The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse (2024) s01e22 Episode Script

1
[Percival] You're amazing, Tristan!
So, uh, what exactly just happened?
Oh, well, I [shy chuckle]
To be honest, it's a form
I'd rather that people never get
the chance to see.
But you were so awesome, you know?
Gawain, that was totally cool,
wasn't it? Huh?
[Percival] What's the matter, Gawain?
How could you? Why were you hiding
such a strong ability from me?
[Tristan] Uh, you see, it's because
Here you were, singing my praises,
calling me invincible and the strongest,
meanwhile, you secretly think
you're the stronger one, don't you?
Of course not.
I don't think that at all. Promise!
I can't even with her.
[Percival grunts] Owie, owie, owie!
Um, right! I didn't tell you.
I can only use that ability
for a limited amount of time,
so it's inconvenient.
Does it make you all worn out?
I guess that's one way you could put it.
[laughs]
In other words, I truly am
the strongest and most invincible!
-[Anne] Percival!
-Huh?
[happy gasp]
[Percival] Anne!
Nasiens!
Donny!
I thought you'd be here!
Yeah, Gawain carried me here.
Oh, Percival! You hurt?
Do you have any broken bones?
Excess bleeding? Or any internal injuries
that I should know about?
No, I'm okay.
So what exactly happened
over here, Percival?
Hold on. Don't tell me you were fighting
that gigantic snake thing?
[laughing]
[Tristan]
Our enemies were the Ten Commandments,
who were once defeated
by the Seven Deadly Sins.
Apparently, King Arthur revived them
to become his pawns.
They're his pawns? No way!
[Pelio]
To think that he would stoop so low
as to use an old threat against humanity
as his own arsenal
King Arthur has officially crossed a line
that should never have been crossed.
Four Knights of the Apocalypse,
we humbly appeal to you
on behalf of Liones and all Britannia,
lend us your aid in this fight.
Also, we Holy Knights will do our utmost
to help you in any way necessary.
You are free to command us to do anything.
-[both] Huh?
-[Percival exclaims]
Awesome! So, you guys
get to boss Holy Knights around?
It's become apparent
that's the kind of significance
The Four Knights of the Apocalypse hold.
I feel it too. Like there's suddenly
a distance between us and Percival.
[theme music]
FREEZING, BURNING HEARTS
[Jade] Looks like it's over.
[Chion] Perhaps you should go check out
what's going on up there.
What if something were to happen
to Sir Tristan?
You know he's the one
who ordered us to stay put,
so there's nothing we can do.
Arnd besides that, you're still
under suspicion of being a traitor.
Oh, don't you believe me?
We're childhood friends, aren't we?
Don't go trying to change the subject!
Why'd you try to kill
one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse?
Just answer me, Chion!
So are you innocent or guilty?
Regardless of our past,
your response won't make me forgive you.
No matter what may unfold,
no matter what it's gonna take,
even if it results in me
being suspected of treason,
I'll protect Sir Tristan.
And that's it.
But how is that a reason to target
a knight of prophecy?
[Chion] Don't you see?
What if one of them is pretending
to be a knight of prophecy,
but is actually part of a plot
to take Sir Tristan's life?
And what if
Sir Tristan's survival is in danger
because of an ally
who only drags him down?
[gasps]
Well, we should always prepare ourselves
for the worst-case scenario.
I want to minimize any risks
that may threaten Sir Tristan
as much as possible.
[Jade] Chion, you
[Chion] Do you understand now?
-You are too much.
-In what way?
If that's the case,
you should just be upfront
with Sir Tristan and tell him yourself!
Let him know that you're concerned.
I don't want him thinking
that I'm too much now, do I?
-You already know that, don't you?
-[door opens]
-Hmm?
-Wait. Keep quiet.
[footsteps approaching]
[ominous music]
Hold right there.
[Jade] I'm not familiar with that armor.
Are you perhaps a new recruit
who got lost?
Beyond this point is an area
reserved for major criminals.
