Meliodas and the others are in the Druids' Holy Land, Istar,
undergoing intense training to prepare for their battle against the Ten Commandments.
LIGHTNING GOD EMBRACE
Meanwhile, Ban and Jericho have encountered a Werefox.
-Ban! -Hey!
I hear a Werefox cub was spotted in the mountains!
Dad...
Dad!
Zhivago!
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry, Ban!
I'm the most vile man there is.
I never hated you, not once.
To me, you were the ideal father.
Zhivago!
Ban...
when did you get so damned big?
Meliodas! Are you really our ally?
Wh-What's this?
They started fighting all of a sudden!
What's going on, Lady Jenna?
-Why would they-- -How should I know?
Answer me, Meliodas.
That depends on what you'd define as an "ally."
If you ever turn on Elizabeth or my teammates, then I'm your enemy.
Don't dodge the question!
Tell me what your goal is!
Whoa!
What are you going to do now? Your weapon's out of commission!
Status Promotion!
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 11: FATHER & SON
Ban... it's really you, right?
You sure got old, Zhivago.
I can't believe it. Who knew that I'd be reunited with you like this?
Why didn't you tell me you were a Beastman?
Because I was afraid.
That you would never look at me the same way.
Sorry about that.
I'm not really sure what's going on, but I'm so glad for you two!
If you're not sure what's going on, why are you crying?
Don't tell me that girl's your girlfriend?
-She's not. -Don't answer so fast!
Then what am I to you, Ban?
My wallet. Or a little sister.
Little sister? Do you even have a little sister?
She was like you, always following me around every single day.
Brother Ban! Brother Ban! Wait!
But she died when she was four.
But still... Ban.
You must be over 40 by now,
but you don't look a day over 20 to me.
How is that possible?
Zhivago, I drank the water from the fountain you told me about.
Fountain?
So I won't die, or even grow old anymore.
Are you serious?
The Fountain of Youth?
Yeah.
See, there's this huge, towering tree in the Fairy King's Forest up north.
And I hear that at the top there's the Fountain of Youth,
this treasure guarded by a saint.
They say whoever drinks from it is granted eternal life,
so you can bet a lot of people want to get their hands on it.
Eternal life, huh?
That's awesome! Okay, I'm gonna go steal it!
Dummy. You'd be up against a scary saint who's wiped out entire armies.
You wouldn't last long.
How would you know that unless I tried?
I know! You don't have to try for me to know that.
Then come with me, Zhivago.
Come on, give me a break.
It takes four days to get to the Fairy King's Forest.
I'm amazed.
Who would've thought that the Fountain of Youth actually existed?
I thought it was just a fairy tale when I told you about it.
Then there really was a saint guarding the fountain, too?
She died.
I want to bring her back to life.
Dear...
Mom. Come on, let's go.
Sitting here crying isn't gonna bring dad back.
What's going on?
An indescribable, ominous air is beginning to gather in this area.
It can't be.
Are we about to witness the overturning of the foundation of the world's logic,
a situation that should never occur?
It's been one surprise after another for me today.
Who knew that you were a member
of the renowned Seven Deadly Sins I've heard so much about,
and on top of that, your girlfriend's a saint from the Fairy race?
You're something else!
Hey, don't tease.
The dead being brought back to life, huh?
True, I've heard rumors like that in the last few days.
But I'm sorry, I don't know anything else.
It's all right. I'll try to find another source.
It must be painful.
You don't discover how to resurrect the dead every day.
But even if you wanted to follow your girlfriend in death,
you can't die anymore, right?
Sure, it's painful.
But crying and moaning about how much it hurts
isn't going to bring her back to life.
Well, I'm glad.
About what?
The fact that you've found something you value more than yourself.
You never opened up to any other Human but me.
Well, that's still true now. I don't think I can get along with Humans.
Hey, Joriko!
What do you want?
A cockroach.
Just kidding!
Don't mess with me, dammit!
You might be the first, you know.
The first what?
The first Human I can tolerate.
I-I'm the first? That you don't mind?
In other words... you like me?
I'll kill you.
Ban, there's still something else.
What do you mean, something else?
Don't forget I'm your dad.
I can tell when my son has something on his mind.
Since back then,
I found both a lover and a friend that I cherish.
And yet I... had to decide between my lover and my friend,
and I chose to kill my friend.
Did you kill him?
He's an unbelievably good guy.
No matter how much I joke around, he always smiles and forgives me.
So I've come to depend on that.
I don't know what your circumstances were,
but I chose between you and Selion, and abandoned you.
But you've forgiven me.
But I... tried to kill him!
Even so, instead of being mad at me, he smiled and was willing to forgive me.
He didn't even reject me for trying to kill him.
He's an unbelievable do-gooder!
Ban...
I see.
And the thought of depending on him makes you sick, huh?
Yeah! I'm a piece of crap who's beyond salvation!
He sounds like a great friend.
Listen up.
No matter how much you regret it deep down,
it's meaningless if you can't get through to your friend.
Just like with me, you know.
