Okay, I would have to reread the ENTIRE series to be ABSOLUTELY SURE that Merlin's revelation makes sense in context, but as of right now HOLY SHIT, that explains SO MUCH. I kid you not, my head is spinning right now, so much of what's been revealed makes so much motherfucking sense now and I think the reveal really paid off. Obviously, I won't say what due to spoilers, but I'm pretty shook right now.

Then again, I can't talk about much of this volume due to spoilers, but suffice to say I cried, my heart swelled, and I just fucking LOVE this series SO DAMN MUCH! It has had its ups and downs (and its downs were pretty bad) but it has been an absolute JOY reading this series and I cannot WAIT for the final volume next year. And to reread this series once it's over, cuz that is DEFINITELY gonna happen!

Loved, loved, LOVED this volume, can't wait for the climactic conclusion!

The penultimate volume, and what a combo hit by The Seven Deadly Sins!

Demon Lord vs. The Seven Deadly Sins

I will never cease to be amazed with the whole concept and story. Hahaha!

---

Demon Lord: Ha... Futile. A God cannot feel pain or fear.
Ban: So you can't feel pain or fear, huh? That means you're dead.

I'm just reminded of Almond a while ago, where the main character can't feel pain. But he's more alive than some people who can feel pain.
So paano na. Haha!

Anyway.
Suzuki-sama, I'm a huge fan!

I'm not gonna lie: this "epilogue" is now far too long.

I like knowing more about Merlin but this ending is getting ridiculous. I'm still hoping for it to having a great ending.

3.5 stars, rounded down.

Questo manga è sempre stato pieno di eventi e ora con la storia di Merlin mi viene da dire "il troppo stroppia".

Por fin se terminó la guerra santa pero voy a extrañar a Escanor 😭

4/5 Stars (%84/100)

THEY SHOULD HAVE ENDED THE WHOLE SERIES AFTER THE DEMON KING FIGHT :(

I liked the ending regarding the Demon King. I can go so far as to say Chapter 333 (Pride, Gluttony and Scars) is one of my favourite chapters in the entire series because of Escanor and the beautiful relationship between the Sins. However, after our heroes return to the capital, suddenly Vivian mentions Chaos. We learn more about Chaos and Merlin's true purpose all these years. I honestly hated it. This "epilogue" is too long for anyone's sake and I won't accept any argument regarding this short Chaos arc. To me, the series ends after the Demon King fight.

Muy buen volumen

Aunque debo decir que no me esperaba ese giro de trama, realmente conociendo al personaje no me sorprende.

Merlín siempre fue de la que menos información nos dieron a lo largo de la historia. En su momento se contó la historia de cada uno, qué les pasó a lo largo de su vida y el cómo fue que se unieron a los pecados capitales. Pero de Merlín nunca se supo mucho más de su poder y lo que la atraía.

Con el simple hecho de que se nos revelara que está enamorada de Meliodas, las cosas no pintan bien. Después, que ella fuera la que reactivó la maldición de Elizabeth todavía agarra un camino un poco obscuro en su contra.

Pero aun así, sigue siendo Merlín y le voy a darle beneficio de la duda. También por 2 razones. La primera es que quien cuenta la historia de merlín es la Dama del Caos y no Merlín. Que todos los que leímos el manga, sabemos que cuando Merlín calla es que algo trama. Y dos, es que todavía no queda claro, o para mi no queda claro todavía, el rol de Arturo. Puede que ahí tenga algo importante qué hacer. Que todo indica que es quien va a controlar al Caos o va a ser como el recipiente. Pero me espero al último tomo.

Pero en resumen, para mi todo podía ser posible de parte de Merlín menos que odiara a Elizabeth y que planeara todo eso por Meliodas.

