[somber music playing]

[narrator] Meliodas' transformation progresses.

To prevent this from completing,

Merlin and the rest of the assault force battle Zeldris.

Meanwhile, to save Meliodas' soul,

Ban decides to head for Purgatory to fight alone.

And after an unimaginably cruel journey,

Ban reunites with Meliodas.

[Meliodas sobbing loudly]

[music fades]

[air whooshing]

[Meliodas] I'd completely given up on going back.

I honestly thought I'd never be able to get out of Purgatory at all.

Or see Elizabeth, you, or anyone else again, either.

This is a real shock.

But why are you in Purgatory, anyway?

Did Mr. Ban the Undead finally get taken out?

No, you idiot.

Come on, now.

I obviously came here to find you and bring you back home.

Wait a second. You know of a way back?

Is that what you're saying?

Oh…

Are you that stupid?

You recklessly dove in here without knowing how to get back out again?

[Ban groaning]

Give me a break. What did you expect?

I had no choice.

I couldn't leave you alone in this craphole.

Guess it pays to have idiots for friends. [giggling]

[Ban chuckling]

[lively music playing]

[Meliodas] Well, we've got plenty of time to figure it out.

[Ban] Yep. Two heads are better than one. Let's do it!

[Meliodas grunting, laughing]

[creature growling]

[intense music playing]

[narrator] This is a tale of ancient times.

An era before the human and non-human worlds

were forever divided.

[fire blazing]

[narrator] A second Holy War.

In the battle over the fate of Britannia,

not even the gods could determine what was to come.

Even so, the conflict rages on.

There are those who fight to destroy the evil rule

and protect the future of those they hold dear.

These warriors are known as the chosen heroes.

They are the Seven Deadly Sins!

EPISODE TWO A MEETING WITH THE UNKNOWN

[lively music playing]

There are two different types of creatures that exist in Purgatory.

Foreign creatures are the kind that originate from souls that fell here

and end up becoming savages.

So like the monsters you and I turned into.

[Meliodas] Exactly.

And since they lose themselves in the process,

they turn to dust after they die.

[both grunting]

[creature sniffing, grunting]

[Meliodas] The second type are indigenous creatures.

They were born here and have substance.

Their bodies have evolved to live and thrive

in Purgatory's harsh environment.

They are the ones we should set our sights on.

We can make clothes out of the materials we harvest from them.

[demon growling]

[Ban] That thing sure can move fast.

This is gonna be fun!

[creature panting]

[Ban grunting]

[creature warbling]

[Ban grunting]

Here I go. Fox Hunt-- [grunting]

Captain, it's heading towards you now.

[creature panting, grunting]

[Meliodas] This one seems to understand the situation.

Must be its natural instinct.

-[creature grunting] -[Meliodas groaning]

[creature warbling]

-What? -[Meliodas chuckling]

Yeah. I knew that would happen.

[Ban] What was that?

Where did your usual animalistic strength go?

Well, I'm just Meliodas' emotions after all.

So, I'm kinda like a soul.

If we try to escape here together,

I'm only gonna be a burden to you.

[sighing]

Then I guess I'll have to carry you on my back.

[contemplative music playing]

[creature sniffing, grunting]

[creature growling]

[Ban] Hmm.

[Meliodas] Because of the curse my father placed on me,

I'm torn away from my true form each time I die and sent here.

[Ban] And what does he get by doing that?

[Meliodas] Father wishes for me to be his successor.

but my emotions get in the way of that happening.

That's why he wants to erase them.

[Ban] Well, I get it now.

[both panting]

I can't believe you've survived in Purgatory

with a physical body all this time.

There were lots of times I thought about giving up,

but I just kept going.

And now I've gotten so used to being here that I can even get some sleep.

[groaning]

[breathing heavily]

Victory!

[stones banging]

[Meliodas] Hey, Ban.

Yeah? What's up?

[Meliodas] You're pretty amazing. You know?

Uh, what's with the sudden compliment?

Thanks for everything.

[chuckling]

Well, to catch you up,

I heard from Merlin that you'd been taken away by the Demon King.

So, I assumed you had to be trapped somewhere

and this made sense.

At first, I was confined by Father and he kept watch over me.

