Your expression of being knocked down from hope to despair...{ep23@23:36}
I really love it.{ep23@23:41}
Sir Meliodas?{ep23@23:44}
Let's settle this once and for all, Fraudrin.
This time I'll erase you from this world with not a trace remaining.
Meliodas!
Th-That magic I'm sensing from you...
It's just like from way back then!
You monster!
He's beating one of the Ten Commandments like it's nothing!
Of course he is.
Fraudrin's power level is 31,000.
The Captain has almost double that.
And using his demonic powers makes him even more powerful.
Both 3,000 years ago, and 16 years ago,
while you were indulging in your sugary sweet dream,
all we did was wait and yearn for revenge against the Goddess Clan, and you!
It was much the same for me, you know.
Don't go dying on me just yet.
Hey...
This isn't like the Cap'n...
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.{nice of them to keep this the same for most of S2 :)}
Episode 24
You're All I Need
3,000 Years Ago
Lord Meliodas has betrayed us?!
So it would seem.
He killed Aranak and Zeno who were with him, then disappeared.
That's horrible!
Does that mean he ran away from the fight against the Goddess Clan?
That's not an adequate way to put it.
He didn't run away.
He devoted himself to fighting for the one he loves.
Can you understand that?
No, I cannot.
I'm Fraudrin the Selflessness of the Ten Commandments, the elite guard of the Demon King.
The Demon King hasn't bestowed a Commandment upon you.
You're just a sub.
Shut up, traitor!
I still have my pride as a member of the Demon Clan!
The pride that you've lost!
Zaratras gave me a good idea.
I, too, don't intend to sell my life cheaply!
Let's see how long you can keep that creepy smile of yours.
What's he doing?
He's going to blow himself up using all of his life force.
B-Blow himself up?!
Fear not.
He can't destroy this Perfect Cube.
That's not the issue.
He can't kill the Captain either, of course.
Even if I can't kill you, I can at least wipe Liones off the map.
Brother... No...
Pull yourself together, Zeal!
Because of you, the few humans who've managed to hide and survive will now perish.
If you're gonna kill yourself, get it over with.
I'm nodding off here.
So he is a villainous scoundrel after all!
Merlin...
Tell me the Cap'n is provoking the enemy with a plan in mind.
Dreyfus, I'll at least take you to the land of the dead with me.
Too bad for your son.
Don't worry, Griamore.
Dad will be here with you until the end.
Dad...
Welcome back, Dad!
I had ten sword bouts with Gil today, and I won three times!
Really? You're getting strong.
No...
I want to become a Holy Knight like you, Dad.
I'm sure you will!
I was only acting
so that people didn't notice I'd possessed him.
Dad!
No!
Griamore!
Don't kill Dad and the others!
Stop it!
What are you doing?!
That idiot!
{overlap}Griamore! No!
No, please don't do this!
Release the wall, Griamore!
Let go!
Release the wall, Griamore!
Please...
You're a good boy...
He didn't run away.
He devoted himself to fighting for the one he loves.
Can you understand that?
I understand now.
I won't kill your father or anyone else.
Promise?
I do.
So release the wall and go to your father.
Apparently I was the one indulging in a sugary sweet dream.
Can you understand that?
I didn't want to understand.
Kill me!
No!
Meliodas...
Huh?
{wh-}What was I doing?
Oh, right!
We got attacked by demons on the way to Liones...
And... And... Mom...
M-Mom!
Mom!
M-Mom, y-you're...
alive!
Miss Merlin!
Long time no see, Escanor.
I was sure it was your magic that I sensed.
I heard of your exploits in the fight, worthy of the name of the Lion's Sin.
Still a peerless fighter, I presume.
You're too kind.
I heard you'd turned to stone,
but of course I was certain you'd be all right.
What is the matter?
We haven't seen each other in a while, but you don't look too happy.
Ban and... is that the Captain?!
How long do you plan on keeping me waiting?
Just say what you want to say.
All right.
I'm happy you're alive, my friend.
All right then, we should probably drink tonight to celebrate our victory.
We saw the Captain lose his life with our own eyes.
Meliodas has died and resurrected many times.
What?
It's a curse that the Demon King cast on him.
A curse to not die?
That's impressive.
The problem is that each time he's resurrected, his emotions get eaten away.
