Slayers is an enormously successful
anime and 111a11ga franchise in Japan that
has gained wide popularity in the United
States and Canada. It began in 1990 as a
series of short stories written by Hajin1e
Kanzaka and illustrated by Rui Araizumi,
which were followed by novels. The success
of the mauga lead to the first television
series, The Slayers in 1995. Videotape and
DVD versions were released in the United
States by Software Sculptors and Enoki
Films. This book coves the third series. The
first series, The Slayers and the second series
The Slayers: Next are the subjects of previous
Fan Guides from Guardians ofOrder.

The final season ofTilt Slayers series, Slayers Try. reunites the friends in a
port city where an assembly of Kings plans to send a Oeet to explore the Outer
World. The barrier created by the Mazoku that has separated their lands
from the rest of the world has fallen after 1000 years. Lina and her friends are
recruited by Filia, a priestess of the Fire Dragon King. to come to the Outer
World to prevent a prophecy of great evil from coming to pass. The Slayers
join the fleet, but it is destroyed in a tidal wave and they are the only ones to
reach port in the Outer World.
Lina, Gourry, Amelia, Zelgadis, and Filia are joined in the new land by
XeUos, who has his own mysterious reasons for being there. On the journey
to the Temple of the Fire Dragon King, they learn two valuable things: a
tormented Mazoku named Valgaav wants to kill Lina in revenge for the death
of Lord Gaav, and he is allied with Almayce, a being of immense power from
the Overworld who wants to take Gourry's Sword of Light.

propose marriage, but he just wants
to know what the "outer world~ is.
Exasperated, Lina tells him again about
the Mazoku Barrier and how the death
of Hellmaster Phibrizzo caused its fall.
Zelgadis joins them. With the fall of the
barrier, he hopes he can find a magic
item in the outer world to make himself
human again.
The priestess Filia joins them
on the tower roof. She tells them she
has come to confirm for herself the
strength of their powers. Confused but
tempted by the large sum Filia offered
in her letter, Lina wants to know what
the job is. Before Filia can explain,
however, Gourry sees a tail sticking
out from under her dress. Curious, he
lifts Filia's skirt to see. Outraged and
embarrassed, she pulls a concealed mace
from under her skirt, knocks Gourry
into the sea, and then runs away crying
in humiliation.
Fireworks celebrate the fleet's
impending departure, while Prince Phil
makes a stirring speech to the crowd.
Filia approaches Zclgadis, Lina, and
Gourry to apologise for hitting Gourry
£ P I SOt>E: 53
and to ask for her mace back. They then
discuss her offer. Filia makes a cryptic
comment about testing their powers,
then vanishes. The ships set sail, and
Lina greets Phil and Amelia, who is less
than happy to see her.
On the tower roof, Filia transforms
into a golden dragon. Taking to the
air, she attacks the port! Realising they
are the targets and worried about the
innocent civilians around them, Lina,
Gourry, Zelgadis, and Amelia board one
of the ships to lure the dragon out to sea.
Amelia takes command of the fleet and
orders it to prepare for battle. Massive
fireballs from the fleet sorcerers fail to
hurt Filia. She fires her laser breath at
the ship, damaging it and leaving only
the four friends aboard it. Lina loses her
temper and fires a Dragon Slave at the
beast, which teleports away at the last
second. The blast creates a tsunami that
destroys the fleet and wrecks the port.
When they recover and see the
damage to the port, Lina decides the
time is right to head for the outer world.
Selling course in their damaged ship, the
four sail off to the unknown.

shocked to see Gourry use the Sword of
Light. He orders Jillas to throw bombs
at the heroes, but the Slayers are not
impressed. Lina decides to show them a
real explosion and scatters them with a
Mega-Brand spell.
Lina, Gourry, and Amelia are
fighting over their reward meal while
Zelgadis checks their position against
the sun. Leaning back to laugh at the
memory of the beastmen fleeing from
the battle, Lina sees the golden dragon
that attacked their fleet flying high
above. The friends pursue it outside of
the city, where they are shocked to see
it transform into Filia. Over tea, Lina
demands to know who Filia really is.
Filia explains that she is a
priestess of the Fire Dragon King and
also that they must follow a prophecy
that warns of destruction. She explains
that the first part means the world is in
great danger, while the "power between
light and darkness" refers to humans.
While the rest is unclear, her ciders sent
her to find a human with the power to
prevent catastrophe.
£PISOt>E : $4
Lina laughs to think she is the
representative of the human race, but
Filia tells her that she is only the second
choice; the first was too busy. Lina and
her friends together should be enough,
however. Angry at being a stand-in, Lina
refuses. Filia then gives her a letter from
the first choice that fills Lina with fright.
It is from her big sister, Luna, telling her
to shut up and accept the job.
Valgaav is intrigued to hear of the
appearanc<? of the Sword of Light, which
he calls "Gorun Nova.'' He orders Gravos
lo find another weapon equal to it. A
giant figure appears behind him to urge
him to seize the sword. Valgaav says he
will, and he will kill Lina, too.
On a cliff overlooking the sea, Lina
sits crying in fear of her sister. Filia asks
if this means she will accept the job, and
Lina answers that she has no choice. Filia
tells her that their first stop is the temple
of the Fire Dragon King. and Lina invites
her to join the group.

suicide. Xellos puts a frog down an old
woman's blouse, who shrieks and falls.
Amelia jumps to her rescue, and the
people hide their eyes, thinking she is
doomed. Instead, her display of magic
convinces them she is an angel.
Zelgadis has come to a shuttered
temple. Alocal magician tells him it has
been sealed for centuries and cannot be
entered. Zelgadis uses powerful magic
to blast open the gates, terrifying the
magician. Finding nothing, Zelgadis has
the magician lead him to other sealed
temples, which he blasts open one by
one. Leaving the last temple, he finds
himselfsurrounded by the town militia.
Amelia is lecturing an audience of
dockworkers about justice when a man
interrupts her to shout that a demon
is attacking the town. She immediately
volunteers to battle it. Lina and Gourry
are returning when they hear that
an angel is about to fight a demon.
They come to a square just as Amelia
realises that Zelgadis is the "demon"
and he sheepishly apologises for getting
carried away. Filia stalks up to Zelgadis
and bashes him with her mace. Jn the
£J>JS O DE : 55
background, Xellos is beside himself
with laughter.
Later, Filia explains that the people's
odd reactions to their magic is due to the
weakness of sorcery in the outer world;
the lands behind the Mazoku Barrier
are much more advanced in the magical
arts. Tired of sticking out because of his
appearance, Zelgadis agrees it is time
for them to head for the Fire Dragon
King's temple. On the way out of town,
Filia senses the presence of a Mazoku.
Lina then thinks she sees Xellos, but he
vanishes before she can catch up to him.
At his base, Valgaav talks to his
employer, Almayce, who orders him
to seize Gorun Nova. Valgaav readily
agrees and looks forward to killing Lina.
In the desert, Una tells the others that
she is sure she saw Xellos, which means
the Mazoku are involved. Filia becomes
furious and shouts for the Mazoku
to show itself, when a blast from the
heavens strikes the ground.
Out of the smoke and dust strides
Valgaav. He has come to avenge Lord
Gaav's death and attacks.
PAGE 9

The quake grows worse as Gravos
almost pulls the Sand People's sword
free of an altar stone. Xellos takes
advantage of Valgaav's distraction to
attack again, and the two disappear. Lina
is embarrassed to find herself holding
Zelgadis for support as the shaking
stops. Xellos reappears, and Lina tells
him she knows he was using her to draw
Valgaav into the open. Xellos says that
Valgaav has grown considerably in power
recently, leading them to suspect he has
powerful backers.
At the shrine of the holy sword of
the Sand People, Valgaav tells Gravos to
pull the sword on his signal, knowing that
the quaking will draw Lina and Xellos.
He then borrows Almayce's weapon,
Ragud Mezegis, intending to kill Lina and
Xellos. Almayce warns him not to let its
blade cross with Gorun Nova's.
Filia is outraged by the presence of
Xellos, an ancient enemy of the Dragon
race. Xellos explains what he knows
of Valgaav's plans: to kill Lina, steal
the Sword of Light. and find another
weapon as powerful. He tells them of
the holy sword of the Sand People, and
Lina hurries off to get the treasure for
£PISOD£ : ;6
herself, leaving a frightened Filia alone
with Xellos.
Valgaav orders Gravos to pull the
sword from the stone. He does so, and a
great earthquake begins. The beast held
back by the sword, a sand worm, is free.
It ploughs through the sand to where
Lina and the others are and attacks them.
At the same time, Valgaav reappears and
attacks Lina. Gourry intervenes and
squares off with Valgaav.
The monster has Zelgadis and
Amelia surrounded, when Gravos tells
them the holy sword is the key to sealing
it away. Zelgadis improvises a cannon
to hurl Amelia to the shrine. The plan
works and Amelia replaces the sword,
turning the monster to stone.
Gourry attacks Valgaav, and the
dash of the two blades creates a magical
vortex of tremendous power. Almayce
teleports in to separate the weapons.
Xellos is gripped with fear at the sight
of Almayce. Almayce orders Valgaav to
retreat, while Lina and Zelgadis's magical
attacks have no effect on Almayce.
Valgaav leaves, his last words a promise
to kill Lina.

