Slayers Next - Ragna Blade

[AlucardFlamewing]

Just so you know, this isn't the "perfected" version. It wasn't perfected until Lina learned the true power of the Lord of Nightmares, which she draws the power for the Ragna Blade from. This is just when she was able to control it a bit better than the first time she used it.

[Daniielgott]

XD linaaaa



[PneumonicPlay]

I think this has always been my favorite spell. It might be less practical than a fireball, but if there was a zombie apocalypse, this is the spell I'd pick.

[AshED65]

The english dub of Slayers was a good dub and to all you people who are butt hurt that its not in Japanese don't watch this video its really that simple.

[Sadet1991]

I think when they made this spell and called it Ragna Blade based off of the mythical weapon Ragnarok

[ZarineBashire]

I actually prefer watching the English version of this anime. I like the English voice actress over Megumi Hayashibara, it has more character.

[Izlude77714]

@ZarineBashire more character than megumi...? do you even know who she is? rofl

megumi is absolutely perfect for this type of character which is why she was chosen

[calipdis2]

I could make a better voice and im a dude :)

[thany3]

why is it in fucking English? you barbarian!

[ReimuHakureiShrine]

This is awesome

[evilphil]

"DIE, CREATURE OF DARKNESS!"

[hoangthong2409]

my fav DoTA's cahrater :)

[roclee11]

Ragna the Bloodedge

[AbrasiveGalaxy]

The interesting thing is that, despite being the most powerful sorceress ever, possessing the three most powerful spells ever cast, having defeated the Dark Lord Shabranigdo twice, saving the WORLD multiple times, AND having been possessed by the Lord of Nightmares, Lina is STILL terrified of her older sister.

[FD87]

@AbrasiveGalaxy That's coz her sister uses the ragna blade to spread butter on toast.... Lina may be powerful but her sister Luna is EPICLY more powerful

[RolliMyster]

^.^ ahhh, slayers... Got to love Lina. The show never gets old. Always funny, always epic. man! i can't believe that more people don't watch this stuff! it is the best!

[KngofPirates]

God, I am so sick of hearing everyone say that it's Laguna Blade. THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY FREAKING SENSE!!!!!!

The TRUE correct name is Ragna blade. GET USED TO IT.

[Manveru31]

Fake, It is not the perfect ragna blade, the perfet one is at the end of Slayers Next

[Taihime]

Lina Inverse! Dragon Slayer, Bandit Killer, Vessel to the Lord of Nightmares, Mother of All Things and Ultimate Badass!

[GuardofLiberty]

I recognize that sound...it's the same sound that's used when Super Saiyans have their auras in the DBZ anime lol.

[GuardofLiberty]

@GuardofLiberty And specifically the electricity of a Super Saiyan 2. :P

[lisi03822]

@GuardofLiberty yeeeees!!! =D amen for that ;) it's the same sound ;) but not only this one I saw this anime and almost all the sounds are form DBZ =D

[QuizGuru]

@lyswoj

Guess what? No one cares what you think. You're just another troll.

[TinyTitian]

@QuizGuru right and this spell kicks ass in enlish only thing better is the engrish version of unlimted blade works

[ReimuHakureiShrine]

@QuizGuru i now love you

[ManowarHeigou]

@lyswoj Lol you watch the japanese version of a old style adventure film as though itll have more depth either way. Also the voice actors for the english version are superior in this case.

[Infantcide]

@ManowarHeigou I quite agree. Lina's voice especially surpasses any english voice actors I've ever heard in anime. It's one in a million.

[dragoness333]

Fragment If The Lord of Nightmares

Be freed Now From the Heavens Bonds,

OH BLADE OF THE FRIGGED VOID!

Merge With my Power, merge With My Body,

And together we shall walk a Path Of destruction

AND SMASH EVEN THE SOULS OF GODS

[Guanchen]

Lina - The reason why demons are extinct.

[AlexanderDraconis]

Nice. Thanks for posting. (Also, you're right, it's fine in English. Actually Japanese often use English words and draw from other cultures when writing. I wouldn't be surprised if they were going for Ragna and simply did the letter flip like we do.)

[NightwishaL]

I love the english voice of Lina. I like the way she says the spells...

[SolBuster]

LOL@ the DBZ sound effects.

[afqwcx]

@SolBuster Yeah that's the energy aura sound lol

[Guanchen]

i dont remember this episode. Who was the Mazu?

[Mirathda]

It was episode 13 and the mazoku was Kanzeil.

[ashez2ashes]

"power that can smash even the souls of the gods" is such an awesome line.

[Minzerr]

It technically has the power of the gods, and the monsters....watch Slayers Try

[OmegaChimera]

So, she defeated a creature of darkness by using a sword of darkness? Hmmm...Sounds theoretically impossible...but it looked awesome so who am I to complain! XD

[Detoyato]

Its a bit like the the saying "Fight Fire with Fire"

[KillerCheebo]

ragna blade wasnt perfected till claire read the real claire bible before she fought gaav. the one used vs kanzel is the imperfect version

she used the perfected version against seigram and gaav.

[Snaaaaap]

What is the track for this BGM called? Anyone know?

[ashez2ashes]

Its called "heroic action needed" and its on the Slayers Ectcetera vol.1 soundtrack.

[getthefuckaoutmyway]

lol xD that technique sounds exactly the same as a super saiyan 2 aura

[ThinBear4]

Somethimes I think japan anime producers use the same sound bank :D

[QuizGuru]

Dude... Laguna = Ragna it's the same thing, it's not even really a translation its the same pronunciation use two different character sets.

The Japanese characters are "ra-gu-na" in Hiragana. Raguna... the Romanji, or english alphabet, spelling could have been Raguna as spelled there, but it is ALSO possible to drop the "u" sounds in such cases as "gu".

That's how "Laguna" can be written as "Ragna" and that's what they did here, there's NOTHING wrong with it.

[saiyanprince989]

damn man you are smart. Japanese can be so hard. thanks for the explanation.

[chopinandliszt]

It has to be Ragna, I think, because it's an allusion to the "Ragnarok" in Viking mythology, the final destiny of the gods.

[bokrin]

@chopinandliszt or it would be the fact that japanese can't spell L so they said "raguna braduuu" in japanese who knows :D but ragnarok version sounds more plausable

[Mordaedil]

@QuizGuru Indeed, in addition, Ragna Blade is a play on the word Ragnarok.

[NovaBurst]

@QuizGuru i see... interesting

[M4ktor]

omfg its so ridiculous in english...

[TwilightDemon87]

OMG go be a weeaboo elsewhere.

[ginestramarcos]

This is isn't the perfected Ragna Blade - She perfects it when she touche the Claire Bible, later. In the perfected version, she realizes that the spell is the Lord Of Nightmares herself, so she starts by "Lord of the dreams that terrify, sword of cold and darkness" and the sword looks better defined.

[moonstarmac]

very true...and the complete Ragna Blade is very close to being just as powerful as a full Giga Slave, granted it doesn't have the chance of destroying the world, thus making it much safer.

[AyuThePenguin]

If you don't like it, then just get the DVDs and watch the Japanese version on those.