No entry without permission.
[woman] I thank you for the warning.
However, what are novice apprentices
like you doing down here?
[Jade] Don't you know us?
We're the Tristan Platoon.
[woman] Tristan?
Oh, he's the Prince of Liones, isn't he?
You're not a Holy Knight of Liones,
are you?
[woman]
Former Holy Knight of Liones, actually.
Nice to meet you, my junior colleagues.
There should be a prisoner here
who's under suspicion of being a spy.
My job is to retrieve them.
By any means necessary.
A jailbreak, huh?
They're a Holy Knight of Camelot, clearly!
[both grunting]
What are you thinking,
attacking us without warning?
You have no sense
of chivalry whatsoever, do you?
Oh, we're gonna get along just fine.
That's true.
[woman] Whoever strikes first wins.
That's the fundamental principle
of combat.
[laughs]
Yes, but what's the point
if that strike is then parried?
Now, Silf, it is your turn to act. Tifof
[gasps] Tifo
What's with the stuttering, Chion?
Ti [grunts]
[Chion] What's happening?
My speech is slurring!
Hey, Chion! Get it together!
[wind gusting]
[Jade] What's going on?
Is this cold air?
[Chion]
My body temperature is dropping fast.
[Jade] Is this the bastard's magic?
This is bad.
At this rate, I'll be completely frozen,
unable to move a muscle!
[woman] You greenhorns
aren't strong enough to stop me.
Work harder in your training.
[struggled breathing]
Just who are you?
[knight] Drift Bomb!
[grunts]
That's hot!
I can move!
[knight] Stay back, you two.
Wait, Jade, is that
[knight] Our intruder is correct.
The two of you
aren't able to handle her yet.
[Chion] Vice Great Holy Knight Guila!
At 22 years old,
she became Liones' first female
Vice Great Holy Knight.
Even now, she's still considered
the top-class swordsman in the kingdom!
And they say that her composed judgment
and wit in battle
surpass even those
of the Great Holy Knight!
[Chion]
Her explosion magic is a formidable force,
that incinerated numerous members
of the demon race in the Holy War.
[grunts] She and Great Holy Knight Howzer
were once romantically involved,
but it's rumored that apparently
after only three days, they broke up!
And there he goes.
Chion's is a Holy Knight fanboy.
Dame Guila, why are you here?
His Majesty instructed me to inspect
the underground dungeons.
The commotion outside is likely
just a diversion by the enemy.
FREEZE SHIELD
[both gasp]
[sighs]
[woman] Vice Great Holy Knight, huh?
You've certainly risen in the ranks.
[Guila] Greetings, old friend,
we've reunited at last.
A shame it happened
under such circumstances.
[woman] Yes, indeed.
Shall we make up for lost time
with one last match?
Burn, Flame Rapier.
[woman] Freeze Saber.
[action music]
[Chion and Jade grunt]
Hey, Jade. Do you think maybe
the two of us should get out of here?
How can you call yourself a Holy Knight?
Careful, Dame Guila! At this rate,
the ground will collapse on top of us!
You don't need to worry!
The dungeons are protected
by a powerful ward,
precisely for situations like this one.
[woman] You can afford to look away,
can you?
[action music continues]
[explosion]
[both gasp in shock]
[woman groaning]
Don't tell me you have already forgotten
the vow that you made to yourself?
[Guila]
To carry on your older brother's legacy,
who sacrificed himself
to protect you in the Holy War,
and become a Holy Knight
even greater than he was.
So please tell me, why now
have you become a wicked
Holy Knight of Camelot?
[woman] Wicked, huh?
-Wait, isn't she
-[gasps]
Yes. Once upon a time, she was
a New Generation Holy Knight,
and teacher to Lancelot,
a knight of prophecy.
Jericho.
[Chion]
Former Royal Holy Knight of Liones,
Jericho!
She's Lancelot's teacher?
It seems my hunch turned out to be true.
