01x05 - Even If You Should Die

[bunniefuu]

That hits the spot!

The wounds inflicted on Meliodas by the Holy Knight Gilthunder

were much more serious than first thought.

Elizabeth devotedly tends to his wounds in the town of Dalmally,

which they have come to in order to rescue a third member of the Seven Deadly Sins,

Ban, the Fox Sin of Greed, held in Baste Prison.

However, she continues to butt heads with Diane, the Serpent Sin of Envy.

Four Holy Knights, the Weird Fangs, take action.

Ban escapes from solitary confinement.

And,

As for Meliodas...

Who's there?

Show yourself!

It is a pleasure to meet you.

I am the Holy Knight Golgius,member of the Weird Fangs.

A Holy Knight!

Where did he come from?

!

Princess Elizabeth.I have come to take you home.

Hold it! You'll have to go through Hawk,captain of the Order of Scraps Disposal!

Hawk!

Oh, and...

there is little pointto you keeping this sword.

I will take it back.

This is a tale of ancient times,

when the human and non-human worlds had not yet split.

The Holy Knights, the defenders of the realm,

possessed tremendous magical powers and were both feared and revered.

But among their number were a few

who betrayed the realm and made enemies of all Holy Knights.

These knights were known as the Seven Deadly Sins.

EPISODE :EVEN IF YOU SHOULD DIE

TWELVE YEARS AGO

C'mon, Captain... What's the big deal?



Let me have a look at your sword.

Why're you so interestedin looking at this hunk of junk?



I'm just curious whythe captain of the Seven Deadly Sins

is walking around with a sword like that.

How could I not be curious?



Okay?

Gimme a peek.

Let go, Ban.

You two are still up?



Let go, Ban. Don't make me angry.

Angry?

You?



I've served with you for years,and I've never seen you get angry once.

Let go.

Oh, right. I'm also interested inwhy you're called the Dragon Sin of Wrath.

Ban! Why are you provoking the Captain?



If it means I'll get to see youwhen you're angry,

I want to see your sword even more.

No, I want to steal it!

Looks like I foundthe Captain's hidden side.

Sorry about that, Ban. This sword is--

Stop it! What do you thinkyou're doing with Meliodas!

Oh, now I understand. It's this sword?



Impossible! Nothing could have survivedall the poison I gave him!

You don't know when to die...Let go of this sword!

Even if I should die,I won't let go of this sword.

It's the only way I can atone for my sin!

Meliodas!

Spout all the nonsense you like,the princess and the sword will be mine!

He got away!

Um, Meliodas?

Is that you?



Hey, Elizabeth! Porky!

Oh, thank goodness!You're back to your usual self!

Yeah, but he called me Porky.

Uh... Where are we?



The town of Dalmally,at Baste Prison's doorstep.

Who was that weird guy just now?



A Holy Knight named Golgius.

It looks like he's after Elizabethand that broken sword of yours.

That quack doctor was in cahoots with him.

Oh?



-He skipped out! After him!-Wait!

Meliodas' wounds aren't healed yet!

Elizabeth... That hurts!

Looks healed to me.

That's... not possible! No way!

What's the matter?

You're awfully assertive today.

No, I didn't mean it like that!

Go on, feel me up! Be my guest!

I couldn't possibly...

Whatever, hurry up and get dressed!

Goodness, that was a close call.So that is Meliodas, the Dragon Sin.

If I'd made my exit mere moments later...

How fascinating!

There!

Uh-oh! They've found me?



Don't underestimate a nosethat can detect scraps from a mile away!

Can it really?



Yep. Uh, that got your attention?



You're gonna tell me who ordered youto steal my sword and the princess.

Otherwise,I'll b*at you senseless where you stand.

Of course! I surrender!

I am a coward by nature.I don't care for fighting.

Especially when it is the captainof the Seven Deadly Sins that I face.

I threw those hidden weaponswhen I raised my hands.

You saw that, did you?



Don't underestimate a pair of eyes thatcan catch a flash of panties a mile away.

-C-Can they really?

-Nope.

Sir Golgius! I found you!

It's that quack!

I failed to k*ll the boy,but I poisoned him just as I was told!

Now, release my daughter as you promised!

He vanished?



Wh-Where'd he go?

!

