Elizabeth was kidnapped, on Holy Knight Commander Hendrickson's orders.
The band led by Meliodas infiltrated the royal capitol, Liones, to rescue her.
For what purpose is the King of Camelot, Arthur Pendragon, there for?
And now two holy knights have stood up for Diane in her hour of need.
Royal holy knights are turning their backs to a deadly sinner
and drawing their swords on me?
She put herself in harm's way to save a human
who was discarded as a necessary sacrifice in the name of justice!
I can't just stand by and watch her be killed.
Guila!
Now's not the time to be fooling around!
Guila-tan, I thought you wanted to know the real reason behind your father's disappearance.
I do. But I already have a pretty good guess.
If that girl hadn't protected him, my brother would've been dead because of you.
I see.
Like father, like daughter, I guess.
The mission of the holy knights is to convict evil and point it out to the people.
That's all there is to it.
Come back here at once!
If you do, I'll forget about this little indiscretion.
Now come.
Fools!
This is a tale of humans and beings from other worlds.
It is a story of ancient times.{This is a tale of ancient times, from when the worlds of humans and non-humans were not separated.}
Liones wasn't the only nation with the power of the Holy Knights.{Liones was not the only kingdoms to have holy knights.}
They are used throughout all Britannia.{They existed throughout Britannia.}
Magic is power.
And that very power is what shapes the fate of each nation.{Magic gave power, and that power would control the fates of entire kingdoms.}
Amongst the numerous Holy Knights, there is one group whose fame stretched all across Britannia.
And that group's name was—{Among the many knights, the ones whose name was known throughout all of Britannia were...}

Episode 18
My Life in Exchange
Sir Platinum Knight,
how would you assess our chances in this most unfavorable situation?
I fear we may accidentally hit the two behind us with our magic.
Don't come out.
We're facing a Commander, a Cardinal, and the Diamond Knight.
We have no hope of winning.
But that won't stop me!
Rising Tornado!
Rising Tornado
I compressed it in small radius in order to bring out its true power!
Guila!
Pour every ounce of magic you got into that tornado!
Don't do it!
Guila!
I'm not your enemy!
Forgive me, Jericho.
But I have no other option!
Shot Bomb!
Joint Technique Bomb Cyclone
Joint technique: Bomb Cyclone!
Keep firing until your last drop of magic!
I don't wanna die!
The Seven Deadly Sins have come to destroy the city!
That's a tremendous outpouring of magic.
But it's not Diane's.
Sounds like something's happening out there.
Elizabeth-chan, this seems to be an underground pen.{the japanese word he uses is jargon for "jail", which literally means "pig box". I used "pen" as a word play on "livestock pen"/"penitentiary"}
Pen?{she doesn't know the jargon}
Penitentiary, jail.{he explains. What he literally says is "It means jail."}
Oh...
Father!
Margaret{-nee-sama}!
Where are you?
Father!
Keep it down!
If you keep it up, the guards will show up!
Elizabeth?
Is that you, Elizabeth?
Margaret{-nee-sama}?
Don't you get tired on me, Guila!
Worry about yourself!
How long to you intend to keep this up?
I thought you might have slipped out.
"Resist Fire" "Resist Wind"
Enchantment
That was pretty good for an impromptu joint technique.
But it'll take way more than that.
I could only cause that much damage with my fully released magic?
Unbelievable... He's unscathed.
Fabric Pierce
Fabric Pierce!
Who's that?!
Who is that?!
Who indeed.
Margaret!{or "Nee-sama!"}
Is that really you Margaret{-nee-sama}?!
Margaret!{or "Nee-sama!"}
Are you all right?
Don't worry, I'm fine.
What about you?
Father and I have been worried about you.
I'm... I'm all right.
But... I'm sorry.
Because of me...
Because of me, Veronica{-nee-sama}...
Elizabeth, don't treat yourself so harshly.
That's not how she would want you to feel.
She really cares for you deeply.
And it's strange, but—
Margaret{-nee-sama}, we can speak later.
We need to escape this place together!
Well, if it isn't two sisters plotting a jailbreak.
How did a cute little girl like you break out of her cell?
Release my sister at once!
Oh, but you have it all wrong.
Lady Margaret{-sama} is here of her own volition.
Do you honestly expect me to believe that?
You can believe what you wish.
Come now, Lady Elizabeth,{-sama}
I'll take you to an even safer—
Who did that?!
Super Special Move, Forget Meal!
The forbidden technique that allows me to completely conceal my presence
and attack from the opponent's blind spot!
