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

We've gone through a lot of craziness

because of the Hellmaster's Jar that Rezo is sealed inside.

Even after I got my hands on it we didn't figure out anything important.

And now Zel and Pokota are acting insane!

Why is everyone so mental?!

"Xeno The Price of Revival!"

Get back here, you animal prince!

Dang it! Quit following me!

I must ensure Master Rezo's safety.

Whatever, then!

Yeesh...

Pokota just had to jump the gun...

I finally caught up!

Where is he?

We lost him around here last time, too.

This mist... There's no question about it. Taforashia is nearby.

Guess we have no choice.

Let's wait for the mist around here to clear before we look.

Can we really be so carefree?!

Mr. Pokota could revive Rezo at any time!

It'll be fine!

Call it a hunch,

but knowing Rezo, he'll find some reason to try to stall.

Yes, when I took off with the jar, Rezo seemed to waver

between wanting to be revived and wanting to be destroyed.

That sounds kind of like Ozzel.

Yes. Ms. Ozzel would try to break the jar while also saying she wanted to protect it...

Do you suppose there's some connection?

It bugs me. There's definitely something else about that jar...

The barrier disappeared...

I need to revive Rezo and unseal everyone before Lina and the others come!

I gotta hurry to the temple!

It's no use.

What?!

The people's seal cannot be lifted when there is no moonlight.

What are you talking about?!

I cast the spell to work that way.

The people will not wake from their sleep unless the ceremony is held

as the moon travels across the heavens before the sun rises.

- Then, even if I hurry now... ...It will be of no use.

So my only choice is to wait until night...

Mr. Pokota.

Is something wrong? Why do you look so sad?

I brought the jar back to Taforashia,

but when I think about using my body to revive Rezo...

You're having doubts?

There's no need to be uncertain if it's the right thing to do, right?

It's not that easy for a person to make that call!

A doll like you wouldn't understand!

A doll...

I have to do it...

I'm this kingdom's prince!

I couldn't save the people suffering from the Durum Plague,

despite being the prince!

That's why I want to do something now!

A smile-filled Taforashia in which the people can live happily again...

That's more important to me than anything else!

That's why you would sacrifice your own body?

Yeah. I need to revive Rezo so he can unseal everyone.

Plus...

...I want to meet Rezo again.

Is he nothing but a villain, like Zelgadis and the others say?

Or is he the Rezo I believed in?

I place your spirit in here...

Wait, until the day I break the seal and restore this kingdom.

I've come all this way trusting those words.

That's why I want to meet him! I want to meet him and see for myself!

Meeting... Master Rezo...

Huh? Was the temple this way, again?

No, it's to the right.

No, the left.

We've been here before?

There are so many of us, so why can't anyone remember the way?!

It isn't our fault. Mr. Pokota led the way last time.

Besides, who would've known we'd be coming back here?

I had an inkling we would.

Let's just hope Rezo hasn't been revived yet.

If he suddenly changed his mind and decided to do what Pokota wants...

Oh, my. You appear to be rather distressed.

You finally show yourself, carefree Mazoku!

You're gonna tell us about the Hellmaster's Jar today, once and for all!

I'm sorry. Unfortunately it's a secret, as you might guess.

- I should've known. - Yeah, I pretty much expected that.

But, as I do feel bad for keeping everything veiled in secrecy,

I'll at least tell you where the temple is.

Yes, yes! That's it! I remember now!

Yes, the people of Taforashia were sealed in those catacombs.

Mr. Pokota's body is sleeping there too...

All right!

What's the deal?! It won't budge at all!

That's only natural.

This is the most sacred location in Taforashia.

It isn't meant for outsiders to enter that easily.

You coulda said so sooner...

Come to think of it, last time the doors opened one after the other for Mr. Pokota...

- Then do we blow it open with magic? - You can't!

The spirits of many thousands of people are resting here.

Doing something dangerous like that would cause real trouble!

Then what should we do?!

V-Very well...

It's opening!

That's the Mazokus' jack-of-all-trades for you!

You should've opened it at the very start!

This is as far as I help you. You're on your own from here on out.

Hold it!

Yes?

I doubt you'll tell us anyway, but what is it you're up to, Xellos?!

As I said before, that's a secret.

You want the jar, but you also told us where the temple is...

What's your game?!

Hmm...

Well, we do go a long way back.

And I suppose you could say I'm doing this for my entertainment.

Well, then...

He never changes...

He never reveals anything important...

But now I'm certain of it!

Huh?

There's more to that jar than just Rezo.

He's having us follow the jar to act as insurance in case something happens.

I see.

- Anyway, let's hurry! - Right!

I will revive him...

People choose their actions while controlling

complex emotions like happiness, sadness, hatred, and greed.

Emotions?

