Welp, that's the power of a Commandment for ya. Gloxina is on another level compared to the other competitors there.

The episode is alright. We got to see more of the other Commandment making their moves at different places. Lol, I can't help but notice that Estarossa is the laziest one compared to everyone else.

Glad to see the show focus a bit on Merlin. The sun scene at the end was epic. Praise the Sun!

FukuJun's character fought to his limit and defeated one.

Wow, stones made of her imagination? Even he's surprised about his stone.

While battle happens, other members already dominated one kingdom.

Sugita-san's character is in bad luck. He had to fight at night, which is in his weak form. On top of that, he had to fight against his comrades, but that pink hair guy is the only one who has the will to fight.

So he's a prince in a kingdom and everyone was afraid of him. He likes Sakamoto-san's character because she looks like his maid who led him escape.

Mind control made him release sun, which made him transform at night. Wow, he hit the enemies, but was sacrificed by pink hair guy.

Finally KajiKaji's character's turn next?

"I appreciate you as a friend too!" Poor King doesn't know if being happy or sad xD

Escanor backstory and more badassness from his part, even at night, this man is so great.

King showing his true weapon form and saving Diane was nice. Diane also showed what is she capable of.

The main focus of the episode was for Escanor and Gowther. His memories were awful, damn he waa considered a monster because of that power. Best part was that instead of despair, the memories were hope for him, really good contrast.

Gowther is stil a cold person, but with that ending I think he understood what Escanor's real intentions were. Nice cliffhanger. PRAISE THE SUN!

Wasn't a fan of the first half of the episode. The King and Diane stuff isn't that interesting at all.

However, the stuff with Gowther and Escanor was really good. Nice to see Escanor get some backstory and also, more on his relationship with Merlin.

Overall, since the Gowther and Escanor stuff was longer and more important, I'll say it was a pretty good episode.

Merlin-san, I don't feel so good.


Okay episode, even with Escanor's badassery. The visuals were too static for my liking, and sadly, it didn't delivered the epicness of the manga. I hope the comming episodes will be better, since we are reaching the climax of the arc.

Escanor again proved that he is my most favorite character from this show, and the fact that he is a prince surprised me even more.
I can't wait for the next fight Meiodas vs two Commandment.

Woah, another tense and exciting episode; it seems that Diane has fragments of her former memory which led to her creating these golems of her friends.

But really though, the highlight of this episode is gowther... 'Cause he is going through an intense phase, I don't blame him for trying to find his true self. Although he is going about it in the wrong way it seems that the other sins will pull him out of this dark place; I wonder if they will achieve this though as another plot twist is just as well likely

Great episode again.

King showing that servant who's boss and I don't know whether I should be happy or sad for him based on Diane's comments. xD

We got a little of Escanor's backstory, I hope there's more later on.
That said, Escanor is pure awesome. Gowther might have won the battle but he sure lost the war, Escanor sure showed him what it means to have heart.

Praise the Sun!

Oh boy. A bit of Escanor backstory. Mhmf. Merlins a big thing to him it seems.

King going all out for Diane. Itll be nice once this whole memory loss thing is gone and forgotten about. Also, the King golem looked a bit.. uh.. mind handicapped shall we say.

Also, a sun shines at night time. And a hit on the two commandments. Ooft. Praise the sun!

Didn't really care for the King and Diane stuff but the Gowther and Escanor part of the episode was great. I liked his backstory, and what he ended up doing to Gloxinia and Drole was badass.

Diane and King fight to the enemy was interesting. The golem of Hawk was hilarious.
And the main fight this episode is Escanor vs Gowther fight, we see some backstory of Escanor and why Merlin important to him and he see her like a sun. And the transform at night, its temporary but its powerful enough to rekt the jikkai and Escanor receive attack from Gowther that shows how Escanor cares for his friends. PRAISE THE SUN.

Next is turning point of the season of taizai.

I really hope things are better explained next episode. I have no idea why he was able to go into his buff form like that. Also is he ded? and if it was an option to attack the 2 commandments right away why isn't that what our heroes did from the start? lol, again poorly explained. All it showed last episode what it was some lame plant magic that stopped them which shouldn't be a problem as far as I'm concerned.

Also PRAISE THE SUN!!

So, Escanor has already killed four of the Ten Commandments... as awesome as that is, why the hell is there any conflict left in this show now? Other than that, how long until everyone figures out that Gowther is one of the Commandments as well? If we as an audience already know (and have done for a few episodes now), they surely can't keep that knowledge from the characters for that much longer.

That King golem moment was super funny, I didn't see that coming.
Poor Escanor, his parents never understood his power and tried to kill him.
Man, Merlin is too beautiful, it's impossible not to love her.
Wow, he attacked the jikkai.
Please, someone has to do something with Gowther.

By attacking (knocking out) the two commandments, Escanor rendered further continuation of the festival impossible. Gowther once again is punished by denial of heart he could otherwise receive from the festival (obviously not). Cool boy sun-chosen!

True, but as it was intended, he saw that light in his memory, relieving his tragic past once again, and seeing Merlin for the light she is from inside him conscious. That is something between emotional boost and actually seeing light in your mind, mhm? What I want to say, this is the first and last time it would work.

For an usually emotion-less character Gowther surely displayed a lot of emotion in this episode.

For being Gowther that is.

BEAUTIFUL EPISODE, it highlights Diane x King and the battle of Hawk x escanor and Jerico x Gowter.

Diane x king- those Golem's were created very well that it looks like a replica of Meliodas, elizabeth, hawk, matrona and Harlequin. In the end its the golem harlequin having the final blow. Its a sweet one though that diane thought of king as a strong guy...

Hawk x escanor Vs Jerico x gowter- Gowther really is a selfish guy that he doesnt care if he will kill his comrades just to have a heart. (i really hated that one). i like how they have shown escanor's past and on how Merlin has motivated him to continue his life. Its a sweet one... and by the way the last attack he made proves why he is a super strong guy as on one hit, it defeated the 2 10 commandments...

yeah!!! next weeks episode is meliodas vs 10 commandments..hmmm!!! im so excited about it.