I mean, how dare you completely ignore the great Hawk-sama?!
You'll have to get through me first!
Hawk!
A talking... pig?
Pig!
Begone!
Elizabeth-chan!
Where am I?
Elizabeth-chan!
I'm over here!
Disgusting!
There's nothing I hate more than pigs!
How did it even manage to get in here?!
Elizabeth!
She's just unconscious.
Oh, I almost forgot.
Let me open that for you, just like your cute little sister wanted.
You're free to go anywhere you wish.
That is, if you're prepared to abandon him.
Who are you?
A sheep...
Wait, are you...
Indeed I am.
The Goat's Sin of Lust, Gowther, of the Seven Deadly Sins is here. {idk how you guys phrase these, so I'm leaving it}
That's you?!
He doesn't look anything like the wanted poster at all.
Gowther...
I thank you for fighting to protect Diane, Guila.
I gained an understanding of the entire situation from your
and Dreyfus's memories from the last few minutes.
Dreyfus, I'll be going all out from the start to defeat you.
Well...
Piercing Thrust!
Piercing Thrust
Fabric Pierce!
Fabric Pierce
The feeling's mutual then!
Your magic that undermines the mind is in a way the most dangerous of the Seven Deadly Sins.
In other words, I just need to take you out before you get a chance to use it.
You talk far too much.
Impossible!
Your chest was pierced right through!
How can you still move?!
Don't think about it that deeply.
What's happening?
This is a nightmare.
Were you having a bad dream?
That's what you get for napping here in the middle of the day.
Hendrickson...
Is that you?
Who else do I look like?
Keep it together, Dreyfus.
What do you think about His Majesty's words last night?
His Majesty's words?
About the possibility of avoiding the Holy War of the ancient prophecy.
It's true that His Majesty's magic, Vision, lets him see into the future.
But if the Holy War can really be avoided,
then of what value are we Holy Knights to society?
That's what I thought.
Even if there's no war, the threat of monsters and savage tribes still remain.
Regardless of the scope of the threat,
we Holy Knights will be needed to defend the kingdom.
If need be we can just cause a Holy War ourselves!
Welcome home, Dad!
I'm back, Griamore.
Today, I had ten fencing bouts with Gil, and I won three times!
Really? You're getting strong!
I want be a holy knight too one day!
You'll make a fine knight.
Just like me one—
Just like Uncle Zaratras!
Everyone says that Gil's dad is stronger than mine.
Is that true?
I don't know about that.
I've never fought my brother for real.
I'm stronger.
What did you say, Anna?
Nothing like a drink right after training!
But Zaratras sure is good.
I feel like I'll never beat him.
You're being modest.
You Seven Deadly Sins are the only ones in the kingdom who can stand on even ground with him.
Even Dreyfus has never once beat him.
So you say, but if you compare just sword skills, I think Dreyfus outshines Zaratra's
Do you really mean that, Lord Meliodas?!
I wouldn't lie.
Quite a praise!
If there's something you lack, that's experience and ambition.
{thoughts} That's right! I'm not inferior!
{thoughts} One day I'll surpass my brother, and become commander!
But on second thought, you'll probably never get an opportunity.
Opportunity?
Right, Zaratras?
B-Brother?
Stop!
No! I didn't want...
I didn't want to do such a thing!
I didn't mean to kill you.
I swear!
You've got to believe me, Zaratras!
Atone for your sins! {Make the words appear as they're said}
I'm sorry.
Please, forgive me.
Nightmare Teller
Nightmare Teller.
Humans are so fragile.
Dreyfus,
I'll be going now.
But you won't be waking up from this nightmare.
Who are you?
Wh-What's going on?
They haven't moved a muscle ever since Gowther's hands touched the commander's head,
just as the Piercing Thrust had strike through him.
Gowther...
Unfortunately for you, Gowther, the one who made it back was me.
And we shall never meet again!
Lord Dreyfus!
Commander!
I didn't think I, of all people, would take such heavy damage.
I owe you one, Gilthunder.
It's fine.
Cardinal Helbram,
I'll leave it to you to finish up here.
Yes, sir!
Man, he did such an elegant entry, only to get cut down right away.
I can't believe this guy.
No, he did enough to uphold the reputation of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Thanks to him, even if it's just temporary, our only remaining enemy is Cardinal Helbram.
You think this makes things easier for you, do you?
Do not forget that having no allies on the battlefield means that I can do whatever I want.
Call of Inferno!