However, there also exists in this world a separate concept of good and evil.

Acting based on your emotions can be good, but it can also be evil.

I don't really understand. To me, following your orders is good...

...and all else is bad.

If only things were that clear-cut for people, life would be a little easier.

Ozzel, sometimes I lose my sense of what it is to be a person.

Master Rezo?

I'm sorry. I've confused you somewhat.

I will try thinking about people too, if it will be of use to you...

If it will bring me even a little closer to you...

Thank you, Ozzel.

My emotions are...

- It goes straight down from here, right? - Yeah...

Good thing there's only one way to go!

We'd get so lost if the path split!

Wait...

Huh? The path splits up!

How come? There was only one path the last time we were here...

I didn't realize it because Pokota was with us,

but I think this building was originally a labyrinth...

Yes. It is a sacred place and all...

So, which way is it?

- Wh-What's that?! - I have a bad feeling about this...

Wh-Wh-What do we do?!

- We have no choice! Burst...! - Amelia! No magic!

Just run!

I really wish you could've come with me, Duclis...

Wait.

You were silent this whole time, so now what?!

Don't tell me you still don't wanna be revived after coming all this way!

I am having doubts myself.

I would be lying if I said I didn't want to be revived. But...

But what?

I cannot guarantee that my revival will lift the seal on Taforashia.

Will you continue anyway?

If that turns out to be the case, your body will have been sacrificed for naught.

I don't care! I'm the prince of Taforashia! I'll take my chances!

Geez! What is this place?!

Now I can finally... finally... save everyone...

Ozzel, the jar.

What's wrong? Don't you want to revive Rezo?!

- I'm not sure. - Now you say that?!

Rezo just said he wants to be revived too!

Please, Ozzel! I have to save Taforashia! I'm begging you!

I'm begging you! I'm begging you!

Ozzel!

In that case...

...I have no choice but to stop you.

Xellos!

So, may I have the Hellmaster's Jar?

Why do you keep going after this jar?!

You Mazokus don't need Rezo anymore, right?!

Sorry. Unfortunately, I can't answer that question.

My superiors wouldn't like that!

Then that's even more reason not to give it to you!

How distressing.

I don't want to have to get tough, but you leave me no choice.

What the heck's going on?!

That was but a simple threat. Now, then...

Hold it!

- You guys! - Oh, my.

Looks like we made it in time!

Pokota! Hand over the jar!

No! Why is everyone getting in my way?!

Are you that against reviving Rezo?!

Are you just gonna abandon Taforashia again?!

That's not it!

This is just my gut feeling, but there's definitely more to that jar!

We can't revive him until we know what it is!

You trying to scare me?

No, I'm not!

And if you let your body be a vessel, you'll be stuck as a puny animal forever!

Is that fine with you?!

Yes, it's fine with me! Of course it's fine!

I already accepted that a long time ago!

No! The risk is too great!

Shut up! This time I am going to save this kingdom and everyone!

Elmekia Lance!

Hey! I'm not finished talking yet!

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

Burst Flare!

Come, light!

Whoa! Hey! Calm down! Hey! Pokota!

I have no choice! Dil Brand!

So, what is it you want to do?

I have a pretty good idea why Rezo has ordered you

to both protect and break the jar.

As well as what will happen when Rezo is revived.

Personally speaking, either way is fine with me.

If he's revived, it will also allow me to confirm my theory.

And it doesn't matter to me whose body Rezo is transferred to.

I will value your will.

My... will...

Master Rezo...

People have emotions, which they follow and act upon.

People's anger...

I'm this kingdom's prince!

Resolve...

I want to meet Rezo again!

My emotions...

I'm sorry, Master Rezo. I want to see you again.

Even if it means committing the evil of going against your orders...

Come on... Why can't you see things my way?!

All I want is to save the kingdom!

I know you do! But!

I can't stand being useless anymore!

Mr. Pokota!

Please revive Master Rezo!

Ozzel! Why are you...?!

I want to... listen to my emotions.

All this time, I've thought about what it is to be a person.

I tried to find the answer by mimicking people.

It may look like a mere act on the outside,

but I want to be true to my feelings the same way you are.

Ozzel...

I'm sorry for calling you a doll...

Thank you, Ozzel!

It has been a long time, Ozzel.

Yes...

I'm sorry for making you suffer for so long.

That's not true...

I never once felt that I was suffering.

While protecting the jar,

I think I came to understand the "emotions" you spoke of.

Have I come any closer to being a person?

Yes...

- Ozzel! - What?!

You did well, Ozzel...

It has been a long time... Lina Inverse.

Red Priest Rezo...

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

Red Priest Rezo has come back to life at great cost.

What do those closed eyes seek? What do they say?

On the next Slayers Evolution-R:

"Yesterday's Memory Days Regained."

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