On their way to the exit,
Meliodas told the story of his younger brother, Zeldris.
Zeldris became a merciless executioner for the sake of the woman he loved, a vampire named Gelda.
Gelda, I'll be back for you.{ep03 @ 11:36}
Meanwhile, a fierce battle ensued between Escanor and Zeldris at Camelot.
Eventually, Escanor's fingertip impaled Zeldris.
Oh?
He got us.
Darkness.
Darkness
{-intro-unchanged-}This is a tale of ancient times, from when the worlds of humans and non-humans were not separated.
The Holy War is reignited.
Not even the gods can foresee the outcome of this struggle, which will decide the fate of Britannia.
But one thing is for certain—they will not give up!
They will fight to bring down the powers of evil and protect the future of those they love.
They are the chosen heroes known as
the Seven Deadly Sins.
eien ni kasanaru bokura wa kamisama no itazura
Our eternally repeating story is by the arbitrary will of the gods
ima anata to sugoshita jikan ga boku no tsumi ni naru
The time I spent with you is just another one of my sins
samayou kono rinne no naka de kazoeta no wa
All that mattered during those countless lives
hohoemi ka itami dake kono yoru no naka de
Were our smiles and tears we shared
In those dark nights
sakebe mou nidoto anata no ashita dake wa wasurenaide
Shout!
Never again forget that you have a future
kasuka ni hikari are yoru no yami no naka wo terasu hikari are
Let there be a dim light
That will illuminate the darkness once and for all
ima wa kono yubi wo hanasanaide
Don't let go of my hand
sakebe ima dake wa kono tsumi wo mune ni daku
Shout!
We embrace this sin as something dear
bokura wa mada bokura wa mada
As we're still, as we're still
yoake ni sasu hikari ni kogareru
Yearning for the light of dawn
hikaru wo matsu hikari wo matsu
We await the light, we await the light
anata no hitomi ni sasu sono hi wo
The light that will shine brightly in your eyes
Episode 4
The Victims of the Holy War
Meet your maker.
Lord Zeldris, you can leave the rest to us.
All right. Do not let them interfere with Meliodas!
Show them what you're really capable of.
Show them the power of the highest-ranked demons, that surpasses even mine.
As you command!
However, please do not forget that you shall soon become something that far surpasses us.
What do you mean?
Are you done saying your goodbyes?
Silence!
It's no good. His wounds are far too deep for my power.
Lord Ludociel, please save Gil!
I'm sorry, but I have a more pressing matter at hand.
I guess I'm to take on the girl and sweep up the trash that's lying around?
With Zeldris incapacitated, the two of you are no match for me.
You will fall like autumn leaves when faced with my Grace of Flash.
You're not half bad.
I was the one who taught Lord Zeldris the ways of the sword.
But don't get too cheeky.
You're unscathed?!
Is that the best you can do in that borrowed body, Ludociel?
Shall we also get started, Belialuin girl?
I hope we can have some fun this time around.
Exterminate Ray.
Exterminate Ray
Exterminate Ray.
The same spell as Merlin?
And actually larger?!
Is his magic power that much greater than Lady Merlin's?
Escanor!
Look for an opening to dash towards your Sacred Treasure!
Uh... What?
There's no way! I can't do it!
Come on, what's wrong?
Enchant: Infinity.
It hit him head on!
Not even the highest-ranked demons can stand before Miss Merlin's Infinity!
Looks like this would be a good time to get Rhitta.
Merlin! It's as if my strikes are not landing at all!
Is that the nature of their magic?
No. In fact, it seems like for some reason their full magic power is sealed away.
And still, there's a simple reason they're considered the strongest of their Clan apart from the Demon King.
Not only are they incredibly strong, but they're very sturdy and quick on their feet.
Does that mean they have no weaknesses?!
To put it bluntly, yes.
But if they have no weaknesses, we'll just have to create one for them.
Merlin, bluffs won't work on these two.
Where did that come from?!
She didn't do anything that looked like an attack!
Impossible.
How did such a weak attack reach us?!
Double Impact.
Do you remember the spell that disappointed you at the start of our encounter?
So that wasn't a mere damage spell!
In the first wave, I unleashed a combination of the four base elements and their various combinations.{timing: ends on "hanachi"}
By doing that, I was able to test what element you were most vulnerable to.{timing: ends on "waridashita"}
For Chandler, that's lightning.
For Cusack, it's wind.
Shortly after, your respective vulnerabilities are further weakened in the second wave. {timing: ends on "jakitaika mahou"}
In addition to that, each time you are struck by my Infinity,
your vulnerability to that type of magic will keep increasing.
A spell decadently layered with goodness.{Solar: I don't get this line. Lann save it} {commenting on Merlin's stuff, basically that's it's many kinds of good things stacked}
I'd definitely hate to have her as an enemy.
But now that you've revealed your trick...
Pacifier, don't!
Absolute Can—
That again!
Where are those attacks coming from?
You—
This space is now filled with countless particles of lighting and wind magic
that autonomously attack when you attempt to chant a spell or move threateningly.{Damn automation stealing our jobs. Knights are doomed.}
They are continuously generated from my infinite magic power.
What kind of preposterous spell is this?!
I'm not sure myself.
I just improvised by adding invisibility, undetectability, automatic tracking,
and Infinity to two types of attack magic.
Now that's just unfair.
But when did you manage to do all that?
While I was teleporting away from Ominous Nebula.
Lord Ludociel, please work your healing miracle on Gilthunder!
He shielded you with his body!
It was not me he was trying to protect.
More importantly, I must be mindful of how I use my magic power right now.
