Line 2:
The cast of characters from Hajime Kanzaka's long-running ''[[Slayers]]'' fantasy anime and light novel series.
[[Sincerity Mode|Any help in sorting these out would be greatly appreciated.]]
== Every season ==
Line 44:
* [[The Hero|The Heroine]]: [[Anti-Hero|But definitely not the traditional type]].
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Has a short one in ''NEXT'' after Gourry {{spoiler|is abducted and brainwashed}}, and then another when {{spoiler|she thinks that she's killed a little girl.}}
* [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]]: This is a girl who, in the very first anime episode, blithely starts haggling with the mayor of a village to kill a dragon (which ''she'' set loose in the first place), while that dragon ''is tearing the village apart around them''. She then '''vaporizes the village''' because the dragon deliberately stepped over her, thus proving that her newly discovered nickname was warranted.
* [[Hero with Bad Publicity]]: Lina's been arrested and tried for "being Lina Inverse". Justified due to her habit of picking fights with people over petty reasons, willingness to steal, and her habit of slinging around really destructive spells in populated areas with no thought for collateral damage.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: As much of a [[Jerkass]] as she can be, she does have a softer side.
Line 64:
* [[Tsundere]]: Partially averted by going mostly tsun-tsun, but she has dere-dere moments.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: With Gourry, which eventually evolved into [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] [[Characterization Marches On|despite the author's initial intent]].
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: The Dragon Slave is a mage's alternative.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be Slugs?]]
* [[Wouldn't Hurt a Child]]: The mere thought can send her into BSOD's, {{spoiler|as it happened in NEXT, when she's attacked by an [[Undead Child]] from Sairaag and Lina "kills" her with a knife without looking. Sylphiel has to give the panicking and screaming Lina a [[Cooldown Hug]] to calm her down, reminding her that the poor little girl was already dead.}}
Line 81:
* [[Big Eater]] *and* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: Regularly goes toe to toe with Lina when it comes to eating and is just as likely to steal food from her plate as she is to steal food from his. Ironically, while he can't stand the thought of eating fish whole the way Lina does (pointing out in disgust that eating the "guts" the way she does means also eating the grubs she used for bait), he has no problems with eating orc-meat dishes.
* [[Blue Eyes]]
* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: When they first met he thought Lina was a lost schoolgirl, so he proclaimed himself her bodyguard. The crush came later.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Happens to him at the end of season 2, but doesn't last long.
* [[Chick Magnet]]
Line 89:
* [[Genius Ditz]]: Despite how oblivious he seems, there's nothing he doesn't know about swordswinging, and he occasionally pulls moments of considerable insight -- such as revealing he knew Xellos was a Mazoku all along.
* [[Hair of Gold]]
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Moreso in the anime, though.
* [[Jossed]]: Gourry does ''not'' have elf ancestry, despite what the first movie may imply. [[Word of God]]: "The story of the first Slayers movie might suggest that Gourry's ancestor would have married the elf girl, but, when we think about it more calmly, it couldn't happen. Humans get older much faster than the elf race, so, when Rowdy in the movie became as old as Gourry is now, that elf girl was still a child. To [[Lolicon|marry a little girl]] [[Lampshade Hanging|is a crime]], isn't it? [...] So, I guess that Rowdy married a human girl after the end of that story."
** Though the [[Fridge Logic]] is that, if they wanted to marry, surely Mellyroon could have used the Spring of Aging to catch up to her human beau in age?
* [[Laser Blade]]: The Sword of Light.
* [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]
* [[Nice Guy]]: You can't get much nicer than Gourry. This guy has a big heart. He's very willing to help people if they seem to be in need. In fact he started traveling with Lina in the first place because he mistook her for (much to her chagrin) a helpless girl who needed an escort.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Whatever happened between him and Sylphiel in Sairaag.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Only in the original novel series.
* [[Out of Focus]]: Of the four main protagonists, his backstory is the least fleshed out, despite being the second one introduced and the second most prominent in the franchise next to Lina; what was thought to have been a hint at part of his ancestry was ret-conned (see [[Jossed]] above).
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: One of the longest-haired characters in the series.na.
Line 121:
** ''In Evolution-R'', it's revealed that he could have lived with it, if he hadn't discovered that he was being used as a guinea pig in Rezo's quest to cure his sight.
