Magic Knight Rayearth (1994–1995): Season 2, Episode 9 - Iguru to Torawareta Hikaru - full transcript
Clef told me about how you were the
only Magic Swordsman in all of Cephiro.
Can't I do anything to somehow change
your mind about the Pillar of Cephiro?
I'm sorry.
My country would benefit a great
deal from Cephiro's Pillar system.
[Thrusters whoosh]
[Machine gun rattles]
BOTH: [Strained groans]
[Beam whooshes]
[Surprised grunt]
[Electricity crackles]
[Pained groans]
[Pained scream]
Eagle and the Captive Hikaru
[Frantic panting]
[Magic hums, ripples]
Selece!
Windam!
[Electricity crackles]
It's Hikaru. She's in danger.
I assume that you
heard it as well, Miss Umi.
[Affirming sigh]
What could have
happened to Hikaru?
I do not know.
However, I am certain that
Miss Hikaru must be
in some kind of danger.
Let's go find her, Fuu.
Yeah.
[Thrusters whoosh]
[Shrill laughter]
Death will soon embrace everyone!
[Insane laughter]
[Frustrated grunt] Huh?
[Determined grunt]
You won't escape.
I'll never let you get
away, Lord Zagato!
Astora!
[Booming explosion]
[Frightened shouts]
[Startled gasp]
I can feel it. A dark, ominous
presence coming from you.
The same presence that
surrounds all of Cephiro.
Tell me, what is that darkness?
Ah, why it's Lady
Debonair, my dear Zagato.
Your Zagato has passed away.
Oh, Lord Zagato.
My dear, beloved Lord Zagato.
Answer me! Who's the one
called Debonair? Where is she?
[Giggles softly] Lady Debonair is
somewhere very close by, my lord.
Close by?
[Giggles softly]
[Magic hums, booms]
[Shocked gasp]
Puu puu, puu?
Lantis!
I am going to go after Hikaru.
Puu-puu puu! Puu-puu-puu!
You can communicate
with Master Mage Clef, right?
Puu puu, puu!
Please do.
[Startled shout]
[Magic hums] Now, creature!
I summon thee!
[Lightning crashes, thunder booms]
[Horse neighs]
[Determined grunt]
- Wait! I'll go with you!
- Puu puu!
[Startled grunts]
- [Frustrated groans]
- Puuuuu.
Hey you!
Would you get off of me already?
No one's going to
stop me from going!
[Horse neighs]
Wait up, Lantis!
Puu puu.
Puu.
[Light gleams, hums]
[Startled gasp]
[Light booms] [Strained groan]
Don't you dare close your eyes!
[Startled gasp]
Hikaru. Very soon.
We'll see each other very soon!
Who's there?
I'm Nova.
I was born for you, Hikaru.
My life is the same as yours.
The same as mine?
Hikaru.
I was born just for you, Hikaru.
Just for you.
[Giggles]
Because you are... you are...
[Light loudly hums]
You are Cephiro's...
[Light blares]
[Pained gasp]
Wait! Nova!
[Startled groan]
[Frustrated sigh]
[Startled gasp] Huh?
Where am I?
[Beam whooshes]
[Electricity crackles, pained groans]
[Pained scream]
That's right.
I was fighting that white
robot, and passed
out when it fired on me.
Young girl from another world.
[Magic ripples] Rayearth...
I'm sorry. It was all
because I couldn't fight well.
Are you... are you alright?
Young girl from another world...
When thy consciousness was
lost, I returned to my own dimension.
Then you weren't hurt, Rayearth!
Thank goodness.
If danger befalls thee, do
not hesitate to call my name.
[Magic ripples] Do not hesitate.
Yes, I promise.
Thank you so much.
Huh?
Huh?
So, you're awake!
What are these clothes?
Oh, sorry about that...
but we're just putting
your clothes through
a little analysis.
Analysis?
When we get the data
back, we'll make sure
we clean them and
give them back to you.
[Uncertain gasp]
Can you stand?
Uh huh.
- [Pained sigh]
- Oh!
Oh. Thanks a lot.
