The Seven Deadly Sins (Nanatsu no Taizai)

Well, at least this way we know Gowther can fix things with there still being conflict.

Like I said before, I can't image they won't run into them but they also can't find them here so who knows how that's going to be resolved. IF Fraudrin wasn't there I could see them just ignoring them but he is so...

I also don't image they won't make it to Mega Doozer so maybe Diane goes around them but the others won't.

If anything this is probably a way to give more names and power levels via Meliodas and Hawk.

Don't you guys think it's super incontinent that this happens while Merlin is in a state where she probably can't instantly teleport them to Diane?

Would she be able to do that anyway? I doesn't seem like she teleports to people specifically so much to locations. Plus, it seems like she can still use most of her magic, she can't just return her body to normal.

I don't see any reason why she couldn't do that. Like, maybe she couldn't drop them right on top of Diane, but it's not like they're having any trouble tracking her/don't know where she's going.

I really hope Merlin isn't incontinent, personally.

Anyone find it weird that Mel/Diane is apparently more popular than King/Diane, but King is vastly more popular than Mel?

Shipping can be totally unrelated to fan favorites. It usually isn't, but sometimes it is.

I'm usually content to go with the pairings the author themselves are pushing, usually because I don't think about the subject enough to care one way or the other.

Unless it's something that just comes off as really abusive or terrible I'm good with whatever.

Neither pairing is at all interesting given that they're so one sided and undramatic. They don't even get a special cute exemption.

I'm not sure I'd call him "terrible" but Mel does seem like a kind of a cruddy boyfriend. Half the time it seems like he's only with Liz for her body.

At least King would care about, you know, you.

Eh, he and Elizabeth aren't in a relationship. If they were and his behavior stayed the same I would mind, but since they aren't, I just chalk it up to standard manga perviness that I dislike have accepted as standard for now.

It occurs to me that they should be meeting up with Hendrickson and Gilthunder and his group soon if they're really heading towards Edinburgh.

That should be interesting.

Spoilers.

Forgetting her days with Harlequin, Diane returned to the home of the giants clan and worked under the warrior chief Matrona.

Her kindness passes off as foolishness in the warmongering tribe.

She found a good person to speak with: Dolores, a tiimid girl.

Matrona evaluated Diane's character.The latter dislikes that and leaves the village with Dolores.

…or they were supposed to, but Dolores decided to stay home, scared of the outside world too.

Consequently, Diane walked alone on a road and then met humans.This is where she met Meliodas.

Happy to know that there are persons out there that accept her, Diane returns to the village.

But she finds that Dolores has died.

The latter was dispatched alone as a guard per Matrona's orders and got attacked by brigands.

Diane vents her anger on Matrona but receives a beating strike in return.

Coming night, Diane falls asleep holding a wild flower.

She dreams of holding hands with her loved one… but can't remember his face

Huh.Two parter Gaiden?No hint of Sin yet.

Some more stuff

So for those of you who read the original one shot which do you prefer that Meliodas and Elizabeth or the ones from the actual story?

I have to say I like how one shot Meliodas came off as smarter and more serious, though I wouldn't like it if Meliodas became as much as straight man as him. I've also seen someone say they were disappointed by Lostvayne when they compared it to the "sword" he had in the one shot but that thing was just too ridiculous for me to take serious.

I have to say I unilaterally prefer manga!Elizabeth to oneshot!Elizabeth. She may be more of a generic princess but oneshot!Elizabeth just came off as a stupid slob. Didn't like her very much.

Diane Gaiden out on Mangastream.

So we got some species info in this chap.

Good to know there's more than one group of Giants around. A single village of giants wouldn't make sense even for a long lived species like them.

So Matrona mentions that Diane has the potential to be even more powerful than their great ancestors. The ones who fought in the great war. Maybe the key to Diane's power-up is just letting out what she's been unable to because of her personality.

Hidden Potential should be a trope.

So was that creepy fairy in the black dress, Gerhard, male or female? The name seems masculine but the clothes seem feminine.

Female. And apparently the name is the feminine form of Gerard in German.

Thanks. I was thinking she might be either a Creepy Crossdresser or just a really eccentrically-dressed male to highlight being evil.

Redhawk translation out, which is better, of course.

I didn't comment about it at the time, but I think I'm glad Matrona has obvious nasty scars.

So Matrona continues the grand anime tradition of mentors and parental figures (and sometimes parents) being assholes.

Ah tradition! What would we be without it?

I don't think she's really that bad, honestly. I mean, yeah, she's a dick from our cultural perspective but to her Diane just sounds like some whiny NEET who refuses to work for a living. She gave Dolores an out as well, but she wasn't willing to take it. "Don't want to be a warrior? Fine, just settle down and a have a family." How monstrous.

Dolores' death is kind of her own fault. She had three ways she could have avoided it. Four if you count not being a sissy and actually fighting back.
