03x06 - The Great Holy Knight Atones For His Sins

[bunniefuu]

The trial imposed by the Ten Commandments.

King and Diane were turned into Gloxinia and Drole

and sent to Britannia , years ago.

Elizabeth saved Derieri and Monspiet after they had transformed

into Indura, beasts of destruction.

But Rou and the other Humans suddenly start to revolt against Stigma.

Furthermore, thanks to Gowther's scheme,

the gate to the Demon Realm prison was completed, and the one to appear was...

It's been years

since the Demon King granted me the Commandment of Selflessness.

My freedom was taken,

and I could only connect with the outside world

through the doll of my own creation, Gowther.

But I'm at my limit in that regard.

I'm going to bid this world farewell.

But first...

I wanted to speak with you two.

You're the other...

No! The real Gowther?

This is a tale of ancient times,

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

The Ten Commandments, the Demon race's elite troops,

have been released from a , -year-old seal.

Their rule extends over all of Britannia, and a dark age approaches.

After a deadly struggle, the Kingdom of Liones drove back the Ten Commandments.

The counteroffensive to liberate Britannia was about to begin.

Standing in that vanguard is the pride of the kingdom, a legendary order of knights.

They're called the Seven Deadly Sins.

EPISODE SIX: WE CALL THAT LOVE

I'm Gowther, too. But there's no real or fake one.

This is getting complicated.

Sync off.

While I was imprisoned, he was my comrade

who served as my eyes, ears, and limbs as he fought in my stead.

I couldn't call him anything but my other self.

Wait! You just said

you wouldn't let us get near the tower until the gate was complete.

What's happening right now at the Light of Grace?

The Humans have begun to revolt.

Oh no!

It can't be!

They seem to feel a deep resentment for Stigma.

They deceived you in order to infiltrate the inner circle,

and magnificently succeeded in winning your trust.

They used the Demon race.

Don't be ridiculous!

What about you?

You only used them in order to escape from prison!

How many lives do you intend to sacrifice to be free, Gowther?

My goal is to become free and then end the Holy w*r.

Then there's nothing more for us to discuss.

Diane, let's hurry!

Go on ahead, King.

I'll catch up with you later.

Diane!

I think I'll talk to him a little bit more.

He doesn't seem like a normal bad guy,

and I'd like to learn more about Gowther, too.

Don't worry! Just trust me. Okay?

All right. But make sure you don't lower your guard.

You be careful, too, King.

Okay!

Is he your lover?

Me and King?

The trust between you two makes it seem like you've been together for a long time.

Oh, but it's not like that with...

Or maybe it is?

That you aren't being affected by my commandment is proof.

You likely don't just desire each other, but want to provide for one another.

I'm jealous.

If all the races could coexist as harmoniously as you two,

then a Holy w*r never would've happened.

Hey, Gowther. Can you really end the Holy w*r like you said earlier?

If my logic is correct, then I can definitely end it.

Diane, is the w*r still going on in the future?

No, it ended , years ago.

If this is , years ago, does that mean it's about to end?

I'm a little relieved.

Looks like my death won't be in vain.

Wait! Your death?

What are you going to do?

What will happen to the Gowther doll when you're gone?

About that... Auto-awake.

Good morning, Gowther.

Good morning, Gowther.

Sorry to suddenly bring this up when you've just woken up,

but listen carefully.

Starting now, you'll be on your own,

so you'll have to live according to your own will.

Though you have the same level of intelligence as me,

your emotional age is that of a baby.

The truth is, there were still so many things I wanted to teach you.

Please don't leave me!

He's crying.

The doll is crying.

Because I'm a doll... Are you leaving me because I'm a doll?

No, that's not why.

Besides, you're not just a doll.

Inside your chest is a heart I filled with all the heart's magic.

This is the first and last gift I'll ever give you.

My heart?

That's right.

Unfortunately, it seems in , years, there will be some sort of accident

in which you'll lose both your heart and memories.

Normally, this wouldn't be possible,

but my friends' story doesn't sound like a lie to me.

Friends? You mean me and King?

This encounter with me must seem like a fleeting moment to you two.

but to me, you're once-in-a-lifetime friends.

And as a friend, I have a favor to ask of you.

When you return to your world, I want you to become Gowther's friends.

Would you guide him to the correct path when he loses his way?

No, considering the actions he took towards you, it's too audacious to ask.

It's okay. Please forget what I said.

Please.

Guide me to the right path!

Okay, I'll try!

Here! Let's shake hands!

Okay, let's shake hands.

I want you to fulfill the dream that I couldn't.

I'm glad you were the last person I met.

Diane, I'd like to show you my appreciation.

That's okay. I'm glad I got to talk to you two, as well.

Please accept this, my kind-hearted friend.

It's a gift of thanks from the two Gowthers.

Gerheade, please be safe!

Please don't go, Brother!

Why do I always...

Just this once, let me get there in time!

Could it be that protecting Gerheade is the trial?

If so, does that mean Gloxinia wasn't able to protect her?

But Gerheade is alive in the world , years from now.

Then, what is...

Please! Please, no more. Please stop hurting each other like this!

Shut up! If you have time to snivel, then start fight--

Sir Rou, please, stop k*lling.