* [[Cute Monster Girl|Cute Monster Guy]]
* [[Celibate Hero]]: Discussed briefly a few times in the novels and in some interviews. In the novels, he mentions once the painful things that would happen to a woman if he got intimate with her, and Kanzaka himself mentions this in interviews, thusly justifying it on a physical level.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: He's the most sarcastic, flat-toned character in the series.
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: Despite having green-grey skin studded with stones, he's rather handsome.
Line 130:
* [[Icy Blue Eyes]]
** [[Purple Eyes]]: In the novels
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: Does NOT like having a rock hard body (pun intended) and constantly searches for a cure.
* [[Incest Is Relative]]: For a while, it was thought Rezo might be both Zelgadis's grandfather ''and'' great-grandfather. Fortunately, this turned out to be a translation error.
* [[Insult Backfire]]: He's been called a "Heartless Sorcerer/Mystic Swordsman" on at least a couple of occasions. He seems to like the sound of it.
Line 164:
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: She's normally a sweet girl, but if you endanger someone she cares about, ''watch out!''
* {{spoiler|[[Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu]]: In the finale of Evolution-R, she ''literally'' tries to punch out Shabranigdo and breaks her arm doing so, without hurting him in the slightest or even making him take a step back.}}
* [[The Chick]]: Sort of. While she's not the ''only'' girl in the group she fulfills its function as [[The Heart]] and [[The Face]] of the group. Being a princess it comes with the territory.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Displayed in varying degrees from media to media. She is one to an extreme when she appears in the anime (Where she thinks wearing black makes one evil and judges honesty by firing spells at them) but it visibly subsides overtime.
* [[Cute Clumsy Girl]]
Line 170:
* [[Double Take]]: When a woman resembling Naga walks by during a crowd scene in the first season.
* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]: Second Princess of Saillune/Seyruun/[[Spell My Name with an "S"|however you want to spell it]]
* [[Genki Girl]]: "Life is Wonderful!" She has far more energy than the rest.
* [[Good Hurts Evil]]: Amelia once debilitated Xellos with sheer unbridled perkiness.
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: Amelia doesn't share the same self-centered selfishness that most of her companions have, but her being sheltered and her [[Genre Blindness|black-and-white moralities]] make up for it, as she is prone to acts of bad judgment and self-righteousness. Several times, she judges people by first impression, but this varies from each medium (she gets off to a better start when meeting Zelgadis in the novels than in the anime). The biggest lampshade of this trait is in the her second episode, where the idea of Amelia learning the [[Fantastic Nuke|Dragon Slave]] spell is something both Gourry and Lina refuse to countenace, because they can see her going trigger-happy with it and blasting even the most innocuous of "villains" with it.
** Still, she's much better at being good than Lina or Zelgadis are. As the seasons go by, she becomes more likely to be "not nice" in that she's willing to go along with Lina's self-centered and/or crazy schemes without protest, such as using Zelgadis as a human anchor.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: With her dad. And even with Zel, since she's ''that'' short.
* [[I Have the High Ground]]: But she has trouble with [[Dojikko|the landings]]...
Line 180:
* [[Justice Will Prevail]]: It's practically her catchphrase, as she says it at least three times in the first episode of ''Next'' alone.
* [[The Lady's Favour]]: At the end of the third anime season, she gives one of her amulet bracelets to Zelgadis, and he's seen with it during the ending sequence.
* [[Large Ham]]: She is very into her 'justice speeches' to the embarrasement of her companions.
* [[Love Freak]]: Part of her rhetoric, besides 'justice' is love.
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]] (for Zel, somewhat)
* [[Missing Mom]]: Assassinated when she was little.
Line 187:
* [[Morality Pet]]: At the least, Zel definitely shows his softer side better around her.
* [[Nice Girl]]
* [[Politically-Active Princess]]: When not out adventuring with the rest of the gang, she often acts as Seyruun's envoy to other kingdoms.
* [[Princesses Prefer Pink]]: Her tunic has pink touches on it, and both her collar and bracelets are pink. The dress she usually wears for royal duties is a frilly pink one.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: See Zelgadis' entry above.
Line 195:
* [[Ship Tease]]: With Zelgadis.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Amelia/Ameria (the latter is canonical in Japan, but there are both Japanese fanworks and official art books that use the former)
* [[Spoiled Sweet]]: She has the funds to pay for Lina's appetite and kind enough to do so.
