The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse (七つの大罪 黙示録の四騎士)

Once on a far-off island dubbed the Finger of God,

lived an old man and his beloved grandson, Percival.

But one day that boy's father, Ironside, suddenly appeared,

and their days of happiness were swiftly brought to an end.

With his grandfather's memory in his heart, Percival's journey began.

During his travels,

he heard about the prophecy of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse,

and learned that he was one of those four knights himself.

Also,

he was told that following his destiny would help him discover the whereabouts

of this Knight of Chaos, Ironside, the man who murdered his grandfather.

While meeting new friends, and fighting those who pursued him,

Percival grew as a person, and eventually arrived in

the Kingdom of Liones.

There,

he finally came face-to-face with King Meliodas and the other Knights of

the Apocalypse.

However, the enemy reached Liones as well.

At last,

Ironside's master and the one who had been sending numerous pursuers after

the Knights of Prophecy, Arthur Pendragon, appeared in front of them.

Who are the "Four Knights of the Apocalypse"?

And how will they "destroy the world"?

One thing was clear, there would soon be a significant

shift in Percival's destiny.

People of Liones… I ask that you all take a moment

and lend an ear to my words.

My name's King Arthur Pendragon. I reign over the kingdom of Camelot,

a southern land once destroyed in the so-called "Holy War",

by the Seven Deadly Sins, and their Demon King.

He's so loud- like his voice is echoing in my head…!

And now, you, the people of Liones, stand at the same crossroads Camelot once

faced.

One of destruction or survival.

The peace you all have enjoyed up until now has merely been temporary.

That has been made perfectly clear by the cruel history of Britannia.

The Holy Wars 3,000 years ago… and the one sixteen years ago…

The endless, bloody struggle between so many races…

And no one can deny, we of the human race paid the

price for the sake of others.

I know there are those among you who lost precious family members or friends in

the Holy War… who still harbor the pain of loss

in their hearts. -People who,

even sixteen years later, still carry wounds that can't be easily

healed… -Yeah, like Dad… and Mom, too…

And back during the war… my little sister died protecting

me from a demon's attack.

Once a life is taken away, they are gone forever. Just as those who survive, shall

be haunted by their wounds until they die.

So, what the hell are you getting at?!

We gotta keep their memories close and live on for those we lost!

But what if you could see your beloved family once again?

If you had a chance to confess your feelings… 'your love,

to precious ones before they died?

What if you could turn your impossible wishes into reality?

There's no way that could ever happen!

-Do you think we're stupid or something?! -You're just a damn swindler!

No. Such things do very much exist here.

A land where its denizens feel no suffering or sadness.

A safe haven where everyone is free to live without fear of horrific threats

or disasters. That land is my eternal kingdom, Camelot.

-Is this some sort of dream…? -Wait… there's my wife!

-If we go to Camelot, can we truly… -I'll see my child again?!

Grandpa…?

My life's mission is the salvation of humanity.

I won't force it on anyone, of course. But please, give it some deep thought.

Your heroes, the Seven Deadly Sins, saved your kingdom. Yet in the end,

they're all of different races.

It's plain as day, that they will betray you

and all of humanity.

As expected from a Knight of Prophecy!

Resisting my King's Authority to launch an attack of your own…

That pathetic speech was nothing but lies… It makes me sick!

So young and foolish.

Full Counter!

Well, well, well… Who woulda thought you and I'd be crossing swords like this after

-all these years? -Your majesty!

"Majesty"?

Wait--that little dude?!

My apologies, but this is the conclusion

that I've come to.

If mankind has any hope of ever obtaining true peace,

all other races of this world must be wiped

out of existence for good. Meliodas…

Do you remember what you told me back then? You said that

once a man makes an oath, he should never break it.

Yeah, true… but I also said…

…that if you were ever tempted or lost your way,

the Seven Deadly Sins would be there for you. Arthur!

It's about time someone makes you open your eyes!

I need to "open my eyes", you say?

My eyes are already wide open, and that's why I'm standing

against you now. After all,

the thought of humans coexisting with other races is nothing but a fantasy.

And believe me when I say,

I'll put this world back into the hands of the human race!

Why did you butt in?! I can handle him myself-!

Tristan stand back.

No way! It totally blew the mountain away!

This ain't good!

We must not get in the way of His Majesty's fight!

We should get away from here, as well.

Hold on, Dr. Hendy! What about Prince Tristan?

Prince Tristan!!!

-Watch out! -Shut up!

What a bad boy.

A son should never speak to his caring father with such disrespect.

Trillion Dark!

That power! A darkness strong enough

to have physical mass?

-King Arthur! -No, stop! You don't stand

a chance against this guy.

-Are you hurt? -Who th' hell asked you to help me?!

Would you stop treating me like a child?!

You're not able to turn back, are you?

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! I don't need you backing me up!

I can fight perfectly fine without you!

You truly are just a child. You still don't understand a thing.

What… did you--?

Even now, you fail to realize,

that all you're doing is dragging down your father in this fight.

I'll be fine.

Still though, Meliodas, you aren't much better.

Worrying about your precious son when the fate of your entire kingdom is at stake.

How could I serve as a proper king if I didn't worry about my own son?!

Then you're a failure as a king.

What do you think is required of the king of a country?

He must execute his decisions.

To protect his nation and people, he must abandon his own

feelings or concerns.

-Tristan! -Even if that means he must throw away his

darling wife or son… Would you not agree?

I'd never do that!

Is that so…?

I know it hurts, just hold on!

Very well… Then you shall die protecting

your beloved boy.

No way! Meliodas!

Meliodas!

Well, you're wrong.

What?

Tristan!

Jeez, you're a real handful, y'know that?

Shining Road.

I gotcha, Tristan, hang in there!

I can still…

You fought well son. Now, rest.

Just one hit tamed that prince's wild side?!

He did it!

You guys went to get him all by yourselves?

Well, duh! It was the fastest way to solve this big ole mess!

I take it you're the one who just did this?

I believe you're another one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, am I
