Review of Episode 12 of Nanatsu No Taizai: Fundo No Shinpan

 

First thing to be noted that episode 12 is not the final episode of this season. It seems like there will be another episode next week. The episode 12 is the best episode of the whole season because many unexpected things happened in this episode. Some of them were nostalgic and some were motivating but overall whole episode was enjoyable. At the end of previous episode it was shown that seven deadly sins  and Elizabeth enters into Meliodas’s mind to support him emotionally. In the current episode the final battle between seven deadly sins and the demon king about to end. After a very long time we got to see the reunion of Meliodas and Elizabeth. It had been a long time since I have seen them together and sharing romantic moment. I don’t why but a wave of emotional nostalgic compassion touched my heart at that moment. 

After meeting his friends Meliodas got power and motivation to fight demon king. He overpowered demon king. During the fight ‘perfect time’ song in the background gave motivational vibe to me. For the first time in this season each scene was getting better than the later one. On the hand, learning the truth behind Meliodas’s power, demon king decided to destroy bodies of seven deadly sins in real world.

Before he suceedes Ban and Archangels interfers him. Though Ludociel and Mael couldn’t engage in physical combat but there doing everything to subdue demon king. There was a moment when demon king sent his minion to attack Archangels, at that time I was hoping whether Zeldris would defy his father help them or not.

At that time Zeldris came to rescue, though his power was not enough to fight against his father but still I am glad he choose correct side at the end. At the end Meliodas succeeded in defeating spiritual form demon king and all was left to deal with physical form but he started destroying Meliodas body out of spite. At that time everyone used their powers to protect Meliodas body. 

The episode ended with Meliodas regaining his body back and reuniting with his loved ones. 

Though Meliodas returned, it would be too soon to celebrate because Elizabeth only has one day. I agree Meliodas might become new demon king but it doesn’t confirm whether he can lift the curse or not. Also whether Hawk and his brother will meet or not is a mystery. Let’s get answers in next episode.
