Ep. 10: Nova and Regalia, Rune-God of the Devil
Aired on June 26, 1995
Nova meets Hikaru after receiving permission from Debonair, attacking her while claiming they are alike. Hikaru summons Rayearth to fight back, but Nova’s Rune-God Regalia appears. Umi and Fuu intervene, prompting Nova to transport them to her alternate dimension to kill them. There, Nova reveals Debonair’s plans for Cephiro. Debonair arrives, recognizing her from Hikaru’s dreams, and orders Nova to destroy the Magic Knights, equipping Regalia with a new weapon before leaving. The trio attacks, but their efforts fail against Regalia, who overpowers them. Rayearth ejects Hikaru, who is subsequently defeated. Nova departs, leaving Umi and Fuu to return the shocked Hikaru to the palace, where she collapses upon realizing her sword was broken.