statue. Thoughts of Xellos lead her to
accidentally reveal her true nature,
and a mob of townsfolk surround her,
demanding to know if she is a dragon
priestess. When she admits it, they
accuse her ofcoming to destroy the town,
for dragons are forbidden here. The wind
whips the cover off the statue, and Filia
sees that it commemorates the defeat of
an evil dragon that had destroyed the
town long ago.
At first Filia is ready to fight, but,
chastened by Xellos's earlier jibes, she
tries to reason with the mob. Gravos and
Jillas arrive, and Gravos brags that he was
the one who told the townsfolk she is a
dragon priestess. They plan to take her
hostage to get the Sword of Light. Filia
flees, but Gravos sends his lizardmen
chasing after her.
Filia is forced into a jail cell.
Depressed, she kneels and wonders why
all these bad things are happening to her.
Jillas enters to bring her some food. He
sympathises with her because "her gang"
picks on her and gives her a hug, which
sends her into a panic. Gravos then
enters to take her to trial.
£PI S OD £: $1
Filia is in chains before the court
and the entire town. The judge declares
they will use an ancient method to
determine if she is a dragon: tickling.
Leaping from his bench, he tickles her
with a feather, hoping to force her to
transform. When she sneezes, the judge
takes that as proof of her dragonhood.
As the judge is about to condemn
her, Lina blasts through the wall of the
arena. The restaurant owner is in the
audience and accuses Lina of being a
thief, which starts an argument between
her and Filia. Gravos and jillas convince
the townsfolk that Lina and the others
are servants of the dragon. Angry
townsmen surround them, and Xellos
decides to intervene.
Materialising next to Filia, he
repeatedly teases her until she loses her
temper and transforms into a dragon.
Enraged. she screams for Xellos to face
her and repeatedly uses her laser breath.
Jn the process, she saves Lina and the
others and manages to destroy the town.
Afterwards, Xellos admits he knew
the town had outlawed dragons, but
thought it would be amusing to go there.
Infuriated again, Filia transforms and
chases him into the sky.
P AGE 13

but she forbids him to explore them.
When Gourry and Lina's stew arrives,
Filia seizes it and eats it all, herself. She
then collapses to the floor, fast asleep.
Zelgadis sneaks off to the ruins, followed
by Lina, Amelia, and Gourry, who is
carrying the unconscious Filia. They
enter, trailed by Gravos's gang.
Zelgadis shows Lina doors covered
in draconic writing. Xellos appears, but
he can only read a bit ofit, so Lina decides
to wake up Filia. When Filia revives, her
bracelet and the script on the doors glow
bright. The doors open, and the structure
shakes and rises from the ground. The
ancient walls are really tracks - the
temple is a dragon-sized railroad train,
which is leaving the station.
The train careens through the
desert, and Filia is in a panic; many
towns lie in the their path. Before they
can escape, Gravos and his gang block
their path. Lina and Amelia hurl fireballs
at them, which fizzle; the temple is
absorbing their magic to fuel the train.
The Slayers run to the control
room. where Filia learns the train will
crash into the temple. Then she shrieks
with horror when she sees they are
headed straight for a town. The train
£PISODE : 5S
smashes through the town walls without
slowing, leaving ruins in its wake.
Gravos and Jillas return, and
Zelgadis engages Gravos in a duel. Jillas
throws a bomb, which Amelia kicks
to Gravos. He and Jillas are thrown to
the rear of the train, where the bomb
explodes. The temple is ahead, and Filia
says the only way to stop the train is to
destroy the power source. They search
fruitlessly until Lina realises it must be
part of the statue of Ceiphied. Gourry
smashes it. She is right, but the exposed
device is too high to reach.
Gravos and Jillas attack again,
hurling a flurry of bombs. Lina tosses
Gourry a metal bar and hides between
his legs; she taunts Jillas until he loses
his temper and throws another bomb.
Gourry hits it like a baseball into the
device, destroying it. The train keeps
moving, however, its momentum
carrying it toward the temple.
Lina orders Filia to transform. She
rides the dragon into the sky and blasts
the runaway temple with a Dragon Slave.
It survives the blast, however, crashing
into the temple. Filia faints and they fall
from the sky.
PAGE 15

Gorun Nova is still in Gourry's hands
and the location of the fifth is unknown;
the search must take precedence. Valgaav
reluctantly agrees.
Filia summons the four to a
meeting with the Supreme Elder.
Thinking they will at last learn what
they are to do to avert the prophesied
destruction, the friends instead are put to
work repairing the temple. The Supreme
Elder ignores Lina's whining and forces
her to take responsibility, but Gourry
actually enjoys the physical activity.
Lina's anger gets the better of her and she
falls furiously to work.
The Elders question Filia inside a
vast cathedral chamber dominated by
a statue of Cciphied. Are these arc the
people spoken of in the prophecy? Filia
is not quite sure. She dismays the elders
when she tells them Luna, a Knight
of Ceiphied, refused their request,
recommending instead Lina and her
friends. Pressed on the subject by the
Supreme Elder, Filia gathers her courage
and says she believes they are, and that
the four possess some quality that lets
them succeed where mere skill alone
will not suffice. Moreover, Luna told
tPIS ODE: 59
her the powers she controls as a Knight
of Ceiphied would not help. They need
the powers of one who stands between
light and darkness, which Luna thinks
means Lina.
With the young golden dragons as
her enthusiastic helpers, Lina sets about
rebuilding the temple as fast as possible.
Her enthusiasm is greater than her
artistic talent, however. The completed
section is a garish monstrosity. The
Supreme Elder nevertheless is impressed
with their spirit and summons them to
the cathedral chamber.
He tells them they have passed the
test. Zelgadis demands to know whythey
do not just use the power of their god to
solve the problem themselves, and the
Supreme Elder replies that they cannot.
The Mazoku were weakened by the
deaths of Gaav and Phibrizzo and they
would take any chance to weaken the
power of the Gods. Directly intervening
to prevent the danger would give them
this chance.
As Lina debates accepting the task,
Almayce appears in the cathedral in a
sudden burst of purple light.

to give the Sword of Light to Almayce,
if he will agree to summon Darkstar
on another world. Filia and Amelia are
outraged; Almayce accepts the offer.
Gourry and Lina refuse to hand the
weapon over, and the Supreme Elder uses
Holy Magic to paralyse them all. He says
it is the only way to protect the world. He
walks to where the Sword of Light lays.
ready to give it to Almayce.
Valgaav recaUs his first meeting
with Gaav. Then his name was "Val." As
Val lays dying, Gaav offers him survival
in return for service. Val agrees, and Gaav
kills him. Val is reborn as a Mazoku, and
Gaav gives him his own name, "Valgaav."
High above Ceiphied's temple. Valgaav
remembers his loyalty to Gaav and dives
to the attack.
Before the Supreme Elder can hand
Gorun Nova to Almayce, Valgaav crashes
through the temple roof. He accuses
Almayce of betraying him and decides
to slay them all. Filia breaks the spell
on Lina and the others, and Lina throws
Gorun Nova back to Gourry. The friends
then flee the temple. Almayce pursues
them, offering to make the same deal if
they will give him the sword.
£ P ISOD E: 60
Lina refuses and says she will not
sell-out others even to save her own
world. Filia agrees and joins her, defying
the Supreme Elder. XeUos appears and
puts Filia on the spot by supporting her.
Almayce attacks, and the Supreme Elder
orders his people to stand aside in fear
of Xellos's power. XeUos attacks Valgaav,
while Lina and the others face Almayce.
They quickly learn their magic cannot
affect him.
Lina wounds Almayce with the
Ragna Blade, while Valgaav surprises
Xellos and the others by partially
transforming into an Ancient Dragon.
Valgaav flies down and seizes Ragud
Mezegis from Almayce. He accuses the
Supreme Elder of lying about why the
golden dragons murdered his people,
and moves to attack.
Valgaav cannot control the power
surging within him, however, and
falls to the ground in pain. He flees
before Xellos can kill him. Almayce
has vanished, too. As the sun sets, the
Slayers agree to fight Almayce and
Valgaav, and Filia joins them to learn the
truth behind Valgaav's accusations.

white. The colours signify each country's
philosophy: Baritone aims for practical
results, while Alto dedicates itself to high
ideals. In Alto, Lina diverts a cannonball
coming their way, inadvertently sending
it into the royal palace. Soldiers arrest
her, Filia, and Gourry. Bells sound the
all-clear as the attack ends and the three
are tossed into jail.
The King demands to know
why the three have come to Alto. Lina
fumbles for words, when Gourry blurts
out that they are there for the magic
vessels. The King has heard enough and
leaves them in jail to rot.
In his lair, Valgaav struggles in
agony to control his form. He knocks
Ragud Mezegis aside in his thrashings,
and Gravos picks it up. Gravos promises
never to abandon him. He remembers
when he laid wounded on a battlefield;
Valgaav came to him and offered him the
chance for revenge in return for service.
Xellos, Amelia, and Zelgadis
are enjoying a feast with the Queen of
Baritone. She has a request to make of
them: she wants them to steal Alto's white
magic vessel. Amelia is outraged and tells
the Queen she is wrong. Her young son,
Marco, applauds their bravery.
EPISODE : 61
Lina and Filia are arguing in their
ceU when Sera, the young princess of
Alto, interrupts them to ask a favour.
Meanwhile, Xellos, Amelia, and Zelgadis
turn down the Queen's request. As they
leave, Marco pursues them lo ask a
favour of his own. Both children want
each group to steal Lhe vessels of their
own country, hoping their disappearance
will end the war. The children are in love,
but the war keeps them apart.
Sera sets the prisoners free, and
they sneak through the palace past
traps and puzzles to where Alto's vessel
rests. Filia directs them in removing the
last set of traps. In Baritone, Zelgadis
picks the lock on the arrnoire holding
Baritone's vessel.
In both kingdoms, searchlights
pierce the night and sirens wail - the
thefts have been discovered. From each
direction, Marco and Sera lead the
heroes toward a deserted island as the
rulers mobilise their troops. The children
celebrate their success, but then they see
the fleets of both nations surrounding
the island. Then Gravos arrives with
his lizardmen: he has come to take the
vessels and the Sword of Light.
PAGE 21

