‎The Demon King used Zeldris as a vessel to come back to life.
‎Meanwhile, Ban and company
set out to engage Induras of Favor, who was summoned by the Demon King.
‎Elizabeth and Meliodas must rescue Zeldris.
‎They face the Demon King.
You vex me greatly.
‎How could the world not need a Demon King?
Do you mean to vanquish me, your father and your pathetic brother?
‎And then kill yourself as well?
‎No, it will be more than enough
‎if I disappear from this world.
I will rescue Zeldris.
‎You're gonna die right here, right now!
Over my dead body!
‎Freeze. Actually, I guess you can't move.
‎Bringing along this wench will be your undoing.
This is a tale of ancient times,
when the human and non-human worlds had not yet split.
‎The Holy War seemed to be over.
‎But the Demon King took over Zeldris' body
‎and was reborn anew.
‎Our formidable heroes fight to eradicate all evil at the source.
‎The final battle of the Seven Deadly Sins begins now!
Like the vast heavens, like the vast earth
Soaking up every single sadness
This proud Aria carries far
The world I lamented for its cruelty
Every fight only brings heartache
The rusted padlock
Only I can unlock it
And with it the memories, as is my duty
Like the vast heavens, like the vast earth
Soaking up every single sadness
And even the gulf between light and darkness
Let out your beauty, keep looking forward
Even thousands of eons cannot change
This Aria ringing in untainted hearts
Like the vast heavens, like the vast earth
This Aria carries far
EPISODE 16: THE FINAL WAR
‎If I make this woman my shield,
‎you can't do anything.
‎Now I will slowly...
‎What's so funny?
‎You're just sorely mistaken.
‎The reason I'm here
‎isn't to be a hindrance to Meliodas.
‎It's to defeat you.
Ark!
ARK
How foolish.
‎Do you honestly think you can defeat me with this pathetic skill?
Slam!
You'll regret it if you underestimate her.
‎Just like I did so long ago.
Burst!
‎Stupid little girl!
‎As the King of the Demon World,
‎surely you are aware of Elizabeth's nickname.
‎Bloodstained Ellie.
BUMBLEBEE
Bumblebee!
Exterminate Ray!
EXTERMINATE RAY
‎At that altitude, our attacks won't reach them.
Keep it up everyone!
‎If its offspring spreads all over Britannia,
we'll be in big trouble!
‎There's no avoiding it. I have to use Sunflower to burn them all...
‎You can't do that, King!
‎If you do that, you'll hurt all the humans and animals nearby!
‎But, there's no other way...
‎Just leave it to me.
‎Ban, use this!
‎At your current level, you should be able to bring out its full potential.
‎I knew you had it.
That's...
Holy Staff Courechouse.
It has the most unrestricted and irregular attacks even among the Sacred Treasures.
‎If Ban uses it now,
‎he should be able to wield tremendous range, speed, and power.
And what's more—
The ultimate ‎ability of Courechouse will max out all of those stats.
"Super Concentration"!
Sacred Treasure Release!
‎What the heck are those?!
‎Several thousand of them disappeared in an instant!
There's a limit to exceeding human ability.
‎D-Did he defeat them all?
‎It's been so long that I'm a little rusty.
‎I let one escape. It's headed towards Liones.
‎We have to do something. Even one of those will...
‎Ground Gladius!
GROUND GLADIUS
‎Blackout Arrow!
BLACKOUT ARROW
Shock Stinger!
SHOCK STINGER
Spear of Judgement!
SPEAR OF JUDGEMENT
‎Assault Hunt!
ASSAULT HUNT!
‎What is this monster?!
‎Leave this to us and evacuate!
‎But Great Holy Knight, sir!
That's an order!
‎Understood!
‎That isn't your average demon.
‎Yeah, we gotta use our full power to stop it.
‎Trinity Attack!
Hexagonal...
‎Graveyard!
TRINITY ATTACK HEXAGONAL GRAVEYARD
‎I-It's too powerful...
At this rate, we're done for!
If only the Seven Deadly Sins were here...
‎Don't talk like that, you two!
‎We can't rely on them forever...
‎Gil!
‎...Escanor?!
‎Looks like I made it in the nick of time.
‎Why are you here?
‎To help you of course!
‎But you lost the power of Sunshine!
There's no way you can defeat that monster!
‎I apologize for my arrogance.
‎Even so,
‎I just couldn't hide alone in fear.
‎Why did you protect us...?
‎It's okay.
‎I don't have much time left anyway.
‎But, all of you are still young.
‎You have bright futures ahead of you.
Protecting you is my duty as your elder.
Seven Deadly Sins, Lion's Sin of Pride. Escanor!
‎Hear me roar!
‎Take this, Divine Sword Escanor!
‎Iron Hammer of the Thunder Emperor!
Your opponent is right here!
‎Why is he...?
‎He is more injured than us, but still gets back up!
‎Have you ever taken a real hit from the Captain?
‎What do you mean...?
‎I have.
‎It hurt so bad I thought I died.
This all happened while I was in my proud daytime form, of course.
‎However, I will never forget that pain.
‎Compared to that, this is nothing...
This is like a mosquito bite.
‎I will be your shield.
‎Even if you have to crawl, please run away!
This is so unbecoming.
‎If everyone saw how pathetic I looked now,
‎I'm sure they'd all laugh at me.
‎That's not true. No one will laugh at me.
Those amazing people still cared for someone with no talent like me.
‎They accepted me as their equal even though I have no strength.
‎I was treated the same in my daytime and nighttime forms.
‎Everyone is so strong and kind.