Call of Inferno
Th-This black mist...
It's Death Magic.
Are you insane?!
What if there are still people around?
What does it matter to you if I'm sane or not?
Either way, you'll be the ones to die—
I'm not letting anyone die!{even if I have to kill you ;)}
Diane...
Hauser...
Take the kid and get away from here.
Zeal...
Quit screwing around!
You always put the everyone else before yourself!
Think of yourself for once!
Resilient huge thing you are.
Diane!
Stop...
Stop!
Well, well, if it isn't the Fairy King himself.
Is that...
King, the Grizzly's Sin of Sloth.
Who did this?
Who did such a horrible things to Diane?
Was it you?
No.
Those two protected me.
Don't blame them.
Is that what your protection amounts to?!
You haven't managed to protect her at all!
You haven't done anything!
Apologize!
What are you doing?
Why? Why?
Why can I never protect those I love?
That's because you were always late.
No, because you were always too late.
Just like that time twenty years ago when the Fairy King's Forest burned down.
Or like that time seven hundred years ago,
and even today as well.
The death of this giant girl will be on your hands!
Silence!
Is he dead?
Enchantment "Hard Protection"
Prepare to die.
So you're much more serious now than when you were at Vaizel, huh? {Editor: The TL had Byzel, which I think is wrong.}
Return to your true form.
You know you can't utilize your full magic in your current form, Helbram.
He's a Fairy?
That's Cardinal Helbram?
I didn't think it was you back at Vaizel.
Because you were wearing that soiled helmet.
Shut up!
It really is a dirty helmet.
But I just can't bring myself to throw it away.
It's something I keep as a reminder and as self-punishment.
I have no interest in that.
What's got you so worked up?
Oh, was the cute giant girl's fate that shocking?
But she's just one of your diverse crew of ragtag knights, isn't she?
I don't expect you to understand how important she is to me.
Then you should've just kept her somewhere safe.
Oh wait, there's no such place.
Even you should know the pain of losing someone you care for!
Are you saying you do know the pain of losing a loved one right before your eyes?
Oh, nice save!
Let's see you stop the next one.
Was that supposed to be an attack?
You sure can bounce around, Fairy King!
Oh, please. You can't beat me with that Chastiefol of yours.
An incompetent Fairy King like you
can't possibly master the Chastiefol that's made from the sacred tree. {Split}
Just sit back over there and watch as your precious giant girl gets torn to pieces.
Serves you right, you tree freak!
Great job, Hauser!
It regenerated?!
Now then, Fairy King, etch this into your eyes, mind and soul—
the sight of your loved one dying right before you.
Did you properly see how your beloved giant turned into minced meat?
Maybe I'll have you take a closer look.
Commander.
Yes.
I felt Diane's and Gowther's magic fading.
And now King's magic is growing impossibly strong.
Ridiculous!
My attacks had no effect at all?!
Did you abandon both your attacks on me, and even the safety of yourself,
so that you could pour all your magic into protecting that half-dead girl?
Helbram,
I'll now fulfill the promise I made to you seven hundred years ago.
kimi no sonzai dake de sekai wa mangekyou mitai da
With just your presence, the world begins to look like a kaleidoscope.
hashiru kimi ni awase keshiki wa irodzuku kara
The scenery fills with color as you run onward.
hora mata kimi no mae de namida wo miseteshimatta
Here I am, showing you my tears again.
nani ga attemo zutto hanaranaide kureta
But no matter what, you always stay by my side.
dareka wo mamorinuku to dareka ni tsumi wo tsukuru
By protecting someone, you create a sin for someone else.
ikiru hodo ai wo shitte kokoro wa tsuyokunaru
Learn of love, and grow stronger the longer you live on.
me no oku ni utsuru kako no kizu wa
But I'll drink down the scars from your past,
watashi ga nomihosu kara
Reflected in the depths of your eyes.
kimi no sonzai dake de sekai wa mangekyou mitai ni
With just your presence, the world begins to look like a kaleidoscope.
kuru kuru mawatte hikari ga sasu
Spinning around and around, shining its light.
kawaru kisetsu to kawaranai waraigoe
The seasons change while our laughing voices remain the same,
kimi wa omoide ni naranai yo
But you'll never be reduced to a memory,
koko ni iru kara
Because you're right here with me.
Don't go, brother!
How are we going to protect the forest without you?!
I can't just leave Helbram!
Take care of things here while I'm gone, Elaine.
Brother, please wait!
Guys!
Wait, where's Helbram?
