Kaleido Star (2003) s02e12 Episode Script

The Angel's Amazing Counterattack

Everyone, Kaleido Star is about to start.
When you watch Kaleido Star, please keep your room bright, and sit as far from the TV as you can.
Well, well, well.
Have you ever had times when you didn't know what you wanted to do? That's exactly the way I am right now.
I worked hard, trying to get into Kaleido Stage.
Then I worked hard so that I'd be acknowledged by everyone, and I worked hard, trying to catch up with Miss Layla.
But, I wonder what I'm working hard for now? No Not good.
Not good.
I can't become a star with my feelings all wishy-washy like this.
I can't! I can't! Tattoo Kiss hajimari wa aka to kuro no Passion Toki ni urahara na kokoro o tayori ni Tattoo Kiss kirifuda wa mirai o kaeru Mission New Wings Tattoo Kiss kirifuda wa mirai o kaeru Mission Koi ni aimai na kotae wa iranai Arienai genjitsu minai furi shite mo Bet Egatai shinjitsu Can U feel me now?

This is my duel with fate! Demon Spiral! Her movements are too irregular; it's impossible to follow.
Amazing Can he grab her? Not good.
She doesn't have enough height.
A devil's maneuver? That certainly might be appropriate for a partner of mine.
Then It seems this has been decided.
''Amazing Angelic Counterattack'' Even for someone like Sora, it must be quite a shock this time.
I can't even say anything to her.
Let's leave her alone right now.
Sora Demon Spiral May had a shoulder injury, but she used that to invent a new maneuver.
And she got the Phoenix Ticket.
I Sora Miss Layla To tell you the truth, I didn't think May would go that far either.
I was actually moved by the fact that she invented a new maneuver by taking advantage of her injuries.
I'm sorry.
Three years ago, before Yuri and I participated in the Circus Festival, Kalos told us this: Listen very carefully, both of you.
If you cannot win, don't come back here.
If you cannot win in the Circus Festival, you two have nowhere to come back to.
The Boss told you something like that? That was why I didn't have any choice but to win.
But you won your duel with fate.
You really are amazing.
What are you going to do now? I will try to improve my skills so that I can keep up with May.
Sora, are you thinking you lost to May because you didn't have enough skills? What? If I thought you didn't have enough skills, I never would have recommended you.
You lost because the festival meant only that much to you.
Am I right? No, I never thought that way.
To me, it was something I needed to enter and win by all means.
To me, it was worth that much.
But, for you, it was not worth that much.
Sora, I will ask you one more time.
Do you seriously want to participate in the Circus Festival no matter what happens? Yes! Once you make up your mind and decide to seriously follow through, you never give up.
I know that better than anyone else.
But here you are, right now, having given up on everything.
That's proof that you weren't serious about it.
I think I told you after the Salome show.
I can't feel enough of that edge from you right now to be scared of you.
You've lost track of what's important.
I wanted you to enter to the festival.
Miss Layla! I can't believe what I did I I betrayed Miss Layla's expectations.
Sora, Sora, take the tape off! I want to do something.
I have to do something.
What can I do? Tell me, Fool! I don't know the answer either.
You're no help.
Aren't you supposed to be on my side? Can't you give me some clever advice or something? I am the spirit of the stage.
I'm neither enemy nor ally.
One more time, I want to have one more chance.
Oh, I can't believe I feel this way at this point.
I'm really pathetic.
The only thing I can tell you is this.
The deadline for Circus Festival entries hasn't passed yet.
Sagittarius is still not able to find its way out from the darkness.
But, nearby Sagittarius, I can see another arrow; an arrow shining, as if it's guiding her way out from the darkness.
Another arrow? Phoenix Tickets are the ''seed'' right which were given to those two who won.
Two Two! There's one more ticket! There is! There is! There is! There's another ticket! I can't breathe! There's another ticket! There's another ticket! I'm gonna wee! There's another ticket! I'm gonna wee! Yuri is studying in Paris right now, you know.
The Circus Festival will be held in Paris too.
It's perfect! Take me to Paris, quick! Paris? Yuri hasn't even registered for the festival! He might not have any intention of being in it.
