In order to retrieve Diane's Sacred Treasure, the group enters the Byzel Fight Festival.
The festival begins to heat up as everyone focuses on their own goals.
Capt—no, wait, Meliodafu! Good luck!
B-Baaaan! If you lose and get humiliated, I'll tell Elaine!
Oh, that's right!
You should cheer too, Elizabeth!
It's all right! No one will notice you.
O-Okay...
Well then, let the fight begin!
It would've been nice if the ring were a bit bigger.
What's wrong all of a sudden?
Are you that excited to fight me?
I was just reminded of something...
It was about this size back then as well.
Back then? Tell me already!
Don't worry, you'll get it right away!
Ah, now I remember!
This place sure is high-security.
Of course it is!
This is the man sentenced to die
for the great sin of burning down the Fairy King's Forest four years ago!
But he's still alive after being executed 33 times, isn't he?
Correct.
We've tried beheading and burning, but nothing's worked...
H-He's not human!
I see. What a coincidence.
Open it up.
Time for another execution?
What a pain. I'm not moving an inch.
If you're gonna do it, just do it here.{TLC: literally 'If you have some business with me, just do it here.'}
A brat?
Undead Ban. We're leaving.
Huh? Didn't you hear what I just said, you brat?
Guess I'll have to bust you out by force.
Go ahead and try.
Even if you're a brat, I won't go easy—
You really did bust me out!
Guess the first round goes to me, huh?
Let's do that again!
If you want to continue, you'll have to come with me.{literally: 'If you want to continue, leave this place and team up with me.'}
A one-hit KO right off the bat!
Here I come!
Take this!
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 11
The Sentiment of Many Years
Th-That Baaaan guy must be dead!
Is this even considered a fight anymore?
He's completely fine!
So these are the Seven Deadly Sins!
They're both beyond monsters!
Whoa! Are they both down?!
Bastard, you've really done it, huh?
Upsy-daisy.
Wh-What's going on?!
Baaaan's wounds have completely healed!
Th-Those two are insane!
Get your ale before it runs out!
Welcome!
My body's as light as a feather!
You made me lose a tooth!
Just kidding.
Hey, King!
Yeah.
Little by little, Captain's losing his ability to keep up with Ban.
You mean Captain's running out of stamina?
When Captain started getting sluggish, Ban suddenly became more agile!
What do you mean?
Snatch
Ban's power, Snatch, can take away speed and power—it can rob physical abilities!
Take this!
Meliodafu turns around and smashes Baaaan back and forth like a rag doll!
Such power!
This feeling of having Cap'n's power coursing through me...
Physical Hunt
This ecstasy!
I wonder how much of Cap'n's power has been added to mine!
Let me test it out!
You've gotta be kidding me.
Just how much strength lies within you, Cap'n?
All right, I've decided.
Decided to give up?
Well, I don't think we can end this fight
just by stealing a little speed or strength here and there, so...
I'll take it all!
End it right here and now!
Ban will win if he can steal all of Captain's strength.
But Captain will win if he can finish it before then!
That was delicious, Cap'n!
Whoa, what's going on?!
Meliodafu ran out of strength after a ferocious offensive!
Lord King, what happened to Lord Meliodas?
Ban has completely robbed Captain of his physical abilities.
The happy and fun brawl with the Cap'n is about to come to an end...
What would you like to do?
Ban!
If you do anything more to Captain, I'll never forgive you!
I'll cut all ties with you, too!
The audience needs to shut up.{TLC: literally: 'People outside the ring need to shut up.'}
I'm the one winning this fight.
You can keep on dreaming.
I'm the one who's gonna win!
I knew it! Cap'n and I really do go well together!
Well then, allow me to deliver one final blow!
Please stop Lord Ban! If this keeps going, Lord Meliodas will—
This fight is gonna go to Captain!
What do you mean?
Captain's just pretending to be defeated to bait Ban into delivering his most powerful blow.
Then he'll reflect it back with Full Counter.
That's impossible.
Sorry, Diane.
Captain's special power can only reflect direct special power attacks.
So it's useless against something like an ordinary punch.
No way!
Then what is Captain doing?!
Even I don't know!
If you survive this, tell me how it feels!
I want to know how the fist with our combined powers tastes!
Lord Meliodas!
He really finished him off!
Aren't they comrades?
No way... Lord Meliodas...
Lord Meliodas!
Shh! Elizabeth, you can't be so loud!
Wha—
The only person left in the ring is Meliodafu! Where did Baaaan go?!
Look over there.
Then I guess... this means...
