‎The Seven Deadly Sins defeat the Demon King.
‎The Holy War has ended.
Liones erupts in celebration.
‎However, one of our heroes goes out in a blaze of glory
‎and leaves this world.
The Holy War is finally over.
Yeah, the Demon King has been defeated.
Now the people of Britannia
‎can live without the fear of attack from the Demon Clan.
‎One of the Gods is gone...
‎I wonder what the future holds in store for us.
Isn't it obvious? It will be an era of peace.
‎-Nice guess. -Hm?
‎Once the equilibrium between Light and Dark is disrupted,
it's said that the Age of Chaos will be upon us.
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 21: WHAT THE WITCH HAD ALWAYS WANTED
It's been a while, Gil.
‎Vivian! Why are you here?
‎You still haven't given up on Gil?!
I thought you were killed by Ludociel...
‎That's right. I was.
‎That angel's sword pierced me at the Heaven's Theater.
‎But a phoenix revived me!
It was the power of love!
‎That sounds like a load of garbage.
While my consciousness slowly faded,
‎he held my body in his big strong arms
‎and desperately called out to me—
"Don't die, Vivian!"
‎"Britannia will miss you greatly if a girl like you dies."
‎"No, I will miss you."
‎Dreyfus said that?
‎I told him he was over doing it.
He made Hendrickson keep using healing magic on her.
You know what else?
After that, Father took care of her right here.
What?!
‎This woman has been a lot of trouble.
‎There's no way they would let her recuperate in the castle.
‎But it would be mean to just throw her out on the street.
What's more, because of the divine magical powers of that angel,
‎that annoying curse placed on me was broken.
I'm so lucky!
‎What dumb luck.
‎That's why...
‎I don't care about you anymore, Gil.
I've found my one true love.
‎It's great to be in love, but women really are meant to be loved by someone else!
‎I-I don't really get what's going on, but looks like you're off the hook, Gil.
‎Hey, Gil?
‎Don't tell me while she was stalking you, ‎that you started to...
No.
‎You can call me Mommy from now on!
Gorillamore.
‎It's Griamore!
‎Vivian.
‎What did you mean before?
‎About the Age of Chaos?
‎Oh that? I don't really know.
It's something that Merlin used to say a lot.
Once the equilibrium between Light and Darkness is disrupted,
‎the Age of Gods will come to an end and chaos will ensue.
‎The world will be reborn anew.
‎Hey, Merlin.
Forgive me if I'm meddling,
‎but I can help remove your burns.
Are they that bad?
‎No, that's not it.
‎I think they look beautiful.
‎If you're okay with them, then I will support your decision.
Me too, me too!
I think they look cool.
Yeah.
Your burns are worth more than gold.
As long as you have those burns,
Escanor will live on within you, Merlin.
‎Damn, my scar's got nothing on yours.
‎Well, everyone has a different sense of values.
‎I'm sad about Escanor,
‎but all of us still have a chance at finding happiness.
‎The Captain used up all of his Demon King powers.
‎So it looks like he won't have to return to the Demon Realm.
‎Elizabeth's curse has been broken.
‎Ban revived Elaine and now they can be together.
‎Gowther regained his heart and his memories of Nadja.
‎Yeah.
‎A-And...King became the true Fairy King...
‎Th-Then he proposed to me...
‎- It was sorta rushed, but a good proposal. - You're the one who cheered me on!
‎And Merlin...
Huh?
‎Merlin, what exactly was your stake in this?
‎You never really talk about yourself.
‎Since before the Seven Deadly Sins was even formed,
‎you've been helping Meliodas and Elizabeth, right?
‎Among us, those two have known each other the longest.
So without any reward or compensation for 3,000 years,
‎you just helped out of the goodness of your heart?
‎- Don't get it. - Ban!
Merlin, don't you have something you want too?
‎Like a ridiculous magical experiment?
Or a super rare ingredient?
‎No matter what it is, we will all pitch in and help you!
Is that so?
I suppose you all do have a right to at least know.
An obligation to see things through.
We are all brothers in arms.
‎Look at that everyone!
‎It's the Boar's Hat!
‎And the magical lake!
Well then, let's get started.
‎What are you going to do?
‎I will awaken Arthur.
Awaken him?
‎Eti ohniem roota.
‎Oy emazem edocok.
Arthur.