First of all, it's impossible to go to Paris by cab.
Impossible or not, there's nothing to do but ask! I realized that I can't just keep moping about how I lost to May.
I just have to acknowledge my defeat and do what I can now.
I'll end up being absent from Kids' Stage, but Marion's accepted it, so things should be okay.
Don't you think Sora's back to her usual self? If it's true, we can't stop her now.
Sora! Rosetta! This is the guide book for Paris which I used to use a long time ago.
There's a some French phrases too, although it's not much.
Thank you.
This will help.
Also, a winter coat.
It's cold over there.
Rosetta, thank you.
Bye! Go, Sora! Paris It must be nice.
The clown I admire, Mr.
Charlie is there.
Oh! So Anna, you're rarin' to go too? Well, if you put it like that, I'm PARIN' to go! Je Je Je t'aime.
That's The God of Death, Leon! The God of Death's come back.
I'll finish checking in.
Amazing.
Leon, I've not seen you for a long time.
Emma So you remember me? I'm glad.
Are you his new partner? That's right.
I am Leon's partner, May Wong.
Poor you.
Once the Circus Festival is over, you'll be discarded too.
Hey! Just who are you?! Hey, please don't put us on the same floor as Leon.
He'll make my performers nervous.
If you can't arrange this, I'll change hotels! Please wait for a moment There is a message for Mr.
Ken Robbins from Kaleido Stage.
What? For me? ''I will create a chance for you to show off.
'' So, did you hear it too? The whisper of the God of Death? I will create a perfect chance for you to show off in today's show.
''The whisper of the God of Death''? Were you also Leon's partner? Partner? Nobody can be Leon's partner.
Nobody but her.
Her? Sora's in Paris? Er The drama school where Yuri is I can't read French! Where? Where? Where is he? YURI! I see.
I'll try to look for her too.
Goodbye.
Well, okay, but where should I look? Er Me-Merci.
My money's all gone after I took the cab.
Well, but Yuri is here.
Non.
What? He is not here? Mais, c'est bien ici le Conservatoire Excuse Oh, what shall I do If you're looking for Yuri, he wasn't in class today.
What? So, he is here, isn't he? Yes.
You liar! Excuse me, but do you know where Yuri is now? He's, how should I put it, he marches to his own beat, or shall I say, he's difficult to approach But anyway, I don't really know.
Don't you know where he lives either? Well Sorry.
Bye.
So, there is no clue.
What shall I do? The Circus Festival I'm sure I'm sure Yuri will come here too.
I'm sure! I'm sure! Oh So, this is the hall.
Wow, they're performing! Oh Merci, merci.
Oh, I know! If I make some money here, I can look for Yuri, and I can eat something! I'm not at a dead end yet.
I'm not! I'm not! Hey, they're getting fired up.
Oh, Mute and Alice.
She is something of a performer.
She's amazing.
But I've never seen her before.
She's pretty good.
Who is she? Ta-da! Huh? Super! Brava! Oh Merci! Merci! Merci! Wow, now I can eat something with this.
Hey, are you all right? Did you hurt yourself? Oh I understand what he is saying.
I'm lucky.
What?! What did you say? Hey! Really I thought you hurt yourself.
I was worried.
Whoever would have thought she was just hungry? I'm sorry! I haven't eaten anything since I got to Paris, you see.
Then it's impressive that you can manage maneuvers like that.
I wanted to enter the Circus Festival no matter what, you see Are you going to participate in the festival? I want to! Mute and Alice, you too? Yeah.
We want to win in the festival and get the world's attention, and organize a performance team with these guys right here, and travel around.
That is our dream.
Everyone's dreams rest heavily on Mute's shoulders.
Well, I guess.
Wow! Didn't you also come here to make your dream come true, Sora? Don't give up that dream.
An angel always keeps an eye on us somewhere.
An angel My angel Sora! Yes! Huh? What do you know, it's Sora.
Yuri! Yuri Don't tell me he's THE Yuri Killian.
Does she know Yuri Killian who won the last time? Who on Earth is she? Yuri! Oh, I'm glad.
I finally found you.
I was sure you would come here.
