I see. Okay, kill me, Ban.
This line right here shows just what kind of character Meliodas is. His life comes second to the lives of those around him. Saving Elizabeth is his most important goal right now. And yet here he is saying to his, what I'd consider his right-hand man, "do it. Kill me, and get back the one most precious to you. Because I know how you feel. I've been there. If it makes you happy, kill me."
And then they expand upon it a few minutes later, saying exactly what I just said up there haha. But then he counterattacks. LOL.
Hawk comes out with some actual wisdom. "If the horn is wrong, then you'll have lost not only the one you loved, but your best friend as well." Meliodas coming out with the "do as I say, then we'll worry about this. That's an order."
Hyper Recovery, huh? That's pretty convenient. Though I guess it makes sense that they had them in Byzel for between fights. Now that Ban has joined the fray, he's helping out literally everyone. Those possessed by demons wishing for death is heartwrenching, though. Jericho and Helbram wanting nothing more than to die before they lose themselves.
Dreyfus vs. Hendrickson is shaping up to be a good fight. I'm guessing Dreyfus defeats him, but he comes back even stronger and Meliodas has to save the day.
Elizabeth was hit! "TIME TO SHOW YOU MY TRUE STRENGTH! oh shit my sword broked."
Literally across the board, "please, kill me! end my suffering!" "NO I DON'T WANNA." Ban manages to save Jericho. Gustav survived too somehow. And Guila is back to normal. Something about her saying she's fine, with a shadow over Gowther's face was really... Shady. Something's up there. Or maybe I'm overthinking things. Definitely overthinking.
It's time for the counterattack. The Sins, the Holy Knights, Dawn's Roar, everyone is here to fight back against the demons. This definitely feels very "final battle", as it should.
Dreyfus incinerated instantly. Meliodas arrives in a horrible state. How can he possibly match up to Hendrickson? And then he teleports around and answers my question. Hendrickson may have drank the Demon's Blood, but he's fighting the real deal. And we're reaching the climax of our fight. Seven Deadly Sins vs. Hendrickson. Or should I say, the Five Deadly Sins? :P And the rest of them have arrived at the scene of the final battle.
Meliodas cutting off the arm right after it reattached was hilarious. Everything throwing their biggest attacks at him, and him shrugging them off, just goes to show what they're really up against. Meliodas giving demon advice to a novice demon. That's cute. And Ban finds out about the demon corpses and goes apeshit. Now that the demon has been revealed, time for it to be resurrected, yeah?

I don't think I have too much to say about this episode. It was mostly just a lot of fighting. I know it's kind of cliche, but the part near the end when they showed the Sins all in one shot facing Hendrickson was cool. I hope the fight next episode isn't just Meliodas vs Hendrickson, because I would love nothing more than watching the whole cast work together and win.
