02x02 - Our Fighting Festival

[bunniefuu]

I want you to bring Elaine back
from the dead.

We want you to k*ll a certain person.

Did you say "k*ll"?

Currently, he goes by this name…

Seven Deadly Sins, Dragon Sin…

Meliodas.

If I k*ll you,
she'll be brought back to life!

All right.

But for now, just do what
the Seven Deadly Sins' Fox Sin has to do!

I'm ordering you as your captain!

When this is all over,
let's settle things once and for all.

I haven't forgotten our promise.

Tomorrow morning,
at the top of the mountain behind us.

Okay?

Captain…

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!"

-Sorry to keep you--
-Hey, you! Ban!

What?

You're the only one late to this party!

What?

We've been waiting for you!

A festival!

I don't know what to do.
I kind of have the chills!

Oh, right, you missed
the last Fighting Festival, didn't you?

Hey, Ban. I'm here, too.

Hey, Captain! What's going on here?

What's with all these freaking spectators?

Don't ask me.

I mean, by the time I got here,
they were already whooping it up.

Who the hell could have…

Hey! Master!

-What?
-Is this your doing, Master?

You listened to my conversation
with the captain?

Well, it's a fight, after all.
An audience will make the place rock!

Why, you…

Turning my fight into a damn festival!

Sir Ban! Please don't be hard on Hawk!

When he heard you two discussing it,
he asked us all to come.

Because to Hawk,

both you and Sir Meliodas
are so very dear to--

Elizabeth.

There's no need
to spell it all out, all right?

Fox Sin of Greed, Ban, have you forgotten?

The Seven Deadly Sins' Seven Codes,

Article Six.

"Any fight to the death
between fellow Sins

must be stopped by the other Sins,
working in concert."

If you and the captain are planning
to fight to the death for real…

then the four of us
will use all our might to purge you!

What the hell?

Hey, Merlin! I dare you to say that again!

We'll purge you.

Interesting!

But right now,
my only business is with the captain.

So all of you gawkers,
shut up and back off.

You could've saved your breath.
I'm not planning to fight to the death.

The Seven Deadly Sins' Seven Codes,
Article Five.

"Any bad blood between fellow Sins
must be settled through a fight," right?

I see, then we won't do
anything uncivilized.

Who knew we had a code like that?

You were the one
who thought it up, Captain!

In that case, if you're going to fight,

let's see you go no-holds-barred.

Perfect Cube!

This is unreal!

Now you can brawl freely without worrying
about collateral damage, right?

Not to mention, we can sit back
and watch with no fear.

The captain of the Seven Deadly Sins
and his fellow Sin going one-on-one?

We might never get to see that ever again!

A clash between the two heroes
who saved the kingdom…

I'm stoked!

Actually, I'm the one
who saved the kingdom, but hey.

Ban! Better not lose
or I'll never forgive you!

This will be a sight to see, Howzer!

-Yes, well, it's nothing new to me.
-Don't say that!

Even among the Seven Deadly Sins, who
grace the top echelon in the Holy Knights,

those two are said
to be exceptionally gifted fighters.

-This is not good!
-What's wrong, Gil?

-I can't stop my heart from pounding!
-What?

Okay. Good for you.

-Has it started yet?
-Don't lose to Ban!

All right. Come at me, Captain!

All right, I'm not holding back, okay?

Ban!

Sir Meliodas!

Oh, no!

Ban got the better of him!

No!

It's a draw!

-Did you see that?
-Holy crap!

No, it happened so fast
I couldn't see anything!

So this is a Fighting Festival…

Wait. Are you crying?

Yes.

Well, those two were your childhood idols.

They're amazing.
Those two are just beyond--

Both of you!
What's with the fooling around?

He's right!

If you're going to settle
the score by fighting,

just do it without holding back!

They're both only fighting
at % of their strength.

You mean that's not them going all-out?

-Got to give them props!
-Seriously?

I've got to get myself loose
or I'll end up getting hurt!

Oh, and one more thing…

this fight is strictly between Ban and me.

If you make too much of a ruckus,
I'm going to knock you all into next week!

Sorry.

The captain's mad at us.

Sir Meliodas…

-But you are the sole exception!
-What?

Root for me like there's no tomorrow!

Sir Meliodas!

Sir Meliodas!

For God's sake…

Where in the world
did Elizabeth run off to?

Sire.

Did you see something?

"What if they end up
k*lling each other for real?"

Is that what you're thinking?

You don't have to worry.

Because we won't let that happen,
no matter what!

Right!

Don't worry.

If anything happens to you, you've got me.

-Diane--
-Diane!

What?

What the--

Damn it!

Why, you little…

Hey! Cut that out!

You cut it out!

Howzer! What are you doing?

Hey!

-Hey, what's going on?
-Another fight just broke out!

Now, now, simmer down, you two!
You lovesick young pups!

What?

What do you say?

How about you take this opportunity

to settle the score
by fighting fair and square?

Yes, you can count me in!

Me, too!

Hey! Over here, we've got the Seven Deadly
Sins' King against the Holy Knight Howzer!