Whoever thought I would see you in a place like this? It's been a long time, hasn't it? Yes! An angel always keeps an eye on you.
Miss Layla, I will never give up on participating in this Circus Festival.
Hmm It's such a different atmosphere from America or Japan.
It's calm, isn't it? Yes.
It looks like you've completely adjusted to Paris.
You think so? Yes.
Well To tell you the truth, I came to Paris because I wanted to ask you a favor.
A favor? What kind? You have Phoenix Tickets, don't you? Yes, I do.
Why? Using those tickets, I want you to participate in the Circus Festival with me.
That is a big favor.
Please, Yuri! You're the only hope left for me! Sora, I didn't happen to be there just by coincidence.
I went there looking for you after Layla asked me.
What? Miss Layla? And I've heard the gist of what happened at Kaleido Stage.
Then But I think this is too tough for you.
Why? Sora, you really don't know what kind of place this festival is.
This is the place that can make your dreams come true.
But at the same time, it's also a place where you destroy the dreams of others.
I already know that.
And I also know that victory means beating everybody else.
But, I have to win here.
Here, there's no such thing as fair play, friendship, or consideration.
If you let your guard down, someone will get the jump on you.
Do you know this is that kind of world? Yes, I do.
Then, for example, if a friend of yours, let's say Ken, suddenly collapsed just before you perform, and you received a call saying that he was in the hospital and wanting to see you What would you do? At that time It's possible that the call was a lie made up by another performer.
Yes, that's true Sorry.
I think that question was a little mean.
All right.
Yuri Let's participate in the festival together.
I will submit an entry application tomorrow.
Thank you! So this is where you live.
Wow Did you paint all these, Yuri? Yeah.
What with spending all my time commuting back and forth between here and school, maybe I started wanting some company.
I just casually picked up a brush, and then I was completely into it.
Everyone is smiling.
When I was at Kaleido Stage, I don't think I looked at the audience's faces much.
When I started painting, I realized how wonderful smiling faces were.
Is this the picture you're painting now? Yeah.
When I tried to capture the essence of the smile, it became an angel.
Angel It's May.
I'd like to start training soon, if that's all right.
All right.
So, this is it.
Leon Oswald, eh? In order to beat Leon and May's Demon Spiral, I suppose we need a maneuver on par with it? Shall we try an angel's maneuver? An angel's maneuver? That's right.
To counter their demon maneuver.
Yes.
Sora? We will help your practice.
Mute and Alice? It must be hard because you don't have too much time.
And we also can learn something if we get to watch the previous winner's practice.
What do you want to do, Sora? Since they offered us a hand, I think we should accept their offer.
That's what she says.
Thank you.
I'm glad.
Even among those people who enter the festival, there are nice people like Mute and Alice.
Good! Then, go higher like that! No! Not good at all.
Okay! Do it like you're flying upwards on your own power! Yes! I won't lose to May! I'll definitely win! In order to meet Miss Layla's expectations.
Demon Spiral! That speed is your limit? No! I can go faster! Then speed up to your limit! Yes! That's right.
Do it more slowly.
Like an angel's wings Yes! So, this is a winning candidate's maneuver I'm going to win no matter what! The one to win will be me! Sekasu you ni muragaru Hard luck Nagasarete Time is over Yokoku douri Take it easy Tsuredasu yo imasugu Hurry up (here we go) Gouin only (saisoku drive) Nichijo miorosu best view Sunset point (favorite) Harbor light (stormy night) Asuno tame ni escape Bakansu nashi demo oashisu wa get Keitai off tte ai o charge shite Yasashisa dake ja iyasenai itami mo aru kara We are alone.
Surechigau What's going on? Koukai no hate ni deau true heart Naite mo waratte mo I'll be with U Perhaps a match with you is my unavoidable destiny.
And so, it's showtime! What? Mr.
Yuri and Mr.
Leon know each other? Wait! What happened between them? How would I know something like that? What I saw during the battle was betrayal and despair.
Something I believed in is shattering! Shattering! Shattering! Next time, Kaleido Star, ''Cruel Amazing Festival'' Next time, Kaleido Star, ''Cruel Amazing Festival'' My wings are my dream and on towards the sky
