Merascylla fully recovers with a drop of Basquias' seventh form. Estarossa: "When will you betray them this time? Just like the time when you, the leader of us the Ten Commandments, abandoned all of us…" Merascylla is given the job to finish Meliodas off by Estarossa. Ban then hugs Elaine tightly and makes a request to Gilfrost. Merascylla, bearing a grudge from Escanor, tries to avenge herself by taking out Meliodas' soul.
The teleported Ban then attacks Merascylla on her back with "Zero Sign". He twists her head 180°, takes all her five hearts out and tramples on them. End texts: "Going to his friend, sacrificing everything!! Ban's will, determination, bonds with his friends stand before the Ten Commandments!!" "A bit later and it'd be all over!! However, there's still this man in the Seven Deadly Sins!!" To be continued in chapter 177 / What I can do for you.

No he didn't Gilfrost transported him there and he ripped Merscylla's hearts.
Juan White
Your strength… your callousness back then were monstruous. Even us the Ten Commandments, and also the Goddesses that folded their arms dared not approach you in fear. Everyone acknowledged you as the one suitable to be the next Demon King.
You were also my inspiration.
…you do not need to seek any forgiveness to me.
…thank you.
Hey, you the magicoen over there.
U… Gh…
Oh my… you still have the strength to oppose us. But I'm specialized in manipulating the dead— their souls. Guh…
Taking the soul from you who're unable to move will not be a difficult task.
"Zero Sign" …you do not need to seek any forgiveness to me.
Meliodas, I wonder how your soul will tas teurgh?
Question corner Q164: Neko-san (Kagawa Prefecture): How would you rank the cooking of the Seven Deadly Sins captain? Nakaba: Ban's is diamond and Meliodas's is despair.
You're… one really big bastard…!!
Well, Between us idiot friends, we would just get along. Bottom right text: Going to his friend, sacrificing everything!! Ban's will, determination, bonds with his friends stand before the Ten Commandments!! Margin text: A bit later and it'd be all over!! However, there's still this man in the Seven Deadly Sins!!

Jose Robinson
Is that Mel in the front and Zeldris on the right? But then the expression on the front guy makes me think Zeldris, while the hair looks like Mel's.
Noah Taylor
So what does Zero Time do? Erase his presence or something?
Christopher Parker
>Time Meant sign
Camden Williams
Probably a young Estarossa
Parker Jenkins
Damn, poor Merascylla, surviving Escanor to die at Ban´s hands.
Jaxon Ortiz
Is that Mel's sword from the one shot or just a broadword?
Cooper Bennett
That godness doesn´t look very holy to me, more like creepy.
Carson Sanders
It's Mera's power probably to completely devour a soul or annihilate it.
Probably Estarossa, Mel seems the one who killed the demon.
Logan Baker
It's Mel and young Estarossa. There's also young Mera and Derrierie, along with Gowther, Galan and Monspiet. Three guys at the back are new.
Angel Lopez
Just a broadsword Mel doesn't seem to be carrying any weapon. He killed the demon/goddess with his hands.
Goddess confirmed for final villain.
Nathan Anderson
>Ban will finally be useful >shouta estarossa >gowther was huge >those old demons that were part of teh team before dolor etc. joined >loli mera YES E S
Based Nakaba.
Landon Barnes
>Three guys at the back are new. No, not quite new. This is the old TC.
Wyatt Martinez
So only Galan, Merascylla, Monspiet and Estarossa are from the original Ten Commandments that are still in the group.
Meliodas betrayed them and Gowther abandoned them, but I wonder what happened with egg-head, dark moustache and the horned giant.
Charles Davis
I meant they were new characters. Obviously this is a flashback.
William Collins
There's young Derriere too in the image.
This makes sense with the pairings of the demons too. Galan with Merascylla and Monspiet with Derriere.
Isaiah Morris
No, it's definitely Ban's power.
