Hendrickson and Dreyfus commanded the Holy Knights
after the death of Great Holy Knight Zaratras.
However, Hendrickson was secretly scheming to revive the Demons, which threw the kingdom into chaos.
During the battle, Dreyfus failed to stop Hendrickson and lost his life.
Meliodas had supposedly killed Hendrickson afterwards,
but the truth of what happened to him is still shrouded in mystery.
Hendrickson!
You're supposed to be dead by Meliodas' hand!
I'll avenge my father right here and now!
Wait! Now's not the time!
Right now, you need to concentrate on the threat before you.
Shut up!
Dreyfus is alive.
This is a tale of ancient times, from when the worlds of humans and non-humans were not separated.
The 3,000 year old seal has been partially broken.
The elite guard of the Demon Clan, the Ten Commandments,
were looking to drown Britannia in blood and terror.
Against them stand the deadly sinners of the legendary band of knights.
They are the Seven Deadly Sins.

Episode 6
The Atonement of the Great Holy Knight
My father is alive?
Impossible!
Everyone, I'd like you to create an opening for me to strike it.
Like hell we'll work with you!
What do we do?
Dark Snow
What the heck are those black things?
Be careful!
You'll be killed instantly if it touches you!
Impudent bastard!
Rising Tornado!
Rising Tornado
Iron Hammer of the Thunder Emperor
Iron Hammer of the Thunder Emperor!

Dark Nebula
Long Shield
P-Perfect timing, Griamore.
Why didn't you cover Hendrickson too?
I'm fine.
This one is a lot tougher than the red one before it.
{thought}This is probably the same type of Demon that Hendrickson merged with.
To think that your filthy blood once flowed through my veins
makes me nauseous and angry at myself.
Don't strain your back fighting by yourself, old man.
Whirl Shock!
Whirl Shock
Thunderclap Strike!
Thunderclap Strike
Purge!
Purge
Did he kill it?
That wasn't his Acid magic ability.
What did he do?
Wait, was that...
Thank you for helping me, Gilthunder and Howzer.
You've really grown strong.
What is the meaning of this, Hendrickson?
Purge was my father's ability.
How are you using it?!
Purge is a secret technique of the Druids that erases unnatural spirits.
Just like your father, Sir Zaratras, I was born among the Druids—
the sages of the forest who worship the Goddess Clan.
He was the most noble and selfless person I've known.
Both Dreyfus and I held him in high regard.
He was a true Great Holy Knight.
Then why did you kill him then?!
Answer me!
It was ten years ago.
10 Years Ago Danafor
Under His Majesty's orders, Dreyfus and I were headed towards the Kingdom of Danafor
to investigate the mysterious calamity that had caused its ruin.
That was where it all began.
It's hard to believe.
Six years ago, a kingdom with a large population was prospering right where this huge hole is now.
Did a meteor fall here?
I don't think so.
I can feel residual magic from this hole.
You can't be implying that someone created this hole.
Either way, it's certain that this was a force beyond human understanding.
Man, we have no decent information or clues.
And we can't see a thing. We're practically groping through the dark.
Dreyfus! Did you hear that?!
Yeah.
Could we have found a survivor of the calamity?
Maybe it's a ghost.
But we won't get anywhere in our search if we can't see to the tip of our noses.
I guess it's up to me, then. You owe me an ale when we get back.
What do you mean?
An Incantation Orb?
You like to come prepared.
I got it from Lady Merlin before we set off.
Now that I think about it, you're not a fan of the darkness, are you?
I've had a formative experience with it.
Back when I was very young and lived in the Druid village.
If I remember right, among Druids, women become Apostles of the Goddesses,
and men become priests who assist them, right?
Yeah, but not everyone.
Most are just lay believers.
I was one of the latter.
When I was a child, I'd often get put on burial watch.
I'd have to keep an eye on a dead body every night until nothing but bones were left
so that it didn't get revived by an unnatural spirit.
I hated doing that.
I wanted to get away from the body as soon as possible.
And that's how your power of Acid was born inside of you, huh?
Because of that power,
little Hendy was labeled as a coward or cursed child,
leading to the eventual banishment from the village.
It's not funny, you know.
Hendrickson, you're no coward.
You're just a kind person.
Did you eat something spoiled, Dreyfus?
I'm serious.
You have it in you to become a fine Great Holy Knight.
And it's not just me who thinks so. My brother and His Majesty do too.
Hey, wait a minute.
I'm not Great Holy Knight material.
Aren't you the one aiming for that post?
I did think that's what I wanted for a while.
