The Forest of Magi Oar
Thundercats - s01e11 the forest of Magi Oar Original air date November 11, 2011 Sword of Omens, give me Sight Beyond Sight.
[Sighs.]
Anything? Don't understand why the elephants sent us here.
The Book says the stone is in their village.
The Sword does, too.
Maybe you're not seeing the forest for the trees, Lion-O.
We might not be able to see why yet, but coming here might be the key to locating the stone there.
She's right.
You don't have to be a cleric to feel the forest's magic.
[Low rumbling.]
There's something else here, too-- a cheerless and gloomy presence.
It's like the forest is inhabited by - Ghosts? - [Meows.]
[Giggling.]
- [Both moaning.]
- Spirits.
- Oh! - Oh! Ghosts, spirits, souls-- I don't care what you call them.
They all give me the willies.
[Both moaning.]
[Whimpers.]
Meow! [Moaning continues.]
[Grunting.]
You two! - Huh? - Huh? Go get some firewood.
Why do we have to? 'Cause you're smaller than me, you're younger than me, and you're not good for much else.
Ugh.
Fine! Come on, Snarf maybe we'll see a ghost.
Ooh, ooh, ooh - [Meows.]
[Wood creaking and wind howling.]
[Grunting.]
[Kits giggling.]
[Meows.]
[Groans.]
[Twig snaps.]
[Gasps.]
[Twig snaps.]
[Grunts.]
[Panting.]
[Wheezing and gasping.]
[Exhales.]
Both: Boo! - [Screams.]
[Giggling.]
What a scary-Snarf! [Laughs.]
[Laughter continues.]
[Chuckles.]
[Wood creaking.]
[Meows.]
[All snoring.]
[Snoring.]
He sounds like the thundertank.
Hmm! Father used to snore like that, remember? How could I forget? It's the one thing you inherited from him.
You still don't think I should be King, do you? Does it matter what I think? The Sword picked you.
Maybe it chose wrong.
No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to master Sight Beyond Sight.
You just have to believe in yourself.
She seems to.
You know, we're going to have to settle this eventually.
May the best cat win.
[Explosion.]
[Snores and grunts.]
[Gasps.]
- Ghosts! - [Meows.]
And they're coming from the wood.
[Screeches.]
[Laser fires.]
[Screeches.]
[Screeching.]
I always say, the problem with ghosts is you can't punch 'em in the face.
Don't worry.
I've got something that never fails.
ThundercatsHo! Until now.
[Screeching.]
Be gone, evil spirits, or face the wrath of the wood forgers.
[Screeching.]
Snips, scatter these spirits to the winds.
Gami, fold them a nightmare so they can see what fear really is.
[Roars.]
[Screeches.]
[Roars.]
[All screech.]
And with a mere stroke of my brush, your frenzy is put to rest.
Did they just defeat them with paper? Nunchucks are a weapon.
Swords are a weapon.
Paper isn't any kind of weapon.
That was amazing! And just in time.
I'm Lion-O, lord of the Thundercats.
Welcome to the magi oar forest, Lion-O.
We are the wood forgers.
Quickly, now.
It's not safe here.
This is the school of paper arts, and I am its headmaster.
Tasked with training our students in the various disciplines of wood forging in order to carry out our mission to protect all in need.
Magi oar is an enchanted forest whose power we harness through paper in order to protect it.
Protect it from whom? Viragor, a monster known to swallow men whole and snatch children in the night.
[Whimpers.]
He doesn't look so tough.
I don't think he's been drawn to scale.
He seeks to drive us from the forest so he might use its power for his own evil intent.
Not long ago, it looked like he might do just that, until we built this paper mill.
[Gears clanking.]
[Buzzes.]
[Buzzes.]
Once it took an entire day for a wood forger to produce a single sheet by hand.
This mill can produce thousands in the same time.
Can the forest sustain such loss? The forest is big, and only through its lumber can we protect it from Viragor.
Come.
There is more to see.
[Buzzing.]
Tell me, Lion-O, what brings you so deep into these woods? I was sent here to learn toSee.
Then you should know seeing is about perspective.
What do you see? Doesn't look like anything.
Not from here.
Huh! It's me! While details are important, it is only when you step back that the entire picture comes into view.
No wonder you're the headmaster.
- [Screeching.]
