[narrator] Meliodas and Ban are planning to escape from Purgatory.

During their journey, they encounter Wild, Hawk's older brother.

Hello there! I am the great warrior, Wild!

[narrator] He joins them in hopes of reuniting with Hawk.

And together, they head to the Demon King,

who they believe to be guarding the exit to the present world.

Meanwhile, the battle in Camelot continues to rage on.

Zeldris activates his terrifying magical power, Dark Nebula,

and faces the assault with intense resolve.

But what is it that drives him?

[Wild] I never would've guessed the door to the world my brother was sent off to

was at the Demon King's feet this entire time.

My, my.

[Ban] By the way, Wild.

Do you know how long the Demon King's been here?

[Wild] Not exactly,

but he's been acting as he pleases since long before I was born.

[Meliodas] Well, he was sealed 3,000 years ago

in the present world's time, so it was much longer here.

[Wild] When I searched for my brother,

I also challenged the Demon King countless times,

but I was continuously defeated.

The current standing is 120,118 to 0!

[Ban] Man, you're stubborn as hell.

I, the great warrior, Wild, will never give up!

Now that there's hope I'll finally get to see my little brother again,

all of my efforts will prove to have been worth it!

[Ban chuckling] I bet Master would fall to the ground from shock.

[Meliodas] Probably. [chuckling]

[Wild] ♪ Mi, Mi, Mi, Mild, oh ♪

♪ It's time to sleep ♪

♪ Know that I adore you, my little bro ♪

[Ban] What's the deal with that song?

[Wild] It's a special lullaby I used to sing to Mild all the time.

[Meliodas] You really are a great brother, Wild.

[Ban] How was it with you, Captain?

[Wild] Oh? You have a younger brother too, Mr. Meliodas?

[Ban] If I remember correctly, his name was Zeldris. Right?

[Meliodas] Oh, yeah.

I've never really talked to you about him before, have I?

[Ban] Hey. It's fine.

It's a sensitive topic. You don't have to push yourself.

[Meliodas sighing] It's not like that.

It's just kind of a boring story at this point. You know?

-[Ban] Hmm? -[Wild] Hmm?

[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 3 A SINGLE-MINDED LOVE

[Meliodas] I have two younger brothers, actually.

Their names are Zeldris and Estarossa.

[Ban] Estarossa?

Huh. Wait! You mean that bearded bastard who killed you?

Yeah. He's the second-born.

[Ban scoffing]

I'm shocked. You'd never expect him to be anyone's younger brother.

[dramatic music playing]

I was once known as the next Demon King candidate,

and I led the Ten Commandments.

But I hated it, and it was too much for me to handle.

I personally thought the quarrel with the Goddess Clan was stupid,

but I still spent all my time fighting them

as the leader of the Demon Clan.

[slashing]

[Meliodas] Then there was Zeldris,

who feared and idolized me at the same time.

He's always been serious and straightforward,

and he's continued to fight for the Demon Clan.

Honestly, I couldn't understand

why he was always working so desperately hard.

[shimmering]

[Meliodas] And that was when I met Elizabeth.

My world completely changed.

The joy of your loved one's existence

and the desire to protect them,

I finally understood my brother.

He already had something like this, precious and worth protecting.

[somber piano music playing]

[woman] Zel.

[Zeldris] Gelda.

Come here.

[both grunting]

What's gotten into you all of a sudden?

[shushing]

[Gelda] It's dangerous.

We'll be in big trouble if your father sees us here like this.

[Zeldris] You're being dramatic, Gelda.

You don't understand anything at all, huh?

[Zeldris] Hmm?

You see, you're the prince of the proud Demon Clan, Zel,

and I'm just a member of the Vampire Clan, who lives and serves under them.

[Zeldris] That doesn't matter at all.

Zel…

You don't have to worry.

If anything were to happen, you can count on me to protect you.

Thanks for that.

Though, I would never ask that of you.

But still, that gives me so much joy.

[Gelda chuckling]

[Meliodas] While most of the Demon Clan

was busy stirring up conflict with other clans,

Zeldris chose to fight of his own volition,

as a merciless, cold-hearted executioner

to protect his love.

On the other hand, I made an oath with Elizabeth.

I promised to put an end to this war,

betraying the Demon Clan.

At the time, I had no idea it would trigger a Holy War,

or that… that it would end up causing him so much grief.

The Vampire Clan, executed?

[Demon King] That is correct.

As you know, Meliodas' betrayal caused an immense amount of chaos.

Vampire King Izraf has taken advantage of this

and begun a rebellion.

