[dramatic music playing]

[narrator] Three thousand years ago,
in order to end the Holy War,

the mage, Gowther, cast a forbidden spell.

It altered the memories
of one particular man,

along with the related memories
of anyone who knew him, or of him.

Now, 3,000 years later,

the spell has finally been broken,

and all of those fabricated memories
have begun to collapse.

And that man, whom the mage Gowther
cast the spell on, was none other than…

[groaning]

What is this?

Why does Estarossa
of the Demon Clan have wings?

[Gowther] Estarossa of the Demon Clan
never existed to begin with.

[King gasping]

[King] Gowther?

What you're seeing is his true appearance.

[groaning]

What is this? Who am I?

[straining] Why can't I…

One of the Four Archangels, Mael.

[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 5
THE TRAGIC STRIKE

No way.

You're really Mael?

[panting]

[Mael grunting]

Was…

was I having some kind of nightmare?

[groaning]

[Tarmiel] Oh my.
You look just like Ludociel, now.

[Mael] Hmm?

[Sariel] Simply copying his hairstyle
isn't going to make you any braver.

Besides, yours is curly.

[Tarmiel] Come on. Don't pick on him.

I was just saying…

[Elizabeth] I think
it suits him quite well, actually.

-[Elizabeth giggling]
-[serene music playing]

[Mael] Uh…

[Mael grunting]

[Ludociel] Just what I would expect
of my younger brother.

[Mael] One day, if I keep working hard
will I be as strong as you?

I can guarantee it.

I have no doubt you'll become a man
who even surpasses me.

[gasping]

[Mael] It was brother who taught me

killing those
of the Demon Clan is not a sin.

That I was simply carrying out justice,

saving a soul trapped in an impure cage.

That virtue passed down to me,
is why I killed countless Demons.

[Demons screaming]

[Mael] And before I knew it,
I grew to be feared by the Demon Clan

and known as the "Angel of Death,"
the strongest of the Four Archangels.

I could tell
how incredibly proud brother was of me.

And that brought me such joy.

And yet, you, Elizabeth,

you took no notice of me,

and instead chose Meliodas
of the impure Demon Clan.

I cannot express to you
how excruciating it was for me.

[grunting]

[groaning]

[Mael] What is this?

My name is Estarossa.

[gasping]

[Mael] What am I saying?

Yes. I am…

[Mael cackling]

What a hideous sight this is.

At least I've defeated you
for good, Angel of Death, Mael.

Thank you, Father!

This is because of your guidance.
I dedicate this victory to you.

[Mael grunting]

What's with this awful hair?

It's irritating.

That's much better.

Now it matches Meliodas.

[Demon King] You've done well
for yourself, Estarossa.

I've always thought of you
as my idiot son,

but I will grant you this as a reward.

[Mael] Father, could that be
the Commandment of Love,

the one brother left behind?

[laughing]

This is the greatest! I feel awesome!

So this is my new power!

This is the best!

[Mael] This is just a nightmare.
it couldn't be real.

[Mael screaming]

[grunting]

But it is.

This is real. It's not just a bad dream.

[Mael's breath shuddering]

[Mael] I can feel it in my hands.

[crying]

[Mael] The sensation
of slaughtering thousands of my brethren.

[sobbing]

How it felt to burn each and every one
of those innocent people.

Who did this?

Who would do such an awful thing?

[Gowther] It was me.

I'm the one responsible for all of it.

[Mael grunting]

[sobbing]

Go ahead. You can break me.

You're Gowther,
part of the Ten Commandments.

This is your doing.

Gowther! Do you realize
what you're saying?

Don't be ridiculous!

This is what I want.

[tense music playing]

You made me despise
the brother I deeply respected,

and then cherished
an impure Demon in his place!

You even took away my Grace
and my justice.

[Mael grunting]

[blows landing rapidly]

[Mael grunting]

A truly unforgivable sin.

[Mael yelling]

[grunting] Gowther, no!

[Gowther groaning]

You will atone with your life,

but first you must answer my question.

I'll accept nothing but the truth,
Gowther of the Ten Commandments.

Why did you do this?

Out of everyone you could have used,

why did it have to be me?

Back when the Holy War started
3,000 years ago,

the balance of power between the Demon
and Goddess clans collapsed.

This was caused by Meliodas
betraying the Demon Clan

and siding with the Goddess Clan.

So in order to correct this imbalance,

a warrior with power equal to Meliodas'

had to be forcefully pulled
over to the Demon Clan's side.

It had to be you, Mael.

The Goddess Clan lost Mael,

and the Demon Clan gained Estarossa.

That's how the balance was maintained.

But once the Holy War began,
it did not stop.

As a result,
the Goddess Clan was left with no choice

but to activate
the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.

And with that, the Holy War ended.

So I was a puzzle piece?

That's how you're justifying what you did.

Putting me through an unfathomable
amount of suffering and humiliation.

Then I'll make you suffer.

