Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })This Shoujo series is one of the most popular creations of the creative collective known as CLAMP, blending Magical Girl, Humongous Mecha and Heroic Fantasy into a unique and entertaining mix.Three schoolgirls—the boisterous Hikaru Shidou, the graceful Umi Ryuuzaki, and the bookish Fuu Hououji—are visiting Tokyo Tower on a class trip when they are suddenly whisked away to the magical land of Cephiro. There, they discover that they have been summoned to become Magic Knights and go on a grand quest to save Princess Emeraude, whose prayers sustain the peace of Cephiro, from the clutches of High Priest Zagato.In the grand tradition of Eastern RPGs, the trio must travel across the land seeking out key characters to acquire their weapons, armour, upgrades and Summon Magic. Over the course of their journey, the three strangers gradually learn about each other and forge a true bond of friendship; a bond that is sorely tested as they approach the climax of the ancient prophecy and discover their true purpose as Magic Knights.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Magic Knight Rayearth, despite its deceptively simple "schoolgirls on a quest" appearance, is a story with layers of motivation and backstory behind the events of Cephiro's crisis. What seems at first to be a simple, straight-line adventure/quest plot turns out to be darker and far more complicated, and the final revelation of the prophecy's true meaning forces Hikaru, Umi and Fuu to make mature, grown-up choices that belie the earlier impression of "fairytale fun".The manga has a sequel, which deals primarily with the aftermath of the Magic Knights' action in the first half. The anime is split into two seasons, with the second season deviating more from the manga than the first.Other media include Rayearth OVA, a Super Famicom game done as a turn-based RPG, and a Sega Saturn version released in the United States by Working Designs. The latter version is noteworthy not so much for the actual game, but for the Development Hell that it went through - it was delayed for so long that it ended up as the final title ever released for the Saturn in the U.S.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })It has its own wiki here.There's also the Character Sheets. | |

Rescue Romance: Ferio does this in season two of the anime when Fuu is held captive by Fahren. Even though she was overcoming all of Aska's obstacles on her own. (He even defies the Battle Couple trope by stopping her from casting a spell and then giving her a Bridal Carry out.) | |

Darker and Edgier: The Saturn game kills off several characters. It also depicts only the first half, though the ending is somewhat different of the one from the first season of the anime series. The second half of the story, where Cephiro is mostly falling apart. The O.V.A. is also darker than both the manga and anime. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: The Super Nintendo game had two endings in them. Downer Ending: Zagato and Emeraude are killed and the three girls are transported back to Tokyo Tower, only for them to be too shocked and Hikaru insisting that they have to go back to Cephiro. Bittersweet Ending: Zagato and Emeraude are killed and the girls are teleported to Emeraude's palace. There, they apologize to Clef and Presea, as well as Ferio who reveals himself to be the prince. While the girls are torn with grief, Emeraude and Zagato's spirits appear in front of them and thanking them for allowing them to be together now, before transporting the girls home with less guilt. This ending was only available if the player managed to get certain items from the Guest Star Party Members. | |

Poor Communication Kills: If anyone had told the girls the truth about Emeraude and Zagato, they might have been able to figure out another course of action. In Rayearth II, they do their best to stop a repeat of this trope by finding out what the invaders want and telling them what the Pillar System really means. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: There's a lot of new content in the anime compared to the manga, where the girls progress in a straight line from weapons to Mashin to final battle. The anime shows the girls' travel in more detail, which is used to develop them and the people of Cephiro. The Sega game takes it even further, with multiple characters and villages added for mini-quests. The SNES game, while mostly sticking with the manga's plot, also adds new towns, expands upon the locations visited in the manga (adding new events, larger dungeons, etc) and most notably gives the Magic Knights many new spells that never existed in any other incarnation of the story. | |

"I Know You Are in There Somewhere" Fight: Fuu tries to reach Hikaru and Umi when Caldina hypnotizes them into attacking her and implores them to dodge when Caldina starts puppetmastering Fuu. It doesn't work, but she manages to break it by attacking Caldina herself. The Final Battle against Princess Emeraude is like this. Emeraude is in there, somewhere, but she implores the girls to finish it now before that part of her vanishes into her grief for Zagato. | |