I spent a lot of time looking for the exit.

I was determined to return to my real form,

but I was never able to find it.

So I gave up and fell into despair.

Father was relieved to see me become a monster

and threw me out.

[Meliodas growling]

[roaring]

So he was confident you couldn't escape.

That's why he let you roam.

He didn't think there was any sort of possibility

you might run into the exit by chance just by wandering around.

[Meliodas] That makes sense.

And it would explain why he threw me out without even thinking.

If that's the case, then the exit has to be in my Father's vicinity.

You think that's possible?

[Ban chuckling]

At the very least, it's definitely worth checking out, don't you think?

[lively music playing]

[Meliodas chuckling]

[Ban chuckling]

[Meliodas] All righty, then. Sounds like we have a plan.

Let's begin our exit mission, shall we?

Hey. I've got a question for you.

What's the first thing you'll do when we get back to the living world?

First, I'll break Elizabeth's curse,

and after that I'm gonna drink Bernia Ale to my heart's content!

Sounds good.

Obviously, I'm gonna bring Elaine back to life,

and then I'll go and absolutely drown myself in Aberdeen Ale.

Nice! Can't argue with that one.

[Ban chuckling] We sure see eye-to-eye, huh?

Huh?

Full Counter!

[squelching]

[Meliodas grunting]

-[creature roaring] -[Meliodas grunting]

[Meliodas groaning, straining]

[creature roaring]

[straining]

I can't get out.

-[thudding] -Huh?

Don't worry. I'll clean this up in a flash.

Have a taste of my Crazy Hunt!

[squelching]

Like I said, it's no problem for me.

Hmm?

Suppose I could take care of one more.

I couldn't resist. This guy's meat tastes amazing.

This is the best. [chomping]

I'm undead, and you're not in your real form,

but still, nothing beats a good meal.

Don't you just feel so alive when you're eating?

[Ban chomping]

Mmm.

[Ban grunting]

You're not eating. Something wrong?

It's been over 500 years since we reunited,

but I'm still surprised, and honestly shocked,

at your ability to adapt.

What did you expect me to do?

I'm not like you, Captain. I'm living flesh and blood.

So I really have no choice but to adapt.

It's absurd you never considered the possibility that you couldn't.

[straining]

You're insane. [sighing heavily]

[groaning]

Oh, and that's not everything.

Check this out.

Perhaps I adapted too well.

I'm completely immune to any kind of burns and frostbite too.

Hell, even the air that used to be suffocating…

[chuckling] …it's crazy, but it tastes totally delicious to me now.

-[Meliodas] Ban. -Huh?

Humans were definitely not built to survive here in Purgatory at all,

let alone with their sanity intact.

I bet you're the first and last.

I'm not sure I count. I mean, I am undead, after all.

[Meliodas] It takes a lot more than that to be able to endure it.

[Ban laughing]

Then maybe it's also thanks to the shitty environment I grew up in.

Sort of like I had a head start.

[Meliodas] That's not what I was talking about either.

Your experience here, enduring all those hardships along the way

triggered a dramatic change in both your body and spirit.

I'm sure everyone will be surprised when we get back.

Hmm. I don't know about all that,

but it'd be pretty great if I powered up enough

to face off with the Ten Commandments as an equal.

That'd make it all worthwhile.

[laughing]

[Meliodas laughing]

[Ban] Hey! What are you laughing at? Got something to say to me?

Maybe. Use your imagination.

There's something I only fully understood after being stuck here.

[Meliodas] Hmm?

I mean, I always knew you were strong, but you've got tremendous hidden power.

I've been through ice and flames in Purgatory,

and nothing managed to leave a single mark on me,

but then you were able to leave me with this badge.

[Meliodas sighing]

[Ban] You say I'm impressive,

but you'll be invincible once you get your real body back, Captain.

[both chuckling]

There isn't a better team out there,

so let's go find the Demon King and get back already!

[Meliodas] Yeah! Then I'm gonna be all over Elizabeth!

[Ban] And I'll flirt with Elaine like there's no tomorrow!

And we'll reopen the Boar Hat together with the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins!

[both] Yeah!

[Ban] Oh, but, uh, don't bother cooking when we do.

