Original subtitles

Even when twilight arrives and the darkness swallows all,

may the ever-twinkling stars in my heart burn like the morning sun!

Even if there is an astonishing amount of anger seething

where their unyielding eyes are focused,

people will always be able to stand up, again and again,

using the lives they were given to their fullest

The hot flames burning in the palms of my hands

are a strength that everyone has deep down inside them

If instead of wavering about the distant future

you break down the realities in front of you now one by one

they'll change into ordinary sand

We can't be worried about appearances

Let's break in through the front gate

Front breaking

Ugh! We're looking for the Hellmaster's Jar with Nama as our guide!

And as you'd expect, it's a crazy journey where heads come off,

kids get born, and tsunamis hit us!

When are we ever going to find the Hellmaster's Jar?!

"Raider! Voice from the Darkness!"

Talk about your heavy-duty traps!

That didn't turn out well at all!

You dimwit!

Wh-What was that for?!

Don't give me your "What was that for?!"

Every time you lead us to this supposed jar, we almost wind up dead!

I really thought I was gonna die just now!

Really? We do?

- Glare... - Huh? Everyone?

Sheesh...

Not even we can keep surviving all of this...

Even so, Ms. Nama is still our only clue about the Hellmaster's Jar.

Yes. Perhaps we've gone about this the wrong way.

The wrong way?

Only Nama knows where the Hellmaster's Jar is.

But she's lost her memories of her past.

So there's no telling where we'll wind up if we let her blindly lead us.

Meaning?

We start by making Nama remember!

Making me?! Huh?!

Get back here! Stop running away!

- Help! - Give yourself up quietly!

Mono Bolt!

Flare Arrow!

What are you doing?!

Everyone knows shock treatment's a tried-and-true way to restore memory!

I've never heard that before!

There's a first time for everything! Digger Bolt!

You don't know when to give up! Digger Bolt 2!

Digger Bolt 3!

Yikes...

- She's as excessive as ever... - Yes...

You gave her the idea because you knew that'd happen, didn't you?

I had no choice. Without any progress, we'd be in danger, too.

Arc Brass.

Regained any memories at all?

She's merciless...

H-How is she?

- Poor thing... - It was your fault!

Did she finally get worn out?

Butt... Butt... Butter...

She's saying something...

Butt! Butt! Butt! Butt! Butter!

Butter! Butter! Butter!

- H-Hey! - U-Umm...

- You overdid it, Ms. Lina! - I, uhh...

No!

Please stop looking at people with pity like that!

- She's back. - She's tough.

Never mind that! I just remembered something!

Huh?!

A butterfly! There was a butterfly!

Butterfly?

I was chasing a butterfly! And then, when I followed it I found a jar!

What?! You're sure?!

Yes! I remember it clearly!

A butterfly?

A butterfly, huh?

That said, we don't know what kind it was or where it was from...

Yeah...

Look! That's the butterfly right over there!

- That's! - Wait, Mr. Butterfly!

Is this for real?

Wait, Mr. Butterfly!

Oh, brother...

A girl in a suit of armor chasing a butterfly in a big field of flowers!

Isn't that just romantic?!

Are you sure you don't mean surreal?

Whatever, but do you think she was the type to chase butterflies

even before she turned into a suit of armor?

Good question...

But it's a very rare butterfly! It's called a Tiger Striped Swallowtail!

Tiger Striped Swallowtail? That somehow sounds familiar...

So when I chased after the butterfly like this, I reached some large ruins!

Ruins?!

But even if we chase this butterfly,

there's no guarantee we'll reach the same place.

No, it's in butterflies' nature to go up and down the same path.

Then, if we keep following it...

...we'll reach the jar!

Wait, Mr. Butterfly!

Mr. Butterfly!

Is it really in a place like this? Ugh...

Mr. Butterfly!

Mr. Butterfly! Mr...!

What is this?

This is it! I've been here before!

