03x10 - What We Lacked

[bunniefuu]

In Istar, the Druids' Holy Land,

Meliodas undergoes a trial
to recover a power he once wielded.

After intense suffering,
he overcomes the trial,

keeping his love for Liz in his heart.

Meanwhile, arriving
in his hometown, Ravens,

Ban runs into a Werefox
on the brink of death.

Scenes from his childhood flash
through his mind.

What was it that happened in Ban's past?

Gosh. I could've sworn we were inside
the Cave of Training just a moment ago.

When did you all arrive in Istar?

If I had been even one second late
in realizing it was you guys,

you would've been history, Little Gil!

Thanks, Hawk.

"Hawk"?

Sir Hawk!

Hendrickson.

No matter what your reasons were,
I'll never forgive you!

And if you remember what you did
to Helbram, then it's obvious why!

I eventually intend
to accept the consequences.

"Eventually"?

Please allow me some time.

Until I've protected Liones
and all of Britannia

and rescued Dreyfus
from the Ten Commandments' grasp.

Who cares about any of that?

There'll be time for small talk later!

All right, everyone,
time for some rigorous training!

This is a tale of ancient times,

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

The ,-year-old seal has been broken.

The Demon Clan's elite troops,
the Ten Commandments, now awakened,

are about to bury Britannia
in blood and fear.

Rising up to counter this thr*at
is a group of great sinners,

a legendary order of knights.

They are called the Seven Deadly Sins.

Are you all right?

Now I can finally be reunited
with my sons.

You have sons, old man?

Yes.

I have two cherished sons.

They are already waiting for me
in the next world.

You have a son?

Yes.

A little kid who's about your age.

Ban, how old are you?

I don't know, dumbass.

"Dumbass"?

You should have some of this, too!
It tastes so damn good!

You have quite the foul mouth.

Didn't your parents teach you better?

Listen, Ban.

This hideout is our secret, you got that?

Yes, I got you, you piece of crap!

Hey, now…

What's the big idea, Ban?

I told you to go steal some food.
Who said you could eat it?

You piece of crap!

It was given to me.

Don't you dare…

talk back!

Oh, how disgusting! Do that outside!

Get out! Damn it!

Dear, do you see that?

What are you looking at?

This sucks.

-Oh, my! Ban!
-What?

Fancy meeting you here!

-We have a wonderful job for you!
-Yes!

What do you say?
You'll make yourself some money!

A gold coin, just to get in that barrel?

It's fake.

-Forget that! Just get inside that barrel!
-Let go of me!

Stop--

Let me out of here! Damn you!

Hey!

-Hey, darling.
-Yes?

Lady Roxanne's really going to
buy him from us, right?

Oh, yes!

That noblewoman really loves kids.

If we can get a good deal,
she'll buy him for or gold coins!

Really?

And then, in the end,
she always tortures and murders them!

In other words,
the demand is never-ending!

Oh, my! How frightening!

Open up!

Not happening!
There's no way you can move my backside.

Hey, who are you?

You cargo thief!

Please spare us!

So this time you nearly
got yourself sold to some noble?

Zhivago?

What?

Piece of crap.

The word is "thanks," okay?

Thanks?

That's right.

Well, not that it matters.

I mean, I stole all of this as well.

-Zhivago?
-Yes?

No more "piece of crap," okay?

Teach me how to steal.

Ban, do you understand what that means?

If you start stealing,

that means you'll never be able
to make an honest living in Human society.

Then…

why do you…

steal…

Your stomach is full, so you got sleepy?

If you're sleepy, go to sleep.

If you don't get enough sleep,
you'll never grow up.

If I fall asleep,
he'll kick me in the stomach.

I see.

Then I'll guard you.

Okay.

Hey, what's your son like?

His name's Selion, and although he's shy,
he's a sweet little kid.

And then my other son has a mean stare,
spiky hair, and his name is Ban.

How come you only go home to him at night?

Because if I go back and forth too often,
the Knights will find out where I live.

Does Selion know that you steal?

Yes.

Both he and I have accepted our fate.

Ban.

Don't ever trust Humans.

I trust you, Zhivago!

Seriously! What a dummy you are!

All right, go to bed!
We have an early start for tomorrow's job.

So this mansion's our target today?

Zhivago's late.

I know!

Maybe I'll steal the treasure by myself
before Zhivago gets here!

Don't you think that will surprise him?
Maybe he will praise me?

-It's an intruder!
-Oh, crap!

Zhivago…

I'm sorry, Zhivago!

Trying to do it on my own. I'm sorry.

Hey, is something the matter?

No.

It's strange, young man.

But when I look at your eyes,
I'm reminded of my son's face.

Your son?

But a Beastman's son
would be a Beastman, right?

It was more than years ago.

I'm sure the kid hates me.

Even after being betrayed
and hurt by Humans,

I can't believe
that he would trust only me.

He told me so himself, but I…

I…

Damn it, I overslept!

I just hope that
Ban didn't start without me!

Hey, you brat!

I knew it!

That dummy!

-Ban!
-Hey!

I hear a Werefox cub
was spotted in the mountains!

To the mountains, to hunt it down!

Selion!

Be careful, Dad. Hurry up and come home!

Dad!

Zhivago!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

-It's a Beastman!
-I'm sorry, Ban!

I trust you, Zhivago!

Dad…

You came back…

I'm the most vile man there is.

That day,
if I hadn't made the wrong choice,

I might not have ended up
losing everything.

You weren't wrong about anything.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Even if you had saved me,

if I found out
that you had abandoned your real son,

I never would have forgiven you.

What?

I never hated you, not once.

To me, you were the ideal father.