Are you serious? Awesome!

Oh, man…

A fight with King?

Damn it! I'm so jealous of Howzer!

What's up with those two?

What are those guys up to?

What the hell are you looking at, Captain?

That's what I like to see.

Ice-cold ale for sale!

Ale tastes even better
when you're watching a fight!

Three silver coins a pint!

Hey, I'll have one!

I'll have one, too!

You got it!

Jeez. I'm so busy, I'm in hog heaven!

Who would have thought we would get to see
a Seven Deadly Sin battle this close?

All right, let's get this started!

Right!

Hold on a second!

-No instruments allowed!
-What?

You're fighting man-to-man, right?

That's common sense!
Just look at those two!

Of course, a fistfight will suffice!

Now then, let's get started!

Sure!

King…

Will he be okay?

King… The Fairy King.

This is the first time
I've seen him fight without a w*apon!

This is not good!
I can't hold back my excitement!

This is a Fairy Clan battle dance,
handed down throughout the ages.

For the one I love, I shall unveil it now!

Dancing Fairy!

DANCING FAIRY

-What the…
-What the…

Take this!

You really are a Holy Knight!
Such immense power!

So weak!

That was easy!

King, are you all right?

Diane…

Let's go.

Okay!

Diane…

That was shocking!

-Come on, King, I can't see!
-You don't have to see that!

Elizabeth, are you okay?

I feel light-headed.

What do you say, Ban? Are you done?

The festival is just getting started!

Hunter Fest!

HUNTER FEST

-Ban! What are you going to do?
-He's going to steal his power again!

-Merlin?
-Where did she go?

What kind of move was that?

That's strange.

My legs feel so limp all of a sudden.

Something is wrong.

-What?
-Something is wrong.

All the strength in my body…

What the heck is going on here?

Elizabeth! What's wrong?

I'm all right.

It's just that all my strength
seems to be sapped from my body.

Same here.

Ban! So you had a secret ace-in-the-hole?

Why didn't you take my power?

Even if I took it, you have
your own ace-in-the-hole, don't you?

And besides, those gawkers
were starting to get on my nerves.

What an incredible move.

Everyone here has been robbed
of more than % of their strength.

This will be quite the spectacle.

Ban…

Come on now, Captain.
Show me your ace-in-the-hole!

So I have no choice?

Guess I'll humor you, then!

-Caught between the wall and the punches!
-He's going to get k*lled!

That Ban…

I never thought…

that he would go after Meliodas for real!

But, no…

Sir Ban!

Please stop hitting him! That's enough!

Sir Meliodas…

Elizabeth…

Ban…

Ban!

Elaine…

Elaine would never want this!

Shut up!

-You don't have to tell me that!
-What?

Ban…

There's no longer a reason
for this battle.

Incomprehensible.

But extremely interesting.

I can take of those!

Fox Hunt!

FOX HUNT

Nothing compares to battling it out
with you, right, Captain?

Yes, right back at you!

The strength in my body…

…is back!

So who won in the end?

But if we've regained
the power Ban stole from us…

Man, I'm wiped.

Captain, are you alive?

Yes, just barely.

Man, that hurts.

What about you? Are you alive?

Well, of course, you wouldn't die, right?

But I'm so drained from using my skills,
I won't be moving any time soon.

Looks like we'll have
to settle the score another time.

Yes, looks like it.

Oh, man, that was thrilling!

-Although we did go through hell…
-Yes.

So we had antagonized people
such as those.

Terrifying…

You think so?
That wasn't anything to write home about!

-Says the guy who peed his pants.
-What?

Jeez, I seriously can't keep up
with those two.

But thank goodness they're both all right!

Who's all right?

Master, let me lean on you!

That's just not happening!

Elizabeth, is something wrong?

Sir Meliodas,
you simply went too far today!

You made her mad.

Hey. Come on. What's your problem, guys?

How cold is that? Am I right, Ban?

You said it!

Hey, Captain.

Yes?

About the other day…

The other day?

When I…

For her sake, I went after you…

Oh, what about it?

Forget it. It's nothing.

What?

Hey, what about that Goddess?

Oh, if you're talking about that horn,
I demolished it.

-Why?
-What do you mean "why"?

That was no mere horn.
Blowhard is more like it!

Hey, that's a good one!

I know Bartra is going
to rip me a new one, though!

By the way, Captain,

I've had something
on my mind for a while now.

Hey, what a coincidence!
I had the same thought!

-I could use a drink!
-I could use a drink!

So tell me…

This gray bird shaped like an arm,
which direction was it coming from?

I think it was coming from Liones.

Liones?

Do you know which way it went?

Well…

It was flying weakly, but…

Probably toward Zhuhur Valley,
but nobody ever goes near there

since there are rumors
about scary monsters living there.

I see.

Thank you.

I am grateful.

I told you so!

I lost the battle and won the w*r!

Of course, I'm the winner!

Enough nonsense!

Next time on
The Seven Deadly Sins: Signs of Holy w*r,

"In Pursuit of First Love."

King! Howzer!

What are you two holding?
