Original subtitles

Before me, there stand no adversaries!

Behind me, there are mountains of treasure!

I'm dignified and arrogant!

Race forward forever and ever!

Fukiareru kaze ga kami wo surinuketeku Stormy winds blow through your hair

Sono hitomi ni utsuru shinkirou And reflected in your eyes is a mirage

Hikari to yami no hazama umareta inochi You decide now is the time to face once again

Ima futatabi tachimukau toki to the life born in the rift between light and dark

Jidai wo utsutsu kagami sae hibiware kudakete Even if the very mirror reflecting the times cracks and shatters,

Sore demo ikiteru motomete yamanai ai wo sakenderu will still be alive, crying out for the love you ceaselessly seek

Tachikirenai omoi daite hito wa samayoitsuzukeru continue to wander, holding on to ideas they can't give up on

Tachihadakaru kabe miageru yori Rather than look up at the walls that stand in the way,

Uchikuzusu sube wa aru to maboroshi wo uchiharatte drive away those illusions and have faith you can knock them down

Itsu datte ima koko ga hajimari This is where it all starts, always

I'm the beautiful sorceress Lina Inverse!

That impudent Pokota! That puny animal tried to frame me!

And then there's that special investigator named "WiZer" or whatever

who keeps chasing me around trying to arrest me!

I think this is going to be one rough journey...

"Chase - The Endless Pursuit!"

My, what a quiet morning! Isn't it, Sebastian?

Whatever is the matter?

Sebastian? Sebastian?

Sebastian!

Sebastian!

Come back!

Sebastian!

Come back to me!

They're racing to see who can eat 10 lunch sets first?

Apparently the loser has to pay the winner's bill!

Just look at 'em chow down, though.

I told them to quit with these silly contests...

This is mine!

They both get so crazed when they're competing.

Honestly. Do they even understand the situation they're in?

Alright! This is the last one!

Victory is all mine!

End of the line, Lina Inverse!

Grin!

- You again, old man?! - Mr. Wizer!

That's Inspector Wizer Freion of the Ruvinagald Kingdom to you!

Give yourself up quietly like a good diabolical villain, Lina Inverse!

Who're you calling diabolical?!

L-Lina Inverse?!

The one who shoots beams from her mouth to wipe out bandits?!

The Lina Inverse who uses her head tentacles to catch and eat flies?!

O-Oh no! She'll eat our heads off if we're not careful!

Hey! What kind of brainless rumors are those?! There are better ones, you know!

Just as I'd expect from undeniable truths circulated by yours truly.

The information has already spread to every corner of the citizenry.

You're the one behind the rumors?!

You have it wrong, Mr. Wizer!

Despite how she looks, Ms. Lina is technically a genuine human being!

I already told you, I was framed!

Lina Inverse!

You're under arrest for serial petnapping!

Huh?!

- Serial... ...petnapping?

I win!

Geez! What's your problem?! Why are you doing this again?!

It's simple, really.

I, the man whose sharp wits are respected by all the wealthy ladies around here,

have arrested a diabolic criminal bent on evil.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

It's no use. Not even a dragon can break these special-alloy handcuffs.

Please calm down, Ms. Lina!

This must be another mistake, like last time!

Perhaps that Pokota has framed you with another crime.

Of course he has! Duh!

I do have proof!

It's because you're Lina Inverse!

There is no greater proof or charge in this world!

That again?!

Just because my Tom is adorable doesn't mean he had to be abducted!

Oh, what a terrible criminal!

If it meant I could have my Jessie back...

...I'd give up my entire fortune!

I'll pay all the ransom you want!

So, please! Return my Bob to me!

What do you think? That's what the victims' families are saying.

The sooner you confess, the better your image will be at the trial!

I don't know anything about any victims or trials!

Geez!

Rich people's expensive pets going missing one after the other.

That's indeed an unusual case.

I feel so bad for the owners...

"My Bob"? Gimme a break. I'm the one who should be crying!

A breakdown in negotiations, huh...

Opening the door of a criminal's twisted heart is difficult indeed...

Breakdown in negotiations?! More like, I'm not even a criminal to begin with!

Even after all this reasoning, you still don't feel for the victims!