Xellos stands in wonder as he tells
the others that the vessels are artefacts
from the War of the Gods and Monsters,
when Ceiphied fought Shabranigdo.
Bringing them together allows the fusion
of Holy and Black Magic, something
that horrifies Filia and excites Lina. The
fusion then creates a power capable of
defeating Overworlder weapons.
Gravos returns, his weapon
recharged. He uses it to fracture the
island into large pieces, trapping
the children on one and the Slayers
on another. He sends Jillas and the
lizardmen to get the vessels from Sera
and Marco. Amelia, Zelgadis, and Filia
chase after them, while Lina and Gourry
fight Gravos.
Amelia, Filia, and Zelgadis find the
children unharmed on another fragment
of the island. Sera again proclaims their
true love, but Marco has had enough and
he tells her to shut up. He blames Sera for
all the trouble, leaving her in tears.
Zelgadis shouts a warning as jillas
fires his pistol, barely missing them. The
lizardmen all have muskets pointed at
the heroes, too. Amelia tries to launch a
fireball, but is felled by a single shot. As
Zelgadis marches out to face them, Jillas
£ PIS 0t> E: 62
orders his troops to open fire. Ahail of
bullets strike Zelgadis, but nothing hurts
him. He attacks the lizardmen hand·to-
hand and steals two pistols from them.
He then kills most of them in a masterful
demonstration of gun play.
Jillas retaliates by throwing bombs
at Zelgadis. Using the blasts and smoke
flares for cover, he runs past the chimera
toward the children, but cannot fight
past Filia and Amelia. Then the Alto and
Baritone fleets join in, their cannon fire
scattering the lizardmen.
Gravos has lost control of Ragud
Mezegis. A magical vortex forms that
wrecks the fleets and threatens to destroy
the islands. Xellos suggests using the
vessels again, and Zelgadis and Amelia
bring the vessels together as Lina prepares
a Dragon Slave. The power of the magical
fusion drains Ragud Mezegis again, and
Lina blasts Gravos into orbit with the
spell. The power of the vessels also cause a
long hidden bridge to rise from the water,
connecting Alto and Baritone.
Standing on the bridge, Lina
discovers the vessels were broken and
they have lost Ragud Mezegis. Floating in
the water, however, Jillas swears revenge
as he raises the weapon from the water.
P AGE 23

Lina and Zelgadis accept their
pairing calmly, but Amelia is upset that
Gourry is not paired with Lina. Both
Xellos and Filia adamantly refuse to be
paired with each other; Xellos disappears
in a huff. Amelia, meanwhile, has become
jealous of Lina's pairing with Zelgadis,
though she does not understand her
feelings. Gourry is simply confused.
Climbing the path to the temple
arm in arm, the remaining couples
reach the temple, which rests on a slab
of rock that balances precariously at
the peak of Mount Coronay. They enter
the temple, Jillas sending them deep
inside along a dark tunnel. Lurking
behind, he activates a secret door that
separates Gourry from the group. While
he wanders lost in the tunnel, the others
fall to bickering as Lina blames Amelia
for losing him. Filia bas remained
behind, building dolls from rocks and
pouting in self-pity.
Jn the god's shrine, Lina begins to
suspect a trick when there is no sign of
the magic power they seek. Cackling with
glee,Jillas reveals himselfas his Lizard men
thugs surround Gourry in a dark tunnel.
They attack and Gourry loses his sword
£J'JSOD£: 63
when dozens offake swords are dumped
on him. Lina takes a step toward Jillas,
and a floor tile explodes. Jillas has mined
the floor - there is no telling which tiles
are safe. With Lina, Amelia, and Zelgadis
trapped, Jillas prepares to blow them up.
The three leap to a tile near Jillas
that turns out to be safe, but they are
still out of reach of him. Meanwhile,
the lizardmen have found Gorun Nova.
Gourry chases them through the tunnel
as the balancing stone rocks wildly. He
recovers it, but Lina and the others are
making no progress across the mined
floor. As Jillas is about to shoot them,
Gourry returns with the sword and
walks blithely across the floor. He sets
off a series of explosions that unbalances
the rock and sends it hurtling down the
mountain slope into the shrine where
Filia waits.
Pulling themselves out of the
rubble, the group realises that Gourry
has lost the sword again. Jillas comes to
in another part of the rubble and sees
Gorun Nova lying next to him. Filled
with joy at this chance, he gleefully runs
off with it, with Lina and the others in
hot pursuit.

enraged, firing wildly with her laser
breath. When Lina calms her down, the
discover that Jillas has escaped again. He
is headed for Valgaav's lair.
In the labyrinth, while Gourry
and Lina fall into shock over losing
Gorun Nova to Jillas, Zelgadis finds the
secret door the Foxman fled through.
Lina and Gourry quickly recover and
they resume the chase. Valgaav's lair
looms in the distance.
Far underneath Valgaav's base, the
friends wander through a weird tunnel
system, illuminated by the glow from a
pillar of light. Xellos rejoins them and
suggests they hurry. Elsewhere, Valgaav
writhes in agony as he struggles to
control his form. He is obsessed with
having revenge, not just on Lina and
Xellos, but on the entire universe.
Jillas rushes through the tunnel
system, hurrying to bring the sword to
Valgaav. He thinks back to when he was a
pup and armoured humans attacked his
village. They massacred his people and
burned the village, leaving him wounded
and with a ruined eye. Valgaav came to
him and saved him, making him the
same offer he made Gravos. Jillas swears
to repay him for this.
£P I SOt>E : 64
Lina and the others split into three
groups to follow three paths, hoping to
find Jillas: Xellos and Filia, Zelgadis and
Amelia, and Lina and Gourry. Jillas,
meanwhile, is completely lost. As he
runs along a tunnel, Amelia and Zelgadis
burst through a wall and surprise him.
Capturing him, they recover the sword.
Gourry and Lina have come to the
main chamber of the base, a weird place
ofstrange symbols and giant clockworks.
Within, they find Almayce recovering
from his wounds in a healing chamber.
Alrnayce awakens and sees that someone
has stolen Gorun Nova. He warns them
it must not fall into Valgaav's hands, for
he plans to summon Darkstar. When
Lina retorts that this was exactly what
Almayce planned to do, the Ovenvorlder
shocks them by revealing his ultimate
objective: summoning Darkstar in order
to destroy him.
Xellos has found Valgaav but,
unbeknownst to hin1, Filia is spying on
him from behind a stalagmite. He has
come to parlay. Xellos tells Valgaav that
he has come not to kill him, but to bring
him back to the Mazoku's side. Filia is
filled with fear as she wonders what the
treacherous Xellos plans.

between the gods of the Overworld,
whom Almayce's kind serve, and the
forces of Darkstar. Almayce's lord was
Volphied, the Ovenvorld's equivalent to
Ceiphied. Darkstar defeated Volphied
and consumed him, but their combined
powers turned him into an insane force
bent on destroying the entire universe
of the Overworld. Almayce and the
other survivors learned that the power
of the five Darkstar weapons could cut
Darkstar into smaller pieces, letting
them destroy each in detail. Two were
hidden on Lina's world: Gorun Nova and
the other they seek.
Xellos demands Valgaav give him
his answer. Filia begs him not to join the
Mazoku, but Xellos reminds her that it
was her people, the Golden Dragons,
who annihilated the Ancient Dragons,
Valgaav's people. Valgaav shouts back
that the Mazoku are no different, and
that he will never forgive them for killing
Lord Gaav. He gives his answer by firing
a blast at Xellos. and the two begin a fight
to the death.
Lina asks why they could not use
the Darkstar weapons to kill Darkstar
in their own world, to which Almayce
replies that they must summon the
£J>JSODE : 6 5
insane Dark Lord for the plan to work.
He knew Lina's people would never
help them in such a risky plan, so the
Overworlders perforce became their
enemies. Realising that, if Valgaav
succeeds in summoning Darkstar, their
world will end, Lina and Gourry leave to
find Gorun Nova. Almayce steps from his
healing chamber to join them.
Xellos and Valgaav are locked in
mortal combat, and Xellos brings him to
his knees with a flurry ofattacks. He then
tortures Valgaav. Distracted by Filia, he
allows Valgaav to recover, who strikes
him down with Ragud Mezegis. Lina
arrives with Gourry and Almayce. She
learns of Xellos's treachery, bur expected
it. Zelgadis and Amelia then arrive with
JiUas and Gorun Nova. Amelia tosses
Gourry the sword. Almayce attacks
Valgaav, who strikes back with Ragud
Mezegis. Almayce tries to take it from
him, but is struck down. Valgaav then
attacks Lina. Gourry leaps to her defence,
but loses Gorun Nova protecting her.
Valgaav now has both Gorun
Nova and Ragud Mezegis. Using their
power, he takes them all to the Place of
Summoning, where he plans to open the
gate to Darkstar.

about the crime her kind perpetrated
against his. Lina, Amelia, and Zelgadis
then attack, but Valgaav brushes it off.
He leaves to summon Darkstar.
As Lina, Gourry, and Filia
again confront Valgaav, Xellos and
Almayce speak while trying to stop the
summoning. Xellos has figured out the
true nature of the Ovenvorlders: their
lack of an astral body in this dimension
makes them invulnerable to this world's
magic, but their different physical
composition makes them more fragile.
Filia tells Valgaav destroying the
world would be a terrible mistake, but
he retorts that the whole universe was
a giant mistake. He is merely carrying
on Lord Gaav's will by correcting that
mistake. Zelgadis and Amelia attack
from behind, allowing Lina to surprise
Valgaav. Her spell knocks Valgaav down
and pushes him through the lower floors
of the platform to a basement level.
Almavce works to shut down the
machinery; while XeUos offers that he
simply wottld have dumped Darkstar in
this world. Almayce replies that his race, the
God Race, hasacodeofhonour that will not
allow this. Xellos observes that this is why
their two races could never negotiate.
E PIS O DE: 66
The friends attack Valgaav in the
basement, but he, wielding the powers
of a Mazoku and an Ancient Dragon, is
too powerful. Lina gambles and tricks
Valgaav, stabbing him with a dagger.
They fall into a deep pit, and she casts
a Dragon Slave into his body. Valgaav
survives, however. He sprouts wings and
kidnaps Filia, taking her to the platform.
Gripping her hand, he forces her to place
Ragud Mezegis into a magic pedestal,
opening the gate.
A void opens high above Valgaav.
He rises to meet it, and Darkstar begins
to come through. jillas cries out to
Valgaav, but he ignores hin1. lie instead
greets Darkstar and offers himself as the
first victim. Darkstar then eats Valgaav.
Desperate to stop Darkstar, Lina casts
the Giga-Slave spell. Before she can
complete it, two more Overworlders
appear. bearing Nezzard and Bodigar.
Their power is enough to partially seal
the gate, trapping Darkstar, and a vast
explosion fills the area.
Lina awakens, wounded and
floating in the sea, but her friends are
nowhere to be seen. In the distance, the
pillar oflight still shines.

