History Awesome / TheSevenDeadlySins

** Chapter 281: King, determined to protect everyone (but especially Diane) from Mael after Oslow's {{Heroic Sacrifice}}, finally grows his wings to full size - [[CurbStompBattle proceeds to hand Mael his ass on a platter]], manifesting multiple Spirit Spears to counter everything the Archangel tries.

Even Better? It serves as a nice contrast to 3'000 years ago, where neithe*r he nor Elizabeth could even come close to matching their parents Strength. Now after so long, he has finally gotten rid of his abusive dad.

* And after everyone was worried about Elizabeths curse still being in place now that the Commandments are destroyed, Meliodas revealed he figured out a way to break them while in Purgatory. Merlin then uses Curse Discovery to reveal both of the couples horrifying curses, before Meliodas enters his Supreme form(Now revealed to Rival the Demon Kings power) and unleashes a sphere of energy that dissolves both curses into nothing! After so many years, he and Elizabeth are now finally free!

** Former [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority Holy knight Grand master]] Zaratras kills a demon in one strike.

** At that moment, [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Perfect]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSXrZWtBjcw Time]] starts playing. Meanwhile, the knight who fell wakes up and warns his fellow knights that they need to stay away. He realized who the boy was and they ''[[TheDreaded dare not anger him]]'', lest he destroy the entire kingdom! We later learn that his fears are justified, because it's ''happened before''.

* The above moment is followed up by what looks to be one of the best battles so far, where Escanor ''blows Estarossa away'' so that he can unleash his full power away from other humans. Estarossa survives and recovers, and it appears that he's able to seal Escanor's light with his darkness, and his strength with the Full Counter....''and then we find out that noon is over half an hour away and Escanor NoSells his own reflected attack, while his Cruel Sun absorbs the darkness.'' Estarossa gets the first OhCrap look we ever see from him, as he wonders if Escanor really is a human being.

* And the awesomeness continues! zrscanor is powerless after the transformation recedes, and Dolor starts getting up, so Meliodas takes over the fight. Cue a complete CurbStompBattle that makes even Ban shiver at Meliodas's new powers, and when Gloxinia gets up covered in armor after Dolor is defeated, the armor is instantly destroyed by [[SuperPoweredEvilSide Meliodas's Demon form]].

* After [[spoiler: the Tournament]] two holy knights, including a stronger Guila, attack the sins, with Guila defeating Meliodas, and the other defeating Ban. Then, King, with the help of his sacred treasure, [[CurbStompBattle effortlessly curb stomps both of the holy knights in only a few seconds.]] This, more than anything, demonstrates the difference in power between a sin with his sacred instrument, and a sin without it.
* When Meliodas went into his [[spoiler: dark mode]] he easy defeated Guila and Jericho without a Sacred Treasure and overwhelming Helbram who has the power of 20 Holy Knights and even took Hendricksen to make Helbram borrow a little bit of his power.
* Diane shows just how powerful she can be [[spoiler: with her sacred treasure Gideon by throwing a small mountain on top of the holy knight who injured Meliodas.]]
* Meliodas shows how strong he really is by using a twig to [[spoiler: cut a mountain in half]] and use a real sword to slay a beast in many pieces.

* Everything about the fight between King and [[spoiler: Helbram]]. It seems King has been holding out on us...
* In chapter 81, [[spoiler:the freed Gilthunder chops off Hendricksen's hand to save Meliodas.]]

* King Arthur, due to being able to embody BadassNormal by [[spoiler: Going head to head with Hendrickson with no holy knight powers of his own. Let me repeat: He has no special magic or powers, he's just a really, incredibly skilled swordsman.]]

* In Episode 23 of the anime, Elizabeth [[spoiler: finally unleashes her true power, which had been hinted at throughout the series. Not only does she manage to damage Hendricksen, who had been shown to be virtually invulnerable up until that point, but she manages to heal the wounds of every living Holy Knight on the field and every citizen of the city of Liones.]]

