The Grizzly's Sin, King, the fourth of the Seven, is alive.
You walked right into my trap.
King stalked Ban, still harboring an intense grudge against him.
Ban also continued his own pursuit of something else.
Furthermore, a single woman is tailing the group.
I guess the Capital of the Dead does exist.
Wh-Who is this person?
Don't tell me... you're a Holy Knight?
If you'd be so kind, please tell me how to get to the Capital of the Dead.
As if... we'd tell you anything.
Brother, I... I can't breathe...
Please tell me.
"A priceless memory shared with the deceased will open the path to the Capital..."
I don't quite understand that.
Then how are we supposed to get it?!
How would we know about a city where dead people go?
Dead people...
I see.
You have my gratitude.
S-Stop it...
This is a tale of humans and beings from other worlds.
It is a story of ancient times.
Long ago, the Holy Knights fought alongside three tribes to seal away the Demon Clan.
It was known as the Holy War, and memory of it has long left the minds of the people.
However, a new Holy War has begun.
The battle to banish the Seven Deadly Sins unto oblivion.
I'll shout out a love that doesn't cease to resound
nariyamanu ai o sakebu yo
I continue to take everything in my arms
subete o daite koko ni irun da
For that's where our light lies
hikari wa soko ni aru yo
With unyielding emotions in tow,
yuzurenai omoi o kakete
I'll be the one to live on the edge of my hopes
kibou no hate o boku wa ikiru yo
A dream connects me to you
yume o tsunaida kimi to
A beginning will someday be born from our own hands
hajimari o itsuka bokura no te de umidasun da yo
And with how kind you are, I'm sure your voice will be able to change the world
yasashii kimi no koe mo kitto sekai o kaerareru
Since people can't totally stand up all on their own,
dare mo hitori kiri ja tachiagare yashinai kara
we'll reach out our hands to one another
tagai ni te o nobashite
and head for a tomorrow that surpasses all limits
kagiri no koeta ashita e
I'll shout out a love that doesn't cease to resound
nariyamanu ai o sakebu yo
As we begin to butt heads and get to know one another better,
butsukariatte wakariaun da
we'll create a path of light.
hikari o tsukuridasu yo
Guided by my tenacity,
akiramenu omoi o kakete
I'll be the one to live on the edge of my hopes
kibou no hate o boku wa ikiru yo
A dream connects me with you
yume o tsunai da kimi to
Episode 8
The Dreadful Pursuer
Ban!
King!
Lord Ban!
King!
Jeez, where did those two go?
Lord Meliodas?
Someone's here.
But it doesn't seem like there's anyone here beside us.
There's not even a single ghost.
It's scary to imagine one being here.
W-We're not getting anything done hanging around here.
L-Let's hurry and go find those two!
Y-You're right.
You think you can get away from me?
It's you again?
Impostor King!
Impostor King?
You heard me.
No, no, I'm actually King.
I'm busy right now.
Shoo, shoo.
Not happening.
Is that so?
You haven't changed one bit.
You don't care what happens to anyone who gets in the way of your greedy pursuits.
Why, you... You're really King?
Didn't I say so?
Then... I won't feel bad clobbering you!
That's exactly how you always used to try to hurt me, back in the old days.
If we're gonna dredge up the past, you showed yourself to us—no, to me.
If it were up to me, we wouldn't have been reunited on these terms.
Ten years ago, following my exile after being accused of overthrowing the kingdom,
I headed back to my hometown, having nowhere else to go.
But what I returned to was...
a town cruelly burned to the ground and beyond recognition.
I didn't think much of it back when we were in the Sins together.
Why was a human like you immortal?
I never would've imagined you obtained that power by killing the Saint and drinking from the Fountain.
How do you know about that woman?
The Saint you killed...
Elaine was my sister!
Oh, I see.
So you want to kill me for revenge.
But that won't do you any good.
I'm immortal!
You know that my sacred treasure has many forms, right?
I see.
Anything that doesn't interest you goes in one ear and out the other.
Spirit Spear Chastiefol Form Three, Fossilization!
What now?
Petrification.
I've been looking forward to this moment.
Are you watching, Elaine?
I wish what Ban came to steal wasn't the Fountain of Youth... but me...
Wanna make that happen?
Y-You... You said you were going to get food!
