Ep 12. Skater Love
Magical DoReMi season 2 episode 12, titled "Skater Love," follows the magical girls as they learn more about love. It starts with DoReMi and her friends seeing a guy named Kinji skating beautifully in the park. DoReMi is immediately smitten with him, but they do not know how to approach him. Suddenly, an ice-skating fairy named Celine appears. She tells the girls that they need to learn about love, and she gives them magic rings that will help them feel and understand it better.
With their new rings, the girls start experiencing all kinds of emotions. DoReMi is still dreaming of Kinji, and Hazuki falls for a classmate named Isao. Aiko, on the other hand, is trying to hide her crush on someone, while Onpu thinks she is in love with a celebrity. They do not know what to do with their feelings, so they seek advice from their magical mentor, Majorika.
Majorika tells the girls that love is a complicated feeling, and they need to listen to their hearts to figure it out. She also warns them not to use their magic rings to control anyone's feelings. The girls take her advice and start communicating with the people they like. DoReMi learns that Kinji is a shy person, and she needs to give him some time to open up to her. Hazuki realizes that she and Isao have more in common than she thought, while Aiko confesses to her crush and gets rejected.
As the episode progresses, the girls learn more about the ups and downs of love. They also witness how it can affect those around them. For example, when they inadvertently use their magic to make a couple fall in love, they realize that they are interfering with people's free will. They eventually fix the situation, but they also learn a valuable lesson about the power of love.
Towards the end of the episode, the girls come together to watch Kinji perform his skating routine. They also help him by magically creating an ice rink for him to practice on. During this time, DoReMi and Kinji finally start talking, and she realizes that he is just as interested in her as she is in him. They exchange phone numbers and make plans to hang out soon.
The episode ends on a positive note, with the girls feeling more enlightened about love and their own emotions. They also learn that magic can only do so much, and that true love comes from the heart.
