Now, last episode was amazing with the great animation and pacing, so it was expected for this episode to not be as great since last episode is hard to follow up. Especially how weird some of the animation was but considering how fantastic it was last week it’s to be expected. After the epic battle between the Ten Commandments, Meliodas is stuck at the mercy of Estarossa who seems to be taking great pleasure in crushing him under his foot. It’s honestly really hard to listen to him screaming bloody murder because it sounds like he’s actually crying out in pain and agony. While Estarossa has Meliodas under control, Melascula asks Gloxinia to heal her body. Thankfully for her, Gloxinia had one drop left and afterwards won’t be able to use it for a while. Which is understandable considering he used it A LOT with his and Drole’s fight against Meliodas. I’m surprised he hadn’t run out till now. We then find out that Meliodas used to be the head of the Ten Commandments as Estarossa wonders outloud of when he’ll betray the Seven Deadly Sins just like he did them. The image of the old Ten Commandments is pretty interesting. Especially since there are a few we recognize such as Galland, Melascula and Monspeet, along with Derieri and Estarossa who look to be a lot younger than they are now (when Estarossa actually looks like Meliodas lol). And then we see a few of them we don’t recognize,along with Gowther being cut off at the side.Apparently Meliodas was a powerhouse to behold as he even put the goddess clan on the ropes. He was also believed to be the next Demon King with his strength and all of his clansmen believed in his power. Estarossa even wanted to be like him. However, Estarossa reveals that Meliodas then betrayed them and killed two of the Ten Commandments with Gloxinia and Drole to take their place afterwards. However, the biggest shocker was that it was actually Meliodas who started the Holy War 3000 years ago.Now, this part was probably my favorite part in the episode. After Melascula decides to devour Meliodas’ soul because of the trouble his friends gave her, Ban shows up after asking to be sent to the battlefield. He uses this ability I have never seen him use called Zero Sign and I had no idea what this even was so I had to look it up. Apparently it’s a technique his ability Snatch can do by suppressing his presence, essentially making him invisible and undetectable to anyone around to sneak up on them. It honestly feels like that ability kinda got pulled out of nowhere, but considering his ability is to rob people of their strength, who says he can’t rob them of their senses? Anyways, he gets past the Ten Commandments without them realizing he’s there until he breaks Melascula’s neck and destroys the rest of her hearts in the most epic fashion.