- You know, you're pretty cute.
- Huh?
I mean we'd better
hurry up or Geo's gonna
chew me up and spit
me out for being late.
This way.
[Startled gasp]
If you don't wanna fall, it'd be
a good idea to hold on to me.
'Kay!
Hey, by the way!
What's your name?
- Hikaru Shidou.
- Shudou?
But everyone just
calls me Hikaru.
Hikaru, huh?
You know, even your
name's pretty cute.
What's that?
[Nervous chuckle]
[Panel hums]
Please, after you.
[Startled gasp]
[Angry groan, pained sigh]
Oh!
Try not to make any
sudden movements.
There was a magnetic
field in that barrier.
Unfortunately a side effect is
that it disrupts the nervous system.
[Frustrated groan]
The pain and haziness should fade pretty
soon. At least from my experience.
I sincerely apologize for
treating you so roughly.
[Surprised gasp]
Allow me to
introduce myself again.
I am Eagle Vision of Autozam.
Commander of this
fine vessel, the NSX.
Well, I still find it
pretty hard to believe.
Is it really true you're a
Magic Knight, young lady?
Ah...
My name's Geo Metro, and
what can I call you, young lady?
Hikaru. My name's Hikaru Shidou.
Oh... That's a very unusual name.
I think it's a cute name!
My name's Zazu.
Zazu Torque. Nice to meetcha!
Nice to meet you.
Oh, now that I think of it...
if you don't mind me asking,
are you really a
young lady, young lady?
Oh yeah!
I heard that people of Cephiro can
actually change their
ages with their willpower.
Sure seems that way.
Does that mean that you're
not a young lady after all?
Come on, you've
gotta be kidding me!
Please don't tell me
that you're older than I am!
But it's okay. I don't mind
going out with an older woman.
[Laughs]
Actually, I just turned
fourteen years old this year.
Fourteen years old? Alright!
She's actually younger than I am!
Yeah, but you're shorter!
[Frustrated growl] I'm
gonna grow taller this year!
Oh yeah? Are you gonna
grow taller than the FTO, kid?
[Chuckles]
I uh...
I'm not from Cephiro. I actually
come from a place called Tokyo.
Tokyo?
A place you would
call another world.
Another world you say?
Uh...
So, the legend that
only those summoned
from another world can
become Magic Knights
was true after all. I never believed
such an outrageous story could be real.
You mean you know about
the legend of the Magic Knights?
Huh?
- Well!
- Hey! Get off me!
Guess I'll catch you later,
young lady from another world!
Geo, put me down!
See you later, Hikaru!
Huh?
Would you care for a
little something sweet?
Hmm?
Geo has a bit of a sweet tooth.
We come here for
our strategy meetings,
so he keeps a stash of
sweets for himself here.
Would you care to
have a bite to eat?
Oh...
I'm sorry.
Perhaps you don't really like sweets.
I love sweet things.
I'm glad.
But doesn't that
belong to that guy, Geo?
We shouldn't eat
it without asking him.
Don't worry about it.
I know that Geo stashes another
box of sweets somewhere in his room.
As for this one, why
don't we finish it for him?
[Chuckles]
Um, Fuu?
Yes?
About Hikaru. Don't you think she's
been acting a little bit weird lately?
You noticed it too?
Her unusual behavior?
And she asked out of nowhere to go out
by herself to search for more people.
She does not seem to
be sleeping well, either.
And sometimes she has
a dazed look in her eyes
when we're in the
middle of a conversation.
Almost as if she's having a
daydream or some sort of vision.
Yeah, like she's having
a nightmare or something.
Suddenly becoming dead silent,
or looking like she's going to cry.
I'm worried, because
Hikaru always tries to
carry the weight of the
world on her shoulders.
Because she tries to solve
every problem by herself,
no matter how
hard or painful it is.
I may sound selfish saying this,
but I want Hikaru to tell me
whenever something's bothering her.
You know what I mean, Fuu?
I probably can't help
her with everything,
but I really wanna be
there for her at the very least.
You truly are kind, Miss Umi.
