02x04 - The Shape of Love

[bunniefuu]

We've been getting
fewer customers lately, haven't we?

I mean, scraps are so hard to come by now,

I'm going to be skin and bones soon!

What could the reason be?

Because your cooking
is so horrible, of course!

Now, Hawk…

All right! Why don't I use that trick?

I've got a great idea!

Pelliot, finish your meal
and help me get ready for our move!

Okay.

As usual, you've got all kinds
of weird gadgets here.

So? What do you want from me?

I want you to work as a waitress
at my tavern, too!

Elizabeth and Diane…

And if I can add you, that will give me
the best Boar Hat Poster Girl Sisters!

We'll have so many customers!
No doubt about it!

You're asking me to serve
as a bar's poster girl in that outfit?

Is there no chance?

Captain.

Hey! Gowther, there you are…

Why am I not a part
of the Poster Girl Sisters?

Why not?

Why?

Never mind that.
Why are you wearing the tavern's uniform?

It's a favorite of mine.

-Gowther?
-Fine. I'll do it.

That is, after you've done a favor for me.

This is a tale of ancient times,

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

Hendrickson. Dreyfus.

The battle to reclaim the capital
oppressively ruled

by the two Holy Knight grand masters
has ended.

But the signs of Holy w*r
have yet to be eliminated.

Once again,
a new battle is about to break out.

And that's why they proclaim,
"You have us!"

"You have the Seven Deadly Sins!"

Oh, man, it's another beautiful day--

Keeping the young masters waiting…

What do you mean, "It's a beautiful day"?

Idiot!

That really hurt, Dad!

Stop daydreaming
and go help repair the town like a man!

Okay, you don't have to tell me!

Well, then we'll be off!

Be sure to stop by and visit again soon!

We will!

Jeez.

I hadn't seen your father in ages,
but it's good to know he's doing well.

Looks like you're still no match
for your old man.

Target identified.

All right!

You want us to shadow Little Gil?

To be more specific, I want you to follow
Gilthunder without being detected

and capture whoever has been
stalking him day and night.

Little Gil's being targeted?

He never mentioned anything like that.

This person is quite
a master at the craft.

Even Gilthunder wouldn't pick up on it.

If allowed to escape, this person will
become more cautious and harder to catch.

It's a weird request, but, oh, well!

When I told her I was going off
on a journey, Margaret just nodded.

Oh, you ladies' man, you!

That hurt! What's up with you, Howzer?

Man, you're k*lling me!

Oh, that hurt!

What's wrong, Howzer?

All of a sudden, a shingle from that roof…

It's probably your bad karma
for teasing Gil!

Oh, shut up!

It just had to land
right where the old man hit me!

Still, I have to say,
you and Margaret look so good together!

Hey, don't start teasing me, too.

-Are you all right?
-A chunk of the wall hit me!

Who are you to talk about karma?

Gowther, did you feel that?

Yes.

It was fleeting,
but I sensed magic being activated.

I guess today is not your lucky day.

Oh, my nose!

Damn it!

Let's just go
and get this cleanup over with!

Look out, Howzer!

What the…

What?

Didn't that thing just fall
in a really unnatural way?

Did you do that?

No. Wasn't it you?

I see.

I guessed as much.

You've figured out
who was behind that spell?

More or less.

But we've got
to catch the perp red-handed.

Okay, let's keep shadowing him!

You're sure acting fishy.

Why are you acting so sneaky?

Hey, I bet you're a bad guy, aren't you?

-I am not.
-So fishy! Are you a bandit?

Or someone even more evil?

Oh, why not?

Listen and be astounded.

I am…

the Seven Deadly Sins' Goat Sin Gowther!

Forgive me, little boy.

At the moment,
I'm in the middle of a crucial mission.

Hey! Ask me my name, too!

-But why?
-Just ask me!

What a pain.

What is your name?

Since you're asking, I have no choice.

My name is…

the Seven Deadly Sins' Dragon Sin…

Pelliotdas!

-Bye.
-Hey, hold up! Come on, play with me!

Why should I have to accompany you
in your game?

Hey, don't be like that!

