[Info] Just trying to collect some references
There's a lot of floaty bits of info on Mazoku, which drives me nuts. Someday I'll... try to figure out how it all relates to Xellos. This is just a post for me to dump all the info I might wanna incorporate or whatever. Someday I'll do a headcanon post...
Info from this page
Mazoku reproduction???
(*) Is the number of Mazoku only decrease by being destroyed?
(Kanzaka) Mazoku's energy source is misma, and it creates low-class Mazoku when it gets power to some degree. So, Mazoku breed though it's slow.
(T) Then, is it possible that Xelloss suddenly become two people like cell division? *laugh*
(Kanzaka) I don't want to imagine, but it may be. *laugh* But, well, not to divide power into two, but to tear a small piece off and make weak guy.
-----
Mazoku and pain, power levels
(T) "Does Mazoku feel the pain when he is kicked?"
(Kanzaka) I don't know whether it's appropriate to call it as pain, but Mazoku would sense "I was damaged" and it would be "pain" in human's language.
(T) "Is Mazoku exhausted, if he keeps releasing the miasma, which is the source of his power?"
(Kanzaka) Yes, he will be exhausted.
(T) "The source of Mazoku's power is negative feeling of living things. Then, is the source of Shinzoku's power positive feeling?
And, if so, Shinzoku will recover by 'Life is wonderful' attack?"
(Kanzaka) Of course, they will recover. *laugh*
So, people worship Gods in places.
(T) "Is 'the contract for eternal life' to Mazoku's benefit?"
(Kanzaka) Mazoku eats negative feeling, so Mazoku hopes to spread negative feeling in the world.
And, the person, who wants to contact for eternal life, is usually bad person, so......
(Kanzaka) Well..... *laugh*
I remember, then, to extend such person's life is not Mazoku's benefit directly, but is the benefit indirectly.
(T) Maybe, it has partly repetition to that question, but,
"When 5 subordinate lords, generals, and priest were created?"
(Kanzaka) Most was created after Kouma-war.
(Note by Tokitama: Kouma-war = the war between 1/7 Shabranigdo and Aqua Dragon Lord. Thanks.)
But, only Dynast created one general and one priest after Kouma-war.
(I) It means 4 in all, right?
(Kanzaka) Yeah. Only Dynast has 4 subordinates.
(I) Then, they are weaker as there're many?
(Kanzaka) Yeah. *laugh*
(T) By simple calculation, Sherra is 1/4 stronger than Xelloss.....
(I) Then, Sherra can't deal with Xelloss at all?
(Kanzaka) Yes.
-----
random Valgaav info
(T) Well, next question is.....oh, Valgarv isn't in Mr.Kanzaka's category. But, well, anyway.
"Valgarv is an Ancient Dragon, so he was born from an egg. Though, why does he have the navel?"
(Kanzaka) That's an organ looks a navel.....no, no, wait a moment.
.....well, Valgarv's main body is in form of Dragon, and that's just the form when he transform into human's form. So, it's no problem that he has a navel in transforming.
and Gaav...
(T) Continue questions about Slayers.
"I heard Gaav wears sailor blouse and skirt is by Mr.Kanzaka's request. How did you feel?"
Well, I think it wasn't Mr.Kanzaka's request.
(Kanzaka) Yes, it wasn't my request. When I went to see after-recording of TV anime, staff are talking about strange eye-catch, and I heard some ideas. And, I said "Oh, by the way, I have received a postcard of popularity vote with the illust of Gaav wears sailor blouse and skirt." And, everyone burst into laughter, and Ms.Miyata, the directer of charactor design, said "It's what I'm looking for!" and suddenly began to take a note. I said "Aren't you really going to do it?", and Ms.Miyata answered "Of course, I'll do!" *laugh*
(T) In short, it's by Ms.Miyata's taste, right?
(Kanzaka) Yeah.
-----
Xellos's name
(T) "Was English spell of Xelloss: 'Xelloss' recognized officially official?"
(Kanzaka) Hmm, somehow.
(T) .....somehow.....
dammit Kanzaka....
-----
(T) "Is Dragon a distant relation of Ceiphied?"
(Kanzaka) No.
(T) "Is Katart Mountains the North Pole.....?"
(Kanzaka) No, it isn't.
(T) "There aren't Subordinate Lords in Katart Mountains, then who did make Mazoku in Katart?"
(Kanzaka) Surely, there aren't Subordinate Lords in Katart now, but it doesn't mean they haven't been there.
(T) And, Katart Mountains wasn't Mazoku's residence before.
-----
(T) "The joke of Milgazia really can damage Mazoku? *laugh* If so, I want him to fight against Xelloss. *laugh*"
(Kanzaka) But, it has the opposite effect, if the opponent is Mazoku who likes bad puns.
