‎Meliodas enters the spirit world.
‎Together with the help of Gelda, he rescues the imprisoned Zeldris.
‎Meanwhile, in the real world,
‎a fierce battle unfolds between the Seven Deadly Sins and the Demon King.
‎Thanks to Diane's Mother Creation,
‎the Demon King is finally separated from his supply of magical power.
‎The magical lake is now dry.
What's more...
The results are in and I have some bad news for you.
What?
It's noon.
THE ONE
I see.
‎Even though it only lasts one minute,
that power allowed you to defeat Meliodas and Zeldris.
‎How interesting.
‎I would like to see for myself just how strong your powers are.
Tin God Demon King.
Tin God...Demon King...
Escanor, we'll help you!
Don't interfere.
‎I've waited for this moment for a long time.
‎Escanor...
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 18: THE KING SINGS ALONE
Elizabeth, just stay behind me!
‎Get a taste of this, human.
‎This is the Demon King's true power.
‎It's on a completely different dimension from my worthless son.
‎Is that all you got? Pain?
‎I don't feel any emotion in your attack.
‎What kind of stupid remark is that?
‎Shut the hell up!
‎I can't believe he can withstand Escanor's attacks at noon!
‎That may be so, but the Demon King is definitely racking up damage.
‎The problem is it's taking too long.
‎Allow me to give you praise.
‎I did not expect to find a human who could fight with me on equal terms.
‎But, it looks like you have no chance of winning.
Your time's up.
‎I can finally fulfill my vow to you, old friend.
What happened to Escanor?!
‎How...
‎It's past one minute already, but The One is still active!
Escanor...
Don't tell me...
‎I will now announce the charges.
‎Repeatedly causing fear to the populace of outlying villages.
‎Using excessive violence against Zaratras
‎and the other Holy Knights who went to maintain order.
‎Are you okay, brother?
‎Is that really...
‎the same man that we saw this afternoon?
‎In addition, the criminal is accused ‎of haughty demeanor when brought before His Majesty.
‎As such, we will now judge your actions and pass sentence.
‎This man is...
‎Escanor, the criminal whose hubris knows no bounds.
‎You are hereby sentenced to 1000 lashes and crucifixion!
‎No, please wait a minute!
‎All I did was exterminate a monster that was attacking my village.
‎Then everyone became afraid of me.
‎It's true!
‎I didn't attack the Holy Knights or say anything violent to the King.
‎It was me...but not me...
If you have an objection, speak it clearly!
‎No, I have no objection.
‎Just please...listen to me...
‎I will accept responsibility for him.
Y-You're...
‎Is this little boy the seventh?
‎Little boy?
‎As far as humans go, I think he's middle-aged.
‎He seems pretty different from the stories we've heard.
‎You gotta be kidding me.
Do I look like someone who jokes around?
‎Yeah, this is a pretty funny joke.
‎W-Who...
‎Who are these people? What am I doing here?
‎Starting today, you 're a member of the Seven Deadly Sins. You're one of us now.
‎O-One of you?
Hey, what kinds of things can you do?
‎I'm a Giant and I can manipulate earth.
‎Uhh...well...
‎Don't be peeking at her cleavage.
‎King is a Fairy.
‎He has mysterious powers and he can fly too!
‎Ban is uhm...a petty thief!
‎I'll kill you Diane.
‎Gowther can read people's minds!
‎Fighting power: 15.
‎I'm surprised. You're about as strong as a child.
‎T-Thanks, I guess...
‎Welcome, Escanor.
‎Merlin is Britannia's number one wizard.
M-Merlin.
‎She really resembles her...
‎T-This is the second time I've met you.
What?! Merlin, you know this little boy?
‎Several days ago, I heard an outrageous rumor about this man.
‎So I came to meet him with the Captain.
‎By the way, do you like big girls?
‎N-No, not particularly...
‎You pass in my book!
‎So? What's your special skill?
‎Knives? Bows and arrows? Espionage?
There's no way you're an assassin though, right?
‎-P-Po... -Huh?
Poems.
‎Escanor, please take care of yourself.
‎No, I don't wanna! I can't just run away by myself.
‎It's okay. I promise.
‎You will never be alone.
‎Rosa, I'm all alone.
The sun will rise soon.
‎I have to get out of here quickly.
"Farewell," I say. It is time to set out on my own.
‎The messy blonde haired boy and the beautiful girl with jet black hair.
‎It was a night filled with the warmth of human interaction. A night to be remembered.
‎I see.
‎That's what you meant when you mentioned your poems.
‎Merlin, w-what are you doing here?
‎Don't answer my question with another question.
‎What's your reason for leaving?
‎Because...
‎You saw, didn't you?
This afternoon...my cursed form...
‎One day...
‎I will definitely hurt all of you.
‎Hurt...us...?
‎I...
I shouldn't have been born.
I was supposed to die.
‎I knew you were an interesting one.
I-I'm being serious!
‎Well, whatever your curse is, ‎apparently it's extremely dangerous.
‎But, we're not so fragile that you can hurt us.
Hey, Escanor.
‎Won't you let me test your powers this once?
‎That's not funny.
‎He's completely changed...
‎You and Ban keep talking about all these jokes.
