Magic Knight Rayearth (1994–1995): Season 1, Episode 5 - Densetsu no Kobutsu Esukudo - 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.

Attacked by scores of monsters,
and finally a wicked sorceress,

Water Dragon!

Hikaru and her friends
gained magical powers through

their strong feelings
of loyalty and friendship

and vanquished the enemy.

They now continue on their journey
toward the Legendary Spring of Eterna

in search of the rare
or called Escudo.

Escudo, the Legendary Ore.



Lord Zagato, please
give me one more chance.

This time I will get
the Magic Knights.

Alcyone, you have already
betrayed by trust twice,

and I'm extremely
disappointed in you.

Lord Zagato, it appears the Magic Knights
are headed towards the Spring of Eterna.

So, they are after Escudo.

Yes.

Please, Lord Zagato.
Allow me one last attempt.

I'll take care of
those Magic Knights.

I do not wish to be
disappointed a third time.

I swear upon my devotion
to you I will succeed.

I'll remember those
words, Alcyone.

Little brats. They will soon experience
the pain that I am feeling right now.

[Amazed gasp]



It's so pretty!

I feel like we're
looking at a painting!

Do you think this might be it?

This must be the
Legendary Spring of Eterna!

[Excited chattering]

Puu, puu puu puu!

Mokona.

Mokona's behavior
seems rather odd.

Perhaps this may not be the
Legendary Spring of Eterna after all.

Puu, puu-puu!

This has to be it! We've been
following Mokona all this way!

I know, but Umi...

Hey, there is a
boat right over there.

Huh?

Lucky!

[Excited giggle]

We'll figure this out if we
investigate! Come on, hurry!

Things may be going
a little too smoothly.

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

Stroke, stroke,
stroke, stroke...

There's nothing over here.

No way!

Maybe this really isn't the
Legendary Spring of Eterna.

[Surprised gasp]

[Alarmed shouts]

[Pained grunt]

[Panicked shouts]

[Magical hum]

[Determined yell,
surprised shout]

What in the world
is this thing!?

[Alarmed screams]

It would appear that our spring was merely
a trap prepared by this friendly monster.

Ugh! It's not fair for a
monster to look like a spring!

I can't stand
cheaters like this thing!

Water...

Dragon!

Hey, Umi! You did it!

- Are you guys alright?
- Yeah.

Well now the three of us seem to
be glowing as if we were ghosts.

Well that should go
away once we dry off!

Puu-puu, puu-puu-puu!

Mokona.

The Legendary Spring
of Eterna is over there?

Puu, puu-puu!

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

Eh? Is this it?

Well then, this is the
Legendary Spring of Eterna.

Oh, wow.

Okay? So what part of
this place is the spring?

Hmm. There is nothing
here that resembles water.

Hey, what's that?

What's that line up there?

Line?

It... is a line.

So what... does this mean?

I do not know. The
line is simply just there.

Puu-puu-puu, puu-puuuu!

Hey, Mokona!
Where are you going?

Hey! Now tell me why there's a
line drawn here in a place like this!?

- Well, Cephiro is a pretty stran...
- [Surprised shout]

Fuu, Umi! You've gotta
come up here, right now!

Huh?

[Surprised gasp]

Isn't that... a spring?

This must be the
Legendary Spring of Eterna!

But there wasn't anything
there a second ago!

Yeah, it's that line!

The spring must look like a line
unless you look at it from above.

Oh, now I see.

That means... this spring...
it's two dimensional. It's flat.

Right. So in what part of this completely
flat, completely weird Spring of Eterna

do we find the
Legendary Ore Escudo?

Puu-puu!

- [Startled shout]
- Puu!

Mokona!

It appears that the
Escudo is inside the spring.

But we don't even know
how deep it is, and how

are we supposed to
breathe under the water?

Yeah.

I guess we'll never
know unless we go in.

Ugh! This whole thing is
just one disaster after another.

- I'm gonna go in.
- Hikaru!

I believe that Mokona
is trying to tell us that we

will find the Legendary Ore
Escudo inside this spring.