* [[Stepford Smiler]], coupled with [[Angst? What Angst?]]: Even through the death of her mother, the absence of her sister, and the betrayals of her uncle and cousin, Amelia holds her head high. However, the former two are still great sources of grief for her, serving as a reminder of the betrayal that shakes the Saillune royal family.
* {{spoiler|[[Took a Level In Badass]]}} {{spoiler|During the final fight in Evolution-R, she uses the Ra Tilt to amazing effect against Shabranigdo and ''punches'' the [[Big Bad]].}}
* [[Ugly Guys Hot Daughter]]: The cute, well-endowed daughter of an ogrish hulk of a man who looks like a bandit.
* [[White Magic]]: Her specialty, though she also learned a little [[Black Magic]] from her sister (and wanted to learn the Dragon Slave from Lina)
* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: Its hard to find an idealist of any measure outside her family. However, given the setting, she can subvert the 'inevitably broken' part of the trope by ''weaponizing'' her idealism. See [[Good Hurts Evil]].
* [[Woman in White]]
* [[Word of God]]: Stated that {{spoiler|Naga the Serpent is her missing older sister.}}
Line 221:
* [[Affably Evil]]: To the point where its sometimes hard to believe what he really is.
* [[Anti-Hero]] (Type V): In the anime. He is not a hero by any strech of the imagination but his goals (or rather Zelas' goals) often coincidence with Lina's.
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: With Filia.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Now that is a secret!" or "Sore wa Himitsu desu~!" [[Actor Allusion|Also later used by the same voice actor in]] [[Houshin Engi]].
Line 228:
* [[Devil in Plain Sight]]: He ''introduces himself'' as The Trickster Priest. Even when they know he's manipulating them or setting them up for a trap, he STILL succeeds in doing so.
* [[Dub Induced Plot Hole]]: One of the Golden Dragons in ''Slayers NEXT'' refers to him as "Beastmaster Xellos" in the dub. The title "Beastmaster" actually belongs to his mistress, Zelas Metallium.
* [[Enigmatic Minion]]: To the Dark Lord Zelas Metallium, one of the five lesser Dark Lords under Ruby-Eyed Shabranigdo, who is more enigmatic then her minion is in the anime -- aside from the occasional mention of her title ([[Spell My Name with an "S"|variously given]] as "Lord Beastmaster" and "Greater Beast"), her sole appearance is a brief cameo shot from behind in the epilogue of ''Slayers Try!''
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]
* [[Foe Yay]]: With Filia
Line 238:
* [[Good Hurts Evil]]: He is literally hurt whenever he's around people with overly positive emotions, such as [[Love Freak|Amelia]].
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Noble Demon]]: Never lets anyone forget that he's an evil mazoku but doesn't engage in wanton cruelty.
* [[It Amused Me]]: Sure, he has a [[Hidden Agenda Villain|hidden agenda]], but he also spends a lot of his time just screwing around with Lina and co. for the lulz.
** He doesn't have a hidden agenda at all. He's a [[Always Chaotic Evil|Mazoku]]; everything he does is for a) [[It Amused Me|his own amusement]], b) [[Omnicidal Maniac|the destruction of the universe]], or c) both.
* [[Purple Eyes]]: He is the "Mysterious Priest" after all. Also he's special in being the only General/Priest in one.
* [[Reliable Traitor]]: The heroes know they can trust him to help, so long as doing so aligns with his own interests. No one knows what those interests are, exactly, but he hasn't killed them yet, so...
* [[Ship Tease]]: With Filia, somewhat.
Line 253:
{{quote|Voiced by: [[Houko Kuwashima]] (Japanese), Tara Jayne (English)}}
A high-strung member of the Golden Dragon race, she replaces Sylphiel in ''Slayers TRY,'' acting as a guide for the party in the Golden Dragons' quest to stop Dark Star Dugradigdu. As a member of a race siding with [[God|Ciefeed]], the god of the ''Slayers'' World, she comes to blows with Xellos frequently, often for comedic relief.
-----
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: With Xellos, and how! More or less why [[Fan Nickname|XelFi]] is one of the more loved pairings in the series.
* [[Blondes Are Evil]]: Well, [[Good Is Not Nice|not evil per se]], but her attitude and naivite creates a lot of friction for everyone around her, even putting them in danger several times {{spoiler|(including the final battle, where she is reluctant to kill the [[Big Bad]])}}. This also contrasts with her innocent, [[Hair of Gold]] portrayals in the opening and closing songs.
