Nanatsu no Taizai: Imashime no Fukkatsu

Pursued by Galand and Melascula, Jericho and the others took refuge in a bar.

There they met the final member of the Seven Deadly Sins,

Lion's Sin of Pride, Escanor.

With his tremendous power, he easily defeated the two members of the Ten Commandments.

Meanwhile, Diane, who had lost her memories...

Diane, from this day on, you can be a dancer.

What?

So you finally make your appearance,

Captain of the Pleiades of the Azure Sky, Denzel.

It truly appears that someone other than Dreyfus inhabits that body.

This is a research tower in Zeldon.

That is the name of the remote region you sent us off to.

After foreseeing the Holy War, King Baltra,

wishing for me to continue researching the Demon Clan—

even after I was sent far from the capital—

had me build this place in secret.

I see.

So what information do you intend to get out of me,

brother of Baltra?

I have no such intentions.

You wretch!

I'm sure this sword, purified by years of druidic prayers, has quite the edge.

This body belongs to one of your fellow men!

You obviously desire death by my hand.

What I seek to prove here today is that it's possible for a human to slay an ancient demon.

It's all in the name of a greater cause.

I'm certain that Dreyfus, from somewhere deep inside, would gladly lay down his life for that.

This is a tale of ancient times, from when the worlds of humans and non-humans were not separated.

The 3,000 year old seal has been partially broken.

The elite guard of the Demon Clan, the Ten Commandments,

seek to drown Britannia in blood and terror.

Against them stand the deadly sinners of the legendary band of knights.

They are the Seven Deadly Sins.

Like this?

That was awful.

What?!

How was it different from what you did?

Everything was different.

You suck!

Mommy is so much better than you.

Shut up, you!

She's mad!

Geez.

Don't let it get to you. That's just how children are.

Still, I was really surprised.

Not only did you turn out to be alive, but you also have children.

Sol and Della are from his now-deceased wife.

But I now love them as my own.

What?

You've changed, Matrona.

It's like you're a different person from the other day when you would only think of battle.

I-It wasn't the other day.

It's been sixteen years.

Oh, has it?

So after that battle, when you were clinging to life...

Zalpa came and saved you.

Yes, he administered appropriate treatments to my wounds

and watched over me for three days without sleeping.

Although...

You had a hand in helping me survive that day, Diane.

What?

Do you remember how you let some savages live during our battle several days prior?

Um, yeah.

Zalpa was one of them.

If it weren't for your weakness—

no, your kindness that I thought ill of,

I wouldn't be alive—nor would I have met Zalpa, or you again.

Thank you.

Enough about me.

How did you end up losing your memories of the past sixteen years?

Well, it's no use asking me, because I don't remember.

And you don't remember why those monsters were attacking you yesterday?

No! I'm scared!

What were they?!

Forgive me, I didn't mean to stir up your fears.

Diane, let's drop the subject.

We'll continue with dancing practice later.

That's fine.

I really like dancing.

It's so much more fun to smile and dance than to fight and spill blood.

According to legend, the original dance by the forefather of the Giant Clan

was a magnificent sight to behold.

It made the earth tremble with joy and overwhelmed onlookers.

Remember, Diane, that this is a sacred dance.

It's not just about flapping your limbs about.

The dancer communes with the earth through dancing.

Listen well, quiet your mind, and feel the earth with your entire body.

The whispers of the bugs.

The stir of the plants.

The glimmer of life.

Incorporating all of those into your movements is the essence of this dance.

Do you understand now, Diane?

Nope, no idea.

"Listen well, quiet your mind, and feel the earth with your entire body."

I don't hear anything.

It does feel like something's off.

This unpleasant aura!

Could it be...

No, it's something smaller.

What's this?

A Combat Festival shall soon be held at Vaizel.

The champion will be granted whatever they desire.

Wasn't Vaizel the town that Diane crushed?

This reward is rather enticing.

Maybe I can expand the bar.

Wait, that's obviously a scam!

Oh, you think it's the work of the Ten Commandments?

Well, who else would be crazy enough to use a demon to spread flyers?!

Meliodas, this is obviously—

It's obviously a trap!

Don't steal my lines!

A Combat Festival!

Even if I know it's a trap, I want to take part with Meliodas.

But I can't say that out loud!

Gil...

Do you want to go?

What?

You looked all excited just now.

Let's see now...

We lost track of Escanor, so why not drop by?

A-Are you serious?

Or do you have some sort of plan?

Nope! It just sounds fun!

Yes!

All right, guys. Good work spreading out those flyers.

Wait... One, two, three.

One's missing.

I get that you want to have fun on the outside,

but I wish you'd take your job a little more seriously.

I guess I'll execute him when he gets back.

Preparations are really important for a festival, you know.

A festival?

You continue to take pleasure in imitating human activities.

It's much more efficient than wandering about, gathering the dregs of random low-grade souls.

After all, humans are the greediest of the clans.

Besides, I'm sure Meliodas is going to come along too.

Since we're really old friends, right?

Sorry for startling you.

Ah, what Matrona said sounded difficult, and I didn't really get it,

but dancing without thinking anything is so nice!

I can feel my heart beating faster with excitement.

It feels so good.

The grass and trees seem to be bustling in joy too.

Look, the deer and foxes are watching me.

Oh! A bud sprouted out of a seed.

Huh? That's odd.

Even when I close my eyes, I can tell what's around me.

It's like I've become a part of the earth.

Like I've melted into it...

Stay away from my children!

If only...

If only I'd been there with the children. This never would have happened!

I feel the same way.

I've never seen that kind of monster.

It might be a bad omen.

Zalpa, Sol and Della are going to be all right, aren't they?

Their wounds are bad.

I'm not sure if they'll make it.

Oh, no!

Zalpa, take care of the children.

Matrona! Where are you going?

To Vaizel.

What? To Vaizel?!

To the thing on that weird flyer from yesterday?!

Granting whatever they desire to the champion?

That sounds beyond suspicious.

Diane's right.

Such things are only possible to the gods. Or miracles.

I know that.

But those gods and miracles are all we can hope for now.

Don't go, Matrona!

I have a bad feeling about this.

You're a precious family member to me and the children.

Don't go.

A woman like me doesn't deserve such words.

Thank you.

Matrona! Wait!

Diane.

Take that battle hammer and go.

Look after Matrona.

I'll be expecting both of you to return!

Okay!

I can feel them coming.

Lots of strong souls are coming this way.

The advertising campaign was a success.

Give me strength and protect my children,

god of the earth and forefather of the Giants Clan, Drole!

Isn't this going to be fun, Drole?

Staying on watch is so boring.

I want to fight a demon inside too.

Lord Denzel ordered us to wait for the signal.

And don't play with the Incantation Orb!

Yeah, yeah, fine.

Idiot!

Such reflexes, Waillo.

Marriage!

You moron! Klutz!

Do you know how big of deal it would've been if this broke?!

Sorry.

Pipsqueak! Brat!