Lina has entered a Caribbean
festival and reluctantly joins in the
dancing. Thinking she sees Gourry in the
crowd, she runs to him, but it is instead
someone in a mask. Now all the dancers
are wearing masks. Pig appears to lead
the crowd in dancing. He tells Lina a
story of a battle between heroes and a
demon that disrupted the dimensions
and created the mad world she finds
herself in. Lina is about to demand to be
taken back to her world when penguin
dancers interrupt her. They are angry
at her for interrupting their dancing
and fire a volley of bottle-rockets at her,
forcing Lina to run away.
She falls over a ledge and lands in a
vast cemetery. Pig appears, dressed as a
nun. Lina questions him, but he shushes
her because a funeral is passing by. One
of the mourners trips and Lina rushes
to his aid. The mourners are penguins,
and they are angry she interrupted their
funeral. Lina runs and falls down another
hole, landing in a library.
Thinking for a moment it was a
dream, she hides when the penguins fall
EPISODE: 67
through the ceiling. Then she discovers
that they, and all the other weird people
and things she met, are props and
puppets. Lina realises that puppets must
have a puppeteer. Blasting through the
wall, she runs into another puppet show,
this time revellers at a royal ball who are
waiting for the king. Rushing past the
puppets, she finds the king in his throne
room. Assuming he is the puppet master,
she marches up to him to give him a piece
of her mind. Lina is shocked to discover
the "king" is Zelgadis.
Zelgadis explains that he has
been trapped here, too. Pig arrives,
and Lina deduces that he is the puppet
master. He confesses he knows no way
to return them to their world. Lina has
had enough. She casts the Dragon Slave
and blasts through the roof of the throne
room. The building collapses and they
are surrounded by acrowd ofpeople. The
"Dimensional Labyrinth" is really a ride
at an amusement park, and Pig is just
an employee in a pig suit. Filia joyfully
rejoins them, having looked all over the
park for them.

with rare and valuable jars. Filia and Lina
accept, but Zelgadis declines.
They hear a noise from outside.
Jarlov tells the them that the evil spirits
wander his ship every night, breaking his
jars. Ile hops to the corridor to make the
spirit stop, and Lina and Filia follow him.
The spirit attacks and chases them. On
deck, Lina drives it away, but it returns
after armouring itself with jars. Filia
is distracted by a rare jar the spirit is
wearing. She takes it, and the spirit tips
over, smashing all the other jars. The
ghost then splits into many spirits and
flees below deck.
Leaving Filia and Lina, Zelgadis
climbs the rigging to play a guitar.
Below deck, Lina and Jarlov look for the
spirits. Filia, meanwhile, has found a
storeroom full of rare jars and decides to
price them. She also finds the ship's log.
She reads and learns of Captain Jarlov's
obsession with jars, and of the crew's
mutiny against his cruelty. As they were
about to throw his most valuable jar
overboard, a giant octopus attacked and
sank the ship.
£ 1' 1SODE: 68
The evil spirits surround Lina
and jarlov in another storeroom. Lina
drives them off, and Filia rushes in.
Filia, Lina, and Jarlov go to a lower deck,
there confronting the spirits in their
lair. The spirits form into a six-armed
beast wielding mallets. Filia changes her
mace into a flail and stalks toward the
creature, challenging it. Her blow bursts
through the ship's hull. The leader of the
ghosts, named Ralmus, is determined to
destroy Jarlov. Lina disperses him with a
mighty spell.
On deck, they find the ship is
~inking. Ralmus appears again, as he
did in life. He weeps for his dead friends,
and Filia says a prayer to send him to
the afterlife. With Ralmus's passing,
Jarlov is himself free to pass on. When he
vanishes, his ship sinks.
Filia, Lina, and Zelgadis arc again
adrift on a raft. Filia has saved one of the
jars, but its value was an illusion. It is
really cracked, ugly, and filled with bugs.
To their horror, the women realise the
food they ate was similarly disguised.

beach. Amelia follows her and sees her
meet her lover Kerel, a human. From
their conversation, it is clear her father
does nor approve. Honar interrupts their
embrace. He is angry with Lila and says he
will never approve of their relationship.
Amelia intervenes and declares
that she cannot allow rwo lovers to be
kept apart. Hooar politely tells her to
butt-out. He tells her that Fish People and
Humans can never be happy together.
Kerel and Amelia dispute that, but Honar
grows angry and takes Lila home. Amelia
encourages Kerel to fight for his love.
In Honar's house, Amelia demands
to know the truth about his obstinacy.
Kerel explains that Lila had saved his
life three months before and it was love
at first sight. Honar tells them a story
of another Fishman-Human couple. In
the end, the Human grew tired of the
Fishman lifestyle, and the relationship
ended. Amelia deduces that Honar is
speaking about himself and that he does
not want his daughter to experience his
pain. Lila cries and wonders if she and
Kerel should just say good-bye. Amelia
will not hear of it; she is certain the.re

Amelia conceives a plan, dressing Gourry
as a mermaid and chaining him to a rock
in the bay to act as bait for the guardian
of the treasure.
The Guardian, a giant sea dragon,
tries to eat Gourry. He breaks free and
flees. Amelia flies above the dragon to
get the treasu.re, a gem in its forehead.
They finally trap the creature, and
Amelia knocks it out. They pull the gem
free and Lila and Kerel escape with it
while Amelia and Gourry distract the
angry dragon.
That night, the potion prepared,
Lila drinks it. Nothing happens. They
must both drink and kiss, thus exchanging
their forms. When they do, Lila becomes

reveals that it was his fear of becoming
human that cost him his love. Kerel and

The village is the headquarters for
the Institute of Absolute Justice. The
villagers came there as young people
to fight for justice, but the valley was
peaceful and they all grew old together.
Now, at last, demons have come. Dai
plays a recording of their voices; the
demons are in the Forbidden Land,
heading for the village. Before Peaceman
could set out to face them, two members
caught colds and were confined to bed.
Dai is certain the demons caused this and
tells Gourry and Amelia they are now
members of Peaceman.
Lackeys present Amelia and
Gourry with their new weapons. Amelia
is renamed "Mei the Swan," while
Gourry is now "Ryo the Young Lion."
They receive their new uniforms and
perform the Peaceman entrance. Amelia
is excited by the prospect of fighting as a
band of warriors dedicated to justice, but
Gourry just wants to find Lina.
The five set out for the Forbidden
Land. Soon they realise they are lost,
though Gourry thinks the old folks did
it deliberately. Dai chastises him, and
Amelia makes a dramatic speech about
the need for absolute dedication, earning
her own special effect. Suddenly, they
£PISODE : 70
become aware ofa servant of the demons
skulking in the woods. It leaps forth, and
Amelia thinks she recognises her father.
It turns out to be a Forest Dwarf, who
happens to resemble Prince Phil. Gourry
drives him off.
Aband of dwarves attack and the
older members meet them in battle,
but they are clearly playacting. Dai tells
Amelia and Gourry to go on without
them, through the next obstacle in the
Valley of the Baby Dragon. They hurry
down the path, where they find a giant
baby pink dragon playing in the water.
Amelia does not want to hurt it, but
the three elder members of Peaceman
appear and attack. The dragon has fun
tossing them around and taking them all
for a ride. Finally a farmer appears and
calls the dragon; it is his pet, Marilyn.
He explains that the dwarves are nice
people and that the old folks are just
playing a game, but Dai insists there are
demons near.
They listen and hear scary laughter
from beyond a tunnel. Hurrying
through, the five find Lina, Filia, and
Zelgadis enjoying a picnic on the grass.
The laughter belongs to Lina and Filia
- these are Dai's "demons."

from the pedestal tuned to Galvayra, and
Erulogos sends a horde of giant insects to
follow it, hoping it will lead them to it.
The bugs appear in the transporter room
and head for the outside world. Lina and
the others follow them.
Jillas prays over the memorials to
his friends, and thinks of how he is now
alone in the world. Then Paulu comes,
and Jillas promises never to leave him.
Paulu and his mother found Jillas after
the explosion and nursed him back to
health. Ile has peace and happiness for
the first time in his life, and swears to
protect them no matter what.
Lina and the others have come to a
ruined town. The insects' path brought
them through here. They harmed no one,
but they are leaving a path of destruction
wherever they go.
Paulo's mother is milking a cow
while Jillas shows Paulu how to fue his
gun, when the insects fly overhead. A
squadron breaks off to attack the farm.
Jillas tries to defend his adoptive family,
but the insects are too strong. Flying
above, Lina's group hears gunshots and
lands. where they find Jillas. Seeing her
alive, Jillas promptly forgets all thought

of happiness, and renews his vows of
revenge. Lina and the others head for
the town.
The insects are attacking the port
town, wrecking everything in sight. The
heroes have little trouble destroying the
fragile constructs. Erulogos detects the
interference and teleports to the town.
He threatens them and orders them to
leave, and the heroes prepare for a fight.
Jillas is building a missile in the
farmyard. PauJu caJls him a coward and
runs away in tears when he refuses to
help the town. Meanwhile, the friends
fight Erulogos, whose power is immense.
Jillas arrives and says he has come to

he launches his missile. As Paulu and
his mother watch, it strikes the town,
causing a tremendous explosion. The
blast uncovers a stele that Erulogos sees
bears a clue to the location of Galvayra.
He leaves immediately.
Jillas has survived, and Paulu wants
him to come home. Jillas must leave
to pursue his revenge, though, and he
walks off with Paulu frantically calling

In her room, Anna tells them of
her mother's prophecy: when the flowers
bloom fully a hero will come to save
the town. Lina sees Sirius from Anna's
window. While she and her friends pursue
him, Anna looks at him with joy-she is
sure Sirius is the heroof the prophecy.
She follows him to an alley,
where he releases more insects to hunt
Galvayra. Anna curtseys, welcoming
the "hero" with a bouquet of flowers.
He takes them from her, unsure of her
intent. She takes his hand and presses
her cheek to it. Meanwhile, Lina and the
others have lost Sirius's trail.
Sirius stands on a bridge and looks
down into stagnant water, convinced
that what he seeks is there. Anna comes
and offers him a picnic basket full of
food. Just as he is about to take it from
her, Lina and the others race toward
them, shouting a warning to Anna. Anna
refuses to believe Lina's warnings that
Sirius is there to destroy the town.
Abolt of energy streaks from the
sky and strikes the bridge. Erulogos
fired it, seeing the Slayers' arrival as
an opportunity to eliminate them and
find Galvayra by destroying the town.
£PISOt> E: 7 2
The heroes attack, but they have little
effect. Erulogos tells them of his plan to
leave Darkstar in their world, shocking
the friends.
As Erulogos unleashes a magical
volley against the heroes and the town
itself, Sirius leaves to search the ruins
of the town; his insects have found
something. Hestops the fires in the town
and teleports back to Erulogos. Sirius
gathers his power and blows a nearby
mountain apart. The resulting crater
reveals another stele. Sirius says he now
has enough information to find Galvayra.
He and Erulogos then leave.
Water bursts fo rth from an
underground river revealed by Sirius's
power, flooding the lower town. Lina
thinks this proves to Anna that he was
not a hero, but she runs to her flower
garden to see it in full bloom. Her
mother's prophecy was true; the new
water means the town is saved.
Filia and Zelgadis are examining
the magical seal on the stele. She realises
the Dragon Race made it to seal away
something terrible, and then to her
horror realises what that something is
and falls trembling to her knees.
P AGE 43

