Original subtitles

The fourth of the Seven Deadly Sins, King the Grizzly Sin, was alive.

You walked right into my trap.

Filled with intense hatred, King doggedly pursued Ban.

Ban, meanwhile, was pursuing something himself.

And, in addition to that, a woman was tailing the entire group.

It would seem that the Necropolis actually exists.

Um, who is this?

Are you a Holy Knight?

-Stop-- -If it's not too much trouble,

would you mind showing me how to reach the Necropolis?

Like we would ever tell you!

Brother... can't breathe...

Please, tell me.

"Precious memories shared with the dead will guide you to the capital."

I don't quite follow you.

How would we know about the land where the dead go?

The dead? Ah, I see. Thank you.

Don't!

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 8 THE FEARSOME PURSUER

-Ban! -King!

-Sir Ban! -King!

Jeez, where had those two run off to?

Sir Meliodas?

We're not alone.

Um, I don't see anyone here but us...

There isn't even a single ghost here, either!

Actually, I'd be terrified if there were.

There's no point in hanging around here. L-let's look for those two!

G-good idea!

Does he think he can escape from me?

You again, fake King.

Fake King?

No, I really am King.

-I'm a busy man! Shoo! -I don't think so.

Is that so?

You haven't changed one bit since the old days.

As long as it feeds your greed, you couldn't care less if it hurts others.

You're really King?

Didn't I say so?

Then I don't have to hold back!

You used to backhand me like that all the time, back in the day.

So, you've appeared before us...

no, before me to settle our old scores?

Feeling this way after being reunited with you is the last thing I wanted.

Ten years ago, driven from the capital on suspicion of plotting a coup,

I had nowhere else to go, so I returned to my homeland.

But what welcomed me

was the sight of my homeland burnt beyond recognition.

When I was in the Sins with you, I never gave it much thought.

As to why a human like you was unkillable.

I never suspected

that you had killed the saint and drunk from the fountain.

Hang on, how do you know about that woman?

The saint you killed, Elaine, was my little sister!

Oh, now I get it. You want to kill me to avenge her?

Sorry, but that's not going to happen. I can't be killed!

You know that my Sacred Treasure has a variety of configurations, right?

Oh, right.

You don't remember anything that doesn't interest you.

Spirit Spear Chastiefol; third configuration!

Fossilization!

Come again?

It fossilizes.

I've been waiting for this moment.

Are you watching, Elaine?

I wish it had been me that Ban came to steal,

instead of the Fountain of Youth...

Should I, then?

You said you were going to get something to eat!

I found some lingonberries right over there.

Now, let's get started!

Stop teasing me!

I'm serious, trust me!

I never seem to hit it off with humans.

Besides, you hear me out and take me seriously.

I can't! I'm flattered,

but I must protect the Fountain of Youth. This forest is--

Hey, I've got that covered.

I'll find your brother and bring him back here.

You told me once, remember?

About your brother who left hundreds of years ago.

If he comes back, you'll be free and clear!

Ban, hold on!

What... just happened?

What the hell is that?

A Demon.

A Demon?

Only one thing can set the Fairy King's Forest ablaze,

and that's the flames of Purgatory.

But I thought they were defeated by the Goddesses in the Ancient War

and locked away!

The Fountain of Youth!

Don't worry, I saved it in time.

Good. You take that and get out of here.

Come with me! The Demon hasn't noticed us yet!

I'm going to take it out while its back is turned!

Now!

See? One shot.

No, Ban!

A Demon has more than one--

If you have a deathbed confession, I'll hear it.

It won't mean that I forgive you, though.

What's so funny?

Don't act tough. I know this must be driving you crazy.

Goodbye, Ban.

They're nowhere...

Maybe they've gone back to the real world?

Who's that?

How do you do, Meliodas the Dragon Sin? Diane the Serpent Sin?

My name is Holy Knight Guila.

-How did you get here? -By dying.

Did she just say she came here by dying?

She sure did.

Doesn't that mean this lady is bad news?

Yep. Seriously bad news.

Hawk, take Elizabeth and get as far away from here as possible.

Will do! Hop on, Elizabeth!

O-okay...

Now, watch this pig fly!

Try to stay safe, you two!

That Holy Knight named Guila is really dangerous!

My instincts are telling me!

No, I felt it, too.

You did?

We should be far enough away by now.

Um, I think we might have gone too far.

-Ouch... -Sir Meliodas!

What are you still doing here? Go farther!

Are you kidding me?

-Captain! -You weigh a ton!

That's so mean! What a tactless thing to say!

This is hardly the time!

Diane the Serpent Sin.

Possibly the strongest of the Sins in terms of physical strength.

And possesses "Creation", a magical ability unique to Giants,

who have a close bond with nature.

I had been looking forward to seeing it in person.

What do you think?

I'm disappointed, frankly.

Your magic didn't live up to the stories.

Let's see about this, then!

Sand Whirl!

We can also turn minerals into sand. Just so you know.

Oh, I see. That's most informative.

Meliodas, legendary Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins...

