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

What a haul!

That ship was really loaded!

Now we can get us some good grog!

Hey.

Bring some of the booze we swiped. A whole barrel!

Aye-aye, sir!

And bring the girl we kidnapped, too.

Girl?! You're a real lover-boy, Boss!

She can at least pour my drinks before we sell her off!

W-What's goin' on?!

B-Boss! What in the world...?!

T-There! Over there!

What?!

Left rudder full! Let's mow these guys down, Gourry!

Right! Leave the steering to me!

Alright! Jumbo-sized Fire Ball, coming right up!

Stay calm! Dodge it! Hard to starboard!

Aye-aye, sir!

D-Damn you!

I dunno who they are, but it's just one ship! Pen it in and sink it!

Fire!

If you think those puny balls will work on us, you're sorely mistaken!

Flare Arrow!

W-What the...?!

Gourry! Charge!

Yeah!

Alright!

W-Who the hell is behind this nonsense?!

Who the hell, huh?

It's arrogant to give your name only after you're asked,

but if you really don't know, then I'll tell you!

W-What?

Both sorceress and swordswoman,

with radiant beauty, enormous intellect,

overflowing courage, and unwavering will!

Hello?

And! And unconcealable virtue, good fortune blessed by the gods,

and, uhh... uhh...

What else was there again?

Infinite stomach and amazing nerve?

Anyway, I, Lina Inverse, am a perfect, great, beautiful, genius sorceress

with all that other stuff added in, too!

And I'm her guardian, or more like her keeper... Gourry Gabriev!

Beautiful genius sorceress? Do you know who she is?

N-No...

I dunno what you're plannin',

but you do know what attacking pirates by yourselves means, right?!

Actually, we've caused bandits to drop so much in number, you see...

Yeah, we always assumed they'd exist forever, like cockroaches...

But I guess they're like an endangered species now.

It almost looked like they were going to go extinct

when we suddenly realized that there are pirates, too!

So we've decided to lay off them for a while and lay on you instead!

- Sound good to you? - I've had enough of your crap!

Pull 'em down and feed 'em to the fish!

Sudden Blam Gush!

Leave some for me, too!

Go ahead, dealing with every single one'll be a pain!

"Amazing - The Astonishing Dragon Slave!?"

Wow! Look at them go!

Wow, incredible! Wow, brutal.

Those two haven't changed at all.

That's just like them.

Are you sure about this, Mr. Wizer?

They do appear to surpass what I've heard,

but even so, I must meet with them.

All right, then!

Maintain course! Head for the pirate ship straight ahead at full speed!

So, are you still gutsy enough to fight us?

Curse you! We're infamous pirates in our own right, you know!

We can't be beaten this easily!

Oh, sounds like you do have some spunk left in you!

W-We'll carve you up with our swords, sorceress!

Get 'er, men!

Don't worry.

Unlike her, I'm holding back a little!

My sword! My sword!

- My sword... - Forget about that cheap old thing!

- Why, you... - Boss!

I brought the girl!

Y-You fool! How can you be so carefree at a time like...

No, perfect timing! Let's take her hostage!

A-A-Actually, about her...

Oh, my!

Help me!

What the hell?

Y-You told us to kidnap the prettiest girl we could find,

and apparently she was chosen as Miss Mermaid...

Why would you kidnap something like this?!

- To sell her to an aquarium? - Or a fish market?

W-Whatever! It doesn't matter!

If you value her life, you'll back off!

Huh? A kidnapped, err, fishnapped hostage?

Do you really think that'll work on the cold, heartless Lina Inverse?!

That's not for you to say!

O-Oh no!

L-L-L-Lina Inverse?!

You know her?

She's a brutal, politely insolent, high-and-mighty lord of all notoriety!

She's Lina the Robber Killer, Chewer-Upper of Dark Lords,

and the Dragon Spooker!

W-What? You mean you're the Lina Inverse,

who was turned away from the gates of Hell itself...

...who eats and goes berserk, who is the embodiment of chaos?!

The Lina Inverse who devastated the remote Dragon Kingdom,

the Zoana Kingdom, and destroyed Sairaag two separate times?!

W-We're done for!

Why do those types of descriptions always make them remember me right away?

There's a saying in my village:

"If a storm comes, pray to God.

"If Lina Inverse comes, curse God, for there is no hope left for you!"

l-lf you only you'd said so at the start,

we would've abandoned our pride, put up no fight,

and prostrated ourselves before you!

