@@phgamer4393 It's not true, all Shabranigdo vessels are known. Part of him was sealed within Rezo's eyes. Another one was burried in forever frozen mountains by Ceiphied during their fight with Gaav and Lei Magnus-Shabranigdo and another one in Luke's body was also destroyed by Lina.
I hope that Luna never ever appears in character. I feel it'd ruin the entire joke that Lina is terrified of her sister who has better things to do than saving the world.

You are mistaken - a lot. TRY wasn't the season which introduced her. LON - at least mentioned (by Lina) as "someone greater than Shabranigdo" in mid season of first Slayers season. She appeared first time (in Lina's body) in Next.
This is my favorite season. Maybe because xellos got more time or we got to know him and his past here. Now I remember how I loved him so much back then and shipped him with filia XD
1:34 idk... Best scene, im sad ive never seen xellos true identity, backstory and powers, motivations. One of the best characters ever made, more badass then any badass characters, but way more funny then any clown at the same time.
@lelwut I mean, hes demon origin, killed dragons and thats basicly it, wouldn't say its in depth, it should have been 2-3 episodes of background for him somewhere in the series.
@@hiseggcelency he doesn't need it. His origin were explained both, by himself, by Gaav and Hellmaster. Xellos is a mazooku, general/priest in one person and his true form is a fucken cone :D

Slayers tiene el tercer opening más recordado de todos los tiempos. De las 3 temporadas de Slayers Está es la que más recuerdo y he visto toda la temporada. Sus personajes Su historia la trama interesante La relación de Rina con Gaudi
Fun Fact: This song is partially based on Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, if you compare both the acoustic guitars at the beginning and end of each song you would notice a similar pattern between the two of them.
I must admit that, while I always enjoyed the friendly chemistry between Lina and Gourry, I always expected to see Xellos in any episode of Next. Having him with more screentime in Try was what did it for me.
@@Zilkenian_Davenport no I know that lol and I know he gets more screen time I saw the first few episodes. I guess I just don’t understand your comment, like you’re saying xellos having more screen time is what did it..like, did what? Did it make you hate the show, like it? I’m just a little confused lol
Takes me back , 2003 when I first got into the slayers , it was the try series and I bought the first 3 videos and the last one , had to wait till I got the dvd box set to finish their series.
Muchas gracias. Siempre me pregunte que significaba ese tacho de basura, ahora ya lo se. Igual estan las palabras " grupe voy " que estan arriba de un tacho que eso todavia tengo la duda que significa
This opening sequence just takes me back to watching Slayers and Dragon Ball GT on the International Channel before or after airings of HEY HEY HEY Music Champ
Actually he never was and never will be "with the group". He explained this in Ep 12 or 13 of Slayers TRY, before the duel with Valgaav. If Zellas Metallium would order him to kill Lina and other, he would do it. People tend to forget that he is a damn mazooku, he doesn't have any feelings and for sure he lacks empathy. Don't Forget he had no problem in kicking Lina ass in TRY finale episodes, just as he had no problem in trying to convince Valgaav to mazooku side.
This brings me back to a time when downloading whole anime was absolutely unreasonable, but you could pool all your internet time together to download one opening...
@@DeidaraSanji Now now Both series are good and Power of Friendship ( IS ) part of FT ever since Chapter 1 , Ep 1 But it wasn't used until Natsu vs Zero's final battle Don't ( Act ) the whole series had PoF ,Plot Armor , A--pulls which is false and lies Don't think of saying Main cast don't die only a fool would think The main cast HAS to die However plenty of Support casts did die and Some of them was important (I'm not refering to deah fakeout because the author himself told the readers they shouldn't think character dead unless 100% confirmed so ) If you want names of them support characters feel free to tell me
Throughout not just the openings but random spots throughout the episodes you'll see a quick flash. If you slow it down and pause on those flashes you get funny hidden jokes. I sorta remember one hidden image was of Gourry as a mermaid in reference to a certain episode. Slayers, Slayers NEXT, and Slayers TRY has them... I don't believe the two newer seasons have the hidden images.
Megumi Hayashibara voice so damn pleasant for my ears. And seeing Xellos smilling is killing it. I love both breeze and give me a reason equally. I really enjoyed Darkstar season because Xellos and Light weapons. I still want to see 2 arc dedicating to exploit the other 2 maou and their world. Chaotic Blue & Death Fog.