Connor Cruz
>Question corner >Q164: Neko-san (Kagawa Prefecture): How would you rank the cooking of the Seven Deadly Sins captain? >Nakaba: Ban's is diamond and Meliodas's is despair.
kek
Nolan Edwards
Is Ban returning to best boy status?
Parker Lopez
RIP, Best Girl. You will be missed.
Samuel Bennett
so when is Ban getting his sacred treasure anyways and how big of a powerup will it be?
It's suppose to be a 4-section staff right?
Bentley Brooks
He is but it seems he'll die.
Nathaniel Barnes
Yes. See pic related.
Jose James
I hope Mera is daijobu and not diejobu.
The giant seems to be the one from the anime opening, no?
Gavin Reyes
>gowther was huge He's the same size. He's just standing closer to Mel than the others.
Christian Evans
Ah damn, I didn´t see her at first, thanks for pointing it out.
Anthony Myers
Not a very "holy" weapon either. I don't think we have to discuss how menacing a scythe is.
And is it just me or does her clothing look a lot like Merlin's?
Landon Adams
Holy shit that demon sign on his forehead is enormous.
Lincoln Anderson
Yeah, he was also Dolor´s prototype design.
Nathaniel Cook
I want Merascylla and Derierrie to look at me in disgust!
Jeremiah Brooks
Yeah, the skirt and the part of the shoulders is similar too.
Aaron Taylor
>kid Estarossa
David Carter
>implying she is dead Ban couldn't even kill a Red Demon good enough to stop it from producing blood.
Ian Ward
>loli Derierrie with short hair
Blake Howard
Meliodas is the big brother of the three, I can´t believe it.
Ian Evans
Hopefully she can Zombify herself or something.
Jonathan Wood
How will she do that if she's dead?
Luis White
She's dead
Brayden Mitchell
We'll work something out.
Chase Adams
And that strange one in the background looks like Diane's old golems. So silly he had to die.
Lucas Campbell
If Meliodas is the oldest, why he still looks so young? He's THAT strong that he ain't even aging even though demons seems to age very slowly?
Camden Watson
She was burned from the insides by Escanor´s flames last time, I think that she will be hard to kill.
Ryan Moore
Prove it.
Jaxson Bell
It could even turn out that the nonkilling commandment brings people back to life or something, and that's why they had to extract Mel's soul. Given that Ban just killed Mera, it can't negatively impact him or he just completely fucked himself.
Jack Phillips
>He twists her head 180°, takes all her five hearts out and tramples on them.
Even she can't survive that.
Carson Roberts
So I guess this confirms Gowther is a Commandment. It also explains why Dolor has heard of Gowther's name, but didn't know who he was.
Jordan Collins
Demons only have two hearts, don't they?
Nathan Sanchez
Kinda sad that the two first members to lose were from the original group.
Samuel Bennett
The red demons do. Merascylla had at least 6, Ban destroyed the first in their first fight and now he's destroyed her other 5.
Chase Johnson
It could also be that she has 5, and the one she lost was just restored by Gloxinia.
Charles Wilson
By the way, Meliodas has his oneshot weapon in that panel.
Isaiah Morgan
It's slightly different. It's the one he had in this cover page.
Ian Cruz
powerlevels
Isaiah Morales
She was saved by Gloxinia. Ban robbed her of all the her hearts. I'm Japanese and already read it
Luis Anderson
It was obviosly the basis for it though.
Ian Phillips
Oh yeah, no doubt.
Jackson Evans
Dude, she survived without Gloxinia´s help, that shota only healed her completely.
Easton Howard
Looking a how sturdy the Demons are, if Gloxinia is fast enough she can still be saved, probably.
Gloxinia was chiling hundreds of miles away and Merascylla was super crispy several days later, he healed her only now.
Logan Brown
>best Commandments are both gone ;_;
Cooper Bailey
I hope Mel ends up actually aging, Estarrossa looks suave as fuck, when I started reading this I was hoping for him to actually look like in the wanted poster and that he was using a disguise.
Caleb Phillips
Yep. Hence, "sign". Zero signs of his presence.
