Ah yes, the mosy Dandy vampire the world has ever seen... after 5 years of missing from the game, he's still as handsome as ever, he's still as classy as ever, and he's still the most Dandy gentleman out there! (Plus, Sharon is still as great as ever) Also, can we talk about the fact that his theme - "Ups and Downs" is a certified jazzy banger? It's certainly fitting for a character like Slayer!

I want to see fanart of Zato pulling up to Venom's bakery just to buy bread for bread-battle-recognition-training Venom: "Lord Zato! Welcome ba-" Zaro: "ALL OF YOUR BREAD, I'M BUYING ALL OF IT"
Slayer's interactions was very inspirational, i personally been wondering about what my purpose in life is.having lost my mom and constantly battling depression i feel like all my joy has been stripped away from me. But hearing Slayer speak along with Nago and Zato has really inspired me to keep moving forward and strive to leave my mark on life.
I can relate, though in a different character I found my motivation. From league of legends, it is Illaoi. A priestess of a god of change and motion, a lot of what she says and preaches entails going forward without looking back. I spent so many years stuck in my parents basement trying to get lost in video games and only now am I starting to appreciate life in my twenties. Especially as a person who is afraid of death and worried of time lost, it’s nice to leave that stuff behind and just focus on bettering yourself.
I've been through a similar road. Know that depression is not a flaw in logic, but a flaw in perspective. Try new things, seek new experiences, and your perspective can change.
@lfcmmf2205 Wait, so did Slayer masquerade as Nobunaga then? Because that would be hilariously fitting given his eccentricities. And dare I say it, dandyism.
i’m sorry the thumbnail had me imagining: “hey babe, check out MY slayer, heh!” “look honey, i love you. but you are, quite literally, too old for this...”
I like that Zato’s passion reignites when it comes to proving himself to Slayer. Goes to show that whatever history these two have clearly means as much to Zato as Millia. Also triple Dandyism snap goes overtly hard
Makes me feel even more bad for Venom, in retrospect. He’s the only (former) major Guild member who doesn’t elicit an emotional response in Zato, the man he loves and respects so much. Here’s hoping Venom is able to enjoy his new life outside of Zato’s influence.
he constantly hitting on the girls here "shall we dance?" "do you need an escort?", and him and sharon live forever. Wouldn't surprise me if they have an open thing goin on. 🧐
Omg... I absolutely love how everything is coming full circle. Something as seemingly inconsequential as a FINGER snap, is actually a signature of Assassin's Guild Dandiyism, or just being under Slayer's tutelage. If I can properly recall, did Venom have a finger snap taunt of victory pose in the XX or Xrd series too? I know Millia didn't, cause it seems the Dandy thing is a boys club lol. This is still so dope. That final pose with all 3 was the visual I never knew I needed. I was never a Slayer player, but strive just created a fan. Loved him from a lore perspective, but this just fleshed some things out for me.
If you didn’t realize, Slayer is voiced by JB Blanc, who also voices Kuben Blisk from Titanfall/Apex, Kano from Mortal Kombat, and Saxton Hale from TF2
Every time I lay eyes on Slayer, and hear his theme song, I can feel my freedom crying out. I am dandy as myself, and I also like seeing life in other people and other characters and things. I’m fuckin’ happy.
when slayer gets hit by bone crushing excitement he just goes "Sharon you seeing this shit? that man over there just hit me with a wheelchair, isn't that funny?"
