Bingo!
A drop on the tongue adds 10 years to your life, one gulp adds 100!
Drink it all and you'll live forever!
So that's the Fountain of Youth, the treasure guarded by a saint!
Anyone who drinks the water that's flowing from that cup gains eternal life, huh?
Talk about blowing something way out of proportion.
I don't see any treasure-guarding saint around here.
You lost, little girl?
I'm guarding the spring.
From bandits like you.
Get up, you slackers!
Time for breakfast!
Good morning, Elizabeth! Are you feeling better?
Thank you, I'm feeling much— Um, good morning.
I'll have you untied in a jiffy.
Be gentle.
This is a tale of ancient times,
when the human and non-human worlds had not yet split.
Long ago, the Holy Knights joined with the three other races
and drove the demons into the shadows.
With the passage of time, this war, known as the Holy War,
has faded from the memory of men.
But the Holy War is crying out once again.
It demands the eradication of the Seven Deadly Sins!
EPISODE 7: A TOUCHING REUNION
Um, Hawk?
About Sir Meliodas, perhaps you could tie him up a bit looser next time?
He can't get a good night's sleep like that.
It defeats the whole purpose if he's not tied up tight!
He's gonna get all gropey if he's in the same bed as you!
Precautions are needed!
But I—
If you think of it as foreplay, it's actually pretty pleasant.
Foreplay?
Maybe I'll have you tie me up starting next time.
You sleaze!
What's that? Tie who up? Hawk?
No, not me!
Captain, I need a drink.
Isn't it a little early?
Would you like some breakfast, Sir Ban?
You expect me to eat the Captain's lousy cooking?
Make it yourself, then!
Thanks, Captain!
We're heading for the Necropolis. We'll look for King there.
Didn't you say that Fatty was dead?
It's our only lead, so let's go check it out.
What sort of place is the Necropolis?
Beats me. All I've heard is that it exists.
If it's called the Necropolis, it's gotta be haunted, right?
Gloomy even in the middle of the day, with graves all in a row?
There... won't be any bugs, will there?
If King is really there, will he be alive?
Hawk, cut it out!
Ghosts, huh?
That was a close call...
So that's the saint who guards the pond, huh?
It's okay now. I've dealt with the bandit.
A drop on the tongue adds 10 years to your life,
one gulp adds 100!
Drink it all and you'll live forever!
Ow...
A drop on the tongue adds 10—
Knock it off, damn it!
You took the words out of my mouth! How are you even alive?
No human should be able to survive a fall from this height!
Oh, I got caught on a branch one time,
I fell into a clump of trees another time...
What? Why would the forest be trying to save a human?
Like I care!
I still can't believe a little thing like you
is the guardian of the secret treasure.
Now it's my turn to get serious.
You kill and you steal... You humans all think the same.
A magical ability!
This doesn't smell like booze...
- Oh well, bottoms up! - D-Don't!
Here's to my health!
What the hell?
Hey, let go of me!
I won't try to make you humans understand.
But if the Fountain of Youth disappears, this entire forest will wither and die!
Just give up and leave this place!
All right, fine.
What do you mean, "fine"? How dare you lie to me?
Honest!
The fool doesn't realize that I can read the minds of humans...
Bummer...
Ale made from this place's wild berries is some seriously good stuff!
It sucks that I won't be able to try it.
- He really... - I came here for nothing.
Who in the world are you?
Can't you tell? I'm a bandit.
I go by Bandit Ban. How about you, kiddo?
I'm not a child.
My name is Elaine.
Oops...
We're here!
This is the Necropolis?
How can they call a run-down hamlet like this a city?
Rumor has it that this is the place that's closest to the Necropolis.
We'll start by gathering intel on King and the Necropolis.
We also need money to feed ourselves.
Okay, let's get ready for business.
You're seriously gonna run the bar, Captain?
He's seriously cute when he's working!
You guys are gonna work, too!
Start attracting us some customers, jumbo billboard girl!
Me?
And you cook up some tasty grub, jailbird cook!
Me?
Are you sure you didn't mean "smelly"?
I want to be sarcastic and say it's just skillfully made,
but it's genuinely tasty.
Hey, hang on.
To work, then! Put your backs into it, people!
Please give me a job, too!
My injuries aren't bothering me anymore.
Just don't push yourself, okay?
Okay!
Captain, you made me the billboard girl! I'm so, so happy!
Thank you, Captain! I won't let you down!
I know you'll do great.
That reminds me, Ban! The pantry's in the back!
Huh?
That jerk!
He bolted?
That's not even funny, Captain.
Anyway, what kind of intel does he expect us to get
in a gloomy dump like this?
We've got delicious drinks,
and a super-cute billboard girl will welcome you!
Come to the Hot Boar tavern!
That's Boar Hat, dummy.
You'll get plenty of goodies on the house!
Man, this place is seriously run down.
Elai—
Sorry, my mistake.
Yeah, it couldn't be her...
Sir Meliodas.
What sort of person is Sir King?
Let me think...
In a word, he's kinda like the Seven Deadly Sins' mascot.
Our pet, I guess?
Hey, no pets allowed!
What's the big idea, keeping livestock in a dining establishment?
Pot, meet kettle.
Oh, speaking of King, there was this one time
when Ban was totally into collecting plushies.
Plushies?
Wow, that's adorable!
This is heartbreaking!
Give it a rest.
How could you abduct plushies from all over the kingdom?
Each of these is packed full
of their owners' precious memories and feelings!
You're... You're so mean!
- They're packed full of cotton or rags. - Stop that!
- King sobbed away all night. - There, there...
Then, around morning, as Ban was starting to snore happily...
Mommy, my bear came back!
Welcome back, Marcello!
His burst seam is fixed!
A fairy must have brought him back!