What a disgrace.
To think we, the highest-ranked demons, would suffer such a beating at the hands of a human!
This cannot be allowed.
What do you find so funny?
Resonant!
Miss Merlin?
Oh? Is that your true form?
You look pretty cute.
You are about to follow the same fate as that Arthur boy.
Face your regrets in hell for going against the highest-ranked demons.
Your are now completely mine to command.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
How?!
I already expected that you'd attempt to possess me.
Did you think you could take control of me, whose mind has been fortified by the blessing of the Supreme Deity?
It seems you still do not fully grasp the situation.
You fool.
Now, let's thoroughly avenge Arthur, so he can rest in peace.{it just dawned on me what bullshit will revive Arthur: they'll lead him back from Purgatory}
What's taking you so long? Hurry up and dispel her—
Huh?!
Oh no! We're going to—
Don't get too full of yourselves!
I need only use the power of the Demon King and your magic will be of no—
Victory is ours!
It's the end of the drawn-out Holy War!
We finally came out on top!
Are you watching Mael?
Your elder brother has finally accomplished it!
Why can I only remember the face of Estarossa, the one who killed Mael?
What's wrong Cap'n?!
What's happening? Something's wrong.
My memories about Estarossa...
Why can't I remember?
So you've realized as well?
Just like me, you can't remember anything about him.
That voice!
It's him! I'm certain of it!
But still, that reaction is rather unmanly.
As I suspected, my son is better off without his emotions.
Is that the Demon King?
Can he be any bigger?
He has been greedily devouring the creatures of this world, and thus growing ever more enormous.
My old man.
I heard you. You said you cannot recall your past with Estarossa.
It is the same for me.
I have clear recollections of my time in the Demon Realm,
yet I cannot recall anything about Estarossa.
Tell me. What do you remember about him?
Despite being the son of the Demon King, he was born without the power of darkness.{s3 ep22 @ 19:36 almost exact words, only last time they were directed at Estarossa, so it's very slightly different. The similar wording is probably a sign of Gowther's brainwashing, so I think it's good to keep it also similar in the translation}
He was a timid boy who would hesitate before the prospect of squashing a bug.{s3 ep22 @ 19:42 see above}
And I took pity on him, so I gave him a Commandment.{again, very similar wording to s3 ep22 @ 20:09}
I suspected as much.
What's going on?!
Everyone who knows Estarossa, including myself, is the victim of a grand deception.
That man really took us all for a ride.
What? You think it was him?!
Estarossa...
No, that man is actually...
I have something important to tell you, Gowther.
In order to end the Holy War,
I am going to pour all my magic power and life force into casting a forbidden spell.
What is that spell?
I am going to change the memories of a single man,
as well as everyone else's image of him, including the gods.
Is that really going to end the war?
Yes. That is how great that man's importance is.
If the spell works correctly, the Goddess Clan will be forced to use the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.
And they don't have quite enough magic power to do that.
I'd like you to lend them your strength, Gowther.
Sure.
Forgive me for making you take on such a heavy burden despite you still being so young.
Why is Estarossa...
The altered memories will likely never revert back.
Miss Merlin!
However, there is a small possibility that they will.
Those under the spell will share the same image of the man.
I'm going to kill you with my own two hands, Estarossa...
Why?!
That's not possible!
I can't remember what Mael looked like!
Something's wrong with all of them!
If some unexpected accident begins to unravel that memory in one of them...
Cap'n?
Are you all right, Miss Merlin?
Escanor, now's your chance to get your Sacred Relic!
Yes! All right!
...that will gradually undermine the alteration in all of them,
eventually leading to its sudden collapse.
Estarossa?! Who the hell are you?!
There's no such person among the Ten Commandments!
Give us back Elizabeth!
Noticing a discrepancy will lead to doubts.
Elizabeth is mine!
It's all his fault! It's all Meliodas' fault!
And doubts will lead to a new certainty.
My... brother...
Estarossa, you're mistaken.
Meliodas would never tell a lie that would hurt his brother.
He was always worried about Zeldris.
Huh?!
I want to find some way to help Zeldris and Gelda.
That would be nice. You're so kind to your little brother.
Well, he's the one brother I have.
Wait, what does that mean?
What about Estarossa?
Did you get into a fight with your brother again?{s3 ep24 @ 00:21}
No.{s3 ep24 @ 00:25}
Everyone says I'm a coward who can't even kill a bug.{s3 ep24 @ 00:28}
Is that what you're so down about?{s3 ep24 @ 00:33}
I do understand that I'm a disgrace for my brother.{s3 ep24 @ 00:36}
Where'd that dog come from?{s3 ep24 @ 00:48}
Hey, cut it out.{s3 ep24 @ 00:49}
He was hurt and couldn't move around.{s3 ep24 @ 00:51}
Does it have a name?
Estarossa. Meliodas came up with it.
Sounds nice, doesn't it?
Wait, so Estarossa was the name of that puppy?
What's with that weird look? You don't like the name?
No, it's not that.
And who are you?
It can't be!
Those wings...
I think it's a great name.
Are you actually...
After all this time, the memories of everyone who knew him are reverting to what they were.
The memories of being of the Demon Clan to those being of the Goddess Clan.
The recollections of his brother Meliodas to those of his bother Ludociel.
What's happening?!
If it becomes necessary, I'll stop this.
G-Gowther?!
Even if it costs me my life.
That's the other sin and responsibility that I took on along with the original Gowther.
Estarossa of the Ten Commandments has never existed.
The true identity of the man everyone thought was him...
Impossible!
This can't be!
...is Mael of the Four Archangels.
