Get away from that person!
I'm heading over right now to save Elizabeth!
I'm gonna die...
- Did you say something? - I can't make out anything...
Our only objective is to get Elizabeth back.
Keep the fighting to a minimum!
Was it you who brought me here?
Super Roast Illusion!
All righty! Let's go!
Sorry to disappoint you, Gowther!
Looks like I'm the one who made it back!
I owe you one, Gilthunder.
"Now the battle has just gotten easier..." Is that what you're thinking?
Now that it's not a melee...
I can do whatever I want - did you forget?
No way am I gonna let anyone die!
Bye-bye!
Seven hundred years ago, that promise I made with you...
Let me fulfill it now.
During the time when King lived peacefully with Diane in the past...
he had no memory of his best friend, Helbram.
Deceived by humans, Helbram had bolted from the fairies' forest.
As if possessed by the voices of his slaughtered friends,
he'd been on a murderous rampage against humans.
In order to eliminate his best friend's suffering,
King takes his life.
Meanwhile, Meliodas is confronting the Grand Master Hendrickson.
Now, then... now, then... now, then!
I'm taking Elizabeth back!
It's been a long time, Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Are you alone?
Yeah. I seem to have lost the others along the way.
And yet you still think you can handle me?
You're as confident as ever.
Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins?
Then this person is that...
Where's Elizabeth? Give her back to me right now!
Unfortunately, that's not possible.
This is a tale of ancient times,
when the human and non-human worlds had not yet split.
Where there were nations, there were Holy Knights;
where there were Holy Knights, there were no nations.
But was it this structure
that robbed Holy Knights of their freedom and sense of justice?
That is why they are legends.
Holy Knights who had surpassed the Holy Knights.
They are, in other words, the Seven Deadly Sins!
EPISODE 20: THE COURAGE CHARM
What's the matter, Little Gil? Down for the count already?
I'm never gonna make it.
I know I'll never become as strong as Father and you, Meliodas.
Look, you... first you've got to lose the negative attitude.
Your eyes can see through evil. Your mouth utters the truth.
Your heart is filled with justice, and your sword shall crush evil.
To stand by what you believe is right till the end...
isn't that the most important thing for a knight?
Margaret!
It has nothing to do with Meliodas or your father.
You're you.
Someday, you're going to be the kindest, most powerful knight of all, Gil.
That's what I believe.
Okay.
Somebody's gonna be hen-pecked...
This will do.
What happened when you were fighting Gowther?
Grand Master Dreyfus?
He made me see my past self.
As a sin I'll never escape, as long as I live.
Sin?
You go back to the others.
I'll be all right.
I'd like to be alone for a while.
Very well.
He certainly is pathetic... Grand Master Dreyfus.
Giving up after a mere psychological attack...
Lord Hendrickson is different in that regard.
He's the one who should be king in the world to come.
World to come?
Oh, please, Gil!
The utopia that Lord Hendrickson is striving for.
There, it won't matter if you're a king or a slave.
Only the truly powerful will survive,
and you can obtain anything your heart desires.
Can one survive a battle against the demon race?
What's wrong?
You're not acting like your usual brash self.
All I did was speak the truth.
Don't worry.
If you're stricken with the fear of death, I'll be happy to fight the demon race.
I'll be counting on you, then.
Oh, really, Gil!
Did you transfer Princess Elizabeth from the dungeon?
Yes, to a place where absolutely no one can touch her.
By the way, when are you going to start the ritual?
What's this?
I see you're up against some intriguing opponents.
No worries. I'm going to send in my sweet knight.
A thundercloud?
My bad, bro! That helped me!
Hey, it's nothing!
Would you mind giving me a hand a little longer?
Sure! My pleasure!
My name is Arthur Pendragon.
I've known about you for years.
Well, how about we chat after we're done here?
Right!
All right, wanna pick up where we left off, Little Gil?
I'm only going to do what I must do... nothing more.
I better warn you, I'm not gonna hold back!
Unbelievable striking speed!
Not only that, but neither is going all-out!
I could say the same about us.
Right, King Arthur?
Lightning Beasts Chase!
LIGHTNING BEASTS CHASE
Full Counter!
Time lag... So I can't deflect them all at once?
It was clos—
- Oh, crap! - Lightning King Iron Hammer!
LIGHTNING KING IRON HAMMER
Th-That thunderbolt and that killer thrust...
he stopped them with his fingers?
Not only that, but... what's that change in Meliodas?
It's his demonic power emerging.
Demonic power?
No need to explain to someone about to die.
Burn to the ground!
Hot! Hot! Not those black flames again.
Last time, my attempt was thwarted, but this time, turn to ashes.
Not good! They won't go out!
Y-You saved me! Thanks! Did you finish off the others?
I owe you big time, but I don't need any more help!
You fool...
Thunder again. How many times is that now?
There's no question it's Gilthunder,
but he's got to be fighting the captain, right?
Yeah, I guess.
I'm not sensing Ban.
Hey, hey... you!
Where'd he go?
Wh-Where am I?
