In order to put an end to the Holy War 3,000 years ago,
Gowther the Wizard used a forbidden spell.
The effects of said spell altered a certain man's memories,
as well as everyone else's image of him.
However, after 3,000 years,
the fabrication of that spell has finally lost its power and is now collapsing in everyone's minds.
And the man who was at the focus of that spell was...
Why does a demon like Estarossa have wings as if from the Goddess Clan?!
There never was an Estarossa of the Demon Clan.
Gowther?!
That is his original form.
I... am...
Mael of the Four Archangels.
{-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.

Episode 5
One Sad Strike
I can't believe this!
Are you really Mael?!
Did I just awaken from a nightmare?
Oh my, you look so much like Ludociel.
Changing your hairstyle won't change your cowardice.
You haven't even tidied up your hair properly.
Don't be mean.
I'm not.
I think you look great.
Performance befitting a brother of mine.
Will I be like you one day?
I'm certain that you'll even surpass me.
My brother explained to me that killing demons isn't wrong.
In fact, it's a righteous act of liberating souls trapped in tainted bodies.
Following that guidance, I slaughtered countless demons to no end.
Eventually, I became the strongest of the Four Archangels.
I was feared by the Demon Clan so much that they called me the Angel of Death.
My brother was proud of me, and that made me happy.
But as for Elizabeth...
She didn't notice me at all and chose Meliodas of the tainted Demon Clan.
After seeing that, I was completely devastated.
What was that?!
I am... Estarossa...
What am I saying?
I...
Look at you now!{apparently addressing the defeated Mael...}
I have finally defeated Mael, the strongest of the Four Archangels!
I dedicate this victory to my exalted father, the Demon King!
What is this hair?
Annoying.
There. Now it's like my big brother, Meliodas.
Well done, Estarossa.
Until now, I considered you the failure among my sons.
But now, you deserve this as a reward.
Father, is that the Commandment of Love that my brother left behind?
This is the best!
This new power of mine is awesome!
This is a nightmare. It can't be reality.
I-It's no nightmare.
I can still feel it in my hands!
The feeling of murdering thousands of my people!
The feeling of burning innocents to death!
Who was it?!
Who did this to me?!
It was me.
I bear all of the responsibility.
So break me.
Gowther of the Demon Clan's Ten Commandments.
It was you?
Gowther!
Do you realize what you're saying?!
Yes, and it's all right.
You made me hate the brother I looked up to,
and instead made me look up to a filthy demon!
You made me lose my rightful Grace!
These crimes cannot be forgiven.
Gowther!
Gowther of the Ten Commandments,
before you pay for this with your life,
you must answer my questions.
Why did you do it?
Why did it have to be me?
The Holy War 3,000 years ago was sparked by the collapse
of the balance of power between the Demon Clan and the Goddess Clan.
And that was caused by Meliodas betraying the Demon Clan
and going over to the side of the Goddess Clan.
The solution was to have someone of comparable power switch sides in the other direction,
thus restoring the balance of power.
Only you could fulfill that role.
With the Goddess clan having lost you,
and the Demon Clan having gained Estarossa, the two sides were equal once more.
However, the Holy War had gained too much momentum that it wouldn't just end.
The Goddess Clan was forced to use the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.
With that, the war was brought to an end.
So ending the Holy War was the righteous thing to do despite causing me all this pain and humiliation.
In that case, you must at least feel the same pain and humiliation as—
What's with his body?!
I'm a puppet created by Gowther the Mage.
What the hell?!
How am I supposed to exact vengeance on a puppet that feels no pain?!
Is this another humiliation I must endure?!
Stop, King.
I don't want to get you involved in this.
Law 4 {four}of the Seven Laws of the Seven Deadly Sins:{s3 ep07 @ 21:53}
If a member is in trouble, we become one and waste no effort to help!{s3 ep07 @ 21:58}
Remember?
You're a comrade of Gowther? That's perfect.
If I can't cause physical pain, all I'm left with is causing emotional suffering.
I sincerely hope that you have some semblance of a soul.
No!
Increase!

King!
The Arrow of Salvation is a power that painlessly delivers demons from suffering.
However, it causes excruciating pain to any other target.
Poor thing.
Then break me!
King is innocent.
Ah, yes, that's the reaction I was hoping for.
Now I know I can have my revenge.

