Yes, being a complete social outcast, a huge walking target, unable to use human architecture and physically incompatible with her love interests hasn't affected her life at all.

I mentioned the prejudices and the buildings. Her being a giant has nothing to do with her thing with King and had nothing to do with why she didn't have a shot with Meliodas. I do give her being a huge target, I didn't think about that.

The closet thing I could see to Meliodas and the others have monster forms is making a giant monster shape out of the darkness they produce, but even that wouldn't really be a transformation.

Edit: The demons' appearances are obviously very variable, even in this group we have a four-armed giant, a girl who's a human torso on a giant mass of cepalaod tentacles, a shadowy masked Eldritch Abomination, and probably something freaky with Galan too. And then the red and Gray demons. Given this variability I don't see why some of them couldn't just look like normal people. I didn't want that to be strength or caste related but I always took it as a given.

Something which may ultimately be trivial I'm really wondering about are the marks that some of them have. Apparently they're family relate because Meliodas and his brothers have the same one but Ass girl has a different one. Fraudrin and the older looking gentleman also have them, but the latter is on his right side where as everyone else save Meliodas have theirs on the left. I thought that was going to be symbolic with him being good an them evil but apparently not. And the girl with the scarf thing and tentacle girl don't have them at all.

Apparently Word of God has confirmed Slader is, in fact, gay.

We needed word of god for that? Like, the only way the series could've been more direct about it was if he started making out with some guy onscreen.

There are a lot of people who won't accept a character being gay unless it's directly stated by the author, no matter how obvious it is.

In a similar situation, there are people who refuse to accept that Ruby and Sapphire in Steven Universe are in a relationship or that they're both "female" even though Word of God has confirmed both the romantic nature of their relationship and that the titular character is going to be the only "male" gem we see in the show.

Then they missed the point of the forbidden union known as fusion.

I wonder if the Three Misfits will believe Hendrickson about Dreyfus and the Meliodas look alikes.

Really, if they're going to destroy these servants I could see one of them going there just to find out what happened.

spoilers.

Griamor attacks Hendry,but he shoulder bumps him out of an attack.

Gil and Hauser attack the Ash Demon,and Gil says he's weaker than Ash Hendry.

Hendry uses a combo with Hauser,not with Acid,but Purge,which is a Druid skill.Apparently Zaratras and Dreyfus were half brothers?

next week i think we get a flashback to Danafor.

I read some more in dept spoilers, it sounds like we're finally about to learn about what happened in Danafor in detail.

Alright. I'm all caught up.

It looks like Hendrickson has some info for us. I don't know what will happen to him, but we'll see soon enough, and we'll learn about Danafor as well.

It's good to see that Hendrickson does remember everything he did when he was being controlled. And we're finally going to learn more about Danafor.

So Purge is a technique and probably not Zaratras' ability as a Holy Knight then.

So instead of finding out what's going on with the Sins we are still stuck with the three stooges and Sir "I wish he died back then".

Eh, at least maybe next chapter we'll learn something interesting.

The thing I'm most interested in is how Meliodas got the dragon handle; look back in the small flashbacks of him in Danafor, he didn't have it then, so it's probably something he got when around the time Danafor was destroyed.

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014

Oh, and confirmation that "Purge" does work on demons. Makes you wonder why he never tried it on Meliodas, especially if he didn't think "Acid" would work.

Wellll it works on demons, but that doesn't mean it works on ALL demons.

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#1043: Apr 20th 2015 at 3:44:49 PM

Still worth a shot. He didn't think "Acid" would work either but he still used it on him.

Possibly it doesn't work right if you have demon blood yourself.

Arha Since: Jan, 2010
#1045: Apr 20th 2015 at 4:57:40 PM

Or even if he tried it before taking on the red demon's blood, it might have cured his own possession, which Fraudrin wouldn't want.

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#1046: Apr 20th 2015 at 5:09:30 PM

Or it could just be because Meliodas isn't evil. Any of the things you said would also be good. I'm not too bothered by it I just like explanations for why characters don't use abilities they have reasons to believe will work in certain situations. A throwaway line here would be good.

Also, Hendrickson was corrupted then. Would he even have access to the ability in such a state?

HamburgerTime Since: Apr, 2010
#1048: Apr 21st 2015 at 3:24:26 PM

Yeah, I'm guessing it didn't work while he was corrupted.

Chapter was decent but I'm not sure this fight needed a whole chapter. It's just a King Mook after all.

But yay flashback!

All I want to know is where Hendy got that cool outfit. Last time we saw him he was butt naked.

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#1050: Apr 21st 2015 at 3:32:03 PM

No he wasn't; he had pants. The logical answer to that is that he just stole them from someone else but that kind of goes against his whole redemption thing.
