Thanks to the Seven Deadly Sins' heroics, peace has returned to Liones Kingdom.
But behind the scenes, King Bartra has sensed an ominous omen.
Meanwhile, Ban and King have set off on a journey to the Fairy King's Forest.
Around that time, a shock runs through Meliodas!
And who are these beings Dreyfus calls his comrades?
Fraudrin. By any chance, is that a Human body?
That's right. Using this body has been quite easy.
Hey, how come only we escaped?
GLOXINIA OF REPOSE
I didn't have enough of the Apostle of the Goddesses' blood to break the seal.
My apologies.
Bottom line, there isn't much, is there?
DERIERI OF PURITY
By that, you mean the presence of the Goddess, Giant...
MONSPIET OF RETICENCE
...and Fairy races is barely enough to detect?
During the war 3,000 years ago, they lost most of their power.
Just like we did.
Essentially, it's the Humans who rule Britannia.
My goodness, the most short-lived, fragile, and hapless of the five races?
MELASCULA OF FAITH
Hey! You were the only one who escaped being sealed, right?
GALAND OF TRUTH
What were you doing all that time?
I had a lot going on.
I only regained self-awareness ten years ago.
GRAYROAD OF PACIFISM
Not only that, this pesky group called the Seven Deadly Sins got in my way.
DROLE OF PATIENCE
ZELDRIS OF PIETY
Meliodas, huh?
Bottom line, I'm tired.
ESTAROSSA OF BENEVOLENCE
I want to rest.
Yes, before we do anything else, our first priority should be to get some rest.
The effects of the Goddesses' seal has depleted our magical powers.
I'm pretty sure Edinburgh Hill is to the east. Let's go.
This is a tale of ancient times,
when the human and non-human worlds had not yet split.
The kingdom of Liones, under the rule of two evil grand masters,
has escaped crisis after a grueling battle.
But now,
an even more sinister and devastating demonic influence inches ever closer.
This is why they now rise up again.
They are great sinners, and a legendary order of knights.
They are called the Seven Deadly Sins.
EPISODE TWO: EXISTENCE & PROOF
Hey, King. You sure you're okay with this?
If you leave without saying anything, Diane will worry about you.
I remember what she said.
"If King goes away, I'll miss him so much I'll die!"
Huh? Is that true?
Just kidding!
Who are you to talk? You have Elaine. So what's with that?
Oh, right. That.
Y-Yo!
Oh. Janko, was it?
It's Jericho!
What are you doing here?
I-It seemed like you were going off somewhere,
and I was curious, so I kinda followed, that's all.
Kinda? You must've walked at least 20 miles.
You got a problem with that?
Huh? Why would you follow me?
Whatever the reason, you're to blame! So take responsibility and bring me along!
Ugh! What a pain.
Hey! Hold on!
Ban. What did you do?
I stripped her naked once, that's all.
What? That's going too far, don't you think?
Where'd all this fog come from?
Would you mind not grabbing my arm?
It can't be helped! I can't see ahead!
At this rate, we can't even take a step forward.
It's all right.
What is this place?
It's the Fairy King's Forest.
It's true.
I sense the same magical power
of the Great Tree of the Fairy King's Forest from that young tree.
It's really... It's really true that the Fairy King's Forest is still alive.
Whoa! This place is huge.
It's the Fairy King!
Wh-What are those?
It really is!
Let's go say hello.
That's... Cisca! Ende! Melik!
Wh-Why are you in this forest?
You traitor, Harlequin!
Because you deserted us 700 years ago,
Lady Elaine...
That day, the forest came so close to vanishing completely.
But thanks to the man Lady Elaine entrusted the Great Tree's seed to,
this forest was resurrected!
Not really.
All I did was plant the seed.
Welcome home! Fairy King Ban!
Ban's the Fairy King?
Traitor?
Come on, King.
Elaine. Just wait.
No matter what it takes, I'm gonna bring you back to life.
Fairy King!
Is there anything we can do to help?
Please, just name it!
In that case...
stop calling me "Fairy King."
You know he's your boss.
No way!
The one who abandoned the forest and Lady Elaine isn't fit to be king!
Then,
as someone who tried to kill my only friend
in order to bring one woman back to life...
am I fit to be king?
Big Sister! Ellie!
These guys just told me that they're setting off on a journey!
Yes, I know.
No way!
Princess Veronica, I know I should've told you first,
but I couldn't bring myself to.
