Captain Carol is a masterwork of comic cinemas!

Gourry Gabriev (ガウリイ・ガブリエフ Gaurī Gaburiefu) is a wandering swordsman who meets Lina at the beginning of the series, and accompanies her from then on as a self-appointed bodyguard. A characterization of Gourry from his manga profile is "as loyal as man's best friend, but not quite as smart".

Gourry is somewhat less than scholarly and appears to have memory deficiencies. However, his skills as a swordsman are unmatched throughout the franchise, especially when armed with his family's magic blade, the Sword of Light, also known as Gorun Nova. He has a high magic capacity and the potential to cast spells that rival Lina's power, but because of his faulty memory and disinterest, he cannot remember spells well enough to ever use them. His consideration for others and absolute loyalty to Lina are his most noted traits.