The more you resist, the deeper Gowther's suffering will be.
Keep it up, fairy.
I am the Fairy King! Don't underestimate me!
What is he doing to Mael?!
Tarmiel, let's get over there!
Yes! We should fight by Mael's side!
No, we need to help the Seven Deadly Sins.
H-Have you gone mad?!
It was Gowther who turned Mael into Estarossa!
Not to mention, Mael is a precious ally!
That's true.
Even though he doesn't have his Grace of Sun,
now that he's awakened as one of the Four Archangels, he has regained control over the Commandments.
A feat that can only be completed by the strongest of us.
However, the power of darkness is the exact opposite to our own nature as the Goddess Clan.
Every time he uses it, it gradually corrupts his heart and mind.
What do we do then?!
Mael is one of us! I can't fight him!
Because he's one of us, we have to save him!
Ellie!
Elizabeth, wake up.
Derieri?
What do I do?
I can't believe Estarossa was actually Mael.
What can I do to save his soul?
I'm sorry, Derieri.
I'm talking about saving the one who killed someone you loved dearly.
No, it's okay. We should save him.
Just like you saved us in the past.
Stop it, King!
As long as I die, no one else needs to get hurt.
I don't want to lose someone I care for again!
Seriously?
If you know the pain of losing someone you care for, don't go looking to die!
Do you get it, Gowther?
I'm sorry.
This will actually be fun.
Bring forth your best, you two.
It's four actually.
Hello, Sariel and Tarmiel.
M-Mael, I'm happy to see you again.
But I can't say I'm truly happy to see the state you're currently in.
Why would you stand against me?
Why would you defend the sinner who took everything from me?
Isn't it the purpose of the Four Archangels to exterminate every single one of the tainted Demon Clan?
I-I understand how you feel,
but please calm down and think about this.
You can just catch up on the time you lost.
You understand me? You think I can just "catch up"?
How could you possibly know?! There's no way I can!
You're not in your right mind!
Expel the Commandments you've absorbed!
So long as you keep them, your Grace of Sun will never return to you!
I'm afraid that's not an option.
The Commandments are my only hope now that I don't have my Grace.
If you intend on taking my last remaining hope, then I'll have to give you
despair.
You want to save Mael?
It's true that he killed Monspeet.
But the thing is, he was living on borrowed time anyway.
To be honest, Monspeet and I died 3,000 years ago.
But you and Meliodas saved us.
We've been fighting and killing the Goddess Clan and many others, without questioning it.
We just thought that was how things were.
And even after you saved us, we still didn't stop.
We thought Meliodas a fool to run to you.
But I was the fool.
How did I not realize that earlier?
I don't know what Monspeet felt for me.{s3 ep23 @ 18:01, pronouns changed because Elizabeth was saying it originally}
But the important thing here is how I feel about him.{s3 ep23 @ 18:05, as above}
When you told me that, it got me thinking.
He was my other half. A precious partner that was always by my side.
I just wanted him to live.
I have to put an end to this meaningless fighting.
And stopping Mael is the first step towards that, right?
Derieri...
But I don't have the ability to extract the Commandments.
I have an idea.
You stand back and rest.
Nadja, what should I do?
I can't stand aside and watch my comrades get hurt.
But I also can't bring myself to hurt Mael.
Gowther!
Derieri?
Read my thoughts and transmit them to everyone but Mael!
Do it!
Broadcast
Take this!
No you don't!
You're one annoying mosquito.
First the Fairy King distracts Mael.
The moment he looks away, Sariel and Tarmiel restrain him from both sides with all they've got.
I really hate that I'm taking orders from one of the Ten Commandments...
...but I'll do whatever it takes to save Mael.
And then I hit Mael until he's on the verge of death.{Falcon Punch?}
Combo Star!
Combo Star
Gowther will use that opportunity to gain information on how to extract the commandment.
Come on!
Bear with us just a little longer, Mael. We're trying to help you!
Where is it?
Tarmiel... why...
Where is it?
Why is it always me?!
Come on, Gowther!
Help me.
Ozun meihen ka ishuma no jimeu.
I got it!
Thank you, my brethren.
Accept this mercy from the Angel of Death.
Ozun meihen ka ishuma no jimeu.
Derieri!
Ishimeyoma shigai eniwa kota.
You're going to absorb a fourth Commandment?!
Don't do it, Mael! If you absorb any more of them, you'll lose yourself!
Please, Mael! Stop!
Garakachi wa natore.
Wait, didn't I just fail to stop Mael and...
Oh, I get it.
I died.
Still, this place looks familiar.
It's just like the Demon Realm.
The rumor that Meliodas escaped from the Demon Realm along with the Goddess Clan prisoners was confirmed.
This can't be! How?
But he's the leader of the Ten Commandments.
What do we do?
Wait a minute!
Meliodas hasn't been the leader for millennia.
To hell with him!
Who cares if he's leader?! He's a traitor!
That's unforgivable!
We're going out to get him!
It's me.
So this is the Demon Realm from 3,000 years ago?
Say, Derieri, wouldn't it be nice for the two of us to do the same as him?
Huh? What the hell are you talking about?!
Oh, nothing. I was just kidding.
But not really...
Well, are you coming or not?!
Fine, I'm going by myself!
Don't get so worked up. I'm coming, I'm coming.
I can't leave you by yourself.
It all makes sense now.
You'd already told me how you felt back then.
I just wasn't paying attention.
Thank you, Monspeet.
And thank you, Elizabeth.
Dorukimoto hekatokobe nokutasen kieto.
Derieri, leave the rest to us and sleep.
We'll bring to an end what you sought to achieve.
We'll stop Mael and the war.
And Meliodas, I'll save you too!
{E:}So that's how you'll find me anytime anywhere
omoku tsumetai uzu ni nomikomarete mo
Even if we're engulfed in a heavy cold storm
{E:}What's it for?

{E:}No more cheap lies

I want to be with you

{E:}Clocking tick'n'tock
{E:}You flick the badness, slip away from my wings and memories

I know you yearn for our promise to finally be fulfilled
{E:}There ain't no way, I will always be there for you

The thread of karma that binds us for no good reason
{E:}Time will tell, rewind that sight
{E:}Time will tell if we are right
