Original subtitles

[dramatic music playing]

[narrator] Mael, who's no longer under the guise of Estarossa,

escaped from the Commandments' control

and joined the Seven Deadly Sins to end the Holy War.

Meanwhile, in Camelot,

Chandler and Cusack return to their combined form of the Original Demon,

standing in the way of Merlin and the others.

And in Purgatory,

Meliodas and the others, planning to escape to the present world,

are about to begin their battle with the Demon King.

[Wild screaming]

[Wild grunting]

Oh, no! Wild!

[Wild grunting]

[Wild groaning]

[intense music playing]

[Wild straining]

[oinking]

[Ban gasping]

Don't turn your back on him!

[Ban grunting]

[Meliodas grunting]

[Demon King] I told you this already,

I have no intention of ever letting you return.

-[Ban grunting] -[Meliodas] Thanks, Ban!

Physical Hunt!

This is it!

[Ban gasping]

What?

My power's getting absorbed instead?

What's the matter?

[Meliodas grunting]

-Are you okay, or what? -[Ban] Yeah!

[Meliodas grunting]

[both grunting]

[Demon King] So is this how you regard the Demon King?

Your efforts are futile.

As long as I am standing guard,

it is impossible for anyone to pass through the gate.

Sorry, but you're not the one who decides that.

[Demon King] That's where you're wrong.

Full Counter!

Did he seriously just repel that attack?

[Ban] He wasn't able to repel it, but that doesn't seem to matter.

Somehow he just absorbed the magic.

Captain, what the heck is his magical power?

None of our attacks are doing a damn thing against him.

It's the same as his title,

but it has another name.

It's called "Demon King,"

or "The Ruler."

[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 8 THE DOORWAY TO HOPE

Zig-Zag Wild!

Spinning Wild!

[both grunting]

[Wild straining, grunting]

[Demon King] You just never learn.

-[Wild yelling] -[Ban] Wild!

[intense music playing]

[Meliodas and Wild yelling]

[Ban yelling]

[Meliodas groaning] Ow.

Where's that bastard Demon King?

Nowhere near us, that's for sure.

Well, that's true.

Technically, the only reason he's nowhere near us is because he blew us away.

[Meliodas sighing]

[Ban] Hmm?

You know what?

Maybe going back to the other world isn't something I'm supposed to do.

Why would you say something like that?

You don't strike me as someone who would just give up.

I won't ever stop trying until the day I see my brother, Mr. Meliodas.

Don't get me wrong.

I absolutely want you two to make it back,

but it's a different story for me..

It's Elizabeth.

Because she's under a curse,

she always has to die right in front of me.

That's why she'd be better off if… if I didn't…

Shut up!

Curse has already been triggered, dumbass.

And do you actually think that princess of yours

would agree to something as tragic as that?

Become mopey and fainthearted, and it's all over

[Meliodas grunting]

You and me are gonna get out of here and save our lovers, no matter what.

No matter what!

[serene music playing]

[Ban] You're gonna break the princess' curse.

As for me, I'm gonna bring Elaine back to life.

Let's keep things simple, okay?

[Meliodas grunting]

[Meliodas muffled] I only said it because it's not that simple.

But, actually, you might be exactly right.

Above all,

every one of the Seven Deadly Sins and Hawk are fighting.

Risking their lives for Elizabeth and me.

[Demon King] All three of you utterly disgust me.

How can you still not understand?

No matter how many times you attempt to take my powers,

you'll only end up feeding me more power.

No matter how many times you attempt to pierce through me,

you won't be able to hurt me in the slightest.

All that you do is futile!

[Ban grunting]

[Wild and Meliodas grunting]

[Meliodas screaming]

[Meliodas yelping]

[intense music playing]

Revenge Counter!

[both grunting]

[Demon King] Your techniques are merely imitations of Chandler's attacks.

If you hope to stand a chance against me,

you'll need to release your intrinsic powers.

[Meliodas gasping]

[Demon King] But that chance appears to be an impossibility

because you are in fear.

[explosions]

[Ban] How many defeats does that make?

[Meliodas] I haven't bothered counting.

[Ban sighing] Fair enough.

By my count, around 6,093 losses and no wins.

You were really keeping track this whole time?

It's been 60 years since we started challenging the Demon King.

I hate to say it,

but we're no closer to his level now than we were before.

Sixty years here maybe, but not in our realm.

It's only been about an hour out there.

Don't worry. We'll just keep trying.

[gasping] Wild, it looks like you're wounded.

Ah, it's nothing. Hardly even counts as a scratch.

[Ban] You got it defending the Captain, right?

Yeah. Doesn't look too bad to me.

Ow!

[Ban grunting]

Hey, wait a second. Maybe I should try it out.

[Wild gasping]

Holy crap! My wound healed!

[chuckling] Seriously?

