In the original manga, Meliodas has grown to the point where he can fight on equal terms with the Demon King. As the story progresses, he becomes increasingly stronger. Of course, this grown-up Meliodas wasn't always so strong. While he was in the Demon Realm, Meliodas had a master named Chandler. Who exactly was Chandler, who brought out Meliodas' true potential and taught him various techniques? This time, we'll introduce you to Chandler, Meliodas' master.
What does Chandler look like?
First, let's look at Chandler's appearance. As you can see, he has the appearance of a portly old man. His beard and hair are connected, creating a lion's mane. Looking at his normal appearance, he walks with a cane, giving him a very "old man" feel. You can't really sense his strength from this appearance (lol).
How strong is Chandler in the demon world?
In the anime, the Holy War nears its end, and the battle between the Seven Deadly Sins and the Ten Commandments heats up. However, Chandler's strength is said to far surpass that of the Ten Commandments. His rank is "Supreme Demon." He literally boasts the highest level of strength among demons (the strongest in the demon world, excluding the Demon King).
Chandler's battle class is astonishing...
In The Seven Deadly Sins, strength is quantified as "battle class." For example, Zeldris, the leader of the Ten Commandments, has a battle class of 61,000. Meliodas's strongest state, "Annihilation State," is 142,000, but Chandler's battle class is even higher, at 173,000! He's the character with the strongest battle class in the series.
Chandler absolutely dotes on Meliodas!
Although Chandler's incredible strength makes him a formidable opponent, he dotes on Meliodas, who is like a disciple to him. Meliodas betrayed the Demon Clan and earned the hatred of the Ten Commandments and others, Chandler doesn't seem to care at all, calling him "Young Master Meliodas" and continuing to dote on him as he always did.
He's convinced that Elizabeth was responsible for Meliodas' betrayal.
Meliodas and Elizabeth fell in love, and Meliodas betrayed the demons. However, Chandler unilaterally believes that Elizabeth seduced Meliodas. For this reason, he strongly hates Elizabeth. Even when Meliodas appears with Elizabeth, he outwardly appears submissive to them, but he plots to eliminate Elizabeth at any opportunity.
Chandler's nickname is "The Pacifier Demon"
In addition to "Primordial Demon," Chandler also has another nickname: "The Pacifier Demon." Looking at the image, it might seem like a pretty cute nickname considering his terrifying face, but the "Pacifier Demon" actually refers to his relentless fighting style, sucking his enemies to the bone.
Who is Chandler's true identity, the "Primordial Demon"?
Chandler is often referred to as the "Original Demon." The Original Demon is a confidant of the Demon King, created by the Demon King himself to rule the Demon World. Boasting overwhelming strength even in the Demon World, the Original Demon eventually rebelled against the Demon King, aiming for his throne. However, he was defeated by the Demon King, and his body and mind were separated... These separated parts became Chandler and Cusack. As punishment for their rebellion, the two are ordered to become the prince's masters, training him to become the future Demon King. Chandler is Meliodas, and Cusack is Zeldris, a candidate for the position.
The True Form of the Original Demon God
This is what Chandler and Cusack looked like before they separated into the two original demons. Their lower bodies are four-legged, more like a lion than a horse, and their upper bodies have three arms. Incidentally, the weapons he holds in his arms are Cusack's signature swords on both sides, and Chandler's staff in his lower right hand. Their power was so overwhelming that Merlin instantly lost his will to fight.
What is the weakness of the overwhelmingly powerful "Original Demon"?
Although the Original Demon boasts overwhelming strength, he also has a limitation that could be considered a major weakness. As mentioned earlier, the original demon was originally forced to split into Chandler and Cusack as punishment for rebelling against the Demon King. Breaking this restriction and reuniting would be defying the Demon King's orders, and the two demons' bodies would soon disintegrate.
The power of the original demon! At a time of dire straits, someone appears...
The Seven Deadly Sins were in a desperate situation, with even their trusted Escanor no match for them. Then Mael, the most powerful of the Four Archangels, appeared. With the Supreme God, the Demon King, absent, this battle is arguably the ultimate showdown. Just when you thought the fierce battle would unfold, the battle was over in an instant... The Primordial Demon God was forced to retreat by Mael's "Greatest Sun."
Chandler's end was untimely...
Chandler and Cusack were thought to have their bodies destroyed after becoming the Primordial Demon Gods, but they later regain consciousness in a split state. Cusack wakes up to find Zeldris unconscious on the ground. Despite Cusack's concern, Chandler prioritizes Meliodas, telling him to "leave him alone." This angers Cusack, who then slashes him to death.
The Original Demon. Chandler Summary
So far, we've introduced Chandler, one half of the Original Demon. What do you think? When I saw that his battle power was 173,000, I thought there must be some kind of mistake (lol). The battle between the Seven Deadly Sins and the Ten Commandments is sure to be a highlight, but the upcoming battle with Chandler and the others will also be one to watch.
