a traveling minstrel.
I don't know who my parents were.

My earliest memories are of my
master teaching me tricks to perform.

And one day, I was
invited to the castle.

I decided to take a
walk around the castle

on my own, but that
wasn't to steal anything.

It was because everything
was so interesting.

I was brought
before the princess.

That item is something that I gave to this
young man as a gift, he did not steal it.

Princess Emeraude
saved my life. I'll do

whatever it takes to
defeat Zagato and save her!

Hey, I really had
you guys going, huh?

You're mean! That
was all a big lie!

I want to get out of this forest,
and I don't know how to find the way.

So I've got no choice but
to tag along with you guys.

Alright, let's let him help us.

You and I will lure
the monsters away.

Fuu and Ferio can destroy
the rock when it's clear.

Okay, I'm ready!

- Umi, let's go!
- Okay!

[Warm-up grunts]

Ahem. Um. Isn't that story
you told actually the truth?

Hmph. What is the truth? Pick
the story you want to be true.

[Battle cry]

[Determined grunts]

Umi!

[Fierce battle cries]

[Exhausted panting]

[Battle cries]

[Alarmed shouts]

Okay, let's go!

Uh, right.

I'll handle this myself! You
stay back where it's safe!

I'm sorry, I cannot
allow that to happen!

[Magical energy hums]

[Pained groaning, shouts]

What? What is this force!?

What is the matter!?

Stay away!

[Pained groan] Don't
come any closer!

[Gasps]

[Pained grunt] This is
some kind of crazy rock!

Listen! This rock doesn't just attract
monsters, it also turns things into monsters!

That's why this
forest... [Alarmed shout]

Ferio!

Stay back! You must break
the rock with one of your arrows!

That's impossible! That rock is
at least a hundred yards away!

How can I break
it with an arrow?

Listen to me! In Cephiro,
the strongest power is the will!

If you believe, the arrow
will fly, and the rock will break!

If I believe, the arrow will
fly, and the rock will break.

[Pained groaning]

I can't do it.

You gotta believe in yourself!

[Battle cries]

Fuu! Hurry up!

If I believe... If I believe!

[Magical whoosh]
[Electrical crackle]

- We can't make it out of this!
- You can't give up, Umi!

[Magical pulse]

[Astonished gasps]

Hikaru, what's going on?

I don't know.

[Animals chittering]

[Laughs] Fuu and Ferio
must have been successful!

Oh, Ferio! Are you okay?

Looks like you've still
got a long ways to go,

if you don't know how
to break that old rock.

If you can make comments like
that, I assume you are all right.

But I figured that Ferio was
definitely going to go with us to Eterna.

I told you, I was only looking
for the way out of this place.

It should be obvious we go
our separate ways from here.

I want you to have this.

[Soft gasp]

Use it to make a wish and
I'm pretty sure it will be granted.

Hey! Why is Fuu the
only one who gets a gift!?

Well, that's the difference
in how much I care!

Hmm... Fuu?

My Lord, the Forest of Silence
has appeared in the Water Mirror.

I wonder... how this
could have happened.

Those children are still alive.

Who is it today?

Today, it's Mokona!

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