Would They Have Done It? Options

[Shiidou Hikaru]

The first time I watched MKR, I didn't really get a good grasp of what they were talking about concerning the Legend of the Magic Knights. It wasn't clear until the end of the first season what the tragedy of that legend really was. When I watched the series the second time, everything became crystal clear. Clef never told them the true nature of what their mission was. The villagers feared and ran away from them. Others, like Ascot, Caldina, and Lafarga, made peace with them, but left them behind and didn't look back. Only Ferio became friends with them and helped out with their mission. And there's much more too, but the end result is that no one, not even Ferio, ever told Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu, exactly what was going on until it was already too late. If they had known beforehand what the mission of the Magic Knights was, would the three of them have followed through with it?

Yes, that's the way Clef had presented it to them, that they could never go home to Tokyo if they didn't complete their mission. However, the true nature of their mission wasn't revealed to them. Umi even suspected Clef of deception right away in the first episode. So their decision was based on incomplete information. If Clef had told them the truth at the beginning, that they would have to kill someone to complete their mission, they might have refused because I believe that their ethical integrity would've gotten in the way, even if it meant that they could never go home.



BTW, welcome to the MKR board Darkleaf Master.^^