Lincoln Green
Like it's the first time the athor pulled that shit. I still can't believe how Nakaba just went and murdered those two Great Holy Knights. I wouldn't mind seeing those two more than we did. But thanks for reminding me, asshole. : )
Jaxson Ward
The godness that Mel killed in that flashback had wings similar to those of a grey demon and also used a similar weapon (both of them wield scythes)
Maybe it´s because they are both lesser members of their kind (like monkeys compared to humans), but the fact that they are that similar makes me think that Godness clan and Demons clan used to be a single race.
Wyatt Davis
Demons are just fallen angels user
Nathaniel James
He went to her hearts, he learned from his mistakes.
Adam Hill
Demons are fallen members of all other races.
I guess the true final boss is gonna be the Goddess, since they've been 3rd party in the entire story so far.
Eli Perez
Final boss is gonna be humanity :^)
Christian Bell
>implying Galan won't free himself and come save Merascylla
Won't happen though.
Carter Stewart
That would be cute as hell, but unless she managed to free Galan before and told him to wait for a chance it won´t happen.
Luis Bennett
If the kid in black is Estarossa then why didn't Meliodas age one bit?
All the other commandments obviously did.
Asher Adams
Because our Meliodas is a clone and the original Mel is the new demon king.
Thomas Cooper
Or maybe... Melodias' lack of aging has to do with his own commandment. Thou shalt not covet?
Justin Powell
Meliodas was the strongest demon, he most likely ages way slower.
Kevin Parker
>Everyone acknowledged you as the one suitable to be the next Demon King. This almost sounds like there is no current king/ the current one is dying.
Jacob Long
That was Gowther's.
John Williams
So is Galan a demon inhabiting a suit of armor or what?
Nicholas Hill
I think that he shouldn´t have his commandment anymore, just like Gowther´s belongs to Fraudin now, but if what he said to Denzel is true, then killing the demon that holds the commandment that belonged to Mel would send back it back to him.
Colton Ortiz
But then how did Melodias lose his commandment? Isn't it possible that he was affected by his commandment BEFORE losing it?
Brandon Torres
>But then how did Melodias lose his commandment Commandments are given by the demon king, he's one who can strip a person from it.
Andrew Robinson
You are right, but wich one of the commandments is the most fitting for the leader? And what would be the effect if Meliodas broke the rule and lost it for that reason?
And maybe the Demon King can also take them back at will.
Nicholas Price
So this is why Mel has abilities aimed for godslaying.
Brayden Lewis
> top right of the right page
Hey, we finally see the demon on the top right from the Anime intro.
Isaiah Gutierrez
Yeah, but Fraudin said to Denzel that if they killed him the commandment would go back to Gowther and restore his former self. That said, one has to doubt little of anything that comes from that guy´s mouth, he could have lied.
Michael Clark
They need to find the statue of Galan and put that in the interrogation room.
Christopher Ross
> goddesses gives off the same vive as Bayonetta's angels
Oh well, they're pretty much half confirmed for being the last arc's antagonists now.
Landon Fisher
So Meliodas is pretty much the strongest demon? Kinda fits as the only reason Dolor and Gloxinia survived is because he still thought he can talk sense into them.
Parker Gonzalez
That scene is cool as fuck, but please no, I wanted more SoL where Mera chills with Galan, don't kill her yet.
Lincoln Powell
Hope we get to see more of Ringbeard
David Nguyen
> loli Derrierie > Monspiet still looks grownup
Kinda confirms he's either her buttler or they're siblings. They're clearly not a couple.
Jack Anderson
Whichever one has to do with him betraying the commandments but not sealing away his power, I would assume. Honor thy mother/father? Maybe the demon king is Melodias' creator/parent. It would explain why he suddenly has a demonic younger brother that wasn't in his flashback.
Nolan Reyes
Father and daughter.
Ryder Ward
Maybe the curse is if you don't honor your mother/father, you are forever a child?
Colton Moore
> The goddess's dress looks very similar with Merlin's
CONFIRMED?
Hunter Jones
They have immense lifespan, age difference barely matters.