Why are you still here? If you don't want to die, then run away!

How dare you? You're just a weak human!

I'm weak, huh?

Stay back!

Stop it, Sir Rou!

Lady Gerheade.

If you won't stop, then I'll...

You'll k*ll me, huh?

Yeah. Yeah, that's good, too. Do it.

Lady Gerheade. Hurry!

Hurry and k*ll him! k*ll him now!

I'm your enemy! Come on. k*ll me!

Don't just stand there, Rou. Hurry up and finish them off!

Still trying to get away? You little bugs!

Stop.

-First your wings, then your legs! -That's enough!

Brother, I suppose this must be my punishment.

What the hell, Rou?

Stop--

You fool, why didn't you k*ll me?

When I spoke to you about my brother,

I saw suppressed rage and grief within you,

and also a face.

The face of a girl who looked like me.

She was a childhood friend from the same village as me.

Whenever she was being teased, I'd swoop in to save her.

I always thought

that someday when we grew up, we'd fall in love and be together.

But she d*ed before she even grew up.

They suddenly att*cked the village...

and slaughtered everyone.

Without any reason or explanation, not a single word.

The four of us had gone to the mountains to train as hunters,

so we weren't in the village.

If I had to come up with a reason,

it might be because we'd taken in a wounded Demon

who had collapsed on the road and took care of him in the village.

I still remember him. He was a good guy.

We cried and cried,

and when our tears had run dry, we all swore.

To get revenge on Stigma.

We honed our sword skills for that reason alone,

and now we've finally had our revenge.

And we lived happily ever after.

Do you think she might be a little happy about this, too?

Rou, you...

What I did isn't any different than what they did.

You're a terrible liar, aren't you?

I wonder what Meliodas will think when he sees this.

He's a good guy who said he trusted me.

Your brother...

will probably k*ll me immediately.

Don't worry...

I'll explain everything to my brother.

I've committed an unforgivable sin, too.

I just want this Holy w*r to be over.

I wanted it to end so much

that I stayed silent, and looked the other way

throughout all of Ludociel's cruelty.

Don't talk anymore.

Why are you laughing?

Because the face of your childhood friend that keeps coming to your heart

looks exactly like me.

It's as if you've been thinking about me this whole time.

It feels strange.

It makes my heart feel really warm.

I wonder what this feeling is.

You need to have those wounds treated right away.

It can't be.

No.

Gerheade.

Rou.

Take those hands off my sister.

Brother, it's not what you think.

It's all right.

You don't have to worry about me.

I couldn't protect her again!

Rou. No. Please, hurry and run.

Live, Gerheade.

No!

You can leave the forest to me while you're away.

Don't give me that.

Is it that strange for a sister to worry about her older brother?

How dare you.

The next time I'm reborn, I swear I'll protect you.

No matter what form I take.

Stop.

Don't go alone.

See you, Gerheade.

Rou.

What's so funny?

What's so funny?

Don't act tough. I know this must be driving you crazy.

Ban knew that you were my brother,

so he deliberately egged you on and let you spear him.

No. I'm not going to k*ll you.

Wait, this place is... Diane?

So that was your choice, huh?

Lord Gloxinia, what was that just now?

Just as you saw.

I was unable to restrain myself, and k*lled Rou.

After I k*lled him, my rage and grief wouldn't subside,

so I directed it at all humans,

and at Stigma, who had failed to protect my sister,

and before I knew it, I was fighting as a member of the Ten Commandments.

I didn't even know my sister was alive.

Well, I never even checked.

I'm the worst big brother ever.

No, as far as being the worst big brother, I'm not losing either.

Is that something to compete over?

So, why didn't you k*ll Rou?

True evil isn't all that prevalent, is it?

At least, the people I've fought against until now

have all had their respective reasons.

A guy could be a scumbag to me,

but he might be someone irreplaceable to my sister.

Isn't that the same for you?

Just maybe, in Gerheade's eyes, Rou might've been...

When I thought about that...

Your naivete makes me worry about the upcoming w*r.

True evil actually does exist.

So I'm going to try with all I have to uncover it and fight.

To protect the one I love.

You pass.

Was that the real Holy w*r I just experienced?

Or was it all an illusion?

It was the real thing.

If you were k*lled in that world,

the body left behind here would've d*ed, too.

Depending on the circumstances,

it's possible you could've d*ed before reaching the trial.

Then was I able to return because I made the right choice?

To be precise, it was because you made a different choice than me.

History isn't something that you can easily distort at will.

If you try to make a drastic change to your fate in the flow of time,

a power that corrects history activates,

and you're forcibly sent back to the world you came from.

So if you'd made the same choice as me

you could've been consumed by rage,

followed the same path that I did, and been trapped forever, never to return.

But you chose the path I couldn't and came back.

This should mean that you've been led to immense growth.

Diane, no matter what...

No matter what, please make it back, too.

My body!

Drole, what's happening?

Either a side effect of the Time Regression Spell, or...

Okay, I'm worried about King, so I'll be going.

What are you two going to do?

I told you, didn't I? I'm going to end the Holy w*r.

-A tremendous magical power. -Did they notice?

That was fast. Thank goodness.

This is my job, too. It seems like he's still nearby.

The Executioner is coming!