His personality regresses to what it was when he was known as the most wicked of demons.
Cap—
Leave him alone for now.
Fraudrin may be the root cause of many tragedies,
but the way Meliodas killed him doesn't bode well.
We now lay the souls of four Holy Knights to rest.
They gave their lives for the kingdom and its people.
Let us pray for them.
Marmas...
You died too quickly.
Lord Denzel!
Why didn't you tell us anything?
Dogedo, rest in piece with our comrades.
I never really got to have a proper talk with my brother.
Why did he die for someone like me?
He would always complain about me...
No...
Why are you two still alive while Lord Denzel is dead?!
Idiots!
Stop!
They were being controlled by a demon!
Everyone!
Please respect the words of your king and see off the souls of the dead in peace.
Your Majesty...
And I further beseech that as swiftly as you're able
you'll restore the kingdom and its morals that have been ravaged by the demons.
To succeed at that, all of our hearts need to be in harmony.
This sure was totaled.
It's barely a shadow of what it was.
Oh, some bottles have survived!
And I can salvage some food too.
Well, well... These turned out rather tasty looking.
They're probably not, though.
I guess I should take a toast for getting revenge for Liz.
Drinking alone is nice sometimes.
I knew you'd be here.
Elizabeth?
Why are you here?
Because I want to be.
Okay, but there's nothing decent here.
Yeah, that's fine.
I'll have some.
What do you think? Bad, right?
Y-Yes.
If I close my eyes, I can still feel that warmth from when I first met you
But it's still good.
What is that taste that's bad and good at the same time?
It's the taste of food made by the person
who kindly helped a girl who didn't have anyone to rely on after collapsing from exhaustion.
It's sealed off somewhere deep inside my chest
The taste of a very kind person.
But your unyielding courage
What was Ban's expression when he was looking at me earlier?
Slowly melts away that seal
Geez...
I'll protect them with my two hands
I can't even look my friend in the eyes anymore.
What's wrong with me?
These sins I commited, the past I can't erase, and the one I love...
When I killed Fraudrin, it felt really good.
Whatever path I come across, as long as I'm alive
In fact, I still feel that way.
Meliodas...
I'm afraid that I'm returning to what I was a long time ago.
I will walk on while bearing my loneliness
But unless I do it, I can't save you.
Even if the world were to end tomorrow
Save me?
As long as you're by my side
I'll surely think of you over and over again
It's okay.
It's okay, Meliodas.
So gently hold my hand
All right, I'm off.
By the way, I won't be home for a while, since I'll be helping with the repairs on the castle and city.
I trust you'll take care of the place. {he's using some jargon, so if you can come up with a jargon phrase here, that'd be nice}
Wipe the sleep out of your eyes and get going already!
Ouch!
S-Seriously?!
The city!
The castle!
They're back the way they were!
How is that, Miss Merlin?
Great. Good technique, Escanor.
I managed to restore all the buildings last night.
Well, I was the one who destroyed more than half of them.
But that's just outward appearance.
Outward appearance?
The buildings may be restored,
but that doesn't bring back the dead,
or heal people's hearts.
But make no mistake— the Seven Deadly Sins claimed victory in this war.
It won't kill you to be a bit happy about it, Captain.
Oh, yeah.
Meliodas...
Cap'n...
What?
Where the hell were you last night?!
The victory party wasn't the same without you!
Ban...
Sorry about yesterday.
For some reason, I wasn't sure how I was supposed to react.
I mean, it's not like anything between us has changed.
You didn't do anything wrong.
I thought you'd say that.
You're always acting as if nothing happened.
It was dumb to worry—
Shut up!
O' my comrade, noble Wrath,
though afflicted by curses are we,
the beautiful roses blossoming within our hearts remain untainted.
O' my comrade, gallant Sin.
A poem?
Oh, but please don't get the wrong idea.
I would never profess to understand the entirety of what the captain feels.
Just as a fellow cursed being, I can somewhat understand the suffering it entails.
So, please, do try to cheer up.
Eight points.
What? E-Eight points?!
Out of how many?
Listen now,
you're not supposed to explain the poem each time you recite one.
By the way, about that "beautiful rose" part...
For me, it's Miss Merlin, while for you it's—
All right, enough of that.
Why won't you let me finish my explanation?