-All right? -[both chuckling]

-You noticed it. Right? -I did.

[creature growling]

[grunting] I got you!

[gasping]

[Ban] Huh?

[Meliodas gasping]

[creature] Stay where you are.

[Meliodas gasping] Who are you?

[creature] I ask the questions.

-Tell me who you are, strange ones. [suspenseful music playing]

[creature] You mentioned going back to somewhere.

You also said a lot of other things that I couldn't just overlook.

It seems ridiculous, but is it possible you're travelers from a different world?

Well, I guess you could call us that.

[creature] I knew it!

Now answer me! Are you one of the Demon King's underlings?

[creature] The Demon King?

Oh, that giant, huh?

I do know where he is though.

[both gasping]

Wait. You really know where he is?

[creature] Yes, and I'll even show you the way, if you wish.

However, in return I ask for your cooperation.

You never told us who you were.

[tense music playing]

-[both] Huh? -I am the great warrior, Wild!

I have been wandering here in search of my younger brother,

separated at birth.

[Wild snorting]

-Master? -Hawk?

Hmm? No. It's "Wild."

When you mention your little brother separated at birth,

you were talking about Hawk. Right?

Who's Hawk?

Ah, either way, my little brother's name was "Mild."

But it is also true that we were separated as soon as he was born,

so I wouldn't be too surprised if he didn't remember his name.

[snorting] Hold on a second!

Are you telling me that you know someone who looks like my handsome self?

[chuckling] Way more than just looks like you.

Anyone with eyes could see it. [chuckling]

Seriously, you guys are practically clones.

[tears sloshing]

[Wild whimpering]

[sobbing loudly]

His wailing sounds exactly the same as Hawk's when he's got diarrhea.

[Wild] Huh?

[sobbing loudly]

I can't believe it. Oh…

[chuckling] My stomach hurts from laughing so much!

[Wild snorting]

[wind whooshing]

[Wild] It's about time for a scorching sandstorm.

My guests from the other world, I invite you to visit my home.

So please come with me!

[Ban] Impressive! You carved out all this by yourself?

I did, and you all are my very first guests.

[whimsical music playing]

[Wild] It's my personal masterpiece!

Huh.

This place really is amazing.

[Wild] Yeah. Well, I get bored.

[Ban chuckling] This thing's super uncomfortable.

[Meliodas] I don't think that's made for sitting, Ban.

You made this out of boredom?

[Wild] Yeah. Well, I get bored.

Drink up.

It's wart tea made from the warts on Big Breast's butt.

From Big Breast's…

So this is butt-wart tea, huh?

[Meliodas] Hmm.

[slurping]

It tastes just like Purgatory.

Yeah. I can't think of any other way to describe this.

[slurping]

[Wild sighing]

[Wild hiccuping]

-[Meliodas] Huh? -[Ban] Huh?

I can't believe that it's been over eight million years already

since my dear brother Mild was taken.

As soon as he was born he was kidnapped by the Demon King.

And I couldn't stop it.

He was sent to a completely different world.

Mild, no!

So let's see. Hawk woke up in Britannia 16 years ago.

If a minute there equates to a year in Purgatory,

then the timeline does make sense.

There's something else, though.

I still have no idea why he was sent there in the first place.

[Meliodas] Oh. He was sent to spy on me since I'm the son of the Demon King.

You're what?

Yeah. There's no doubt about it. That's why Hawk was chosen.

So you're really the Demon King's son?

That's a lot to process.

Wait. Now that I think about it, I never did get your names.

I'm Meliodas, and he's Ban.

I understand that he needed a spy, but why was my baby brother chosen?

[Meliodas] In the beginning, Father used regular animals to spy on me.

He figured that I wouldn't be too wary of them.

But they all ended up dying from small accidents

or just brief lifespans.

That's when he thought to use a creature from Purgatory.

And sure enough, Hawk is indeed abnormally strong.

Now it all makes sense.

It's no wonder he can withstand attacks from someone as strong as Hendrickson.

[Meliodas] Not to mention, with his good nature

nobody suspected him of anything either.

Please Mr. Meliodas, Mr. Ban,

tell me more about Mild. No. I mean, Hawk!