You deserve to feel at least
the same pain and helplessness as…

[grunting]

Your body is…

I know.

I am a doll made by the mage Gowther.

[arm shattering]

You're kidding.

How can I exact revenge on a lifeless doll
that can't even feel pain?

After all you've done, how much more
do you intend on insulting me?

[tense music playing]

Please, King, stop it.

I don't want to involve you in this.

The Seven Laws
of the Seven Deadly Sins, Law Number Four.

"If a member's in crisis,

we do everything
in our power to save them."

Remember?

[Mael] A friend of Gowther's?
Perfect timing.

If he can't feel any physical pain,

then I'll have to inflict emotional pain.

And even if it isn't real,

I strongly hope that you possess a heart.

[Gowther gasping] Stop!

[King] Huh?

[King grunting]

[dramatic music playing]

[King grunting]

Increase, now!

INCREASE

[King yelping]

Arrow of Salvation.

[King grunting]

[gasping] King!

The Arrow of Salvation.

It's meant to be a merciful power

that gently guides Demons to their death
without them ever feeling a thing.

However, if it hits someone
who isn't a Demon,

they'll suffer unbearable pain instead.

Poor thing.

Break me instead!

King's done nothing wrong, so why?

Yes. That's the reaction I want.

Destroying a doll wouldn't come close
to real revenge, but this…

[groaning]

True Spirit Spear Chastiefol.

Form Number One: Chastiefol.

[Mael gasping]

Spear of Judgement!

The more you resist your imminent death,

the longer
I'll get to keep tormenting Gowther.

So keep it up, Fairy.

[King grunting]

Don't you dare underestimate
the Fairy King.

[Tarmiel] That boy.
How could he do that to Mael?

Tarmiel, we should go.

Of course.
We've gotta give Mael some backup.

No! We don't.
We must save the Seven Deadly Sins!

S-seriously?

But the person responsible
for turning Mael into Estarossa

is Gowther, right?

But he's one of us,
and probably our most valuable ally.

That is correct.

It's also true
that he's lost his Grace, Sunshine.

But now that he's become aware
he's one of the Four Archangels,

he has full control and a solid grasp
of the Commandment's power.

Such a feat is only possible
for the strongest of us.

However, in the end,

it's a dark power
that conflicts with the Goddess Clan.

Every time he uses that power,
darkness devours his heart.

Then what are we going to do?

I can't… I can't fight him.

I still see him as one of us.

Because of that, we'll save him.

[Hawk grunting]

[dramatic music playing]

[Hawk] Elizabeth!

[Derieri] Elizabeth, wake up.

[Elizabeth groaning]

Derieri,

what should we do now?

He… Estarossa was Mael all this time.

How can we save him?

Is it still possible
for his heart to be salvaged?

[Derieri sighing]

[gasping]

I'm sorry, Derieri.

It was Mael
who took someone important away from you,

and I said I wanted to save him.

No. Let's do it.

Let's save him.

After all,
you did the same for us in the past.

[Elizabeth gasping]

[intense music playing]

[King straining]

Stop this. That's enough!

Just let me die here,
and it should be settled.

I'm begging.

Please! I don't wanna lose
anything precious to me ever again!

[King] Good grief.

What?

[King grunting]

[Mael grunting]

[scoffing]

If you really knew the grief
of losing someone precious to you,

then you wouldn't be so willing to die.

Get it now, Gowther?

I'm sorry.

[Gowther sniffling, crying]

This is starting to get fun.

Why don't you come at me together, next?

[Sariel] How about the four of us?

[Mael grunting]

[Mael] Sariel, Tarmiel, hello!

M-Mael.

I'm so glad
that I get the chance to see you again.

I wish I could be happier,

but it saddens me
that you're in such a state.

Why do you harbor
such hostility towards me?

Tell me, why would you defend the sinner
who took everything away from me?

Is it not our sworn duty
to eradicate the Demon Clan?

We are the four Archangels.

I-I understand where you are coming from
and how you feel,

but you must be level-headed.

Please be patient.

I'm sure you can find a way
to regain the time you lost.

You understand how I feel, do you?

That all I lost was some time?

There's no way you'd understand!
Not in a million years!

Stop, Mael! You aren't thinking straight.

You need to release the Commandment
that you absorbed.

As long as it still dwells within you,

your Grace of Sunshine
won't be able to return!

This is most unfortunate.

After losing my Grace,

the Commandment I held
became the only source of hope for me.

If you intend to take away that hope,

in exchange I will grant you this,

Despair.

[Elizabeth] You want to save Mael?

[Derieri] While it is true
that he killed Monspeet,

he didn't have a choice.

Fate had already planned
for them to fight each other.

The truth of the matter is that Monspeet
and I should have died 3,000 years ago,

but instead,
you and Meliodas came and saved us.

We never once questioned
why we did what we did.

It was our job
to fight and kill the Goddess Clan

and any others.

We always believed
it was just the way it had to be.