[dramatic music playing]

[Meliodas] That healing thing was pretty neat, Ban.

How long have you been able to do it?

[Ban] Over the past 60 years,

we've tried to take away the Demon King's power and strength again and again,

but he's absorbed ours instead, right?

Thanks to that, I got accustomed to the feeling of being robbed.

No. That's not the right word. More like "giving."

So I just thought I'd give it a try.

[Wild] Mr. Ban, is your body okay giving away your power?

[Ban] Of course, it is! After all, I'm immortal.

With this power, Elaine can be…

Either way, our worst terror continues to be "The Ruler."

How in the world are we ever supposed to get the better of him?

[Wild whining]

Anybody have any good ideas?

[Ban] Hmm.

[Meliodas grunting]

[Ban] I don't know.

I mean, that snatch power of his doesn't weaken him, it just makes him stronger.

On top of that, he can absorb your Full Counter.

That thing is supposed to repel any attack magic.

Yeah. All the usual attacks don't hurt him in the slightest.

He really is ruling the natural way of things.

Could it be?

[Ban] Hmm?

[Meliodas] Listen up, both of you.

Huh?

[Demon King] I'm so disgusted I can't even sigh.

Is this really your plan?

Coming here simply to get your powers taken?

[scoffing]

If you're gonna take them from us,

I'll just give it to you right from the start.

[Demon King] Hmm?

-[Meliodas] I knew it. -[Wild gasping]

Demon King,

the true nature of this irrational magic of yours, The Ruler, is

Reversing!

Any attacks or attempts to weaken you get converted into healing and protection.

[Demon King] Bravo. Bravo.

But, Meliodas, no.

My son, it matters not.

Whatever your emotions,

I will never allow you to return to the present world.

We'll see about that!

[all panting]

Give it up!

Let us through already, will you?

[Demon King] Huh?

[Demon King groaning]

-Ban! -Just hurry up and find the gate!

I want you to partake of my limitless life.

[Ban shouting]

Sure enough, it's there, Mr. Meliodas!

The gate to the present world!

-[Ban screaming] -[both] Huh?

[Ban] The power's returned? [grunting]

[Demon King cackling]

[Ban] What the hell's going on?

[Demon King] Oh, nothing special. I only ceased the magical powers.

You went out of your way to heal my damage.

I wanted to show my gratitude.

[Ban groaning]

You bastard!

Do not underestimate me!

[Demon King] Hmm.

[Ban] Captain!

Get going. I'll keep him at bay.

[grunting] No. You won't.

There's no point in any of this if you don't come back with me!

All three of us can't escape at once.

He's way too thorough to allow it.

Dammit. You better come back.

[Meliodas] I will.

[intense music playing]

[Demon King] I'll never forgive you.

You're nothing but a disappointment who disobeys and defies his father!

[Meliodas] Why call yourself that now?

I've never recognized you as my father.

What I don't get

is why you keep clinging to this disappointment so much.

[Meliodas grunting]

[Demon King] Why? Because you are The Destroyer.

[Meliodas straining, grunting]

[Meliodas] You're The Destroyer!

I'm not interested in being the Demon King.

I just wanna put an end to the useless conflict!

[Meliodas grunting]

[Demon King] Dangerous as expected.

[Ban grunting]

What are you doing, Mr. Ban? Let's hurry to the gate!

[Ban] I can't just run off and leave the Captain here!

[Demon King] You, Meliodas,

are the most suitable successor to my throne.

[Meliodas groaning]

[Demon King] The only unnecessary thing are those emotions which plague you.

Is he…?

Captain…

It was well worth enduring everything for eight million years.

What do you mean?

To find out that Mild is alive,

and to hear about what he grew into,

it's all thanks to the two of you.

[Meliodas straining]

[Demon King] Hmm.

[Meliodas gasping]

[Demon King] Strange beast? You?

What is that form?

No. What is that power?

Let me show you!

Now, Wild Full Throttle!

By surging the life force lying within me into an explosion,

I've summoned the ultimate destruction technique!

Stop, you idiot!

-[Wild] Huh? -[Meliodas] Are you trying to die?

-[Wild grunting] -[Meliodas grunting]

[Ban gasping, grunting]

[Demon King] Hmm?

You won't escape!

[Demon King yelling]

[Wild] It seems like this is it.

[both] Oh no! Wild!

[music stops]

[Wild] It's a shame that I won't be able to reunite with my brother.

But a brother he doesn't even know existed isn't what he needs right now.

He needs friends like them.

Without a doubt.

Mr. Meliodas. Mr. Ban, take care!

[Ban grunting] I'm having trouble moving my body.

Hey, Captain! We're gonna get separated!

Yeah. He's right.

We're gonna get pulled in separate directions.

You'll be pulled to Hawk since you came to Purgatory through him,

and I'll go to the cocoon I became after taking in the Commandment.

Hey, Ban.