It really exists...

I can't believe something like this is here...

Let's just hope this is finally it...

Thank you, Mr. Tiger Striped Swallowtail!

Now to see if we really get a face-to-face with the Hellmaster's Jar...

Lighting!

It goes pretty far inside...

Yes, yes! This is it! I recognize this passageway!

Really, Ms. Nama?

No doubt about it! I've been here before!

- Are you really, really sure? - I'm really, really sure!

I can prove it! If you go straight down this corridor...

Yeah?

...you'll find traps like that everywhere, so be careful!

You should say that stuff beforehand!

- A metal washtub? - Sheesh. I'm not so sure about this place.

Do you really think the Hellmaster's Jar is here?

Dunno. Your guess is as good as mine...

Footprints...

It looks like someone was here recently...

Was it Ms. Nama?

Most likely. Nama knew about the traps here. Which means...

...there's a good chance this is the place.

Whoa!

- This is... ...a catacomb.

Yeah, probably.

Ruins like this are almost always graves for rulers and stuff.

I guess that means these are the vassals' graves...

Is the Hellmaster's Jar hidden here?

Why a boring place like this?

Good question. We'll just have to ask Rezo, I guess.

Why did Mr. Rezo make the Hellmaster's Jar anyway?

Simple. He must've thought he could gain sight

by transferring his spirit into something.

But it didn't work.

That's because Rezo's seal was placed on his spirit and not his body.

What do you mean?

Long ago, a god fought a Dark Lord, and the Dark Lord was sealed away.

Its spirit was sealed inside several people, so as to transmigrate with them...

One of those pieces dwelled inside Red Priest Rezo.

And, unable to see because of the seal, Rezo began his nefarious schemes.

H-Hold on! That can't be true!

Rezo was celebrated as a legendary sage!

He was the only one who tried to save Taforashia!

H-Hold on! Rezo was the only one who tried to save Taforashia!

Sorry, but we're telling the truth.

Then are you saying I'm not?!

Wh-What?!

Rezo conducted all kinds of experiments to try to heal his eyes.

This was one of them.

For his purposes, my body was fused with a brau demon and rock golem...

Whatever the circumstances,

can you really trust someone who would do this?

B-But Rezo saved Taforashia!

In my eyes, that's the truth!

Now, now!

People's good and bad sides might not be that clear-cut!

Zel, you used to follow Rezo because you trusted him too.

That's...

A just heart that helps others, and an evil heart that holds the Dark Lord...

It's possible that they were both part of Rezo's true nature!

Though there are some people who only have a heart of evil...

That's true!

Yes!

- You can say that again. - Yeah.

Looks like this might be it.

Well? Is this the place?

Maybe, I think...

It seems like it, but...

Urgh! You're no help at all!

Pokota!

Wait, Pokota!

I'm gonna prove to you that Rezo's really a good guy!

A stone coffin?

Is that?!

This is the jar Rezo's spirit resides in?

So sorry!

Red Priest Rezo's spirit does not reside inside that jar.

You! Xellos!

Hold on, Xellos! What are you doing here?!

Xellos! You!

Oh, it's good to see you all again!

What do you mean Rezo's spirit isn't inside it?!

Oh? Have you forgotten?

This jar transferred your friend's soul

from her original body into that suit of armor.

Huh?! You mean Nama?!

Hmm? Nama? Y-Yes, let's just leave it at that.

Hold on, now!

If you're here, then the jar with Rezo's spirit must be, too!

You Mazokus came here to get it, right?

No, it isn't quite like that...

What do you mean?! What are you Mazokus plotting?!

What's going on?!

Actually, that's exactly it.

My job is to investigate what's going on.

The one thing I can say is that depending on what happens,

things could get very bad for the Mazokus too.

What do you mean?

That's a secret.

Urgh! I expected that, but it still ticks me off!

Then where is Rezo's jar?!

Is it not here?!