Sir King seems a little odd, but he sounds like a kindhearted man.
Ban, on the other trotter, is an even bigger jerk than I thought.
I bet they were always fighting.
What makes you say that?
King and Ban were always joined at the hip.
Maybe it was to clean up Ban's messes, though...
But when it's all said and done, they were a good team, you know?
There aren't any customers... Not a single one is coming...
Hey. Hey, missy.
You awake?
Get your hands off Ellen!
What are you doing to my sister?
Hey, kid. If you're her big brother, shouldn't you be making sure she's fed?
Shut up! Get away from my sister!
I said, are you making sure she's fed? I'll take her away from you.
Brother! This man was tending to me!
B-But I thought...
I'm sorry! How can I atone for my sin?
Atone? Atone for what, kid?
But I—
The wound!
Let me tell you something.
Genuine sins can't be atoned for.
That's very observant of you.
Hey, Ban.
Isn't this a touching reunion after all this time?
What's the matter, cat got your tongue?
Who... are you?
Who am I? Have you forgotten even that?
I don't remember you at all. Sorry.
I suppose it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that you...
are Ban the Fox Sin, the Sin of Greed!
Or maybe you prefer this name:
Undead Ban.
I don't like your tone, kid. What do you know about me?
I know your sin.
Even if you don't remember me,
you remember your own sin, don't you?
The terrible, terrible sin you committed.
To satiate your greed and gain eternal life,
you killed the saint of the Fountain of Youth!
Yo, brats. You're cramping my style.
- Let's go, Ellen! - But he—
I'm right, aren't I?
I'll ask you again, who the hell are you?
Still, I'm glad that you came.
You walked right into my trap.
You won't escape!
BUMBLE BEE
Bumble bee!
Sorry, it doesn't ring a bell!
I wish she could see this.
I want her to see the wicked man who killed her
pathetically begging for mercy as he writhes in agony.
For the last time...
who the hell are—
Hey!
C'mon, Captain! Butt out!
What's the big idea, skipping out of work?
What's the big idea?
That pipsqueak I've never seen before picked a fight with me!
He ruined my sweet threads!
Hey, what's all the ruckus over here?
- King! - King!
On what planet is that King?
Well... Maybe he lost a little weight?
A little? And that ain't even the issue!
King, we've been looking for you! I'm so happy to see you again!
All right, eat.
- Gosh, that smells delicious! - Right?
But we don't have any—
If you won't eat it, I'll give it all to the pig.
We're eating!
It's great!
Let me have a taste!
Thanks so much, mister!
Quid pro quo time.
In return, tell me about this "Necropolis" place.
Uh, Ban? We found King.
There's no more reason to go there, right?
No way in hell is that King!
- Trust me, it's really him! - It's a fake.
- It's really him. - It's a fake!
You guys also want to go to the Necropolis?
- "Also"? - "Also"?
That boy from earlier came with questions a few times, too.
He said he wanted to reach the Necropolis no matter what.
King said that?
He said he'd been looking for it a long time.
It's here in this dump?
No, but it's nearby.
What do you mean?
The entrance to the Necropolis is in the hamlet.
But it's not a place you can reach just because you want to.
Riddles aren't my thing.
Oh. I get it. So what you're saying...
is that it's like this!
I don't think that's it.
Is it a grave that's normally hidden or something?
It's not a grave.
They say the Necropolis is a land where people go when they die.
It's the other side, you mean?
How can we reach such a place?
How can I reach such a plate?
Have you ever been there?
Of course not! All that stuff is just superstition!
"Precious memories shared with the dead will guide you to the capital."
The man next door always used to say that.
I'm sorry, that's all I know.
That tip paid for your meal and then some.
Thanks, Elaine.
Um, my name is Ellen...
Oops, sorry, Ellen.
Go on, you haven't cleaned your plate.
'Kay!
Why do you suppose Sir King wants to go to the Necropolis?
That's a very good question.
I guess we'll learn the answer when we get there.
I wonder why King ran away from me?
I'm so stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Stupid!
Now Diane's going to think I ran away when I saw her!
Who could blame me, though?
Hearing something like that after seeing her again after so long...
Something like that...
I'm so glad to see you again!
Gosh, Diane's as cute as ever!
What am I gonna do if this tips her off that I like her?
What am I gonna do?
Plus, it's strange how the Captain hasn't changed these past 10 years.
Too strange.
Still, they were looking well.
I can't let those two be deceived by that fiend!
Ban... I'll make you pay!
Even if this Necropolis place exists,
there's no way to get there.
If it's the afterlife, you just have to die, right?
Are you an idiot?
"Precious memories shared with the dead," huh?
I'd love to meet my mother!
She died when I was too young to remember her.
Then that rules her out.
I guess you're right. I don't have any shared memories.
Ban...
what is your purpose in seeking the Fountain of Youth?
No real reason.
If you live a lousy life long enough,
maybe something good will come your way eventually.
That's all.
What if you gain eternal life and nothing good ever comes your way?
Ban, that's so not your style!
What the hell?
Elizabeth! Look at all these cute flowers!
What kind of flowers are these?
Who cares about a bunch of stupid flowers?
You can eat and eat these things and they never fill you up!
Pretty...
Guys!
Be careful!
Mister! Lady!
Captain...
Yeah...
No doubt about it,
this is the Necropolis.
Memories belonging to one of them opened the path here?
Do you think it was my wish to meet my mother?
No, maybe it was my powerful longing for all the scraps that passed me by.
My mind was a blank!
Mine, too!
- Ban! - Hold it!
King?
- That's King? - What the hell?
- Captain, what do we do? - I guess we run after 'em for now.
- You're not getting away! - You won't get away!
Ellen, did you see that?
Yeah, those people went away.
Well, well. It would seem that the Necropolis actually exists.