I see. So he really is
one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
[Guila grunting]
[clanks]
I thought I had struck
quite the deep blow,
but your armor's sturdy.
Jericho, I don't understand.
What happened during these past few years?
[Guila] Ten years ago, you resigned
from being a Holy Knight of Liones,
and earned the complete confidence
of King Ban and Queen Elaine
as the Great Holy Knight of Benwick.
Isn't that right?
Did you fail a mission
and receive reprimands?
[Jericho] It wasn't like that!
I'm not a child!
[gasps]
What happened between you and Lancelot?
[sighs]
You were so close
and he cared deeply for you
as you did him.
Not only as his teacher, but also as
-an older sister
-That's enough out of you!
We have to cover her.
Yes, and then she'll owe both of us.
You shouldn't say stuff like that!
[both grunt]
I'd thank you not to pry any further.
There's no one who could
possibly understand how I feel.
Not even you.
Jericho.
This fight has come to an end.
We were comrades in arms.
[Jericho] I don't want to kill you.
Just stay quiet
and let me fulfill my mission.
As a true Royal Holy Knight,
I have my own duty to fulfill as well.
Damn it! What's up with this thick
wall of ice? It's not budging at all!
[both gasp]
[Jade] Dame Guila
[Jericho] Freeze Coffin.
I'm not the person I was before.
It would seem that the gap
in our abilities has become too wide.
[grunts]
-[blasts]
-[grunts]
[Jericho] Black flames?
[Guila] I will not let you pass.
Not ever.
[Jericho] This dark magic
and that wicked form,
it's as if you're of the demon race!
What on earth is that?
No one ever told me
the Vice Great Holy Knight is a demon!
This is news to me as well!
You haven't forgotten, have you?
[Guila] I mean, the New Generation Plan
carried out by the Great Holy Knight
at the time of the Holy War was dreadful.
We were apprentices at the time,
and in pursuit of power,
we drank demon blood
and harbored their essence
within our bodies.
[Jericho] But we escaped that fate.
Ban removed all those seeds personally.
Every member of the New Generation,
including myself,
should have lost
the essence of the demon race.
[Guila] You're wrong.
Gowther of the Seven Deadly Sins
used his magic to restrain
the essence within me from running wild.
So it still resides in my body
to this day.
So? Why should I care?
Killer Iceberg!
After the war, I dedicated myself
to training my mind and body,
and in the process, I learned
to awaken my demonic power at will.
However, I still have work to do
to fully gain control over its power.
Be prepared to lose a limb or two.
Maybe even three!
[Jericho grunts]
[groans]
[tense music]
[Jade] She tore through armor
with her hand? Just how strong is she?
[both gasp]
[Jericho] You touched me. Big mistake.
You're as good as dead now, Guila.
This ice
What's this? Not even
the flames of Hell will melt it?
If you persist in attempting to stop me,
I will be forced to put you down for good.
[Jade grunts]
[Chion] Salamander isn't working.
-[Lancelot] Move aside.
-[both gasp]
Farewell, old friend.
[gasps]
[both gasp]
Why did it have to be you?
Hey, we're family, aren't we?
[Jericho] Lancelot.
[Lancelot]
I've come to bring my teacher back.
Stay back! Or would you rather
the Vice Great Holy Knight die?
Let's do as she says or else
Despite that dashing entrance of yours,
you're already at a disadvantage.
The abilities of a knight of prophecy
don't amount to much it seems.
-Sir Lancelot?
-Wait, is he just going to let her die?
Nothing personal, Guila.
[both gasp]
[Jericho gasps]
Amazing! A one-hit KO!
Not quite.
[Jade] Seriously?
Hurry up and get Thetis to lift the spell.
It's only a matter of time
before she freezes to death.
And her?
[Lancelot] I'll get her.
[trembling breathing]
[captive] Is that you, Jericho?
I am unable to escape.
The magic binds are too strong.
-[zapping]
-[Jericho grunts]
Do it.
Before they make me spill
Camelot's secrets.