Lina and the others try to enter
the temple, but it is surrounded by a
force-field placed there by the Golden
Dragons. Only Filia can break it. She
casts her spell, and they enter. On a
hill behind them, Erulogos, Sirius, and
Xellos appear.
The five friends travel deep into the
temple, until they come to hall in which
Filia sees something that upsets her.
There are thousands of Ancient Dragon
skulls spiked to the walls. The temple
is also the tomb of an entire race, and
she realises it is not a lost temple of her
people, the Golden Dragons, but of the
Ancient Dragons themselves.
A voice demands to know why one
with Golden Dragon blood has come
to disturb their graves. It accuses her of
being stained with the crime of mass-
murder. Filia denies that her people
could ever do something like this; they
only sought to stop those who would
prevent peace. The spirits of the Ancient
Dragon priests appear and show her a
vision of the past.
After the War ofThe Monsters' Fall,
the Golden Dragons desired a new power
to replace that of the Water Dragon King,
who had fallen. The Ancient Dragons
£ P JSOD£: 73
had the weapon Galvayra, but refused
to use it or surrender it. They were
pacifists who stayed out of the war. They
sealed the weapon away, but the Golden
Dragons feared they would eventually
use it, so they ordered the annihilation of
the Ancient Dragons. Filiasees a vision of
the final battlefield, with a young Valgaav
crying among the corpses.
Breaking the next barrier, Filia
comes to a final set offields surrounding
the weapon's resting place. These take
time to remove, and Erulogos uses this
opportunity to attack. Lina and her
friends rush to cover Filia until she can
bring the barriers down.
Xellos materialises high in the
shadows of the temple. He walks toward
Filia, but Almayce appears and blocks
his way. Her accuses Xellos of trying to
cheat them by getting the weapon for
himself. Meanwhile, Filia has but one
more barrier to remove.
On the roof of the temple, the four
Slayers are readying to fight Erulogos
and Sirius when the Golden Dragon
army appears in the sky. Inside, Filia is
surprised when the Supreme Elder walks
out of the light of the final barrier.
PAGE 45

Outside, Erulogos then returns fire,
killing dozens of dragons with a single
blast. One falls dying near Lina and her
friends. When she asks why he fought a
hopeless battle, he replies that it was his
duty and tells them the Supreme Elder is
in the temple.
Filia now understands that the
Supreme Elder is willing to sacrifice
not only her, but all his people, rather
than hand over Galvayra, and that he
knew all along that it was here. Xellos
demands that he take down the barrier,
but the Supreme Elder says he cannot; the
barrier was cast by the Ancient Dragons
themselves. He says that the Ancient
Dragons !:ad turned against those who
serve the gods, so the Golden Dragons
destroyed them before they could become
a threat to the peace of the world. They
then sealed the temple and the weapon
behind barriers of their own.
Filia accuses him of lying: they
killed the Ancient Dragons because they
refused to fight for the Golden Dragons.
The Supreme Elder retorts that only
they could be trusted with the weapon's
power. In return, Xellos observes that
the Ancient Dragons probably hid the
weapon to keep it from the clutches of
£PISOD E : 7 4
the Golden Dragons, who would be sure
to abuse it. Xellos prepares to kill the
Supreme Elder, who changes to dragon
form to battle him.
Outside, Lina and her friends
overlook a battlefield covered with
hundreds of Golden Dragon corpses: the
Overworlders slaughtered their army.
They hear an explosion from within
the temple and rush inside. Xellos has
tricked Filia into casting a Holy Magic
spell at him, which he absorbs, fuses
with his own magic, and uses it to break
through the barrier. Before he can grab
Galvayra, Lina knocks him to the ground,
and the barrier restores itself. Almayce
offers a deal to Lina, but she refuses.
Filia and the Supreme Elder attack
Almayce, while Amelia, Gourry, and
Zelgadis hold offXellos. They use his one
great weakness to bring him to his knees.
Lina stands before the barrier and casts
the Ragna Blade to smash the barrier. She
takes Galvayra, and Almayce breaks free
to challenge her. As he moves to attack
her, Erulogos appears and stabs him in
the back, killing him. Xellos breaks free
of Amelia and steals Galvayra from Lina,
knocking her out. He then vanishes with
the final Darkstar weapon.
PAGE 47

He intends to close the gate, then destroy
it. He appreciates the irony in a Mazoku
saving the world, however. Erulogos
draws his weapon from its pedestal and
attacks Xellos.
Deep beneath Valgaav's lair,
JiUas builds what he calls "an ultimate
weapon" for his revenge against Lina.
He hears her voice in the distance and
realises his moment has come.
As the heroes walk through the
tunnel, Filia lags behind, thinking of
Valgaav and the wrongs done to him.
Lina snaps her out of her reverie and
takes her back to the group. Just then,
Jillas fires the cannon on his new
weapon, a tank armoured in orihalcon,
making it proof against Lina's spells.
Insulting her and ducking back into the
tank, he turns the cannon on the heroes
and fires again.
Gourry and Zelgadis rush to
attack. They fall into a trap. however,
and Jillas blasts them to the other side
of the cavern. Then he drops the front
of the vehicle, revealing a giant spiked
bomb. Jillas intends to blow them all up,
including himselfl He does not care if he
lives or dies, so long as he has vengeance.
Filia has heard enough, and begs him
EPISODE : 7 ~
to give up the madness of revenge. She
accepts his hatred and offers herself
as a sacrifice, if only he lets Lina and
the others go. JiUas is visibly moved,
but then accidentally sets off the self-
destruct sequence.
Filia shields him with her body.
The bomb explodes, but he filled it with
fireworks instead of gunpowder. Lina
berates Filia for trying to be a martyr,
but then makes it dear she is glad Filia is
still around. Jillas weeps over yet another
failure, but Filia's kindness to him has
made him her devoted servant. He takes
the party to the transporter room and
tries to operate the device for them.
Jillas is only partially successful, and the
transporter leaves them in mid-air over
the ocean. Before they can drown, Filia
transforms into a dragon and catches
them. They then turn and fly toward the
pillar oflight.
Erulogos and Xellos are still
fighting, while Darkstar comes closer
to breaking through. Sirius proposes
an alliance, for the only option left to
both sides is the death of Darkstar.
Xellos agrees, noting that time is short.
At sea, the heroes can see that the gate
is opening.

into action: Gourry grabs the Sword of
Light, and Zelgadis takes Ragud Mezegis.
Xellos wields Galvayra. Sirius warns
them that, since magic will not affect
Darkstar, they must use the weapons to
destroy him.
The gate opens and Darkstar
begins to come through. Just as the four
other bearers of the Darkstar weapons
are ready to attack, Erulogos hesitates.
He cannot understand why the humans
have entered a fight that is not even
theirs. Lina replies that she would hate
herself in the morning if she stood by
while the Overworld was destroyed, and
there is still hope that her own world
will survive, which means she must keep
trying. Doubt fills Erulogos, but he steels
himself for battle.
Sirius chants the incantation to
activate the five weapons and coruscating
light surrounds Darkstar. He struggles
mightily as the gate closes, trapping
Darkstar over the Place of Summoning.
Cut off from his world, his power is now
halved. Xellos orders them to attack.
Gourry charges with Gorun Nova and
wounds the monster. Zelgadis tries
channelling a Ra Tilt through Ragud
Mezegis, enabling their magic to affect
£PISODE : 7 6
Darkstar. It works, and Lina tells Filia
to help Gourry. Amelia then adds her
power to Zelgadis's. Lina, meanwhile,
tells Filia she plans to use the Ragna
Blade and, to herself, that she has the
Giga Slave, if need be.
Their combined powers wound
Darkstar severely, but are not enough to
destroy him. The beast hesitates, reacting
to something in their world. Sirius
cannot understand this, for Darkstar has
no connection to this world that would
let him react to anything. Filia then take
a jewel from her cloak that she acquired
at the temple of the Ancient Dragons.
It is glowing. Darkstar suddenly breaks
free and flies toward the mainland. The
heroes take off in pursuit, riding on
Filia's back.
Across the seas they fly. Filia is
barely able to keep up with Darkstar,
and only Lina and Amelia's magic keeps
her from collapsing in exhaustion. In the
distance, they can see the temple of the
Fire Dragon King. Darkstar's goal. The
creature hovers over the temple, and
the heroes are shocked to hear a familiar
voice from within the swirling blackness
of Darkstar: Valgaav.
PAGE 51

At last Valgaav speaks, mocking
the Supreme Elder, the murderer of
his people. The Supreme Elder admits
his responsibility for the past, but will
not acknowledge making any mistakes.
Valgaav then proclaims the Supreme
Eider's existence a mistake and burns
him to ashes.
Filia, now the last of those who
served at the temple, walks toward
Valgaav. When he asks her whom she
hates, she says she hates no one. She asks
how she can atone for the sins her people
committed against his and how she can
prevent more deaths. He sighs and says
she does not understand. He does not
want revenge - he wants to purify the
entire world by destroying it and letting
it start over.
Valgaav asks her a question:
why does the war of the Gods and
the Monsters endlessly repeat itself?
Sometimes the gods win, sometimes the
Mazoku. The cycle never ends, however.
Xellos is shocked, for this knowledge is
forbidden toall. Valgaav answers his own
question, saying it is because they are all
caught in a trap someone else created. He
was told this by Darkstar and Volphied,
who are now a part of him. Volphied
£ PJS0t>E: 77
willingly merged \\~th Darkstar to purify
the Ovenvorld, and now, merged with
Valgaav, they will purify all the worlds.
They have rebelled against their creator,
the Lord of Nightmares.
Lina interrupts to say that humans
do not deserve to die for the sins of Gods
and Mazoku. Their interest is to keep on
living. and she and her friends will do all
they can to fight Valgaav. Filia realises
that humans are key to the prophecy,
and Xellos fires a bolt at Valgaav. Valgaav
counterattacks, and the Slayers and the
Overworlders join the battle.

