The festival they joined to win Diane's sacred treasure

has reached the final round!

Diane vs. Meliodas.

Who will emerge victorious?

Why, you...

filthy womanizer!

Moreover, a party of Holy Knights, led by Guila, is approaching.

EPISODE 12 BLOODCURDLING CANON

Matrona has jumped the gun with a ferocious preemptive strike!

I'm not putting up with your crap, not this time!

That was a misunderstanding. I don't remember those girls at--

None of your excuses!

This might get ugly if I don't go all-out, too!

Hey, can the arena take this?

That hurt!

Captain, you jerk!

What happened?

I sense...

What's the matter?

Is it over?

Don't leave us hanging!

Get started!

They haven't flexed so hard that they've wet themselves, have they?

Sir Ban? Sir King?

I'm actually Meliodas the Dragon Sin, Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins!

We're claiming the whole village of Vaizel as our own!

What? Why'd that idiot tell them who he really is?

Tell me, Elizabeth! Why?

You have one minute to leave Vaizel!

If you don't, we'll kill you all!

You're not fooling anyone, dumb kid!

You don't look anything like that wanted poster!

But given how strong they are, you don't suppose...

What's gotten into those four?

Get the hell out!

Hey, what's that?

FULL COUNTER

Damn, they're here already?

That gear she's holding is sacred treasure-class.

Guila's probably way stronger than when we fought her in the Necropolis.

And now there are three of them.

Let's split up for now.

Get clear of the town! Hurry!

Follow that man!

Ellie! Ellie!

Damn it, they're here way ahead of schedule.

I haven't found Ellie yet!

Princess Veronica.

We should withdraw for now. This is a powerful attack.

I can't. If I let this chance pass me by,

I'll never get Ellie back again!

Ellie!

Wait! Princess Veronica!

Overkill is definitely her thing.

I've missed you for so long.

Does that hurt?

Now, this is my idea of a festival!

Uh, have we met before?

I am Jericho.

Would it help if I said

I was the Holy Knight apprentice you humiliated at Baste?

Oh, that hairdresser boy! You're into cross-dressing?

Godspeed Ten Flashes!

Hey, are you kidding me?

I'm bleeding... The wounds aren't closing!

The reason I passed myself off as a man

was because I was weak and wanted to make myself look stronger.

But that's no longer necessary.

My hatred for you has brought me to a whole new level.

You made a woman of me.

And now you're going to reap what you've sown, Ban.

It's been a while, Meliodas.

Hey, Guila! What brings you here today?

Our encounter in the Necropolis was most informative.

Today I'll review the lessons to my satisfaction.

The word "satisfaction" can also be used to mean "revenge," right?

Whatever, I'll take you on.

No, you are no longer a match for me.

If I get careless and touch them, they'll explode, huh?

I guess I'll have to defuse each one.

Oh, they'll explode on their own even if you are cautious.

The first explosion will set off a chain reaction,

trapping the target in a cage of flames.

Even if I end up as roast pork, or pork-kebab...

No, even if I'm reduced to trotters, I'll make sure you stay safe, Elizabeth!

I can't let you do that!

We'll make it out in one piece together, okay?

Elizabeth!

Sir Meliodas! Sir Ban!

Are you also finished, Jericho? What's that on your lips?

He didn't make it past my warm-up exercises.

Disposing of the Seven Deadly Sins is no more than a side objective.

Plus, the enemy who merits the most caution is still at large.

Hey, Captain!

The residents have been evacuated!

Captain? Ban?

Oh, no!

Just kidding.

Well, I'm good and warmed up now, so why don't we get down to... Huh?

Oh, you're done?

Good work, King!

They aren't dead yet.

I have some questions for them, so look after those two, will you?

You got it!

You be careful too, Sir King!

Now, then. What's your real objective here?

It's gone! Gone, gone, gone!

My Gideon is gone! What am I going to do?

Oh, no! He was caught in Guila's blasts!