Don't you think it would've been great if Wild and Hawk could have met?

Yeah.

I think I'll sing that song for Master when I get back home.

♪ Mi, Mi, Mi, Mild, oh ♪

♪ It's time to sleep ♪

-♪ Know that I adore you ♪ -Hey. That would be nice.

-[Ban] ♪ My little bro ♪ -I wonder if Hawk will remember it.

I bet he'll be shocked and look at you all confused and slack-jawed.

[Ban] Maybe.

But don't you think that would make Wild happy?

[Meliodas] No doubt.

[Meliodas gasping]

Captain!

[intense music playing]

[Demon King cackling] I've got you, now!

I already told you,

I won't let you return to the present world.

Dammit! You bastard!

[Meliodas groaning]

[Ban] Captain, I'll be right back to save you!

Hold out until I do, no matter what!

[Meliodas] Don't worry about me!

I'll come back on my own, no matter what!

Just leave me here and go back!

You gotta save the others!

Fine, dammit!

Yeah. I believe you, partner.

[Demon King cackling]

[Demon King] What a pitiful show of courage.

How do you plan on escaping from my hands?

-[slicing] -[Demon King] Huh?

[dramatic music playing]

[Demon King] What?

You've harnessed the power to destroy my flesh?

Meliodas!

Could it be that…

[Meliodas] It was you who said that I was in fear.

You were exactly right.

Now that I've awakened to this power,

even if I did go back, I'd no longer be able to stay there.

But I've decided.

[Demon King] Stop!

You can't… you can't go back.

You'll ruin everything!

[Meliodas laughing]

That's the first time I've ever seen your face look so flustered.

[Demon King] Come back!

[wind blowing softly]

It's coming from the direction of Camelot.

Yeah.

I sense Merlin and Escanor's powers too.

Let's hurry, then.

I presume that something terrible is happening over there.

It might be best if we link up with Ma for now.

[Hawk screaming]

-Hawk, what's wrong? What's that light? -I have no idea!

[Hawk yelling]

[upbeat music playing]

[Elizabeth gasping]

No way.

Oh, I can't…

I can't believe you came back to us.

My sister's eye for people really outdid itself with you, Ban.

[breathing deeply]

[exhaling]

[Ban] Elaine, Captain, I made it back.

Sir Ban! I'm so relieved to see you safe and sound!

We've all been so worried.

What about Meliodas?

Don't you worry, Miss Princess.

The captain will come back, no matter what.

He's thought only of you.

[crying]

Now, listen up!

Go straight to where the captain is, quickly!

[Hawk] What about you?

Well, there's something I need to take care of first.

I'll meet up with you guys afterward.

[explosions]

[ominous music playing]

[Demons cackling]

[soldiers screaming]

[Matrona grunting]

[horse neighing]

[gasping] Guila! [grunting]

[Howzer groaning]

[Elaine panting]

Elaine, retreat!

[explosions]

You should rest and give your body a chance to recover.

If you strain yourself further…

Thanks, but it's okay, Gerheade.

This life is transient.

After all, it was gained with Vengeful Soul Revival.

[intense music playing]

Fang of the Great Earth.

FANG OF THE GREAT EARTH

[Matrona grunting]

[Matrona grunting]

Now, Tempest Falls!

Oh, wow!

Amazing, Lady Elaine!

[Gerheade] Elaine!

Listen.

Ban is somewhere in Purgatory fighting frantically for his friend.

That's why I'm going to keep fighting too.

As the Holy Maiden of the Fairy King's Forest.

Or else,

I'll be far too ashamed to…

to see him.

[Gerheade] Elaine…

[Elaine] Ban, I wanted to see you one last time.

[knuckles cracking]

[Demons grunting]

[Howzer gasping]

[gasping] Is that…

[dramatic music playing]

[Ban] Sorry I took so long.

[Elaine gasping]

[Elaine whimpering]

[Ban] Hmm.

Ban, you came back to me.

Is this happening? We're…

Am I dreaming? It's you, right?

It's me.

My wings and my body, they reverted.

I guess I overused my powers.

[Elaine sighing]

But I'm so happy.

I wanted you to hold me close like this

in your arms, till my last breath.

[fairies gasping]

-[fairies] Lady Elaine! -[Puora] Lady Elaine!

But this isn't the end.

Gift.

This isn't the last time.

I'll hold you in my arms again.

I feel Lord Ban's tremendous life force,

and it's entering Elaine's body.

Don't do this, Ban.

If you use up the power of the Fountain of Youth,

then you won't be immortal anymore.

[Ban] Hmm.

Ban, are you really okay with this?

You're a mortal now.

The immortality you once possessed is gone.

[Ban] That doesn't matter to me.

As long as I can fulfill the promise I made to you.

To steal you away someday, no matter what.

Elaine, now we're together for the rest of our lives.
