[dramatic music playing]

[narrator] The Original Demon appears.

With King controlling his Chastiefol remotely,

Camelot becomes an even more severe battleground.

In the midst of the ensuing fighting and chaos,

Meliodas takes in all the Commandments.

To prevent the birth of the Demon King,

Merlin attempts to activate the Forbidden Spell.

However…

[Escanor grunting]

…Escanor is removed from the battleground,

and the situation turns desperate.

[Merlin grunting]

Ultimately, the one who saves them is Ludociel.

[Merlin chanting spell]

[Merlin] Meliodas, I beg you. Please don't wake up yet.

The Forbidden Spell will be complete in 10 minutes.

[Original Demon yelling, grunting]

[Original Demon roaring]

I'll show you the power of the leader of the Four Archangels.

[Original Demon grunting]

LIGHTNING SPREE

[Ludociel grunting]

[Original Demon grunting]

He's wounded!

Mr. Escanor wasn't even a match for this Demon. Amazing!

Hellblaze Omega. [yelling]

Ineffective.

[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 10 THE SALVATION OF THE SUN

Reuniting like this with a former enemy,

someone you faced on the battlefield,

is a strange twist of fate,

a miraculous one brought about by the Grace.

Estarossa?

You're one of the Ten Commandments.

No, wait. You're… you're Mael, right?

Of the Archangels?

Whoa! Escanor, you're a total wreck!

Looks like they got you pretty bad, huh?

Wow. You're one to talk. Take a look in the mirror, dude.

Oh. Uh, hello there. [chuckling nervously]

Being seen in this pitiful state is quite embarrassing.

Be vigorous.

[Escanor sighing]

Thank you very much, Lady Elizabeth.

I appreciate it.

But at any rate,

I'm surprised you found me after I was blown away like that.

I had assistance.

The Fairy King was watching everything.

Yes.

What the…

Is that you, King!

I'm glad to see you're still alive,

but I have to say, Camelot is in a pretty dire situation.

Oh… oh, no!

[dramatic music playing]

[inaudible]

[explosions]

[Escanor gasping]

Ah, yes.

Mr. Mael, I've heard a lot about you from your elder brother.

If I recall,

my magical power, Sunshine, was originally your Grace, was it not?

Mr. Mael, I ask that you lend me your power.

And if you do so, in exchange,

I'd be more than happy to return Sunshine to you.

Escanor's magical power is…

What?

Did he say it was Mael's Grace?

[King gasping]

[Elizabeth gasping]

I beg of you.

[Mael] I fully intend to help you all, however I can, of course.

However, I'm not able to accept the Grace.

[Escanor] But why not?

You're it's host.

The Grace disowned me long ago.

I'd been tainted with darkness.

It chose you as it's new home once I became unworthy.

To this day, I remain unqualified.

[Escanor gasping]

Please, Mr. Mael. We need your help.

I don't have enough life force left to withstand Sunshine anymore.

Understand?

If we don't have that power, we cannot defeat them.

We are running out of time!

We must hurry. Otherwise, the situation will become irreparable.

But, I…

[Escanor] If there's no way you will accept it…

[Mael gasping]

…I will simply lend it to you!

[Mael gasping]

The scrawny short mustache just made an arrogant proposal!

He sure did.

[Escanor] Hmm.

[Mael gasping]

I beg of you. We must do this.

Please save those people.

They're precious to me.

[lightning cracking]

[Zeldris grunting]

[Merlin chanting spell]

[chanting spell]

[Merlin] Only eight more minutes, then the Forbidden Spell will be complete.

[Ludociel] Hmm.

SPARKING DRIVE

[Original Demon grunting]

Hellblaze Omega! [grunting]

Laughable.

What's this?

The technique's power level suddenly increased?

[Original Demon exclaiming]

Wipe that smirk off your face!

[Ludociel screaming]

[Ludociel groaning]

I'm sorry, Merlin. I don't get it.

Something's wrong.

This Demon should have accumulated quite a bit of damage by now.

