I enjoyed this volume!

Escanor is my 7th favorite sin knight, but that doesn't mean I don't like him. This was a pretty sad volume for him though, but commendable.

And jusko, ang lakas ni Elizabeth. I'm glad for the "character development". It suits her better.

I won't be throwing my life away. I'll be risking it for the sake of The Seven Deadly Sins. If they're going to risk their lives fighting for others then I want to risk my life fighting for them!

また会えるよになった！やった！
七つの大罪も皆さんは相変わらずカッコイイ。

メリオダスと魔人王の戦うシーンはすごくカッコイイ。

エスかノールのシーンは泣かせた。頑張れ！諦めないで！

Not as flawless as the last volume, but great anyway!

The fights were as clean and cool as ever, the Indura is fucking TERRIFYING to look at, and Escanor continues to be Bescanor which I will always applaud. I don't know if I've mentioned this earlier, but I am very proud of Elizabeth's character growth and it really shines here.

One issue that I have is that Zel and Meliodas's relationship is constantly told through flashbacks and because of this it's hard to really connect with them. Not that it's bad and you can still understand where both of them are emotionally, but you don't get the same feelings that you would if you were watching this build through the present. The same goes for Zel's relationship with Gelda, I kind of feel like that was thrown in to offer a parallel between Zel and Meliodas.

Also, why are we three volumes away from the ending and we are only NOW seeing Ban's sacred treasure? Why the FUCK wasn't that given to him sooner?? I hope we get an explanation later outside of the one give by the Queen of Asspulls Merlin (still love her, though).

Despite my gripes, this was a great volume that has me pumped for the next volume. Can't wait!

This volume was amazing, with the demon lord having taken over Zelordis body its upto Meliodas and the 7DS to save the day and all of them. This volume focuses on demon lord's return as he is still adjusting to this body and his power is being restored while the 7DS are busy fighting Indula and Meliodas is fighting Demon Lord. There are great moments like Ban getting his sacred object and knocking down the baby Indula monsters at such ferocity and then the part with Escanor was heroic, even though he lost all his power, he continued to save the trinity of royal knights and what a heroic display he wants until Mael comes in and saves him and he asks for "Sunshine" one last time to save his friends. And the battle between Meliodas and DL in the Salisbury Lake is amazing, they fight and he is smacking him and calling for Zelodris soul but by the end DL gets his full power and that transformation is epic and seems like more trouble is heading their way, until all 7DS come together and its such an emotional scene. This volume was just so epic!!

Es que no tomo bastante disfrutable, Meliodas y Elizabeth hacen buen sinergia, la parte de Escanor es buenísimo al fin le dieron algo de desarrollo a uno de los personajes más geniales de todos.
La conexión entre Zeldris y Meliodas sigue sin parecerme algo congruente con la historia, la culpa de Meliodas se siente muy artificial, aún en esa situación se siente plano.
La pelea está buena, pero como que es una copia de la anterior, no hay algo muy diferente y la resolución es muy obvia.

[Timothy Pitkin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good build up and some really cool action as we seen Elizabeth and Meliodas fight together. We finally get to see some more about Zeldris and when he looked up to Meliodas and about how manipulative the Demon King can be. Also really cool to see weak Escanor get some time to shine without his sunshine power.

Duo bersaudara ini memang demen pasangan yg lebih tinggi LOL
Di penghujung pertarungan nanatsu taizai, Nakaba sensei mencoba mengajak menyelami masa lalu Zeldris serta hubungannya yg dipulihkan dengan Meliodas.
Suka sekali artwork Nakaba sensei saat pertemuan Meliodas dg ayahnya di danau serta pertemuan para 5 deadly sins melawan indura.

[Amidori · Rating 3 out of 5]

Siento que la historia se está poniendo bastante floja, como que me están metiendo a la fuerza que Meliodas se siente culpable por zeldris (el cuál sorprendentemente resultó ser un amor) como que la pelea se me hace aburrida, de repente me sacan el tesoro sagrado de ban que no habían sacado en toda la serie porque sino ban hubiera estado rotisimo...

1. This is the longest epilogue in the history of manga.
2. This is the best epilogue in the history of manga.

There are sooooooo many fan-wishes and secrets unlocked in this section, I'm astonished. Every new chapter overwhelms the ones before. Can't wait for the final conclusion.

i hope that if zeldoris manage to win his body back we wouldn't find the demon king possessing someone else and starting allover again
it could'v ended from the first time !!!

4/5 stars

I don't know how to feel about this one.
Glad the story is not ending where last volume left us, but this still feels way too easya nd inconsequential, so far.

[Isel · Rating 4 out of 5]

This brothers really like tall girls 🤣
Where is Gelda anyways? She's needed right now. I'm pretty sure she's the only one who can reach Zeldris

[Diana Montes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Muy al final nos enteramos de la existencia de Gelda.

[Alessandra Ceravolo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Molto intensa la battaglia tra Meliodas ed Elizabeth contro il re dei demoni nel corpo di Zeldris ma anche il combattimento tra i Seven Deadly Sins e i demoni. Mi dispiace che Zeldris abbia concesso inconsciamente il controllo del suo corpo al re dei demoni ma mi ha fatto sorridere l’arrivo dei Seven Deadly Sins in soccorso a Meliodas ed Elizabeth.

[Anastasia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mi piace molto l'evoluzione che ha avuto Elizabeth, anche se lenta all'inizio e velocissima poi. Però, data la sua backstory, ha perfettamente senso. I disegni, a volte concentrati su semplici sguardi, mi stanno rimanendo impressi.
Questi ultimi volumi mi stanno tenendo col fiato sospeso, mi sono anche fatta un piantino per Escanor

[Mert · Rating 3 out of 5]

3/5 Stars (%66/100)

I'm seeing a pattern and find it very annoying. The Demon King is not dead, of course, (what a surprise everyone) and now possesses Zeldris. Meliodas and Elizabeth fight him alone for a while while the Sins fight an Indura and its offspring (the scene with Escanor was amazing btw). Ban gets his Sacred Treasure after 300+ chapters. The pattern was Meliodas trying to do things alone and the Sins joining and saying "captain don't ignore us we're here too." This happened so many times and for the Sins to be able to keep up with Meliodas (who is too op), they all get power-ups. It was okay for a couple times but now I'm like uuggghh again...

[The Book Dragon · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Demon King has Zeldris's body and is using an illusion of Gelda to keep him pacified. Meanwhile, the Seven Deadly Sins are busy fighting an Indura (super big, super bad, super uh-oh monster). Meanwhile, Meliodas and Elizabeth sneak off to fight the Demon King.

And for some reason, Hawk's mom said something about the King being born, but that silhouette looked an awful lot like Arthur who is dead(?). Are we about to have a 'King in the Mountain' thing happen?

Edit: And I just found out there's only 3 books left...time to panic!

This series has 41 volumes.

[Abdalla Alkhalifa · Rating 1 out of 5]

Longest epilogue ever.
