Line 52:
* [[Exclusively Evil]]: The Mazoku/Monsters.
{{quote|'''[[Big Bad|Shabranigdu]]''': The power of the Monster race flows from [...] terror, anger, sorrow, despair.}}
* [[Always Save the Girl]]: In this case it's [[Gender Flip|Always Save The ''Boy'']]. Lina uses a spell that might well destroy the world if cast incorrectly, simply because there's no other way to save Gourry. In the anime, she does so more than once.
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Quite a few, all [[Played for Laughs]]. The most prominent would be clothing, ranging from typical fantasy armors and robes, to modern-looking sun dresses and t-shirt/pants combos. Zelgadis wears a hooded sweatshirt of all things in an episode of ''Revolution''.
* [[Ancient Keeper]]: Auntie Aqua in ''Slayers Next.''
* [[And I Must Scream]]: The original fate of Daymia in the novels is... not pretty.
* [[Animated Adaptation]]: Originally a serialized set of novels.
* [[Animated Armor]]: Nama and the Dullahan, both in ''Evolution-R''.
* [[Anime Theme Song]], sung by [[Megumi Hayashibara]]. And not just one; all 14 of the anime theme songs have been sung by her.
* [[Anti-Magic]]:
Line 85:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Lina has ''lots'' of these. Particularly involving interrupting (or stealing) her meals, her appearance, her [[I Have Many Names|1,001 nicknames]], or her status as a [[Pettanko]].
** Filia herself has a Xellos-shaped berserk button. Well justified since Xellos {{spoiler|has murdered thousands of other dragons}}.
** Zelgadis has a much more subtle one and it's ''not'' played for laughs most of the time: his chimeric body. The only times he ever loses his cool is when he thinks he's found a way to be human again, then finds out he's wrong.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Amelia's normally a sweet girl, but if you endanger someone she cares about, ''watch out!''
* [[Beyond the Impossible]]: The magic of the series is theurgic magic (meaning it draws from faith in Gods or Demons). Martina uses a curse, on raw willpower, drawing from the energy of a spirit that doesn't actually exist, since ''she made it up''. Granted, it isn't nearly as impressive as ''nearly anyone's'' magic, but that she can use this at all, even for minor curses or dowsing, is, well... a bit insane.
