Get away from her!
We're heading out to save Elizabeth right now!
This is killing me!
Did you say something?
I can't make anything out.
Our only goal is to save Elizabeth.
Try to keep the fighting to a minimum.
You're the one who brought me here?
Super Roast Illusion!
All right! Let's scram!
Sadly for you, Gowther, the one who made it back was me.
Thank you, Gilthunder.
You think this makes things easier for you, do you?
Call of Inferno
Do not forget that having no allies on the battlefield means that I can do whatever—{this is a shorter version of the original line}
I'm not letting anyone die!
I'll now fulfill the promise I made to you seven hundred years ago.
The peaceful days that King spent with Diane long ago
were also days in which he had lost his memories of his closest friend, Helbram.
Deceived by humans, Helbram had rushed out of the Fairy Forest.
He was slaughtering humans as if possessed by the voices of his dead people.
In order to end his friend's suffering, King took his life.
At the same time, Meliodas was fighting the Holy Knight Commander Hendrickson.
Now then, let's get down to business.
Give us back Elizabeth!
Long time no see, Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Are you by yourself?
Yeah, we got separated along the way.
And you still think your plan will work?
You're as optimistic as usual.
Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins?
That means he's...
Where's Elizabeth? Give her back right now!
I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
This is a tale of ancient times, from when the worlds of humans and non-humans were not separated.
Where there's a kingdom, there are Holy Knights.
Where holy knights appeared, kingdoms could not survive.
That state of affairs robbed the Holy Knights of their freedom and righteousness.
That is what makes them a legend.
Holy Knights who're even superior than Holy Knights.
In other words, the Seven Deadly Sins!
're
Those who wander looking for answers, those who question in confusion
samayoi tou mono mo tomadoi kou mono mo
Will go beyond all sin.

Episode 20
The Spell of Courage
What's the matter, Gil?
You down and out already?
I can't do this after all.
I'll never be as strong as Father or you, Meliodas.
First of all, you have to get rid of such negative thoughts.
"Your eyes can see through evil.
Your mouth speaks the truth.
Your heart is filled with justice.
And your sword destroys evil."
A knight who sticks with the path he believes is right.{Splut here Ryuk}
Wouldn't you say that's the most important quality of a knight?
Margaret!
It's not about Meliodas-sama or about your Father.
You are who you are.
I believe that one day you'll be the kindest and strongest Holy Knight.
Yes!
That's what you call henpecked{hen-pecked}.
Here's good.
What happened when you were fighting Gowther, Commander Dreyfus?
He showed me the past.
He showed me a sin I can never escape from.
Sin?
Go back to the others.
I'll be fine by myself.
Leave me alone for a bit.
All right.
Wasn't Commander Dreyfus pitiful back there?
Throwing in the towel just because of some psychological attack.
Hendrickson isn't like that.
He's the one who should be the king of the world that's coming.
The world that's coming?
Oh, come on, Gil.
The utopia that Commander Hendrickson wants to bring about.
There, it won't matter if you're of royal blood or a slave.
Only the truly strong will survive and get what they want.
You think we'll survive the fight against the demons?
What's the matter?
You're usually overflowing with confidence.
I'm just telling the truth.
Don't worry.
If the demons bring out the fear of death in you, I'll handle them for you.
I'll be counting on you.
Oh, Gil!
Did you move Princess Elizabeth from the dungeon?
Yes, to somewhere no one can reach her.
By the way, when does the ritual begin?
Oh, my.
I see you have some interesting visitors.
But of course.
I'll send you my cute knight.
A thunder cloud?
Thanks, man. That helped me out.
Don't worry about it.
You mind helping out a bit more?
I'll be happy to!
I'm Arthur Pendragon.
I've known about you for a long time.
Well, we can talk peacefully when we're done here.
Agreed!
All right, let's pick up where we left off, Gil!
I'm just doing what I must.
Just so you know, I'm not gonna hold back.
I can't believe they can swing swords that quick!
Not only that, but I feel that neither is going all-out.
You can say the same for the two of us.
Right, King Arthur?

H-He stopped a huge lighting bolt and a violent thrust with just his fingers?!
And what are those markings that appeared on Lord Meliodas?{Remove honorifics @Ryuk?}
It's a manifestation of the devil's power.
The devil's power?
There's no need to explain to someone who's about to die.
Burn!
Ouch! This is hot!
Black flames again?
We got interrupted back there, but this time you'll turn to ash.
This is bad! It's not going out!
Th-Thank you.
That helped a lot!
Are you done with your business?
That helped me a lot, but you don't need to interfere now.
Foolish boy.
More thunder?
I lost count.
There's no mistaking it now. It must be Gilthunder.
And he's most likely fighting the captain.
Yeah, it must be him.
I don't sense Ban around.
Woah! Wait... you?!
Where did he go?
Wh-Where am I?
Margaret{-nee-sama}!
Hawk!{Honorifics?}
Are you here?
Elizabeth?
Is that you, Elizabeth?
Father!
Elizabeth!
Father!
I'm so happy you're all right!
I never expected to get a chance to hold you in my arms again!
Please don't strain yourself!
Have your touching reunion while you can.
This'll be the last time you see one another.
Soon your beloved deadly sinner will be killed by my cute knight.
Deadly sinner?
Lord Meliodas has come for me!{Honorifics?}
I wonder how long you'll manage to keep that spark in your eyes.

