Gourry could be the most deadly swordsman/mage on the planet, as he demonstrated while under Phibrizzo's influence, who unleashed his magic potential. He took on the entire team solo and almost bodied them all. Lina and Gourry would be unstoppable, but fortunately for the rest of the Demon Lords who are still alive (and for us) he's a "dumb blonde" and forgets stuff easily.
@@droopy_eyes I agree with all you said. Here is the thing, if you're under 25, you don't know what it is unless someone told you. THATS what I was getting at, as to most people I talk to now a days who like anime have no idea wtf Slayers is.
@@dalair In other words, it deserves to be acknowledged as a classic generation after generation, but is instead highly forgotten by all but the diehard fans.
Sometimes I hear a little bit of Gourry coming from Kaiba and James and I wonder what it would be like for him to speak this line with their personalities.
Technically speaking, swords of light are a thing in Celtic Myth. So it would be more accurate to say that Lightsabers are the SciFi version of a mythical weapon.
This moment always makes me wish I hadn't already known about the Sword of Light (my introduction to Slayers was Try) so I could've experienced this reveal as it was meant to be.
@@crono276 Brock's an easy one though, because both him and Gourry have the same voice. That said though, I never noticed that both Brock and Gourry have the same voice until one day when I introduced a friend to Slayers, and he immediately pointed it out.
Hi! I´m Spanish, and love Slayers. I speak a bit of English, but I can´t understand that said Gourry when he "switch on" ( xDD ) his sword. What he said, can yo tell me?
nope, in dungeons and dragons there's such a thing as a Brilliant Energy weapon enchant, which is basically what this is... its a sword, with the blade made of energy.. granted this particular version is slightly stronger than your average brilliant energy weapon ;-)
True that he once gave up this sword to be returned to overworld and then he became much more useless afterwards but; Spoiler alert: Actually in the manga during the Arc that they figh against demon lord King Dynas Grausherra he gets a sword even more powerful than the sword of light called: Blast Sword. That one is also known as the sword of Ceifeed the dragon god, who was the arch enemy of Shabranigdo. It is even more powerful than the sword of light, because it can actually hurt Shabranigdo.
He's only worthless without that sword because the ridiculously powerful enemies they're often fighting against are literally immune to ordinary blades. If they were fighting humans, or even just ordinary beasts, Gourry wouldn't need the Sword of Light.
@@PersiaAhmad I assume that happens in the novels as well, which is something I look forward to since they're getting a re-release that will hopefully this time see them fully localized. Seeing as Gourry's my favorite character, I'd love to see him acquire an even more powerful weapon.
To be honest, this is legit one of the most bad ass moments in anime, and intro to a characters power. Highly underrated, and very underrated series.

@Droopy Eyes they mean it's underrated on our side of the pond
When your fighter party member reveals he took the ancestral weapon feat.
"Luuuuoight come foarth!!"
You can tell the voice actor was waiting for that moment through the episodes.
Sometimes I hear a little bit of Gourry coming from Kaiba and James and I wonder what it would be like for him to speak this line with their personalities.
@@KaoticKitsune as well as Brock from Pokemon.
@@KaoticKitsune Now we need Kaiba summoning his Blue Eyes White Dragon, but instead of yelling, "White Lightning," he yells, "Light come forth."
Gourry's crowning moment of awesome.
Slayers had such an amazing score
Best scene in all of the first season ^_^ Love that. "RAHHH! LIGHT COME FORTH!"
One of my favorite moments in all of Slayers.
Gourry A Jedi Knight :P
One of my favorite scenes from this season
Gourry sounds so mean in this, I'm scared of him now
one of the darkstar weapons
MISSION COMPLETE!
Then Gourry carves him for parts.
Still one of my favorite anime and best fantasy anime ever
Until this moment, Lina didnt know that her partner is a Jedi.
My favorite scene of the whole series
1:04 - 1:10
Elapsed turnaround time from buffon to badass = 6 seconds flat.