Zhivago!

Ban…

When did you get so damned big?

All right, everyone,
time for rigorous training!

To be honest,
I'm not really in the mood right now.

Well, fine, then.

Although I doubt the Ten Commandments care
whether you're in the mood or not!

Oslo!

That's a Black Hound! How rare!

I thought they had gone extinct!

That's one dumb-looking mutt.

All right, everyone who wishes to train,
head to the entrance!

Oh, and don't forget
to remove all your equipment.

The best way to feel
and draw out the latent power within you

is to strip down, after all.

All equipment, disabled!

I never said to remove your pants.

That said,
only the bare minimum is necessary.

Everybody, take one of these.

It's just an ash staff protected
by magical power,

but its durability is guaranteed.

Is everyone ready?

Now then, step inside!

All right, you guys, follow me!

Don't get lost!

They can train us however they want,

but for Sir Hawk,
it will be mere child's play!

Isn't that right, you swine?

Where did everyone go?

How could you leave me all by myself?

Light. So you're all over there?

Wait for me!

What? We're paired up again?

That's my line.

-It's starting already?
-Here it comes!

Lightning King Iron Hammer!

Rising Tornado!

It's really strong!

Not only does lightning
barely have any effect,

but it's also very heavy
that wind can't even budge it!

We don't stand a chance
with the output from these sticks!

We should have better weapons!

But then there wouldn't be
any point to this training!

Then how are we supposed to win?

At the very least, we can't b*at it
if we fight the way we always do.

That doesn't really answer my question.

-We'll just have to do something reckless!
-Idiot!

That's exactly how we lost last time!

Our chances are still zero
even if we take it seriously, moron!

You never take anything seriously!

You're too much of a straight arrow!

Hey, Little Gil.

You're too much
of a straight arrow, you know.

If you stick to the standard forms,
you'll never get stronger.

Make your mind more flexible!

Howzer, you don't take things seriously.

To find a way to win, it's important to
remain composed and remember proper form.

Howzer, there's something
I would like to try.

What a coincidence. Same here!

Channel your power into the point!

I'm channeling my power into the point!

Still, I can barely inflict any damage
with this wooden stick.

In that case…

I'll channel my magical power
into the point!

Breakthrough!

Listen up, Little Gil.

On the b*ttlefield, anything goes.

I'm going to cover my w*apon in lightning,

and my body
with the surplus magical power!

Full body armor!

Heavy Armor of the Thunder Emperor!

Oh, wow. So Mr. Straight Arrow
just disregarded proper form!

In such a short time,
they altered their Power Levels…

They're quite an intriguing pair.

If lightning barely affects you,

I'll keep scorching you with it
until it does!

Embrace of the Thunder God!

You've got this, Gil!

Right!

Where are we?

Where's the Clay Dragon?

Don't tell me, once again we…

Too bad you let up at the very end.

The tactics you displayed along the way
were dazzling.

But still, you did a good job.

I'm sure you carved out a foothold
for the next step!

We did it!

Yes!

All right, next time
let's improve our focus to…

Look how splendid and capable
those two runts have become.

Really…

I'm so glad I didn't end up k*lling them.

That said, there's certainly enough blood
on my hands, Dreyfus!

I heard what happened.

You rescued Little Gil,
Howzer, and the others.

Thank you for that, Hendrickson.

Sure.

Did its body just split up?

Most likely, it's a type of golem.

It stopped moving!

How did you do that?

Jack. I took control of its body.

I order you.
Turn around once and then bow.

Sir Gowther!

No need to worry about me.

Apparently, this isn't
an autonomous golem,

but simply a piece of junk
being controlled by someone else.

Someone else? Where are they?

The king-and-doll team
is having a harder time than I thought!

Good luck, boys!

Jenna?

Will you let me
into the Cave of Training, too?

What changed your mind?

I thought you weren't in the mood
for any training.

It's to make sure
I can definitely save Diane.

Fighting the Ten Commandments, there's no
chance of winning the way things are now.

In that case, want to go in with Hendy?

What?

It's customary to enter
the Cave of Training in pairs.

-You're kidding--
-I'll go in with him!

Captain!

All right, you two, go in.

Did you get your power back?

No. Before I can get it back,
I have to rehabilitate my body a little.

Go ahead and choose one
of the Goddess Ambers floating in there.

There are various kinds
of monsters inside.

Which do you want, Captain?

-Hey, King.
-Yes?

Do you think you can be a little more
open-minded about Hendrickson?

What do you mean?

Are you telling me to forgive him?

I'm not saying that.

There's no denying
that what he did is unforgivable,

and I completely understand how you feel.

But…

he was being controlled
the entire time by Fraudrin,

who possessed Dreyfus's body
ten years ago.

There was nothing that could've been done.

You mean, if you're being controlled,
nothing you do is considered a sin?

Anyway, who's this Fraudrin?

One of the Ten Commandments.

The Ten Commandments. Right.

And then there's also
Galand and Monspiet, right?

Why do you know so much
about the Ten Commandments,

who were sealed , years ago?

What is it you want to say, King?

You're a member
of the Demon Clan like them, right?

Hey, Meliodas.

Are you really our ally?

TEACH US, MR. HAWK!

Hey, Ban!

What is it, Master?

Don't give me that! Look at this!

What? Is there a problem?

"Is there a problem?"

I don't care how miserable you were,

don't eat nicer food than me!

What?

All I get is leftovers!
That looked so tasty!

Want this yakisoba dog?

Next time on The Seven Deadly Sins:
Revival of The Commandments,

"Father and Son."

Leftovers are nicer.

CAPTAIN…

SEE YOU NEXT TIME!