How are you gonna respond to this?
Nice! Keep it up!
What's wrong?
Are you going on a campaign again?
Well, it's your dad's orders.
He said it's going to be a long one.
Yeah, it might turn out that way.
In that case... I want you to take me with you!
Hold on a sec. Do you understand what that means?
It could take several years, you know.
But if you leave me how I am now, I'll never become any stronger!
And then, I...
I...
Calm down.
That hurt.
What do you need to do?
To protect Margaret.
That's right.
Are you saying you'll abandon that responsibility to come with me?
Well...
You only need to think about what your own duty is.
But as I am now...
Feeling insecure?
Then I'll teach you a little spell.{refers to the ep title}
A spell?
Over here!
Gil!
I hope you're prepared for this all-out fight with me!
"Your eyes can see through evil.
Your mouth speaks the truth.
Your heart is filled with justice.
And your sword destroys evil."
I haven't forgotten this precept of knighthood I heard that day.
The Seven Deadly Sins broke that precept and betrayed their kingdom.
And I'll say this once more.
I'm stronger than any of the Sins now.
All right then.
Let's finish this.
Impressive. You managed to dodge it.
I tried to buy more time...
I'm sorry.
Don't worry about it! Catch your breath!
We'll finish this quick.
I'm about to take his life.
Come to me.
It would be my pleasure.
I'm being called to join the fight too.
As a special favor to you, I can deliver your parting words to your beloved deadly sinner.
Lord Meliodas won't be defeated!
Well, you can pray as much as you want...
In your daddy's warm embrace.

Those shocks waves are intense even from here.
It seems the captain is facing three opponents all by himself.
King! You have to quickly join the captain.
I can't leave you here.
But...
He can handle it.
He could've dodged that attack just now but didn't.
The captain must be waiting for something.
Gil.
You've always been a kind and gentle person.
When we were children, you made a vow to me.
In the name of my knightly honor, I'll protect you for as long as I live.
You didn't know that vow would become a curse that torments you.
For ten years, you kept deceiving yourself and suffering the trauma.
And now, you're seeking to hurt the person you looked up to the most.
Please, I beg you, free yourself from me already.
Please, don't betray your hero!
Power Amplify
He's not using his devilish powers or his counter attacks.
He must be trying to pull some trick.
We'll take him down before he manages that.

I'm stronger than any of the Sins now. {Changed to the consistency from episode 3}
You freed me from the curse I've been under for so long.
Hero Meliodas!
Gilthunder!
You've betrayed me!
I haven't betrayed you!
Because I've never been your comrade in the first place!
G-Gil!
Bastard!
Meliodas, leave the rest here to me.
You don't know how long I've waited to take revenge on the man who killed my father!
Take my rage!
Margaret.
Gil?
Gil!
Man, you really helped me back there!
Thank you!
It was all thanks to her.
How?
When did you find out?
About Gil, you mean?
Back when we met in the Forest of White Dreams.
Wh-What?!
When he said the spell I'd taught him in the Forest of White Dreams,
I knew that someone was keeping a hostage and watching his every move.
I can't believe you knew all along!
You even fought him for real!
Gil was putting his life on the line for the woman he loves.
So for me to put my own life on the line too, that's being a good bro.
Impossible!
I can't allow things to end like this!
Wow! Where are we?
Well, which world would you like to die in?
Why, you seedy looking little mage!
That habit of forgetting yourself with anger...
How many times must I tell you to get over it?
My disciple, Vivian.
That mark on your neck!
The Crimson Pig!
You...
You!
I never would've guessed she'd be with you, Arthur.
The Boar's Sin of Gluttony, Merlin!
kimi no sonzai dake de sekai wa mangekyou mitai da
With just your presence, the world begins to look like a kaleidoscope.

The scenery fills with color as you run onward.

Here I am, showing you my tears again.

But no matter what, you always stay by my side.

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.

But I'll drink down the scars from your past,

Reflected in the depths of your eyes.

With just your presence, the world begins to look like a kaleidoscope.

Spinning around and around, shining its light.

The seasons change while our laughing voices remain the same,

But you'll never be reduced to a memory,

Because you're right here with me.
Looks like this is another cellar again.
That damned masked woman!
And what is the innkeeper and his employees doing at a time like this?
What a useless bunch!
Now that it's come to this, by the name of the captain in charge of leftover dispoal,
I shall save Elizabeth all by myself!
Shit! Someone's coming!