‎I've fought shoulder to shoulder with them all.
‎That is my pride.
‎The proof that I fought together with everyone lies in my heart.
‎That's why at the very least,
I want my heart to fight alongside everyone one last time.
‎I am a member of the Seven Deadly Sins.
‎I am Escanor, the Lion's Sin of Pride.
Stop it...
‎Invigorate!
‎Escanor.
‎Your prayer reached me.
‎Mael, you really came.
I do not know if I will be able to meet your expectations.
‎However, if it's to save humanity from impending doom,
‎I will gladly give it my all.
Fighting the Demon King is a different story though.
‎That would be impossible for me.
You may not believe me because I'm one of the Four Archangels.
‎But, that is just how powerful the Demon King is.
‎You're wrong, Mael.
‎I wouldn't ask that of you.
‎I didn't call you so you could fight the Demon King.
‎Then why exactly...
Would you please return the power of Sunshine to me?
‎Escanor.
‎You should already understand by now.
‎Yes, of course.
‎Even if the power is returned to me,
‎it may not be enough to rival that of the Demon King's.
‎No, that's not it.
‎Your body cannot bear the burden of the Grace of Sunshine.
‎You're past your limit.
You can probably only fight one more time.
‎After that, you will most certainly die.
‎You're just throwing away your life in vain.
That does not bother me at all.
‎Escanor, you can't...
‎I'm not throwing away my life.
‎I'm using it for the sake of my precious friends.
‎If they lay down their lives for the sake of someone else,
‎I want to lay down my life for them and fight.
There is still some time left until noon.
You're right.
‎Because you care for your younger brother, ‎you cannot use your full power.
‎Meanwhile, I am slowly returning to my full strength
‎thanks to the powers of this lake.
‎There is only one conclusion.
‎I will be victorious.
‎When was it again?
‎There was something you were trying to say.
‎Not just once either, but multiple times.
‎Back then,
‎I was so focused on obeying Father's orders.
I didn't have time to listen to you.
‎Then one day you just stopped talking.
‎Zeldris, don't get swallowed up!
It's no use.
‎Zeldris' consciousness is deep within the sweet fantasy of his desires.
‎He will soon disappear.
You should disappear along with him!
I won't give up.
I'll keep reaching out to you until you answer me.
‎Zeldris!
‎I was dreaming...
‎A dream? What did you see?
‎It was a long time ago...
‎I kept trying to talk to my older brother.
‎But I would get scared and stop myself.
‎You were that afraid of Meliodas?
‎No, that's not it.
‎I was afraid of my father.
‎I wanted to talk to my older brother more.
‎Not about how to use a sword or how to kill an opponent.
‎But about hunting techniques and our favorite kinds of liquor...
‎Or tell him about my girlfriend...
‎I wanted to talk to him about all those everyday things.
How boring.
‎Hell Gate Blade!
HELL GATE BLADE
ENCHANT ARK
Enchant Ark!
Thousand Divine Slayer!
THOUSAND DIVINE SLAYER
‎Combined Technique: God Eater!
Fight, Zel!
COMBINED TECHNIQUE: GOD EATER
Don't be a yes-man to our father!
Boring?
‎Yes, it's all very mundane.
‎Who cares about that?
‎I'm sure you must be very tired.
‎Zel, can you hear my voice?
‎Answer me!
‎Zel...Zel! Fight!
‎Just take it easy and fall asleep.
Yeah, I think I will.
It's all over anyway.
Everything...
‎This is bad! At this rate...
‎No, Zel! You must resist!
Zel...
‎This is truly refreshing.
‎I give you my thanks, Zeldris.
‎Thanks to you my full strength has returned...
‎Actually, I've regained the former strength of my youth!
Zel!
‎Just give up already.
‎The little brother you tried to save has already lost consciousness.
‎Zeldris isn't gone.
‎I will definitely save him!
‎Help him?
‎And just how will you do that by yourself?
‎Will you ask for help? Perhaps from the Seven Deadly Sins.
‎Meliodas!
I don't need advice from you!
‎I cannot burden them with my sins any longer!
‎You intend on fighting me alone?
You overestimate your abilities.
‎I made a promise to Zel!
‎That I would reunite him with Gelda!
‎Meliodas, we shouldn't overexert ourselves! Let's regroup and try again!
That won't do!
I can't abandon him for a third time!
‎I know, but...
‎If I don't help him, who will?!
He absorbed all that magical power?
‎This is the true power of "The Ruler"?
‎Impressive attack.
‎It's only natural for the man chosen to be my vessel.
I guess I should test my powers as well.
‎Hm? What's this?
W-Why...
‎Meliodas, they came!
All for you!
‎My distance and time calculations were perfect, don't you think?
‎Why are you two acting like we're all strangers?
‎That's right. All of our destinies are intertwined.
Did you think we wouldn't notice?
‎Seven Deadly Sins, Law #7:
"Sometimes you have to all work together.‎“
If I said meeting eyes for the first time
Usually felt something like a high-five
That moment, the day when my eyes met yours
It felt like our hands were locked together
Time moves on everyone, leaving for another world
Some things will eventually come to an end
I know that, but for now, for just a little longer
Let me play innocent and stay with you a little longer
Even the saddest of endings you can make a wonderful time
So when I'm with you, maybe it's a harsh analogy
But I wouldn't mind if my heart stopped, I'm so happy
"Episode Preview Theater"
‎What the heck guys! How long do you plan on dragging out these fights?
‎I'll finish 'em all with a single strike!
Chorizo!
‎Pig feet!
Skirt steak!
‎Have no fear, the invincible Hawk is here!
