Though twilight may come,
and darkness may attempt to swallow all that is,
oh starlight
that shines forever in my heart,
flare up now like the morning sun!
Yurugi no nai sono hitomi
Even if the place
Misueteiru saki de
where you direct your unwavering gaze
Akireru hodono ikidoori uzumaiteitemo
is swirling with an incredible rage
Nando datte nando demo
A person can rise up,
Hito ha tachi agareru
again and again,
Iki ataerareta inochi
using the life given to them
Tokoton tsukatte
to the fullest.
Tenohira de moeru atsui honoo ha
The flame dancing in the palm of my hand,
Kokoro no oku no oku de
is a power that everyone
Dare mo ga motteru chikara
holds deep inside their heart.
Tooi mirai heno mayoi yori mo
Rather than fretting about the dilemmas of the distant future,
Ima me no mae ni aru genjitsu
if I crash through the reality in front of me,
Hitotsu hitotsu kudaita nara
little by little,
Tada no suna ni kawaru
it'll all turn into plain sand.
Nari furi kamacchya irarenai
I don't care what it looks like.
Shoumen toppa de ikou
I'll take it head on!
The topsy-turvy us have been chasing around the Hellmaster's Jar in which Rezo is sealed!
And when I had finally obtained the Jar!
The important things really do always end in misunderstandings.
Finally Pokota and Zel ended up like this!
Ah honestly, these guys!
Xeno, the master of resurrection!
Hey, wait a minute, you animal prince!
Don't follow me, dammit!
It's for Master Rezo's safety.
Fine, do as you like!
Jeez!
That Pokota is so impatient.
I finally caught up!
Where is he?
We lost sight of him here before.
This fog...there's no mistake. We're definitely near Taforashia.
There's no helping it.
We might as well just search around here until this ends.
Can we afford to take it easy like that?!
Pokota may resurrect Rezo any minute!
It's fine!
Well, this is just a hunch but when it comes to Rezo, I think he'll make up any excuse to buy time.
For sure...
When I took the jar, it seemed like Rezo was wavering between wanting to be resurrected and wanting to be destroyed.
Somehow that's like Ozel...
That's true...
While protecting the Jar, Miss Ozel did try to destroy it.
I wonder if there's any connection?
It's tricky, isn't it...
There's gotta be something more to that jar!
The barrier disappeared.
Before everyone comes, I've got to resurrect Rezo and release the seal on the people of Taforashia!
Got to hurry to the temple!
It's futile.
What?!
In a place without moonlight, I cannot break the seal on the people.
What do you mean?
I cast the magic in that way.
If you do not perform the ceremony while the moon is in the heavens and the sun has not yet risen,
the people will never awake from their sleep.
So, even if I hurry now...
It's futile.
I guess I have no choice but to wait for nightfall.
Mister Pokota...
What's wrong?
You look depressed.
I came with the Jar to Taforashia, but now when I think about resurrecting Rezo using my body...
Are you hesitating?
If it is the right thing to do, then there should be no need to hesitate, correct?
Humans can't separate things so clearly!
A doll like you can't understand!
Doll...
I have to do it.
I am the Prince of this country!
The people suffering from Durum sickness...
Even though I am the prince, I couldn't save them.
That's why this time, I want to do something!
For a Taforashia where people can live happily and smile freely, just like in the past.
There's nothing more important to me.
That's why you'll use your own body as a sacrifice?
Yeah.
If I don't resurrect Rezo, I can't remove the seal on the people.
And also...
I want to see Rezo.
To find out the truth - if he is a just a villain like Zelgadis and the others said,
or if he is the Rezo I believe in.
Your soul goes in here.
You will wait until the day that I release the seal and this country will be revived.
I believed those words and was able to survive to this day.
So, I want to see him!
See him, and find out who he really is!
To see... Master Rezo...
Huh? Wasn't the temple this way?
That's wrong, it's to the right.
No, it's left.
Didn't we come here before?
Even though we have this many people, you're telling me no one remembered where it is?!
It can't be helped.
Last time we had Mister Pokota to guide us.
Well I didn't think we'd ever come here again, so...
I just looked around a bit.
It'd be great if Rezo hasn't been resurrected yet, but if she's listened to that stubborn Pokota...
Well well, looks like you're a bit lost?
So you've appeared, you "easy going" Mazoku?
Today's the day I'll have you spill the beans about the Hellmaster's Jar!
I'm so sorry, but unfortunately that really is a secret.
Of course.
Well, I saw that coming.
But, because I feel sorry for keeping so many secrets from you, I'll at least tell you where the temple is.
Right, right, it's this way! I remember!
So, the people of Taforashia are sealed in that underground cemetery.
Mister Pokota's body is also sleeping there, right?
What's this!?
It isn't moving at all!
Well of course.
This is Taforashia's most sacred space.
It isn't a place where outsiders can enter so easily.
You should have said that in the first place.
Speaking of that, last time Mister Pokota opened the doors for us one after another.
Then let's break through with magic.
That's no good.
There are many thousands and tens of thousands of souls sleeping in there.
If you do such a violent thing, it'll be a serious problem!
So, what should we do?
Well then.
Oh, it opened!
That's the Mazoku race's jack-of-all-trades for you!
In that case, why didn't you open it to begin with!
This is all I'll help you with.
Proceed further on your own.
Hey, wait a minute.
Yes?
You're not going to tell us anyway, but exactly what is your motive here, Xellos?
Like I said, that's a secret.
