THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS: GRUDGE OF EDINBURGH PART 1
LIONES KINGDOM, NORTHERN BRITANNIA
-How do you like that? -Think that will work on me?
Both of you…
Come on!
You really know how to fight.
I should say the same to you.
That goes without saying.
My father is Meliodas of the Seven Deadly Sins, after all!
In that case, you must know who my old man is.
This is so much fun!
So much fun…
my heart won't stop pounding!
What's happening? My head…
My blood is boiling.
Hey!
Prince Tristan!
He's not in the courtyard!
Not here either! I searched every inch of his chambers!
Prince Tristan!
We've searched inside and outside the castle, but can't find him anywhere!
What shall we do, King Meliodas?
Well,
he has done it again, huh?
I'm impressed.
Your horsemanship is already outstanding.
Thanks again to your training, Gowther.
It seems I have nothing left to teach you.
No. There is still so much I want to learn from you!
How long are you planning to stay at the castle?
For a good while.
Anyway, Tristan.
Do you really have the time to be riding around with me?
The Captain… No.
Your father is expecting you, isn't he?
Of course, I have the time.
Is that true?
Is something bothering you?
Nothing's bothering me.
Hey…
Somebody! Help!
What's going on?
What could that be?
Let's go see it!
Quickly!
Are you all right?
Hang in there!
What happened?
Prince Tristan!
The wheel suddenly came loose.
The two people in it…
Stay strong for me. Where does it hurt?
The man in front of you has torn his right extensor carpi radialis longus.
The other has fractured his costal cartilage
on his right side and his xiphoid process.
We need to get them to Hendrickson--
Got it!
Hey! How are you feeling?
The pain's gone.
I can't believe it!
I see.
So, you have the same power as your mother.
Bon appétit.
You may leave now. Thank you.
Okay.
You can't beat a nice cozy table for dinnertime!
It's no fun otherwise.
So, why did you miss today's lesson?
There was an accident in town.
I was helping the injured.
That's bull.
You were out riding with Gowther.
It's true that I helped people though.
Then what about yesterday?
Hendy was teaching me how to prepare medicines.
I can heal injuries,
but I can't cure sicknesses like Mother can.
Also…
Since when were you a pharmacist, Tristan?
Wasn't it your dream
to become a Holy Knight and smite the wicked?
Yes, when I was a little kid!
You're still a kid now.
You would never understand how I feel!
Excuse me.
Tristan!
-Somebody help! -Are you all right?
What the hell is that?
That power of yours?
I… did this?
What happened here?
It's… Well, Prince Tristan, he…
Leave me alone! I'm fine.
I never meant to do this!
I'm sorry!
Tristan.
Mother!
What's bothering you?
It's okay if I don't become a Holy Knight who fights evil, right?
Is there something wrong with being a Holy Knight who helps those in trouble?
What a lovely thought.
That sounds just right for you.
Doesn't it?
Fighting isn't the only duty of a Holy Knight, right?
But, Tristan,
should the time come that you must fight in order to help someone,
what will you do?
Your father knows more about this than anyone.
If something's troubling you, you should talk to your father…
Good night.
Tris…
ALPA FOREST
Bastards!
What the hell are they?
What the… Get off of me!
Gandf!
What should we do?
What a horrid bunch of brutes!
They got Dad…
Hey!
Hey! Don't cry now, or they will find…
They found us.
That's our cue to leave.
Full speed ahead!
I'm stuck!
Who did that?
I don't know who you are, but you have our thanks!
So, the rumors were true.
Who on earth are you?
What rumors?
Recently a strange group
has been attacking Giant and Fairy communities all over
and taking them away somewhere.
Are they going to take Dad and everyone else away, too?
Most likely.
We need to go and save them right away!
Don't be crazy.
There are far too many of them.
You'll only end up getting caught yourselves.
But Recela will be…
Dad…
They are onto us.
Right now, we need to get out of here.
Then you can think about any rescue missions.
Wait up!
EDINBURGH CASTLE
Let us out of here!
Release us!
Let us go!
Someone! Anyone!
Let us out, now!
Set us free!
Release us!
What are you going to do with us?
Keep it down.
As requested, I shall release all of you at this very minute.
Don't think you're going to get away with this, Human!
Hey, even Demons are here?
What's going on?
Staff of Chaos,
reveal your power!