However, it seems like his output just continues to increase.

How is that possible?

Huh?

Wait a minute.

Look at that. It's not just his wounds.

Is he destroying himself?

Don't attack him any further, it's far too dangerous.

As expected. You have good judgment

What perplexes you is this,

the more I use up my life, the more my power increases.

This is my true magical power.

Crisis!

[suspenseful music playing]

And,

for acting against my punishment sentenced by the Demon King,

and returning to my original form,

my flesh will soon crumble.

Huh.

So this is a test of endurance.

Are you going to self-destruct first, or will we be the first ones to perish?

[chanting spell]

[Merlin] This isn't good.

If he continues to power up at this pace,

it will be impossible to hold out until he self-destructs.

For the birth of the new Demon King, there is nothing that I wouldn't do.

I will offer my life to bring it to fruition!

[Ludociel grunting]

Careful, Lord Ludociel!

What?

My technique, Darkness, shouldn't allow this.

What's going on?

Sunlight in the dark of night?

[Ludociel gasping]

Oh, fake night looming below,

you will hereby dissipate and vanish before my Grace!

[triumphant music playing]

The night and dark clouds, it's all vanishing.

[Ludociel gasping]

[dramatic music playing]

Estarossa, you're back.

It's good to see you.

No, wait.

You're Mael!

You've returned.

I'm so glad to see you're alive!

Dear brother…

What business do you have in this place now?

If you're awake, you should just hurry back

to the celestial realm where you belong.

I have come as I am partly responsible for bringing about the Holy War.

However, I did not come with the intention of settling things through combat.

If you promise to allow the prevention

of Meliodas' transformation into the Demon King

and withdraw the Demon Clan force,

I will not get involved in this matter at all.

I hope this works.

How dare you attempt to disrupt the birth of the new Demon King!

[Mael grunting]

Your attack is futile!

I'll swallow that thing whole!

Now, Greatest Sun.

[intense music playing]

[Original Demon yelling]

[Hawk screaming]

[Escanor gasping]

Is this the power of the originator?

Is that supposed to be some kind of threat?

You probably haven't forgotten

that any kind of attack magic will not work on me.

[Mael] Oh, I remember.

[Zeldris] Well, then

consider this my response!

[Zeldris grunting]

-[Merlin chanting spell] -[Ludociel] Hmm.

[Demons screeching]

-[Ludociel grunting] -[Merlin chanting spell]

[chanting spell]

[Hawk snorting]

[Ludociel gasping]

Be warned.

Our will and resolve will not falter!

Merlin, how much longer till the spell's complete?

Not long. Five minutes should do it.

Then, I can suspend the cocoon in time.

Like hell, you bastards!

[Zeldris yelling, grunting]

[Zeldris groaning]

[Zeldris cackling lightly]

OMINOUS NEBULA

[Mael grunting]

What's going on?

My body's getting sucked in!

-[Gowther grunting] -[Hawk yelling]

-[chanting spell] -This is really bad!

[grunting] Mael, look out!

[Mael grunting]

-[Zeldris grunting] -[Mael gasping]

[Zeldris exhaling]

[Zeldris gasping, grunting]

His sword, it just melted.

-[Merlin chanting spell] -That's incredible.

He's able to circulate the explosive power of Sunshine within himself,

not just on the surface of his body.

Th-that won't let Zeldris' magical power obstruct the attacks.

[Mael] If I hold you down for five minutes, the victory is mine.

If you defeat me within five minutes,

the victory is yours.

[intense music playing]

[Mael groaning]

What happened to you, Mael?

Is this all you've got?

He's getting attacked relentlessly.

It's true.

His physical prowess matches the Captain's.

[Escanor] Huh?

He's concentrating the Sun's power that's circulating in his body?

Helios Fair!

[Zeldris grunting]

[Zeldris groaning]

No way! He averted it!

[Zeldris] Hmm.

[Zeldris retching]

[Zeldris] This power…

[Zeldris breathing heavily]

Why must we do this?