Don't hold it in. Let it all out.
And then beg for forgiveness with all your heart.
Those are the last words
that I can leave my son... as your father.
Meliodas.
Come on, answer me. Tell me what your goal is.
To gallantly protect the peace of the kingdom as the captain of our order?
No, that's not it.
Okay, then is it to live a drunken everyday life as the owner of a tavern?
Wrong again.
You've got that sinister, negative magical power,
and you look the same despite so many years passing.
And on top of that, you seem to know those monsters
who've been sealed for 3,000 years.
Hey, you, aren't you actually one of the Ten Commandments?
Meliodas of the Demon race.
Merlin, what did King do to Meliodas?
It was just a scratch, but it's quickly getting worse!
Turning toxins into deadly poison, causing one small tumor to spread.
This is King's true magical power, Disaster.
On the one hand, allowing trees and plants to flourish and proliferate,
and on the other culling them to maintain balance, and rule the forest.
It's a very fitting magical power for the Fairy King.
Keeping quiet isn't fair.
And you call yourself the captain of the Seven Deadly Sins?
Then here I come again.
Status Promotion!
Full Counter!
Too bad. It didn't work on me.
It seems your attack didn't even scratch me.
Hey, what about you King, are you really the Fairy King?
What?
Both the previous Fairy King Daria,
and his predecessor, the First Fairy King had splendid wings,
so why don't you have any wings?
Shut up! I'm the one asking questions!
Condense Power!
A water droplet? No, this isn't an ordinary droplet.
You take the minute amount of moisture left in the ash wood,
and instantly condense it to a point to create a water droplet.
More like an iron droplet.
Instantly condense it to a point, huh?
I see.
Instantly condense it to a point!
I did it!
Is that a lump of Darkness?
Would you stop it already?
Both of you, come out of there right now!
Oh, what should we do?
Diane and Ban trust you with all their hearts.
If you ever betray that trust, I'll never forgive you.
I can't tell you everything right now.
Even if I did tell you, I doubt you'd believe me.
If that's your answer, then I'm going to keep an eye on you from now on.
Until the moment I'm sure you're a man worthy of my trust.
Okay.
Hey...
Do you remember what you said to me the first day we met?
No, it's nothing.
Hey, they came out!
Meliodas!
Yo, Little Gil!
You idiots! What was the reason for that fight?
We were debating whether we liked boobs or butts more, and it got out of hand.
Right?
What was that pain just now?
Now then, now then, now then...
Can you restore my power now?
Seriously!
To be honest, I want to tell you, "No way!"
But I have no choice.
No way, is that a Goddess Amber, too?
I-It's huge!
Sir Meliodas' power is inside that?
It was really difficult to get it in there!
Everyone else, step back.
-All right. Here we go, Meliodas. -Okay!
Wh-What? It's nighttime all of a sudden!
This isn't the darkness of night.
It's Meliodas' power, released from the Amber.
There's no doubt. It's him.
This is it! My power has definitely been returned!
Meliodas?
Is anyone else getting an ominous vibe?
Just kidding!
Thank goodness!
Jeez, he's exactly the same as he was before!
Do you really think he's the same as before?
There... we go.
Merlin, can you send me over to the Ten Commandments?
It's not that I can't...
Are you serious?
Entering enemy territory like that would be suicidal!
So it is possible, right?
There's just one thing. Once I teleport you,
there'll be a slight delay before you can be teleported back.
In other words, Captain, you must survive for more than ten seconds on your own.
Otherwise, by the time you return, you'll be reduced to a lump of meat.
Do you still wish to do it?
Yeah, let's do it!
Very well.
Meliodas! Why don't you take a little more time before--
I'm only going over there to say hi!
Yo!
Meliodas!
Wait!
Don't any of you lift a finger!
That's the prey I failed to kill.
I'll be the one to deal the killing blow!
You. Are you a little different from last time?
Chaotic Judgment!
Just a little bit came back.
Still, was Meliodas really able to abandon his emotions?
He didn't really seem any different.
How strange.
No. He hasn't abandoned them.
Zaneri!
What do you mean, he hasn't abandoned his emotions?
Are you saying there's a chance he might get consumed by rage again and go berserk?
Right now, what exists inside him isn't the blazing wrath
that sends him on a rampage, destroying everything in his sight,
but a wrath that will consume everything silently, like a deep sea.
Meliodas has complete control over his rage now.
This is how it should be...
This is how it should be, or things would get dull!
Did you see that?
He's a handful.
Don't glare at me like that.
After all these years, I just wanted to say hi and have a chat.
There's nothing for us to talk about.
Except for our rage towards you, and thirst for revenge on the four races.
How cold, Zeldris. We're brothers, aren't we?
Fifteen seconds until you're teleported back.
If you guys want to continue from where we left off 3,000 years ago,
the Seven Deadly Sins and I will do anything to demolish you.
I told you, there's nothing to talk about.
This isn't talk. It's a warning!
So that's the power of the Accursed Demon.
Oh, it's so very delightful.
The hell it is!