Not even the sadness that drives them to offer such enormous rewards!

Look, it doesn't matter how much their rewards...

Money?!

In short, they'll give money to whoever catches the petnapper?!

Yes, I suppose so. But it would be impossible for you.

After all, you can't catch yourself.

Sounds interesting!

Alright!

I guess I'll just have to prove I'm not the petnapper then!

Ms. Lina?!

Prove?

That's big talk for a villain! Go ahead and try it then!

You bet I will! Just you watch!

I'm going to catch the real serial petnapper and prove my innocence!

- I think she mostly cares... ...about the money.

Lina! Before you go, there's something important!

- Come again! - This bill's all yours!

Wha?!

So basically...

some money-grubbing burglar stole rich people's expensive pets for money, right?

- A kid could theorize that much! - Really?

You needn't think.

Let's gather information for now.

Alright! The ABCs of all investigation! Let the questioning begin!

Let's go, old man!

Why, you!

You can try to disrupt the investigation with your foolish theories,

but there's no fooling me!

What?!

Dunno. Go ask somewhere else.

I don't know. Go ask somewhere else.

I said I don't know!

It's like someone's ordered them not to say anything...

Not "like."

Huh? Then...

Someone's put pressure on them, huh...

So, how about it? Surely you know something about this.

A-About what?

Someone who's threatening the townspeople, geez!

Wait, don't tell me you haven't even questioned anyone in this case?!

Of course I didn't! I don't conduct needless investigations!

After all, my hunch as a special investigator

tells me the true culprit is Lina Inverse!

You are so dead when I catch the real criminal,

you brainless investigator!

Not investigator! Inspector!

Is that the important part?!

What're those?

See?

Tracks from a missing pet?

Nah, seems pretty suspicious if you ask me.

An island...

Come to think of it, people in town said

that boats on this lake often go missing lately...

Pets that disappear around a lake. Mysterious tracks.

And a solitary island no one can get near...

Hey, you. You did investigate the lake, right?

How pointless.

Of course I didn't! After all...!

Quit acting big!

Learn, will you?

What do you suppose is on that island?

We'll find out when we get there.

Clever trick, trying to shift the investigation's focus

by pretending there's a mystery on that island.

Or have you lured me onto this lake to put to death

the skilled investigator attempting to capture Lina Inverse?!

Curse you, vile Lina Inverse!

But I won't let you win! I absolutely won't let you!

Yeah, yeah, okay, whatever.

Well, that didn't take long.

That was you?!

Not so loud. You'll scare the fish away.

We're not here to night-fish!

Oh? We're not?

You jellyfish-head...

Quit it!

I didn't do it.

Which means...

Monster!

Why is that thing in a lake?!

Something's definitely going on here!

Who knows, maybe this is the petnapper's pet.

Whatever the case, get out of our way!

Fire!

- That's far enough, Lina Inverse! - Hey! You stay out of the way, too!

How crafty, having your monster partner attack us

to pretend you're unconnected to your crime!

But, as I've said before, there's no fooling...

I told you to stay out of the way...

Ray Wing!

So heavy!

- We're goners at this rate! - E-Even so...

We have to distract it somehow!

So, Gourry!

Me?

Bye now!

M-Mr. Gourry!

Thanks, Gourry. I won't let your sacrifice be in vain.

This coming from the sacrificer?

Now, then! What sort of welcome awaits us?

There it is already.

- Lesser demons?! - What are they doing here?!

It would seem they're the petnapper's guard dogs.

Just like that monster jellyfish.

What?!

Listen, you! Evil has never flourished in this world!

Now is the time for the hammer of justice!

Alright, in that case...!

They're all yours!

W-Wait! Ms. Lina!

Stay sharp, Amelia!

Hey! Stop!

Dug Haut!

What is this place?

If my hunch is right, you'll find out soon enough.

W-What is this?!

Bingo!

Elmekia Lance!

Elmekia Lance!

And another Elmekia Lance!

Another for ya!

Well? Now do you understand the situation?

Yes. I still can't believe my eyes...

I would think not.

Even I'm...

To think that Lina Inverse

is actually an evil syndicate boss bent on world domination!

