Due to the power of the demons, Holy Knight Commander Hendrickson
triggered the demonic transformation of the new generation,
causing widespread destruction throughout the capital. {Split}
To save Meliodas and Gilthunder, Elizabeth willingly went with Hendrickson.
Meliodas was about to chase after them, but before he could do so, Ban blocked his way.
What joke are you playing at a moment of urgency like this?
Say, Cap'n,
I've been trying not to say or even think about this for the longest time,
but I feel like the time is right for this.
Are you from the Demon Clan?
I guess your silence means the answer is yes.
Now's not the time to be discussing this.
Elizabeth—
It may not be important to you, Cap'n, but it's really important to me.
If I kill you, she'll be revived!
Who the hell told you such nonsense?!
Some stuck-up voice that calls herself a Goddess!
She spoke to us through some huge horn!
Ban, you idiot!
If you don't stop this right now, you're not my friend any more!
What? When did you and I become friends?
Shut your trap or I'll butcher you myself, you stupid swine.
If I went seriously at you, you'd be the one biting the dust, you know!
Then kill me!
Please...
The Goddess told me that you're related to the Demon that killed Elaine.
She said she'll revive her if I kill you.
I see.
All right then.
Kill me, Ban.
Cap'n...
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 22
What I Can Do for You
Where am I?
Hey! Wake up!
What in the world is happening?
It's...
It's as if all hell broke loose on the city.
Brother...
I'll become stronger than you...
So they are still alive in there!
But how we turn them back to normal?
Diane!
Snap out of it!
Stop this already, Helbram!
You...
You, you, you...
Guila!
She'll be all right. Leave her to me.
I see you're doing well, Dreyfus.
Lady Elizabeth, please stand back.
What are you planning to do?
Hendrickson...
I'm responsible for changing you to your current form,
and for bringing chaos to the Kingdom.
I know it's not enough to atone for it, but I should be the one to put an end to it all.
Do you seriously think you can stop me?
Yes. I have to stop you no matter what.
As a Holy Knight of the Kingdom.
And as your friend.
Cap'n, are you serious?
Would I joke about it?
Go ahead and kill me.
That'll revive the woman you love, right?
I'd probably do the same if I were in your shoes.
I'm grateful for this, Cap'n.
I'll never forget you.
We'll be together soon, Elaine.
You can't strike back after all that!
You yourself said I could kill you!
I didn't say I wouldn't fight back!
Wouldn't you do the same if you were in my shoes?
What?
Elizabeth wouldn't think twice before sacrificing herself.
I can't leave her to it knowing that!
I don't have time to die here!
I understand.
But still, I can't really stand down either.
Stop it already, Ban!
Shut up!
This might be the only way to revive Elaine!
You blockhead!
Hawk, wait!
Are you seriously going to kill Meliodas because of some voice
that spoke to you through some horn?!
I see how it is!
You don't consider Meliodas a friend either, huh?!
The Cap'n is a great friend.
But if the voice is right, Elaine will come back to life!
And if it's not, you'll have lost a friend too!
Do you honestly think Elaine would be happy to come back to life in that way?!
Then why don't you tell me what I should do?
You're just a pig who rummages through food scraps! {Split}
Ban!
After Elaine's death,
I did feel a bit better when I met Meliodas and the others.
There was never a dull moment with them.
But every so often I remember...
I remember that I'll be forever alone,{Nice meme}
and that I'll never see her again, in this world or the next.
This world without her is like hell.
Can you understand that?
No!
I understand.
But now, do what you have to do as the Fox's Sin of the Seven Deadly Sins! {Needs full name. Not just "Fox Sin"}
Captain's orders!
We'll finish this after we've sorted out the current situation.
And then...
No matter what happens, you're my friend.
Roger.
Meliodas! Are you all right?
Hawk, take me to Elizabeth.
But I don't think you're in shape to fight.
That's why I'll take a short nap.
You're going to sleep?!
That was fast!
For goodness sake, making me do all the work...
Master, take good care of the Cap'n.
That goes without saying.
I am his friend after all!
Gil!
Gil! Please, don't die!
I'm borrowing his guy.
What?!
Wha—Ban! What do you think you're throwing?!
Good thing I pinched this when we were in Vaizel.
Super Healing Spell
Super Healing Spell!
Oh... Maybe I should've used it on the Cap'n too...
Oh, well...
Stop this, Helbram!
There's no more reason for us to fight!
Don't make me hurt you any more!
I... You... You... Friend...
Ban!
If you hurt him, I'll kill you!
Helbram's my best friend!
If he's your friend, kill him already.
I know...
I know I have to.
Quickly...
You... can kill me... again... and again...
{timing:dakara}So quickly...
While I... I'm still me...
K-Kill me!
What's going on?
The new generation have turned into monsters?
Jericho! Where are you?
My brother's voice...
Did he come looking for me?
Brother, I'm here.
Jericho!
I became strong, Brother.
Praise me.
Someone... please kill me!
Pierce! {TS after this}
Pierce
Acid Down. {TS after this}
Acid Down
Commander Dreyfus!
