In Istar, the Druids' Holy Land,
Meliodas undergoes a trial to recover a power he once wielded.
After intense suffering, he overcomes the trial,
keeping his love for Liz in his heart.
Meanwhile, arriving in his hometown, Ravens,
Ban runs into a Werefox on the brink of death.
Scenes from his childhood flash through his mind.
What was it that happened in Ban's past?
Ouch. I could've sworn we were inside the Cave of Trials just a moment ago.
When did you all arrive in Istar?
If I'd been even one second late realizing it was you guys,
you would've been history, Little Gil!
Thanks, Hawk.
Hawk?
S-Sir Hawk!
Hendrickson...
no matter what your reasons were, I'll never forgive you!
And if you remember what you did to Helbram, then it's obvious why!
I eventually intend to accept the consequences.
Eventually?
Please allow me some time.
Until I've protected Liones and all Britannia
and rescued Dreyfus from the Ten Commandments' grasp.
Who cares about any of that!
There'll be time for small talk later!
All right, everyone, time for some rigorous training!
This is a tale of ancient times,
when the human and non-human worlds had not yet split.
The 3,000-year-old seal has been broken.
The Demon race's elite troops, the Ten Commandments, now awakened,
are about to bury Britannia in blood and fear.
Rising up to counter this threat is a group of great sinners,
a legendary order of knights.
They are called the Seven Deadly Sins.
EPISODE TEN: WHAT WE LACKED
Are you all right?
Now I can finally be reunited with my sons.
You have sons, old man?
Yes.
I have two cherished sons. Already waiting for me in the next world.
You have a son?
Yeah.
A little kid who's about your age.
Ban, how old are you?
I don't know, dumbass.
Dumbass?
You should have some of this, too! It tastes so damn good!
You have quite the foul mouth.
Didn't your parents teach you better?
Listen, Ban. This hideout's our secret, got that?
Yeah, gotcha, you piece of crap!
Hey, now...
What's the big idea, Ban?
I told you to go steal some food. Who said you could eat it?
You piece of crap!
I-It was given to me.
Don't you dare...
talk back!
Ugh, how disgusting! Do that outside!
Get out, dammit!
Dear, do you see that?
What are you looking at?
This sucks.
Oh my, Ban!
Fancy meeting you here!
We have a wonderful job for you!
What do you say? You'll make yourself some money!
A gold coin, just to get in that barrel?
It's fake.
-Forget that, just get inside that barrel! -L-Let go of me!
Stop--
Let me out of here! Damn you!
Hey!
Hey, darling.
Lady Roxanne's really going to buy him from us, right?
Oh, yeah! That noblewoman really loves kids.
If we can get a good deal, she'll buy him for 20 or 30 gold coins!
Really?
And then, in the end she always tortures and murders them!
In other words, the demand is never-ending!
Oh my, how frightening!
Open up!
Not happening! There's no way you can move my backside.
Hey, who are you?
You cargo thief!
P-Please spare us!
So this time you nearly got yourself sold to some noble?
Zhivago?
Piece of crap.
The word is "thanks," okay?
Thanks?
That's right.
Well, not that it matters. I mean, I stole all of this as well.
Zhivago?
No more "piece of crap," okay?
Teach me how to steal.
Ban, do you understand what that means?
If you start stealing,
that means you'll never be able to make an honest living in Human society.
Then...
why do you ste...
steal... ste... al...
Your stomach's full, so you got sleepy, huh?
If you're sleepy, go to sleep.
If you don't get enough sleep, you'll never grow up.
If I fall asleep, he'll kick me in the stomach.
I see.
Then I'll guard you.
Okay.
Hey, what's your son like?
His name's Selion, and although he's shy, he's a sweet little kid.
And then my other son has a mean stare, spiky hair, and his name is Ban.
How come you only go home to him at night?
Because if I go back and forth too often, the Knights will find out where I live.
Does Selion know that you steal?
Yeah.
Both he and I have accepted our fate.
Ban.
Don't ever trust Humans.
I trust you, Zhivago!
Seriously! What a dummy you are!
All right, go to bed! We have an early start for tomorrow's job.
So this mansion's our target today, huh?
Zhivago's late.
I know!
Maybe I'll steal the treasure by myself before Zhivago gets here!
Think that'll surprise him? Maybe he'll praise me?
-It's an intruder! -Oh, crap!
Zhivago... I'm sorry, Zhivago!
Trying to do it on my own. I'm sorry.
Hey, is something the matter?
Nope.
It's strange, young man.
But when I look at your eyes, I'm reminded of my son's face.
Your son?
But a Beastman's son would be a Beastman, right?
It was more than 30 years ago.
I'm sure the kid hates me.
Even after being betrayed and hurt by Humans,
to think that he would trust only me.
He told me so himself, but I...
I...
Dammit, I overslept!
I just hope that Ban didn't start without me!
I knew it!
That dummy!
-Ban! -Hey!
I hear a Werefox cub was spotted in the mountains!
To the mountains, to hunt it down!
Selion!
Be careful, Dad. Hurry up and come home!
Dad!
Zhivago!
I'm sorry!
-It's a Beastman! -I'm sorry, Ban!
I trust you, Zhivago!
Dad... you came back.
I'm the most vile man there is.