Diane the Serpent Sin of the Seven Deadly Sins!

Hold it right there!

Howzer?

For your crimes against the Grand Master ten years ago,

-and attempting a coup, I-- -I did no such thing.

Anyway, this man comes first.

Hang in there!

-I'll take you somewhere safe! -Thank you...

Stop messing with my head!

Hello there!

I'll help if you're having trouble.

Wh-what's going on? My body... feels heavy!

Catch, Howzer!

Diane!

Whew, I'm beat!

Elizabeth?

Please watch over Sir Meliodas...

Elizabeth?

Elizabeth, are you getting bigger?

Oh, no! My body's returning to its normal size!

Where did that girl get to?

It's possible that she isn't in town.

They intend to exploit her, so I doubt they'd leave her alone.

I'm positive she's somewhere in this town.

Damn those Sins!

Ellie?

V-Veronica? Big sister?

"Big sister"?

Thank you, Veronica. It's a bit breezy downstairs, though...

Jeez, do I even want to know?

Anyway, I'm glad to see you looking well.

Still, this is you we're talking about. I figured you would be fine.

Veronica...

As if I'd really think that, Dumm-Ellie!

Just how worried are you planning to make me?

This isn't like when we were kids and you snuck out of the castle to play!

Even then, it was chaos when the bridge collapsed!

I'm sorry...

Plus, rumor has it

that you're out hunting Holy Knights with the Seven Deadly Sins!

That's not true!

Not true, my ass!

The fact that you're still with the Sins right now proves it!

They're the bunch that tried to overthrow the Kingdom!

That's not...

And Meliodas here is the worst!

He's really a monster

that brings destruction to everything around him!

See? That look says you have doubts yourself!

Sir Meliodas isn't a monster, and he'd never do something so terrible!

Whatever.

There's no point in hanging around here chatting.

Come to the castle!

No! Let go!

I'll protect Elizabeth.

Sir Meliodas?

Even if it kills me!

It's just like Hendrickson said...

He said that you've brainwashed Ellie. It's true, isn't it?

That is Goddess Amber.

It's a useful item that affects

only evil creatures within a few feet of it.

Take that with you and get close to Meliodas.

But it is possible that doing so might put Princess Veronica in danger.

Griamore.

You take after your father, Dreyfus. You're just as overly conservative.

These are criminals who mean to do the realm harm.

We must act swiftly.

I'll do anything to help my sister.

Princess Veronica!

You are Princess Elizabeth's only hope.

So, how does it work?

When you are near Meliodas, recite the following words...

Rosco, Basla, Melcito.

Sir Meliodas? Where did he go?

H-he got sucked inside that rock?

Meliodas really was evil!

This stone's power affects only evil people, trapping them inside!

Well? Will this snap you out of it?

Bring Sir Meliodas back!

I don't know how.

Veronica, I hate you!

You don't know a thing about Sir Meliodas!

-Griamore. -Yes, Ma'am!

You leave us no choice.

We'll bring you to the Kingdom in that.

This is nothing! My mighty trotters can bust right through your dumb bubble!

Hawk!

Not even the meteors that fall to the earth

can destroy my Wall.

If that's how it is, I guess I'll break it with one arm.

Or maybe I can slice through it with one finger.

That's odd. I haven't sensed the Captain's nor Diane's energies for a while.

And Ban's is fading...

What seems to be the trouble? You're looking a bit peaked, Fairy King.

What have you done to the Captain and Diane?

And, I guess, Ban, too?

Fine, I'll check on them myself.

And just so we're clear, if you two get in my way again, I'll--

Let people finish when they're speaking.

That high in an instant?

If you get in my way again, I'll put you down.

Spirit spear Chastiefol, fourth configuration!

I'll admit, you two are fairly powerful.

If you train for another century, you'll be well on your way.

What?

My Chastiefol! Who did that?

Oh, my! Old Fart is most perturbed by his finishing move being disrupted!

The Fighting Festival referee?