When stories fail to add up, you need to run everything in reverse.
Something that wasn't my father injured Princess Elizabeth for some reason,
and then intentionally vanished?
If that's true, then I can see why it tried to kill me and the Roars of Dawn.
We'll have to find out the rest for ourselves, huh?
I want to avenge my father no matter what it takes!
I swear that I'll return to your side, Princess Veronica!
Okay, fine.
Gilthunder and Howzer!
I'm counting on you to babysit Griamore!
Understood.
I'll be going now, Margaret.
I'll be waiting.
Please be careful!
Ellie, are things worked out for you, too?
Sir Meliodas!
Hey there, Elizabeth!
Is it true you're about to go on a journey?
Yeah.
Right, then I'll start getting ready to go, too!
No need.
Sir Meliodas!
You said that when this incident was over, we'd set up shop together again.
You sure you didn't mishear that?
You're acting strange! Did something happen, Sir Meliodas?
Still think I'm acting strange?
I'm the same as ever.
Hey, you!
Elizabeth! Make a run for it!
B-But we're not done talking yet.
Hey, sorry, but I gotta go buy supplies.
I understand.
The captain's not acting like himself?
That's right.
Come to think of it, remember that huge tremor yesterday?
Yes. Everybody was so surprised.
Right after it happened, for a split second,
the captain seemed really flustered.
I wonder what could've happened?
You're really watching the captain closely, aren't you, Elizabeth?
But anyone can see that Meliodas is acting strange, right?
Are you in love with the captain, Elizabeth?
Well, you see, I really can't be certain.
Since I've never felt this way about anyone before.
Felt this way?
The way I get so happy just by seeing him.
How I find myself thinking of him when I'm alone.
And also, when I'm with Meliodas, all my worries vanish.
But hey, isn't that...
Love.
Then you should tell him how you feel right away,
and catch the captain for yourself!
Caught you!
No, you haven't!
It's all right. I'll just keep it tucked away inside my heart.
What are you talking about?
You have to tell him how you feel!
Diane, did something happen to you?
I... remembered everything.
After all this time, I finally remembered.
Even so, he left me behind again and went off somewhere.
Because I never told him how I felt!
Diane.
What am I gonna do?
If he ends up never coming back, what am I gonna do?
Even though...
Even though I love King so much!
I can't do it.
Right now, I don't have the courage to look at Elaine's face.
Get out of the forest!
King Ban might have forgiven you, but we never will!
You traitor!
Do you realize how many of our friends and animals died because of you?
Stop it, Oslo!
Thanks. But they're not to blame.
Like they said, I abandoned this forest and my sister
to save my best friend and comrades.
But I couldn't save any of my comrades.
And what's more, I ended up murdering my best friend as well.
Go back to the kingdom?
That's an idea.
But now that there's peace in the kingdom,
the Seven Deadly Sins aren't needed anymore.
I'm not the Fairy King or one of the Seven Deadly Sins now.
And if Diane's with me, she'll suffer for sure.
Somebody tell me!
Just what... what am I, anyway?
You're you, remember?
Still a crybaby after all this time, huh?
H-Helbram!
I-I thought you were dead.
Huh? W-Was that an illusion?
I'm not an illusion.
My so-called spirit resides inside this helmet.
The way it works, you can only see me through this helmet.
-See? -B-But... how?
Because I couldn't leave you, my best friend, alone.
You cry too easily,
you give up, you sulk, you laze about, and you're short!
But those last things are just insults, right?
Your sister asked me to do something.
"Could you stay by my brother's side a little longer?"
And she has a message for you.
"Please protect Ban," she said.
Seriously, that Elaine...
Why should I have to protect a savage like Ban?
Hey, who're you calling a savage?
Are you all right?
As soon as I'm done here, I'm leaving this forest.
I'm gonna search for a way to bring Elaine back to life.
I'm going with you!
This has nothing to do with you.
Oh yes, it does!
Because you're the man I owe my life to!
As if I care.
Why not consult Merlin about Elaine?
And I'm sure the captain would be--
I don't intend to return to the Seven Deadly Sins.
But why not?
Look who's talking!
If you have time to meddle, go back to the Boar Hat!
You have someone waiting for you to come home alive.
-What? -I told you.
"If King goes away again, I'll miss him so much I'll die!"
Don't think you can fool me with the same lie over and over!