All right, if I play with you for a bit,
will you release me?

Yes! Sure, I will!

All right!

We're going to start
role-playing the Seven Deadly Sins!

But I'm a genuine Seven Deadly Sin.

Wow, you're totally into this, aren't you?

Okay, fellow Sin Gowther.

Let's see…

Go capture him!

You mean that obese cat?

He's notorious
for swiping food, that stray.

No, that's the demonic beast,
Cat-Pig Dragon!

Hey, he ran off! Go after him!

Rewrite Light!

REWRITE LIGHT

What was that?

Capture completed.

Awesome!

Hey, you! Cut that out!

Hey, look at this, Mom!

I am not your mother.

I didn't mean…

Mom used to play with me a lot,
so by mistake, I…

Used to play with you?
She doesn't anymore?

A little while ago, she passed away.

She was sick.

That's why we're moving today
to my dad's hometown.

Is that right?

There's something
I've been wondering about.

Why does your heart rate increase
every time you look at my face?

Heart rate increase?

In other words,
your heart pounds or palpitates.

Because you're the spitting image
of my mom.

I was shocked
and couldn't help running after you.

Because…

I really…

What was your mother like?

Well…

She didn't wear glasses,

and her hair came down to her waist.

She had silky blonde hair.

-My dad and I were so proud of my mom.
-Pelliot, where are you? Pelliot?

Mom was always so gentle.

And in the evenings,
she would always come looking for me.

"Pelliot."

"It's dinnertime, so come home now."

Pelliot?

It's almost dinnertime.

Come on home now.

Mom!

Mom! Don't ever leave me again!

Mom!

-It is--
-Pelliot!

-Dad!
-Hey, Pelliot, what are you doing?

Dad!

It's Mom.

Mom has come back!

-What?
-What's going on here?

Mom was right there just now.

She was there.

Pelliot…

It's not what you think!

That really was Mom!
It's true I'm telling you!

Come on, let's go.

Mom!

I thought I had done something good.
So why does Pelliot look so sad?

I'll ask Captain later.

Did you hear something?

Just our imaginations.

Okay! Let's take a break now.

Oh, boy…

Still, that Gowther, where the heck is he?

Tea for the three of us!

Right!

Seriously, you two,
talk about a disastrous day.

Yes, totally.

But you lucked out today, Gil,
like when that sign came down.

You would think you had
a guardian angel looking after you.

That sounds kind of creepy.

Bring this tea to the man in the middle.

Jeez, that old man…

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Well, here they are!

Hey!

You three punks!

Have you been hard at work
helping to restore the town?

Sir Meliodas!

Oh, man, I've been so busy myself.
My mouth couldn't be dryer!

So anyway, Little Gil,
mind if I have a sip of that?

Oh, sure, be my guest!

Thank you!

Don't drink that!

Who was that?
Where did that voice come from?

A Human?

That was the love potion
that took me three years to make.

How dare you thwart my plans!

Fireball!

Oh, crap! Run!

Full Counter!

FULL COUNTER

Gil…

Vivian!

Just as I thought.

Gil…

Are you all right?

Gil?

What the…

Demon-sealing chains.

Master!

I've got to say, Merlin,
I'm impressed you figured it out.

She is a student of mine, after all.

Now then, as for
how we're going to deal with--

No, punishing Vivian,
let's leave that to Sir Gilthunder.

To me?

That's your right as someone who suffered
so long at this woman's hands.

Since she stole ten years of your life,
want to make Vivian ten years older?

Please don't!

Or shall we turn her into an ugly toad
and toss her out?

No! Not that!

All I…

All I wanted was to be by Gil's side!

That's all I need to be happy!

I forgive you.

If you repent for what you did to Margaret
from the bottom of your heart.

-As if.
-As if.

Even so, when I think that everything
Vivian did was motivated by affection…

I just can't…

Gil…

Affection…

Promise me, Vivian…

that from now on, you'll forget about me
for the rest of your life.

-No!
-Told you!

Anyway, let me release you now
like Sir Gilthunder wants.

Just one thing…

Cursed Engage!

