Having destroyed the Pillar system, the Magic Knights replace it with a completely alien system. Which is odd, when you consider that the end is a modified form of colonialism. Growing Ascot up into a tall, handsome young man for Umi was a nice touch and even Ferio gets a power up. Moreover, their dynamic is subtle enough that a child could read this without any concern. Eagle and Lantis are presented very much as a couple, but when Hikaru comes en scene, she could reasonably be paired with either of them – or both – in a way that makes sense. The story is mostly taken up with relationship building, rather than fighting, and the conclusion, while predictable, was far more satisfactory than the scattered, messy ending of the anime.Ī great deal of the story follows our enemies and, instead of giving us reason to hate them, we learn to like them. This is complicated by the fact that their enemies all turn out to be decent people who are just trying to help their own worlds – and the knowledge that the Pillar system of Cefiro is innately, dangerously flawed. Joined by old allies, the Magic Knights have to find a way to protect Cefiro.

The Magic Knights return to find what’s left of Cefiro under attack from three nearby planets – Autozam, Fahren and Cezita. Clef and the others are gathered in a castle floating above the planet surface. It turns out that now that Emeraude is gone, Cefiro is collapsing. And one day, when they meet up at Tokyo Tower, they find themselves transported back, but not to any place they recognize as Cefiro! Fuu particularly, has reason to go, as Ferio is there. Umi, Fuu and Hikaru, having returned to Earth after fighting Zagato, are…unhappy. What’s left, then, is a far more straightforward, much less morality-play like story. In fact, the lack of Nova and her annoying mother went a considerable distance to cleaning up the exceedingly messy plot. Unlike the second season of the anime, Volume 2 of the Magic Knight Rayearth manga does not have a Yuri subplot.
