I wonder if Gourry's sword has any other modes, like some sort of Swiss Army knife - corkscrew, can opener, screwdriver, and legendary Sword of Light all included.

Goury: The idiot Jedi. I can dig it.

That mage monster sure didn't last long for all his badassness.

And lol Lina. Quit trying to steal all the cool stuff. You have a dragon nuke, be happy with it.


I go where I wanna go, even if its into Oppai.

"Hidden"? It is a very popular TV series, adapting an even more popular light novels series (who even received a US publication) and featuring Hayashibara as the main voice at her career's peak. It got all the fanfare of well-known brands: a few years on TV including a whole original series (not based on books), annual movies and several OAVs, plus a revival show in the 2000s. The novels even got an exposition hall for the anniversary in 2016or17.
It sold also well among anime consumers here, during the sub-only VHS era.


(We even got late (approx.2005+) TV broadcasts of it on children hours in France.)

Lina... Dragon Slave would’ve worked, but that’s a bit overkill, isn’t it?

As soon as Gourry pulled a hilt without a blade, I knew. I’m already a little familiar with the Sword of Light thanks to the movies. That’s really interesting! Now I know exactly who Gourry is. “A family treasure”, he says. Haha, I guess it would be.

@Rei366: I know it was very popular in its time, but I don’t think Slayers is that well known these days. Cellar’s reaction isn’t that unusual.

Zolf and Rodimus didn't seem like bad guys to begin with, so it's cool to have them on board.

Also nice to see Gourry kicking some ass.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

That abandoned town was a perfect battleground.

Zolf might be third rate by Lina's standard but he's friggin brutal!

Lightsaber! ^_^ Sorry couldn't help it but pulling out the Sword of Light was just that badass.
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

Why not just give them the stone 😒 or am I missing something. Thought all the priest dude wants to do is get his eyesight back .

Zolf and the other dude never looked like villains to me, so their loyalty to Zel wasn't surprising. The sword of light was though, Gourry is stronger than one would think.

Okay Gourry's sword is amazing. Who knew? I hope it goes into everyone's backstory.

I didn't expect those guys to be loyal to Zelgadis.

I'm glad that Zolf is on their side. But why doesn't Lina get the stone out of the statue and fight them with it?