[Zeldris gasping]

[Demon King] You are to execute Izraf

along with every single Vampire who follows him.

You must act swiftly.

[grunting] Father, with all due respect,

Izraf was the one who attempted the rebellion.

Is it really necessary to execute those who weren't even involved?

For a long time, our Demon Clan has been served by the Vampire Clan.

If we do something this harsh now,

that means we'll make an enemy out of every Vampire there is.

On top of that,

they're a precious asset to our fight against the Goddess Clan.

I beg you. Please reconsider.

[Demon King] Silence!

[Zeldris gasping]

Listen, Zeldris.

It is imperative that we bring down the hammer of blood on rebellion

in order to set a precedent for others.

There is nothing else to consider.

Surely you understand that.

[exhaling]

[somber music playing]

Yes, Father.

[lightning cracking]

[chains clanking]

[Zeldris] I sentence Vampire King Izraf, along with his entire clan,

to be sealed away for treason against the Demon King.

[Monspeet] But, Zeldris,

the Demon King's orders were for you to execute them all, weren't they?

Killing them would be far too lenient.

They must know the weight of their betrayal,

and deserve to suffer with fear and regret for what they did.

[Monspeet sighing]

[Zeldris] Good work transporting the criminals here.

You can go now, Monspeet.

[whooshing]

[sighing heavily]

[sword clanking]

[breath shuddering]

-[Gelda] You mustn't blame yourself. -[Zeldris gasping]

You did nothing wrong, and I don't blame you.

[breath shuddering]

And for now,

I'm going to be sealed away in a deep sleep.

Zeldris,

I'll always be dreaming of our days together.

[exhaling]

[somber music swelling]

[grunting]

[Zeldris] I promise I'll come back for you.

I'll save you.

So please wait for me.

[energy pulsating]

[Zeldris whimpering, breath shuddering]

[crying]

Wait for me, Gelda.

3,000 YEARS PASS

[Zeldris] As of this moment, in the name of the Demon King himself…

Brother, what should we do?

We haven't been outside in 3,000 years.

I want to enjoy this fresh air for a while.

That's fine, then.

There's something that I need to take care of nearby.

[Zeldris] To think 3,000 years have passed already.

[footsteps approaching]

[Zeldris] What happened here?

Gelda, where could she be?

[man] I'll be darned.

It's rather unusual for me to run into fellow humans here.

You're not from anywhere around here, are you?

So where did you come from?

Do you know what happened in that cave over there?

Huh.

If I recall correctly,

about 12 years ago the knights from Liones came

and subjugated the Vampires that came back to life.

[Zeldris grunting]

What happened to those Vampires?

Did they all end up dying?

Well, of course they did.

It was a real problem.

All of Edinburgh was in quite the uproar because of them until the knights came.

Let's see. What did they call themselves again?

[tense music playing]

The Seven…

[gasping]

[somber music playing]

[Meliodas] I can't even imagine the grief that I put him through.

I wasn't there standing by his side when he needed me most.

As his oldest brother, I should have been there to help.

[Meliodas scoffing]

[Meliodas] There's no way he wouldn't resent me after that.

[Ban] Captain…

I'm sorry, Mr. Meliodas.

Well, that's it.

A story of the shitty older brother

who robbed his younger brother of what was most precious to him.

[Ban] Come on. Don't talk about yourself like that.

So then, what about the other brother that you mentioned?

[Ban] Wild!

[Meliodas chuckling]

That'll be a story for another time.

[Meliodas grunting, groaning]

[Ban] What's going on?

[tense music playing]

[Escanor grunting]

[Ludociel] Here's what we know for a fact.

Zeldris is using the magical power of God

to completely nullify all our magic attacks.

He uses his primary ability, Dark Nebula,

which creates a powerful vacuum to draw us in.

He then launches a mysterious invisible attack

before ours are ever able to reach him.

I don't have the slightest idea about the specifics of his attack,

but from what I can see, it's not coming from his sword.

Now that you understand, let's execute the plan.

I will do what must be done.

[Ludociel] Ruby Shine!

[Escanor] Cruel Sun!

[Ludociel] No matter how complex the technique,

there's always a weak point.

He sees through our attacks and counterattacks.

Therefore, it must follow the same principle as the Full Counter.

If that's the case, then we just won't let him know when to counterattack.

[both grunting]

[both grunting]

[Ludociel groaning] How did he see through us?

It doesn't make sense.

We obstructed his view and camouflaged our presence

with the explosion from Escanor's magical power.

[Ludociel groaning]

[intense music playing]

[Hendrickson grunting]

No holding back. Time to end this.