Worf Had the Flu: With the Ascot battle at the Water Shrine. While Umi is entranced, he summons a fire-based monster against Hikaru and Fuu. Naturally it absorbs her fire magic, and Fuu notes that her magic would also make it worse since it would add oxygen to the mix. It's only when Umi comes out of it and can use her water magic that it can be fought, and by that time the other two are down. | |

Gratuitous English | |
| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_2e6a41e0 | comment |
Gratuitous English: Actually becomes a small but significant plot point in Rayearth II, where Fuu contrasts the English title "Magic Knight" against Dal, Pharle, etcetera. It's because Mokona, the Creator, made Earth before Cephiro and decided that the self-destruct mechanism for the Pillar would come from Earth. | |

Older Than They Look | |
| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_2f36d97 | comment |
Older Than They Look: Anyone in Cephiro can invoke this trope. But poor Hikaru is mistaken for a grade schooler, both by her schoolmates as well as Umi and Fuu when they first meet her, because she's so short and innocent. Lampshaded in Rayearth II, when Eagle reminds Zazu that just because Hikaru looks his age doesn't mean she really is. | |

Sorting Algorithm of Evil | |
| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_323f135b | comment |
Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Zigzagged with Zagato and more pronounced in the anime. Alcyone is a high-powered opponent (which Fuu directly lampshades by saying they haven't leveled up enough) and she nearly kills Umi on the second encounter, but the girls still manage to dispatch her. The next one is Ascot. In the manga he summons monster after monster during their single battle. In the anime he attacks them on their travels with powerful monsters that have one easily-exploitable weakness, then monsters that can go toe-to-toe with the Mashin. Caldina is strictly a hypnotist whose control was broken as soon as she tried to puppetmaster a conscious foe. Zagato is unquestionably the most powerful of all, but he doesn't properly fight the heroes until the Final Battle. He seems to be spending most of that time trying to somehow demonstrate to Emeraude why she should give up on the Magic Knight suicide instead of just squashing them from the off. | |

Distant Finale | |
| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_3318a1cb | comment |
Distant Finale: The final moments of the final episode are set one year later. In English translation of the manga it's clear that some time has passed, but it's not said how long. The original Japanese gives the year of the manga's epilogue as being 1996, which, if you assume that the series happened in the year the first chapter was published in (1994), would mean approximately two years have passed. | |

Trailers Always Lie: Promo art for the second half of the story frequently puts Lantis with the antagonists. It's even worse with the anime, where he's included with Debonair and Nova. (It shows all the new characters together, but everyone but Lantis and Primera are villains—and Lantis' allegiance is initially ambiguous.) | |

| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_34de376f | comment |
Backup Twin: When Presea is killed in the anime, a HUGE plot hole appeared since she was alive in the manga. CLAMP fixed it by introducing Sierra, Presea's twin younger sister, who pretends to be Presea so she and Clef can keep the girls under a sort-of illusion that Emeraude revived Presea as her last wish, lest they'll be even more broken. | |

You Shall Not Pass!: Hikaru does this once in the manga, twice in the anime. In both instances, she stands directly between the enemy (Lafarga and Zagato, respectively) and her incapacitated friends, despite being severely outmatched and injured by their repeated attacks. This proves to Rayearth that her heart is strong enough to be a Magic Knight. | |

Because Destiny Says So: Once summoned, the Magic Knights have to awaken the Mashin and save Cephiro. No buts. It's given a dark Deconstruction at the end of the first half with Emeraude, who believes that she has exactly two choices: love Zagato at the cost of her world, or die. At the end of Part II, Hikaru rejects this attitude and takes a third option by saying "A God I Am Not". | |

| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_4b44e74b | comment |
Mukokuseki: A CLAMP staple, though it's a bit oddly used here. Despite the "big eyes", all of the girls do have a characteristic "slant" to their eyes that many of the Cephirans don't, marking their ethnicity, and Hikaru's complexion is typically depicted as pretty standardly Japanese. However, none of the girls dye their hair, so they are, apparently, a natural fire red, a natural blue and a blonde, and both Umi and Fuu have skin lighter than most caucasians... yet they're still meant to be totally Japanese with no ancestry oddness. Obviously doesn't apply to any of the Cephirans, since they're technically aliens. | |

Synchronization | |
| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_539179db | comment |
Synchronization: Fuu's battle in the Spring of Eterna involves this, since her opponent is a doppleganger—the injuries it inflicts on her are reflected on itself, and vice-versa. The Mashin reflect the movements of their Knights. Any damage the Mashin incurs will be reflected on the girl inside—and if the Mashin's giant version of the Escudo sword is broken, so is the normal-sized one. | |

