The group made their way to Istar, the sacred land of the druids,
in order to boost their strength against the Ten Commandments.
The power Merlin took from Meliodas ten years ago
is kept by the druid chiefs.
Meliodas, who has to overcome a difficult and painful trial, somehow finds himself in Danafor.
And there he met...
I was looking for you, Meliodas.{ep08 @ 22:05}
Liz!
Where did you wander off to? You were gone for some time.
Something fun.
Port Town Ivanloake
Mister, please don't mock me. I'm a serious merchant, you know.
A miracle drug that can raise the dead?
I don't know who told you that,
but if I had such a thing I would've sold it to some rich person
for a million gold coins and retired a long time ago.
So it was a lie after all.
Sorry to bother you.
Though I did hear a strange rumor recently.
Something about a dead person coming back to life in a nearby town.
A dead person coming back to life?
Yeah.
No clue if it's true or not, though.
Tell me the name of the town.
Joricho, let's go.{yes, he says her name wrong}
Okay.
Wait, where are we going next?
Ravens, the city of thieves.
A dump where the most disgusting lowlifes hang out.
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,
seek 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 9
A Promise to the One You Love
Lady Zaneri, what is happening to Sir Meliodas?
This is the tower of trials.
The tower of trials?
Is this a trial he has to pass in order to regain his power?
Yes.
Meliodas' mind is currently being tested on whether it merits regaining his power.
Tested?
Is it difficult to restore his power?
No.
The problem is what happens after it is restored.
Elizabeth,
this is the trial that you must face.
A chalice?
Yes. A flower seed infected with a disease is planted inside.
No amount of water or light will make it sprout.
You will make it bloom.
What? Me?
Who else could I mean?
Someone who has druid blood running through them should possess the power to heal.
If you can't even manage this, you won't be very helpful in the fight ahead.
This is my trial.
What is Zaneri trying to do, showing me such visions?
You've been acting weird ever since we met up.
You're pretty well made for an illusion.
What?
It's soft.
Squishy-squish. Squishy-squish. Squishy-squish.
Don't do that in public!
Ouch.
You're an idiot.
Wandle!
Got anythin' shiny?
Stop acting silly and let's go home.
Okay.
Does she really need to show me such illusions?
It's like I'm really back in that time.
No...
Is that food?
That's food for Wandle.
It's not your dinner, Wandle.
Everything that happened in Liones...
And the Ten Commandments revival...
Maybe all of that was an illusion.
Rain?
Liz?
Hey! Are you all right?
You're as white as a ghost.
It all makes sense now.
So this is my trial.
I wish you hadn't done this, Zaneri!
Sir Meliodas!
Don't get distracted. Concentrate on your own trial.
A-All right.
But, Lady Zaneri,
I've never seen Sir Meliodas show so much pain and suffering.
Just what is Sir Meliodas' trial?
Hell.
What?
Hey, Meliodas!
Stop daydreaming! We're in the middle of a mission!
The peaceful days and cruel parting with the person he loves madly.
He's reliving those memories thousands of times.
Every time he lets his anger take over, he loses control and destroys everything.
That's just...
This is a trial designed to erase—
no, to snuff out his emotions.
Even if his power is restored,
if we leave the danger of him losing himself in his anger again,
then it's all for nothing.
This is the Cave of Training. Druid warriors come here to hone their skills.
Say, Jenna,
what do you plan to make us do?
To make you train, what else?
Training?
You think I need to be even stronger?
All of you are far too frail to face off against the legendary demons, the Ten Commandments.
Did you just call me frail?!
I'll have you forged into warriors who can protect this world.
By the way, there are some people who already went inside.
I think you know each other.
Could it be Ban?
No, it's probably Guila and Jericho.
Sorry to disappoint you.
Him?!
What? You're out already, Hendy?
Hendrickson!
You survived?!
What?
Oh dear, what a pitiful boy.
I understand your reasons for hating him,
but now he's back to his old self.
So for my sake, can you hold back your anger?
Look! There's something more there.
What is that?
A tattered rag?
No! This is the smell of something well-burned!
I conjecture that it is druids' leftovers!
This isn't leftovers or a tattered rag!
It's the three tatters!
And what was that during today's training?
It might raise morale, but if we keep spending so much on booze we'll get in trouble.
You should be a bit more stricter sometimes, Meliodas.
Wait, Liz.
Meliodas.
Let's be together forever.
Of course.
Hey, Wandle!
Yay!
Nemeza.
Awaken.
Where...
Why did you bring me back?!
Judging by how it's going, you're just going to keep repeating the cycle of destruction...
unable to restrain your anger.
Give up.
If you continue, you will lose your mind before your emotions are snuffed out.
Damn it!
It's fine.
No one would blame you.
You've always been putting your life on the line to fight for us.
Right?
