EP20 (Slayers)

'''Trouble! Rahanimu, the Furious Fish-man!' (Japanese: Trouble! 嵐あらし の 半魚人はんぎょじん ラハニム♥, lit. Trouble! Arashi no hangyojin Rahanimu ♥'') is the 20th episode of Slayers. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 18, 1995.

Synopsis
Lina and company take refuge in an abandoned house, where they plan out what to do with Rezo. Gourry asks why Lina can't use the same spell she used to kill the other Rezo. But Sylphiel strongly objects to using the Giga Slave, saying that one wrong move could not only kill them, but destroy the world and turn it into a world of nothingness!

While travelling to Rezo's lab, they are caught in the middle by dozens of monsters. One is a fish man, Rahanimu, sent by Eris. Gourry and Sylphiel get split up with Lina, Amelia, and Zelgadiss who are fighting Rahanimu and other creatures.

Zangulus shows up and picks a fight with Gourry. In the midst of battle, Zangulus almost kills Sylphiel, but stops short. Realizing this, Gourry only uses Sylphiel's staff instead of his sword when he hits Zangulus in the face. Zangulus, is embarrassed when Gourry yells that he could have killed Sylphiel, but he stopped short of doing so on purpose. So, Zangulus retreats.

Meanwhile, Lina can't defeat Rahanimu. After Zelgadiss kills the other creatures (with no help from Amelia after he told her to get out of his way) with a fireball, he kills Rahanimu with a swipe of his sword. Lina thanks him, and Zelgadiss comments how he just used his brain, making Lina fume.

They walk into the forest where they find Gourry and Sylphiel. Thinking they were having a personal moment, Amelia hides the scene from Lina because she thinks Lina will get jealous. Unfortunately, she jumped on Lina so that her breasts were in Lina's face, making Lina so angry that she starts to "beat" Amelia up.

After greetings, they make it to Rezo's lab...