* [[Blue Eyes]]: Less ''innocent'' than 'naive' about how the world works.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Firstly done humorously, by forcing her to travel with the rather self-centered, impulsive and irresponsible Slayers crew. Then done seriously when she is forced to confront the fact that {{spoiler|the Golden Dragons of the temple she belongs to are basically a [[Corrupt Church]], being willing to sell out an entire other world simply to ensure their world remains unscathed and having massacred an entire race of dragons to try and claim the magical weapon they believed they should be the ones to possess.}} When the poor girl learns ''that'', she's so horrified that she almost crosses the [[Despair Event Horizon]].
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: She was created exclusively for the anime's third season, [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo|TRY]], which was completely original material.
Line 264:
* [[Foe Yay]]: With Xellos
* [[Guest Star Party Member]]
* [[Holier Than Thou]]: Being a priestess from what she ''thinks'' is a [[Saintly Church]], she takes a dim view of the [[Anti-Hero]] vagabonds she has to travel with. After learning the [[Awful Truth]] she becomes more humble.
* [[Lawful Stupid]]: Reaches this at times, mostly due to her [[Holier Than Thou]] attitude. Otherwise, her alignment waivers between [[Lawful Good|Lawful]] and [[Neutral Good]].
* [[Naive Newcomer]]: Is very obvious that she hasn't had much contact with any humans in almost all of her life.
Line 272:
* [[Spot of Tea]]: Serves as a [[Running Gag]].
* [[Straight Man]]
* [[Tsundere]]: Type B. She usually is "dere-dere", only going into a crazed "tsun-tsun" fueled by her [[Holier Than Thou]] mentality when [[Affably Evil|Xellos]] is around.
* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: Due to her cloistured temple life. She gets broken a little bit but comes out mostly intact.
* [[Woman in White]]
Line 305:
=== Luke ===
[[Walking the Earth|A world-trekking bounty and treasure hunter]] with a harsh demeanor and a soft heart. He [[The Rival|antagonizes Lina]] to a degree, but ultimately becomes an integral ally for her during the second arc of the [[Light Novel|light novels]]. He originally was an assassin, but changed his ways when Milina came into his life.
{{spoiler|Like Lei Magnus and [[Affably Evil|Rezo]], Luke holds a shard of [[Big Bad|Shabranigdo]] in his soul; unlike the other two, he is, at least, partially aware of Shabranigdo's presence. When Milina is killed in the second-to-last novel, his rage reaches to an extreme that allows Shabranigdo to take over, thus setting off the final battle in the final novel. Lina and Gourry eventually defeat him due to the conflict that still lied within Luke's soul.}}
Line 318:
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
* {{spoiler|[["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: Like Rezo before him, Luke's human soul is still lingering when Shabranigdo is revived. There is more complication to this battle, but Luke is able to find peace, which proves to be the key to Luke-Shabranigdo's defeat.}}
* [[The Lancer]]: Replaces Zelgadis as this role in the novels. In the ''Hourglass of Falces'' manga, he's more [[The Big Guy]].
* [[Magic Knight]]: Wields an enchanted blade like Gourry, and is capable of casting black magic, although not to the same degree as Lina. He even has his own original spell to accomodate his sword: Ruby-Eye Blade.
Line 327:
* [[Shiny Midnight Black]]: Or stylized green, rather.
* {{spoiler|[[Tomato in the Mirror]]: Subverted, he is at least partially aware of Shabranigdo's presence within him, but doesn't try to ignore it or wholly supress him. He freely allows him to emerge when [[Tear Jerker|Milina is killed.]] In the ''Hourglass of Falces'' manga, he even tells Milina to strike him down if Shabranigdo ever emerges from him.}}
* [[Walking the Earth]]
Line 364:
* [[Bottle Fairy]]: she's the only main Slayers character who is not only a [[Big Eater]], but also a hard drinker.
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: Inverted, if she and Nama are indeed the same person.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Despite her apperance she's not a villain.
* [[Easter Egg]]: The royal crest of Saillune, seen briefly in one or two episodes, incorporates a white serpent. Also several references in the TV series to Naga, such as a woman resembling her passing by during a crowd scene in the first season, and Lina casting one of Naga's signature spells (Zelas Gort) in the second.