* Ban [[spoiler:starts handing Galan his ass by stealing his powers and using them against him until the second of the Ten Commandments interfered.]]
* Fleeing from Galan and Merascylla, Jericho carries Ban [[spoiler:and the temporarily-resurrected Elaine]] on her back through a forest; she's clearly getting very tired, being tripped up by roots, and is constantly aware of the terrible threat dogging her heels. Nevertheless, when Galan starts trying to hit the fugitives by doing golf-shots with ''huge boulders'', she dodges one, then facetanks another with a suitable BadassBoast:

* Escanor, when wielding his axe is so terrifyingly powerful that [[spoiler:Galan chooses to run away even though he knew that he'd be turned to stone by his own power]]. And in the very next chapter, his soul is so powerful [[spoiler:it destroys another Commandment who tried eating him]].
* King [[spoiler:unleashes his true power against the Fairy Doll of the first Fairy King and obliterates it, while Diane's golems of her friends manage to defeat Dolor's. Even if it was a hard fight, they both managed to do an amazing job.]]
* During the Escanor fight (since this is night, his power is at his lowest) against [[spoiler: his comrade Gowther]], He is subjected to MindRape where his DarkAndTroubledPast is revealed, and how he become infatuated with [[SingleTargetSexuality Merlin]]. But he managed to [[spoiler: not only break away from the MindRape, but use his love for Merlin to ''transform into his noon form at will'']]. Cue BadassBoast.
** And then what does he do to Gowther? [[spoiler:Nothing at all. Instead, he directs his strongest attack at Dolor and Gloxinia, using his battle with Gowther as a distraction, and reduces them to a couple of charred, twitching heaps on the ground. Oh, and the kicker? Since it's still night and it's a voluntary transformation that only lasts a few seconds, Escanor doesn't have the same power his "real" noon form has, even when releasing his Sacred Treasure. And he still strikes down two more Commandments!]].
* And the awesomeness continues! [[spoiler:Escanor is powerless after the transformation recedes, and Dolor starts getting up, so Meliodas takes over the fight. Cue a complete CurbStompBattle that makes even Ban shiver at Meliodas's new powers, and when Gloxinia gets up covered in armor after Dolor is defeated, the armor is instantly destroyed by [[SuperPoweredEvilSide Meliodas's Demon form]]]].
* The battle rages on, with Meliodas showing us again why he's so feared and respected as the strongest Sin. [[spoiler: He continues to utterly curb-stomp two Commandments, while also being clever enough to fight them one at a time.]]
* And just when you think the fight was over, [[spoiler: The other Commandments [[DynamicEntry crash the fight]]. Bonus points to Merascylla, who survived being burnt out by Escanor, despite being all charred and disconfigured.]]
* Even when getting pummeled, Meliodas is still completely badass. [[spoiler: He's fighting 9 Commandments at the same time, and holding his own quite well, specially considering that, earlier, he and the other sins were getting curbstomped by only one Commandment. That is, until his arm gets chopped off and his demon power recedes, but even then, he just [[CutlassBetweenTheTeeth holds his sword in his mouth]] and shows that [[TheDeterminator he still won't give up!!]].]]
* A moment for both Meliodas and Estarossa. [[spoiler: Meliodas fakes being defeated by the massively powerful techniques used on him, only to show that he was preparing his [[CounterAttack Revenge Counter]], which [[OhCrap freaks out all Commandments, even Zeldris]], who know how powerful that technique is. Except for [[DissonantSerenity Estarossa]], who [[NoSell stops the technique with one hand]], and then proceeds to [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown stomp Meliodas]]]].
* [[spoiler:Ban sneaks up on the Ten Commandments by suppressing his presence and then snaps the neck of Merascylla before ripping out a bunch of her hearts with his "Fox Hunt" technique to save Meliodas.]]
* [[spoiler:Estarossa's power is revealed--Love. With it, anyone who feels hatred cannot bring themselves to fight. He makes it clear that he's going to cut straight through everyone who came out to stop him. And then ''Escanor steps up.'']]
--> [[spoiler:'''Escanor:''']] Should I hate those weaker than me? No...all I feel for them is pity.
* [[spoiler:The above moment is followed up by what looks to be one of the best battles so far, where Escanor ''blows Estarossa away'' so that he can unleash his full power away from other humans. Estarossa survives and recovers, and it appears that he's able to seal Escanor's light with his darkness, and his strength with the Full Counter....''and then we find out that noon is over half an hour away and Escanor NoSells his own reflected attack, while his Cruel Sun absorbs the darkness.'' Estarossa gets the first OhCrap look we ever see from him, as he wonders if Escanor really is a human being.]]