[running steps approaching]
I've been looking everywhere
for you for two years straight.
I need you to tell me what happened.
Why'd you suddenly disappear from Benwick?
Why'd you become a Holy Knight of Camelot?
[Lancelot]
Mom and Dad have been worried sick.
And so have I!
[Jericho] Do you remember, Lancelot?
[Jericho]
It was exactly six years ago in Benwick,
when the two of us were spirited away.
Do you recall the three years it took us
to escape from the world beyond?
The place where we were trapped together?
Yeah. I just wanted
my dad to give me props,
but you ended up
getting dragged in there with me.
On top of that,
I was really a scared little kid.
All I did was whine and complain to you
the whole time we were there.
[Lancelot]
I did nothing but drag you down.
And I was such a hopeless brat.
You got sick of babysitting me,
and that's why you left Benwick.
It's true I had trouble with you.
Taking care of a prince
who always whined and complained
wasn't easy.
And yet, I know I've never been happier.
Those years I spent with you
are memories I will always treasure.
Hang on
I thought you left because you hated me?
I could never
Lancelot,
I've always loved you.
It's the same for me!
And not just me, but to Mom and Dad too,
you are family, Jericho!
[gasps]
I knew it was hopeless.
When I looked into your eyes, Lancelot,
I couldn't hold back my true feelings.
Teacher, you
The truth is
that I've fallen madly in love
with you.
[Lancelot gasps]
[Jericho] I'm in love with you, Lancelot.
I love you as a man.
I will never forget
those three magical years
we've spent together.
Lancelot
Your tough-guy act,
your face whenever you sulked,
and that innocent demeanor
it's all so dear to me.
You truly have grown so much.
I won't ever forget
the decision you made for me.
I sincerely loved you,
from the bottom of my heart.
But as dear as you are to me,
I can't stay here looking at you.
He's waiting for me on the other side.
I developed these feelings
during our three years
adventuring together
[Jericho]
For a child who isn't even half my age.
I fell in love with someone
I considered my younger brother.
It's sickening, right?
The thought of one day acting
on these feelings terrified me.
It was too much.
I couldn't be with you anymore.
If that's really the reason
you disappeared,
then why now, why tell me all this?
[sighs sadly]
This could be the last time we meet.
I might not get another chance.
[Lancelot gasps]
[Jericho] Please, tell Ban and Elaine
I'm sorry for everything as well.
You don't get to drop a bomb
on me like that!
What does Camelot
have to do with any of this?
What could possibly be there?
And what do you mean "waiting for you"?
Who exactly?
King Arthur granted me the world
I longed for so desperately.
[Jericho]
A happy world with just my Lancelot,
where he loves me, and me alone.
[gasps]
I cannot afford to lose that paradise.
And in order to protect it
I will fight you,
with every fiber of my being, Lancelot!
What are you saying?
Teacher, can't you see
that Arthur is deceiving you?
[Jericho] Gate of the everlasting kingdom,
open before me.
Accept my guidance.
No, don't go!
[yelps]
[grunts]
[angry grunt]
[shouts] Arthur!
[closing theme music]
Doesn't look like
Lancelot is coming back, does it?
So let's head to the castle as well.
If we are going to the castle, I wanna eat
the most delicious pudding that you have.
Prepare a big bucketful for me.
[all] Excuse me?
They did say our wish is their command,
did they not?
[Holy Knight 1] We'll-We'll get
the castle's cooks to prepare it.
Gotta jump on that, Percy!
Command them too!
-Um, let's see now
-Please don't ask him to do that.
What do I want? I want yummy pudding too!
Oh, come on!
[laughing]
Pudding isn't a bad idea,
but first, we need to do something
about all your torn clothing.
[Holy Knight 2] In that case,
let us go to the castle's tailor at once.
[all gasp]
[ominous music]
It's impossible.
'Cause we all witnessed
that they were defeated.
[worried gasp]
ROYAL HOLY KNIGHTS VS MELA-GALLAND
