CAV and the Episode Unit
Part 1's four chapter stops label what the disc contains rather than subdivide what's inside it. Episode A runs to its end. Episode B follows. Ending sequence. Preview. Each stop marks the start of a production unit — not a narrative beat or a scene, but a discrete segment as the production defined it.
Four volumes, four stops each. The structure is consistent across the entire series. The disc holds the episode the same way a broadcast slot held it: complete, bounded, one thing at a time.
3×3EYES ~聖魔伝説~ I 末裔の章 — BELL-647, 1995.7.25. Pai (older, dark jacket) centered with hands raised, Yakumo behind in travel coat. Deep red background. Both characters redesigned for Part 2. キャラクターデザイン: 熊谷哲也. LaserDisc logo lower left. Emotion/Bandai Visual/King Records logos lower right.
BELL-647~649
Three CLV discs. 49 minutes each. 税抜¥6,311. Part 2 ~聖魔伝説~ opens where Part 1 left off — four years later in the story, four years later in production. The BELL-647 obi announces it directly: 1900万部突破の超人気コミックス、OAV第2シリーズ遂に開始!! The circulation figure has tripled since 1991.
製作: 講談社・バンダイビジュアル・KING RECORDS. The studio credit changes; the cast does not. 林原めぐみ (パイ) and 辻谷耕史 (八雲) are listed on both the Part 1 BEAL discs and the Part 2 CD tie-in release.
CHRONIK OF 3×3EYES LEGEND OAV VERSION — booklet included with BELL-647. Left: 4年前のパイ (Part 1 — headdress, ritual staff, younger proportions) with arrow to 今のパイ (Part 2 — shorter hair, jacket, changed silhouette). 4年前の八雲 (school uniform) with arrow to current 八雲. Right: OAV年代記 timeline — 300年前 (series backstory), 1991.7.25 (BEAL-461 release), 1991.9.26, 1992.1.23, through the gap and into the 4年後 notation leading to Part 2.
Part 2 obi (BELL-647) — left column: OAV RELEASE SCHEDULE with BELL-648 (II 鍵の章 '95.11.25) and BELL-649 (III 帰還の章 '96.3.25). Center: Scene Chapter listing, 27 stops, チベット through 次回予告. CLV（1面）/BELL-647. 税抜¥6,311. EMOTION VIDEO DISC. 製作: 講談社・バンダイビジュアル・KING RECORDS.

Bottom center: PAI'S MEMORIES — color illustration of Pai in straw hat and summer dress, arms at her sides. No headdress, no staff, no wings. Staff credits partial at lower right: キャラクターデザイン 熊谷哲也.
PAI'S MEMORIES
The CHRONIK booklet, ΣAZAN EΨEΣ, and Last Messages from Cast are all packed with BELL-647. None appear in the 2011 Blu-ray box (KIXA-90059/60), which packages both OVA productions together on disc. The design comparison — 4年前のパイ drawn alongside 今のパイ on the same page with an arrow between them — is in this object and no subsequent commercial release.
Last Messages from Cast of 3×3EYES — green-background booklet spread. Left page: cast member messages, character portraits, signed comments. Right page: スタッフ&キャスト — complete Part 2 production credits. キャラクターデザイン: 熊谷哲也. Cast: 林原めぐみ (パイ), 辻谷耕史 (八雲), full supporting cast listed.
Part 1's four chapter stops label what the disc contains rather than subdivide what's inside it. Episode A runs to its end. Episode B follows. Ending sequence. Preview. The structure is the same on all four BEAL discs. The disc holds the episode the way a broadcast slot held it — complete, bounded.
Part 2's BELL-647 has 27 named scene chapters across 49 CLV minutes. チベット through 次回予告, each stop named for a location or a narrative beat. CLV does not require chapter stops at all; they're added by choice. Four years after Part 1, the production assumed a buyer who wanted to navigate within the episode, not only reach its beginning.
Pai carries a staff and headdress on BEAL-461. She stands in a straw hat in the PAI'S MEMORIES illustration — arms at her sides, facing partly away, summer clothes. Both productions have 林原めぐみ in the role. The CHRONIK booklet in BELL-647 puts both character designs on the same page with an arrow drawn between them.
