Seven Deadly Sins (Nanatsu no Taizai) (2014) s03e23 Episode Script

The Hero Rises!

1 CRUEL SUN Thanks to Escanor, the threat posed by Estarossa and Zeldris has been evaded.
But with the Ten Commandments leading the Demon race's attack, it's only a matter of time before the royal capital Liones falls.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth is saved from an attack by the Commandment Derieri by You might find this hard to believe, but I went to see your past self.
You've been watching over me all this time.
I'm sure I'm sure that explains it.
Why my heart is filled with nostalgia and tenderness every time I look at you.
Thank you, Meliodas.
And also, welcome back.
But is your body really okay? If you mean my hearts, look! All back to normal! Want to check for a heartbeat? On closer inspection, isn't that the new uniform? Hmm, hmm, hmm! Both the waistline and the tights leave nothing to be desired! And of course it's white on the inside! Elizabeth, don't get the wrong idea.
All I'm doing here is a wardrobe check, okay? Touch me more.
I-It's not what you think, Meliodas! I don't mean that in a weird way! I-It's just that the warmth of your skin makes me so happy, and Um Okay? O-Oh dear.
I can't believe I just Yo, Zaratras! I'm surprised that we're both alive to meet again in this world.
That's my line.
But you're still the same monster as ever, I see.
Thank you, Hawk! This is a tale of ancient times, when the human and non-human worlds had not yet split.
The 3,000-year-old seal has been broken.
The Demon race's elite troops, the Ten Commandments, now awakened, are about to bury Britannia in blood and fear.
Rising up to counter this threat is a group of great sinners, a legendary order of knights.
They are called the Seven Deadly Sins.
EPISODE 23: THE HERO RISES! Lady Mother Pig! Jump! Or we're gonna get caught up in it! Hawk! You lousy traitorous bastard! If it's at all possible, I'd rather not kill you guys.
Ash Dragon! Derieri What did you say? While I somehow draw his attention, take all the available magical power and blast it at us.
I'll be fine.
Since I'm tougher than he is.
At least, that's what the old me would've said.
Full Counter! You bastard, get down here! How dare you kill Sir Denzel! Allow me to join you.
That body belongs to my friend.
Today's the day you're giving it back.
Hendrickson.
You fool, this is what I get for letting you live? Howzer.
Slader.
Let's focus on protecting His Majesty and the others.
Right.
That's All Humans inside the castle have been captured! Zeal! Jericho What are you planning to do? Grayroad is considered to be of the queen caste, one of the rarest of Demons.
She implants her eggs into living creatures lacking magical power, which turns them into her young.
Loyal soldiers to protect their queen, that is! We have to save them right away! By the way, exposing the content of those eggs to a set external temperature triggers rapid growth.
Wh-What a nightmare! This is how the larvae of the countless Demons you killed outside were born! Sir Ban! You don't need to tell me.
Fox Hunt! What you tried to snatch was the bulbs.
Newly laid eggs are no bigger than a sesame seed.
Out of my way, Mr.
Hero.
I'll pound them to death! Don't do it, Dogedo! Boost Hammer! Don't take it personally, okay? Doge-- Wh-What's going on? I am the Commandment of Pacifism.
Anyone who commits murder before me shall have all of their time taken from them.
Now then, make your choice.
Will you die killing these Demons as they hatch, or be killed by these Demons after they're hatched? Dammit! Gil, don't worry about me.
Death doesn't frighten me, as long as I'm with you.
-Margaret, I too-- -No! I won't let Gil die! You it can't be! Vivian? Don't hold this against me! Vivian, sto-- Gil! That was the smart thing to do! But as you're talking, more eggs are hatching.
Freezing Field! They stopped hatching! Gustaf, don't overdo it! My little sister I can't let her die in a place like this.
I can't! Jericho.
I know you have it in you to become a great Holy Knight.
Gustaf! It's a shame that, even after risking his life, that was all he could do, huh? D-Dammit! What's this? This devastating magical power? Everyone, I'm sorry I arrived so late.
No way! Impossible! All right, Ten Commandments, as of this moment, you're going to be my guinea pigs! Lady Merlin! Geez, you're late! Well, I was a bit absorbed in my experiments.
This Human is extremely dangerous.
Breakable Bug! Bugs? Merlin! Stop! Exterminate Ray! And now, you're finished! Anyone who defies my Commandment of Pacifism will be robbed of their time and annihilated.
No way! Robbed of their time? In other words, you'd literally rob them of their remaining lifespan? That's an interesting Commandment.
But sorry, it has no effect on me.
Why isn't there any change? Experiments are time-consuming, you know.
But even as I engage in them, I find new interests, new phenomena in the world, and rather than quench my thirst for knowledge, I only thirst for more.
But human life is finite.
It's impossible to know everything in the world.
Can you think of anything more unjust or frustrating? Let me assert there isn't! And then it occurred to me.
If that's the case, all I have to do is stop my own time.
Stop time? Twisting the laws of the world requires a massive amount of magical power.
And to continue to sustain that is impossible! Infinity.
That's my magical power.
No matter how difficult it may be to sustain a spell, all I need to do is activate it once.
And unless I disable it myself, it will be sustained.
What's wrong, everyone? You look like you want to say something.
That's cheating.
Still! That doesn't explain how you freed yourself from Galand's petrification! Commandments aren't just mere magical powers.