You said pretty girl this and genius that! How could we've known?!

T-This isn't fair!

There really are no gods in this world! Oh, Mother!

Alright, then! I'll give you what you want! Line up, all of you!

Stand up! Grit your teeth!

She'll really do it. I'd apologize fast if I were you...

We surrender! No, please let us surrender!

Well, since you asked me so nicely... I'm not a demon, after all.

- Lies! - What was that?!

W-What's that?!

W-What the...?!

Open fire! Destroy every pirate ship!

After the barrage, this ship will rush to the fore!

Aye-aye, sir!

W-What's going on?!

W-What more can you put us through?!

Those are some country's actual navy ships! Why are they here?!

My ship!

You did the same thing, you know!

But it shouldn't happen to me!

That flag! Seyruun? Then...!

Attention, vile pirates! Raise your white flags at once and surrender!

Otherwise, I, Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun, as royal proxy of Seyruun,

shall bring painful judgment down upon you in the name of justice!

That voice! Amelia!

Ms. Lina! Mr. Gourry!

- It's been a while. - You too, Zel? Why are you two together?

I can explain later!

Say, are you not concerned that they're getting away?

We'll get you for this, Flatty!

F-Flatty?! Who're you calling Flatty?!

What do you mean? You're the only one he's...

- Shut up! - Flatty! Flatty! Flatty!

I'll show you flat! Dolph Zork!

Alright! That'll teach ya!

Wow! Those things sure sell for a lot!

Yeah, three silver coins per kilogram!

Still, didn't that cook seem bewildered to you?

Oh! Here they come!

Amelia! Zel! Over here!

Sorry for being so late!

We couldn't exactly bring our fleet into this country's harbor...

So we took a boat and came here by ourselves.

Honestly, now! You probably didn't know we were there,

but you came this close to blasting us, too!

S-Sorry...

- Let's not tell them we knew. - A-Agreed.

Not like that would've done us in or anything, though!

T-That's true!

Still, you seem as well as always.

Yep!

As always, we're searching high and low for a sword for Gourry.

Still having a hard time finding a sword that suits his skills, huh?

Mr. Gourry?

H-Hold on! I can remember! It's right on the tip of my tongue!

You've forgotten again?!

Not only that, didn't Lina just say our names?

Could it be that your memory is degenerating?!

I'd like to think he just didn't hear me...

- No, that's not it... - Get your act together!

Oh, honestly, Mr. Gourry. We're Amelia and Mr. Zelgadis!

Oh! Now I remember!

You're Amelia and Zelgadis!

Unbelievable...

Please pardon my lateness. I had various arrangements to tend to.

Let me think...

- John?! - Who?!

J-John?

What's going to happen to me?

W-Why'd you go and buy this thing? What do we do with it?

Not even I've chopped up ingredients that can cry and talk...

What's that? Do you have last words to say?

Make me delicious, okay?

My name is not John at all!

Oh, I'm sorry for the late introduction. This is...

Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Inspector Wizer Freion, special investigator from the Ruvinagald Kingdom.

I'm Lina.

Come to think of it, this town is in Ruvinagald territory.

It is?

So, what does a special investigator want with us?

I much prefer being called "Inspector" over "Special Investigator."

It sounds much cooler!

Okay, fine.

Yeah! That does sound a lot cooler!

So, what might an inspector want with us?

Oh, it's nothing much, really.

Lina Inverse! You're under arrest as of 1:32 pm!

- What?! - What?!

A-Arrest? What the hell are you talking about?!

Y-Yes! I was told nothing about this!

I was asked to introduce you to Ms. Lina because you had a favor to ask her, that's all!

But she is Lina Inverse, correct?

- I'm her, all right! - So you're under arrest.

Why?!

Why does being Lina Inverse mean you can arrest me?!

You have the right to remain silent and to call a lawyer...

Listen when I'm talking!

You disagree with this? Then allow me to read this arrest warrant.

"Arrest warrant for Lina Inverse, for the crime of being Lina Inverse.

- That is all." - What kind of crime is that?!

C'mon, you guys! Tell him...

What do you think? She's charged with being Lina Inverse...

- There's not much to argue about... - Sounds like a serious crime to me...

Pleading innocence is out of the question...

It'd probably be tough to plead extenuating circumstances,

so we'll have to do the "plead insanity" thing instead...

But there's been a real backlash against that lately.

What're you all whispering about?!