[Elizabeth sighing]

[Derieri] Even after you'd saved us,

we didn't even think
about trying to stop fighting.

I mocked Meliodas,
saying he was stupid for running to you.

But I was the stupid one.

And I only wish
I could have realized that sooner.

I'm never going to know
how Monspeet felt about me,

but what's important now
is how I feel about him.

What you said made me think about it.

How he was my precious partner,

and we complemented each other so well.

All I wanted was for him
to be able to keep living.

This meaningless fight needs
to be ended once and for all.

The first step of which
is to stop Mael, right?

Derieri,

it is, but the problem is that I'm unable
to take the Commandment from him

with my powers.

I have an idea.

You just rest here for now.

[Elizabeth gasping]

[Derieri sighing]

[Tarmiel grunting]

-[Mael grunting]
-[Sariel yelling]

[King grunting]

[King straining]

[King grunting]

[panting]

[Gowther] Nadja, what should I do?

I can't handle watching my friend
get hurt anymore,

but I'm not able to hurt Mael either.

I fell so helpless.

[Derieri] Gowther!

[Gowther] Derieri?

Read my thoughts right now
and transmit them.

Send them to everyone but Mael.

-[gasping]
-[Derieri] Just do it!

[all grunting]

BROADCAST

Think fast!

As if I'd let you!

[Mael grunting]

You're such an irritating fly.

[Derieri] First, the Fairy King
will provoke Mael.

Once he's distracted,

Sariel and Tarmiel
pin him from both sides.

It's irritating being ordered around
by part of the Ten Commandments, but…

If it's to save Mael,
then I'll do whatever is asked of me!

[Derieri] Then I'll come
and hammer him with attacks

until he's right on the verge of death.

Combo Star!

Gowther, you're going to find out
how to retrieve the Commandment.

[grunting]

[blows landing rapidly]

[Mael grunting]

[straining] Hurry up.

[straining] You need to endure it
just for a little bit longer, Mael.

This is all to save you. You'll see.

[Gowther] Where… where is it?

[Mael] Tarmiel,

how could you?

[Tarmiel gasping]

Where is it?

[Mael groaning] I'm always the one

who gets treated like trash.

[Tarmiel sobbing]

[Derieri] How much longer?

[Mael weakly] Please help me.

[Estarossa in foreign language] Do not
resist conversion. Ten Commandments.

Yes! Found it!

[Derieri gasping]

[Mael chuckling]

[Mael] Thank you, my brethren.

[Derieri groaning]

[all gasping]

[Tarmiel whimpering]

You should be grateful
the Angel of Death shows you mercy.

[in foreign language] Do not
resist conversion. Ten Commandments.

Derieri!

[suspenseful music playing]

[in foreign language]
O Commandment. Bend to my will.

Is he trying
to take in the fourth Commandment?

Mael!

If you take in any more Commandments,
there's no going back!

You'll lose yourself forever!

I'm begging you. Stop this!

[Mael in foreign language]
Become my power.

[all yelling]

[music stops]

[Derieri gasping]

If I remember correctly,
I failed to stop Mael.

[grunting]

[Derieri] I see.
So I ended up dying for it.

But still, this sure is a familiar sight.

It looks almost exactly like Hell.

[Monspeet] It would appear that the rumor
about Meliodas escaping Hell

with the captives from the Goddess Clan
was true after all.

[Derieri's breath shuddering]

[Derieri] Impossible.

But how?

[emotional music playing]

Oh well. He's the leader
of the Ten Commandments.

He'll do as he pleases.

Nothing we can do now.

[scoffing] Wait a minute!

But Meliodas hasn't been the leader
of the Ten Commandments in a long time!

-[Derieri] This is bullshit!
-[both] Hmm?

[Derieri] Whether he's the leader or not,
a betrayal is still a betrayal.

I'll never forgive him!

We're gonna capture him!

[Derieri] It's me.

Then this must be Hell
from 3,000 years ago.

[Monspeet] You know, Derieri,

The two of us could always try
following his example instead.

-[gasping]
-What?

This isn't the time
to be spewing nonsense!

[grunting]

Please, I was just joking around.

Unless I meant it.

[Derieri] You coming,
or you're just gonna rot here, huh?

I'm going by myself!

[wind whooshing]

[Monspeet] Hmm.

Don't get so mad. Of course, I'm coming.

[Derieri sighing]

[Monspeet] You should know by now
I'd never leave you alone.

[Derieri chuckling lightly]

[Derieri] You actually did tell me
how you felt, didn't you?

This whole time
I just didn't allow myself to realize it.

Thank you, Monspeet.

Thank you, Elizabeth.

[Elizabeth in foreign language]
Go back in time.

Return to the past.
To the time where you will face yourself.

[in English] Derieri, sleep peacefully
and leave everything else to me.

I promise
that your feelings won't go to waste.

The Holy War and Mael,
I'll find a way to stop them.

[Elizabeth whimpering]

[Elizabeth] And Meliodas,
no matter what, I will save you.