(T) Sometimes, there's the man likes bad puns.
(Kanzaka) It's unwelcome situation if Mazoku laugh at Milgazia's gag. *laugh*
-----
Spirit magic and reproduction again
(T) Go to the next question. "Does Xelloss have any hobbies?"
(Kanzaka) I think, yes. To collect negative feeling, or glib tongue to deceive people, or the like. Well, it's half in profit and half in hobby, though.
(T) "Gourry seems not to cautious about Xelloss enough, although Xelloss is Mazoku. How in the world Gourry think Xelloss?"
(Kanzaka) He doesn't care too much, because Lina don't care.
(T) "Xelloss said he is not good at water and ice magic. Is it true? If it's true, why? And, what magic is he good at?"
[memo by Tokitama: It's said when Gylia City burst into flames, and Lina asked Xelloss to extinguish the fire. But, in fact, Xelloss set fire on purpose. So, he said that in order to refuse.]
(Kanzaka) Well.....I don't remember it.
(T) Assume it's said, and continue.
(Kanzaka) Anyway, Mazoku originally don't prefer to use spirit magic which use the power of spirit. In that way, he is not good at it.
(B) It means Mazoku don't dislike, but hard to use?
(Kanzaka) Mazoku don't want to use it.
(T) "In vol.15, Xelloss went away with a parting shot, just because Gourry took the words out of Xelloss' mouth. But, in vol.6, Xelloss was calm when Ameria took the words out of Xelloss' mouth. They are similar situations, but why is Xelloss' response different so much?"
(Kanzaka) Xelloss maybe affected by Lina and her company. At first, he went with Lina and her company as operations. But, in vol.15, he really took part for fun. So, at that point, he was probably enjoying it.
(T) "What class of Mazoku can create another Mazoku?"
(Kanzaka) Well.....
(H) Sherra could create Doolgofa, huh? Can middle class of pure Mazoku create subordinate?
(Kanzaka) No, all pure Mazoku can do, I think. Lower-class Mazoku can also do it, but it reduces his power and he may become weaker than lower class. So, lower-class Mazoku doesn't do it.
(H) Then, they can make mini-dora. *laugh*
(T) Zelami & Xellaemons.
(Kanzaka) And, when the master's power is not enough, the subordinate's form is distorted.
-----
Dynast Gausherra
(T) "Did Dynast create Sherra in order to find the fragment of Ruby Eye? And, in past interview (first part of TRPG replay 6), you said Sherra was created after Kouma war. But, I'd like to know a concrete date of it."
First, let's start with the purpose.
(Kanzaka) Well, it's because of kinda silly reason that more subordinates would be better than fewer subordinates.....
(H) It's a fool.
(Kanzaka) Probably, Dynast is most foolish of 5.
(B) Idiot....*laugh* Then, his naming sense is simple.
(T) Then, next question; when?
(Kanzaka) Probably, after things return to normal, so in less than half year after Kouma war. And, till then, Dynast has neither general nor priest, and both 2 of Hellmaster's subordinates was dead. So, "What should we do?" "Then, I should create many." or like this, Dynast made many subordinates by the reason like "easygoing father", I think.
[memo by Tokitama: "easygoing father" (Nonki-na Tousan) is the title of a four-frame cartoon.]
(T) "Easygoing father", oh I know it.
(Kanzaka) In the helmet of Grawsherrar is easygoing father's face.....*laugh*
-----
Mazoku awakening from human seals.
(T) "When Mazoku sealed in human's heart wake up, what will happen to the human's body?"
(Kanzaka) First, it exists as Dark Load with physical body. And when the body gets damage and broken, the space is filled by para-body made by Mazoku. And, at last, it becomes Mazoku without physical body, I think.
(T) "Why Rei=Magnas and Gaav woke up as Mazoku?"
(Kanzaka) Well, to tell the truth, Ruby Eye in Rei=Magnas woke up by almost same reason with Luke. And, Gaav woke up.....probably, because Fibrizo said "Get up ♥"
(H) What? Then, Rei=Magnus also had his girlfriend?
(Kanzaka) Well, I don't know whether it's his girlfriend or company, anyway, the person was treated cruelly, if anything by human, in the war Fibrizo produced. And, "Argh damn, that's disgusting! Then now, I will become Dark Load!" uh, something like that.
(H) All are like Devil Man.
[memo by Tokitama: "Devil Man" is the name of an old manga series and it's leading character.]
The rest is about Slayers underwear...
-----
(T) "Why did 5 dark lords assign their subordinates to priest or general? Is there different in the role or ability between priests and generals?"
(Kanzaka) Nothing special. Well, probably just by the interest of first Ruby Eye.