** [[spoiler: Former [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority Holy knight Grand master]] Zaratras kills a demon in one strike.]]
** Hawks Mom [[spoiler: charging straight through a group of demons, smashing them to pieces.]]
** Elizabeth [[spoiler: using her powers to stop Derriere, of the Ten Commandments, attack destroying Derriere's hand to the bone.]]
** [[spoiler: Meliodas returns [[BigDamnHeroes sending Derriere flying]], in one strike.]]

** A villainous example[[spoiler: Monspiet controlling his demon mooks [[CombinationAttack for Derriere to get]] [[KillStreak her combo star powerful enough]] [[TrashtheSet to take down Hawks mom, destroying the boar hat on her back]].]]
** Despite the above, [[spoiler:not only was Melodias able to halt each combo, resetting it, in one swift counter, he sends back Monspiet's attack resulting in a huge exsplosion]].

** Jerico's brother uses what remains of his magical strength to [[spoiler:temporarily freeze the demon eggs Gray Lord placed dozens of people in, halting them from becoming demons when said eggs hatched, including Jerico]].
** [[spoiler: Merlin, back in her physical body]] performs a BigDamnHeroes moment, saving the hostages and fully intending to attack the Ten Commandments with everything she has.

** [[spoiler: Merlin`s entire battle with Greyroad]] is one big chapter of awesome. She lives up to her BadassBoast from last chapter.
** [[spoiler: Merlin broke the [[TakenForGranite Truth commandment]] Galan placed on her, HERSELF.]]
** [[spoiler: Howser]] [[TakingTheBullet taking a spell, from a commandment]] for [[spoiler: Merlin, [[NoSell which she dispels instantly]].]]
** After using a DeathRay to destroy one of Greyroads heads, [[spoiler: Greyroad`s commandment [[NoSell has no effect on Merlin]] as she froze her own time making her never age.]]
** [[spoiler: Merlin`s true identity as the daughter of Belialin]], [[TheDreaded TERRIFIES the Commandments.]]
** At the end of the chapter [[spoiler: Greyroad pulling a ScrewThisImOuttaHere, she STILL ends up in a test tube.]]
* 215: Diane in the body of Dolor. King of the Giants 3000 years ago in the first holy war, long story, faces off against [[WarriorPrince Zeldoris]] the executioner of the demon clan. She shakes and infuses the earth around with her power, ready for a all out battle. [[NoNonsenseNemesis Zeldoris's]] response? [[spoiler: Why, just use his newly gained power as the D]emon's King representative to lock away Diane magic as Dolor's and force her to the ground by [[OneHitKO JUST KICKING HER IN THE STOMACH!]] [[BadassFamily Yeah, he's Meliodas little brother alright.]]]]
** King and Diane [[spoiler:[[TheBigDamnKiss FINALLY KISS!]]]]
* 216: Two big moments in this chapter. [[spoiler:First, Diane reveals she's been given her memories back, has ''always'' loved King, and the two kiss again.]] [[spoiler:Two, King discovers something wonderful has happened to his back: ''he has finally sprouted wings!'']]
* 219 has two of these involving Merlin. One was somehow creating glasses which block out Escanor HulkingOut in the day, somehtign a ability which caused an area to be covered in never ending night couldn't do and [[spoiler: Zeldris capturing Orlondi which Merlin was using as spy to find Arthur and then Zeldris firing a blast through Orlondi hitting Merlin and not only leaving the only visible injuries that we have ever seen Merlin suffer in series requiring her to destroy the crystal she was using.]]

