Band and King faced off in the Capital of the Dead, chasing after the same person:
King's sister, the fairy Elaine.
King held a grudge against Ban for killing Elaine, so he turned him into stone.
However, none other than Elaine appeared to save Ban.
And the story of Elaine and Ban's past was revealed.
And the truth behind Elaine's death.
But then they were attacked by the Holy Knight Guila.
Now, within the Capital of the Dead, where only the nonliving dwell, the battle rages on.
Hey, Ban.
Hey now, King. What's the deal?
Isn't it obvious? I came to save you.
Save me, eh? Much appreciated.
You're most welcome.
I'm doing this for Captain and Diane.
Oh? You're leaving me out?
And there's also...
Elaine's feelings for you.
Please...
Protect Ban.
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 9
Dark Pulse
I always figured you'd betray me.
But it's still a shame, Grizzly's Sin of Sloth, King.
You really call this a betrayal?
I had no intention of siding with you from the start.
It just so happened that the Kingdom's goal of defeating the Seven Deadly Sins
coincided with my goal of defeating Ban.
But the situation's changed.
I really couldn't care less, but would you stop literally talking about me behind my back?
I see. That's quite the assumption you have there.
Short Bomb!
Short Bomb
Whoa!
Looks like something big is going on over there!
Let's hurry!
Let's turn back!
We can't!
Amazing...
So that's the legendary Spirit Spear, Chastiefol, a holy weapon crafted from the Sacred Tree
found only in the Fairy Realm.
They say it's stronger than steel, and that it holds the mysterious qualities of the Sacred Tree.
And your power to evoke those qualities is...
"Disaster."
Disaster
Seems like this might be fun after all.
Please, come at me four-on-one.
No, it'll be one-on-one.
Is that a joke?
We're counting on you, King!
If you lose, I'll kill you!
Captain... I think... I might be... dying...
As you wish.
Well, whenever you're rea—
That's no good. You should at least try to dodge.
I misread it?!
This speed...
This power...
Compared to the other Sins...
I already know...
that you'll grant my wish.
Your power is stronger when you wield it for others.
Not just for me,
but for your friends who need you.
I know...
that you're kinder than anyone else.
After you saw that your hometown had burned down,
I know how you kept blaming yourself and shed countless tears for me and your people...
I know...
that your power can be immeasurable.
Brilliant Detonation!
Brilliant Detonation
Whoa now.
In the past, the Human Kingdom was at peace with the Fairy King's Forest.
Not only was it a sign of friendship,
it was also an agreement not to interfere with each other's kingdoms.
Spirit Spear Chastiefol, Form Five.
Increase!
Increase
But what commanded the most respect...
What repelled every invasion and struck fear into those who tried...
was the power of the Fairy King.
King...
His true name...
Fairy King, Harlequin.
Hey!
That's quite a mess you've made!
Is anyone hurt?
Hey! We're all fine!
Thank goodness.
At this range,
not even defending with the Spirit Spear will save you!
Worry about saving yourself.
Damn!
Full Counter!
Lord Meliodas...
Guila's presence disappeared.
That impact probably sent her back to the real world.
Unlike you all, it seems she came here with just her soul instead of her physical body.
M-My ears are gone!
Hawk!
It's happening to me too! What's going on?!
I don't like this feeling!
Here! I'll make you feel better!
Hey! What do you think you're doing, Captain?!
What's going on?!
It appears this world has begun to reject you, since the living do not belong here.
It's great that you found who you were searching for.
Why are you guys here?
Don't tell me, you guys are from this world?
Your cooking was really delicious. Thank you.
Sure.
I'm glad I got to see you, Ban.
I'll see you later, Elaine.
Thank you, Brother.
For protecting Ban.
Elaine!
Looks like we've returned to the real world.
Ah, I was so worried.
That's—!
I see... She came to the Capital of the Dead by leaving herself half-dead.
That means she could wake up at any moment, right?
Everyone, let's hurry and run!
Let's just kill her now.
How savage. I'll just petrify her.
No, leave her to me!
Wake up.
Wake up, my disciple.
You're—!
Lord Helbram!
Looks like you failed, Guila.
Perhaps it was too soon for you to face the Seven Deadly Sins—
What happened to your face?
Well, I guess...
Yeah...
It's not so bad.
Eh? Eh?!
Here, Captain!
The food is ready!
Open wide!
That's impossible.
Hey, Diane, are you really okay now?
Huh? Oh... Y-Yeah!
Idiot! I bet she was just fakin' it to get attention from Cap'n.