Let's put an end to this sad and futile war once and for all.

Although it was a fabricated memory,

you and I were brothers for a moment.

[Zeldris groaning]

I'm certain we'll understand each other if we just talk.

[grunting] If Estarossa could hear you speaking like this,

he'd be laughing at that idea.

[Zeldris grunting]

Must we, Zeldris?

[Mael grunting]

[tense music playing]

[Merlin chanting spell]

[Hendrickson] Everyone, are you all right?

[Escanor] Hendy! What about you?

[chanting spell]

[Hawk] Three minutes left!

[Zeldris grunting]

[Zeldris groaning]

Two more minutes!

[Zeldris grunting]

You seem to be a bit concerned.

You're usually so calm and collected.

[Zeldris groaning]

[Mael] Are you really hoping to make Meliodas the Demon King

in order to win the Holy War?

You're willing to let your only brother live out his life in such an existence?

Say whatever you want!

[Mael grunting]

This is exactly what Meliodas wants!

And it's what I want too!

[Mael] His determination is ghastly!

That's why you should get out of my way!

Oh no! Mael!

[Mael grunting]

[Zeldris grunting]

One more minute!

[Zeldris yelling]

[straining] We must protect Merlin!

[Diane shouting]

I'm gonna need the ham-bulance!

[Hawk screaming, whimpering]

[chanting spell]

What are you…

You can't win this. Better give up, now!

Or else we might not be able to last.

[Zeldris grunting]

[King grunting]

[Zeldris] Dammit!

[screaming]

Zeldris, please…

Oh boy! Look at him flailing.

Zeldris is totally desperate now.

[blows thudding]

[Zeldris grunting]

[blows thudding]

[Zeldris grunting]

[Zeldris screaming]

[Mael] What is it that's confining you so much?

What impels you to the brink like this?

[Zeldris grunting]

[music stops]

[Mael breathing heavily]

[Zeldris straining]

[Zeldris' breath shuddering]

[Zeldris panting]

[dramatic music playing]

[Meliodas] You have my word,

The moment I become the Demon King…

[Zeldris panting, wheezing]

[Meliodas] Gelda is alive.

[bell ringing loudly]

CHRONO COFFIN COMPLETE

[Elizabeth gasping]

Was she really able to make the cocoon's time stop?

It seems so. Look there!

The bird is frozen.

Gelda…

I will save you.

Wait for me until that day comes.

Gelda…

It was short, but it felt like forever.

Hooray!

[Hawk oinking] Wee!

-The Holy War is finally over! -[all laughing]

Hooray! [laughing]

Merlin, thank you so much.

-[deep thud] -[both gasping]

Brother, I just…

No need to say anything right now.

I'm so glad. [coughing]

Me too.

-[Merlin groaning] -[all gasping]

-[Merlin groaning] -[Escanor] Miss Merlin! Are you all right?

As one would expect, the Forbidden Spell took a toll on me.

I think the Captain had better treat me

to many rounds of drinks later, if he knows what's good for him.

[Escanor laughing]

[dramatic music playing]

[Hendrickson] Huh?

Hendrickson,

I wanted to thank you for everything you did for Margaret and Gil.

How do you know of that?

Sir King was watching with his Chastiefol the whole time.

[Hendrickson] Huh?

[King grunting]

[Hendrickson grunting]

[Diane laughing]

[Hawk] Huh?

[Hawk munching]

[Hawk exclaiming]

Hey! Hurry up and turn back already!

You've got a bunch of people here who struggled for you, Meliodas!

On top of that, there's only one day left

until Elizabeth's curse gets triggered, okay?

[Elizabeth giggling]

[Elizabeth] Meliodas, as long as you're safe,

we'll find a way to sort out the rest.

[Hawk] Huh?

The inside of the cocoon is empty.

[ominous music playing]

[Elizabeth gasping]

Meliodas, is… is that really you?

[Zeldris groaning, coughing]

[Zeldris cackling]

That means it's your turn to fulfill our promise.

Do it, Demon King.