I've decided that I will become a Magic
Knight, so I have to go to get some Escudo.

That's right.

Shall we go then? Nothing is going
to happen if we sit around here all day.

I have no idea what's
going to happen to us.

but I do know that what we
can't do alone, we can do together.

- Ready?
- Steady!?

Let's go!

[Anxious shout]

[Struggling groans]

Hmph. Everything is
going according to plan.

Magic Knights, this
will be your grave.

Fuu!

Umi!

[Groan]

Hey Fuu! Umi!

[Determined grunt]

[Dog whining]

No way!

Hikari? What in the
world are you doing here?

Hikaru? Fuu? Where are you guys?

How'd we get separated?

[Panicked shout]

Mom? Dad?

I wonder if this place is
the interior of the spring.

[Startled gasp]

[Shocked gasp]

It can't be!

Hikari? It is you
isn't it, Hikari?

I don't understand what
you're doing in this place, Hikari.

[Pained gasp] Hikari!

- [Growls]
- What's wrong with you, Hikari?

- [Growls]
- [Pained grunt]

[Growls]

Don't you even recognize me?

It's me! It's me, Hikaru!

Can't you hear me?

[Growls, magical hum]

Hikari!

Daddy, Mother...
how'd you get here?

What are you doing here in
this place? Or is this a dream?

[Magical hum] [Startled scream]

This pain I feel...
this isn't a dream.

[Heartbeat pulses]

But this cannot be a mirror.

[Alarmed gasp]

[Pained whimper]

Miss Umi was correct.
One disaster after another.

[Surprised gasp] It was she who
took the hit on the shoulder. Why?

[Pained scream]

When I get hurt, she also gets hurt.

When she gets
hurt, I also get hurt.

That can only mean... she
and I are... the same person.

- [Angry growl]
- [Pained scream]

Please stop this, Hikari.
Why are you doing it?!

[Growls]

We've grown up together
since we were little.

You were by my side when I was
happy. You were there when I was sad.

You were always there for me.

And I told you how much I loved you
every morning just as soon as I woke up.

But now... why Hikari!?

- [Growls]
- [Pained screaming]

Don't let me die! Don't
you love me anymore?

Daddy, Mother... please don't!

[Magical whoosh] [Pained scream]

What can I do!? I can't
hurt my mom and dad!

If I attack her,
I attack myself.

Injuring the opponent
results in injuring myself.

What on Earth should I do?

And on top of that, she seems
to be much more confident than I.

Magic Knights.

- What is that?
- Who said that?

Someone is calling to us.

Young girls from another world.

I know that voice. That's the
one we heard at Tokyo Tower.

Does this mean that you're the one
who summoned us here from Tokyo?

Princess Emeraude?

I am Princess
Emeraude of Cephiro.

Magic Knights, you
must not let sorrow take

control of your hearts
no matter what happens.

Princess Emeraude!
Why is it that you're here?

Young girls from another
world. You must be strong

of heart and you must
force yourselves to think.

Are the ones that appear
before you at this time...

Are these the ones? The
ones you hold most dearly?

He's one of my best friends!

He was always right by my
side whenever I had to cry!

When I hurt myself, he'd
be there to comfort me.

He can't speak to me in words, but
we can understand each other just fine!

He's one of the closest
friends I have in the whole world!

These are my loving parents!

They sheltered me with their love
every day while I was growing up,

and I saved it all up in
my heart for all this time!

And I'm going to return
all of it and take care

of them when they need
me when they get old.

I haven't had the chance to
repay any of their kindness yet,

there's no way I'd ever
hurt my mother and father.

I am extremely
important to myself.

If something were to happen to
me... my father, my mother, my sister...

everyone who loves
me will feel the pain.

I am still young yet, and I have
done nothing for those who love me.

So at least... I need to tell
them I appreciate their love,

because that is all that
I can do at this point.

That's why I'm
important to myself.

Think carefully. Would those that you hold
most dear ever injure any of you in any way?

Would they wish you to be hurt?
Would they want you to feel pain?

Think carefully. And then
find the Legendary Ore Escudo.