-Elizabeth, stay close!-Right!

Come to think of it,he appeared out of thin air earlier, too.

There is no need to shout.I shall send your daughter to join you.

Th-Thank you!

Hey! Get away from there!

I shall send her to join youin the afterlife presently.

That was dirty!

We can't have you slanderingthe good name of the Holy Knights

by saying that we ordered youto poison a boy, can we?



-Dr. Dana!-Elizabeth!

Forget about that guy!

Dr. Dana, hold on!

It's not safe here! There's no tellingwhen or where he'll appear next!

But we can't leave Dr. Dana here to die!

I have you!

Meliodas!

He vanished again!Is this guy teleporting?

!

What a clever piggy you are.

Yes, your strength is uselessagainst my teleportation.

For now, we run!

Crap! He's leaving a metallic scent trail,

but he's not giving me time to track it!

Scent trail?



No matter where you run or hide,I'll always find you!

In here!

Why are we hidingin this run-down building?



Hawk, do you want to get the townspeoplecaught up in this?



Well, I guess not...

Let's wait him out in here for now.

I'm surprised it's still standing.Ugh, this place is so musty...

What're you doing?



A little spell to keep himfrom coming in here.

"A little spell," my butt.You can't use magic.

Are you sure about that?



Are you sure about this?



We're on the top floorof a cramped, old building.

There's nowhere to run.

At least close the door.

What good is a door against a teleporter?



He might suddenly appear right between us.

Eek!

Close! Behind you.

Close! Beneath you!

It's so run-downthat he fell straight to the bottom.

Then that spell--

He made cuts in the floorof the doorway...

It's invisibility, right?

That's your power?



It was bugging me how there was a time gapbetween you disappearing from one spot

and reappearing in another.

It was also strange that a teleporter would leave a scent trail.

Add it all up, and you've been movingon foot, same as us.

Meaning that you would have to come in through the room's only door.

Plus, fighting down here means thatI don't have to worry about Elizabeth.

Now, then...Would you mind answering me, Golgius?



Why were you after Elizabeth and my sword,and who ordered you to do it?



Meliodas!

You had us worried for a minute!

Uh-oh. He ran away!

What the hell?

A horse?



That commotion must have spooked it.Stupid, cowardly animal.

That must be him.

Whew, how frightening!My superiors gave me quite the mission!

Looks like that horseis headed toward Baste Prison.

Okay, then! Let's go!

Hey! Elizabeth?



Baste Prison isn't that way!

Doctor! Dr. Dana!

Hang on! Why did you do this...?



Why... are you crying?



I'm sorry. I did it...

because I wanted to save my daughter.

Sennett...I only wanted to keep you safe...

This is my fault...

What are you saying?

It was Golgius who k*lled him.

If we hadn't come to this town,he wouldn't be dead,

and his daughter wouldn'thave been taken hostage, would they?



Elizabeth...

If I hadn't gone off to findthe Seven Deadly Sins in the first place,

you wouldn't have been badly hurtin that fight against Gilthunder,

and you wouldn't have nearly been killedby Golgius' scheme!

I understand why you would want to cry.

But is a tear or two enoughto make you give up

on wanting to protect the peopleof the kingdom from the Holy Knights?



I'm committed to seeking outthe Seven Deadly Sins with you

and stopping the Holy Knights.

Even if you should die...I'll keep my promise to you!

Meliodas...

Everyone dies.

But as long as someone keeps their dream alive,

that dream will never die.

Once you've decided to keep a dream alive,

no matter how much you bleed, even if your tears run dry,

you see it through!

That's what makes you a knight.

Goodness, what a disaster!

I didn't expect him to go that far.

Ah, our welcoming committeeseems to be ready and waiting.

Well, I guess we should set out for Baste.

Hang on, are you planningon leaving Elizabeth behind?



She hasn't come out since you carriedthat quack into his clinic.

Don't be stupid, it's fine.It's better for her to stay put in town.

Besides, there are Holy Knights in Bastewho are after her.

Sheesh, how stupid are you?



You called me stupid twice!

People who call people stupidare the stupid ones!

I apologize, Porky.

"Porky" is exactly the same, you bastard!

-Ow! You're stretching my jowls...-Meliodas!

Why'd you run out to meet us?



Here.