It's my win!
Winner, Meliodafu!
Hell yeah! Sold a whole barrel before the semifinals!
I always knew I was the best at this!
D-Diane...
Yeah...
For a split second, I thought I saw something strange.
Yeah... I was able to see it clearly.
Ban hit Captain with everything he had.
But at the same time, Captain's hand crushed Ban's wrist.
And then, in the next instant...
Ban's body was blown away.
I've seen Captain like that once before...
I don't know why, but it makes me feel uneasy.
A black mark on his forehead...
Isn't that the same as Dalmary—
Yo, guys!
What's going on?
Looking all gloomy like that...
Are you feeling okay already?
Yep, as you can see!
As soon as I blew Ban away, I returned to normal!
Then how was he able to move before Ban was defeated?
What's wrong, Diane?
Are you nervous for once?
Your next opponent does look tough...
All right!
Watching a fight like that has got me all fired up!
Oh no, I have to get going!
Here, Captain!
Do your best, Matrona!
Please don't push yourself, Diane!
Yep!
Meliodafu!
Lady Veronica.
Did you find her?
I've searched the area, but there are no signs of her.
We will lure the Sins to the town of Byzel.
How?
We'll use Diane's Sacred Treasure as the extra prize in the festival.
Then my sister—
Princess{TLC: 'Lady' not 'Princess'}{seku: Well, shoot. I've always been making Elizabeth-sama "Princess Elizabeth."} Elizabeth will definitely be with them.
Ellie is here.
Somewhere in this venue.
Lady Veronica...
And not just because Hendriksen said so.
I can feel her presence.
I will go and look once more.
Thank you.
Could you hurry up and decide, sir?
The semifinals have started already.
The Crime in the Sleeping Forest.
I've read this before.
Dangerous Man is an interesting title too.
This is...
Dammit, I can't believe myself...
I totally forgot about Cap'n's trump card.
Seriously, what was that?
Hey, you're heavy! Why don't you walk by yourself?
Don't be so cold, Master Pig.
What are you, a spoiled brat?
My body feels so heavy after using Physical Hunt.
I smell something.
Leftovers?
No!
There's a storm brewing.
Fight one of the semifinals, begin!
Whoa, Hauser! What a gentleman!
He let Matrona know that her button was undone!
But he receives a hail of boos from the crowd!
I can't fight if there's a distraction right in front of me!
Despite his looks, does Hauser actually have a pure heart?
Well, this is what I'm used to looking like all the time...
Rising Tornado
Rising Tornado!
I'll be in trouble if I take a direct hit from that!
Looks like you understand!
However...
Quit struggling and leave it to me!
It'll feel amazing!
You'll feel like you're flying through the sky!
That guy is amazing!
So many perverted comments in a row!{TLC: 'So many perverted comments in a row!' we used this tl in next ep preview}{seku: dammit. I like double entendres more. maybe change for batch?}
Th-That's not—
Is that true?
Hell no!
I just don't like hurting women, that's all!
No matter how strong they are!
Whoa! Matrona finds herself on the defensive!
Guess there's no other way.
I didn't want to force a woman into anything, but...
What?! Two twisters appear on each side of Matrona!
And she's backed to the edge of the ring! She's cornered!
No!
Whether you try to jump up high or hunker down low,
the twisters will hug the ground and rise to the skies!
Checkmate!
No way!
Back then you said it'd be bad if you took—
I borrowed these clothes, so I didn't want them to be damaged!
Jeez.
Interesting...
Guess I can go all out for once.
If you don't want to die, run.
Whirl Shock!
Whirl Shock!!
Diane!
That scared me...
I'm not done yet!
What's going on?! The referee needs to get away!
Super Cyclone!!
How does my strongest storm taste?!
This is crazy! I can barely see inside.
At this rate, Diane will—
If you let your feet off the ground for even a moment, it's over.
I-I'm sure I'd be able to hold my ground!
Fly!
This fight is over!
Heavy Metal
Heavy Metal!
Th-This is...?!
H-Hauser is completely down and out!
The winner of the first semifinals fight is Matrona!
A-Are you alright?
I-It's my utter defeat.
I lost my self-control and got serious, sorry.
A member of the Seven Deadly Sins took me seriously...
I-I'm honored.
Eh? I-I'm just a girl who happened to be in the area.
Yeah, right...
They seem to be in a good mood.
Diane! Get away from that man right now!
Ugh, jeez!
Diane... I knew it!
Wait!
I'm really sorry.
I don't believe this.
To think a human exists who can defeat a Holy Knight...
This world's so big, yet so small, too.
Now it's time for me to confirm that.
And now, the second semifinal fight!
Meliodafu versus Cain!
Captain, do your best!
Please be careful!