Big Sister Margaret... Hawk? Answer me!
Elizabeth?
Elizabeth, is that you?
Father!
Elizabeth!
Father!
Thank goodness you're safe.
I never thought I'd be holding you like this again.
Please, don't strain yourself!
You'd better have your touching reunion now while you can.
Because this will be the last time.
Your beloved Deadly Sin will be killed by my sweet knight any minute now.
Deadly Sin?
Sir Meliodas came for me!
I wonder how long you can keep your pretty eyes shining like that?
Full Counter!
Thunderclap Strike!
How would you parry this?
Good job. Keep that up!
What's wrong?
Are you leaving on another expedition?
Yeah, under your dad's orders.
And you'll be away for a while...
Yeah, could be.
Then please take me with you!
Hey, hey, what are you talking about?
There's a chance it could take years, you know!
But if you leave me the way I am now, this is the strongest I'll ever become!
And then I... I won't...
Chill out.
Ouch!
What are you supposed to do?
To protect Margaret.
That's right.
Are you going to abandon your duty to go with me?
Well, no...
All you need to think about is what you have to do.
But the way I am now...
Are you worried? Then I'm going to teach you a charm.
A charm?
Here I am!
Little Gil.
You're sure you're not gonna regret going all-out against me?
Your eyes can see through evil. Your mouth utters the truth.
Your heart is filled with justice, and your sword shall crush evil.
I haven't forgotten the "Knight's Code" that I heard that day.
The Seven Deadly Sins turned their backs on that code, and betrayed the country.
And I'll say it right now.
I am now more powerful than any of the Seven Deadly Sins.
All right.
Let's end this, huh?
So you dodged that one?
I tried to buy you a little more time.
I'm a disgrace.
Don't worry about it! You rest up!
I'm coming at you with all I've got.
We're going to finish him off. Come join us.
My, that makes me happy!
They just invited me, too!
As a special favor, I'll convey your words of farewell to your Deadly Sin.
Sir Meliodas won't lose!
Well, keep praying, then!
Cradled in the warmth of your daddy's chest!
Freeze Coffin!
FREEZE COFFIN
- It's over. - What?
Lightning King Iron Hammer!
Full Counter!
Bend Room!
Can you believe those shockwaves, even this far away?
It seems like the captain is taking on three opponents at once.
King, go to the captain, will you?
But I can't leave you here.
But...
He'll be all right.
It looks like he didn't dodge that attack on purpose.
Is the captain waiting for something?
Listen, Gil...
You were always so gentle and kind.
As a child, you promised me.
I swear upon my honor as a knight to protect you for the rest of my life.
Not knowing that it would become a curse that filled you with agony.
For ten years, you lied to yourself for my sake, wounded your own heart.
And now you're about to hurt the one you admire the most.
Please... I'm begging you, release yourself from me.
Please don't betray your hero!
POWER AMPLIFY
He's not turning into a demon or even fighting back!
He's got something up his sleeve. But we're going to stop him first.
Gilthunder! Please stop now!
1000 Divine Cuts!
Lightning King Sword!
Enchant Hell Blaze!
DESTROY FOUR ELEMENTS
Destroy Four Elements!
I see it!
Die!
When you're in pain and suffering, and there's no one to lean on,
just say these words.
Okay.
I am now more powerful than any of the Seven Deadly Sins.
I am... the Seven Deadly Sins.
I am now more powerful than any of the Seven Deadly Sins.
And I'll say it right now.
I am now more powerful than any of the Seven Deadly Sins.
You just released me from a curse that bound me for years.
My hero, Meliodas!
Gilthunder! You've betrayed me!
I haven't betrayed you.
Since I was never one of you from the start!
G-Gil!
Curse you!
Meliodas, please let me handle the rest.
The moment I can exact revenge on the man who killed my father...
you don't know how long I've waited for this!
Absorb all my rage!
Margaret...
Gil...
Gil!
But really, you totally saved me! Thanks!
No, it was all thanks to her.
How... When did you realize?
About Little Gil? When we met up in the Forest of White Dreams.
Wh-What did you say?
When he uttered that charm in the Forest of White Dreams,
I knew his every move was being watched, and someone had been taken hostage.
You knew everything from the start? That's a lie!
You were going all-out!
Little Gil's laying his life on the line for the woman he loves.
And for me to lay my life on the line, that's being a good bro.
Impossible! For it to end like this... No way am I gonna let this happen!
Where are we?
All right, which world would you like to die in?
You lame excuse for a mage!
That habit of losing your head in a rage...
how many times have I told you to kick it? My disciple, Vivian.
That boar symbol on your neck...
The scarlet boar!
You're... you're...
I never thought she'd be with you, Arthur!
The Seven Deadly Sins' Boar Sin Merlin!
Looks like this is another basement.
That awful masked woman!
And what are the owner and employees doing during a crisis like this?
What a useless bunch!
Now that it's come to this, as the captain of the Order of Scraps Disposal,
I'm just gonna have to rescue Elizabeth myself!
Oh, crap! Somebody's coming!
