Seems like the Magic Knights can bring out the good in almost everyone. Even in the beginning, I never thought Ascot was truly bad.

True. He really embodies the trope of a little kid well. I'm just glad someone slapped some sense into him (even if that was last episode. XP)

I didn't expect Fuu to start cutting up her friends.

Something more important than Cephiro? Maybe he wants to take over Earth as well?

Yeah that's what I thought too. Maybe he's holding princess Emeraude hostage so he can "drain" her magic power and use it to get into earth. After all, Emeraude was able to bring the girls into Cephiro, so she's probably able to transport people back onto earth as well.

So Caldina was only here for like, 3 episodes, and now she's no longer a bad guy. Poor Fuu, being forced to slice up her friends :(

They sure reused a lot of frames in that episode. geez o_o

Maybe Zagato has been cursed and must destroy Cephiro in order to return to his origin world, or maybe he put Cephiro in danger to intentionally invoke the legend of the Magic Knights because he needs them to fight him for some reason.

It's hard to say what it actually could be, but the show could definitely do something interesting with all that.

Caldina was cleared as an antagonist pretty quickly.

Looks like the Magic Knights are being a positive influence on others, even the ones who were their enemies

Too bad one of the girls isn't susceptible to the yuri. I have no idea why Caldina was so eager to show off her body this episode. You'd think she wouldn't even bother considering her opponents.

I can't even begin to speculate on Zagato's motives, mostly because he's hardly been in it. But, the one scene, a couple episodes back, where he was conversing with Emeraude after she saved the girls makes it seem like defeating the Magic Knights won't affect his plan one way or another.

"...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?"

Her tits jiggled? In a shoujo anime? The female viewers must've loved that part.

Zagato seems more interesting now that we know he isnt just generic baddie.

This is where we see Caldina become friends with the Knights.

So funny reading these comments seeing what ideas people have, you obviously didn't read the manga. The anime does deviate a lot so maybe you're not even wrong! And yes Caldina is like that in the manga too, showing off her bod, seeking attention, just it isn't quite so surprising when she does it from a comic panel and not directly at the Magic Knights. Oh and no leggings on her in the manga, just the bikini. Basically everyone outside the three girls is decidedly hot, I don't know who Clamp were aiming exactly with this one but its very extra.
