01x24 - The Heroes

[bunniefuu]

Don't give up!

As long as we, the Seven Deadly Sins, are here!

A-Amazing!

So this is the power of those legendary knights!

Sir Meliodas...

It's all right.

Thanks to you, my depleted stamina has been restored.

Just leave the rest to us.

I want you to stay with Hawk.

Hawk...

I'll always... be by your side.

This is a tale of ancient times,

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

The wars fought repeatedly throughout Britannia's history.

Why they broke out, and how they could be ended,

no one has had a clue till now.

Only one person in the world knows the answer.

And the order of knights that he leads is...

the legendary Seven Deadly Sins!

EPISODE : THE HEROES

No way! He's hardly sustained any damage!

Damn! I thought I ripped that arm off.

That durable armor of his is one pain in the ass.

We still have hope!

Gowther! We're gonna do that att*ck! Let everybody know!

Captain. Gowther's not...

Glasses, glasses.

He's still alive!

All right.

Roger that, Captain.

What the hell are you?



Tap. Broadcast!

What's this?



Gowther's instructions just came pouring into my head instantaneously.

Are you serious?



This is our strategy?



Captain, are you sure about this?



All right, everybody! Shall we begin?



You disabled your magical powers?

What do you think you're doing?



King, what should we do?



I know. We've no choice but to do it!

Lightning King Iron Hammer!

LIGHTNING KING IRON HAMMER

To think he'd att*ck, risking his ally.

He must not have had time to narrow his aim solely at me.

Gravity x!!!

How dare you spit on my sense of justice!

Rising Tornado!

Ugh... My magical powers are running out.

So soon?

Hang in there a little longer!

All right!

Your opponent's me, okay?



You're going to sacrifice yourself in order to immobilize me?



I find that commendable,

but it looks like you're the only one sustaining any damage.

I see.

It was only your physical strength that was healed by Elizabeth.

I'm guessing that by now,

you no longer have enough magical power to even use Full Counter?



Captain!

Dark Nebula.

If I were you, I wouldn't...

underestimate me!

Captain... I'm so sorry!

Rush Rock!

Stop, Diane!

Spirit Spear Chastiefol, fourth configuration!

SUNFLOWER

Sunflower!

Oh, crap! Run, everybody!

You confound me, Dragon Sin of Wrath.

Despite being framed and forced into exile,

you're still sacrificing yourself for the kingdom?



Even though I'm going to destroy everything.

Yeah, as if we'd let you!

Utter futility.

Your att*cks may end up k*lling Meliodas, but you won't be able to k*ll me.

Really?

You sure about that?



Vanishing k*ll!

What's he up to?



Is that enough, Captain?



Yeah.

Wh-What the hell?

What is this magical power?



It can't be...

You bet it is.

Revenge Counter!

After disabling his own magical powers,

he stores every single att*ck he receives, unleashing them all at once.

Without pinpoint control, he'll inevitably self-destruct.

It's a double-edged sword as well as the captain's ultimate blow.

According to my calculations,

your survival rate after being subjected to this att*ck would be . percent.

Good luck!

Allow me to bid farewell to you, too.

You're alive, Griamore?



Every last one of you... When will you stop thwarting me?

!

You still don't get it, Hendrickson?



In return for useless power, you abandoned everything important to you!

And that is your sin!

Me, of all people...

By the likes of you?

!

Captain!

Ahem.

Y-Your Majesty?

!

F-Father! How are you feeling?

Are you all right now?



Yes.

Thank goodness!

Merlin, are you done with Bartra's treatment?



Yes, that new secret technique from the Demon Realm

I'd been wanting to try was a resounding success.

Using the king as your guinea pig... You really have guts.

All's well that ends well. Right, Your Majesty?



Sire!

Please... We, the Holy Knights, ask to be severely penalized.

We have strayed from the path.

We've disregarded your exhortations to avoid a Holy w*r,

and turned our backs on the people's suffering.

We no longer have the right to call ourselves Holy Knights.

Please, your harshest sentence!

Very well. I will now hand down my sentence.

Every one of you...

shall go without a day off for the foreseeable future.