What did you say?

[Zeldris grunting]

You should know Gelda is alive.

[Zeldris gasping]

[Meliodas] When she woke up 12 years ago,

she was prepared to take her own life

because she believed her destiny with you was doomed.

So I did what I thought best.

I sealed Gelda.

And when the time comes,

I'll be sure to fulfill our promise

when I absorb the Ten Commandments and become the Demon King.

All of you, get the hell out of my way.

The vacuum strength doubled?

[both grunting]

[all yelling]

My teleport can't keep up anymore.

I'll defeat you right here,

and after that, I'll be taking the Commandment for myself!

[Merlin grunting]

[gasping] Escanor.

[Escanor] Hmm.

[Merlin] I'm sorry.

There's no need to apologize. I only followed my heart.

[wincing]

[gasping] Merlin, no!

[Escanor growling]

[Escanor yelling]

CRAZY PROMINENCE

[both grunting]

He's dragging me into this mess too?

[intense music swelling]

The true nature of the Dark Nebula.

Who knew that something this simple could also be so incredibly brutal?

He doesn't rely on vision or hearing.

Even presence doesn't matter to him.

In his extreme state of concentration, he spins the darkness at top speed,

creating a vortex that fiercely draws in every living thing around.

Also, anything that interferes

will trigger his spinal reflex

and be shredded by his inescapable, ungodly fast-slash attack.

I would call it

Full React.

[Ludociel] Ungodly speed?

Is she insinuating it surpasses even my godly domain?

[grunting] It doesn't matter!

Winning this Holy War is my most important responsibility

as the leader of the Four Archangels, and also as a mentor of Stigma!

-[Hendrickson grunting] -Margaret, wait!

[Ludociel] Because…

because I've sacrificed everything for this moment!

Including any love or friendship!

I don't expect the despicable Demon Clan to understand!

[Ludociel grunting]

[Gilthunder grunting]

[Zeldris] Now you're the only ones who remain.

Please bear with it for one minute.

I will. I won't mess up like that again.

[dramatic music playing]

Huh?

How is he able to walk like that without being affected by the Dark Nebula?

By sheer force of will?

That man is a monster.

Wait. This power…

Could it be?

[Escanor] Whether it be Meliodas, or Estarossa, and now you as well,

it would seem all you brothers just can't seem to get enough of me, eh?

Now the time has finally come.

THE ONE

[both grunting]

You defeated Meliodas?

And even if that were true,

there's no chance that he could've been fighting using his full strength.

Since he was too strong for his own good,

he had a bad habit of underestimating even the strongest enemies.

You reap what you sow, I suppose.

But if you think I'm anything like him, you're sorely mistaken.

It doesn't matter if it's a lion or a mere insect,

I'll bring it down at full strength.

[Escanor chuckling]

[Escanor] Laughable.

[Cusack grunting]

[Escanor grunting]

He was able to repel Escanor's attack even when he was in that state.

[Cusack] Impossible.

He doesn't even have a single scratch.

[Escanor grunting, yelling]

You've dropped your weapon and are begging for your life.

Then you've given up, haven't you?

[Escanor growling]

Divine Sword Escanor.

[Escanor grunting]

A hand sword?

How can a Human possess such power?

It doesn't make sense.

No doubt about it.

That's the Grace of Mael of the Four Archangels, our sworn enemy's,

Sunshine.

[Cusack] A power given to the Goddess Clan by the Supreme Deity?

But he's only a Human!

[Chandler] The Grace released from Mael when he perished,

now, after an eternity, dwells within the body of Escanor.

That's the only explanation!

[Cusack] Which can only mean one thing.

Hmm.

Hmm.

I don't understand you.

This is a fated war between the Demon and Goddess clans

that's been going on for an eternity.

What reason would a mere Human like you possibly have

to risk their life to fight in this war?

Everything I'm doing is for the sake of a friend.

Oh, Escanor, you…

[Zeldris] You call the cruel and cold-blooded Meliodas a friend?

Ridiculous!

[Escanor grunting]

There's no way he thinks the same of you!

He's not capable of real friendship!

[Escanor grunting]

[straining]

He's closing in on him.

Young Master Zeldris!

[Hendrickson grunting] What's this?

It looks like he's just succeeded in breaking through the Dark Nebula.

[Escanor grunting]

[Zeldris grunting]

[Escanor] You won't get away.

Divine Spear Escanor!

[grunting]

Young Master Zeldris!

[Escanor] Pierce through.

-[grunting] -[music stops]

[Zeldris] I'll come save you.

Please wait for me until then…

Gelda.