Hear me, you races who would dare defy the Human Clan.
From this day forward,
you are reborn.
You are now my loyal servants!
Splendid.
Priest, the time is right.
As soon as preparations are complete, execute the plan.
As you wish.
Empties!
You are to continue to bring back here
all non-Human races from across the land.
My day of vengeance is nigh.
They will be the first to taste it!
Prince Tristan!
There's an emergency! You must rise at once!
Just a little longer.
Queen Elizabeth is in trouble!
What happened?
The Queen has collapsed!
Damn it!
Prince Tristan!
-Mother! -Elizabeth!
Stay with me!
Prince Tristan…
What's wrong with Mother?
What happened?
She had a sudden pain early this morning
and then fell unconscious.
She was totally fine just last night.
Hendy! Is Mother sick?
No. I've given her all kinds of medicine,
but nothing has worked.
I suspect this is some kind of sorcery,
and very potent at that.
But who could be behind it, and why?
Can't you fix it with one of your druid spells?
I've tried, but to no avail.
No doubt Queen Elizabeth's magic could easily lift such a curse,
but when she's in this state…
Father, move over.
Tristan!
I'm going to save Mother.
Where am I?
This proves someone has done this to her.
Who are you?
What do you have against my mother?
You'll pay for this!
You'll pay!
What is it, Priest?
It seems we've been detected by someone.
What?
Meliodas, is it?
No.
Not him, but someone with a different, fainter magical power.
Then there's nothing to worry about.
Probably just some palace magician.
Just keep the spell progressing.
Of course.
They must suffer more and more.
Are you okay?
My magic stands no chance against this curse!
Tristan. Take it easy for now.
But…
What's all this commotion for, so early?
Tristan!
-Aren't you full of beans? -Gowther!
I sensed it! I know the direction of where that curse is emanating from!
Prince Tristan!
I will save Mother! I swear it!
I can't be any more precise,
but it looks like Tristan is headed east.
East?
What's out there?
Elizabeth!
Meliodas…
Stop… Tristan…
Hold on!
I've read of this in ancient texts.
There are two ways to break a powerful curse.
One is the Goddess Clan's powers of healing.
The other is said to be a secret medicine
handed down the generations by the Fairies.
The Fairy Clan?
Cu-pin!
FAIRY KING'S FOREST
Did you hear? Alpa Forest was attacked, too!
I heard! Scary, isn't it?
I wonder if they will attack here, too.
I told you, there's no need to worry.
After all, this forest is home to the Fairy King and his Giant…
-Queen! -Queen!
Queen Diane!
Hey, guys.
You haven't seen my kids around here, have you?
They were by that stream just a minute ago.
They were?
Shall we look for them together?
Thanks!
Honestly!
They are always going out without even having breakfast!
This time I'll really…
Elizabeth is…
What?
KINGDOM OF BENWICK
What's the matter, Ban?
I was just wondering where our son is
and what he's doing right now.
I'm sure he's fine.
Lancelot is your son, after all.
Well, that is true.
What is it, Ban?
What did you say?
Just as I thought.
They are heading eastward.
Hey, how are we going to save them?
I have a good idea.
You've thought of something?
Go on, tell me! Please!
They will hear you if you talk that loud!
Will you all be quiet?
There's no doubt. This is the right way!
But,
what will be waiting for me when I get there?
Help!
What the…
Fairies and a kid Giant?
Stop. That's enough.
We won't fight. We will come quietly, so don't attack.
What are you saying, you dummy?
We will be caught!
I told you, I have an idea!
Listen, just go along--
Hold it right there, villain!
Him!
That was close!
I nearly landed flat on my face!
Ahem. Chasing after harmless children?
What kind of fiend are you?
Fool! Don't provoke it!
Now you must answer to me…
Tristan, Holy Knight of the Liones!
You can't just attack someone while they are introducing themselves!
It's bad manners!
Is he really this stupid?
Now we're going to duel, fair and square!
Forget it! Put your sword away.
It will attack again.
"Surrender" isn't in a Holy Knight's vocabulary!
Full Cou…
It's a little too high!
Now too low!
Hey! Aim for the middle!
Hey, what do you think that boy is trying to do?
Beats me.
Here it comes!
Full Counter!
He made the attack rebound!
Amazing!
Full Counter, huh?
That's it.
You're safe now.
I've vanquished this scoundrel for you.