* [[Fainting]]: Naga faints at the sight of blood, a result of walking in on her mother's assassination... as well as the resultant bloodbath when the assassin tried to complete his mission and take out his real target, Naga herself, only for Naga to kill him with a spell of her mother's creation. That spell? [[Razor Floss|"Chaos String"]]
Line 371:
* [[Goldfish Poop Gang]]: Lina actually nicknames Naga "goldfish poop" for following her around like... yeah.
* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: The reason Naga goes around in that [[Stripperiffic]] costume all the time is that it used to belong to her mother and is her last keepsake.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]
* '''[[Noblewoman's Laugh]]''': By and away her most defining feature. '''Literally''' taken [[Up to Eleven]] when she gets 10 clones and all them start laughing.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Why Naga stopped traveling with Lina shortly before she met Gourry is never explained.
Line 379:
* [[Unknown Rival]]: Naga truly believes herself to be Lina's "strongest and greatest rival", and is quick to refer to Lina as being Naga's rival or even her sidekick. Unfortunately for her, though a legitimately talented and powerful sorceress, she's still not quite at Lina's level of power and, more importantly, is much, ''much'' flakier. While Lina can't forget about Naga, as hard as she tries, nobody else seems to have ever heard of her.
* [[Word of God]]: Originally, it was only fan-speculation as to Naga's relationship to Amelia. It was confirmed as being the truth by an interview with the author, but other than the first season walk through the two have never been shown together on screen. A disguised Naga did speak briefly with Amelia on one drama CD, but she identified herself only as a friend of Lina.
** They also interact quite a lot in Evolution-R, although no one knows that "Nama" is really Naga, and Naga has lost her memories. Gets lampshaded quite amusingly in one episode when its commented that Amelia and "Nama" "act like sisters".
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]
Line 385:
{{quote|Voiced by: [[Yumi Touma]] (Japanese), Stacia Crawford (English, ''Slayers'' and ''Slayers NEXT''); [[Stephanie Sheh]] (English, ''Slayers Revolution'')}}
A [[Proper Lady|well-mannered, gentle-natured]] shrine maiden from the city of Sairagg and the first of the party's many [[Guest Star Party Member|additional members]]; she is extremely skilled in [[White Magic]], which, unfortunately, hampers her ability in combat. She is in love with Gourry, but [[All Love Is Unrequited|he doesn't really notice at all.]]
-----
Line 399:
* [[Nice Girl]]
* [[The Ojou]]: Her father was a high-ranked priest from Sairaag. {{spoiler|Before the town was destroyed, yeah.}}
* [[Proper Lady]]: Kind and polite and well mannered; compared to the group she's a saint.
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Kinda shy. In the truly unihibited group she traveled with she looks VERY shy.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: The "girly" half, with Lina being the tomboy.
Line 417:
* [[Cute and Psycho]]: Well, more [[Cloudcuckoolander|garden-variety odd]] than [[Axe Crazy]], but still... what kind of person invents their own religion?
* [[Curse]]: Her specialty; she actually manages to cast one on Lina in an early episode (in which any pain Lina inflicts on someone is cast back at her.
* [[Determinator]]: Her most defining attribute, after her insanity and solitary worship of [[Single-Precept Religion|Zoemel Gustar]]. To get back on her feet after her kingdom is destroyed, she sells [[Vendor Trash|random trinkets]]. She takes advantage of the destruction of a kingdom to sell her religious pendants. And she ''never stops'' trying to earn money or get revenge on Lina, taking even waitressing jobs while the rest of the party is relaxing, and going all the way into another dimension with Lina to try to research how to restore her kingdom.
** [[Beyond the Impossible]]: The [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] of this is when she casts a curse on Lina using what is effectively raw willpower, since most spells draw from gods or demons and hers is pretty much made up, as she herself not only admits but ''brags'' about.
** This may also be why she hooked up with Zangulus, both of them were ''[[Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist|extremely dogged pursuers]]''.
Line 467:
{{quote|Voiced by: [[Daisuke Gori]] (Japanese), Roger Kay (English, ''Slayers''), [[Marc Thompson]] (English, ''Slayers Evolution-R'')}}
The source of evil in the ''Slayers'' world, and one of the four dark lords of the four worlds created by [[Guardian of the Multiverse|The Lord of Nightmares]]. Many millenia prior to the series proper, he was defeated and split into seven pieces by [[God|Flare Dragon Ciefeed]], and those pieces were subsquently sealed away into the bodies of seven humans, with Ciefeed's intent being that they would be purged [[We Are as Mayflies|quickly due to their short lifespans.]] Unfortunately, this was not the case, as extreme amounts of hatred can force these pieces to reawaken.