I found some cowberries right over there.
All right, let's do this!
Don't make fun of me!
Nah, I'm being serious.
For some reason, I don't get along with other people particularly well.
And you're... the first person to really listen to what I have to say.
I... I can't.
I... I'm happy, but...
I have to protect the Fountain of Youth, or this forest will—
Now, just leave it to me.
Huh?
I'll find your brother and bring him back.
You mentioned that a while ago, right?
You have a brother that left some hundred years ago.
If I do that, you're free to get out of here.
Ban, pull yourself together!
What... in the world...
What kind of monster is that?
It's from the Demon Clan.
Demon?
If the Fairy King's Forest is being burned, then it must be purgatory fire!
But they should have been sealed away after losing to the Holy Maiden Clan in an ancient war...
Where's the Fountain of Youth?
Don't worry. I managed to hold on to it.
All right. Take that with you and run!
You come with me!
The demon hasn't noticed us yet.
That's why we've gotta take it down in one hit while we can!
Now!
See? One hit.
No, Ban!
A demon has more than one hea—
If you have any last confessions, I'll listen to them.
Not that I'm going to forgive you.
What's so funny?
Don't act so tough.
You're really frustrated, aren't you?
Good-bye, Ban.
They're not here.
Couldn't they have already returned to the real world?
Who's that?
Greetings, Dragon's Sin, Meliodas and Serpent's Sin, Diane.
I am Holy Knight Guila.
How did she get here?
I got here by dying.
Did she just say "I got here by dying"?
That she did.
Does she have something wrong with her?
Yeah. Very wrong.
Hawk, take Elizabeth and run as far away as you can.
Agreed!
Get on, Elizabeth.
O-Okay!
Go, eluding pig trivet!
Please stay safe, you two!
Piggyup! Piggyup! Hup, hup, hup! Ho!
Ho! Ho! Hup!
Piggyup! Piggyup! Ho!
I sensed something really dangerous about that Holy Knight Guila...
It's just my animal instinct, though.
No, I sensed something too.
Oh, really?
Pig tap!
This should be far enough away.
Maybe we went a little too far...
Lord Meliodas?
What are you still doing here? Keep running!
You gotta be kidding me!
Captain!
So heavy.
That's mean!
Don't you have any delicacy? How could you say that?!
Now's not the time!
Serpent's Sin, Diane.
Your superhuman strength is among the highest of the Seven Deadly Sins.
You wield an ability which has a deep connection to nature and is exclusive to the Giant Clan,
Creation.
I've been looking forward to seeing it with my own eyes.
Well, what do you think?
Honestly, I'm disappointed.
It's not as impressive as the stories I've heard.
Then how about this?
Sand Whirl!
Sand Whirl
I can also turn minerals into sand.
Take good notes.
I see. This is very informative.
Take that!
I'd expect no less from the legendary captain of the Seven Deadly Sins, Meliodas.
You really do have such remarkable abilities.
But it's strange.
Why do you not use your sword?
Do you really think you can defeat me with your bare hands?
Well, if you insist.
Captain's got this.
You did it, Captain!
I see.
So that's your power. Full Counter.
It reflects attacks targeting you back at the enemy with far greater force.
Very interesting.
{In other words}So the stronger your opponent's attacks are, the stronger your power becomes.
But it has one weakness: you can't initiate your own attacks.
Why, you.
You figured that out, so you pulled your punches.
Come on, you two. Bring it on.
Please satisfy me.
Unrepentant to the very end, huh?
I can't say I'm surprised, Ban.
Well then, you can spend an agonizing eternity all alone in the Capital of the Dead,
where you'll find neither peace nor release from suffering.
That's a suitable fate for you, in return for stealing everything from Elaine.
What is that?
One of Ban's tricks?
No, he should no longer be able to do anything.
No way...
Elaine?
Is that you?
What? The petrification was reversed?
Yo, Elaine.
N-No way...
Ban, how did you get that scar?
So you haven't been watching from this world at all?
Th-That voice really is...
Elaine, it's me! You recognize me, don't you?
Please, let me see you too!
You should let him see you.
Those who still live and those who have passed on...
The Capital of the Dead is where the strong bond created by their memories
allows them to see each other for the first time.
You're still mad at me, huh.
That I abandoned you... Everything...
I left and threw it all away!