I don't know. Where could it be?

Lina!

Gourry!

- Mr. Gourry! - Wh-What the?!

Wh-What was that?!

Watch yourselves! There's something here!

- Xellos! Did you...?! - No, no, it wasn't me.

No! It's over there!

- Gourry?! - Stay sharp! This is!

You were able to sense my presence. Very impressive.

- That voice! - It can't be!

Zuuma?!

Damn! What's he doing here?!

I've been expecting you, Mr. Zuuma.

I see you're still intent on taking my life.

But can you, with those arms?!

Don't let him escape!

I'm pretty sure those weren't easy wounds to recover from...

That said, he must have something up his sleeve to come after us like this...

Hey!

What?! Can't it wait?!

Who's he? A friend of yours?

Hell, no!

His name's Zuuma, and he's an assassin bent on killing me!

An... assassin?

Ass... ass... in?

Eek! An assassin!

- Wha?! - Assassin! - What's wrong, Ms. Nama?!

Assassin!

I'll make you pay!

N-Now you've done it! You can't escape me! Freeze Arrow!

- Freeze Arrow! Freeze Arrow! - What the?! Calm down!

Oh? Does she have ants in her pants or something?

Hold on, Nama! Knock that off!

Freeze Arrow!

- It's no use. - Van Rail!

Guumu Eon!

- Now I'm really mad! - H-Hey! Knock it off!

Gu Lu Douger!

- That spell! - Oh?

This is...

- A summoning spell?! - A dragon?!

Come, Dimos Dragon!

Dimos Dragon?!

What's that? Does it taste good?

You don't eat it!

Hey! This is no place to summon something like that!

This won't do at all.

The Hellmaster's Jar!

Never fear. As I mentioned before, this was used by your Ms. Nama.

Huh? Then what happens to...?!

Huh? Huh? I'm!

Ms. Nama!

Nama!

- Nama! - Ms. Nama!

Nama!

Hey, you! What just happened?!

What do you mean?

The spirit in that armor has simply returned to its original body.

Then Ms. Nama is safe and sound back in her own body?!

Probably.

Though that depends on where her body is and what condition it's in...

Are you saying a boar or something might be nibbling away at her?

More importantly...

Mr. Zuuma, I have business with the Hellmaster's Jar you people have.

- What?! - He has a Hellmaster's Jar?!

Is Rezo's spirit in it?!

I knew you would eventually appear if I kept an eye on Ms. Lina,

but you certainly took your time...

I have no business with you.

Oh, what a cold thing to say.

But even if you don't have business with me, I have business with you...

My business is with...

Come to Vezendi.

Or else someone will die.

What do you mean, someone will die?!

Vezendi.

Wait! Where's Vezendi?!

Lighting!

Xellos! What's going on here?!

I don't know.

Perhaps he withdrew because he wasn't expecting Ms. Nama or me?

He did at least say his greetings, at any rate.

That was some greeting...

- Gourry! - I'll cast a healing spell right away!

Well, I should be going, too.

Let's meet again!

Xellos! Wait!

Sheesh...

Lina...

He said to go to Vezendi...

Then we have to go! If the Hellmaster's Jar is in his hands!

I have faith in you, Rezo!

By the way, what happened to her?

Ms. Nama!

It's all right! Knowing her, she wouldn't kick the bucket that easily!

That's true!

"Ehime Tangerines"

What can save this grieving heart?

I've driven myself into a corner

and am steeped in my own broken tears

I know how not to give up

I believe in the path I've chosen

Even so, what if I come across pain that won't go away?

I want to be strong always,

so that I can take in your sadness

Even the meaning of my continued life has been called into question

I have no answer at all to give

I'm simply going to walk forward with my head up

All right, then! I will go to Vezendi!

Though, just as expected, the going won't be easy!

Can't we ever get a break?!

On the next Slayers Evolution-R:

"Seek! Who's Being Targeted?!"

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