Slayers Try: Nahga’s Laugh

I recently finished watching the entirety of Slayers Try. While there are plenty of things that piqued my interest throughout the series, this post is about one particular scene.

In episode 12/75, Lina threatens Jillas after his tank is successfully destroyed. And she does this….

She laughs like her old cohort/rival/travel companion, Nahga. Yes, that horrid, high-pitched laugh that makes ears bleed regardless of the language it’s in. It’s not often that The White Serpent is referenced within the Slayers series outside of the movies and OAVs, so this was definitely a surprise.

The next shot is of Amelia…

Why would Amelia hate that particular kind of laugh?

There have been rumors, speculation, and small implications like this that cause fans to ask the question: Are Amelia and Nahga related?

There is plenty of evidence to support this notion.

First, there are physical similarities. Amelia, Nahga, and Prince Philionel all have very dark hair with a tiny bit that sticks out either up or right in front. Amelia and Nahga are also *ahem* well-endowed for their respective ages.

Second, the personality traits. All three of them like to give speeches, whether the purpose is to berate an enemy or just embarrass them. There is also a tendency towards impulsive silliness and loud, awkward laughter.

Next, the dropped hints. Amelia mentions having an older sister who travels. There is also the above reaction; Why would she hate that particular laugh? Likely because she heard it in her own home! There is also mention by Zelgadis that Seyruun has a “runaway princess.”

My question is, how has Lina not made the connection?

Nahga’s actual name is Gracia Ul Naga Saillune. Despite this, since Nahga is a “runaway princess,” it’s likely that many of her subjects have never actually seen her. Would they recognize her in the super skimpy outfit? Are there any paintings of Nahga in the Saillune castle?

From what I have researched, the only confirmation of Nahga’s relationship to Amelia and Prince Phil comes from interviews with the creators.

I would love to see Nahga reunite with her family on screen, and do so in the presence of the other Slayers. You know, one big, trouble-making, world-saving family.