Escanor,
Ban,
thank you!
Is Griamore really going to return to normal?
Yes, Lady Merlin assured me of it.
Griamore encountered a monster inside the training cave of the druids.
It's the magic of an ancient ghost called an Anaon.
It reads a person's mind and turns them into what they instinctively fear most.
What is most aversive to Sir Griamore was himself when he was weak child.
Considering how much he trained his body, it's quite obvious.
Is there a way to dispel that magic?
There is.
Wh-What must be done?
So how do you dispel it?
Well, you see...
Poor demon man...
Don't cry anymore, Griamore.
Do you know how worried I was about you?
It's a kiss from the one he loves.
G-Griamore...
Princess Veronica?
Wh-What am I...
Princess Veronica!
What's the matt—
Shot Bomb!
It's been ages since I had leftovers from Ban.
Everything's perfect!
The booze is gonna be top notch now too.
Right, bartender?
Y-Yes. I'll do my best.
Miss Merlin, are you not going to restore this building?
That's not my job.
She's right.
We're the ones who should fix it.
All right. We shouldn't get too carried away by this victory.
We need to make our next move.
What we know is that the many Holy Knights and city folk affected by a Commandment fled to the south.
That means the next stronghold of the Ten Commandments is
the capital of Camelot.
King Arthur...
He's not a person who'll die that easily.
Y-You're right.
Merlin, that's not all, is it?
Elaine is still with us.
That means Melascula the Faith still isn't dead.
And it's not just her.
Zeldris the Piety,
Gloxinia the Repose,
Drole the Patience,
as well as Estarossa the Love.
The threat is far from over.
If we make a wrong move, we'll easily be taken out.
We also lost many allies.
Our forces are not in a good state.
It's true that we lost a lot of our strength,
however...
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
Fool!
Fool! I'm a fool!
I was infatuated by an impossible love,
so I was a burden to my allies,
and my brother had to protect me...
Brother, I...
What should I do?!
This is the same as my brother's magic ability...
I understand, Brother.
I'll strive for it once more.
I'll strive to surpass you as a Holy Knight.
...that also gives birth to new strength.
That is how the world works.
We can't be too optimistic, but we also shouldn't lose hope.
All right then.
We have Escanor back with us, after all.
You are released by the orders of His Majesty King Baltra and Merlin of the Seven Deadly Sins.
I'm Gowther the Goat's Sin of Lust of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Be aware that the allegations of you being one of the Demon Clan's Ten Commandments have not been lifted.
Go ahead.
I'm Gowther the Selflessness of the Ten Commandments.
I'm glad you're all enjoying it here.
Thank you, King.
This time we have to gather all seven members of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Meliodas,
whatever happens, whoever I have to make an enemy of,
I'll always be by your side.
Because you're always by mine.
If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain
furidashita ame no naka boku wa tabi e
The pouring rain begins just as I start off on my new journey
nureta fuku wo kawakashite mo mata nureta
No matter how many times I dry my clothes, they continue to get drenched
pokkari aita kokoro no kizu
This gaping wound in my heart
kakaru noizu wa
A haunting disquiet
ano koro no misu
From that day's oversight
mamoritai mono wa donna toki datte
The things I wish to protect are always
boku no moto kara hanarete iku
Getting further and further from me
zatta no naka shinjitsuzuketa
Amidst the chaos, I continue to believe
kuzurenu kizuna oshiete kureta
Our unbreakable bond has taught me
tooku saki tsunagu kono omoi wo seoou
That I should cherish these feelings that connect to the far future
jibun oikose
Surpass yourself!
daijina koto wo kimi ni osowattan da
You taught me what's important
taisetsu na mono no tame tsuyoku nareru yo
For the ones I hold dear, I can become strong
me tsumunnaide chanto kocchi muiteru ka
I hope you keep your eyes open and watch me
kore ga ore da yoku mitoke
This is who I am, so take a good look
Never Give up! Stand up! Hands up!
High!! High!!
nando datte akiramekaketa
I was on the verge of giving up so many times
nando datte te wo totte kureta
But you continued to take my hand
kimi ga ita kara
That's because you were there
soko ni kimi ga ita kara
You were always there for me
donna konnan mo koete yukeru
I can overcome any difficulty
kimi to nara sono saki e
If I'm with you, I can look to the future
