THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Seems this episode has Meliodas go through the trials. What I find more interesting is his past which really tests his limits.

I'm impressed by how they were able to adapt this part since character expression and his reaction is fairly important to capture the difficulty of the trial. Also thought it was neat to see Meliodas' relationship with Liz, one of the most important person in his life.

We'll probably get the Commandments in action soon but this episode was really important. Oh and I can't wait to see more of Ban on his adventures.

Princess's test is to revive the plant with dying seed.

Rewinding between the life of the lady's alive to death? Trying not to use the power by anger. (so that bird is by KajiKaji? From AnimeJapan 2018 stage)

Everyone else needs to train to be stronger. That ex-boss of previous season was training?

Too many painful moments that he was returned, but princess encouraged him so he continued. As he repeats the moment, he love more and anger more at the lady's death but still overcame it.

Suzuki-san's character and the lady travel and reached to the place he grew up. Fox person (Suwabe-san) was suspicious of making dead to alive but just a thief like Suzuki-san's character once was. The man who gave him the food in the jail sounds like Suwabe-san's voice, too.

Suzuki-san's character's past story and meeting the 3 gangs next.

So, A-1 Pictures do reshuffle on story of this anime? I don't think they will skip 'that' chapter because it's important. I think this episode cover chapter 130 and 131 but after that we have ban's past which was in chapter 139. So do A1-Pictures reshuffle the story like Shokugeki no Souma?

And i don't remember Wandle when i read the manga. The bird that have same flower sign like Hawk.

Wait why does Elizabeth have a trial, it's not like she is going to obtain anything by doing it.
Now we're going to move on to Ban's past which seemed relatively tragic, so far.

I had to admit, this episode was as good as the manga chapters it adapted. The visuals, OST, pacing, voice acting, everything was perfect about it. It was very sad for Meliodas to revive again and again all the moments he spended with Liz before everything went to hell and he destroyed Danafor in rage, the ost for the scene was surprisingly good, and made everything better. Good thing he finally recovered from it thanks to Elizabeth. I also felt bad seeing his bird friend of the past dead and covered in blood.

The scene of Hendrickson, Gil, Howzer and Griamor destroyed after the training made me laugh more than in the manga, especially for their faces.

It seems they have introduced earlier the adventures of Ban and Jericho in Ravens (the scene with Galand and Melascula at the beginning also foreshadowed what is about to happen). While Ban's past and his relationship with Zhivago (nice Suwabe, btw) was one of the highlights of the saga for me, I hope the studio it's not going to skip the scene of
, since it's very important for the later part of the arc, but, considering its importance for the later development of the story, I'm possitive they just postponed it for later.

Also, Jericho is adorable.

Meliodas' trial was painful to watch but I'm glad he was able to overcome it. Now we get to see Ban's past, which technically shouldn't come until a bit later, but it looks like they're rearranging the story a bit. As long as they go back and adapt what they skipped then I guess I don't mind.

Great episode.

Meliodas's trial was really hard to watch, must've been so painful to relive all those memories over and over again. The OST playing in the background during his final attempt was fantastic and when he cried at the end, I got pretty emotional too. :(

Ban's backstory is next, really looking forward to that.

Seeing Ban as kid and him and Jericho again was a treat. Also, the fact that Meliodas was able to go through that trial over and over, seeing Liz dye, and decide to go back and give it a few more tries, until he finally overcomes it, shows how strong his will really is. Like most men, including myself, he didn't want it to be known that eh was crying, but he wan't afraid to let it out.

On a side note:

When that beloved anime of yours does air the sequel season for a good few years, it's inevitable that you clicked loved it for every single episode... Which I did.

But genuinely, this episode was amazing the use of rinse and repeat for reliving memories is the best way to break in a character as well quickly evoke an sort of attachment to an uncommon character that frequently appears in those said memories; in this case it was Liz, and because we saw the struggles of meliodas we can't help but feel sorry for the tragedy.

And, to be honest, I would now like to see more of Liz 'cause she seemed like such a good character.

Moreover, it was nice to see how meliodas overcame that trial even with retaining those memories and emotions, so now I'm looking forward their training.

on a better not, Ban is definitely my favourite (of the deuteragonists) other than meliodas (since you can't really have anything against the protagonist -otherwise you're a crazy person*)
On the other hand, further elaboration on his backstory felt a bit generic... I doesn't add much to what he currently is, yet it doesn't reduce anything either.

LMFAO, it is undeniably so jokes the relationship of Ban and Jericho; I feel for her, I truly do...her unrequited love for Ban is the most tragic love story that I'm currently watch -but quite possibly extending to all forms of media that I have read/watched to date.