‎She's going to wake up Arthur?
‎Does that mean bring him back to life?
‎I don't get it. What's going on?
‎You piggy punks!
‎Took you long enough to come get me!
‎-Hawk! -Hawk??
‎I was so helpless I hid behind a rock.
‎I was like a newborn fawn shaking like jelly.
You should apologize to all fawns.
Were you alone this whole time?
‎I didn't even realize you were missing. Sorry!
Rude!
‎I came here with my mom ‎in order to defeat the Demon King.
But before I could even get there, you guys already beat him!
‎So I gave up and was about to go home.
‎But then my mom saw that strange water ‎and now she won't budge an inch!
‎Hawk, would you get off?
‎No, don't leave me!
I have arranged everything as you commanded, O Heavenly One.
‎Are you ready, Princess?
‎Princess?
‎I wonder who Merlin is talking to...
No idea.
‎At long last, it is time to welcome him.
‎Your and my master...
W-Who's there?!
‎Huh? The lake started lighting up.
‎I misjudged you, Arthur.
This sword wasn't meant to bring your downfall.
‎It was they key to guiding you to the next stage of evolution.
‎Now the key will use the magical lake and open the door!
‎W-What was that?
‎Hey.
‎No way! He's alive!
‎Amazing! Arthur came back to life!
‎W-What have I been doing until now?
‎Among all species of life,
‎humans possess the most extreme traits: good vs. evil and light vs. darkness.
‎What paradoxical creatures.
‎That contradiction is Chaos itself.
‎That's why the human chosen by the Priestess of Chaos
is the best candidate to rule over Chaos.
‎There's something wrong with Arthur.
‎Merlin, what did you do to Arthur?!
‎I told you. My goal is to awaken Arthur.
‎As the King of Chaos.
‎What's happening to my body?
‎Don't be afraid. Just accept it, Arthur.
It is time to awaken the immeasurable power that has slumbered within you.
‎Merlin, what are you saying?
‎I'm in pain. Help me...
‎M-Mom! What the heck is going on?
‎With the King's awakening, the seal on Chaos will be broken.
‎And Chaos shall once again return to the King.
‎Arthur, just hold on!
‎You're...!
Meliodas! A Demon!
‎I will never let you do as you please to Britannia!
W-W-What the heck is this?!
‎Where are we?
‎Look down! Look down!
‎Are you all okay?!
‎We have a problem. I don't see the Captain or Ban.
‎Gowther, where are you standing?
‎I dunno.
‎What kind of illusion is this?!
‎This isn't an illusion. It's reality.
‎Merlin, is this your doing?
Watch yourself.
‎They're out to kill you.
‎Meliodas.
‎Meeting you must be the work of destiny.
"Don't worry about what your opponent thinks of you.“
‎“Change the way you think about your opponent."
‎This voice... Is that you, Arthur?!
‎Meliodas.
‎You were everything I looked up to.
And yet...
‎Why?
Why?
‎Listen to me, Arthur.
Meliodas never betrayed you.
This is the truth.
Calm your heart.
Don't give into your own power.
You're absolutely fine.
‎Merlin.
W-We're back!
Meliodas, are you okay?
Yep, no problem!
So, what did we witness just now...?
That was probably Arthur's powers.
You made a big fool of yourself, Arthur Pendragon.
‎I'm not sure how I can apologize for this blunder.
Sorry everyone.
‎To be honest, I'm still a little confused.
‎You're fine. No need to apologize.
‎I'm the one who should apologize.
N-No, you did nothing wrong, Meliodas.
I'm just glad to be able to see you again.
Yeah, me too.
‎More importantly, there's something I need to figure out.
Merlin, what did you do to Arthur?
What exactly is "Chaos"?
‎Chaos—
‎The Darkness that the Demon Clan fears.
‎The Light that the Goddess Clan reveres.
‎An existence that is both pure and impure.
‎Its power is so immense
that this world and all of its inhabitants
‎were brought into existence by a mere thought.
‎That includes the Demon King and the Supreme Deity.
‎For that reason, the wizards used to refer to her as the Mother of Chaos.
‎Arthur.
You are destined to rule over Chaos and lead Britannia into the new world.
What? Me? I am not following at all.
You brought him back for some power that serves no clear purpose?
‎What are you planning?
‎Is this really what you wish for?
‎Is it?