Diane wouldn't do something like that!
Calm down, you two.
That's right, I forgot to ask earlier.
What's your relationship with the Captain?
We're lovers?
No!
We like getting touchy-feely?
Lord Meliodas, please...
She's the kingdom's princess.
The third princess, right?
Yes...
P-Princess?!
You should've told me sooner!
Had I known, I would've presented myself better!
No, that's...
Whoa, his clothes changed!
That's not the point!
You see...
Maintaing this appearance actually requires a lot of concentration.
He's a pig.
I am the Grizzly's Sin of Sloth, King, of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
A-Ah, yes... Likewise.
Please forgive my impropriety back at the Capital of the Dead!
Y-You don't have to...
Please, you can relax. There's no need for you to be so tense.
I... I see... In that case...
Phew, it's been a while. My shoulders are stiff.
Ah, his clothes are back.
You're still stuck on that?
But, Lord King, you really are powerful.
You singlehandedly defeated an enemy that three people were having trouble with.
It's true that I am strong, but...
If you guys had used your true strength against that Holy Knight, it should've been a breeze.
You three... What happened to your Sacred Treasures?
I lost it.
I sold it.
It got stolen.
That's impossible!
Northern Liones - Vannoh District
Bastards!
We'll continue marching south and devour everything in Britannia!
Wh-Who are they?
Chief! Those two are Holy Knights!
Just two people coming up against us?
How amusing!
We'll throw you guys a bloodbath party!
We love parties! Don't we, Gil?
No. I hate parties.
What a drag...
Guess I'll just end this quickly.
Although the captured king had the power to foresee the Holy War that would soon be upon us,
he ordered us to lay down our swords in an attempt to avoid the conflict.
But that was a mistake!
We, the Holy Knights, are the swords that protect the Liones Kingdom!
Everyone, prepare yourselves for war!
I promise you,
we, the new Great Holy Knights,
will lead the Liones Kingdom to victory in this Holy War!
That's quite the flashy speech, Dreyfus.
Let it be, Hendriksen.
Great Holy Knights,
Lord Gilthunder and Lord Hauser have returned from their fight with the barbarians.
Bring them to my chamber.
Gilthunder, Hauser, good work.
Great Holy Knight Drefyus, when exactly is the battle going to begin?
All these little errands are just tiresome.
Who knows?
Isn't that a bit irresponsible? At least tell us who we're fighting.
Hauser, you're out of line.
No, it's fine.
Anyway, about the Seven Deadly Sins...
Yes.
With King's betrayal, four of the Sins are now united.
Hey, what's the meaning of this?
Do you mean to tell me that the Holy War is against the Seven Deadly Sins?
That's something I can't confirm yet.
However, there is one thing I can say for sure.
The Seven Deadly Sins, especially the Dragon's Sin of Wrath, Meliodas,
are a threat that must be eliminated.
Holy Knight Dreyfus...
Do you remember the Kingdom of Danafor, who used to rival the Liones Kingdom in power?
Yeah, the Kingdom that was destroyed by some great disaster.
It was completely annihilated...
by the power of Meliodas, who had lost himself in his wrath.
You can't be serious!
Even if that was true,
the Liones's Holy Knights vastly outnumber the Sins.
We also have these "New Generation" Holy Knights showing up one after another!
You're too much of an optimist.
You're just way too negative.
Well, I've got some work to do, so I have to get going.
"New Generation," huh?
I've received reports of Hendriksen's men calling for several apprentices.
"New Generation?" What the heck is that?
Holy Knight apprentices who were considered failures
are suddenly obtaining powers far greater than those of the average Holy Knight.
Take Guila for example.
If I told you that just a few days ago, she was an apprentice with barely any power,
would you believe me?
Her?!
Now with all this going on,
the Sacred Treasures entrusted to us by the King of Liones
when we formed the Seven Deadly Sins were...
Sold?!
I needed money for the bar.
Stolen?!
From when I was locked up.
Am I a bad girl?
No, not at all! Everyone misplaces things from time to time.
Come on now, King. No need to get so fussy over a weapon or two.
Even without them, they're pretty strong.
Li'l Piggy...
L-Li'l Piggy?
For example,
let's say that this lake represents the power of one of the Sins.
How much water would you be able to scoop with just your palm?
Palm?
Right. No matter how much power you have,
there's a limit to everything.
But if you use a weapon, such as a Sacred Treasure,
you'd be able to draw incomparably more power than before.
Sacred Treasures are amazing, aren't they?
Ah, I see!
You idiots! How could you get rid of something so valuable!