It's the truth.
As I recall, it was the morning of the founding festival.
I'm off to get supplies.
Okay.
Wait, King!
I can't take it anymore.
If King goes away again, I'll...
miss him so much I'll die!
No way.
But Diane's... I mean... her memories...
Go home to her!
See, years ago, King said something to me.
That he'd always love me.
But I didn't say anything back to him.
Because I was sure he already knew.
So this time, I'm going to tell him to his face.
"I love you, King."
I'm so envious. Your feelings are mutual.
That's why you have to tell him how you feel, Elizabeth.
It's all right.
Sir Meliodas already has someone else.
Liz was her nickname, you see.
She was Meliodas' girlfriend.
Huh?
Hey!
You're not with Guila?
Gui... la? Who's that?
What's the matter, Zeal?
Who? I don't know. Who am I?
Gowther. Swallow this.
Ah...
Gulp!
That should do it.
Make sure you take one pill a day without fail.
I'll get the armor as soon as I can.
Roger that.
Yo, Gowther!
We're leaving either tomorrow or the day after,
so be ready to go by then.
Is that an order?
Well, no, not an order, but...
Then I refuse.
Sorry to make you wait.
No. Are you done with your errand?
Yes.
Now that's an unusual pairing.
Hey, these are tasty!
What are you eating, Hawk?
I'm not eating anything!
What's up?
I thought you'd come by soon, Captain.
Merlin, ten years ago, the day we were chased out of the kingdom...
I'd like what you stole from me back now.
I assume this has to do with that powerful tremor the other day?
That was a sign of the Demon race's seal being broken.
Meaning that Hendrickson is still alive, eh?
That's not really a problem.
The problem is, the ones who were revived are the absolute worst!
The Ten Commandments!
Sorry. I was stimulated in spite of myself.
Who would've guessed the Demon King's handpicked elite troops would...
Now, then, Captain, let's get to the issue at hand.
Guila!
Something happened! Zeal's acting strange!
Who might you be?
Come on! What are you talking about?
Something happened to your little brother!
My little brother?
This little boy is your brother, Zeal, isn't he?
No. This man is my only family.
Gowther. You didn't...
Get a hold of yourself!
It's because you keep gobbling up whatever you find on the ground!
What did he eat?
Whatever was in a bottle someone tossed outside.
The magic stabilizers I gave Gowther?
Captain, this doesn't bode well.
You manipulated their memories?
It was both a necessary action and process for me.
For me to build a relationship with Guila, her brother's existence wasn't necessary.
I wish to have a heart.
A heart that can comprehend emotions.
I attempted to learn about friendship from the captain and Ban,
but in the midst of their battle the other day,
I observed an even greater emotion with my own eyes.
That emotion is love.
I decided that I should study love, rather than friendship.
And for that, this woman suited my needs perfectly.
So you mean you faked saving Guila as she was about to turn into a Demon?
It's a fact that I saved her.
Demon's blood rampages due to feelings of inferiority towards others,
and rage at oneself for being weak.
After erasing such memories,
I replaced them with memories
of her being my betrothed, my apprentice, of having had a happy childhood,
and having become a Holy Knight on her own merits.
Although it took a while, the procedure was flawless.
No matter the reason,
there's no way it's ever okay to manipulate someone's memories!
Guila's previous memories were filled with pain.
Are you still going to tell me that she'd be happier with her real memories?
That's right. No matter how painful they may be,
the memories Guila made with Zeal over so many years
definitely can't be replaced!
Incomprehensible.
The love Guila and I share has no need for such an existence.
This is going nowhere!
Elizabeth! Bring the captain or Merlin here!
-But-- -Just hurry!
Right!
I won't let you get in my way.
That's enough, Gowther!
-What's this? -Did something happen?
If you keep this up,
there will be a huge commotion!
I admit that a commotion would be annoying.
Sacred Treasure, Double Bow Harlit!
Blackout!
What did you do?
What's this?
What did you do to everyone?
I've rendered unconscious all living things
with a Spirit Level less than 400 within a three-mile radius of me.
In the end, memories are just information.
Easy to both create and delete.
I wish to learn what is beyond that.
About emotions.
Me, too.
I don't know why,
but I'd forgotten my precious memories with King.
And I can never forgive myself for that.
But I got them back.
Probably because they were carved so deeply into my heart!
Erase precious memories... nobody can do that!
Incomprehensible.
