* Chapter 248: Meliodas and Elizabeth's fierce argument about Meliodas wanting to become [[spoiler:Demon King]]. As the [[spoiler:Demon King]] is far too powerful to remain in Britannia, it essentially means that [[spoiler:breaking the curse as Demon King would eternally separate them with no hope of reconciliation]]. She's clearly heartbroken at the idea, [[spoiler:begging Meliodas to not leave her forever]], but that pales in comparison to when [[spoiler:Meliodas tells her that he believes her feelings were ingrained in her soul by the Supreme Deity, so when he breaks it, she'll be able to move on from him]], which leads to...
** [[spoiler:Elizabeth tearfully asking why then did Meliodas still seek her out for all those years. The fact that Meliodas has gotten so cynical and dark as to believe such a thing and tell her about it in her face has broken her heart to where for the first time, she actually seems close to giving up. Even Meliodas, with what little emotion remains left in him, clearly sees he's gone too far, but cannot offer any comfort due to how reduced his emotions were besides admitting he could only ever love her and expressing it felt real to him... Until the harsh reality returns and Meliodas makes it clear he won't be persuaded]].

The original Gowther believed that to make sure that the Holy War ended, he needed to give the demons an equivalent champion, since Mael was more powerful than his Archangel brothers.

Zeldris believed that Gelda had been killed by the Sins according to a local farmer that was at the site, but an emotionless Meliodas whispered to him that he resealed her because Gelda was on the verge of suicide, realizing Zeldris wasn't in this world.

* Gowther's backstory all of it
** Everyone knew that he said he wasn't human but rather a doll. It turns out that his maker was the actual Gowther, a NobleDemon who was the Commandment of selflessness. He asked his doll to help in a scheme that would seal away the demons and end the Holy War. Our Gowther begged him PleaseDontLeaveMe, knowing that his maker would die in the process. His maker reassured him by giving him a metallic heart, that he wouldn't be alone.
** Several thousand years later, Bartra's sister Nadja was exploring the caverns under the castle. She finds a sleeping Gowther who awakens semi-naked. He's confused because he last remembered the great battle. Gowther has a little breakdown on realizing he's been asleep for millennia, and more so when he finds his maker's wheelchair.
** Bartra brings Gowther to the castle in disguise, asking him to wear a maid outfit, after the latter rescues an unconscious Nadja. He comes to respect the doll and appreciates how he makes his little sister happy. When Gowther is accused of raping and murdering Nadja, Bartra is the only one who speaks in his defense but is helpless to stop the execution. It explains why he's happy to see him many years later.
** Nadja's death. In the anime, she and Gowther don't have TheirFirstTime; instead, she kisses him and her heart gives out. She collapses, as Gowther goes PleaseWakeUp. He screams in agony, alerting the guards, and doing all he can to make her heart beat. When he fails, he removes his own heart and tries to insert it into her body. It doesn't work, and he says with agony why he can't save anyone he loves.
* Gowther, after remembering all this, tries to erase his own memories again. Diane tackles him and tells him YouAreNotAlone. She says that if you erase the painful memories, you also take away the good ones. Gowther is shaken to realize she's right.

* Fraudrin's death, mainly with when we learn ''why'' Meliodas wanted him dead. He's about to do a suicidal spell that would wipe out everyone, only for Griamore in child-form to attempt to shield his fellow comrades from the blast. Fraudrin recalled raising Griamore while possessing Dreyfus, and couldn't do it. He orders Griamore to go back to his father, then faces Meliodas with a HeelRealization, asking for death. Meliodas complies, finally avenging Liz after all these years.
* The two-part episode where Meliodas reveals that [[spoiler:he and Elizabeth are cursed to fall in love and be separated, with her death]]. He sounds particularly broken and unlike himself, especially when Elizabeth's eyes both have the goddess symbol and she speaks of remembering Merlin as a child. Some highlights:
** Zeldris actually has the gall to blame Elizabeth for causing his brother's suffering. She doesn't understand, explaining how Meliodas is precious to her. He decides he may as well speed up the reincarnation, and blasts her with the memories, so as to rip the Bandaid off. Zeldris isn't even being cruel about it; he's angry on Meliodas's behalf.
** Merlin is at her most serious in this episode. When Diane happily says that it means Elizabeth and the Captain are reunited after three thousand years, Merlin snaps at her and explains that Elizabeth regaining her memories is actually terrible.
** The first time both Elizabeth and Meliodas died, Meliodas woke up happy, having a HopeSpot that if he's alive then maybe she could be. Her body was still, however, and Meliodas could only hold her close while giving a SkywardScream.
** At one point, Elizabeth regained her memories, when she was a child. Meliodas went OhCrap, for a good reason. Three days later, she was trapped in a burning house and Meliodas tried to save her but her father grabbed him, saying he shouldn't die either. Elizabeth died alone, and in pain.
** In another reincarnation, Elizabeth grew to old age. Her memories never awoke, and it's implied she became a grandmother. On her deathbed, she asks a crying Meliodas obliviously to forget about her and move on.
** Liz's death is painful when you get OnceMoreWithClarity and we actually see the full circumstances. Merlin had been working with Meliodas to find a way to break the curse; she's determined that only Zeldris could do so, and that would mean freeing the Ten Commandments. Meliodas in one of his SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments ''defied'' AlwaysSaveTheGirl and said it would not only endanger Brittania but also Zeldris would never end their curse. He had no idea that a demon-worshipping wizard had freed Fraudrin, who used the Danafall citizens as a HumanSacrifice to break the seal. Liz came across the sight while looking for Meliodas, and spent her last moments losing in a CurbStompBattle to Fraudrin, who tried to take her blood. Fortunately or unfortunately, Meliodas appeared and knocked Fraudrin away before he could use Liz's blood to take the seal. Then he just ''snapped'' with the weight of it all, knowing that this had happened 106 times before, causing Danafall to fall and Fraudrin's physical body to be destroyed. It suddenly makes sense why he coolly curbstomped Fraudrin the second time they met and showed no mercy.
** EverybodyCries when they hear the full story; even Gowther with his heart restored is sober. Merlin explains somberly that she's been looking for a cure for Meliodas for years. Their only choice may be to reason with Zeldris, if that's even possible.

* Chapters 230 to 247: [[spoiler: Elizabeth, with all her memories back, is constantly worrying about Meliodas.

The saddest part is that she's putting his life before her own, despite knowing that when she dies he will go through the same suffering he has endured for three millennia. It's no wonder why Meliodas is currently obsessed with breaking the curse.]]

He then asks Meliodas to kill him, which he goes with such sadism that everyone around them is horrified, and even Merlin admits he didn't deserve to go out like that.]]