I patched this up while you were sleeping.

It's not exactly professional work,though.

You're so sweet!

-Thanks, Elizabeth.-I'm glad I caught up.

Okay, let's go!

I'm not a knight.

But I'm going to keep on fightingto protect the kingdom and its people.

Even if you had d*ed back there!

Hey, don't k*ll me off.

S-Sorry!

Elizabeth! What about if I d*ed?

What if I d*ed?



Um... I'd hang in there.

Elizabeth,those responses are like night and day...

I'm sorry, Hawk!

Don't worry, Hawk.

If you die,we won't let your meat go to waste!

Right, Elizabeth?



-Right!-What about my dream?

!

So, shall we?



Right! Let's go save Ban!

Nope, not him.

What was her name?

Sennett?



We have to rescueDr. Dana's daughter first.

Meliodas!

But what about Ban?



As soon as he knowsthat we're headed his way,

he'll bust himself out.

Really?



An att*ck?



Diane!

What are you doing out here?



Captain?



Captain, you should still be in bed!What do you think you're doing?



I'm fine, I'm more worried about you!

Worried about me?



After you squashedall those bugs in Dalmally,

you charged full-tilt toward Baste Prison!

I did?



Diane?



Looks like we're dealingwith a tricky customer here...

Are you really okay, Diane?



Yeah. My head's a little fuzzy,that's all.

I am Holy Knight Ruin.

Member of the Weird Fangs and bringerof ruin to the Seven Deadly Sins.

A Holy Knight!Captain, protect the princess!

Captain?

Guys?

Where'd everybody go?



They are now at my mercy.

Give me back the Captain!

Meliodas!

Meliodas!

Diane, what's gotten into you?



Diane! Meliodas is right here!

Snap out of it, beanpole!

I'm warning you,I'm not gonna lose to some Holy Knight!

Look at her eyes...She can't see us at all.

Wh-What do we do?

!

-For starters, we run!-I knew you were going to say that!

Oh, crap! Bystanders!

Hey! If you don't want to die,you'd better start running, too!

Where are you hiding, Holy Knight?



I'm gonna fold, spindle, and mutilateyou and your armor, you pipsqueak!

Help!

Meliodas,what in the world has happened to Diane?



She's gone nuts, that's for sure.Look after this kid for a sec, okay?



O-Okay.

What are you two doing out here?



We're shepherds,on our way back from the pasture.

What's gonna happen to us?



Don't worry, everything will be okay.

He'll sort it all out.

Who are you?



I am Holy Knight Ruin.

Member of the Weird Fangs, and bringerof ruin to the Seven Deadly Sins.

Hey, big guy! Was it youwho cast that weird spell on Diane?



What's he saying?

That is Diane.

Turn Diane... back to normal!

Oh, no! Is it just me, or is Meliodascaught in the same illusion as Diane?

!

She's cutting loose!

Oh my, good old Ruin has outdone himself!

Well, I had better get to work, too.

What should we do, Elizabeth?



Good question...If we don't do something, they'll both--

What in the world should we do?



Jericho!

Locate the Seven Deadly Sins' Ban,the Fox Sin of Greed!

-B-But, Jericho...-Why are you dressed like that?



Never mind me!Bring me my spare outfit and armor!

Get a move on!

Y-Yes, ma'am!

Curse him...

k*ll me... Be done with it and k*ll me!

Hairdresser...

That's a manly suit of armor.But it's not your style.

Ban...Mark my words, I'll make you pay for this!

I knew it, it's too small.Damn, I liked this, too.

What's with all the racket?

Was there a jailbreak or something?



Where do you think you are going,

Ban of the Seven Deadly Sins?



Hey, Holy Knight Jude.

You will die here, Ban. I will k*ll you.

k*ll me?

Why now?



You're of no further use, I suppose.

You have served your purpose as bait

to lure the captainof the Seven Deadly Sins here.

As we speak,two members of the Seven Deadly Sins,

Dragon Sin Meliodas and Serpent Sin Diane,

are being eliminatedat the hands of the Weird Fangs.

And when I k*ll you,

that will bring the tally to four Sinsthat have departed this life.

I hope your dream comes true.

Who was it who captured you five years agoand has been torturing you ever since?

Surely you haven't forgotten.

Well, I'm outta here.