But I was wrong.
What I really want is to be the strongest Holy Knight who can protect the peace of the Kingdom.
And to continue being the pride of my son, Griamore.
Dreyfus, you're more childish than you look.
Wh-What did you say?!
But I envy you for that.
As long as my brother is around, the day I become the strongest Holy Knight,
and the day you become a Great Holy Knight, are far in our future.
True that.
Allow me to assist with those ambitions.
That presence...
It's almost like...
Is this the one responsible for Danafor's ruin?
What is it?
It's neither a human, fairy, nor giant.
This ominous magic...
This can only be someone from the Demon Clan of legends!
Humans, if you lend me your bodies, I shall grant you your desires.
Unfortunately for you,
you're asking the wrong people.
In that case, I'll just have to take your body by force!
Dreyfus!
What's the matter?
Weren't you going to take control of me?
Dreyfus!
I have to admit you surprised me.
Resisting my mind manipulation spell.
You have an unyielding will and soul.
My will is the sword that cuts through everything,
and the shield that protects the kingdom and its people, my friends, and child.
I've taken liking to you.
Now I just have to take you.
Try it if you can.
There are other ways.
Oh, this man is a Druid, huh?
The tribe that reveres the evil Goddesses Clan and abhors us, the Demon Clan.
Did you take him?!
I see. You're an irreplaceable friend and mentor to this man.
Oh, your brother was born among the Druids as well?
Isn't that right, Dreyfus?
You bastard! Get out of Hendrickson's body right now!
Or else I'll—
Or else you'll kill me?
Go right ahead.
It would be only this vessel who dies.
Frustrating, isn't it?
If only you could use Purge like Hendrickson and Zaratras.
So what do we do?
Fight to the death?
Or go out for a drink together?
Do what you want.
But if you kill Hendrickson, I'll find a way to kill you.
What a beautiful friendship.
Very well. I guarantee this man's survival.
I'm sorry, Brother.
Forgive me, Griamore.
Let's head back now.
Yes.
We have to report to His Majesty.
That we found nothing here.
By then, my will was already under his control.
When we got back to the capital, he used the two of us
to conspire the murder of Sir Zaratras, who he deemed a threat.
He blamed that on the Seven Deadly Sins and banished them.
Why did he go after the Seven Deadly Sins?
Sixteen years ago, he had a fierce duel against Sir Meliodas at the Kingdom of Danafor.
He was defeated and his plans foiled.
With Meliodas?!
He was laying low and regaining his strength inside Dreyfus' body,
until the day he could exact his revenge.
16 Years Ago Kingdom of Danafor
The demon goes by the name "Fraudrin."
And to Meliodas, he's...
the one who killed his one true love.
Liz...
In the end, I wasn't able to protect you.
Don't cry.
We'll meet again.
Sir Meliodas...
Yo, Elizabeth.{Hey, Elizabeth}
Jeez!
I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't woken up...
I was so scared.
Don't cry.
By the way, where are we?
What happened to the others?
There's nothing to worry about.
We're in Castle Camelot. {not sure if we should cap the "Royal Castle part"}
As for everyone else...
How does it feel?
Thank you. I've mostly regained sensation in it.
I'm sorry, Merlin.
You always protected me,
but I couldn't protect you...
"It's not becoming of a man to cry that much."
I'm sure that's what My Lady would say.
No...
Merlin is surely disappointed in me.
Then how about we ask her and find out?
Sir Meliodas!
Have your wounds healed?
No, not really.
U-Um...
So, what happened after I passed out?
I doubt Galand would just leave without finishing us off.
I tweaked his memories a bit.
He thinks he finished you all off.
Gowther! You're back to your former form.
But what's with that get-up?
I have no clothes.
No need to flash us.
So everything's okay now, then?
What do you mean?
Well, you know...
No need to worry about me losing control any more.
I now have this control assistance bracelet.
Merlin's prototype magic item, the Peace Amulet.
Did you put it on yourself?
No.
This is where we part ways.
There is something I have to do.
Oh, crap...
I caught Gowther off guard, and put it on him.
That voice!
Merlin!
I'm here.
What the... It's a speaking orb!
It's Merlin's Sacred Treasure.
Sacred Treasure Morning Star Aldan
Right before my body turned completely to stone,
Sacred Treasure Morning Star Aldan
I managed to transfer my soul to the Morning Star Aldan.
Thank goodness.
Wait, is it okay to be happy?
Not really. Having no body is inconvenient.
It seems that even my magic power isn't enough to undo that Commandment.
According to Galand, a Commandment is a power coming from the Demon King.