They're curses that we, the Ten Commandments, received from the Demon King! They can't be broken! I know it sounds silly, but since it was so long ago, I'd forgotten my true identity.
Daughter of Belialuin.
Surely you Ten Commandments are at least somewhat familiar with that name? -Be-- -Daughter of Belialuin? Why are they panicking? It can't be.
Y-You're spouting nonsense! My true name is Th-Th-There can be no doubt! What did you just say? Apologies.
It's impossible for Humans to pronounce.
Now then, we've chatted long enough, let's pick up where we left off.
Not good.
Not that way! Separate! I-It broke apart! Hold on now.
I can't let my precious guinea pigs escape, can I? Endless Whirl! Grayroad! Escape impossible.
I'm being sucked in towards the center.
Th-The castle! Father! Please save Zeal and the others! Oh, that's right.
Hey! Dreyfus is gone! We'll go after him! Slader, you guard His Majesty and the others! Right.
What about Griamore? I thought I told you that today's the day you're giving Dreyfus back.
Overly persistent men aren't popular with the ladies.
Acid Tower! Have you forgotten? That magical power doesn't work on me! Silken Skewer! Unnatural soul Vanish! Purge! Flowing Strike! This isn't worth my time.
Just die already.
Purge of the Thunder God! Gilthunder? No, it's not him.
This magical power is No way No way! Let me fight by your side Hendrickson.
You were by our hands Right now, our first priority is to save Dreyfus.
Okay, Hendy? Yes, sir.
Then let's go! Yes, sir! Sword of the Thunder God! Just what I'd expect of a former grand master! However! I wonder if you two will be able to kill Dreyfus? If only I could find a way to catch him off guard, and use Purge on him I tried that, but was unable to exorcise him.
I see.
So we can't defeat the Ten Commandments with our Purge attack.
In that case, our only option is to end a life.
Y-You don't mean Dreyfus! I'm against it! Keep your eyes on him! -Piercing Stab! -Flash of the Thunder God! What's the matter? You have no way of saving your brother, so you're just going to dodge? Looks like you're out of options! What's this? That's A pig? It seems my luck hasn't run out just yet.
What are you doing? If I offer up all of my remaining life in exchange, I can expel you out of my younger brother! Don't! Purge! So bright Curse you! So this is the true form of the Ten Commandment, Fraudrin? Dreyfus! Zaratras! You fool! Even if you expel me in exchange for your life, all I have to do is reenter Dreyfus's body! I won't let you! If you're going to possess anyone, it should be me! I have no use for the body of a pitiful Human like you.
Above all else, Dreyfus and I were good partners for ten years! Is that how you really feel? What? In order to get revenge on Sir Meliodas for defeating you, you chose to use Dreyfus's body as your vessel until your powers were restored.
But Sir Meliodas is dead! You no longer have any attachment to Dreyfus's body, do you? Father Father! Griamore You have no right to say that name.
Dreyfus! Impossible How could you do that with only a mere Human's magical power? There's no wavering or conflict in my convictions.
Therefore, there's nothing I cannot pierce! You shouldn't underestimate Humans that much! Star Breaker! Dreyfus! Father! Griamore! It's you, Father! For the day to come where I can embrace you like this again Griamore! Why do you look like such a small child? A lot happened while he was in training.
I'll tell you about it later.
Welcome back, Dreyfus! Hendrickson I've made you worry all this time.
Well, it's mutual, don't you think? You really are powerful, Dreyfus.
I should've had you take over for me a lot sooner.
Brother! Oh man.
There's no more strength in my body.
Why were you so reckless? Don't worry about it.
After all, it's as if I gained this life so that I could save you two.
No! If only I'd been stronger, I never would've killed you, and I never would've caused innocent people to suffer! You're wrong about that.
I'm the one to blame for everything! Brother! If you two keep that up, I'll never pass on! If you're going to feel regret, then you have to accept it all and live on.
That's how adults take responsibility, right? Also I have a message.
Tell Gilthunder that I'll always be watching over him.
Brother, I promise to deliver your message to Gilthunder.
Please, rest in peace.
That's a promise that will never be kept.
N-No way! I was sure I annihilated him with my Star Breaker! Actually, to be precise, you pierced me.
As expected of my partner.
I admit that in my previous form I might've perished.
What do you think? This is my true magical power.
Full-size! Are you okay? Yes.
You saved my life.
What is that ridiculously huge monster? That's the true form of the Demon who was possessing Dreyfus.
Dreyfus! Sorry, Hendrickson! Both of us are fine! Griamore! So, does that mean he's back to being grand master? Yes.
Seriously? That's great! I'm going to crush you all beneath my heel! What was that? What was that? Meliodas? Why are you alive? No way! Sir Meliodas! You're alive? So you returned? Captain! Be crushed! Be crushed! Be crushed! Be crushed! Be crushed! Be crushed! Not bad.
But in my current state, I won't be outdone by you.
Let's pick up where we left off 16 years ago and see it to the end! Amazing! They're evenly matched! That's odd.
The captain's Power Level, 30,000.
Compared to his previous numbers, that's Oh, so that's what's going on! You did well against my clone.
C-Clone? The Sacred Treasure Lostvayne's special ability, Physical Clone.
Therefore, the captain's current Power Level is 60,000.
What's the matter? Say something, Fraudrin.
When the look on your face changes from hope to despair is the ultimate pleasure for me! Sir Meliodas? No is that really Sir Meliodas? Subtitle translation by Yuki Urakawa