Your might does indeed seem to be the real thing!

It's odd, though. Why don't you use your sword?

You think your bare hands are enough to defeat me?

-Fine, I'll show you. -The Captain has her now!

You beat her, Captain!

Ah, I see...

So, that is your magical ability, Full Counter.

It reflects any offensive magic aimed at you

back at the caster and at more than double the power.

Fascinating. In short, the more powerful your opponent,

the more fearsome its effect becomes.

Its one weakness, however,

is that you are unable to initiate an attack.

You minx...

So, you've been purposely throttling your ability.

Come now, you two. Try harder.

Make this worth my while.

No words of repentance even at the end, huh?

That's so like you, Ban.

Then suffer alone for all eternity here in the Necropolis,

without dying or ever finding peace.

That's a fitting fate for you who took everything from Elaine.

What's that? Is Ban doing that?

No, Ban should be powerless in that state.

It can't be...

Elaine? Is that you?

What? The petrification was broken?

Hey, Elaine.

I-it can't be...

Ban, what happened? How did you get that scar?

Don't you watch over us in the afterlife?

Th-that voice, it's really her!

Elaine! It's me! Do you recognize me?

Please! Show yourself to me, too!

Let him see you.

The Necropolis is a place

where the living and the dead can see each other,

but only when bound by strong emotions.

I knew it. You're still mad, aren't you?

That I abandoned you...

That I turned my back on everything and walked away.

This feeling... A Holy Knight?

Wait, Ban!

Why did you come?

No real reason. I just came here to say one thing to you.

That one day, I will come to steal you.

Ban! What more can you take from her?

Thank you, Ban.

Why?

No, Ban!

A Demon has more than one--

Elai--

Ban... here...

Drink the water... please...

You drink it...

You dumbass.

Hang in there. I'll finish this in a jiffy.

Let's play a little game.

Let's see who gets turned into mincemeat first!

I don't understand...

How can you forgive Ban, a man who took everything from you?

I endured 700 years in solitude after you abandoned our country.

But he wiped away those 700 years of loneliness in just seven days.

When Ban found out you were my brother,

he deliberately antagonized you and let you spear him.

He isn't the man that you think he is.

E-Elaine!

Come now, please try harder.

With paltry attacks like that,

you can't stop my own magical ability, Explosion.

Sorry about that! I'll have to stop you right there.

-Ban! -Ban the Fox Sin!

Please let go of my rapier.

I take offense at that, lady! I'm not touching anything!

Oh, I see. This is your magical ability.

Snatch!

Very well, I'll give you something that's more appropriate for a sneak thief.

I hear you're indestructible,

but that should keep even you out of the fight.

Now, now.

Captain!

Even if your Full Counter deflects my attacks,

it poses no problem if you can't anticipate their direction and timing.

Ow...

-Are you okay? -Why the happy look?

You alive in there, Captain?

I'm impressed. Your indestructibility exceeds my expectations.

You better believe it. You can't beat what you can't kill.

Indestructible and undefeatable are not the same.

If I'm determined to finish you off, I have several ways.

This lady gives me the willies.

So, she's right?

You can chat later, you two!

Why can I see--

If you can see me now,

it's because I want you to understand Ban.

I want you to save Ban.

Elaine...

That's it, I'm done... I can't run any farther...

A girl and a pig?

Elaine!

Um... You're Sir King, right?

-Who are you? -I'm Elizabeth.

It's a long story, but I'm traveling with Sir Meliodas and the others.

-I'm the captain-- -With the Captain?

Yes. A Holy Knight has appeared and is fighting Sir Meliodas and Diane!

Is Sir Ban with you?

I'm sure she'll be after Sir Ban as well! I have to warn him!

Let me guess, you want me to save them?

-Your spear... -My spear?

Run far away! I'll borrow this spear!

Can you fight?

I'm always being rescued by Sir Meliodas and Diane!

But I want to be useful to them for a change!

Elizabeth... Oh, what the hell!

Let's wipe the grin off that chick's face!

I agree, Hawk!

We're coming, Sir Meliodas!

We're coming to the rescue, Diane!

Sir Ban...

-We did it! We pulled it out! -Easy as pork pie!

And what have we here?

Even if it wasn't at full power,

I'm impressed you weren't sent flying

when you bore the full brunt of my Explosion.

The hardiness of you Giants really is something else.

Captain, are you okay?

Thanks, Diane!

If you were going to take the hit, shield me too.

-Nope. -That's how it is?

Captain, I... I think I'm done for. Send me off with a kiss!

You rest here for a bit.

Okay, you and I will see to this.

This is the legendary order?

I suppose legends really are nothing more than fantasy, in the end.

What?

Hey there, Ban.

Take this...

It's the last seed of this forest...

Plant it somewhere, okay?

Do it yourself, lady!

The forest... it knew...

that you would protect it.

Who gives a damn about the forest! Hold on, Elaine!

I was really happy...

when you said you would take me.

Please, Ban? Say it to me again, but properly this time.

You got it, Elaine. One day, I'll--

Let me finish, damn it...
