03x05 - Overwhelming v*olence

[bunniefuu]

The trial imposed by the Ten Commandments.

King and Diane were turned into Gloxinia and Drole

and sent to Britannia , years ago.

Unfolding there was a Holy w*r between the Demon race and Stigma,

an alliance between the Goddess, Giant, and Fairy races.

Meanwhile, because their comrades were m*rder*d,

Derieri and Monspiet are in a rage.

Gowther and Melascula are operating in secret.

As the Holy w*r grows fiercer,

the one who stands in Derieri and Monspiet's way is...

Elizabeth.

Hey, Meliodas, what are those monsters?

That's the form a Ten Commandment takes when it sacrifices six of its own hearts,

Indura.

Once that happens, it's over.

They'll spread destruction until they die.

No way! We have to do something! At this rate, Britannia will be...

The only way to stop them would be

to either wait until they've b*rned up the remainder of their life and die, or...

Lady Elizabeth, let us join forces so we can bring down these ugly beasts!

No.

I will save them!

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 FIVE: EMOTIONAL MAELSTROM

Let there be light!

Lady Elizabeth! Are out of your mind?

They're not worth saving at all!

k*lling them will reduce the thr*at to the Goddess race-- No, all of the races!

Which should end the Holy w*r as well.

They're transforming into something more sinister-looking!

The darkness inside them is desperately resisting Elizabeth's light.

You'll be pushed back.

I'm not giving up!

She's getting pushed.

Well, those are the monsters that easily overwhelmed us, the Four Archangels.

I can't participate in this farce any longer.

I'm going to k*ll them now while I have the chance.

No!

Stop it! Ludociel!

Meliodas!

When did he...

Leave this to me.

Meliodas, thank you.

I may not have the right to say "I'm sorry."

Since it might as well be my fault that your comrades have d*ed.

What are you saying, Lady Elizabeth?

What worth does the Demon race have that merits saving?

Worth? Tell me, who decides what worth someone has?

Is it something that someone gets to decide?

The morning's light and the night's shadows both fall onto everyone equally.

On Humans,

on the Giant race, on the Fairy race...

on the Goddess race, and...

on the Demon race as well.

Enough of this impertinence!

The Supreme Deity will never forgive you for this!

I have no intention of seeking anyone's forgiveness!

Sariel! Tarmiel! Get over here now!

The three of us will destroy the Ten Commandments, as well as Meliodas!

Shall we?

Okay!

You two!

Can't you tell?

We will act according to our own will.

Elizabeth! Go!

Are they...

They're back to their original form, thanks to you.

Thank goodness.

I will not allow them to live!

Stop it!

Lord Drole! Lord Gloxinia! Why would you get in my way?

I'm trying to defeat the Ten Commandments in the name of justice!

So unfair!

Dealing a death blow to opponents who can't move seems unfair to me!

Ludociel, I think what you're saying is reasonable.

As expected, I knew you'd understand, Fairy King.

Nothing in a w*r with casualties should be considered unfair.

But I can't disregard Lady Elizabeth's actions that risked her life to save them.

Drole! Gloxinia! I thank you.

And Sariel and Tarmiel.

Thanks to you guys, too!

I don't want your gratitude.

We're Lady Elizabeth's allies, and that's all there is to it.

But are you sure about this, Meliodas?

The Ten Commandments aren't the type to become our allies because you saved them.

They might come to k*ll you one day.

Well, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

You really haven't changed in all this time, have you?

Nerobasta, this is an emergency.

Call for reinforcements at once.

Call him! Call Mael!

Nerobasta! Answer me!

Nerobasta!

This entire time, what have I been...

What are you doing?

Open the gate to the Celestial Realm immediately!

Yes!

Ten Commandments?

Gowther of Selflessness!

Melascula of Faith.

When did they get to the Light of Grace?

Soon, I'll transform this into a gate to the Demon Realm.

Oh! Such masterful work!

It's like that fury engulfing the air was never there.

Did they defeat the Ten Commandments?

The Fairy King and his allies defeated them!

That means victory is closer to being ours, huh?

I wonder how many of the Demon race they defeated? , ? , ?

No, it has to be more than that!

What's the matter? You look pale.

Oh no.

Are you uneasy about having a Human like me as your guard?

Oh no, that's not it.

I was just thinking.

Don't worry about being polite.

After all, your older brother's the Fairy King.

What kind of brother is he?

He's such a kind person.

Whenever I'm in trouble, he always rushes to my side.

What is it?

It's nothing.

Stigma comrades, can you hear me?

This is an emergency.

Divine Lance Corporal?

The Light of Grace has been taken over by the Ten Commandments.

The Light of Grace has been...

When did that happen?

Everyone, please storm the Light of Grace immediately.

There are two Ten Commandments.

But with our strength, against the Ten Commandments...

No matter how great the sacrifice, we must defeat the Ten Commandments.

The two of them likely aren't warrior types.

We should be able to overwhelm them with our numbers!