Please tell me more about Hawk.

I'm sure he must have grown to be so wonderful and strong.

[both chuckling]

[lively music playing]

[inaudible]

[Wild groaning, gasping]

Oh, no! What's wrong?

This isn't good.

Reality was too different from what he imagined,

he's completely gone into shock!

[Meliodas] Hey! Get me a bag! It'll help stop the hyperventilation!

[Ban] Where do I find one?

Sorry about that.

I started running my mouth and I should have pumped the brakes.

I get it.

It makes sense you'd be disappointed

when your brother isn't how you'd imagined him.

[Wild snorting]

It was quite shocking to hear, but still,

even if he's not what I thought,

even if the paths we've walked were completely different all this time,

none of it changes the fact that he's my precious younger brother

who I love.

[gasping] Hmm.

You're right about that.

[energy pulsating]

You should be grateful to burn and writhe by my Grace.

Oh?

Well, that was only a demonstration.

You withstood my technique with ease.

Is this an example of that god-like power that's been given to you?

Oh!

That stance must be…

With that out of the way,

it's time I show you my true magical power.

-[Gilthunder gasping] -[ominous music playing]

You talk a big game. I pray that you're not just bluffing.

I can't defend you from here on,

so stand back.

Right. I will.

I thought we'd get to do more.

Yeah. Too bad there's no place for us here.

Now then, savor this!

My Dark Nebula!

[gasping]

[air whooshing]

[gasping]

[all straining]

Get out of my way! Go!

[groaning]

What happened to me?

My… my body was pulled in.

[groaning]

[wind whooshing intensely]

[Ludociel grunting]

[straining]

Hendrickson!

[gasping]

It's okay. You can relax. They're both still alive.

Miss Merlin!

In any case, this situation is…

[groaning]

[Escanor gasping]

Now that was a cunning act.

She's maintaining her distance by using continuous teleportation.

If you want to pull me in that badly,

I don't mind coming to you willingly.

However, you should know

I've already seen through your swordsmanship.

[scoffing lightly]

-[thudding] -[Ludociel gasping]

[groaning]

[wind whooshing]

[Ludociel gasping]

[Ludociel groaning, grunting]

[Escanor] What's this? You choose now to try and get intimate?

It clearly wasn't my choice to get slammed into your back.

Now's not the time to be joking around, you giant fool!

Oh, really? So you think I'm a fool?

Seems you two are getting along better than ever.

[Ludociel] Merlin! What's the deal with his magical powers?

[Merlin] At this point,

there are three known traits of his Dark Nebula ability.

First, a strong vacuum emerges around him,

attracting only living beings.

Second, our physical attacks are completely nullified,

and he can then strike with an unknown attack.

And what I just discovered,

he was completely untouched by any of the attacks we executed

before he activated the Dark Nebula,

making our magical attacks ineffective.

Although, that is most likely the power of his other ability.

The one called "God."

[Ludociel groaning]

[Merlin] We're totally vulnerable to his attacks, while ours are limited.

This battle is going to be even more painstaking than we imagined.

Hey, Escanor! I need you to lend me a hand!

No. I refuse.

Huh? What are you trying to pull here?

What gives you the authority to bark orders at me?

That is beyond impertinent.

-What… -Did…

He just say?

Who are you to utter such arrogance?

Now you ask. I am Escanor, the Lion's Sin.

Simply deplorable!

Well, I am Ludociel,

the leader of the Four Archangels of the Goddess Clan!

And I couldn't care less!

Someone like you should take my words as God's words

and cooperate without question!

Regardless, that doesn't concern me.

You can't be serious! [yelling]

Come on, Escanor. Just cooperate with him for now.

[Ludociel grunting]

I'd be glad to.

What? So you'll take orders from that woman, but not from me?

[Escanor] Miss Merlin is just that extraordinary.

Anyway, you'd better have a good strategy in mind already.

If you don't, I'll beat you to a pulp.

I need you to assure me that you'll obey my words!

[upbeat music playing]

All right. It doesn't look so bad now.

Since the hot sandstorm's finally stopped,

shall we head off and resume our escape mission?

Right. We're off to see the Demon King.

And then I'll finally be reunited with my beloved Mild.
