03x20 - Pursuit of Hope

[bunniefuu]

In order to defeat Gloxinia and Drole,

Meliodas takes part in the Great Fighting
Festival, knowing that it's a trap.

But just before he can claim victory,

the Ten Commandments
unleash a combined as*ault,

and Meliodas falls in defeat.

It's because…

I love you.

Brings back memories, right, Meliodas?

Let me hear your voice some more.

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.

For a moment there,
I was nervous about what might happen,

so well done, Estarossa.

Gloxinia, perfect timing.

Would you fix my body?

I suppose,

but after this, I shouldn't use
Droplet of Life for a while.

Spirit Spear Basquias.

Seventh Configuration, Moon Rose.

Droplet of Life.

Hey, Estarossa.

Bottom line, are you sure?

I've been sensing
a strange gaze focused on us.

It's very likely
that it's Meliodas's party.

So the question is,
can we afford to leave them alone?

Right.

Looks like they got away.

They found out!

The Seven Deadly Sins.

Meliodas's new comrades.

When will you betray them?

The same way you,
the leader of the Ten Commandments,

deserted the rest of us.

The strength and callousness
you showed back then was devastating.

Everyone recognized you as the one
fit to become the next Demon King.

Even we were helpless against
the Goddess Clan, but they feared you,

and tried to avoid you.

You were my idol, as well.

But then, you unexpectedly betrayed us,

wreaked havoc on the Demon Realm,
and vanished.

After murdering the two Commandments
who were with you, that is.

Until Drole and Gloxinia
joined us later on,

you left two empty spots
in the Ten Commandments.

The balance maintained between the Demon
Clan and the Goddess Clan was shattered,

and seeing it as their chance,

the Goddess Clan incited the other races

to eliminate the Demon Clan
once and for all.

It was you
who started that w*r , years ago.

Tell me, will you?

How do you come up
with such delightful ideas?

No way…

The captain?

So this time, it's the Seven Deadly Sins
instead of the Ten Commandments?

Deep down,

I bet you're full of anticipation,
wondering when to betray them, right?

You're a terrible person.

Elizabeth…

Did you say something?

Let me be the one to finish off Meliodas.

You? Why?

His comrades really did a number on me.

It's obvious that Meliodas should
take responsibility for this mischief.

Crap. She's not going to…

What?

Those guys eat souls!

Then what will happen to Sir Meliodas?

Well…

Ban!

Ban!

There's no need for you to ask
for my forgiveness.

Thank you.

Hey, Mage.

What is it?

Send me over there.

Oh, my, you're resisting.

But I happen to be a specialist

at manipulating the dead, their souls.

Extracting your soul
when you're immobilized is simple for me.

Soul Invitation!

Zero Sign!

I could end up losing you if I do this.

But I'm going to bring you
back to life someday, no matter what.

So…

It's all right, Ban.

Please save him.

There's no need
for you to ask for my forgiveness.

So, Meliodas,
what does your soul taste like--

You…

I have no idea what you're saying.

Fox Hunt!

You moron. Why did you…

come here?

Who are you calling a moron?

Don't try to look like
the only cool guy here!

You're a huge moron.

Well, it just goes to show
that dumb pals get along really well.

That's the Seven Deadly Sins' Ban!

She tried to devour my older brother's
soul without my permission.

She got what she deserved.

Human, thank you for that.

Yes, sure.

Can you get up, Captain?

Moron. Do I look like I'm injured?

Of course, if you hadn't k*lled her,
I would've done it myself.

Captain! Get back.

I'll take care of--

Meliodas has to die at my hands.

Rebellion.

By the way, why did you come here?

Why do you think?

Fox Hunt!

Let me teach you something useful.

We upper-level Demons have seven hearts.

That's number two.

Any Demon will die
if you destroy them all.

I won't let you do that!

Three.

Four.

I won't let you k*ll the captain!

Five.

Hunter Fest!

Six.

Can't I even protect my woman…

or a single friend?

Stop it!

So long, Brother.

My beloved Meliodas.

Stop it!

All your chirping is too noisy.

It's really grating.

Meliodas has just d*ed.

Britannia is now ours.

I want you to take me there.

But…

Please.

Very well.

Sir Meliodas?

Please answer me!

Sir Meliodas?

Sir Meliodas!

Sir Meliodas!

Please! Answer me!

Sir Meliodas!

There you are…

Sir Meliodas.

No…

No!

No!

Please!

Open your eyes!

No!

Thank goodness!

I don't know how to thank you.

Oh, no.

After all, this is the most I can do.

You're our greatest savior.

Not only did you heal
our children's injuries,

you even brought us
such a wonderful get well gift!

What?

Meat!

I'm hungry!

Sure thing.

I'll put it on the grill
for you right now!

Hold on! I'm not some get well feast!

What?

Forgive my rudeness!

Still, I wonder if the others are okay.

In order to stop
the Demon Clan's invasion,

they ended up scattering
all over Britannia.

A LITTLE SOUTHWEST OF CAMELOT

Iai…

Heartless Waterfall!

You dare fight back, Human?

You have two choices remaining.

Subjugation, or death.

I'll take the third choice.

To fight back until the bitter end!