Sire! But then our sin won't be--

No matter how harshly you're punished,

the wounds of those who've suffered won't heal any faster.

Now is the time for you, the kingdom's Holy Knights,

to devote yourselves to rebuilding the kingdom

and aiding the people as soon as possible!

Yes, Sire!

Meliodas...

and you Seven Deadly Sins...

Well done!

The fact that, despite being framed, you protected the kingdom,

and never stopped protecting my daughter...

As king, and as a father, I am grateful to you. Thank you.

Hey, let's not stand on ceremony, Bartra!

We just did what anyone would do for a friend. Right?



Elizabeth.

You've really become strong.

You did well to search for the Seven Deadly Sins on your own.

As your father, I am very proud of you.

But...

But because of me, Hawk is...

And he was my dear friend.

Hawk doesn't blame you one bit.

But...

Master.

I know I said a lot of nasty things to you.

That we were never friends.

That really was an awful thing to say.

Everyone I take a liking to...

ends up leaving me.

But in the end, it was a stroke of luck.

Had the captain d*ed in that scenario,

our chances for victory would've become extremely slim.

But the loss in combat power due to the death of the Scraps captain was zero.

-It didn't hurt us at all. -Why, you...

Well, hold up, Fox Sin Ban.

Outta my way, Merlin!

Gowther meant no harm. Forgive him.

You just keep your trap shut for a while, you damned Four Eyes!

Why is he mad?



Gowther... where's the armor that I gave you?



It broke.

Did it?

Then I'll get you another suit as soon as I can.

Hawk, if you quit the tavern without telling me, I won't forgive you.

Who's gonna dispose of the scraps in your place?



Today's victory and glory all belong to the master.

Right, Captain?



Yeah. Come on back, now.

If you do, I'll give you three times as much scraps as before.

Don't you forget what you just said!

Hawk?



Hey... you're alive?



Yeah. Looks like it.

Master, you're the best!

Wow, I can't believe it!

He's so tiny now!

Seriously, you're a reckless bastard, pig!

-Hey! No fair! -Hold up.

Elizabeth!

It's the same with you, Sir Meliodas.

Really... You're always so reckless.

Ellie...

Big Sister Veronica?



Big Sister Veronica!

But how?

Sister, you were...

After I left you all in Vaizel, she suddenly woke up.

It's all thanks to you.

Sister... I'm so glad!

I really am!

You really are a crybaby, Ellie.

For now, I guess it's case closed, huh?



Yeah, I guess so.

By the way, why'd you get so tiny, Master?



It's a mystery.

Sir Meliodas!

Yeah.

It's over.

The Coffin of Eternal Darkness is nowhere to be found?



That's right. I searched high and low using my magical powers,

but there's no trace of it.

Then where is it?



Just in case, I searched all over the capital,

but the end result was the same.

There was just one thing.

Immediately after you defeated Hendrickson,

there were eyewitness reports of a strange bird-like creature in that area,

flying away towards the southern skies.

South, eh?



Well, don't look so grim, Captain.

I told Arthur that I'd be away for a while.

Boar Sin Merlin will accompany you for a while as a Seven Deadly Sins.

Keep that lumber coming!

We're gonna make some real headway before tomorrow's anniversary festival!

Oh, man. Diane must be totally depressed.

Seeing the captain and Lady Elizabeth like that...

Hey! But this is my chance to make Diane look my way!

Yeah, but what am I supposed to do with this chance?



What's this about a chance?



Diane! Huh?



What's going on?



Merlin told me to stay small until I get new clothes,

and she made me a special potion.

King, are these clothes... weird?



Uh, no... I mean...

Or is it... me being small that's weird?



No, no! That's not it at all!

Whether you're big or small, you're still you, Diane.

That's what I think.

Well, but of course I am! You really are strange, King!

Am I strange?



I know! It's a great opportunity,

so why not ask someone to accompany you to tomorrow's festival?



For example, the captain, maybe...

What a moron I am!

The truth is, I want to go with you!

Okay! Then I think I'll ask someone!

King... let's go to the festival together!

Excuse me?