Oh, just how we plan to represent you as your defense team...

You're the last people I'd want defending me in court!

- Alright, let's go. - Don't act so nonchalant!

Oh? You plan to resist now? What a sore loser...

Of course I plan to! I'm gonna resist out the wazoo!

But anything else you do will only worsen the judge's view of you...

A reduced sentence will be difficult unless you show regret now!

Shut up, defense team!

If you must resist, then so be it. But do you not hear that sound?

You can't be serious!

Sorcerers, ready the defensive spells!

Archers, block the sky!

Knights and heavy infantry, prepare to charge!

What's with this huge army?!

Are you starting a war or something?

Now do you see how serious of a crime it is to be Lina Inverse?

- Oh, I see! - I guess it can't be helped...

Don't agree with him!

But don't you care?

What do you mean?

What I mean is, you'll get caught in the attack too if you're here.

Huh? But surely she'd never take on such a massive military unit!

It appears you don't fully understand just who Lina Inverse is yet.

If it's a fight you want, then it's a fight you'll get!

W-Wait! Hold...

Ms. Lina! As a member of the Seyruun royal family,

I really shouldn't fight with this country's army!

Which is more important to you? Me or Seyruun?

Enough talk!

Mega Brand!

Piece o'cake!

T-To think you'd attack the royal army!

Don't blame me for whatever happens!

D-Don't let her scare you! All groups, commence attack!

Looks like you have some spine after all!

Ms. Lina! That's a villain's line!

Lina! Pull back for now!

God didn't abandon me after all!

Huh?! You're alive, Miss Mermaid?!

I figured you'd be in fishstick form by now!

- I prefer my fish grilled! - I'm going to be eaten!

Hey, you!

Plan to escape, do you?!

This is going to turn into an international incident!

It's not my fault! They messed with me first!

Don't worry. That won't happen.

What?!

If a country were to have its army trounced by a single girl,

it'd be too embarrassed to go public with it.

Meaning?

There'll be no problem if we can escape!

I see!

I can't bother with unprofitable things like this! Let's vamoose!

It looks like that'll lead us out of town!

Yeah!

W-Wait, you!

Unfortunately, if you hope to catch Lina,

you'll have to bring this kingdom's entire magic army!

- W-What is this?! - A-A turtle?

It made it in time!

This is the Ruvinagald Kingdom's prototype magic tank, the Z Mark 1!

- Prototype tank? - That turtle-looking thing?!

It's an invincible mobile weapon

with the mobility of a tortoise, heavy armor, and incredible firepower!

The mobility of a tortoise?

- In that case, let's just run. - Yeah!

Yay!

Curses! They figured out its weakness!

Wait! You came all this way!

I already told you I don't do anything that's not profitable!

They've caught up already?!

We're surrounded on both sides now!

Fine, if that's how you want it, I'll take you on!

Fire Ball!

If only I had a better sword!

Gourry!

Too bad. My body is specially-made,

an attack of that level won't even scratch me.

- You tell 'em, Zel! - The tank's armor is thick! Go for the feet!

- Alright! - Right!

Dug Haut!

Visfan Rank!

Nice low kick!

How pitiable...

Damn you...

- Lina! - Alright! Let's finish it!

Darkness beyond twilight, crimson beyond blood that flows.

Buried in the flow of time, in thy great name...

- That spell! - Ms. Lina! Look!

...I pledge myself to darkness!

All the fools who stand in our way shall be destroyed

by the power you and I possess.

Dragon Slave!

A Dragon Slave?!

There's someone else besides Lina who'd do this?!

Who was that?!

It looks like he's already gotten away.

Hold on! Where's my big scene?! What about me?!

- I'm not really sure what to say... - Don't cry!

No! Give my big scene back!

Why did this happen?! How come?! What for?!

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

Tabidachi no saki ni wa atarashii deai At the end of my journey awaits a new encounter

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

Sou desho Isn't that right?

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

Denai kotae ima wa iranai that can't be found even after an apalling amount of agonizing

Hora, hontou wa akiramete inai But look, I haven't actually given up yet

Mada, mada ikou Let's keep on going

Owari wa shinai It's not going to end

Issho ni ikou Let's go together

Kakugo kimete ne Make sure you're ready

Hey, now! What was that puny animal?! I want my big scene back!

Guess I have no choice now but to catch it and give it a good wallop!

On the next Slayers Revolution:

"Because - You're Lina Inverse, That's Why!"

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