The first part is them going against the Demon King who has kind of been defeated from Zeldoris body and he has taken over Britannia and wow the mountain-esque form is strange but kinda cool and badass looking. The Sins regain all their power and Merlin using her magic enhances it even further and then they combine their attacks once more and wow what an epic sight it is to defeat the Demon Lord. And then Meliodas using his powers is able to banish the Ten Commandments. And we have one of the most emotional goodbyes in the form of Escanor and what a farewell it is and one of the highlights of the book and then we have celebration in Liones and the trinity celebrate and the 7DS until there is a massive twist with Merlin, and we learn more about her origins, her first love with Meliodas and that she was behind it all along and wow that came out of nowhere. And the meaning of what Chaos is and how it brought everything in this realm into existence and what King Arthur Pendragon's real role is.

¡¡¡SPOILERS!!!

Apenas en el anterior tomo digo que podría tener un final decente y el penúltimo tomo me sale con esto.
La muerte de Escanor fue lo mejor de lejos, cerró su personaje de manera digna y quedó muy emotivo, me da mucha lastima que el tono terminará tan mal, si tiene dos estrellas es solo por Escanor.

Merlin fue un gran problema prácticamente desde que apareció, era un personaje muy plano y que al parecer no tenía ninguna motivación, ahora le dan un propósito y es una porquería. De verdad, ¿De verdad me van a decir que todo era plan de Merlin y todo fue planeado porque se enamoró de Meliodas y como no le correspondió hizo todo eso?
Vaya personaje nefasto, y eso de que cada chica que conoce a Meliodas, se enamore de él, paso con Elizabeth, con la chica del templo de los druidas, con Diane que ya luego se enamoró de King, y ahora Merlin, por favor es nefasto.
Malísimo tomo en especial los capítulos finales y que mal personaje que es Merlin, además que con la historia de Merlin, Meliodas también fue manchado.
¡¡¡¡Malísimo!!!!

In this episode, it will start from Zeldoris fighting with the Demon king inside his mind, and his beet the demon king so he came back to the real-world. Finally settled. Everything that could be saved was saved, and Escanor quietly annihilated, so seven were vacant. The next step is to solve the mystery of Merlin or to restart the marine that aims to revive the one that created the world, and Arthur, who controls it. Somehow, with the development of Bastard and One Piece, it may not be possible to complete it as it is. Well, Kodansha comics tend to be never-ending, so the next 10 volumes are "chaos chasing" or "Marine treason". Or is it "Unified King Arthur?"

[Alessandra Ceravolo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sono colpita dal fatto che Zeldris sia riuscito a riavere il suo corpo battendo il re dei demoni e trovo molto divertente come si somigliano Meliodas e Zeldris per il modo di fare alcune cose. La battaglia si fa intensa e pericolosa, ma riescono a sconfiggere definitivamente il re dei demoni, molto toccante la riconciliazione tra Meliodas e Zeldris. Molto triste ma allo stesso tempo dolce l’addio di Escanor, però il bacio che Merlin gli da mi ha scaldato il cuore. Sono sconvolta dal fatto che Merlin voglia risvegliare Arthur come re del caos e dal suo piano architettato da molto tempo.

[The Book Dragon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ha! We're one book away from being the end of the series and we're in the middle of a boss fight. That's way too much space to finish this fight without it dragging. Something's up. They've done this before with the fake-out ending. I DO NOT TRUST!

But seriously, the ending of this volume was very...surreal and meta. And involved my favorite character. I love it~

This series has 41 volumes.

[Timothy Pitkin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Kind of a interesting turn of events as we finally get to learn more about Merlin and her goals as well finally get more on Arthur which seems to be something long overdue with how much build there was surrounding Arthur. In fact I was disappointed with how Arthur was used before this but I guess I am happy they are finally doing something with him.

[Amidori · Rating 1 out of 5]

No me gustó nada, primero escanor no tenía porque morir sinceramente, el beso que le dió Merlin por pena prácticamente me dió rabia... Todo este tema del caos totalmente sacado de la nada, y además ¿Hay alguien en este manga que no haya estado enamorado de Meliodas? Es que no es necesario

should have ended with defeating the demon lord....leave the chaos mess in the trash 😮‍💨

Evitando gli spoiler posso dire che ho pianto. Molto. E sono scioccata. Parecchio. Non amo gli spiegoni, ma sono felice che vengano concluse anche le storie di altri personaggi e che ci sia stato riservato un ultimo plot twist. Sono a bocca aperta