No... Hikari wouldn't
do a thing like this.

Hikari was always kind and gentle,
and he was always there to protect me.

This cannot be my friend Hikari!

That's true! My mom and dad
would never do anything to hurt me!

I will have to heal these wounds
with my magic when this is over.

[Pained grunt]

Yaaah!

How dare you attack
me posing as my friend!?

Don't you even try to
break up my happy family!

[Pained gasp] If anything should happen
to me my entire family would be devastated.

[Magical crackle]
Ruby Lightning!

Sapphire Whirlwind!
[Winds whoosh]

Emerald Typhoon!
[Magical whoosh]

Umi, you're here!

Oh, Fuu!

Miss Hikaru!

You guys were right
here the whole time?

So what were we
fighting against just now?

I have a feeling that the
three of us were being tested,

to see whether our hearts are
worthy of becoming Magic Knights.

So then... does that
mean this stuff might be...?

It's gotta be the
Legendary Ore Escudo!

And this is what I
have been waiting for!

[Surprised gasp]

Escudo can only be found by
those who pass Eterna's trials.

But I would expect nothing less from
Magic Knights summoned by the princess.

And now it's all over.

Are you planning
to take the Escudo!?

Well, what's wrong with
killing two birds with one stone?

I get some Escudo, and say
goodbye to the Magic Knights for good.

I'm not gonna let you do that!

[Pained groaning]

[Chuckles]

Looks like the poison from the
water monster earlier is taking effect.

What did you say?

Poison from the water monster?

That glow we saw earlier...

Right. This poison doesn't
have immediate results.

I tried to time is so that it would begin
to take effect exactly when I wanted,

right around the time
you would find Escudo.

No way!

[Evil laugh] And now
you shall die full of regrets!

Frozen Finale!

[Pained groans]

Looks like I'm the
winner after all.

Don't fight it, little ones.
It'll be much easier that way!

We must not... we
must not give up!

That's right. We've got to keep that
promise we made to Miss Presea.

We promised her... that
we'd return with Escudo.

We will never....
we will never...

We'll never give up!

[Magical hum]

What's that...!?

It's the Escudo!

It's being absorbed!

Into the ornaments
on our gloves!

[Magical ripple]

Hey, the armor that we got
from Clef has been changed!

It looks a whole lot
better than it did before!

It appears that this
armor is able to evolve.

You little brats!
Icicle Assault!

Umi, Fuu... are you ready!?

Okay!

Emerald Typhoon!

Sapphire Whirlwind!

[Pained screaming]

Ruby Lightning!

[Terrified screaming]

We did it!

[Magical hum]

We're back! Huh?

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

[Happy gasp] Eh!?

[Panicked shouting]

It's inside our gloves! Escudo.

We'll finally be able to make our
weapons and become the Magic Knights.

Miss Presea's waiting for us. We
should hurry back without delay.

To the Forest of Silence!

[Pained moaning]

L-Lord Zagato! I
beg you to forgive me!

To think that the Magic Knights'
power would have grown so quickly.

All I need... all I need
is one more chance.

I-I won't let you down
this time, my lord.

Stand back, Alcyone.

Hah! How pathetic.

They have now gone back
into the Forest of Silence.

Magic can't be used
no matter who goes,

so...please allow me to
go after them once more,

because I'm familiar
with their tactics.

The seal upon the Forest
of Silence has been broken.

Magic can now be used
there the same as any forest.

That's exactly why a
sorceress like I must go.

Lord Zagato...[sobs]
My beloved Lord Zagato.

That's enough.

No!!!

Spare me, Lord
Zagato! Please save me!

[Terrified screams] Lord Zagato!

Those Magic Knights. It seems
we have dismissed them too easily.

Does this mean you
believe the Magic Knights

will battle to save
Cephiro as in the legends?

She's still pathetic,
losing to little kids like that.

Lord Zagato, let me have a turn.

I really want to go out and
play with those three girls.

Go ahead, Ascot.

[Chuckles]

See you later.

Who is it today?

Today, it's Mokona!

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