Have you forgotten, Hendrickson?
Just like my will, this body of mine does not rust, decay, or rot.
Not even with all that magic power of yours.
I see you haven't lost your edge, Dreyfus.
That's why I'll regret not having you as my friend.
That regenerative power, and that strange appearance...
You're using unnatural powers.
You've fallen low, Hendrickson.{the ringing when he turns on his sword light is hurting my brain...}
Milky Way Breaker Blade! {Typeset after}
Milky Way Breaker Blade
I wouldn't say that.
From my point of view, it's the humans who are as low as worms.
Giddy-up! Giddy-up!{the "tontokoto" that Hawk is saying is an onomatopoeia for hooves galloping. I can't think of anything quite fitting that, but if whoever edits can think of something, go ahead}
Please be safe still, Elizabeth!
Two heroes are coming to rescue you!
Did I get him?{normally the answer is "no"}
Lady Elizabeth!
This looks bad.
Well, that makes my job a bit harder.
I have to hurry up and bring her where we need her before her blood dries.
It's over, Hendrickson!
Yes, it is.
Gustaf! Stay strong!
Gilthunder...
Please... save my... sister.
Kill me.
Stop saying that!
I don't want to kill you!
Then piss off.
Ban?
Harlequin, quickly... kill me...
No! I don't want to!
Don't say such things!
You're my best friend!
Then I renounce our friendship!
Spirit Spear Chastiefol, Form Four,
Sunflower!
Ban, kill me.
Sure. I'll kill you.
Her body—
This is your death as a Holy Knight.
Don't blame me, Jericho.
Helbram...
Did I manage to be your best friend until the very end?
Guila!
Are you all right now?
Yes. I'm in top shape.
Then let's all go help the Captain and Elizabeth!
I'll gather the others.
Ban and I will meet up with you after taking out the rest of the new generation.
All right!
Don't mess up.
Who do you think you're talking to?
Them?!
The Seven Deadly Sins?
Why are the rebels helping?
I can sense the Captain's magic.
The magic research lab is up ahead.
So there is something there.
Long time no see.
We just came back from a mission and what do we find here?
Dawn Roar?
Long time no see.
I did want to fight you again, but it'll have to wait.
You can leave the rest to us.
Thank you!
Catch you later!
You've used up your magic power. You have no chance of winning.
You fought well, but it's over, Dreyfus.
Admit your defeat.
You're someone I'd hate to have to kill.
You were a good teacher, friend, and rival to me.
It'a shame.
Acid Down.
I'll at least grant you a painless death.
Giddy-up! Giddy-up! {same as before}
Meliodas, huh?
Just as I thought, my acid isn't very effective of those who bear dark powers of the Demon Clan.
Dreyfus...
Elizabeth!{lol those teeth look creepily human}
I'm a sage of the forest.
Born among the druids,
those who worship nature and the goddesses, and despises the demons.
Back then, I vaguely felt it when I laid eyes on you.
The enormous ominous magic squirming inside of you.
I was in awe of you. I dreamed of being like you.
And now, I've obtained power like your's!
Elizabeth, I'll end this right away.
When this is over, let's run the shop together again.
Okay?
Hawk, can you take care of her?
O-Of course!
I'll carry her quickly and safely!
What are you saying?
All right, go!
I can't let you take her.
Don't you dare die on me, Elizabeth!
I'll be very angry with you if you die!
You underestimated me.
Right back at you.
Whoa, what's that?!
Thanks...
Elizabeth...
I'll get you for this!
She was supposed to be on the verge of death.
How is she here?
Still alive, Cap'n?
The Seven Deadly Sins.
I'm extremely delighted to have the legendary Seven Deadly Sins gather in my honor.
Also...
It's the royal Holy Knights.
They're not here for the Seven Deadly Sins,
but to make sure you don't get away!
We already got rid of all the demons in the city.
It wouldn't be any fun if it didn't come to this!
I don't know how you managed to take out that many of those scum,
but I must say, excellent job, Seven Deadly Sins!
But you can't defeat me.
We will.
It's futile!
You're not getting away!
Can you please die four times?
Otherwise, he's going to be angry with me.
I'm invincible.
What's this?
Invincible or not, I won't be satisfied until I take you down!
Double Hammer!
Double Hammer
You overgrown little girl...
Did you really think this kind of attack would work on me?
What?!
Since you're a beginner, let me give you some advice.
The devil's power does heal wounds, but unless you're an immortal, damage builds up inside of you.
How many times have you regenerated?
Combined Technique: Metal Crash! {Typeset after}
Combined Technique: Metal Crash
They're totally fired up over there, aren't they?
On the other hand, Ban, you're remarkably calm.
Not as much as you.
It may be because I'm late to the party,
but how did Hendrickson manage to get all this power?
According to Guila, Hendrickson has been researching a devil corpse for many years.
A devil corpse?
Not paying attention can cost you your life in battle, Ban.
Hendy, where did you find that thing?
What?
I'm asking you...
where the hell you got that thing?!
Th-That's...
This thing was the beginning of everything.
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.