‎If you would permit me, perhaps I can explain?
‎The wishes of one lonely witch
and her endless search for Chaos.
‎Who are you? Show yourself.
‎That is the one thing I cannot do.
‎My body cannot leave this lake.
‎I call BS.
‎I am born from Chaos.
‎In ancient times, people called me the Princess of the Lake.
I was also called the Priestess of Chaos.
‎Princess of the Lake? Where have I...?
‎That's right! She gave the first king of Carfen the holy sword.
Sorry, but I've been alive for over 3,000 years now
and I've never heard of "Chaos" before.
‎Merlin has never spoke of it either.
I would think not.
‎For 3,000 years she kept it a secret from you
‎and from everyone else she met.
‎Merlin kept it a secret?!
‎Who exactly...?
Explain yourself.
‎Let me tell you an ancient tale.
‎Long ago, Britannia's capital city was called Belialuin.
‎This is where all the exceptional human wizards lived.
That city was known for its advancement of magical research.
‎In order to stand up against the high-ranking Demons and Goddesses,
they experimented on gifted children to test their viability as weapons.
One girl's powers were exceptionally strong.
Merlin had a unique power even among the other children.
At birth, she already far surpassed the city's wizards.
‎She was a true genius in both skill and wit.
However, on the inside,
‎she was merely a child who yearned for the love of a parent.
‎Unfortunately, the only thing her father, the Grand Wizard, gave her was
‎a mountain of texts and endless days of experiments.
‎One day she couldn't take anymore and ran away from home.
‎It was a young boy who saved her.
‎His name was Meliodas of the Demon Clan.
Her heart was filled with the gesture of kindness as he offered his hand.
‎She felt the love that she never received from anyone before.
‎Every time she met Meliodas her feelings grew stronger.
It gradually changed into something special.
However, no matter how much time passed, being the young girl she was,
‎Meliodas would never see her as a woman.
‎Merlin contemplated and made up her mind.
‎She threw away her childish form and matured into a woman.
‎In order to retain that physical form,
‎she stopped the flow of time on herself.
‎This was all to ensure Meliodas' heart would be hers forever.
‎However, those feelings
‎were crushed in an instant.
‎By Elizabeth of the Goddess Clan.
‎Surprise. Sadness. Anger. Jealousy.
Young Merlin was drowning in a dizzying whirlpool of emotions.
‎But no matter how she felt,
she couldn't bring herself to hate those two.
Merlin returned to Belialiun of her own free will.
‎In order to fill the void in her heart, she devoured every morsel of knowledge available.
Even so, she was unable to rid herself of that hunger in her heart.
Then one day amidst her suffering,
‎-Chaos? -Yes.
In primordial times,
a power was born among the stars and it was controlled by ‎Chaos.
‎According to the wizards' idle gossip,
Chaos first made this world
‎and then formed the Supreme Deity, the Demon King, and lastly the Sacred Tree.
‎Eventually, the Supreme Deity created the Goddess Clan and the Celestial Realm.
‎The Demon King created the Demon Clan and the Demon Realm.
‎And the Sacred Tree created the Fairy Clan and the Fairy Realm.
‎There was a fourth race, the Giant Clan.
‎However, they were drunk with power and sought only to harm each other.
‎They became a savage race and created humans.
‎Kindness and cruelty. Bravery and cowardice.
‎Love and hate. Beauty and ugliness.
Humans embodied every virtue. They were the closest thing to Chaos.
‎Imperfect and yet perfect in their own way.
‎The two Gods grew jealous and uneasy at the existence of such perfection.
‎They were afraid that the love and respect given to the clans they created
would be stolen by the Mother of Chaos.
‎The Supreme Deity and the Demon King conspired to seal away Chaos.
‎Merlin heard this story 3,000 years ago.
‎She made it her goal in life
‎to resurrect Chaos.
Merlin believed if she could resurrect Chaos, ‎a being that created limitless unknown,
‎she would then be able to fill her heart's yearning.
‎Merlin...
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"
‎So you survived.
‎Yep. I found my true love and I was reborn as a beautiful rose!
‎What will you do if both of them proclaim their love at the same time?
Fat chance though...
‎I already pledged my love to Dreyfus.
‎But then Gil abandons Margaret and returns to me?!
‎W-Will you let me think about this until next episode?
‎No. This is your last episode.