not know. Erulogos charges and attacks,
but Valgaav obliterates him, saying it
is time to free the universe from the
unending and meaningless struggles of
Gods and Mazoku.
Filia, Lina, and Xellos come to a
final understanding of the meaning of
the prophecy. The five stars are the five
Darkstar weapons, and the magic of the
Mazoku is the power beyond twilight,
while the brilliance beyond the dawn
is the power of the Gods. The one to
control that power is a human - Lina.
They realise they must combine the
power of Ceiphied, Shabranigdo, and
the five weapons and channel it through
Lina, the only being with the capacity to
control that much power.
Lina calls on the weapon-bearers
to form a circle around her and to
attack at her signal. The weapons
charge and Xellos readies himself to tap
Shabranigdo's power, but Filia wavers.
Wracked by guilt for what her people
did to the Ancient Dragons, she cannot
bring herself to destroy Valgaav, even if
he is now a part of Darkstar. Lina snaps
her out of it by telling her that simply

committed against Valgaav's people. She
agrees, and with new resolve joins the
circle, summoning Ceiphied's power.
With Lina wielding Galvayra at
the centre, the four other weapons pour
their power into Galvayra, as do Filia and
Xellos. Lina chants the spell that fuses
all into one power, while Valgaav begins
the final process ofdestruction. She fires,
and the fused magic strikes Valgaav-
Darkstar, destroying him and sealing the
gate to the Overworld.
Near the ruins of the temple, the
heroes contemplate their bittersweet
victory, knowing that Valgaav himself
was a victim. From the sky fall white
feathers, and among them is a small
dragon egg. Filia catches it and she
sees within it a tiny Ancient Dragon -
Valgaav. The fused magic that destroyed
him also enabled his rebirth, purified
and healed.
On a hill above a seaport, Sirius
returns to his world with the five
Oarkstar weapons, including the Sword
of Light. With smiles all-around, the
Slayers say goodbye to Filia and head

1ler good qualitil's outweigh her bad, though. Indeed, in some cases they
strengthen her good qualities and pull her through some rough spots. She is
ever optimistic and meets any failure with a willingness to try again. This also
establishes her as a natural leader, making decisions for the group and rallying
them in times of danger. In the final crisis with Darkstar. even the O\'emorlders

Lina has also come to fully accept the responsibilities that come with great

another sign of her growth is her amptance of her need ofGourry in her life.
Lina and Zelgadis first met as enemies. but now she thinks of him as a loyal
ally and friend. Usually cheerful herself, his fatalistic and taciturn nature makes
theirs an odd relationship. She once worried about his habit of wandering off on
his own, but now accepts that as the way he is, though she is still concerned about
him and wants to help find a cmc for his curse. Amelia fills the role of the annoying
little sister for Lina. In the past, she has caused problems by being o\'er·eager, and
her unrealistic ideas about justice and fighting evil often prevent Lina from doing
what seems sensible. Amelia, howerer. has proved usefol in the battles against many
enemies, and the two have bonded like sisters- especially when teasing Gourry.
Filia annoys Lina, becau~e ~he i~ prim and proper. while Lina comes from

Gourry tries to make things heller in any lillle way he can.
If Gourry had a fault besides his forgetfulness, it is pride. Ile is a superior
sword~man and it is hard for him to refuse a challenge to duel. Perhaps pride in
his family is a factor, too. since his sword is an heirloom handed do1111 from the
legendary Swordsman of Light. He seems to have partially grown past that in Thr
Slayers Try; while he initially opposes giving up the Sword of Light, he willingly
relinquishes it at the end to send Lord Darkstar back to the Ovemorld. He is
content with a good normal sword and his relationship with Lina.
Lina is Gourry's best friend in the series, and she is now his girlfriend. Their
relationship began with him thinking of her merely as a liule girl, growing through
his becoming her protector and friend, and evolving to the point where each
realised they were in love with the other. They have become asmoothly functioning
team, largely because Gourry absolutely trusts Lina's judgement in a crisis. Even if
he cannot understand why she chooses a particular course of action, that Lina has
chosen it is enough for him.
Why Gourry puts up with Lina's abuse is hard to fathom. Perhaps he
tolerates it because he is so easy-going and realises that much of what she says
is true: he is an idiot. Also, despite her irascibility, he knows she trusts him and
values his companionship. Their closeness is shown at the end of the series; when
all the other heroes go their separate ways, Lina and Gourry walk off together, arm
in arm.
Amelia's hero-worship often has driven Gourry to distraction, since it often
landed the group in hot water. Now that she does that less, Gourry has to put up
with her increasing bossiness. She arranges for him to be tied to the rocks as bait.

As with Lina, Gourry began his relationship with Zelgadis on difficult terms,
yet he slowly came to trust him. While Gourry does not wholly understand the
taciturn chimera-swordsman, Zelgadis becomes a friend and welcome comrade
in arms.
Filia and X<'llos confuse Gourry. The latter is a demon who should be
his enemy, yet he has saved his friends many times and has always acted like a
pleasant fellow to him. Gourry likely takes his lead from Lina; if she trusts him,
he will. Filia and Gourry get off to a rocky start when he looks up her dress to see
why she has a dragon's tail. but, after that, they become allies in the fight to sa\•e

Gour!)' how to make dramatic entrances.
Amelia's world is a simple melodrama, in which one is either a pure-hearted
servant of justice or a villainous blackguard. To her credit. her loyalty to her allies
is absolute and if they serve justice. she is with them until the end. 1Ier faith in the
cause of justice also makes her eternally optimistic. Even in the worst of times. her
friends can count on her "never say die· attitude. It is this strength ofcharacter that
helps them put up with her frequent preaching and hero-worship.
In the past. Amelia's inexperience and na'ivete in the service of justice has
landed her and her friends in trouble. She has been prone to believe whatever
anyone tells her about another person being an agent of good or evil. In prior
years, she fell for the tricks of bounty-hunters working for an evil sorceress. and
momentarily believed she. hersdf. was evil when Lord Gaav confused her. By
the time of 7/ie Slayers Try. however. Amelia is beginning to grow out of this with
experience. She is becoming more perceptive and wise, as seen when she figures
out Honar's secret in /111111t'dia11• Rl'Sl1lts! LoPr Is 111 The Tiny Dij'erences! By the end
of the series, she has assumed a role in the daily government ofSeyruun.
Lina Inverse is like a big sister to Amelia - someone to look up to and
somrone to fear. Amelia also has the little sibling's talent for exasperating her
"big sister." Jn 1111• Slayers Try, Amelia continues the trend established last season
of becoming more and more like Lina - particularly her bad habits. She gobbles
down food as fast as Lina and Gourry and is just as anxious as Lina to find their
next big meal. She is also showing signs of developing a temper and a willingness
to brawl. perhaps again due to Lina's influence.
Gourry is like a big. dumb, reliable brother to her. While she does not do
it as much as Lina, she does boss Gourry around and intimidate him, as in The
Right Person /11 111r Right Place! t\mrlia In Thr Village Offustier! In her 01111 mind,
Amelia is certain that Gourry needs occasional reminders that they serve the cause
of justice.
Amelia has a crush on the mysterious swordsman. Zelgadis. Although he
is a man offew words. his quest for a cure for his tragic curse and his dedication
to whatever cause he champions captures her heart. She does not yet understand
her feelings, however. Amelia is jealous of Lina when the sorceress is paired with
Zelgadis in Thr Hurdle's Cleared? ji/las's llidden Poim!, but cannot understand
why. By the end of the series, she comes to terms with her feelings, as shown when
she asks Zelgadis to come to Seyruun and when she gi\'es him a gift. one of her
medallions lo remember her, after he left the group al the end ofrhe Slayers T(v.
Amelia cannot quite figure out how she should react to Xellos. On the one
hand. he has lied to them. deceived them. manipulated them and used them for
his own ends ... and he is a Mazoku! By all rights. she should be his dire enemy. Yet,
he has also saved their lives many times and proved himself valiant in the ultimate
fight to save the universe. In the end. what is impor~ant lo Amelia. is th~ cause

Filia turns from an employer to a friend over the course of Thr Slayers

feels sympathy for Filia's pain and shame when she learns the dark secret of
her people.