All Therapists Are Muggles | |
| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_55af5b73 | comment |
All Therapists Are Muggles: When the second half begins, the girls' families (Hikaru's brothers, Umi's parents and Fuu's older sister) are deeply concerned over the mysterious depression they've developed since that class trip to Tokyo Tower. But even when Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu appreciate their efforts, they can't exactly say that they went to another world and killed two people. | |

White-and-Grey Morality | |
| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_58962105 | comment |
White and Grey Morality: The Magic Knights themselves are definitely good guys, but Season 1 Big Bad Zagato is an Anti-Villain. Plus, the Autozam, Chizeta, and Fahren factions are Anti Villains as well. And in anime season 2, Nova is also a more sympathetic character. The only completely villainous villain is the anime-only Debonair. | |

Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp" | |
| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_5ac34441 | comment |
Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": Cephiro's titles are non-Japanese, non-English words. In the English translations, Master Mage Clef is called "Guru", Ultimate Blacksmith Presea is the "Pharle", Master Swordsman Lafarga is "Dal", Summoner Ascot is "Palu", and High Priest Zagato's title is "Sol". The original Japanese has a consistent pattern of all Cephiran titles ending in "-ru", so "Pharle" is "Faru", "Dal" is "Daru", "Palu" is "Paru", and "Sol" is "Soru". Caldina also gives her title as "Raru" in the original Japanese. | |

Planet of Hats: Cephiro has a relatively varied environment and culture for a fantasy-RPG world, but the Invading Countries... Autozam: Dedicated to high-technology based on mental power. Its primary exports are Humongous Mecha, interstellar warships, and ultra-advanced weaponry. Stands for the USA. Fahren: An entire world dedicated to Chinese motifs and mythology, with a few concessions to Japanese Onmyōdō. Makes abundant use of the Asia Rune Chant, magic circles, and paper doll summoning. And, for some reason, ninja. Stands for China. Chizeta: An oddly-shaped world with a teeny-tiny habitable biosphere, inspired by Arabian Nights motifs. Even the Princessess' starship is shaped like an oil lamp, and, true to form, two muscular and unsettling djinn burst from its spout at their masters' command. Stands for the Middle East. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality | |
| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_7335ffa9 | comment |
Grey and Gray Morality: In Part I, Alcyone and Innouva follow Zagato out of love, Ascot because Zagato promised his monsters would no longer be persecuted, and Caldina for money. Zagato himself is trying to prevent Emeraude's death at the hands of the Magic Knights, which is why he's trying to kill them despite their young age. Clef, while a good guy, obscures the truth about Emeraude's situation and the girls are left shattered when they're forced to kill her. In Part II, the invaders have understandable motives. Eagle wants to transplant the Pillar System to his polluted country and save Lantis from killing himself by trying to end the Pillar System. Tarta and Tatra want to colonize Cephiro because their country has no room. Aska is a capricious child who thinks Cephiro would be a great toy. None of them (barring Eagle) understand the full implications of becoming the Pillar, but they still do things that hurt each other and the Magic Knights. The only truly evil character is the anime-only Debonair, who is a personification of Cephiro's despair. | |

Spell My Name with an S | |
| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_89a17726 | comment |
Spell My Name with an "S": Between the two manga translations, the video games, and the anime, there's quite a lot of this. Seres/Celes/Selese/Ceres and more for Umi's Mashin. Its official name is Selece. The manga calls the Humongous Mecha "Mashin", but it's rendered as "Rune God" in the anime (despite the Japanese dialogue clearly using the word Mashin). Tarta/Tata. Lafarga/Rafarga/Rafalga. Autozam/Othsam, for some manga translations. The Sega Saturn game called Emeraude 'Emerald' and Zagato 'Zagat', and renamed Hikaru's dog from Hikari to Flash. | |

Forgot About Her Powers: Tends to happen a lot in the anime. The trio will wail on a monster ineffectively with either swords or magic for a while before remembering they can do both, or use only one of their multiple spells. In one instance, Umi is grabbed by a flying monster and Fuu stops Hikaru from using a fire spell, but doesn't even think about using the spell she created specifically to harmlessly restrain an enemy. Often done in combination with The Worf Effect. | |