- He's here.
- Who? - Viragor.
Get out of my forest! I will not let you terrorize us another day, beast! Wood forgers, attack! Nyah! [Screeches.]
You forget, I'll always be stronger than you, Zigg.
I don't need paper to harness this forest's magic.
[Both scream.]
[Grunts.]
[Screeching.]
They helped us.
Time to return the favor.
Ho! Come on! [Screeches.]
Sorry.
He's not on the menu.
[Screeches.]
Maybe the Sword's changed its mind about you.
[Screeches.]
[Creaks.]
Don't break on me now! Aah! I loved that staff! [Gasps.]
- Gotcha.
- Unh! [Screeches.]
If we lose the mill, we lose everything.
Don't worry.
He's about to be grounded.
Maybe this is a bad idea--aah! [Screeching.]
[Grunting.]
[Clicks and rattles.]
[Squawks.]
[Grunts.]
[Grunts.]
[Squawks.]
[Screeches.]
- [Gasps.]
[Grunts.]
Eye of Thundera, spirit of Jaga, Sword of Omens, do not fail me now.
Thunder Thunder Thunder Thundercats, ho! - [Screeches.]
- [Gasps.]
[Grunting.]
[Squawks.]
[Groans.]
Why aren't you working? What am I not seeing? The big picture That's what.
[Screeching.]
[Screeching.]
Probably another bad idea.
[Grunts.]
[Screeches.]
You're going to eat me, aren't you? Thinking about it.
Only through Lion-O's sacrifice was the school saved.
I'm afraid there's no way he could survive his encounter with Viragor.
Don't you worry about Lion-O.
He'll be fine.
Kid can take care of himself.
You're getting heavy, bug.
Mind if I drop you off here? You won't, because you're not evil, Viragor, are you? Have you not been paying attention? The Sword of Omens wouldn't work against you or the spirits.
I thought it was me, but it's because the Sword can't be used against a force of good.
Interesting theory.
Willing to risk your life for it? I am.
Let me show you something.
The magi oar is an ancient forest, one I've cared for for centuries.
I thought that was the wood forger's job.
They sure give that impression, don't they? No.
They're merely guests, and they've outworn their welcome.
I allowed them into the forest because I believe in their mission.
But Zigg wanted more power.
That meant more paper.
So he built the mill.
Once, they were content with fallen timber.
Now, they strip my forest.
Don't they understand? These trees are alive.
That mill must be destroyed.
I'll help you.
[Screeches.]
The beast returns.
Wood forgers, ready yourselves.
Wait! Lion-O is with him.
You Haven't been telling us the whole story, have you, Zigg? What is the meaning of this, Lion-O? Viragor's no monster.
He did break my staff.
Sorry about that.
He is the true protector of this forest.
Is your vision so misguided, you've taken up his cause? You're one to talk about misguided vision.
It doesn't have to be this way, Zigg.
Your school can exist in harmony with the forest.
Some must suffer for the greater good, Lion-O.
And who decides what the greater good is? You still can't see the big picture, can you? I think I'm finally starting to.
You have failed to learn your lesson, so I must try a stricter approach.
Wood forgers, attack! [Choral music playing.]
[Screeches.]
[Grunts.]
[Grunting.]
[Growls.]
[Grunting.]
[Grunting.]
[Grunts.]
[Grunting.]
Huh? I really miss my staff.
Good thing I still have my fling.
[Gasps.]
[Grunts.]
[Both giggle.]
[Roars.]
[Panting and grunting.]
Not so tough without your notebooks, are you? [Grunts.]
- Yeah! - Ha-ha! [Roars.]
[Screeches.]
[Whistling.]
[Grunting.]
The mighty Viragor, broken and defenseless.
Not completely defenseless.
You see, my Sword seems to be working again.
It's time for you to start seeing things in a new light, Zigg.
Thunder ThunderThunder ThundercatsHo! [Screaming.]
[Grunts.]
You are no longer headmaster of this school.
I am.
I owe you my thanks, Thundercats.
A gift From the oldest tree in this forest.
It's alive with great magic.
I accept it with great humility.
Now, Lion-O, want to try putting what you learned to use? Sword of Omens, give me Sight Beyond Sight.
[Choral music playing.]
Let's go get that stone.
[Sighs.]