Elizabeth...
You concentrate on your own trial!
Y-Yes!
Zaneri, send me in one more time.
Th-That's reckless.
Even you won't be able to endure much more of that.
Don't worry. I can do this.
I'll become stronger
for what I have to protect now.
If you continue, you will really lose your mind!
You might even die.
I can't move forward unless I overcome this trial!
Sir Meliodas...
Very well.
But promise me you will return safe.
Yeah. I promise.
I know the answer.
In order to control my power, I need to abandon my emotions.
It's easy, right, Meliodas?
Meliodas.
Meliodas!
I just need to completely forget about Liz.
I just need to get used to Liz's death.
It's easy, right, Meliodas?
That's all there is to it.
But that's impossible!
I can't just stand and watch!
I'm bringing him back!
Please wait, Lady Zaneri!
Out of my way!
He can't take any more!
It's impossible
to forget about you.
I can't get used to losing you.
Hey, you!
Why did you help me? You stupid softie!
Every time we meet and part again,
my love for you just grows more.
And my anger grows with it!
I...
can't do it.
I know that Sir Meliodas will come back to us safely.
He promised, didn't he?!
Sometimes I think to myself...
That if I hadn't met you,
I probably wouldn't be so happy spending a day doing nothing like this.
I feel the same way.
And that's why...
I don't want to see this ever again.
I can't bear it.
Please believe in him!
You don't know what you're talking about, little girl!
I don't want to repeat it.
Never!
Never again!
Yo, I'm back just like I promised!
Meliodas!
Why are you crying, Elizabeth?
Um...
It just happened when I saw your tears.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Meliodas, since you overcame the trial, does that mean you really abandoned your emotions?
What are you talking about, Zaneri?
Everything precious is still right here.
Then how did you...
I passed the trial.
Now restore my power.
Ban!
Wake up already!
Keep it down, Jorcho.{he's mangling her name even more}
How late I sleep is my business.
The people in here have been staring at you for a while now.
It's making me really nervous.
I'm not the one they're looking at. It's you Joricho.
What? M-Me?
Well-dressed people draw their attention easily.
As does the smell of money and women.
I couldn't get any useful info here.
Let's find a place to sleep.
Wait!
There's no telling how many of them would come at you.
Do your best to avoid trouble.
But you know...
Don't dilly-dally. I'm still sleepy.
Five gold coins up front.
She's paying.
Me?!
Second floor, end of the corridor. There's one bed.
I'll pay! I'll pay!
I'm paying!
By the way, I heard a dead person came back to life here in Ravens.
Is it true?
Haven't heard.
Probably just some brat's bad attempt at talking big.
More importantly, don't get too into it and break the bed.
It's pretty worn out.
What?
Bugs!
Look! There they are!
Bugs have to live too.
Five gold coins for this is a total rip-off!
This place is worse than the Baste Dungeon!
This is one of the better ones in town.
Get into bed already.
Aren't you going to sleep in the bed, Ban?
You can lie next to—
I'm more used to sleeping on the floor.
And here I was worried over you getting a cold.
You're more of a spoiled girl than I thought.
You seem pretty familiar with this town.
Have you been here before?
I lived here as a kid.
It was a long time ago.
Oh! I wanna hear about your childhood!
Hey!
What?
Beat him up and take everything.
H-Hey!
Someone is getting attacked by thugs!
Leave them be.
I told you not to stick your neck into trouble.
This is the norm in this town.
But that's still no...
We know who you are, freak.
You're the one who brought the dead back to life.
W-Wait, what?!
What are you doing?
You're the one who said we should do our best to avoid trouble.
I said do your best.
Not never do it.
A-A fox?!
A Beastman!
A werefox, eh?
That explains the superhuman movements.
You pretended to get beat down,
but you avoided every single blow by a millimeter.
What?
And you have rather sticky fingers too.
I'll give it back for you.
M-My money pouch?!
When did you get that?
You're pretty good, sonny.
And I've lost my edge somewhat too.
They said you brought the dead back to life.
Is that true?
Unfortunately, Beastmen don't have that power.
If that was all you needed, I'll be going now.
Hey! What's wrong?
Jericho, clear out the bed.
I've escaped from the hands of humans countless times,
but even I can't escape from the hands of old age.
We Beastmen are always scorned by humans.
We're driven from our homes, and have trouble finding food.
You humans probably don't understand how it feels
when the only way to live is to steal from others.
Food thief!
You again!
I'm not letting you off this time!
I'll toss you into the Aberdeen Prison!
Damn brat!
Aberdeen Prison
Hey, boy!
Here.
Want some?
I'm gonna break out of here.
Wanna come with me?
Those are not the eyes of a child.
What's your name, boy?
Ban. What about you?
I'm Zhivago.
Nice to meet you, Ban.
