Ruby Eye Shabranigdu
From KanzakaDex
Ruby Eye Shabranigdu (Japanese: 赤眼の魔王 シャブラニグドゥ Red-Eyed Ma-ou (Ruby Eye) Shabranigdu, lit. Rubī Ai Shaburanigudu) is one of the four ma-ou and the ma-ou in the Slayers series. His Japanese voice actor is 郷里大輔 Daisuke Gori, and his English voice actor is Roger Kay.
Many, many years ago, so long ago that no one knows just how long ago it was (presumably at the world's genesis), Ruby Eye and the shinzoku of his world, Flare Dragon Ceifeed, began a massive battle for control of the world. As a mazoku, Ruby Eye's goal was to completely destroy the world, while Flare Dragon wanted to protect it from destruction. The length of this battle is unknown, but the conclusion was reached approximately around 4000 BK. Before his destruction at the hands of Ruby Eye, Flare Dragon created four alter-egos of himself, then broke Ruby Eye into seven parts and scattered them throughout the world, sealed in humans. Flare Dragon's reasoning for sealing Ruby Eye in humans was that since humans have such short lives compared to those of other races, Ruby Eye would eventually be purged through reincarnation before re-awakening. Unfortunately for Flare Dragon, this hypothesis was more or less incorrect.
So far, only three pieces of Ruby Eye have been awakened; two of those have been destroyed and one has been sealed away into ice by Aqualord Ragradia.

[edit] Pieces of Ruby Eye
[edit] Demon King of the North
Around 993 AK, Dils II, the king of Dils, attempted an attack on the Demon King of the North. However, the king's soldiers were destroyed, and the king was cursed with Raugnut Rushavna.
The Demon King of the North is the fragment of Ruby Eye who appears as Subordinate-S in the afterwords of the Slayers novels.
You can fight Lei Magnus-Shabranigdu in the Slayers (SFC) game.
[edit] Rezo-Shabranigdu
The second piece awakened recently in Red Priest Rezo, a great sorcerer and priest. Rezo was blind, and nothing he or anyone else tried could cure his blindness, even though he was able to cure the blindness of others. Eventually, Ruby Eye began having more and more influence over Rezo's soul, forcing the sorcerer to seek out the Philosopher's Stone, which would give Ruby Eye the strength to be fully reborn. He succeeded (Rezo swallowed the stone), but was shortly thereafter defeated by Lina Inverse using Giga Slave and the Sword of Light.
Rezo-Shabranigdu is the only fragment of Ruby Eye to appear in the Slayers anime.
[edit] Luke-Shabranigdu
The third piece awakened even more recently in Luke, a treasure hunter, former assassin, sorcerer, and swordsman. Luke joined forces with Lina Inverse before the piece of Ruby Eye within him awakened. When Ruby Eye took over, he was destroyed by Lina, who broke open her Demon's Blood Talismans to unleash the power of the other three ma-ō.
[edit] Subordinates of Ruby Eye
Because he is dormant in the souls of humans, Ruby Eye has his five subordinates rule over the lesser mazoku in his place. During the Kōma War, all of them except for Chaos Dragon Garv formed a diamond-shaped barrier around the headquarters of Aqualord, preventing him from escaping. Even after Aqualord's defeat, this barrier remained, preventing humans and other beings from leaving the area. However, when Hellmaster Fibrizo was destroyed, the barrier was broken, and travel to the outside world was made possible.
