"The Seven Deadly Sins" has been serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine for about seven and a half years, and finally came to a magnificent conclusion in March 2020! It is a classic fantasy work that depicts the exploits of the strongest and most terrible order of knights, "The Seven Deadly Sins". In this article, we will introduce the highlights of the fourth season of the anime, "The Seven Deadly Sins: Dragon's Judgement," scheduled to start airing in January 2021, with spoilers! Please be careful if you have not read the original work.
Highlight 1: King awakens after the death of his friend!
The members of the Seven Deadly Sins were in a desperate situation when their magical powers were sealed by Mael's magic, which had taken in the commandments and gone out of control. At that time, Oslo, who had been traveling with King, risked his life to protect them from Mael's attack. Diane caught the charred Oslo, but he was already dead... Then, Diane diverted Mael's attack to the ground, causing the foothold to collapse. King, who still cannot use his magic, falls helplessly. The death of Oslo, his best friend Helbram who chose to disappear for them, and the faces of his loved ones flash through King's mind like a slideshow. At that moment, he remembers that he promised to always love Diane, and he breaks Mael's curse and awakens!
Highlight 2: Elaine is revived by Ban's new ability!
Ban's lover and King's sister, Elaine, was killed by the Demons several years ago. However, due to the "Law of Restoration of Grudges" of Melascula of the Ten Commandments, Elaine's regrets were amplified and she was revived in an unstable state. While Ban was in purgatory, Elaine fought in the Holy War as the Fairy Princess, but she finally seemed to run out of strength... At that moment, Ban, who had returned from purgatory, appeared before Elaine. Then, using the "Gift" he had acquired in purgatory, Ban shared his power of immortality with Elaine, bringing her back to life! The scene where the two share a passionate embrace and kiss, fulfilling his promise to "take you away someday," is impossible to watch without crying.
Highlight 3: Meliodas and Elizabeth's reunion
Following Ban and Elaine, Meliodas and Elizabeth are reunited for the first time in a long time. Meliodas had lost his love for Elizabeth, but he regained his affection when Ban found out about Meliodas' feelings in Purgatory. However, his body was taken over by the Demon King, and he continued to fight the Demon King in the spiritual world. Wanting to somehow save Meliodas, the members of the Seven Deadly Sins use Gowther's spiritual attack to contact the spiritual world. There, Meliodas and Elizabeth are reunited. Elizabeth tells Meliodas that she loves him, and the other members also tell him how they feel about him. It's a highlight that is typical of "The Seven Deadly Sins," where you can feel the love and bonds between the characters.
Highlight 4: A souvenir for Hawk
Meliodas and Ban meet Hawk's older brother, Wild, who looks like a boar, in Purgatory. Wild has been searching for Purgatory ever since Hawk disappeared. That's why he was so happy to hear about Hawk from Meliodas and the others. Wild sang them a song that Hawk used to sing to him when he was little. As they were fighting the Demon King who was blocking the exit from Purgatory, Wild made a final suicidal attack. Meliodas and Ban were sucked towards the present world, and although they tried to reach out to Wild, he was unable to reach him. At that moment, the two decided that when they returned to the present world, they would sing Wild's song to Hawk. After expelling the Demon King from Meliodas' body and everything had settled down, Meliodas and Ban sang the song to Hawk. When Hawk heard it, he couldn't stop crying, saying, "What the hell is that lame song?"
Highlight ⑤ Escanor's Final Battle
Escanor's body could no longer withstand the load of the grace of the "Sun" of the Four Archangels Mael, and if he used that power one more time, he would lose his life. Even though Escanor knew this, he wanted to fight alongside the members of the Seven Deadly Sins who were risking their lives to fight against the Demon King. However, this does not mean throwing away his life, but rather "risking his life" with his friends. Meliodas also tries to stop Escanor at first, but when he sees Escanor's strong feelings, he wipes away his tears and decides to fight together with him. This flow from Escanor's past story is enough to make you cry just by watching this! And after the battle with the Demon King, Merlin kisses Escanor, whose body begins to burn! Escanor turns to ashes and rises into the sky, wishing Merlin happiness.