A fantasy version of the Lightsaber
There are other types of light weapons too ;)
but.. i think they couldnt melt blast doors :/
Francesco Brosolo that's goronova, one of the seven dark star weapons
Technically speaking, swords of light are a thing in Celtic Myth. So it would be more accurate to say that Lightsabers are the SciFi version of a mythical weapon.
Even the sfx XD
Grown up meliodas using a lightsaber that can spam getsuga tensou is pretty dope
And after this he kinda never use the regular one ever again.
This moment always makes me wish I hadn't already known about the Sword of Light (my introduction to Slayers was Try) so I could've experienced this reveal as it was meant to be.
I first watched this before Try was localized (back in 1999) and I saw this on vhs. It was definitely an epic moment of for me
1:08 BY POWER OF GREYSKULL... I HAVE THE POWAAAAAA
@DarkUltima that's backround music I think same music play when Lina casts Dragon Slave
Why does he sound like a cheery seto kaiba💀
Jackass to Badass, elapsed turnaround time, 60 seconds.
Narutards: i shall Change OF region
This episode is Episode 7 of Slayers :P
I swear I just keep on repeating this video because every time I hear "HE'S NUTS!" I can't stop laughing.
most epic scene of my life
@chaosnova5 And almost immediately, Lina starts drooling over the sword, wanting it so bad that she even offers to BUY it from him. :D
after 10 years of searching..i found it
Would anybody believe that's the same guy who plays Seto Kaiba in Yu-Gi-Oh?
Not true
@@mouhssinepolar Eric Stuart who plays Kaiba also plays Gourry.
Also Brock
@@crono276 Brock's an easy one though, because both him and Gourry have the same voice.
That said though, I never noticed that both Brock and Gourry have the same voice until one day when I introduced a friend to Slayers, and he immediately pointed it out.
@@deathbykonami5487 the real ones knew.
I first watched this 24 years ago while Pokémon was starting to really take off
"Hah, and this wasn't even my strongest form!"
"Wait, what!? What's the strongest form!?"
*_Watch Slayers NEXT episode 23_*
My boy used full counter before meliodas did
He says "Light Come Forth" Meaning, "Light Come Out"
Witch episode is when Lina whips gourry in a funny sexy outfit and says call me master
@SkyKingAzure Truer words have never been spoken.
Hi! I´m Spanish, and love Slayers. I speak a bit of English, but I can´t understand that said Gourry when he "switch on" ( xDD ) his sword. What he said, can yo tell me?
"light, come forth!"
SLAYER SLAYERS
well they admitted the Blast sword might have been Greater than sword of light actording to kanzaka
Starting a Reddit for the the show... www.reddit.com/r/TheSlayersAnime/
Whats the name of the song when Gourry walks up to the monster?
Gourry sounds like Brock from Pokemon lol
Eric Stuart
*laughs* Well said. I love it too.
Ain't yo dead?
@@ДанилаЛимонов-ж3е Somehow, still here.
The fucking voice acting XD
Can i keep it?!
"Luz, salir/aparecer" I think
It's pretty neat and awesome. But Is it not considered copying Star Wars?
Eh, Gundam was getting away with that for almost two decades at that point. :)
nope, in dungeons and dragons there's such a thing as a Brilliant Energy weapon enchant, which is basically what this is... its a sword, with the blade made of energy.. granted this particular version is slightly stronger than your average brilliant energy weapon ;-)
What Jaune Arc could have been if RT hadn't chosen to make him such an extreme noob at the start of the RWBY series.
he is getting there, more confident at least
Juane isn't nearly as dumb or as desperately (girl) thirsty as Gourry.
Disney might get mad now...
I think George Lucas is going to sue somebody
HA-HA!!
HIKARI O!!
It will never beat the HIKARI WOOOOOOOO!
The voice of Reena sounds pretty cool.... BUT ITS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE ABSOLUTLY GODDESSSSS LIKE THE VENEZUELAN DUB!!!!!!
Wtf Kaiba
Toram sword🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
Too bad Gourry is completly worthless without that sword.
No he's a peefect swordman without his sword of light he has prove it many time in the episode after that
True that he once gave up this sword to be returned to overworld and then he became much more useless afterwards but;