Favourite support ever goes to Jericho, she is so frickin' hot; hair up, hair down -it really doesn't matter anymore... Actually, hair down - seems more of a saucy femme fatale then. OMFG, what is wrong with my life, I'm explainin' how hot an anime character is 😭😭.

With this thing with Jericho and Meliodas basically moving on and just gonna go with eLIZabeth, I doubt Ban will succeed with reviving Elaine (yes even with this verse and yeah I know the ten commandments were revived but they're demons I got a feeling fairies would be different, heck even King himself, a FAIRY KING, didn't bother nor thought about doing it, what Ban plans on doing is quite impossible even for this verse, again demons are probably different) but this is just me okay? I like Ban and Elaine's chemistry the most, Jericho had potential in her chemistry with Ban too tho. I think Ban will just gonna end up falling for Jericho too and like Meliodas, Ban will end up just settle with Jericho too in the end

Again, this is just me, it's still possible Ban will actually succeed, I just doubt it

PS wtf is up with anime girls with pony tails, pigtails, twintails etc when they suddenly surprise us with a hair down scene? Hair down Jericho is hot af and personality-wise Jericho is waifu material

Pretty good episode this week, with Meliodas' trial being as agonising as expected, and with a shift of focus back to Ban again, including a return to his childhood that is surely going to be expanded upon next week.

I loved this episode, the emotions where real in this one!
Even though I knew what was going to happen it really surprised me how much it did to me
it's so tragic for meliodas this ever had to happen to him. I wouldn't pass such a trial especially this one he had to relive it 100/1000's of times in that short time we only saw a few. It was like he relived years of time with her again. To see your love die before you each single time without having any power to prevent it in any way is just tragicly sad..

anyways meliodas sure have a hard trial by bringing back those painful memories. its a great way to test someones emotional capability and management.

and that Ban sure will do all things just to revive the one he loves the most. (sad to say for Jerico that Ban doesnt noticed her that much because he is focused on other things)

cant wait for next episode!!!

Astounding episode. Everything was simply amazing. The anime staff did an incredible job handling Melioda's past. Glad to see the anime finally coming into itself, both commercially and artistically.

Meliodas speech at the end was great but by far my favorite line was:
"Every time we meet and part again, my love for you just grows more"
What a beautiful yet painful line. The double meaning hidden behind those words makes it even more painful.

Wandle weirded me out at first in the manga as he seemed to be a hawk clone for fan service but after what we now know in the manga his character makes a lot more sense. I just wish we could get a spinoff for the time when Meliodas was in Danafor. I think his adventures with Liz and Wandle would be great fun to watch.

Ban and Jericho where great and now we finally got to Zhivago. Anyone notice Ban was wearing the same jacket Zhivago is when he went to the fairy forest? If next episode focuses on Ban's past it'll be just as good as this one if not better, I can't wait.

Such an emotional episode, we're getting to know Meliodas past. It's really sad of course to lose someone who really special for you, especially in front of your eyes. But yeah, it's all in the past, we can't change it. I think the biggest enemy is yourself, how you can beat yourself and control your mind to become stronger is the most difficult thing. I think we should never abandon those precious memory, but we need to get used to it, don't let the emotion takes control of our mind, and yeah that's a really difficult, but a really great trial.

A lot emotional packed in this ep. Damn, the part with Lizz and Meliodas were quite sad, but it's nice that he have Elisabeth beside him to help him through his trial. I wonder is she will overcome her trial too and how it's. I hope we can see it too.

Nice to see Jericho with Ban. I totally ship them, though I ship him more with Elaine. That scene with them sleeping in the same bed were hilarious. I had actually my hope to see it, dammit!

Never heard of Beastmen. Maybe we can get to know more about them. Yay, Ban's childhood. He have already got a friend. I can already assume they will be great friends and he will in a strange way die to make the series more sad. ^^

This show is way too good. I've already said it enough times on other forums, but this is EXACTLY how a good shounen should work. I honestly enjoy hearing all characters, and I am very glad Hendriksen isn't dead.

Can't remember some things from season 1 so I will be rewatching some because I am out of episodes to watch until next episode. Very much enjoyed Liz and Ban/jericho interactions this episode. Can't wait for the next one.

Another emotional episode on Meliodas' end!
I also teared-up a bit because of the emotional scene of repeating the pain that Meliodas encountered paired with the emotional OST!
it's extremely difficult to forget about Liz!
lolz King and the others are still hostile to Hendrickson cuz they still don't know what happened to him!
LOL funny part Gilthunder, Howzer & Griamore are all burnt-up! the hell happened to these three!?!? hahah
and we're back again with Ban for the 2nd part!
lolz at Jericho super blushed by Ban on the bed!
So we have here a new character might be a mentor of Ban!?
kid Ban is to cute!