What do you mean by telling us about the temple when you are aiming to get the Jar for yourself?
Well...
We have had a long association with each other, so if I had to give a reason, it would be "because it's interesting", I think.
Goodbye.
Just the same as ever.
He never tells us the important part.
But, with that I'm now sure.
There's something else to that jar than just Rezo.
In that case, in addition to the Jar I'm going to get some insurance.
I see.
In any case, let's hurry!
I will make him resurrect, for sure!
Humans decide their own course of action while controlling complicated emotions like joy, sadness, jealousy, and desire.
Emotions?
But, aside from that, this world has the concepts of "good" and "evil".
Acting on one's emotions could be called "good" in some cases, and "evil" in others.
I don't understand.
To me, obeying your orders is "good", and everything else is "evil".
If you divide humans in that way, it would be probably be easier.
Ozel, sometimes I don't know what those things called "humans" are anymore.
Master Rezo?
I apologize.
I seem to have confused you.
I will try pondering about humans.
If it is useful to you...
If by doing that I can become closer to you...
Thank you, Ozel.
My feelings....
This tunnel keeps descending deeper, doesn't it?
Yeah.
I'm glad there's only one tunnel.
This way we won't get confused on which way to go if it splits.
It split.
How come?
When we came here before, there was only one tunnel!
Because Pokota was with us, we may not have noticed.
Or maybe this building was originally a maze.
Maybe you're right.
This is a holy place after all.
Well, which one is it?
What was that?
I have a bad feeling about this...
W-w-what do we do?!
In that case,
Burst-
Amelia! Don't use magic!
Let's just get out of here!
Duclis, it was you I wanted to come here with.
Wait.
What now?!
You've been quiet all this time.
You're not going to say you don't feel like getting resurrected after coming all the way here, are you?
I am wavering.
I'd be lying if I said I don't want to be resurrected.
But...
But what?
But once I am resurrected, I cannot guarantee you that I will be able to break the seal on the people of Taforashia.
Is that alright with you?
If that happens, you will have lost your body in vain.
I don't care!
I am the prince of Taforashia!
I'll bet on that chance!
Jeez! Just what is this place?!
With this I will finally be able to save everybody.
Ozel, bring the Jar.
What's wrong? Don't you want to resurrect Rezo?
I do not know.
Why are you saying this now?
Rezo said just a minute ago that he wanted to be resurrected!
Please Ozel!
I want to save Taforashia no matter what!
Please!
Ozel!
Well then, I have no choice but to stop you.
Xellos!
So, will you please give me the Hellmaster's Jar?
Why are you always, always after the Jar?
You Mazoku should have no need for Rezo anymore!
I'm sorry.
I'm afraid I can't answer that question.
My boss will get mad at me.
Even more reason why I can't give it to you!
This is troubling.
I would like to avoid resorting to violent means, but...
it seems I have no choice.
Just what is going on?
That was just a little threat.
Now...
Hold it right there!
You guys!
My, my.
Looks like we still made it in time.
Pokota, hand over the Jar.
No!
Why are you guys trying to get in my way?!
Do you hate the idea of Rezo's resurrection that much?
Would you abandon Taforashia again?!
It's not like that!
This is just my intuition, but there's something strange about that jar.
Until we understand what it is, you must not resurrect Rezo!
Are you trying to scare me with that?
It's not about that, I'm telling you!
And, if you make your body into a vessel for him, you'll spend the rest of your life as an animal! You can never go back!
Is that alright with you?!
Yeah, it's fine!
Of course it's fine!
I prepared myself for that a long time ago!
No!
The risk is too great.
Shut up!
This time, I'll save the country...
I'll save the people!
Elmekia Lance!
Hey!
We're not done talking yet!
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
Burst Flare!
Light, come forth!
Hey, calm down!
Hey, Pokota!
It can't be helped.
Dill Brand!
So what do you want to do?
I have a good guess as to why you were ordered to both protect and destroy the Jar.
And also of what would happen if Rezo is resurrected.
Personally speaking, I really don't care either way.
If he is resurrected, I can confirm my prediction.
I don't care whose body Rezo empties.
I will respect your wishes.
My intentions...
Master Rezo.
Humans have emotions, and choose a course of action by following them.
Human anger...
I'm the prince of Taforashia!
Resolve...
I want to see Rezo!
My emotions...
I am sorry, Master Rezo.
I want to see you once more.
Even if that is the "evil" of disobeying your orders.
Hey...
Why don't you understand?
I just want to save my country!
I know that!
But...
I don't want to sit around and do nothing anymore!
Mister Pokota!
Please resurrect Master Rezo!
Ozel, why?
I want to follow my feelings.
I have always wondered what humans are.
By copying humans, I tried to find an answer.
You may see it as only pretending, but I also want to be honest with my feelings like you are.
Ozel...
I'm sorry for calling you a doll.
Thanks, Ozel.
It's been a while, Ozel.
Yes.
I am sorry for making you suffer for so long.
Not at all.
I never once thought it was painful.
While I protected the Jar, I felt like I began to understand the feelings you spoke of.
Did I become closer to being human?
Yes.
Ozel!
Why!?
Well done, Ozel.
It's been a while, Lina Inverse.
Red Priest Rezo.
Kanashimi ni kureru kokoro wo
There's nothing that can save a heart

There's no answer to that.

I just lift up my head and walk on.
In exchange for a great price, the resurrected Red Priest Rezo!
Those closed eyes - what is he aiming for, and what will he say?!
Next time, on Slayers EVOLUTION-R!
