My guess is that she is currently occupying the gate to the Demon Realm itself. Meaning that even if Meliodas and Ban manage to get past the Demon King, they will still have to deal with Meliodas' mother-in-law.

She's probably still in Heaven or the heavenly equivalent of Purgatory(The closest layer to Heaven is the Earthly Paradise) and it's where the those not irrdemable but have shed their sins ascend to Heaven.

I think she's either in Eli's earring or Rosa, the lady that saved Escanor.

Just Caught up yesterday

Its interesting there's been more of a mixed bag of reviews after the place where S1 ended in the manga. I liked the series generally well for the first 2 seasons, although S2 wasnt that well adapted apparently but once I got into the manga my interest skyrocketed.

Since Chapter 246 Ive really been hooked. It's interesting that Meliodas right now is kind of the antagonist to the seven deadly sins and that Elizabeth directly went against him and is opposing him. Post memories Elizabeth has been a lot better to me and Im loving Ban right now.

Also Idk if it was just me but I figured the whole thing with merlin looking younger was reverting her to the age when she got the blessings. Since she is a normal human and stopped aging at 30 I dont think her true form is Loli despite the age difference relationships elsewhere.

Also Idk if it's just me but I see Escanor as a more tragic character because when he's in his sun form, he is for the most part and empty shell with merlin being his only tie-in. His pride is a barrier to the alienation he got. Who cares what these people think they're beneathme and I think Arthur and Merlin's relationship is causing his to re-analyze his world view as All-Bright

I just realized that Elizabeth was talking openly about her relationship with Meliodas when Mael was a kid, but him seeing them together happened when he was an adult.

So how long were they dating before Meliodas just went "Fuck it, I'm turning traitor"?

Elizabeth's relationship is 'extreme doormat' with Mel to begin with, but seriously, how many of her people was he slaughtering during this little love affair?

^^, ^ I was under the impression that it didn't actually happen like that and that his memory was just badly confused. I mean, he decided that he's not Estarossa and therefore he must be Meliodas, I don't think he can be said to be terribly reliable when it comes to get information across to everyone. He's not exactly in a good place right now.

[up][up]But this time it wasn't his memory, it was Elizabeth's. She remembered having this conversation about the dog, which how she went to "wait, if Estarossa was the name of my dog, then what's this guys real name?" It seems like the only thing we're supposed to see different it what he actually looks like.

For all her talks of peace you’d think she’d tell her boyfriend to stop being such a warmonger really early on.

Then again she can’t even tell him to stop molesting her so who knows.

We don't know if he was still killing her kind after they were seeing each other to begin with. Only that he was before he fell in love.

Chapter out: Poor Mael. sad

Seriously, what Gowther did to him is despicable beyond words. Seeing the whole thing from his perspective just drives home the tragedy of it.

Also, I laughed at the fact that Rudociel was a better brother than Meliodas eve was.

What he did was truly unforgivable.

"Freeing the souls trapped in their cells of filth" huh. That's... interesting. The implications would help clear up some of the doubts about how demons seem to work.

90% odds on doll Gowther not having the faintest idea what demon Gowther's spell would really do and that he just lent daddy some power because he trusted him completely.

Edit: Wait, no, that's probably just referring to how demons eat souls. Never mind. I was thinking something more like being an artificial race that were almost all cursed.

Sariel and Tarmiel said something similar in the flashback. It makes sense really; demons seem to actually be Made of Evil so it's not particularly surprising that the goddesses view killing them as actually helping them.

This could apply to the mindless mooks that compose the majority of the clan. The higher ranked demons though might be another thing

All demons have minds, some are more developed, and intelligent, than others. The fact Elizabeth can communicate with the Color ones and make them give into their desire to not fight is proof of that. Grayroad even lays eggs that need other creatures as hosts. Showing that the color ones have a parasitic lifestyle.

It's just a way to embrace Fantastic Racism without having his brother question all the death he causes.

That said, there's a mistake in blaming Doll Gowther with what he know. Gowther the demon used the spell and it took all the magic of his creation and his own life. And he did this precisely to end the war in a stalemate because of what Meliodas did to save his people and not to kill the Goddesses. Demon Gowther is an enemy of the Demon King too and the Demon King viewed him as such because Memory Magic is so OP.

So blame Meliodas for fucking everything up.

Honestly, expecting Demon Gowther to care about Mael's mental anguish ignores his goals. He clearly intended to rid the world of both races, so demon or goddess, Mael was doomed.