So far, three carriers of Shabranigdo have been revealed; two have been destroyed for good (Rezo and {{spoiler|Luke}}, with the latter only having been done in the novels) and one was sealed away a thousand years before the series begins (Lei Magnus). The other four carriers are unknown. Shabranigdo is also a potent source of the world's [[Black Magic]].
Line 473:
----
* [[Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance]]
* [[Bigger Bad]]: The boss of the Mazoku lords and ultimate evil but his parts are either sealed away or missing or dead, so he doesn't actually do much himself.
* [[Big Red Devil]]: In the anime and games. His two appearances in the novels are bizarrely different in appearance.
* [[Black Magic]]: Two incredibly powerful spells ([[Fantastic Nuke|the Dragon Slave]] and Ruby-Eye Blade) draw power from him.
Line 489:
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: {{spoiler|He's sealed alongside Rezo in the Hellmaster's Jar in ''Evolution-R'', and only Xellos is aware of it.}}
* [[Sealed Inside a Person Shaped Can]]: Seven "cans", even.
* [[Shapeshifter Identity Crisis]]: {{spoiler|Luke's incarnation of Shabranigdo suffers from this ''big time.'' He despises humans for killing Milina, but still loves her, and hates his fellow Mazoku for setting off the incident in the thirteenth novel. He ultimately decides to give Lina and Gourry a large portion of power and give them a fair chance of beating him, and his love for Milina ultimately allows him to die by his own power.}}
* [[Tailor-Made Prison]]: The sorcerer Lei Magnus's incarnation of Shabranigdo was sealed away (along with Lei Magnus himself) in a block of ice in the [[Grim Up North|Kaltaart Mountains]]. A game on the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] actually had both sorcerer and demon as the [[True Final Boss]].
Line 565:
----
* [[A Form You Are Comfortable With]]: Averted. Since he's sealed into a human form that really is what he looks like.
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: His human form.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Wears one in human form.
Line 571:
* [[Blue Eyes]]
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Easily pummles the two boys in the party; it isn't until Lina strikes him with the Ragna Blade that he gets hurt. He survives anyway.
* [[Cool People Rebel Against Authority]]: Strangely Justified: Because he gained something of a human conciousness when he was sealed into the body of one, a survival instinct not normally associated with the Monster race took over, thus making him no longer able to fight for the goal of [[Kill'Em All|eliminating all existance.]]
* [[Enemy Civil War]]: Had a brief scuffle with the other lords due to the trope above.
* [[Evil Redhead]]
Line 645:
* [[A God Am I]]: The Zanaffar from ''REVOLUTION''.
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: The Sword of Light.
* [[Breath Weapon]]
* [[Cannibalism Superpower]]: It acquires the knowledge of those it consumes.
Line 659:
* '''Vurumugun''' is a sorcerer who serves as a recurring villain with Zangulus throughout the first season and has a curious habit of always coming back after very clearly dying. Later revealed to be copies who serve Eris and Copy Rezo.
* '''Gioconda''' is the [[Bait and Switch Boss|Not-Big Bad]] of ''REVOLUTION''. She serves as Duclis' [[Unwitting Pawn]].
* '''Halcyform the White''' is a villain ([[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience|despite being "the White"]], much to Amelia's confusion) who seeks immortality.
* '''Mazenda''' and '''Kanzeil''' are two mid-ranking servants of Gaav. Mazenda even manages to [[Brought Down to Normal|temporarily strip Lina of her powers]].
* '''Seigram the Formless''' is a Mazoku, low-ranking but very hard to kill due to his skill at dodging every attack via teleportation. In the TV series, he is a generic minion of Gaav. In the novels, he initially serves Greater Beast but defects to Gaav to get revenge on Lina after she cuts him in half.
* '''Sherra''', Dynast's general, is an [[Expy]] of [[Gender Bender|girl form]] [[Ranma ½]] in looks, and a main antagonist in the novels before Dynast shows up. {{spoiler|Has a sword that's actually a Mazoku that turns humans into half-demons and can even make them immortal.}}
