Nanatsu No Taizai Imashime No Fukkatsu Episode 17
Nanatsu no Taizai: Imashime no Fukkatsu (Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of the Commandments) episode 17 is a pivotal point focusing on character development and crucial revelations about the Ten Commandments. Let's unpack it.
The Scene: Istar
The episode primarily takes place in Istar, the druids' sacred ground. Think of Istar as a magical sanctuary, a place of healing and wisdom. Meliodas, Elizabeth, Hawk, and the other Sins are there to recover from recent battles and prepare for the impending war against the Ten Commandments.
Escanor's Trial
One major event is Escanor's trial. Remember Escanor, the Lion's Sin of Pride? He possesses immense power during the day, but becomes meek and weak at night. The druids put him through a trial to help him control his power. It’s like teaching a powerful race car driver how to handle curves. His internal struggles become a central point.
The Ten Commandments' Arrival
The Ten Commandments, the Demon King's elite warriors, disrupt the peace. They arrive to capture Elizabeth. Consider them the ultimate villains, each possessing a unique "Commandment" that curses anyone who breaks it. For example, one Commandment might curse anyone who lies in front of them with muteness.
Meliodas vs. Derieri
A significant battle ensues: Meliodas versus Derieri, one of the Ten Commandments. Derieri's power, "Purity," allows her to gain more strength with each consecutive hit. It's like a snowball effect; the more she hits, the stronger she gets. This fight demonstrates the sheer power level of the Commandments and the challenge Meliodas faces.
Elizabeth's Power Awakens (Slightly)
During the chaos, Elizabeth shows hints of her dormant power. Think of it as a spark igniting. While not fully revealed, it's clear she holds a crucial role and immense potential linked to the Holy War. This is a crucial foreshadowing moment.
Gowther's Memory Manipulation
Gowther, the Goat's Sin of Lust, uses his ability to manipulate memories. He reveals that the Derieri Meliodas fought isn't operating on her own free will, but is acting on the hatred and desire for revenge imposed on her by someone manipulating her from the shadows. This throws a wrench into the understanding of the Ten Commandments' motivations.
What to Remember:
- Istar as a safe haven turned battlefield.
- Escanor's ongoing struggle with his power.
- The overwhelming power of the Ten Commandments, exemplified by Derieri.
- Elizabeth's budding power and her importance.
- The manipulation potentially influencing the Ten Commandments actions.
Episode 17 leaves viewers on a cliffhanger, highlighting the escalating conflict and the mysteries surrounding Elizabeth and the true motivations behind the Holy War. It sets the stage for even more intense battles and revelations to come.
