Episode 26 - Magical Victory
  yattane, taishô! koi mo mahô mo SAMÎ ni omakase
  yattane, taishô! koi mo mahô mo SAMÎ ni omakase
  [At Last, the Grand Victory! Leave the Love and Magic to Sammy]
First aired - 28th March 1997

Enter the fighters for justice!Romio has taken flight in her magical battleship, and Sammy, Misa, Ryo-ohki and Rumiya have given chase. As the magical crew finally confront the wicked Romio, she tells Sasami that she is really her sister. For a moment Sammy believes her, but Misa brings her around with a stout kick to the head. Romio goes on to explain why she is hell-bent on destroying the Earth. She reveals that long ago, when Earth and Juraihelm first went their separate ways, she was an ordinary human selected to be a magical girl. Despite her efforts, the planets' cultures drifted apart and, she believes, the evil part of their civilisation went to the Earth. Only by destroying it can she eliminate the influence of Earth's materialistic culture and lay her past demons to rest. Sammy protests, insisting that by bringing Earth and Juraihelm back together both planets can benefit, but Romio is not interested in a compromise. Both Misa and Sammy try to attack Romio, but she has protected herself with a powerful magical field. They quickly realise that the only way to beat her is to find and destroy her NT system. Misa tells Sammy to go and find the NT system, and she and Rumiya attack Romio to keep her from stopping them.

As Sammy and Ryo-ohki head deep into the bowels of Romio's battleship, they come across Ramia lying in a corridor. She is still weak from having all her magic sucked out by Romio's NT system, but she directs the pair to the control room. She swears revenge on Romio for everything she has done.

Meanwhile, Misa and Rumiya are knocked for six when Romio returns a magical attack. Romio boasts that she still has a little surprise in store for Sammy...

Now that's torn it!Sammy and Ryo-ohki reach the core of the NT system to discover that it is protected by a powerful magical barrier. Sammy summons up all her magical energy to pierce the shield, and successfully dispels it. However, the effort of doing so has used up all her magical energy, and her baton goes dead! Not to be beaten, she batters the NT system core with her wand, but it doesn't make a scratch. She is about to give up when Ryo-ohki offers some encouragement. They grab the baton together and pound on the core. Sammy's baton cracks under the punishment, but they managed to shatter the core. The stored-up magical energy bursts free and spreads across the surface of Juraihelm, restoring the planet's inhabitants to their former selves.

Sammy and Ryo-ohki return to the ship's bridge to find Romio waiting for them. She tells them that although they have destroyed her NT system, there is still enough charge left in her magical cannons to wipe out the Earth. As Romio prepares the cannon to deal a finishing blast to the Earth, Sammy and Misa teleport themselves in front of the cannon's muzzle. Fighting side by sideMagical wands held aloft, they brace themselves for the blast. The cannon fires, but Sammy and Misa's magical shield disperses the shot. Romio is speechless. Sammy realises that all the inhabitants of Earth and Juraihelm were praying for them both, and the power of their wishes helped them succeed. Sammy and Misa raise the magical baton and chant their final spell, the Pretty Sexy Final Coquettish Bomber. Before the spell hits, the furious Ramia charges onto the bridge and grabs Romio in a headlock, carrying her off into the distance. The wave of magic from the Final Coquettish Bomber spell strikes Romio's battleship, wiping it out completely, before hitting Juraihelm itself. Sammy's baton, damaged in the attack on the NT system core, begins to break apart under the force of the magic flowing through it. Just as it gives way completely, the wave of magical energy floods out across the solar system, restoring Juraihelm to its former glory and Earth to its correct orbit. Both planets are saved, but there is no sign of Sammy or Misa.

Far from Earth, Sasami and Misao drift in a magical field. The recoil from their final spell sent them hurtling into deep space, and with the power from the shattered remains of Sammy's baton dwindling, it is only a matter of time before their magical field gives out. Sasami apologises to Misao for getting her involved, but Misao tells her she is glad she could help everyone. Sasami realises that her best friend's dream of becoming a concert pianist will never come true now, but Misao decides to give Sasami her last performance. She sings a sweet ballad to their friendship as they drift through space together.

A tearful farewellAs Misao's song ends, Sasami spots a bright light approaching. Tsunami, Ramia, Ryo-ohki and Rumiya have found them, and have led Washu and Ginji, aboard their hastily-repaired rocket, to them. Sasami invites Ryo-ohki back home for a celebratory dinner, but he has some bad news - he cannot go back to Earth with her. It has been decided that Juraihelm will remain in a separate dimension until the two societies are more capable of understanding each other, but he promises to come and visit her when that day comes. Even Rumiya finally tries to confess his feelings for Misao, though it still takes a shove from his sister to get him to plant a kiss on her cheek! Finally, they part company, and Sammy watches her dear friends leave as she and Misao head back to Earth.

Tsunami returns!Several months later, Sasami's life is returning to normal. In the intervening weeks, Tsunami finally had her coronation, and negotiations between Earth and Juraihelm's governments started. The people of Earth have begun to learn to use magic powers, and the day that Juraihelm can re-enter normal space is fast approaching. On the last day of school, Sasami is surprised when Ryo-ohki suddenly appears. However, this is not his promised visit - the services of Pretty Sammy are needed once more, this time to bring peace to Mars! Tsunami appears and presents her with a brand new magical baton. At long last the entire class realise that Sasami and Pretty Sammy are one and the same. Once again, Sasami raises her baton and transforms into Pretty Sammy.

On Mars, the Martians are planning an invasion, their armies led by none other than Romio, alive and well and still bent on destroying Earth! Luckily, Pretty Sammy and Pixy Misa are on the case...