Either way, we have to search for your Sacred Treasures now.
That is, if we're serious about saving the Kingdom.
Um...
Lord King, you've been inside the city recently, haven't you?
Yeah, I guess.
My father and sister...
The other princesses...
Do you know if they're okay?
I don't, unfortunately. Sorry.
I... see...
Why is this my room?!
There are no other rooms.
Fine. I'll just sleep outside like a bum.
I'll get to be with Diane, anywa—
Come on, Master Hawk. Let's get some shuteye!
You reek of alcohol! Let go of me!
Scapegoat strategy, success!
That's really pretty.
Thank you.
My older sister Margaret gave me this earring for my fifteenth birthday.
She was very kind and gentle.
The second princess, Veronica, was tomboyish,
and would get in trouble with our father for swordplay with the boys.
We used to play with Gilthunder a lot.{Lord?}
It was fun back then...
Don't worry!
We'll save your father and sisters, along with everyone else!
That's why we're on this journey!
Lord Meliodas...
So...
You should get some rest for tonight.
Come on, sleep over here!
You never learn, do you?
You wench, what are you doing here?
I have no obligation to tell you.
Confirmed! I'm gonna kill you later!
Weren't we summoned by the Great Holy Knight Hendriksen? Where is he?
I'm right here.
If I recall correctly, you're Twigo and Jericho, correct?
Wh-What...
is this?!
Welcome, ye warriors who thirst for new powers!
Today, you two shall be reborn.
Drink it.
This is demon's blood.
That town at the base of the mountainside is Byzel.
It's a merchant town.
Is it really here?
The other day
we heard a customer say a huge hammer that no one could use was brought here, didn't we?
That no one can use?
It can't be. Diane's?!
Who cares about that? Can someone do something about my clothes first?
Just go shirtless with an apron or something.
Who cares about that?!
Why am I house-sitting again?!
It's not your fault.
Some giants caused an uproar at a festival a few years back, so they're banned now.
We'll be back once we've confirmed the rumor.
No! It's so boring!
Um... I'll stay back as well.
Huh, really?
I want to have some girl talk every once in a while!
Girl talk?
All right. Well, let's go!
Hot off the anvil! Great swords from a skillful blacksmith!
This is from a royal tomb and has a fascinating history!
How are we gonna find anything like this, Cap'n?
You really went shirtless with an apron...
Let's check out the weapon shops first.
Are you looking for something?
Or are you participants in the festival?
No, we're searching for a weapon.
A big hammer. We heard it was somewhere around here, but...
Ah, now that's easy to find.
Over there, behind that thing.
That's Diane's Sacred Treasure! "Gideon!"
It really was here!
Okay! The annual Byzel Fight Festival is about to begin!
The use of weapons is completely prohibited!
If any of you bastards want to let your fists do the talking, step right up!
The grand prize is a hundred gold coins! Also, you'll get a giant's war hammer!
Such a barbaric festival...
Right, Captain—
We're totally entering, right, Cap'n?
Shall we put an end to this once and for all, Ban?
Hey, three fighters here!
I don't want to!
This isn't some kiddie game at a carnival!
Get outta here!
I don't really get what you're trying to say.
Hey, geezer...
No need to be so barbaric. It's a festival, right?
You bastard.
You know that I'm the three-time champion Taizoo, don't you?
All right!
Every year, I've wanted to enter, but my job kept getting in the way.
Finally, it's my long-awaited Fight Festival debut!
So let's all just have some fun!
I've definitely seem him somewhere before...
And now the Fight Festival preliminaries shall begin!
All participants, come to the fighting ring!
That brat...
All right!
I just wanted to house-sit with Diane...
As I expected, you've finally shown yourselves, Seven Deadly Sins.
Griamor.
Understood.
Well, let's go get Diane's Sacred Treasure back!
We're going back and forth on a dead-end street, yo
ittari kitari de ikidomari yo
This abandoned dream is a bitter experience, yo

Demon's... blood?
The Demon Clan should've been sealed away for eternity by the Holy Maiden Clan
after losing to them in the Ancient War.
Why it was found in the Fairy King's Forest, we have no idea.
However, if you drink this, and you're compatible with it...
You'll gain much more power... assuming you can control it.
Like Guila has.
You wish for power, don't you?
Power?
Power!
Only one of you is compatible.
Seems like it.
What is this new feeling?
C-Confirmed! I have attained the power to explode!
Confirmed! I'm about to explode—
Welcome.
{To our side,}Now you're on our side, Jericho.