And now from this page
Some notes on Mazoku and magic
(Author) Oh, I remember now.
I thought I should explain about magic, in relation to Mazoku.
(L) Surely. It's no problem just to interpret as "unknown wonderful power", but the explanation isn't enough to understand systematically.
Two of questions often asked are "Why doesn't Mazoku, who has bigger magic-power than Lina, use Drag Slave and other strong magics?" and "Why isn't there magic by God's power, though there's magic by Mazoku's power?"
(Author) About the reason Mazoku doesn't use Drag Slave. Like it was explained a little by Fibrizo's words in vol.8 of main series: "The Lord of the Ghost-City", because to borrow other Mazoku's power denies the power and the existence of himself.
It's in the same rule, though the opponent to borrow power is in higher class.
It's not problem to use some Spirit Magic to pretend as a human like Xelloss did (though he got some damage even in the case), but if Mazoku uses Black Magic, the magic borrows Mazoku's power.....
As they are spiritual being fundamentally, it's at the risk of his existence.
(L) Well, in other words, it's like that a salary worker is told to do a job and take. Then, he says "Well, I can't complete this job. Chief, please give me a helping hand.", and he is fired or is demoted after the job was completed, right?
(Author) Hmm.....it's a little different, I feel.
(L) BTW, Brass Demon and Lesser Demon use Flare Arrow. But, it's no problem, because they make Flare Arrow by their own power, while human sorcerers make Flare Arrow by spiritual power.
(Author) The magic by God's power is.....not available in that world, to be exact, in that area appeared in "Slayers". [memo by Tokitama: In novels, Lina and her company didn't go out of the barrier. Thanks.]
.....Well, surely, three of 4 Dragon Lords Ceiphied left: Flare Lord, Air Lord, and Earth Lord are alive, and it's possible to borrow their power, but.....
(L) The problem is "The barrier to seal Gods' power" which was made by 4 of 5 Subordinate Lords of Mazoku, in order to weaken Aqua Lord's power, during Kouma War. The barrier was working to weaken Aqua Lord's power when Aqua Lord is alive, and is working to insulate outside Dragon Lords' power after Aqua Lord was destroyed.
(Author) The area appeared in "Slayers" is as large as Europe, but is isolated from other area by the sea and the desert.
It's possible to across the sea or the desert physically, but there're strong points of the barrier: HellMaster's in the desert, and DeepSea's, GreaterBeast's, Dynast's in the sea. So, by the menace of nature and miasma of Mazoku, it is impossible to interchange----no, it WAS.
(L) Oh, I see. It's because HellMaster was ruined in "The Lord of the Ghost-City".....
(Author) .....Don't say as if it's other people's affairs.....
(L) .....Ugh....!?
A.....Anyway, the ruin of HellMaster means one part of the barrier was broken, so.....
That means it's possible to use the magic by Gods' power and to go across the desert now, doesn't that?
(Author) Yep.
.....But, it will take a long time till people notice it, and go across the desert or develop the magic by Gods' power and make it fit for practical use.
So, "White Magic" Lina and other people use in that world isn't the magic by Gods' power.
(L) .....Then, what in the hell is that?
(Author) In short, people living in that area just call magic to recover, purify, etc. as "White Magic". So, it's Spirit Magic in reality.
-----
power levels
(L) I see.
By the way, talking about Zanafar, the evil beast, Xelloss subtly expressed and it didn't make it clear whether Zanafar is annoying or don't matter. After all, How Mazoku Zanafar can beat?
(Author) Hmm.....I think it can't beat Mazoku in the class like Kanzel.
(L) .....it may be.....weak....?
(Author) Yes, about pure Mazoku.
But, Zanafar is far stronger than subspecific-Mazoku like Blass Demon and Lesser Demon.
If the full-scale war breaks out between human etc. and Mazoku----
Surely, pure Mazoku is strong overwhelmingly, but their number is very little.
So, after all, the main force of Mazoku will be Blass Demon and Lesser Demon. Then, if human uses mass-produce-type Zanafar.....
(L) I see. Mazoku would have a hard time, even if they don't lose finally.
(Author) Actually, if all Mazoku go into action all at once, they can completely destroy all human in the barrier to seal Gods' power.....no, it's impossible. As there're people like Lina's elder sister.
Anyway, it's possible to destroy almost all human. But, if 3 Dragon Lords, who Ceiphied left, attack after Mazoku do that and is exhausted, Mazoku will be beat easily.
(L) Surely. And, Mazoku's nutriment is fear, hatred, etc. So, it's best to be moderate in being cruel to human, till Mazoku accomplish their purpose by to delete the world.
(Author) .....well.....don't ask my agreement so easily.