* 229 Elaine [[spoiler: gets full sized wings when saving Ban from [[ScaledUp Merascylla]], rather than the [[RunningGag baby wings]] her brother has.]]
* Chapter 232. [[spoiler:Meliodas has a SuperpoweredEvilSide that is basically his personality and power from back when he was a legend among demons. He's just spent a chapter and a half fucking up Escanor, even though Escanor is even more hulked out than he was when he crushed Estarossa. It looks like a CurbStompBattle at first, but then Merlin lets the other sins (and the readers) know that Escanor was actually just biding time to reach peak noon, in which for a single minute, he will become an unstoppable, invincible warrior known as The One. And boy, does Escanor deliver. The irises of his eyes ''turn into miniature suns'' and he's essentially become a [[Manga/DragonBallZ Super Saiyan.]] And then The One proceeds to '''one-shot Meliodas at his strongest.''' ''Without even touching him.'']] Bad. Ass.
--> [[spoiler:'''The One:''' Divine Sword: ''Escanor.'']]

--> ''Meliodas'': Those who can't appreciate a quality product shouldn't be allowed to drink it.
* Meliodas catching Gilthunder's lance and [[CatchAndReturn throwing it back to him...]]''to the castle he threw it from in the first place''.

* Chapter 306 then reveals that this has caused all the remaining Demons to retreat, accepting their loss as they return back to the demon realm(Saving Both Slader and the King). Meliodas's actions have singlehandily put an end to the New Holy War.

* And after everyone was worried about Elizabeths curse still being in place now that the Commandments are destroyed, Meliodas revealed he figured out a way to break them while in Purgatory. Merlin then uses Curse Discovery to reveal both of the couples horrifying curses, before Meliodas enters his Supreme form(Now revealed to Rival the Demon Kings power) and unleashes a shere of energy that dissolves the curses into nothing! After so many years, he and Elizabeth are finally free!

Chapter 305, Meliodas WINS! After 60 years, 6,093 losses, and the power of the 10 Commandments, Meliodas finally achieves his Supreme Demon form and kills his father, reclaiming his body.

Even Better? It serves as a nice contrast to 3'000 years ago, where neither he nor Elizabeth could even come close to matching their parents Strength. Now after so long, he has finally gotten rid of his abusive dad.

** An awesome moment follows the one above and negates it to an extent. No shit was really rekted and the demons were playing with Arthur to kill time. Pacifier and Napping completely healed from the attacks and didn't suffer any damage (except for Napping's mustache which does make the former chapter an achievement). Zeldris and Meliodas don't have a single scratch. The attacks the demons landed proved to be so damaging that Arthur couldn't continue fighting due to the strain. The kicker was just by releasing their power the demons caused Arthur and the souls of countless heroes to tremble and cower in fear. The highest ranked demons are so powerful their auras alone are strong enough to cripple not just the once and future king, but also the whole accumulated power of countless human heroes. The previous chapter made it clear that humans aren't to be underestimated, but the same can be said about demons.

* Chapter 257 gets you hyped up for the upcoming all-out battle. As Napping and Pacifier comment, this truly feels like a Holy War.

* The penultimate page of Chapter 285, a 2-page spread featuring Chandler, Cusack, and Zeldoris staring down Escanor, Merlin, and Rueduciel, ready to fight.

* Chapter 268 shows that Ban has, despite who knows how many centuries stuck in Purgatory, getting constantly maimed by the hostile environment, and repeatedly almost losing his sanity and becoming one of the fallen souls transformed by their rage, is [[TheDeterminator still]] looking for Meliodas' emotions. He's also been adapting to the wildlife and environment there, slowly becoming stronger. And his persistence and loyalty are finally rewarded at the end of the chapter by finding Meliodas.
