Dunno, they seem rather petty.
Seems so. As it is, his very blood is already restoring the forest at a rapid pace.

Well, they do look surprised King is risking his life for them. But what they still don't realize (Except for Gerharde) Ban doesn't really give a damn for them. He just wants Elaine back to life and the forest thriving off his blood is just a by product of his intentions.
Indeed. Jericho and King are also the only ones who can save him right now unless Ban has something up his sleeve.

Ouch! It was painful seeing King powering up Chastiefol but it was the only way to stop the golem. He was also able to redeem himself to the other fairies.
Ban's not trapped anymore. Did Jericho cut him loose or could it have been from the golem swiping the tree? After this, he might want to take Elaine elsewhere since it seems like something bad is always happening to the forest. It might be a push for him to rejoin the Sins.
The next chapter is titled The Ten Commandments Begin To Move. This is gonna be epic for sure.

I think they do know, because he keeps saying he's just there to help Elaine.
And yep, King sure has pulled out all the stops to kill that golem.
Oh yeah, wonder how these ten commandments will do things. Especially the two that look like Meliodas...

The one that looks like Arakune from BlazBlue will probably have some crazy hax techniques since that's usually the standard for characters like that. Same with that girl with the tentacles. The two giant demons look like they'll give Diane a run for her money if they take her on and the one who likes saying "ass" could be a rival for Merlin. And yeah, the two who look like Meliodas I am wondering about as well. Good thing Meliodas has Lost Vayne back and he can take both of them on with its cloning attribute.

Possibly. Given how big a power boost rookies got just from drinking a bit of demon blood and that these Ten Commandments are undoubtedly higher up on the foodchain than the red and possibly even grey demon, I'd say they'd be more than a match for the Sins at first. Even if Meliodas now has his sacred treasure back.

New chapter out. Yeah... I don't think Meliodas' sacred treasure will mean much anymore...

I had a feeling there would be a catch with it since his clones don't have the same strength as the original but it's also something to bring up to those who think the manga is overpowered.
Galan looks even more like an Evangelion than the golem King killed, especially with his lanky figure coupled with how his armor looks. Those extremely high jumps he took to get to Camelot are also characteristic of those mechs.

I suppose so. But given his ability for all of his clones to use Full Counter, it's still pretty overpowered.
Sort of, only more medieval-esque. But it's armor, so who knows what he looks like under it. But damn, and isn't he supposed to still be in a weakened state?

Anyone reading the manga and following the anime? With the anime ending, which chapter should I start with the manga with? Any huge changes between the two (story)?

Try around chapter 88 or so. That should be where the anime is more or less at, give or take a few chapters.

Yeah, Galan himself said he has gotten slow despite how mind-blowing those jumps were. He'a definitely still strong since Hawk states his power level is 26,000 and the closing title states that those who stand up to him face destruction. Just a glimpse of him sent a chill down Diane's spine despite how tough we know her to be.
The anime's actually ending on chapter 100. The anime is more or less faithful to the manga so you can easily jump into it after the anime is done but there are some scenes that didn't get animated and some small changes so I still recommend reading the entire manga.

Yeah. Just imagine when his powers are fully restored too! Wouldn't surprise me if he'd have a power level of 100,00 or close to that at full strength.
Agreed, some of the scenes in the manga that weren't in the anime would definitely help you better understand how some other scenes occurred since the anime doesn't really provide much context sometimes.

The anime started off faithfully but after the Baste Prison arc, it went into overdrive and only cared about highlighting the fight scenes. Don't get me wrong, the animation is beautiful, the music is inspired, and I would still buy it on DVD but the manga is still the superior version.

Even then the fights scenes often lack the sort of impact its manga counterpart has.
On another note, side story with the vampires now complete. Wow, Escanor has quite an interesting ability while also revealing a few more details about Meliodas.

There were edits even in the fights such as when they cut short the tournament fight between Meliodas and Diane, the kingdom infiltration arc was missing Gowther and Threader's brief fight, and only Dreyfus took on Hendricksen when Griamor joined him in the manga. Atleast there's still a reason to read the books.
That was certainly an awesome gaiden. I wonder if it will be released with one of the tankobans or if it will be its own. Either way, I hope Kodansha Comics will bring it over here.
Escanor was scary strong but he can only use his power when the sun rises. The fact it's light based rather than darkness makes me think he could have druid blood like Elizabeth. We also find out the reasons why for that melted building and the deep crater. Further more, I had a feeling there was a connection between Meliodas and Zeldris since they looked similar but to learn that they are brothers is quite a revelation.

Yep. Not to mention they took out Oslo and a bunch of other stuff.
Considering Bandit Ban was, I'm sure it will be, but not until later volumes.
Maybe. Out of the sins, he's said to be the only one that is apparently human, so maybe it's just his special power, just like how Meliodas has Full Counter and Ban has his Snatch. As it is though, the fact he's considered the most powerful of the sins at noon is surprising, though I don't know if that includes Meliodas' demon power.
Not really. It was pretty clear they were related somehow, though I just wonder how exactly Meliodas being a good guy and a failure/disappointment to Zeldris fits in to all of this.

Not exactly. They didn't animate his initial appearance in the manga (Which I would've loved to see) but they animated the part where he teleported Diane through his mouth, which was a hilarious scene!
I wish the release schedule was every month rather than every other month but I guess since the market recovered from the big saturation point a couple years back, publishers are taking things slow.
Where did you read about Escanor being the only human among the Sins? I don't recall that unless I missed something in the gaiden.
Yeah, I should've expected that. Why else would they look so similar?
New chapter's out and Galan's even more of a monster than I expected. As Threader (Slater in the official translation) feared, he does make Hendricksen look cute in comparison. He destroyed a good chunk of Camelot with a casual swing of his dragoon lance (I predicted he would do something like that), impaled a Meliodas clone and deduced where the others would attack almost like he had pre-cognition, choked Meliodas in his grasp, kicked back a swing from Gideon into a full sized Diane's forehead, and jumped back after Merlin teleported him.
Even Merlin's powers have their limits.
Next chapter will have thirty pages as well as some color shots. Right on!

Still, he all but came out of nowhere for that scene.
Still, it's better than nothing.
Ah, someone read about it and posted it on TV Tropes under his character profile. You can probably find it under the trivia section or something of his wiki page.
Yep.
I know, right? What's more is that his power (i.e. his magical strength) is completely depleted, meaning physical strength must make up a majority of his power level. Not only that, but from how other characters act, if your magical power is low, then your own strength might suffer too (i.e. you become physically exhausted and therefore can't use much of your strength), so...
It's going to be epic.

True, and as I said, publishers are taking things slower since they don't want to risk going into the red. The oversaturation almost killed the market according to some articles that I read about it and the publishing rights to a lot of series are pretty much gone.
Read the TV Tropes page. I'll have to look through that Fanbook.
Yeah, he's generating a lot of air pressure with his swings like how Younger Toguro could do with his punches and, looking back over the scene, he actually jumped away from Merlin's teleportation rather than back from it. That shows that Merlin's teleportation isn't instant but that she needs to have it come in contact with her opponents. Zeldris did say they should recover their energy and tried to stop Galan from going so it's likely he'll have a limit despite his power but the Sins still need to hold fast.
Suzuki's a damn manga machine. You can tell he truly lives and breathes art.