 Zelgadis's personality is a study in contrast to those of his friends. While CHARACTERS
Gourry and Lina eat like hogs at a trough, he is abstemious: a cup of tea and a small
bit to eat are enough for him. When they whine about their hunger, he quietly
carries on. While they yearn for a soft bed and a warm fire, he quietly endures hard
nights in the wilderness in pursuit of his goals. He says only as much as is necessary
and disapproves offoolishness. In his view, one should always act with dignity and
focus. Paradoxically. this makes him a natural leader, and his resolve in the face
ofdanger has been known to inspire others. He also has a philosophical or poetic
bent, although a rather bleak one. He once describes himself as "An unfortunate
chimera, who wanders the wastelands of his own soul."
While he does not initially have the dose bonds offriendship with the others
that Lina, Amelia, and Gourry share. he is nonetheless loyal to comrades in arms.
even when his self-interest might dictate ignoring them. Although he comes to the
Outer World to find a cure, he joins the quest to defeat Valgaav and Darkstar. Even
when Filia irritates him by being vague about prophecy, and even when the cause
seems lost. he does not abandon his friends or his promise.
Tiu· Slayers Try presents an interesting change in Zelgadis's personality.
During a confrontation in a port in the Outer World. a citizen calls Zelgadis
a "mysterious. heartless swordsman." lie likes the description and takes to
the role with relish, although Filia later makes him pay. He also dramatically
faces-down Jillas and his gunmen in Rmdy for Exile! fs11 '1 Tiro Pt'opk loi•t' s
Etemal?, using his inhuman nature to terrify them by withstanding their
hail of bullets. It is as if he is coming to terms with himself, almost accepting
what he has become. Thm is also a vindictive clement, though, perhaps
saying, "You think of me as a monster, then 1 will show you a monster."
Lina Inverse is a puzzle to Zelgadis. Awoman of immense talent, she seems to
have no self-control and regularly wastes time and energy on creature comforts. She
also tries his patience with her flippant attitudes. He does, however, respect her fierce
determination and skill in a fight. By the time of the confrontation with Darkstar. he
has seen her possessed by the Lord of Nightmares, sun•ive. and win. Although her
temper frightens him, he trusts her judgement in a tight spot implicitly.
Gourry and Zelgadis become friends over the years, swordsmen who trust
each other completely in a pinch. They have little in common intellectually
- Zelgadis may wonder if Gourry even has an intellect - but they both relish a
good fight and appreciate each other's skill.
Amelia makes Zelgadis uncomfortable. When they first met, she was an
annoying. hero-worshipping little kid. Now there are hints she is romantically
attracted to him. His obsession with a cure leads him to deny himself. for the
moment at least. her affections, even though she clearly cares for him in spite of his
monstrous looks. His ascetic, melancholy nature allows him only to carry a token
of her after he leaves the group at the end of Slayers Try.
Xellos greatly annoys Zelgadis. because the mysterious.priest ha.d co~stant~y
fed them false leads about the location of the Claire Bible, winch Zelgad1s
desperately hoped would cure his curse. Zelgadis is a realist, however, and
eventually, albeit grudgingly, accepted the Mazoku as part of the group because of
the power he brings to a fight and the knowledge he has. For Zelgadis, Xellos is an
ally of convenience, and not a friend.
Zelgadis sympathises with the burden Filia carries. but is dumsy in his
attempts to cheer her up. While allies. they never become close.

like a liule girl. In The Hurdle's Cleared? jillas's Hidden Power!, she stays behind aller
the others have left for the temple and makes dolls out of the rocks, talking to them
about how mean everyone is to her.
Xellos takes special joy in puncturing her fragile sense of dignity. In A Wild
Rumour? You Can't Hare Smoke Without Firt•?. he needles her with taunts about the
Dragon Race until she explodes and changes into dragon form. after which she
loses control and destroys the town. Indeed. the mere presence of a Mazoku can
send her into a towering rage.
Nevertheless, Filia is a caring, loving. and perceptive person who grows
through the challenges she faces. In A Peace Confiw1ce? This Is The Dragon Shrine?,
she obsen•es that, because humans live shorter lives than dragons, they also live
fuller ones. She is a gentle soul who loves puppies and wants to open an antique jar
and mace store. She even reforms Jillas, whom she takes under her wing after he
tries to kill them all in No font• For Arguing! /lead For 1111· Showdown!
Her growth into a confident, adult woman comes as she learns the truth
behind the near-extinction of the race of Ancient Dragons - that her people had
massacred them because they would not surrender Galvayra, the fifth Oarkstar
weapon. 'vVith her illusions shattered, she takes on the burden of their sin and tries
to rescue \lalgaav from his self.destructive path, though he will have none of it,
even when she offers herself as a sacrifice to save the world. In the end she is given
her chance to make amends for the whole Gold Dragon race. Jn Try Again! Whm
All Retums To White!, a small egg floats down from the sk'}' after the destruction
of Darkstar. It contains an embryonic Ancient Dragon - Valgaav reborn. Filia
accepts the responsibility and becomes mother to the renewed race of Ancient
Dragons. The final symbol of her passage to adulthood comes in the final credits,
where she is shown running her shop and wearing glasses. The unsure teenager
grown into a confident. mature woman.
Filia and Lina are opposites in temperament. or, at least, Filia tries to be
the opposite by maintaining her poise and dignity. When she loses her temper,
though. the two resemble each other more than Filia would like. They begin their
relationship by mutually gelling under each other's skin. united only by Filia's
need to accomplish her mission and Lina's need to avoid her sister's punishment.
She gains respect for Lina as the crisis grows. and Lina develops a great deal of
sympathy for Filia. By the end of the series, Filia and Lina have become friends.
Filia's relationship with Xellos cannot be described so much as "love·hate"
as "hate-tolerate." The Mazoku are her racial enemies, and Xellos especially so.
Once they are joined in the mission. she regularly insults and angers him. and
often refuses Lo co-operate with hin1 in any way. Their adventures together,
however. build a grudging respect between them and perhaps even some degree of
friendliness. though neither would ever admit it to the other.
I!er relationship with \lalgaav is the most important, for he is the vehicle
of her growth. Through the revelations at the Temple of the Ancient Dragons in
Sm•age And Unexplored! History Sealed All'ay!. she lear_ns of his t~rtured past and
the massacre of his people by hers. Already sympathetic toward Ins pam. her he~rt
breaks and she makes a heroic effort to heal his soul. Although she cannot save him

Lies are an important part of his repertoire. too. In On the Mo1·e! Hts Out for
Rcwnge?, he promises lo guarantee Gourry's ownership of the Sword of Light, yet
quietly saying to himself. "while it's to my advantage. at least."
Xellos often cannot operate openly, for many Mazoku would recognise him
on sight. Xellos must therefore use others as his pawns to achieve his masters'
goals. He sets them difficult tests to see if they are up to the real challenges ahead,
and he has a talent for picking the right people. Ha,fog earlier satisfied himself of
the abilities of Lina and her friends, he has no doubts about using them as bait to
draw out Valgaav.
Betrayal is one ofXellos's weapons. and he respects alliances only while they
are useful. If an easier means of achieving a goal presents itself. then the alliance
is expendable. His masters have tasked Xellos to bring Valgaav bark to the ranks
of the Mazoku. and he oilers to kill Lina if\lalgaav agrees in An ExplosiPe Situation!
The One Who Holds The KcJ•!
Xellos is also ruthless. He is uncaring about the plight of others if it does
not affect his mission and he even is willing to kill allies to gain his way. In On thr
Mon•!. he dismisses the destruction oft he Sand People's village as unimportant to
him, since Valgaav is not there any longer. In Etmml DeaJh. Final Farewells! A Cry
To The Fa/Im!. he is prepared to kill Filia and the Supreme Elder in order to get his
hands on the final Darkstar weapon.
Cruelty is a part ofXellos's personality. too. He admits to letting people get in
trouble in A Wild Rumour? }~11 Can't Hart' Smoke Without Fire? because this makes
pursuing a goal more fun. lie dearly takes pleasure in torturing Valgaav in An
Explosfre Situation! The One Who I folds Tiu K1y!
Finally. one cannot forget that ewrything Xellos does is aimed toward one
goal: victory for the Mazoku and the return of the world to pure Chaos. He gives this
as his reason for opposing Valgaa,,.s plan to let Oarkstar do it. for only the Mazoku
of this world should have the pri\•ilege ofdestroying it. Even here his sense ofironic
humour shows; it amuses him that the Mazoku is forced into sa\ing the world.
llis relationship with Lina Inverse is an odd one. On the one hand. he uses
her as a decoy to trap Valgaav: on the other. he dearly respects her ability and
power. which 1ivals that of a Mazoku. Xellos also knows that Lina is aware he
will try to double-cross her. so his deceptions will not work with the sorceress.
Perhaps the best way to describe their relationship is that of friendly enemies who
enjoy each other's company while recognising they may eYentually have Lo cross
swords and spells. Unexplained. however. is why Xellos, one of the most powerful
beings in the universe. lets himself be intimidated by a mortal sorceress. It must
be a secret.
His other significant relationship is with Filia. The Mazoku and the Gold
Dragons are .ancient and mortal enemies. and t~eir ~arty encoun~ers threa~en. to
erupt into violence at any time. Xellos cannot resist pnckmg her pnde and d1gmty.
while Filia insults him al almost every opportunity. By the end of Slayers T(J". they
have set aside their differences long enough to co·operate against the threat of
Darkstar and even develop a grudging regard for each other.
The other major characters - Gourry. Amelia. and Zelgadis - have no
significant relationship \\'ith Xellos other than being friends of Lina ... although he
does enjoy irritating Zelgadis, too.

The land in which in which the first
two seasons of Tht Slayers are set is one
small part of a vast continent, which is
shaped like a great crab facing south. Lina's
homeland sits on the north-eastern "leg"
of the crab, and the first port the Slayers
visit in the Outer World looks to be located
on the north coast of the next "leg" south.
South and west of both is the Demon Sea,
and far out on that is the island called "the
Centre of the World," on which rests the
Place ofSummoning.

 SETTING

Anachronisms aside, society in The

Slayers is medieval at its core. Principalities
are ruled by kings, princes, and lesser
nobility. While their role is to provide good
government, justice, and peace to their
people, reality often differs from the ideal.
Democratic government is mostly absent,
but many rulers have councils of trusted
advisors. Feudal ties to the land seem weak;
many people hold part-time jobs and are
free to travel where they wish.

The Overworld is the home of

plane of existence; its two main gods
are Volphied, the equivalent of Ceiphied

Dark Lord Dugradigdo or "Darkstar,"
the counterpart to Shabranigdo. The
Overworld faces destruction after

NEW ATTR1DVTES
To accurately reflect the magic of Lina's world, use the following new Attributes.
Com¢bk Strm5tl1
Cost: 2 Points/Level
Relevant Stat: Body
Type: Nonnal
The character is capable of tremendous feats of strength when enraged, frustrated, or embarrassed by the
stupid acts of others. He or she gains the strength and agility of a tiger and the moves of a professional wrestler.
One blow from the character is enough to knock out a horse or a powerful demon, or to smash open a door that
frustrates the character.
This Attribute only bas effect in humorous situations: the Game Master should never let a player take
advantage ofComedic Strength in climatic battles or other dramatic moments. It is meant to amuse, not to enrich.
Level 1 The character gets a -4 bonus on all Body Stat checks
Level 2 The character gets a -8 bonus on all Body Stat checks

Couttf¢r-Ma5k
Cost: 1 Point/Level
Relevant Stat: Soul
Type: Paranormal
With this Attribute, a character can dispel magic cast by another. It is typically used to end curses and other
undesirable spells. For each Level of Counter-Magic, a character making a successful Soul Stat check dispels five
Energy Points used to power the opposing spell. This is an opposed check: the GM then rolls a Soul Stat check for
the caster of the target spell (or a player makes a roll ifthe caster is a player character). This power is useless against
magic that lasts for but a moment, such as Fireball and Aasha Dist. If all the Energy Points powering a spell are
dispelled, the target's magical effect is eliminated.
Level 1 Caster's Soul Stat check is made at -1 bonus. Target's Soul Stat check is made at +l penalty. Success
dispels 5 Energy Points powering the target spell.
Level 2 Caster's Soul Stat check is made at -2 bonus. Target's Soul Stat check is made at +2 penalty. Success
dispels 10 Energy Points powering the target spell.
Level 3 Caster's Soul Stat check is made at -3 bonus. Target's Soul Stat check is made at +3 penalty. Success
dispels 15 Energy Points powering the target spell.
Level 4 Caster's Soul Stat check is made at -4 bonus. Target's Soul Stat check is made at +4 penalty. Success
dispels 20 Energy Points powering the target spell.
Level 5 Caster's Soul Stat check is made at -5 bonus. Target's Soul Stat check is made at +5 penalty. Success
dispels 25 Energy Points powering the target spell.
Level 6 Caster's Soul Stat check is made at -6 bonus. Target's Soul Stat check is made at +6 penalty. Success
dispels 30 Energy Points powering the target spell.