I'm guessing the only thing that could counteract it would be the power of the Goddesses.
But the worst threat is Galand's own strength.
We could do absolutely nothing against him, and he didn't even have any magic at the time.
Overpower
Complete and utter defeat...
And there are ten of those monsters.
With that all said and done...
Let's come up with some kind of plan!
A plan for what?
What else? A plan to beat the Ten Commandments, of course.
That's easier said than done.
What kind of plan can we devise against an enemy we couldn't even scathe?
But people a long time ago, along with the other clans,
fought against those terrifying foes, right?
I guess people were just stronger back then.
Exactly, Sir Hawk.
Or to turn it around, we're weak.
In an age of peace, not everyone takes up a sword now.
But if you live amidst constant fighting,
even children need to learn to use a sword to survive.
3,000 years ago, Britannia was the scene of wars so fierce that blood never stopped flowing.
So there is only one way to beat them.
We just have become stronger.{how didn't they think about that sooner?}
Now Merlin's making it sound so easy.
That's fine.
My Lady sounds convincing.
A power up, huh? That's got me riled up!
The basic idea is simple.
First, let's review our combat potential.
Meliodas
Magic: 400
Combat: 960
Spirit: 2,010
Power Level: 3,370
The Captain's power level is 3,370.
Diane
Magic: 900
Combat: 1,870
Spirit: 480
Power Level: 3,250
Diane's power level is 3,250.
Gowther
Magic: 1,300
Combat: 500
Spirit: 1,300
Power Level: 3,100
Gowther's power level is 3,100.
My power level is 4,710.
Merlin
Magic: 3,540
Combat: 70
Spirit: 1,100
Power Level: 4,710
King
Magic: 3,370
Combat: 0
Spirit: 820
Power Level: 4,190
King's power level is 4,190.
Ban
Magic: 1,380
Combat: 930
Spirit: 910
Power Level: 3,220
Ban's power level is 3,220.
Power Level: 21,840
All six of us have a total power level of 21,840.
Power Level: 3,000
Don't forget my power level of 3,000 either!
Power Level: 3,000
Let's now consider the combat potential of the Ten Commandments.
Power Level: 26,000
With all his magic removed, Galand has power level 26,000.
If we assume that the other members of the Ten Commandments have the same power level,
then that's a total power level of 260,000.
Power Level: 260,000
We can probably assume that with their magic restored, they'd be over 300,000.
And if they summon Albions or lower-level demons,
the situation gets even worse.
We have to cover that huge gap by powering up everyone.
Princess Elizabeth and Arthur,
the awakening of your magic powers will be crucial for this fight as well.
But...
Merlin, you're overestimating me.
I couldn't protect the people, the Holy Knights, or even you for that matter.
Arthur...
I'll do it, Lady Merlin!
Whatever I can do—
no, even if I can't do it now—
I'll work hard, and do whatever is necessary!
I like the look in your eyes.
And there's another key thing we mustn't forget.
It's time to look for him.
You mean me?
One of the Seven Deadly Sins,
Lion's Sin of Pride, Escanor
the Lion's Sin of Pride,
Escanor.
The final member of the Seven Deadly Sins?
All right!
Now that we've got a plan, it's time to stop sitting around.
Y'know, if I got my power level to one million, we could just blow them all away.
Now, let's see then...
I think we should tell all this to Diane too.
Hey! Don't just go and ignore me!
She got beaten up pretty badly too.
Diane's a tough cookie, so I'm sure she's fine. {tough cookie or just tough?}
Diane! Wh—
That was kind of dangerous.
Oh, wait... That was King.
Don't just go around poppin' out of nowhere.
Where have you been anyway?
Had some things to do.
Things were pretty bad here with demons showing up all over town.
What? Here too?
Is Diane all right?
I want to see you!
So that I can tell you exactly how I feel!
Clip-clop! Clip-clop! Clip-clop!
Diane!
Who's there?
It's me, Diane.
Who are you?
What?!

Episode 6
Gilthunder and Griamore
On duty: Merlin, Arthur
Today, we'll talk about these two.
Gilthunder and Griamore are cousins, right?
Yeah. Zaratras is Gil's dad.
Dreyfus is Griamore's dad.
On duty: Merlin, Arthur
For brothers, they don't look much alike.
On duty: Merlin, Arthur
Well, they have different mothers.
So Dreyfus takes after his mother in voice and face.
Next time, on The Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of the Commandments:
"Where Memories Go"
Episode 7
Where Memories Go
That means I may become a huge pig like Mom!
That's too huge though.
