Nanatsu no Taizai: Imashime no Fukkatsu

During the Combat Festival's first obstacle,

Diane meets up with Elizabeth and Hawk inside the huge maze.

At the same time, Meliodas and Ban encountered each other too.

The duo resort to brute force against the regenerating walls

in order to get to the other side where Elizabeth was waiting.

As a result, everyone manages to get to the maze's goal.

Over here, Matrona!

You're okay?

Sir Meliodas!

'Sup! Hope you didn't wait too long for us.

Elaine!

Oh! Hey, you two!

Ban made it too!

O-Okay...

A-Are those...

If you want to turn back, do it now.

Those two are part of the Ten Commandments.

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.

To the participants of all clans,

welcome to this colossal waste of time— I mean, Combat Festival.

First, we need to prepare a stage for you to fight in.

That's your cue, Drole.

D...

...Drole?!

Gigant Gauntlet!

Marvelous!

This is the stage where you will fight.

I can't wait to begin, so we'll proceed with the participants here.

I'll just clean up the ground beetles still wandering about inside the maze.

Impossible!

The magic I sense from that monster is,

without a doubt, fairy magic!

And it's absurdly powerful too.

What's going on?!

Spirit Spear Basquias, Form Nine:

Death Thorn!

Every noticeable spark of life that was inside the maze has been extinguished.

Death Thorn is a horrifying shrub growing atop the highest parts of the Sacred Tree.

It exterminates anything harmful that the Sunflower is unable to kill.

And moreover, Basquias is the legendary Spirit Spear granted to the first chosen by the Sacred Tree.

How are you here...

First Fairy King Gloxinia!

I haven't been called that in quite a while.

Now I am known as Gloxinia the Repose of the Ten Commandments.

Weren't you killed at the hands of the Demon King himself during the Holy War 3,000 years ago?!

Oh, are you a fairy too?

Answer my question!

If you want to know, then win the tournament.

I'll tell you whatever you want to know if you do.

Now then, let us begin the Combat Festival!

Taizoo, it's your time to shine.

Y-Yes, sir!

What's that guy doing here?

Looks like fun.

I was just helping Escanor deliver booze,

but I guess I'll join the tournament.

Welcome, you battle-starved warriors!

The first round will be a two-on-two tag-team match.

Are you ready?!

N-Not a very excitable crowd, eh?

S-So let us—

Wait a minute!

Gowther has arrived!

Gowther? I've heard that name before...

Excuse me, but would you be so kind as to step somewhere else?

Oh, my bad.

It appears I miscalculated my landing spot ever so slightly.

No, not at all. It's because I don't really stand out much.

Please do not be bothered by it.

That voice, that skeletal structure, and that speech pattern...

You're Escanor!

It's been a while.

Is that Sir Escanor, the Lion's Sin of Pride?

M-My glasses!

I understand your confusion.

My treasured glasses that I received from Miss Merlin are beyond repair!

Without these, I... I...

Shut up.

What?

Escanor!

I wish people would stop impeding the proceedings of the tournament.

I... still haven't told Miss Merlin...

I can't die.

I don't want to die.

And here we're organizing this tournament in order to grant your wishes.

For example, like this.

Droplet of Life.

Wh-What?

Just now I was...

All right then, Drole,

I'll leave you to form the teams.

Teams of two, right?

Divining Bowl Technique!

Those standing on the same floating rock have been chosen by fate to partner up.

Entrust each other with your lives and pride, and fight with all you've got.

Each other? So we're in teams of two?

Hey there, Cap'n.

We'll have to save our internal conflict for later.

Yeah!

Do you intend to make this child fight too?!

Diane!

You know me too?!

I'm looking forward to fighting alongside you!

O' valiant golden cockscomb!

He's just a runt!

You again?

But I just came to deliver brew.

Why am I so unlucky?

No, you're in fact very lucky!

Because you got me for teammate!

A-A pig?!

Weren't you with Guila?

I got dumped already.

That was fast.

Good boy.

And since you're here anyway, you'll be playing too.

Wait...

Will there be exactly 16 teams if we add one more pair?

Let's add a pair of stand-ins for the two of us.

We shall now begin the tag-team fights between the 16 teams!

Each floating rock will land on a random stage.

The two teams who land on the same stage will battle it out for the first round!

16 teams?

Why do I feel like we only have 15?

Elizabeth!

Elaine!

First rule of the Combat Festival:

the use of any and all weapons, magic powers, and dirty tricks is permitted.

Second rule:

the victory condition is death, incapacitation, or expulsion from the stage of the other team.

Gloxinia, you leave Elizabeth out of this!

If you lay a hand on Elaine, I'll grind you to a pulp!

Unfortunately, they became participants the moment they entered the maze.

Third rule:

resigning from a fight is strictly forbidden.

Sir Meliodas! Please do not worry about me.

Please concentrate on your own fight.

She's got guts.

I'll be fine too, Ban!

Just like Elizabeth said, concentrate on the fight in front of you.

She's pretty plucky too.

How do you know my name?

When I was peeking on Ban,

you and Meliodas were often close by.

Does that mean you're...

I'm Elaine. Nice to meet you.

Brother, I must admit my heart is not into laying a hand on women and children.

To an assassin, putting bread on the table and killing people are the same thing.

It's all in a day's work.

You're right. It's all in a day's work.

What?!

Dealing with people like you is the job of the Holy Maiden of the Fairy King's Forest.

Brother!

The Holy Maiden of the Fairy King's Forest?!

You're so awesome, Elaine!

Amazing! She's really amazing!

Elizabeth, you're an honest and lovely girl, just like I thought you would be!

Y-You think so?

Yes!

I was also curious what kind of person Sir Ban's lady friend was.

And you're a lovely woman, just like I thought!

You mean, Sir "who-knows-what- he-might-be-thinking" Ban?

I-I'm sorry!

Well, I can say the same for Sir "who-knows- what's-going-on-in-his-head" Meliodas.

That's so true.

Why did you come to Vaizel?

Did you just get caught up in that maze?

No.

We came here for a great cause.

We came to hold back the invasion of the Ten Commandments who have awoken from their seal.

And because Sir Meliodas said that

it might be fun.

I-I feel like Ban would say the same.

They're best friends, after all.

It's a smokescreen!

Get away, Elaine!

Forgive me, girl.

But you need to die for the longstanding wish of the people of Malachia.

Poison Snake Whip!

I've dealt with one of them, Brother!

Now only that Holy Maiden of something remains.

Elizabeth, say something!

Elizabeth!

You're mine!

But how?!

I'm certain my presence was erased, and I even got behind her.

If you want to take me on, you need to silence not only your body, but your mind too.

She's above!

Imperial Wrath of Great Wind!

Elizabeth!

Elizabeth!

Brother! Don't die!

Brother!

How are you alive?!

The poison should have spread throughout your body and killed you.