I said, you and me, King. Okay?



Excuse me?



Dammit... just as I thought, my magical powers are gone!

But if I'd been left the way I was, I would've stayed a monster.

If Ban hadn't saved me, by now I'd probably be...

Thanks to that guy, my head's all messed up!

Well. You look much better now.

G-Guila!

What's up with that girly outfit?



Well, I am a girl. You look cute yourself, Jericho.

Well, you sure lucked out.

Not going berserk, not losing your magical powers...

Actually, there's a reason for that.

A reason?

Could it be...

The power of love.

My love for him, and his love for me.

I'm sure it was that bond that protected me.

Ban, this meal you made is yummy!

What is this?

What is this?

I can't stop chomping!

It must be a miracle! A fantasy! If I had to describe this taste,

it'd be "the ultimate scraps tumbling from the mouth of a god!"

Hey, God! I hope you kept costs down making that.

Not to worry. They're expired leftovers.

So you really are running a tavern.

Hey, Little Gil!

Welcome to the Boar Hat.

Sit wherever you want.

All right.

H-Hello.

I've been wanting to say this if I ever saw you.

I'm really sorry about the Forest of White Dreams.

Forest of White Dreams?

What was that again?



I'm not letting anyone have these scraps!

All righty! Here's some Vanya ale for you!

Good, huh?



It's very good.

Especially right after a hard day's work, this is the best!

Meliodas?



I'm leaving the capital.

Why?



Even if it was for the purpose of duping Hendrickson and his men,

I still ended up hurting numerous people.

I can't forgive myself for doing so.

I'm going to leave the capital and visit each region.

And I want to make amends to those I hurt...

in any way I can.

I see.

Sounds good to me.

If it's something you've decided on your own, I'm not gonna stop you.

You're a full-fledged man now.

The ambitions of the two grand masters held c*ptive by the darkness were crushed,

and the kingdom was again filled with the light of hope and the people's smiles.

And so it ended, my adventure-filled journey with Sir Meliodas

that began with my search for the Seven Deadly Sins.

But I'll never forget.

The painful times, the fun times, the scary times, the happy times...

With everyone.

With Sir Meliodas.

Those are all precious memories.

I'd given up all hope of ever seeing such a day again.

I sure caused you a lot of worry, Sister.

And you, too.

Elizabeth?



Uh, yes?



The Seven Deadly Sins will be leaving the kingdom today.

Leave?

Where?



For King Arthur's country, Camelot.

Hold on! Where are you going?



Well, it's just too sudden for them to leave today.

I haven't said goodbye.

-If you see him, it will be painful. -But...

The next journey will surely be even more grueling and difficult than this one.

And precisely because he knows that,

Meliodas has decided to suppress his own feelings,

and leave by himself.

What's going on?

!

Elizabeth!

Sir Meliodas!

Hey, I totally forgot something really important.

See, there aren't seven of us yet like there should be!

You'll come with us, won't you?



Yes!

-Wait... -Ellie!

Okay, Bartra, there you have it!

I-I'll be off, then!

Hey!

Elizabeth!

If you're not around, Elizabeth, these guys are gonna slack off!

Sorry we took so long to pick you up!

Although we are kidnapping a princess...

Diane. Sir King, Sir Gowther. I look forward to joining you again!

Look forward to it!

Captain, I'm leaving as of today. Since there are places I wanna go.

All of a sudden?



Hey, what about my scraps?



You're coming back, right?



Yeah. To settle the score with you.

Hey! Hold up a second, Ban! Ban!

Never short on thrills, is it?

This party.

By the way, Merlin,

I've got all these question for you about that day ten years ago.

It's a long story, you know.

No problem.

We've got plenty of time before we reach our next destination.

Was this encounter a coincidence, or was it inevitable?



Is it despair or hope that lies ahead of us?



My new journey with Sir Meliodas,

along with the Seven Deadly Sins, has begun.

Don't cry...

We'll see each other again.

Look at this.

This same thing appeared on both Meliodas and Hendrickson's faces.

Meaning... no way.

What in the world did my father...

We might have to reconsider everything from scratch.