Leave it to me!
Avenge my loss as well!
Do it yourself.
We're counting on you, shorty!
Show us something amazing again!
Don't lose, gramps!
You gotta beat a kid like him!
Do your best, both of you!
You sure do resemble him...
When I first saw your face, I thought it was possible,
but once I heard your name, Meliodafu, I knew for sure.
Hmm?
You're Meliodas's son, are you not?
Nope.
I'm Meliodas.
Wh-Wh-Wh-What?!
Yeah, right! How could a little midget kid like you be Meliodas?
Shh! I'm trying to lay low right now for various reasons.
Even if he was alive, he'd be in his thirties by now!
Look, believe it or not...
I find it hard to believe you since you don't remember who I am.
Well, sorry about that.
If you really are the Meliodas that I know...
I'll never forgive you!
That crest... It's Danafor's.
My father told me about it before.
The kingdom where I was born...
Gramps, you're...?
Why did you destroy the kingdom?!
A direct hit!
Captain!
Why did you kill the people?!
Whoa! Meliodafu is defenseless against Cain's mysterious powers!
What are you doing, Captain?!
Fight back!
He's still hurt from the fight with Ban.
That's not it.
He's taking those hits on purpose.
I can't believe he's being so lame.{Doing something lame again.}{TLC: He dare take such a lame move.}
Wh-What does that mean?!
Do I look like Cap'n to you?
Why did you kill the person most important to you?!
Why did you kill Liz?!
Why did you betray everyone?!
It's huge!
No! Dodge it!
I wanted to protect them.
I wanted to protect everything.
But...
I couldn't.
That is my sin.
That's why this time,
I won't fail in protecting them!
Huh? Where'd that huge fireball go?
I-It disappeared?
Counter Vanish.
A technique that disperses any special power attack directed at you.
There's no mistaking it. You're the Meliodas I know.
I remember you now. You're Cain Barzad.
So it finally came to you.
Back when you were a Holy Knight, you always called yourself "The Flame Barzad."
You always used to wear armor, too.
Oh, is that so?
Meliodas, can I believe in the words you just spoke?
That you didn't betray Danafor or the people?
Yeah.
I'm so happy!
I've always wanted to hear those words from you!
Barzad...
When I returned from my mission, everything was completely gone.
I heard dreadful rumors that you destroyed the Kingdom.
Even so, I wanted them to be lies.
What's going on?
Beats me.
I'm so glad to have the chance to meet another comrade-in-arms from the past like this.
A-About the fight...
It's my loss.
Whoa, what's this? Cain has admitted defeat!
Therefore, the winner of the second semifinal fight is Meliodafu!
You sure?
Of course!
But you're just as soft and naïve as always.
You should've just reflected all my attacks.
But if you had died from that, I would've felt bad.
I haven't gotten that old yet.
Well then, I guess I'll just sit back and enjoy watching the finals!
And now, the moment you've all been waiting for.
The Byzel Fight Festival finals!
We had a parade of monstrous contestants this year.
This is the fight for the top!
Wait up for us, okay?
Hey, we really need to do something about Elizabeth's appearance.
Guess it's up to me.
Elizabeth, can you raise your arms for just a moment?
Thank you, Hawk!
What an impressive yet useless skill!
Time for both contestants to enter the ring!
Well, we're definitely going to get your Sacred Treasure back.
Let's just get this over quickly!
My heart has been KO'd by Captain already, though. Just kidding!
Meliodafu! Look over here!
Let's do something naughty, just like the other night!
Hurry up and beat that musclebound woman, then come play with us!
No fair! What about me?
Whoa! Meliodafu has some sexy fans! I'm so jealous!
A climax should be exciting.
It's gone! My purse is gone!
Well then, let's get started!
You...
cheater!
Guila, have we arrived at Byzel yet?
We'll be there in a moment. No need to be so anxious.
Of course I'm going to be anxious.
I'm itching to use this power to its fullest.
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
mihatenu yume wa kori gori kori gori yo
After all, this world we live in is transient, yo

Open up and defy them all to find high spirits, yo

High spirits, yo!

The future will be fine as long as it shines brightly

We switched our intense rampage on

Making seven sounds of thunder

Heading toward an ever-bright tomorrow

Let's go, now we can fly high

And so, the children believed in the return of their father and lived happily every after.
The end.
Children...
That's right. The Knight's children.
Waiting...
Right.

You can feel the danger in the air!
On the other hand, yet again, we have the disappointing Holy Knight, Hauser!