Did you hear that, everyone?

Guess we have no choice.

Let's defeat the Ten Commandments and take back the Light of Grace!

So it's finally our turn, huh?

Sir Rou?

Pretty cocky for a Human who's joined at the last minute.

Are you saying that you're going to defeat the Ten Commandments?

That's not quite it.

What happened?

That guy... That guy did it!

That Human!

You! I won't forgive you!

Don't let him get near the Light of Grace!

We're not letting you past here until the gate to the Demon Realm opens.

Damn you, were you in league with the Demon race all along?

We just happened to share the same goal with the Demon race.

We only have one goal.

To annihilate all of you!

King! This is...

I'm getting a bad feeling.

It seems like something has happened at the Light of Grace.

We're heading back now, okay?

Wait, I'll come with you.

No, you stay here and protect Elizabeth and those two.

All right. Leave it to me.

Something troublesome is heading this way.

Did you say something?

I was wrong, wasn't I?

In the future, the Ten Commandments will stand in our way,

but I asked him to protect them.

No, you did the right thing, King.

I'm sure everyone has their reasons for fighting,

but there's nobody who's bad just because they were born.

Anyone who saw their precious friends being k*lled in front of them would...

I couldn't forgive them, either.

Diane.

Meliodas.

Even the captain must have some kind of complicated reason.

And yet, I rejected him so adamantly just because he's from the Demon race.

Glasses.

There!

Why is he in this world?

Who are you?

My name is Gowther.

Nice to meet you, Fairy King Gloxinia and Giant King Drole.

Any information about the two of you,

including things you don't even know yourselves, is right here.

How was that? Didn't that seem especially villainous?

Jeez! What's with this kid? He's throwing me off!

Thanks for the excellent reaction.

In any event, these trivial interactions are so pleasant.

Forgive me. I had no ill will.

No, that's not Gowther.

I'm not Gowther?

What do you mean?

I can't say for sure.

But you're somehow different from the one I know.

In other words, you know a me that I don't know?

What an interesting topic.

Gowther? I'm going to close it.

I'd like to focus on completing the gate right now.

That's...

Yes, you can close it, Melascula.

Treat me to five barrels of alcohol later, okay?

Roger that.

Was that one of the Ten Commandments?

Gowther, why are you with the Ten Commandments?

You're a strange pair.

To think that you know I'm Gowther, but don't know I'm a Ten Commandment.

You're a Ten Commandment?

You're a member of the Seven Deadly Sins!

King, more importantly, we have to hurry to the Light of Grace!

A lot of magical power is rapidly vanishing as we speak.

Brother.

What was that for?

Don't get in our way, Gowther!

I can't allow you to go near that tower until the gate is complete.

Forgive me.

That's not how someone acts when they're apologizing.

His magical power can affect your mind. Be careful.

Diane, the person responsible for erasing your memories...

is him.

Then give me back my memories!

That's not it, Diane!

He was the one who stole your memories,

but I meant the Gowther , years from now.

I have no idea what's going on.

I'm meeting you for the first time right now.

Let's see, we're not the real Giant King and Fairy King,

I mean, our bodies are real, but our minds are in a different place, and...

We came from , years in the future.

It's up to you whether you believe us or not.

I see. Intriguing!

I'd love to hear that story firsthand!

-Firsthand? -Firsthand?

It's almost time, huh?

The gate to the Demon Realm will open soon.

Why?

Why hasn't anyone charged in?

At this rate, the gate to the Demon Realm will...

What is this?

This...

is wrong.

This is wrong.

What did I...

What did I create?

I had no intention of creating this.

Gowther!

You manipulated me, didn't you?

This isn't the gate to the Demon Realm!

This is...

This is a gate to the Demon Realm's prison, isn't it?

You made it so I'd leave the battle and come to this tower alone,

and made me create this thing!

Answer me, Gowther!

From the moment this plan was decided,

I took the liberty of controlling things a bit.

Forgive me.

I did this to gain my freedom.

Don't you da--

Be quiet.

Or the Demon King will notice.

My body. I can't move.

Has it been years since I was last outside?

Just like I remember, the outside world is such a nice place.

Just like I remember, the outside world is such a nice place.

What happened to him all of a sudden?

Who has he been talking to?

Oh sorry. I was thinking out loud.

You're...

You did...

Oh, that's right, Melascula.

This is your first time meeting the real me, right?

I am Gowther.

I can hear it.

Rage.

Sorrow.

Fear.

Pain.

So many violent emotions are chaotically blooming.

What are emotions but the proof of one's worthiness to be alive?

The expl*si*n of emotions is art!

You won't be forgiven, Gowther.

Leaving without the Demon King's permission...

We're in the middle of a Holy w*r right now!

I couldn't care less about the Holy w*r.

I don't have a shred of interest in it.

You probably wouldn't understand at all,

but 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.

Doll?

Then...

what about the real Gowther?

But I'm at my limit in that regard.

I'm going to bid this world farewell.

Bye-bye!
