Double chapter this week. Oooh The Ghost Knight aka Sir Zaratras?! I wasn't expecting this although I have a weird feeling about it; as if it's that's really him.

And poor Meliodas...I feel bad for Elizabeth here.

Elizabeth's cooking is just as bad as Meliodas. So sad to see her in pain just waiting for Meliodas to wake up.
The wandering knight is none other than Sir Zaratras. He's alive & well.
Did not expect that. Hopefully next week we find out what really happened to him.

Loved the panel Elizabeth was hugging Mel's sleeping/dead body.

And Zaratras huh. Well not very surprising but I wonder where he's been and just how strong he is in comparison to the 10C? Also where the sins are right now

Zaratras?! What the fuck?!

Like, him being alive is incredibly surprising right now! There was never any hint of this before, was there? I've completely forgotten. Oh shit, that stuff in Chapter 168 about that thing on Dreyfus, riiiiight.

it was said he is as strong as the member of the seven sins. so maybe he is a bit below 10C level

Elizabeth is such a damn annoying character. He existence is borderline pointless in this series. All this bitch does is cry, get groped and cry some more. Just get her the fuck out the way already. I wanna see Super Sun God Escanor go ham.

I was expecting more hype considering we got a double chapter. They were both boring and I knew Mel wouldn't be dead...asspull incoming.

No surprise with Zaratas, specially after everyones been speaking about the idea of him being alive the past few months. Gotta give Elizabeth credit for how she's going on like that too.

I had a strong feeling Zaratras would still be alive after seeing this page from a past chapter.

So this reveal isn't really that surprising. Maybe he'll play a role in bringing Meliodas back to life.....

He is obviously not dead or he would be decomposing by now it has been a month since his defeat. Also at the end of the chapter Elizabeth is asking him to "open your eyes...wake up" rather than "come back to life". These are phrases you say to someone in a coma not someone who is dead, the context clues tell us a lot about the given situation.

Death comes with decomposition. Has Mel's body decomposed at all in the last month since his defeat? Look at his body his wounds have even healed...lol. where did I get that from?? Why did you ever think he was dead in the first place?

He is alive for 10 years, now he just revealed himself and made the seven deadly sins take all the blame for his death.

The body of Meliodas is probably like the fairies: it does not decompose (remember that Elaine had no hole in the stomach later). After it's just a narrative device to have a clean body and pretty poetic scenes. And this double page with Meliodas and Elie was beautiful! However Meliodas has always his scars : seven scars? Tribute to Hokuto no Ken? ^^
Elaine, Helbram and now Meliodas: nothing new. The trick is to have a clean and true ressurection. That's the new challenge.

Otherwise chapter very friendly and breathable nostalgia. So, is it Zaratas that will guide Elie in his resurrection quest? After all a "dead" is the best candidate ^^ While I thought it would be Merlin.

So the status of Sins remain mysterious:
- Captured? The TC would have left alive? doubtful,
- In depressive mode: not very convincing that the Six both had this type of development / pause (one or two, why not, but all?)
- They are already into a quest: to bring back life Meliodas or find a way to defeat the TC?

Edit : For the Arthur's cat I begin to wonder if it is not outright Merlin into mode "I regenerates myself with a powerful new body through a feline statut to signify a sleep mode"^^ It Merlin has not seen since training session, corresponding.

She also followed up with saying she can't bear to live in a world without him, which points more to him being dead than in a coma. Why did I think he was dead in the first place? Because Estarossa destroyed all of his hearts, not to mention the editor's note saying he has fallen. As for his body and wounds, it either has something to do with Elizabeth's power, the fact the Meliodas is part demon, or both. It's not like this would be the first time a dead body didn't decompose, just look at Elaine.

If it somehow ends up being that he was in a coma this entire time and that's the reason he looks like that, then that's just going to end up looking really bad on the mangaka. I'd like to think Nakaba is smarter than that, and considering he's done a pretty damn good job on the series so far, I'm certainly willing to trust him for now.

is she living in the world with him now if he is in a coma/state of suspended animation? The context of what she said is the same either way. You make a good point about Elaine and I will admit I could be wrong about the decomposition considering Mel is a Demon and not Human. But his wounds being healed is still telling imo. We definitely have different views on the series so far but that's fine with me we're both entitled to that. I'm liking it more now though since Mels 's defeat is (imo) the best decision the author has made so far.

What a boring double chapter, other than Zaratas being alive, there wasn't really anything significant, just a bunch of hodgepodge. This manga has become so meh lately, I'm really starting to wonder when it's going to pick itself back up, 'cause I know it's possible for this to become great again.

In my experience there's just a lot more of a negative bias in general at MAL. It seems like no one's ever happy a lot of the time.

xD, he´s on a training spree. Hiro Mashima is among his disciples too, gotta teach them all the ways of trolling.

Jokes aside this chapter went full Fairy Tail and why do people like Elisabeth to begin with? She´s literally the worst Damsel in Distress in Shounen History.
Her consistant prevalence in the foreground doesn´t make it better.
I´m glad that the japanese got some taste and left boringliodas and blandlisabeth at the bottom of the rankings for the sake of the characters that have to tell an actually interesting story.

Baring the risk to get all the hate from the Taizai fanboys, Lucy is a better heroine than Elisabeth. I´d even say Sakura, because she did something, that wasn´t lookign pretty imo, but nonetheless she did support.

Zaratras's alive? Great another character added to the ever growing list of people that should be dead but for some odd reason aren't.
