Anime Like Slayers: The Motion Picture

Kazuma Satou, a high school student and shut-in, meets a ridiculous end on his way home from purchasing a new video game. He awakens before Aqua, a stunning yet incredibly annoying goddess, who offers him a choice: move on to the afterlife or be reincarnated into the ultimate fantasy realm. Opting for a fresh start, Kazuma is immediately assigned the mission to defeat the menacing Demon King. Before departing, he may select one item to accompany him, and he foolishly chooses Aqua herself. However, this proves to be a catastrophic error, as she is utterly incompetent. The pair soon discovers that reality in this world is nothing like the video games they know. Rather than embarking on an epic journey, they are forced to scrape together enough money to survive, marking the beginning of their endless string of misfortunes.

After his death, Kazuma Satou had two options: move on to heaven or be resurrected in a fantasy world. Choosing the latter, the goddess Aqua gave him the mission of defeating the Demon King and allowed him to select any weapon for assistance. Unfortunately, Kazuma decided to bring Aqua herself along, a decision he has regretted ever since. Not only is he stuck with a useless deity now serving as their party's archpriest, but the pair also needs to earn enough money for living expenses. Compounding their troubles, their group keeps expanding as more problematic adventurers join their ranks. Their token spellcaster, Megumin, is an explosion magic specialist capable of casting only one spell per day and refuses to learn anything else. There is also their stalwart crusader, Lalatina Ford "Darkness" Dustiness, a helpless masochist who makes Kazuma look pure by comparison. Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! 2 continues to follow Kazuma and the rest of his party through countless further adventures as they struggle to earn money and deal with one another's problematic personalities. However, things rarely go as planned, and they are often sidetracked by their own idiotic tendencies.

Five years following his victory at the World Martial Arts tournament, Gokuu enjoys a tranquil existence alongside his wife and child. That peace is shattered by the sudden appearance of a stranger named Raditz, who claims to be Gokuu's older brother. Raditz reveals that Gokuu belongs to the Saiyan race, once mighty but nearly extinct after their home planet was destroyed. Sent to Earth as an infant with the mission to conquer and annihilate the planet, Gokuu's brutal instincts were erased by a head injury that caused amnesia; instead, he grew up gentle and polite, now using his strength to defend others. After failing to forcibly recruit Gokuu as an ally, Raditz warns his friends of an imminent danger rapidly approaching Earth—one that will ignite an interstellar war and make the very heavens tremble. A conflict over the seven mystical Dragon Balls, magical artifacts capable of granting any desire, is about to erupt. Only the strongest will endure.

Gokuu Son is a young boy living alone in the woods—until a girl named Bulma stumbles upon him while searching for a set of magical objects known as the "Dragon Balls." Since these artifacts are said to grant a single wish to anyone who collects all seven, Bulma hopes to gather them and wish for the perfect boyfriend. Gokuu happens to have a dragon ball, but he refuses to give it up, so Bulma strikes a deal: he can join her on her quest if he allows her to borrow the dragon ball's power. With that, the two embark on a journey of a lifetime. They don't travel alone. Along the way, they meet the old Muten-Roshi and his aspiring disciple Kuririn, with whom Gokuu trains to become a stronger martial artist for the upcoming World Martial Arts Tournament. However, not everything is fun and games; the ability to make any wish come true is a powerful one, and there are others who would do far worse than just wishing for a boyfriend. To stop those who would misuse the legendary power, they train to become stronger fighters, using their newfound strength to help the people they encounter along the way.

They soon arrive on Earth, where they encounter Gokuu Son, one of the planet's strongest fighters, along with his formidable allies.

Even if the Demon Lord's generals attack their village, the Crimson Demons can easily brush them off thanks to their unrivaled mastery of advanced and overpowered magic. When Yunyun receives what appears to be a serious letter about an impending disaster in her hometown, she promptly informs Kazuma Satou and the rest of his party. After a series of absurd misunderstandings, it turns out to be nothing more than a prank by a fellow demon who wants to become an author. Even so, Megumin grows worried about her family and sets out toward the Crimson Demons' village with the group. Once there, Kazuma and the others decide to sightsee the wonders of Megumin's birthplace. However, they soon come to realize that the nonsense threat they received might have been more than just a joke.

He uses his strongest skills against weak enemies and buys far too many supplies and potions—all in the name of safety. While his attitude may be somewhat irritating, it could very well be what saves Gaeabrande, especially given that it is a world where the forces of evil dominate every expectation.
