This process continues through the generations until 1997, when one Slayer—Buffy Summers—is killed in battle (by drowning) only to be revived via CPR. Buffy retains her Slayer powers, but her clinical death is enough for the next Slayer to be called.

Regardless, Buffy is still referred to as "the" Slayer.

Satsu was one of several original characters invented by series creator Joss Whedon for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight", a comic book continuation of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". Whedon described the concept for Satsu's relationship with Buffy as "evolv[ing] naturally" during the development of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight". He viewed the story arc as "an opportunity for drama and character exploration" set up over the course of the comics, which had established Buffy as grappling with her isolation from others and Satsu as in love with her. When pinpointing Satsu's role in Buffy's character development, Dark Horse Comics editor Scott Allie referred to their relationship as an "ill-conceived romance" that exemplifies Buffy's faults as a general to her army.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Philosophy: Fear and Trembling in Sunnydale is an academic publication relating to the fictional Buffyverse established by two TV series, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel".
Two magazine titles have been published by Titan Magazines in the United Kingdom for fans of the television series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and its spin-off "Angel". Buffy the Vampire Slayer Magazine commenced publication in 1999. Angel Magazine had a limited run of 24 issues and was published between September 2003 and July 2005. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer Magazine" incorporated "Angel Magazine" from #76 (August 2005), and was renamed Buffy the Vampire Slayer Magazine incorporating Angel Magazine. It went bi-monthly in 2006, and the final issue was #94 (June/July 2007).
The First Slayer appears in the graphic novel, "Tales of the Slayers", in which she is asked to leave a village she defended from a vampire because the villagers fear "her" even more than other demons and again in "Tales of the Slayer". She also cameos in the comic mini-series "Fray" #3, when a Slayer in the future is told the origins of her power, and in the "Buffy Season Eight" storyline "The Long Way Home" as an image of Buffy's dreamscape.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow & Tara is a trade paperback anthology collection published by Dark Horse Comics in 2002 and based on the television series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". The volume collects three issues focusing on Willow Rosenberg and Tara Maclay: "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow & Tara - Wannablessedbe", originally published in 2001 as a one issue special, and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow & Tara - Wilderness", originally published in 2002 as a two issue limited series. It also adds a story from an "extra" issue.
The fourth season of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer premiered on October 5, 1999, on The WB and concluded its 22-episode season on May 23, 2000. It maintained its previous timeslot, airing Tuesdays at 8:00 pm ET. Beginning with this season, the character of Angel was given his own "series", which aired on The WB following "Buffy". Various "Buffy" characters made appearances in "Angel", including Buffy herself; Cordelia Chase, formerly a regular in "Buffy", and Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, who appeared in "Buffy" season three.
A Slayer also has the limited ability to detect the presence of vampires (and presumably other demons). This power must be honed as with the heightened awareness, and the Slayer must focus to achieve the full effect. This does not prevent Buffy (and other Slayers) from being ambushed by vampires. Buffy could be unusually deficient in this sense: Although she initially distrusts Angel when first meeting him and seems to sense that he is following her for a period of time, she doesn't realize until he shows her his vampiric face for the first time that he is a vampire. However, her ability might have been compromised by the presence of Angel's soul. Additionally, in "Dirty Girls," Faith attacks Spike under the impression that he is chasing an innocent girl and is unaware that he was in fact pursuing a vampire until said vampire attacks her from behind.
She is perhaps best known for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" for having voiced the character of Buffy Summers in two "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" video games ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and ""). She also played Buffy in the unaired pilot episode of the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" animated series.

In 2007, Angel began appearing in two canonical continuations of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel from Joss Whedon. The first of these was Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight, published by Dark Horse Comics, which continued the story of the Buffy television series. Later that year, Whedon and IDW Publishing released the series Angel: After the Fall, which continued on from the series finale of Angel. The two series were published by different publishers due to Dark Horse initially giving up the rights to licensed Angel comic books several years ago when the series was still on air.