Transformation Sequence: Downplayed. There's a big deal when Clef first gives them magic (and the sequence is used in the anime's opening), but the armor evolutions don't take up a huge amount of pages or screentime. Similarly, a big deal is made when they first enter the Mashin, but after that it's just a beam of light. | |

Foreshadowing: In the anime, an illusion of Princess Emeraude tries to kill the girls. Also, in Episode 20 of the second season, there's a scene that shifts between shots of Hikaru, Eagle, and the changing Proof of the Pillar several times. Bucketloads in the Rayearth II manga. Pay attention to Mokona's facial expression. And the paneling whenever Hikaru talks about the Pillar System. | |

Mirror Monster: In episode 45, as Hikaru looks into her mirror, the thoughtful expression on her reflection changes into a Slasher Smile, and her reflection emerges as none other than Nova, who then remains in the castle; after being repelled by Hikaru's amulet, Nova decides to seek out Lantis, leaving Hikaru with one of her minions. | |

Bond Creatures: The Rune Gods/Mashin. Whatever injuries they sustain, the Knights will, too, albeit at a smaller scale. Rayearth getting his shield sliced in half results in Hikaru having a very nasty cut on her arm. | |

"End of the World" Special: When Hikaru becomes the Pillar, she immediately divests the power to every individual in Cephiro so that the world is no longer dependent on a single person who can have no wishes for herself. This restores the world and prevents the tragedy of Emeraude and Zagato being repeated. On the last page of the manga, Hikaru turns to the reader and asks them to come up with a new name for the place. | |

| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_c435ec5d | comment |
Aesop Amnesia: At the start of the Season 2, Clef is sincerely guilty over having deceived the girls about their true purpose and says he should have told them the truth from the beginning. But at the same time he concocts a new lie that Presea was resurrected, when it's really her twin sister. His reasoning? That doing otherwise would somehow break their hearts more, even though they had no reason to think Presea wouldn't still be dead and he could just tell them before they went in that she had an identical twin. The lie was for Ascot's benefit too, as his creatures killed Presea, but it it still goes against the lesson and hurts Sierra badly, not to mention he isn't happy about it either.. | |

Spoiler Opening | |
| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_cd83fa5b | comment |
Spoiler Opening: The first opening combines this with Bait-and-Switch Credits, as it briefly but prominently features the first season's Humongous Mecha showdown with Zagato, and the first indication that there are any mechs only happens when Umi meets hers. | |

Nightmare Face: Vigor (one of Ascot's monsters that can take on a cuter, smaller form) gets a very creepy face when he starts turning back into a monster, with his eyes glowing, his head slowly tilting, and his fur all wild. | |

Reasoning with God: In the manga, this is how Fuu and Umi convince Mokona to let them and Hikaru bring Eagle back alive from the Road of the Pillar. They appeal to the evidence that he had some real affection for them in their travels, rather than an unsympathetic God figure. It works. | |

Innocuously Important Episode: The battle with Caldina (or the last battle with Caldina in the anime). She tells Fuu that at least the Magic Knights have a goal—compared to Zagato, whose reason for this hullabaloo is basically unknown. Until then, the three girls had genuinely thought that Zagato was simply out to take over Cephiro. This doesn't come back until the Wham Episode. | |

Dub Name Change | |
| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: In the Portuguese version: Hikaru to Lucy, Umi to Marina, and Fuu to Anne. Other international dubs (Italy, Latin America, Philippines) used these names or a variation on them, such as "Anemone" for Fuu in the Italian dub or "Anais" in the Latin American Spanish dub. "Luce" (still pronounced "Lucy") and "Marine" were variations for the other two that popped up in dubs. note "Luce", "Marine", and "Anemone" were the suggested names long given by TMS for localized versions of the series. At least 13 episodes were dubbed in English with these names, but the project fell through due to the lack of network interest. Media Blasters eventually acquired the license for the series and went with retaining the original Japanese names. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu's given names relate their respective elements, and their family names relate to their Rune Gods in some way. Virtually everyone else in the series is named after a car. | |

Captain's Log | |
| Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga) / int_fdaf37f0 | comment |
Captain's Log: The Saturn game has each girl write illustrated journal entries about the various towns and perils they encounter (with some in-universe Alternate Character Interpretation and Unreliable Narrator in some entries). Innouva gets in on it, too. | |
