The Seven Deadly Sins Season 1 - How Episode 13 Pieces Things Together (Nanatsu No Taizai )

Notice: I will be discussing the anime series on Netflix and not the manga books. This also contains MANY Spoilers way past episode 13. Don't read if you haven't watched the full series.


   Hi! This is a review of how episode 13  ( Angel Of  Destruction) of the Netflix original series " The Seven Deadly Sins " ties in with the rest of the series. This episode was very interesting for many reasons. First we learn that Meliodas lost his full counter ability when he broke free from the goddess amber and started to transform into his demon form. But one the weirdest things he does is start attacking his friends even though he didn't hurt Elizabeth. This proves that  the  real Meliodas was still inside this demon like power that was controlling him. Something that was very strange was that Helbram said, " To think you shoved off a blow from my Holy Tree sword".  If you were paying attention during episode 9 (Dark Pulse ) when King comes to attack Guila in the Necropolis  she says, " The spirit spear Chastiefol , said to be forged from the Holy Tree located in the Fairy realm". So even before  Helbram turned into his true fairy form you could already tell that he was a fairy. But what really got me was the scene where Elizabeth is having flashbacks, remembering her sister Veronica. It shows them running in what looks like the town square. If you have watched the full series you know that Elizabeth is Apostle Of the Goddesses, but in that scene both her eyes are blue and not one orange and one blue. This is interesting because that means that when Meliodas got hurt was the first time she used her full power. She healed everyone AND clashed with Hendrickson. That's really powerful. But when she is done she says she doesn't remember anything, this is because from what she says is seems like the goddesses are speaking through her. All these things made Episode 13 piece together a lot of things