‎I'm telling you I'm a serious guy.
‎Let me warn you again.
‎Turn back now.
‎If you take one step closer,
‎I cannot guarantee you'll live.
Well, here's one step closer.
‎Captain.
‎Let's go drinking again—
You see?
‎I told you to stop.
‎What's going on?
‎What's all the ruckus?
‎Anyone! Please stop me!
Please...Please take my life!
Destroying a mountain just to calm yourself every time you get angry.
‎Seems inefficient.
‎That's why...
‎I've always lived apart from other people.
Every once in a while, someone would try to help me though.
‎It made me so happy.
‎But, once I used my power to help them,
‎everyone would become afraid of me.
‎I've always been alone because of this cursed power.
Why don't you come with us‎ and we can figure out
the purpose of your powers together?
‎So your face isn't the only thing that is identical.
‎The only ones to look at my cursed face
‎and offer me such kind words
‎are you and Rosa.
Even those sad eyes you have look just like hers.
‎Thank you.
‎I don't deserve your kindness.
‎I really went and did it...
‎I murdered two people.
‎Who did you kill?
‎Yo.
‎Ghosts?! H-How...
You guys...But...
Too bad for you, you're not the only monster around here.
‎There he is! Hey!
‎We're the same as you.
There isn't one of us here who doesn't have a complicated past.
‎How 'bout it? Do you feel a little more relaxed now?
We want you in the Seven Deadly Sins!
‎I know your power is gonna be a great help to us.
‎If you want it, I'll give it to you.
‎I can't control my power so I'll just end up hurting someone!
‎I never wanted this!
‎Do you know what I've been through? There's no way you could understand!
‎You were once a prince,
but now you are being hunted by Castellio because of the curse.
‎Rosa, the only person who understood you,
‎betrayed her country in order to let you get away.
‎H-How do you know that...
‎A few years later,
‎you returned to your country out of worry for Rosa.
‎However, the kingdom was no more.
‎Her whereabouts are still unknown.
‎Castellio?
‎You mean that small country that was decimated by some barbarians 20 years ago?
‎Yes, I'm sure it was all my fault.
‎I'm cursed after all.
‎I bet Rosa blames me too.
‎Escanor...
‎In that case...
‎You just need to find her and ask her yourself.
‎Wha...M-Merlin?
‎Do you know where Rosa is?!
‎I'm a wizard.
Based on the information Gowther extracted,
‎finding out where Rosa is right now is a piece of cake.
‎A-Actually, nevermind.
‎I have no idea what to say to her.
‎It's because of me that she's had so much trouble.
‎She will probably be happier if I were dead.
-Why you! -Don't do it, Ban!
‎Would you quit being so emo?
‎You wanna try dying right now?
‎There's no point in doing that.
Escanor.
‎I want to fight you at noon tomorrow.
If I win,
I'll have you join the Seven Deadly Sins.
If you win, you can leave and do whatever you want.
I'm surprised.
To think that his magical power would be this high at noon.
It's so easy for you to die.
‎I envy you.
‎If you wanna die that badly, I'll kill you.
‎It...hurts...
‎You suffering? You in pain?
‎That's because you're alive.
‎Rosa protected you so you could have those feelings.
Rosa...
‎You're life isn't something you own yourself.
‎Saying you wanna die and that your life has no value.
‎That's arrogant.
‎I...still...
‎I wanna live!
‎If you ever have trouble controlling yourself again,
‎I will always be your opponent.
This is arrogant of me since I lost...
‎There's one favor I have to ask of you.
‎I had no idea there was a place like this in Britannia.
‎Escanor, it's been a long time.
Th-That voice...
‎Is that you, Rosa?
‎Please turn this way so I can see your face.
‎But if you see me now...
‎You'll just be disappointed.
‎No, what am I saying?!
I didn't come here so I could say stuff like that.
‎Thank you, for saving me back then.
I will make the most of this life that you helped spare.
‎No matter how pathetic I look or how lonely I am...
I will live my life to make you proud.
I'm already proud of you.
‎And I told you before, you're never alone.
‎Yeah.
‎I can't believe it,
‎but you haven't changed one bit, Rosa.
‎Oh yeah, there's a girl who looks just like you!
‎Yes, I know.
I have been watching over you all this time.
There are a bunch of other people too.
‎He looks like a child, but he's actually really strong. He's our captain.
There's also a giant girl.
‎And there's a petty thief. He's a little scary.
‎A place where the memories of the deceased reside? The Capital of the Dead?
‎Are you for real?
‎If you want to go,
‎I can kill you halfway like I did for Escanor.
‎Nah, I'll pass.
Hey, Rosa.
I do solemnly swear,
‎that I will take this life that I tried to throw away,
and devote it to an important friend.
That magial power isn't Sunshine.
‎Escanor is converting all of his entire life energy into magical energy.
‎He plans on burning his entire life force away.
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"
‎My special skill is po...po...
‎-Po? -Pole dancing?
‎Poker, maybe?
‎Poison.
‎I got it! Potpourri making!
‎...is what happened.
Those guys are idiots.
‎The answer is "polishing off fries," right?
I'm pretty good at that too.
‎The answer is "poems"!
