In Arthurian mythos Gowther is Merlin's half-bro iirc. From what I'm gathering is that Gowther is a construct created by Merlin.

As for Escanor being a villain I wouldn't be surprised. Escanor is the only one of the sins named after a evil douchebag from Arthurian mythos.

Also, Pride is traditionally not the nicest of the sins. Granted they've all had some kind of twist to them so far..

I'm disappointed that Hawk came back. I mean, his death would have meant little from a meta perspective, but it's still kinda annoying.

Can you make up your mind, Rob?

Gowther had a normal speech bubble when noting that his armor was destroyed. I think he probably had that armor for a very good reason.

To be fair, I was only wondering if they'd really do it, not saying they shouldn't.

Though admittedly, Hawk is unimportant enough as a target that it's irrelevant if he lives or dies.....wait? What gender is Hawk anyway?

I'm just saying, first it's "it'd be mean-spirited" and now "tney should've done it".

At any rate, very good arc, but no way are we done here. Something's gonna happen.

Hawk for new big bad. It's the only reasonable explanation.

Fair enough. I guess I somewhat changed my mind without realizing it.

So this was the first arc, huh? I liked it very, very much. I'm really interested in what comes next.

Really, one of the few shonen arcs that matches Toriko's cooking festival in recent memory...

So Guila really is the only New Generation who kept her powers.

And it seems that this isn't the same Hawk, but a new one from what I could understand.

I'm not sure why, but I kinda what Gil to be attacked and executed by the people he hurt. I mean, yeah, he admits he did horrible things, but sometimes, people shouldn't be forgiven, and it'd be interesting to see a Redemption Quest utterly fail from the get go.

Guess I'm just a mean guy.

101 and 102 out.

Yeah, I'm definitely starting to see how Gowther might have become the sin of lust and why he needs that armor.

I wonder if that makes him an incubus or something? Though an incubus would be a demon and Meliodas is probably a special snowflake.

Maybe Growther is actually Merlin's father since weren't wizards/legendary Merlin born from succubi/incubi? tongue

I thought of that too, yeah. That's one of the reasons given for why Merlin gets to be a good guy despite using magic in some Arthurian legends. Would also explain why he seems to have a connection with Merlin.

[up][up]According to original legend, Gowther is Merlin's half-brother

Heh, yeah, I agree. I want to see him struggle. Him being immediately forgiven would be way too cheap.

another theory about Gowther is that he's some kind of possessing creature.like a poltergeist,only more alive.

Two chapters at the same time? Hell yeah!

...Gowther, you dog! Nice going there. He was always interested in romance so it's not surprising.

I think Gowther might be a homunculi created by Merlin.

Hell yeah Merlin joins back into the team. I love that, she's great.

Someone stole the gate. Cue dramatic sting.

Oh and it's the eve of Festival, the same as ten years ago. I wonder if something will happen again.

Well, I'd say that no-one would try anything with six of the seven deadly sins there, but that didn't stop them before. And more to the point, we already suspect one of them to be a traitor.

I think the answers to that question will come soon enough.

Gowther, what are you freaking doing??!! O.O

Diane and King are really cute together, I'm loving Merlin and I'm interested about what Ban is planning right now. The new arc is going to be interesting.

I'm pretty sure she wouldn't be giving him that look if he wasn't.

That being said, maybe she just really likes him and there's been no sex whatsoever.