I'm sure he's learned his lesson and will never do evil again.
-Behind you! -Behind you!
If you're going to fight, then at least finish the damn job.
What are you doing?
You can't just kill like that!
Moron.
What?
It's hollow?
They are just empty shells.
Suits of armor made into monsters by magic.
Do you see how stupid you looked talking to it about bad manners now?
You've been nothing but rude to me.
I was only trying to help!
-And I told you we didn't need your help. -What?
I was planning on letting them capture us and take us to their master
so I could take him out!
You were planning something that crazy?
It's the quickest way.
Even so…
I'm sorry. The thing is, our friends
were taken by a gang of these monsters.
Taken? Where to? Why?
What are these things?
Well…
If I knew that, I wouldn't be wasting my time here.
He told us that the same thing has been happening to Fairies and Giants
all over the place recently.
At any rate,
I have an idea of which direction they are heading in.
Really?
Yes. Somewhere east of here.
East?
If you'll have me,
I would very much like to travel with you.
The Liones Prince wants a little adventure, does he?
Forget it.
This is not a game.
I know. I'm not playing around.
There's a reason I must go there, as well.
Reason?
Shut up, meanie!
Hello! My name is Kulumil, the Fairy!
It's an honor to meet you!
Well… I'm Tristan…
I feel certain that destiny has brought us together!
It's a blessing from the gods!
Nice to meet you.
I'm Minika.
And I'm Tyrone!
I think we're going to get along great!
You're so strong!
-Suit yourself. -That was so cool!
By the way, what's his name?
Nobody knows.
Are you not his friends?
No.
We have never seen him in the forest where we lived before.
He saved us when those monsters attacked.
Never mind that!
All I want to know about is you, Prince Tristan!
About me?
Is it true? You're a Liones prince?
Well… yes, it is.
A real-life prince on a white horse!
What a dream!
We may be of different clans,
but I would be ready to be Prince Tristan's bride anytime!
Yes! Just like the Fairy legend
of Human King Ban and the Fairy, Elaine!
Now I'm blushing!
Hey, just who are you?
With your archery skills, I can tell you're not an ordinary Fairy.
Who I am doesn't matter.
That scar…
What?
I'm sorry!
Anyway, I wonder where those monsters are going.
You don't even know that?
What?
East of here,
there are no Human settlements.
No Giants or Fairies either.
There's only one thing.
Edinburgh,
the kingdom destroyed by a family of vampires over 20 years ago.
The Vampires of Edinburgh?
I've heard of them.
If I remember right,
my father said the Seven Deadly Sins stamped them out.
Right.
Then, 12 or 13 years ago,
an Edinburgh survivor, along with some allies and a number of Human supporters,
revived the kingdom.
I never knew that.
The Liones have no ties to them at all.
Of course not. Edinburgh collapsed again almost instantly.
What?
The survivor who led the revival…
became the King of the new Edinburgh.
However, the King refused to do business with any clans other than Humans,
persecuting the Fairies and Giants who lived in the surrounding regions.
Eventually, not only his people,
but even the allies who fought by his side left the country in disgust.
Even though he was now left without a single subject,
he stayed clinging to his throne.
He sounds like a lonely person.
I wonder what kind of king he is.
He's a former Liones Holy Knight.
What I seek to prove
is that even the hands of a Human can slay the Demons of old.
Sir Denzel!
Do you really plan to go through with this?
Fear not.
I have made my peace.
For the sake of the kingdom's future,
I will gladly offer up this old body!
Come forth!
I beg of you, please lend us your strength!
The man serving as your vessel
intends to sacrifice his life to defeat the Demon Clan!
I refuse.
She fled!
The monster that killed Denzel…
The monster who brainwashed
and made puppets of us…
We have no duty to serve a country
upon whose thrones sit a Demon and a Goddess.
I will build a country for Humans and Humans alone!
King Deathpierce.
What?
I have tracked down the whereabouts
of the ones who destroyed that Empty.
But aren't they just a bunch of kids?
Now, this is a surprise.
He's their spitting image!
I heard the rumors, and it seems they were true.
And now he's serving himself up to me on a plate to help his ailing mother!
I had hoped to go and see Meliodas' misery for myself after cursing Elizabeth,
but this presents an opportunity to inflict an even greater pain.
Knight, Mage.
It's your turn.
