Diane is the best.
So are we going to find out that each of the Seven Deadly Sins got some amazing power from committing a sin each? Perhaps to do with their sin namesake?

Episode 8:
Decent episode overall. I wish they focused a bit more on Elaine and Bandit Ban during the flashbacks but I suppose they wanted to make time for the action. Poor Elaine though.
Guila is pretty OP as I expected. We haven't even seen the true extent of her abilities yet but she's proven to be quite a tough fighter, probably the strongest one so far from what Meliodas has faced on screen during the present era.

So Meliodas's true strength comes from pretty much multiplying anything someone else does. Now I like Ban quite a lot, seeing him with Elaine dyeing in his arms was a bit of a tearjerker.

Well I quite enjoyed that episode. Ban has previously been made to seem like an uncaring/ selfish character but his relationship with Elaine was pretty tearjerky. Especially her dying scene at the end being held in his arms.
There was a few funny moments in an otherwise serious/ emotional episode. Hawk is just comedy gold' and poor Diane asking Meliodas to kiss her quick and being blatenly ignored. For a giant, she's sure on the floor alot. I suppose they could have given us an episode on just Ban and Elaine but I thought it mixed well with the situation they were in and with getting King to join the fight against Guila.
Looking forward to seeing how the four sins take on Guila next week.

The latest episode reminds me why King is one my favorite characters from the series. Otherwise, it felt fast but the action was well done.

I'm really enjoying this show. It does remind me a lot of Fairy Tail, but it manages to stay unique and aside from Meliodas boob-grabbing Elizabeth that's gotten old pretty fast, the comedic timing is great and so far all the main characters are interesting and likable. I suppose the quest for the holy weapons will take the spotlight for the coming weeks which will allow the underplots among the Holy Knights to develop and give us a breather after half of the Sins have already gathered
I think something this short Ban-King arc managed to execute beautifully in the most basic "show, don't tell" fashion, was the tragedy of Ban's immortality, that which he sought out so eagerly and has now become his crux. The pain in his promise with Elaine "I'll come and get you" that he will never be able to fulfill was so evident it hurt without anyone having to explain it, and I really appreciated that. Definitely one of the most emotionally satisfying parts of the series so far.

Episode 10:
Not going to lie, Diane in that outfit and size is pretty cute from the latest episode. She can still kick some ass of course as one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Pretty fun episode overall.

Episode 10
Human sized Diane is an automatic win. But also Ban's naming sense, the fact he does not take it serious makes his character even better.
The guy in the preview said not to destroy the arena, I think they chose the wrong two people to fight for that. They previously destroyed a supposedly unbreakable barrier by arm wrestling.

Episode 10
Oh my god Diane, I could just give you such a big hug for being so damn cute this episode. Though keep the pig tails as I much prefer that style to the long hair on you.
But it was such a fun episode after the Capital of the Dead Arc. King wants to impress Diane, but Diane wants Meliodas to notice her and a shrunken Elizabeth is being held in the safest place in the kingdom.
With Ban and Meliodas against each other next episode, I wonder if the small village of Vaizel will survive the fight.

Episode 11:
Great episode overall with the action. Think Meliodas really took the spotlight along with Ban this episode during their intense fight in the first half. Diane's fight was decent too although not as good as Meliodas imo.
We'll get more fighting coming now and with that look and power, it looks to me like Jericho is ready to seriously kick some ass. (probably against Ban since their previous encounter ended with her being humiliated)

Loved the episode. Although I was disappointed that Ban lost because he's my favorite character, but I guess OP protagonist gotta be OP. Pretty baddass fight anyway. I'm also veeeery pleased to see that at least one of the XX chromosome characters has some baddassery in her. Diane was awesome owning that Holy Knight. Now I'm hoping for an honest fight with Meliodas, I don't want Diane to bail out because she doesn't want to hurt Cap'n or smth.

Episode 11
Meliodas is screwed, Ban managed to make Diane pissed at him. Also it looks like the mysterious girl with the knights is probably Elizabeth's sister and probably not out to hurt her, Jericho on the other hand. And was that another of the Sins?

So Meliodas is like a demon or something? For a second I thought that the Seven Deadly Sins had some sort of brainwashing activate on them, but they were trying to get everyone out by scaring them.
Quite sad that Elizabeth lost her sister, and it seems to have made Meliodas really angry.

Episode 12:
They skipped a lot of stuff but I guess the action was pretty good. Jericho is on another level now compared to before while the King struggles as well. Guess he didn't expect the referee to be an old enemy of his. RIP Veronica as well...at least she didn't go out with regrets.
We'll see how powerful Meliodas is next time.

Episode 12
Good thing King's opponent didn't just behead him when he had the chance. Otherwise they couldn't drag out the fight!
Elizabeth is rivaling Lisa in terms of uselessness but at least we got barely half an episode to care about her now dead sister...........
At this point if Elizabeth got some ass pull power up I'd be totally fine with it. But given that Meliodas is unleashing his full power now how much do you want to bet he'll go on dangerous rampage that will only be stopped by Elizabeth hugging/kissing him? 5 dollars anyone?