Is he making up for his Fighting Festival battle?

Holy Knights Guila and Jericho

have perished in the face of Old Fart's ferocious attack!

Actually, that wouldn't do at all!

Today's rescuer has been your friendly referee, Love Helm!

Whose true identity is...

It can't be! You're--

Helbram!

It's good to see you again, Harlequin. Oh, it's "King" now, isn't it?

How are you alive? That day, I saw you--

It doesn't matter. That is all in the past.

Sir Helbram! We will assist!

No, no, that's quite all right!

While I keep King occupied,

you two go retrieve what we were sent for.

Yes, Sir!

Now, then, what seems to be the trouble? You seem worried.

Hardly surprising for a coward like you.

You really think you can keep me busy by yourself?

As expected from a spirit spear made from the Holy Tree!

Even when cut clean in two, it regenerates right away.

Out of breath already, Your Majesty?

Your physical strength is really weaker than an average person, isn't it?

Oh, dear...

You still have some fight left in you, I see.

So, let's enjoy the festival a little more, my old friend!

Fiend! Remove your filthy hands from Princess Veronica!

That's pretty low, using a woman as a hostage!

I mean, way to go, Ban!

Do as I say, and nothing will happen to her.

For starters, bring the Captain back, and release her from that bubble.

Do it, and you get your woman back.

Bitch... Jericurl!

Princess Veronica!

That's "Jericho."

So, looks like it's time for the real star of the show to appear!

-Hawk? -Taste this! Rolling Ham Attack!

Hawk!

We have achieved all our objectives.

Sir Griamore, please release your magical ability.

Your hand, please.

Not so fast.

I appreciate your assistance, but I'll bring Ellie back myself.

Your... Hendrickson's objectives are just Meliodas and that sword, right?

What are you--

Be a good girl and hand over Princess Elizabeth.

If you don't--

I won't allow you to disrespect Princess Veronica!

Nicely done!

I don't know what you're planning,

but it looks like Hendrickson and the rest of you

need to be court-martialed!

Wait, Ellie! Ellie!

I don't trust Veronica anymore!

Elizabeth?

Would you like us to help you capture the princess?

Save your concern. I suggest you worry about your own fate.

That's a shame.

Well, he did order us to bring her back,

but her corpse would be just as acceptable, if need be.

Princess Veronica!

Princess Veronica!

Elizabeth!

Veronica... Big Sister...

This can't be happening... Why?

Veronica, wake up! Please, open your eyes!

Ellie...

I'm here! I'm right here!

You... aren't hurt?

No, you took the blast for me.

You've always had a knack for getting yourself into trouble...

I have to look out for you...

When we snuck out of the castle...

you bore the brunt of the fall and got badly hurt in my place.

I kept crying and crying, and you consoled me,

ignoring the pain of your own injuries.

Did I?

I was actually happy then,

because I knew that I had no blood ties to you or Father.

That's why... I...

Ellie... None of that stuff matters.

I'm sorry! What I said was terrible!

I can't believe I said that I hated you! I... I'm so sorry!

I love you, Ellie...

You, too! I love you, too!

I know that... After all, we're sisters.

-Griamore... -Ma'am!

This is my final order... Keep Elizabeth... safe...

Your last order? Don't say such things!

Sister?

Princess Veronica?

-Any time now. -For what?

For him to lose his composure and control over his magic.

It was a smart move to plant a ring of them all around town.

Killer Mines.

-You filthy swines! -You--

Was that wise? He's the son of one of the grand masters.

We were attacked by the Seven Deadly Sins, and he and Veronica met an untimely end.

That should do.

You're one scary woman.

Now, Princess Elizabeth, if you would please come with us?

I ask that you cooperate and not offer pointless resistance.

Veronica!

Please! Help me, Sir Meliodas!

Shout all you like,

but your hero won't come to your rescue from that stone. Come.

Meliodas!

Captain?

No, I've sensed this before...

It can't be!
