In all likelihood, yes. In which case, it makes you question if perhaps the demons had a hand in triggering his rage somehow. Granted, they were locked up until now, but still...

What was the match again? Mind's a little scattered right now...

Merlin did make him that medicine after all but whatever he has in him seems to be stronger than his own mind.

Well, the fact Meliodas looks different on the wanted poster and Elizabeth had a dream about that figure instead of the Meliodas we know are some good hints that the Commandments played some sort of role in that event. The Commandments also seem both surprised and impressed by what they are seeing so they might not underestimate the Sins.

Ban vs. Younger Toguro.

Good observation there. I wonder if the demon could be extracted from him?

Sure seems that way. But at the same time, taking into consideration what he said after he was stopped... just what exactly is afflicting him? It almost seems like some kind of psychic takeover.

Possibly. Perhaps they simply weren't expecting that kind of destruction in the human world. And considering how powerful Meliodas is in a partially transformed state combined with how scared he seemed of the seal being broken, chances are they're much more powerful than even him transformed.

Ah right, that. Honestly not too sure. I might give the strength/durability advantage to Toguro, but Ban has regen and immortality, not to mention physical hunt...

Possibly. If it can get in him then surely it can come out.

Just caught up, and i must say that at this early, a lot of characters are monstrous. I mean Gowther and Merlin just got introduced and their abilities are pretty broken.

Yeah, NnT is pretty powerful for a relatively new shounen manga. But as I said in an earlier post, I like how the characters are already established warriors since it makes the story cut to the chase. The broken abilities also show the Sins can do more than just deliver brute force. They can really mess up opponents who aren't prepared.

Yep. And while they goof around a lot, they're pretty experienced warriors too, knowing how some abilities work from the get-go.

The goofing around also usually catches their opponents off guard. The Commandments seem to have similar personalities so I can't wait to see how the fights with them will turn out.

Sometimes. They could've and should've taken down Guila when they first encountered her, but didn't until King drove her off.

I guess we'll find out.

This week's chapter was pretty weird, don't you think? Gowther is really a doll? WTF?!? Also, the way Meliodas blew off Elizabeth was really uncharacteristic of him as well, even if it was to protect her. To top things off, Merlin teleporting Hawk Mama into battle was just bizarre. But on the other hand, it shows what a fertile imagination Suzuki has.

Threader is a decent stand in for the Sins. His mask also makes me think of the Stone Masks from the first two parts of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

I think him blowing her off that way is kinda natural; by acting like an uncaring jerk, he hopes she'll back off, though clearly it's not working. And yeah, wasn't expecting him to be a doll... though I suppose it makes sense considering his personality and strange inability to bleed.

Agreed.

Yet another awesome chapter! So, this golem, Great Beast Albion, is a leftover weapon used by the demon clan from the ancient war. Threader even states he can sense demonic energy coming from it and it awoke from dormancy around the time the Ten Commandments were unsealed. It was smart thinking on Merlin's part to set up a force field around the city but the yield of it sacrificed the strength of it since the golem destroyed it with three punches. Fortunately, Meliodas's Full Counter blew back its fireball. He breaks the sword from Liz freeing Arthur from the golem's grasp but Merlin throws him his Sacred Treasure. It's one really cool looking sword!

Yep! And now we'll finally be able to see Meliodas unleash his base form's full power!

Well i guess it's safe to say that the golem is screwed. So Merlin is steering (tk?) Hawk Mama while shielding the city and teleporting Meliodas. Pretty impressive. I do have this nagging feeling about her, i just can't pinpoint whether she's the most loyal or will soon be a traitor. Hope i'm wrong about the latter.

I think she's loyal, just amibiguous.

I think a gaiden for her is in order here.

Possibly.

And new chapter out. Holy hell, Meliodas is an absolute beast with that sacred treasure of his!

Damn, he literally made sashimi out of the golem's arm! The cloning technique was quite a surprise as well. Seeing his Sacred Treasure in action didn't disappoint at all. Suzuki is quite good on delivering jumps in power.

WTF?!? There's another golem attacking the Fairy Forest?

Yep. Now just imagine him using some of his demon power on top of having his sacred treasure...

Honestly, I'm not too surprised by this second golem's appearance.

That's a damn scary thought to think about. That's probably the power that created the 30,000 foot crater.

Ban and King are going to have their work cut out for them against this golem. It looks like an Evangelion and probably is as tall as one.

Possibly. And chances are there have to be threats to Meliodas even when he is in such a state...

And more powerful than one too.

Despite being rejected by the other fairies, King still takes on the golem. Hopefully this will make up for his past with them. This opponent won't be easy since its casual swings are tearing up the forest and it can emit an energy beam from its mouth.

Wow, didn't expect that coming. Gerharde wants to use Ban as the new Fountain of Youth? That's pretty morbid.