Is that…
Edinburgh Castle?
That must be the place.
I sense the magic that cursed Mother.
Hey. Look over there.
It's Dad!
Well,
we made it, but the question is, what now?
If only a certain pesky prince didn't interfere,
I would be getting a ride to the castle inside that cage right now.
Attacking head-on will be tricky.
We don't know how many of those puppets are lurking inside.
We will sneak around the back and…
Hey, are you listening?
What are you doing?
I'm going to rescue everyone, of course.
Heavens shine bright! Justice prevails!
Falling Star!
All right!
You're so wonderful, Prince Tristan!
I can't contain my amazement!
No, it isn't all right, you numbskull!
You need to think about what will happen next before you do something!
-Don't screw with me, you jerk! -Don't lose your temper!
-Not his face! -Get it together!
Hey! This is no time to fight amongst ourselves!
-What? -What?
Quick! Hit them with your Foul Counter!
It's "Full," not "Foul!"
Full Counter!
Did you see that? I got two in a row!
How about you get all of them next time?
The timing's a lot harder to get than it looks, you know!
I don't think they feel like giving you another chance to use Foul Counter.
Full Counter! Full!
And that's what I wanted.
Twinkle Star!
The evil magic controlling them has vanished.
No… Has it been cleansed?
You're not half bad.
Okay! I can do this!
Still no sign of that feeling.
I can fight these things all day!
Imbecile! Don't just stand there!
What?
Prince Tristan!
What is…
Dad!
Recela!
Minika!
You're safe!
You saved us?
No. Not us.
It was those two.
Well, you know, I guess it turned out that way.
Words can't express my gratitude.
I don't recognize you from our forest.
You should best take the kids
and get the hell out of here.
But there are probably lots of others still imprisoned in that castle.
I'll take care of them.
I'll go with you.
You have a different objective.
That's true.
But as a Holy Knight, I can't forsake those in trouble!
Is that right?
Then all the more reasons for us to come along!
Right!
Next time won't be like fighting those puppets.
Do you really want to put the kids who came to rescue you in danger?
Dad…
All right.
Thank you!
Be good to your old man.
Now go!
Come on, everyone!
Prince Tristan…
Are we doing this?
You're a strange one, aren't you?
What do you mean?
It's hard to pin down why, but you don't seem very Fairy-like.
If anything, you seem strangely Human.
Thanks.
That's because I'm not an ordinary Fairy.
What's with their magic?
It's not just Fairy or Giant magic.
There's something more sinister mixed in with it!
That's…
You!
Hey!
I won't let you go any further.
Don't get in our way!
Damn!
Don't you dare run!
What was that all about?
What was that in there?
It was the one…
who cursed my mother!
It was him.
Your mother?
Even so, Tristan,
we have to take these guys out first!
Don't push your luck!
Those little swords will hardly scratch a monster like that!
Who are you
to be worrying about me?
Tristan!
Star Breaker!
Out of our way!
He's walking the walk…
He's right.
You really are in no position to be worrying about others.
What a letdown
to have a pushover Fairy like you as my opponent!
The least you could do for me
is to have a nice, pitiful death if you would be so kind!
My! Aren't you nimble?
You're starting to get on my nerves.
This is the end.
You cannot see me.
Nor when I attack, naturally.
So, what are you going to do?
I can tell exactly where you are as if it were as clear as day!
Not that I'll tell you how though!
You're simply going to die without a shred of resistance.
Terrifying, isn't it?
Of course, I won't kill you all in one go.
I'll do it little by little, bit by bit,
enjoying every last moment of your torment!
What? Did he dodge it?
How? You impertinent little…
Dear!
Are you hoping for a lucky guess?
Don't waste your energy!
How?
You shouldn't… be able to see me…
That's easy.
Let me tell you.
It's because I'm strong.
That's all.
What are…
They must be abductees.
Which means the other one is…
Hey, Tristan! Don't kill that thing!
What the hell is he doing?
My blood… It's boiling!
My heart's beating fast.
My head's going numb!
This feeling… If I keep fighting,
it will be like the last time!
It's no good!
I'm losing myself again!
And I can be sure
-I'll even hurt him, too! -Tristan!
Move!
You!
I guess arrows are not very good against something so big.
Run! You're no match for him!
I'm no match for him?
What do you know about me?
What?
You're…
It can't be!
Lancelot?