That day, if I hadn't made the wrong choice,
I might not have ended up losing everything.
You weren't wrong about anything.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Even if you had saved me,
if I found out that you'd abandoned your real son,
I never would've forgiven you.
I never hated you, not once.
To me, you were the ideal father.
Zhivago!
Ban...
when did you get so damned big?
All right, everyone, time for rigorous training!
To be honest, I'm not really in the mood right now.
Well, fine, then.
Although I doubt the Ten Commandments care whether you're in the mood or not!
Oslo!
That's a Black Hound! How rare!
I thought they'd gone extinct!
That's one dumb-looking mutt.
All right, everyone who wishes to train, head to the entrance!
Oh, and don't forget to remove all your equipment.
The best way to feel and draw out the latent power within you
is to strip down, after all.
All equipment, disabled!
I never said to remove your pants.
That said, only the bare minimum is necessary.
Everybody, take one of these.
It's just an ash staff protected by magical power,
but its durability is guaranteed.
Is everyone ready?
Now, then, step inside!
All right, you guys, follow me! Don't get lost!
They can train us however they want, but for Sir Hawk it'll be mere child's play!
Isn't that right, you swine?
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Where'd everyone go?
How could you leave me all by myself?
Light. So you're all over there, huh?
Wait for me!
What, we're paired up again?
That's my line.
-It's starting already? -Here it comes!
Lightning King Iron Hammer!
Rising Tornado!
It's really strong!
Not only does lightning barely have any effect,
it's so heavy, wind can't even budge it!
We don't stand a chance with the output from these sticks!
We should have better weapons!
But then there wouldn't be any point to this training!
Then how are we supposed to win?
At the very least, we can't beat it if we fight the way we always do.
That doesn't really answer my question. We'll just have to do something reckless!
Idiot! That's exactly how we lost last time!
Our chances are still zero even if we take it seriously, moron!
You never take anything seriously!
You're too much of a straight arrow!
Hey, Little Gil. You're too much of a straight arrow, you know.
If you stick to the standard forms, you'll never get stronger.
Make your mind more flexible!
Howzer, you don't take things seriously.
To find a way to win, it's important to remain composed and remember proper form.
Howzer, there's something I'd like to try.
What a coincidence. Same here!
Channel your power into the point!
I'm channeling my power into the point!
Still, I can barely inflict any damage with this wooden stick.
In that case!
I'll channel my magical power into the point!
Breakthrough!
Listen up, Little Gil. On the battlefield, anything goes.
I'm going to cover my weapon in lightning,
and my body with the surplus magical power!
Full body armor!
Lightning King Heavy Armor!
Oh? So Mr. Straight Arrow just disregarded proper form!
In such a short time, they altered their Power Levels...
They're quite an intriguing pair.
If lightning barely effects you,
I'll keep scorching you with it until it does!
Lightning God Embrace!
You've got this, Gil!
Right!
Where are we?
Where's the Clay Dragon?
Don't tell me, once again we...
Too bad you let up at the very end.
The tactics you displayed along the way were dazzling.
But still, you did a good job.
I'm sure you carved out a foothold for the next step!
We did it, huh?
Yeah!
All right, next time let's improve our focus to...
Look how splendid and capable those two runts have become.
Really... I'm so glad I didn't end up killing them.
That said, there's certainly enough blood on my hands, Dreyfus!
I heard what happened.
You rescued Little Gil, Howzer and the others.
Thank you for that, Hendrickson.
Sure.
Did its body just split up?
Most likely, it's a type of golem.
It stopped moving!
How did you do that?
Jack. I took control of its body.
I order you. Turn around once and then bow.
Sir Gowther!
No need to worry about me.
Apparently, this isn't an autonomous golem,
but simply a piece of junk being controlled by someone else.
S-Someone else? Where are they?
The king-and-doll team is having a harder time than I thought! Good luck, boys!
Jenna?
Will you let me into the Cave of Training, too?
What changed your mind?
I thought you weren't in the mood for any training.
It's to make sure I can definitely save Diane.
Fighting the Ten Commandments, there's no chance of winning the way things are now.
In that case, want to go in with Hendy?
It's customary to enter the Cave of Training in pairs.
-You're kidding-- -I'll go in with him!
C-Captain!
All right, in you two go.
Did you get your power back?
Nope. Before I can get it back, I have to rehabilitate my body a little.
Go ahead and choose one of the Goddess Ambers floating in there.
There are various kinds of monsters inside.
Which do you want, Captain?
Hey, King.
Do you think you can be a little more open-minded about Hendrickson?
What do you mean?
Are you telling me to forgive him?
I'm not saying that.
There's no denying that what he did is unforgivable,
and I completely understand how you feel.
But...
he was being controlled the entire time by Fraudrin,
who possessed Dreyfus's body ten years ago.
There was nothing that could've been done.
You mean, if you're being controlled, nothing you do is considered a sin?
Anyway, who's this Fraudrin?
One of the Ten Commandments.
The Ten Commandments. Right.
And then there's also Galand and Monspiet, right?
Why do you know so much about the Ten Commandments,
who were sealed 3,000 years ago?
What is it you want to say, King?
You're a member of the Demon race like them, right?
Hey, Meliodas.
Are you really our ally?