I think you're a very good person.
What!? Where did that come from?
What do you mean by that?
You truly are a kind
person, Miss Umi.
[Nervous laugh] You know, Fuu... you don't
normally compliment people like that.
I'm really just glad
to be your friend.
Hmm. Well thank you, Fuu.
In any case, it is certain that
something has happened to Miss Hikaru.
Let's hurry!
[Thrusters whoosh]
So Lantis is here now.
He has finally returned home to Cephiro.
I see.
So you know Lantis too, then.
I believe that he
spent the longest period
of time during his
travels in Autozam.
Between the time he left Cephiro,
and the time he finally returned here.
So does that mean you
were friends with him?
I don't quite know
how to put this.
I believe you should be familiar with my
FTO by now, that white machine I pilot.
Mm-hmm.
It was around the time
that Lantis came to Autozam.
There just happened to be a
test for fighters around that time.
A test for fighters?
[Crowd cheers]
[Thrusters whoosh]
[Display beeps]
[Cannon booms]
Huh?
[Shattering explosion]
And before that time,
my FTO was undefeated.
And you can imagine
my surprise when I
finally met the person
who had defeated me.
[Chuckles]
I find Lantis to be rather
dark and unemotional.
Yeah, but... actually, I...
Well, he's a nice guy!
Huh, that is very true.
But I betrayed him.
Huh?
I'm sorry, I was
talking to myself.
I want you to tell me honestly, why
is Autozam trying to invade Cephiro?
Please, tell me what
you're after, exactly.
[Surprised gasp]
Hmm.
Autozam has an extremely
mechanized and automated society.
It quantifies mental
energy, and uses it
as the force to drive
the nation forward.
Mental energy?
We live in a fully
automated world.
A social order that grew,
even after it left human hands.
And one day, we
finally reached our limits.
The world was so mechanized,
that as the price for convenience,
it took mental energy
away from the people.
I'm sure you can imagine what happens
to a land once its only energy source,
the foundation which
everything was dependent upon,
is finally and
irreversibly consumed.
If this continues, nothing will
be left of Autozam but a memory.
What I am searching for is hopefully
a larger source of mental energy,
in other words, a source of mental
energy like Cephiro's Pillar System,
that is powerful enough
to support an entire nation.
Yeah, but the Pillar is...
Huh?
These belong to you. I'm sorry we
borrowed them without asking you.
That glove of yours...
when we attempted to
measure the amount
of mental energy in it,
for some reason, the
readings went off all our scales.
Huh?
Feel free to change
back into your own clothes.
Though you do look cute in that.
You know, Zazu actually
made that outfit you're wearing.
Huh?
Zazu was really quite
excited to be able to
have a girl visit us here
on the ship, you know.
Wait a minute, Eagle!
The one who becomes the Pillar
of Cephiro lives a very sad life.
They can only think of
Cephiro, and they're not
allowed to think of
anything or anyone else.
No one deserves
to live a life like that.
I know all about it.
Lantis already explained it all to me.
Then why are you doing this?
[Booming crash]
[Magic hums]
[Horse neighs]
Lantis, it's you!
I'd like to take
her back, if I may.
That would be a problem.
[Magic ripples]
Hey, stop it!
[Swords clash]
You're still as
strong as ever, Lantis.
Eagle, why did you
come to Cephiro?
Without assistance,
Autozam is doomed!
The only way out is to
borrow Cephiro's Pillar System.
Are you saying you're
going to sacrifice yourself?
[Frustrated growls]
[Knocking]
- Huh?
What's wrong, Eagle!?
What the devil's going on!?
Hikaru.
Nova?
I finally get to see you!
This presence...
[Magic ripples]
- Huh?
- Huh?
[Magic ripples]
Where am I?
Huh!?
Hikaru. Finally we meet. Finally.
Hello Hikaru.
My name's Nova.
I'm the one who's
going to kill you, Hikaru.
Nova.
[Giggles]
only Magic Swordsman in all of Cephiro.
Can't I do anything to somehow change
your mind about the Pillar of Cephiro?
I'm sorry.