The Demon Clan is vast in number.

It's sure to be a struggle
for all of them.

Hey.

This is just a suggestion,

but if you want, why don't you all
come with me to the Fairy King's Forest?

What?

To the Fairy King's Forest?

As Fairy King,
I have a duty to protect the forest,

and I think it'll be safer there
than here, at the very least.

What should we do, Matrona?

So cute!

Thank goodness
their attention turned to Oslo!

-What a good boy!
-I have to admit…

That's probably the best option for now.

What about you, Elizabeth?

I would like to do what I can right now.

We did it.

We did indeed, Sir Arthur!

But who would have thought
the Demon Clan was this powerful?

Even so, somebody has to do it.

As long as we don't give up,
one day, we'll see the light.

If that's the case,
you're that light, Sir Arthur!

I would never presume
to call myself the light!

If Sir Nanashi hadn't been here,
honestly, I might have been done for!

Thank you, Sir Nanashi.

So long as that monster cat is with you,

you'll never die.

What did he say?

King Arthur!
It's the Demon reinforcements!

Retreat!

I've got to become so much stronger!

Me would also like it
if Arthur got stronger.

Did you just speak?
You can speak, then, Cath?

What a creepy cat that is.

That's how you refer to yourself
in the first person?

You're focusing on that?

Let's go, Howzer!

Leave the west to Gilthunder
and the others, and we'll take the east!

Right.

Merlin has shut herself in her lab
when things are this busy!

As for Gowther…

It's not as though I believe Dreyfus,

but with the capital under att*ck
by the Demon Clan,

this is a state of emergency.

Until you're cleared of suspicion
of being a Ten Commandment,

we can't let you outside.

I hope you understand.

They're all idiots!

It's a godsend for us
that you're back to normal.

After the way you were blown apart…

What kind of body do you have?

I'll never die.

Even if I want to die.

After what happened to you and Meliodas…

By the time I noticed, Elaine had already…

She had vanished, is that it?

Sorry.

If only I had been more watchful…

It's not your fault.

By k*lling the Demon woman
who resurrected Elaine,

I was the one who cut off
that magical power.

That's something
that Elaine and I decided on.

What happened to
the northern village's guards?

The villagers…

The villagers…

offered Holy Knights as sacrifices.

We've cornered them!

Hurry, let's report to that person!

Stupid commoners! Who do you think we are?

Shut up!

You know we're on the run
from the kingdom!

We're Holy Knights of Liones,
Sir Ruin and Freesia of the Weird Fangs!

Idiot!

Those are quality Power Levels!
for the guy, for the woman!

Capture them no matter what!
That person desires even stronger souls!

People like you…

I don't even need to use my magical power!

Now that it's come to this,
I have no choice!

Hand them over!

Hand over your souls!

-Hand them over!
-What?

What's with them?

I rushed over
when I heard you were of quality,

only to find out it was you two.

Grand Master Dreyfus!

We had heard the rumors
about how you had vanished

after the final battle in the royal
capital against the Seven Deadly Sins,

but we never thought
we would get the chance to see you--

Ruin?

Sir Dreyfus, what did you do to Ruin?

You have no people to protect,
nor a country to go home to, anyway.

Die with grace!

Open your eyes, you damn worms!

He's not Human!

Hey, hold on!

You--

You're not getting away!

You sinful woman!
That man is one of the Ten Commandments!

Let me go!

Hand it over.

As a mere Human,
how dare you stand up to the Demon Clan?

What do you mean, Demon Clan?

Don't you have any pride as Humans?

Pride won't save our families!

No matter what you think!

Damn it! I'll k*ll you!

I'll k*ll you all!

This soul looks more lively
than that other one!

You all did well finding these two.

As a reward, I'm extending
your grace period three more months.

Sir Fraudrin!

We are grateful, Sir Fraudrin!

Did you find that Holy Knight?

Damn it, he got away!

He's probably fled
into the Forest of White Dreams by now!

Do you want to chase him?

I don't want to.

All I hear are rumors about the crazy
monsters people have seen in that forest.

The fog seems to be getting thicker.

Looks like I got lucky!

"Got lucky."

It makes me laugh just saying it.

Now that the place is teeming with Demons,
no matter where you run.

A Holy Knight is staying in this room now.

Right. I'll report him right away.

If I offer up a Holy Knight's soul,
we'll be saved.

First, I was soundly defeated
by the Seven Deadly Sins,

and then driven out of the kingdom.

Am I to be fed to the Demon Clan next?

What a drastic twist!

Demon!

So this is death.

It's more anticlimactic than I thought.

Hey! Five more ales!

Yes, sir!

I was so surprised when I found this place
in the middle of the mountains!

Yes, I was sure
I had gone to the afterlife!

Where am I?

It's so strange.

Just three days ago,
there was nothing here.

A tavern?

Man, this is great!

Even in a world like this,
as long as there's ale, we can be happy!

Thanks for waiting!

That's…

Here! Five large steins!

TEACH US, MR. HAWK!

I'll say it in Tosa dialect.

I like sukiyaki!

Me too!

Pork sukiyaki is tasty, right?

I like it, too!

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

"Certain Warmth."

SEE YOU NEXT TIME!