CURSED ENGAGEMENT

What on earth is this?

What?

What's going on?

Sir Gilthunder, say the word "remada."

Remada?

Wait. What is that?

That's a cursed engagement ring
that now controls Vivian.

That one word activates
its demonic powers,

subjecting her to the pain
of being stabbed all over her body.

If Vivian ever tries to cast a spell
on Sir Gilthunder,

the same thing will happen.

That brand will spread
with each use of the ring,

and once it covers
your whole body, you'll die.

By the way,
that ring can never be removed.

A devil…

You're a devil!

You fool. You only realized that now?

Scary!

You were this close
to committing an unforgivable crime.

Spurred on by Hendrickson,
you plotted to resurrect the Demon Clan.

You have no clue
what the Demon Clan even is!

That's not true!

We were practically done
with our research on the Red Demons,

and we almost figured out
the Gray Demons, as well!

Even if they had come back to this world,
we had no shortage of countermeasures!

The Goddess Amber was one of them!

And who, pray tell,
was the one who made that?

You, Master…

A word of warning, then, from its creator.

The Goddess Amber is only capable
of capturing Red and Gray Demons, at most.

What are you talking about?

Aren't there only Red and Gray Demons
in the Demon Clan?

Red Demons, to be sure…

Even the Gray Demons are nothing
but mere foot soldiers in the Demon Clan.

The Demon Clan is teeming
with higher-ranked Demons than those.

Most fearsome of all are the ten Demons
who serve the Demon King.

They're an extraordinarily powerful group
called the Ten Commandments.

If they were ever resurrected,

they would seize control of Britannia
on the spot.

You're scaring her too much.

All I did was state the facts.

Now then, dear Captain,

since you've fulfilled my request…

It feels like we've lost.

It's perfect on you, Lady Merlin!

I don't know.
Is it the allure of a mature woman?

-No doubt.
-Yes.

Hey, King! I'm short on ingredients.

Run out and buy some!

All right!

But really, the place is full!

Why are they so elated?

Surely this isn't that different
from my usual outfit.

No!

It looks quite good on you, Lady Merlin!

Can I accept that compliment
at face value?

Of course!

What's this?

Those two look pretty chummy, all right!

Elizabeth will be jealous, you know!

Right?

Hawk!

Needless to say,
it looks the best on you, Elizabeth!

Thank you very much!

From now on, you'll sing and dance
as the Boar Hat Poster Girl Sisters!

And then business will boom for sure!

-What?
-Sing and dance?

My dear Captain…

surely you haven't incorporated me
into this song and dance routine as well?

Of course, you're in it!

I quit. Effective immediately.

Oh, Merlin! Don't be so cold, okay?

Who cares about that anyway?

The Boar Hat already has
the ultimate poster boy…

Lord Hawk, remember?

Yes, that's right.

What's with that look on your face?

Humans are complicated.

Their emotions look simple,
yet are complex.

That's precisely why I need to understand.

There you are, Gowther!

Thanks to Meliodas, Merlin bailed on us.

We're shorthanded, so come with me!

Roger that.

I'll be going on ahead!

Not that these are Human hands.

-Look! Another poster girl showed up!
-What?

-What?
-What?

The Boar Hat's fourth Poster Girl,
Gowther, is here!

The Boar Hat's Immortal Scraps Star,
Lord Hawk is here!

-Rejected.
-Rejected.

But why?

Gil…

-Gil!
-Seriously…

The shadow of the Ten Commandments?

A sign?

His Highness's magical power…

Vision.

Through obscure words and visuals,
he is able to see what the future holds.

With almost % accuracy.

Actually, there's one more omen.

Bartra, what did you see?

According to that vision,
in a kingdom to the south…

The south?

An emerging nation to the south…

where a monstrous thr*at is now closing in
on the capital Camelot.

With your wedge-like embrace
and your wedge-like kiss,

release his disciples.

Break the seal that binds his followers.

O shining drop that harbors
the power of the Goddesses,

break the curse of the Demons!

From the valley of eternity…

From the other side of oblivion…

From infinite slumber…

Disappear…

innocent curse!

It had…

already begun.