- Kathunk! - For what other reason would you ready a facility such as this,

except to take over the world?!

Well?! Do my eyes not see true?!

Knock it off and get those inept brains of your spinning for once!

I'm already spinning!

Those are...!

Just as I thought. This is an experimental chimera factory.

I'm impressed.

I thought it was rude of you to bust into someone's home like this,

but it would seem you're quite skilled.

You're welcome, Wizer. This is the real culprit.

Wizer?

Passed... out...

Why do you always pass out at times like this?!

Anyway, I've had to put up with a lot of crap, thanks to you!

All because you kidnap rich people's pets for your chimera materials!

You've figured that much out?

Of course.

Different materials make otherwise identical chimeras very different.

And these ones are easy to make into purer, stronger chimeras.

Not that I'm into that, though.

How harsh.

But I'm sure you'll like them too, once you actually see them.

They don't look it now, but they are actually people's beloved pets!

So, can you really attack them?

I left my wife and child and focused on magic research for so long!

And now the time has come to command the power of the chimera,

the perfect amalgamations I so longed for!

Go! Rover! Spot! Fido!

Fire Ball!

My dear Rover!

Flare Arrow!

Spot! Whiskers! Fido!

Not you too, Rex!

Just the fact they were rich people's pets irritated me a bit.

But there's money on the line, so I held back a little.

But I still have my trump card!

Come forth, Death Chimera!

Behold the results of my research!

The ultimate biological weapon!! The embodiment of the devil!

Big deal! Flare Arrow!

- Defense magic? - Correct!

Now, then! Destroy all that stands in your way,

Death Chimera John!

Elmekia Flame!

Mega Brand!

There's no end to them!

Flare Arrow!

It's kind of a pain when magic doesn't work!

I don't know who you are, but you were mistaken to oppose me!

Don't be silly! This is how you oppose someone!

Hiyaaah!

What is Billy doing here?!

No matter! John and Billy will finish that impudent girl with one hit!

Hey, Lina! Whatcha up to?

Gourry?

Oh, Zel and Amelia are with me too. I found 'em on the way here.

See?

I appreciate being saved, but if I'd known it'd be like this...

I would rather have perished out there instead.

We hit it off back at the lake! It's like we're on the same wavelength!

Isn't he cute close up like this? Come on, don't be so embarrassed!

Just what I'd expect from a jellyfish-head...

Hey, you! Stop!

End of the line!

I, Inspector Wizer Freion, have just witnessed your heinous acts!

Inspector? You mean a special investigator?!

Nonsense! No such person would come here!

That's right! You can't arrest me!

A marquess of the Ruvinagald Kingdom has given me her backing!

A Ruvinagald marquess?!

I see. So that explains it.

You're only embarrassing yourself.

No help will come for you now. It's all over.

Nice work.

That was one lame play you had me act in.

What do you mean?

Basically, not even a special investigator could go and expose

the evil deeds of a sorcerer with a marquess' backing,

much less arrest one.

But by having me handle it, you could investigate and arrest

without any of that fuss...

...lf it was connected to the arrest of Lina Inverse, that is.

Isn't that right, Mr. Inspector who's respected by local rich ladies?

I don't know. You tell me.

Sly old guy...

I told you, I'm not edible!

Oh good! Billy says he likes you two!

That's okay, I can do without that!

- Why do I have to deal with this damn gelatinous thing? - Well, all's well that end's well!

Sebastian! Tom! Bob! Jessie!

Owari wa shinai It's not going to end

Harewataru sora kara ochiru tooriame From the completely clear sky comes a brief shower

Nagarete yuku kumo ni oitsukenakutte I'm unable to keep up with the flowing clouds

Demo nagasareteru you de ochitsukanakutte But I can't stay calm and relax; I feel like I'm being swept away

Sore demo kono shunkan ni subete ga owaru wake ja nai Even so, it's not as if everything is going to end this very instant

Akireru hodo nayaminuite Right now I don't need any answers

Okay, Pokota!

Do you know how much trouble you've put me through?!

Come on, Zel! Amelia! Help me catch him, will ya?!

On the next Slayers Revolution:

"Drifter - Who's Chasing Whom?!"

If you don't watch, I'll go berserk!