NEW FORCE FIELD ABILITY

lttcreaseb Area
This ability multiplies by 10 the area protected by a force field. In other words, a two-dimensional force field
covering 10 square metres would cover 100 square metres when modified with this ability. It may be taken more
than once

NEW DEFECTS
life Hates Me
BP: 1 or2
Nothing seems to go right for a character with this Defect. He or she takes the wrong tum while making a
getaway, trips when trying to make agrand entrance, and accidentally uses the wrong explosives. When a character
takes "Life Hates Me," the GM may call for the re-roll ofany success to see ifit instead turns to failure. He or she may
do this a number of times per game session equal to the Bonus Points of the Defect.
Otte £\ie
BP: 1
The character was born with only one eye, or all but one of its eyes were ruined. Lacking depth perception,
characters with just one eye have a +2 penalty to any roll involving throwing. firing, or shooting.

GVN COMBAT SKILL

The Slayers Try makes use of the "Medieval Fantasy" Skill list from Big Eyes, Small Mou/Ji. However, that list does
not include Gun Combat. Since guns are known but not yet common in the Outer World, that Skill is added to the
"Medieval Fantasy" list at a cost of3 Points/Level.

MAG JC
The world of The Slayers is unique because two types of sorcery co-exist in it: Magic and. Dynamic Sore:?'·
While sorcerers may alter their spells "on the fly,~ their ability to do so is limited. To reflect this, mortal magic is
represented by the Magic Special Attribute.
Mazoku and creatures they possess enjoy a much greater flexibility when working magic. As creatur~s of C~a~s
themselves, they do not appear to be bound by the rule governing mortal sorcerers. For that reason, therr magic ts
represented by the Dynamic Sorcery Special Attribute.
Nnv Mask Optiott
Custom is¢
The sorcerer quickly changes the parameters ofa spell designed as a Special Attack, thus tailoring it to specific
situations. By expending four times the Energy Point cost to cast a spell, the attacker may add or delete one Ability
or Disability, which will also alter the damage done by the spell Asorcerer may also swap one Ability or Disability
for another ofeither kind. Ifthe added Ability or Disability counts for more than one "slot," then the cost to cast the
spell is further increased by four Energy Points for each past the first. Finally, desperate sorcerers may customise a
spell designed as a Special Attack by spending five times the usual Energy Point cost per Level to improve it one or
more Levels, thus increasing the damage inflicted.
Sp~lls
Most spells demand only a moment to cast: the sorcerer says the spell's name and it takes effect. Others require
an incantation; these are identified by the Slow Disab ility. All Point costs are at the minimum required to purchase
the spell.

A set of four amulets originally owned by Xellos, Lina bought them after she saw their power in the battle with
Zazan. The wearer can call once per day on the power of the Lords ofthe Mazoku to add their power to the spell being cast.

Item of Power Level 2, 4 Points (Energy Bonus Level 10, 10 Points)
Cloalt of tl1¢ AnttoUf'li
This ratty old cloak was a gift of Lord Valgaav to Jillas, whose love of explosives amused him. The cloak is
actually an extra-dimensional closet that holds as many weapons as Jillas can stuffinto it. He merely has to hang the
weapons from the loops inside his cloak, wrap it around himself, will them into the closet, and open the cloak again.
They are now gone, stored in the extra-dimensional space. To draw out weapons, he doses the cloak again and thinks
of the items he wants. When he opens his cloak, they are hanging from its inside. Items too large to hang from the
cloak will tear it, thus ruining it.

AND WHAT OF THE HEROES?

The animation accompanying the final theme shows what became of the heroes after the defeat of Darkstar.
Filia has opened her antique maces and jars shop in a small town, perhaps the same seaport where she parted from
her friends. Her helpers are Jillas and Gravos, who was rescued from orbit. In a nearby basket, Valgaav's egg lays
amidst blankets. Filia has become his adoptive mother.
In Seyruun, Amelia signs documents brought to her by a long ~e of couns~llors: She has becom~ her father's
partner in ruling Seyruun with justice. Tired, she looks out the wmdow at flying buds, perhaps w1Stful for her
adventures and thinking of her friends, Zelgadis in particular.
Zelgadis again wanders alone, forever looking for a cure for his curse. When he stops to rest, we see he carries
one of Amelia's amulets, a remembrance and token of her affection. Xellos returns to plotting, and is last seen
nervously trying to explain things to his superior, Lord Beastmaster. Lina and Gourry are doin~ what they most
enjoy, hanging out together and stuffing themselves with food until the next adventure comes thelf way.

COSMOLOGY AND MAGIC

The Slaym Try provides more infonnation about the nature of the universe. While previous seasons hinted at
the nature of the universe and magic, this final season dives directly into the meaning of existence.
In the previous seasons, Lina explained to Gourry that their world is like a dish spinning on a pole, and t~at
it was one among many such dishes, each on its own pole. Each dish presumably represented not only the physical
world, but that world's associated Astral Plane and the realm of the afterlife. In The Slayers Try, it is revealed that
travel between these worlds is possible when the Ovenvorlders arrive in Lina's universe. We also learn that each
universe has its own chief God and Dark Lord, the equivalents of Ceiphied and Volphied on the one hand, and
Shabranigdo and Dugradigdo/Darkstar on the other.
The Gods and Dark Lords each have their own servants, who carry out their will. In Lina's universe, these are
the Dragon Race and the Mazoku. In the Ovenvorld, Volphied was served by the God Race, while the servants of
Dugracligdo were eaten when he went insane and became Darkstar. The two sides are normally bitterest enemies,
but, in The Slayers Try, the Mazoku side with the Dragons and the God Race to stop Darkstar. Servants of the Gods
and the Dark Lords will continue to advance their masters' interests, even ifthe master is defeated, as do the Mazoku
for Shabranigdo.
Magic has certain rules in the setting of The Slayers, which are only revealed piecemeal through the three series:
• Black Magic spells are really prayers to Shabranigdo and his minions to use their powers to harm others,
including their own minions or even themselves. The only spells that may hurt a Mazoku without its permission
are those permitted by a higher Mazoku. Thus, Shabranigdo could let the Gaav Flare hurt Lord Gaav, even though
Gaav designed the spell himself and denies permission. This rule, however does not apply to interactions between
fellow Mazoku.
• For a spell to harm a being directly, the target must have an astral body in the Astral Plane of the universe in
which the spell is cast. For example, the Overworlders are immune to the magic of Lina's universe because their astral
bodies are still on the Astral Plane of their universe.
• The magic of the Lord of Nightmares trumps all. As the creator of all the universes, the Lord ofNightmares
is superior to all beings: Gods, Mazoku, and mortal. When invoked, its power easily overwhelms that of its lesser
creations, as it showed when it destroyed Hellrnaster Phibrizzo. This is why the Ragna Blade works against powerful
Mazoku, for it summons the Lord of Nightmare's power, while the Giga-Slave risks summoning the Lord directly.
Of the other forms of magic, White Magic is wasted on the Mazoku, since it is a magic of healing. Holy Magic
has some spells that may be effective against them, while powerful astral spells, such as Ra Tilt, can hurt them by
attacking their astral form, unless they are ovenvhelmingly powerful like the lieutenants ofShabranigdo.

SLAVERS TRY OPENING THEME: "BREEZE"
I want to become a bird...
...and soar away high into the sky.
With hope my goal...
...as it lies so far away.
If I am able to face what...
...I see before me right now...
...I won't have to fear being hurt...
...or what tomorrow will bring!
SLAYERS TRY ENDING THEME: "DoN 'r DE D1scoVRAGEo"
My heart is pounding.
I'm excited about the unseen tomorrow.
I travel on, all so I can...
...grab hold of my shining dreams!
When you're discouraged...
...you should realise you're not alone.
You should never...
...give up on yourselfl
Even when the path you choose...
SLAVERS SERIES FINAL THEME: "SOMEWH ERE"
Somewhere in the world,
Somewhere in the dark.
I can hear the voice
that calls my name.
Might be a memory,
Might be my future.
Might be a love
waiting for me.
Rock me gently,
Hold me tenderly.
iil the morning breaks,
Night fades away.
I've spent my time in vain,
Trapped inside pain.
Don't let me down,
Help me see the light.
Feeling.
G A ME 1Nf'O
I want to fly away...
...high atop this breeze.
Towards the oceans of my dreams.
On these wings called courage.
Become a bird and hang onto...
...what I feel as I look down.
Let's not be beaten by...
...the reality of passing days.
...is a hard one to travel.. .
...lying ahead, after all...
... is the moment you seek!
Don't you forget! I am here with you!
Smiling at my love...
...and my failures with you!
I don't forget! You're here with mel
Let our clumsy love...
...be what makes us strong!
Feeling bitter,
Twisted all along.
Wading through an
Empty life too long.
I dose my eyes,
Llsten to the wind.
Longing to belong
To a higher place.
Let me hear your voice,
Let me be with you.
When the shadow
Falls down upon me.
Like a bird singing.
Like a breeze blowing.
It's calling me,
Somewhere in the world.
Somewhere in the world.
