Escanor...wow.

That Cruel Sun is just one hell of an attack, not even one of the strongest Commandment is a match for it. Would love to see this animated someday!

Estarossa you mean. :P

And yeah, unfortunately I agree. This would be the single greatest moment of this arc, possibly of the entire series so far, were he defeated here but I just don't see it. I mean Meliodas HAS to be the one who defeats him...right?

Escanor is too damn powerful. Let us all Praise the Sun.

His power just keeps on increasing.

Fight has been great so far. Would love to see this animated.

Not sure what to expect next chapter though. Estarossa might have a trump card up his sleeve or maybe Escanor will have to fight multiple commandments.

Jesus... I wasn't expecting Escanor to outright kill or very nearly kill Estarossa this soon. And there's 30 minutes until noon!? Escanor is too much of a beast!

I figure next week his power will start to wane, and either the commandments will fall back after seeing their main turned into charcoal or the sins will have to retreat because Zeldris will be going on a rampage.

Cause they weren't out of there to make sure we knew it was noon. Since Escanor has appeared, these battles have been consuming large swathes of time or its been almost perpetually night time. What I meant is that a few hours will probably pass in what appears to be a few pages for the sake of drama. Probably the most egregious example I can think of is at an early point in God of High School.

I don't see how the other commandments could last 6 hours against someone who, with little effort, sliced estarossa's chest open before he could activate full counter. Because he didn't even see his slash coming.

RIP Estarossa.

That attack...I need to see the next chapter, Escanor just brushed Estarossa's darkness like it was nothing.

I still kinda don't get it though, this small sun he uses for power.

OK, your misunderstanding me. I doubt they can either, especially since Estarossa seems to be the strongest among them and he just got his shit kicked in. What I'm saying is that I think the author will EITHER have the commandments fall back or skip a few hours to create drama from Escanor's strength waning, likely so that Escanor doesn't kill 60% of the ten commandments. Which, in all honesty, is the most realistic outcome in this situation.

I'm guessing Escanor's power increase isn't linear. I had recently reread the Vampires of Edinburgh chapters, and was surprised how Escanor went from coming up to not even the vampire king's waist, to being just as large as him within a single chapter. At the end of this chapter he's once again that massive hulking size, where he wasn't nearly that big in the beginning, and we're not even to noon yet. And I don't think it's a case of merely symbolizing his strength like during the Galan fight.

Hmm this is interesting. I'm fine with Escanor defeating Estarossa but that isn't going to happen. Escanor still hasn't reached his full strength yet, he still has more than half an hour.

I absolutely loved the looks on the 10C Faces when Estarossa was sent into flying off!!! WTF faces were hilarious!

WHOHOOO!!!! ESTAROSSA IS DEAD!!!!! Had He lasted just even 10 minutes or half an Hour after Noon he might have won....but this is 30 Minutes before the Noon....Meaning...Escanor Peak is still Half Hour away!!! XD Damn what a Clash! Worst time to pick fight with Escanor!

Escanor is such a fucking beast! It wasn't even noon yet and he was already that powerful?! Ban used to be my favorite member of the Sins, but sorry Ban, I think Escanor just officially dethroned you. I'm really hoping the anime gets a proper sequel someday so we can see this HYPE animated.

Amazing Chapter !

I always tend to think that Fraudin will play the role of Boss of arc. There are too many characters related to it (Liz murderer, replacing Gowther, Dreyfus and Hendy manipulator).
Let's say that as situations change very quickly in NNT, it is not excluded. I always feel that Zeldris, Monspiet, Derriere and Lord Gray will be preserved. For Estarossa which would WTF is that it is truly dead and that he finds himself in purgatory. This is an interesting twist! After if we imagine a rematch of Estarossa there are several possibilities:
- Esta was not full of magie,
- Demons King give him a boost,
- Retrieves a legendary weapon (like the sword of TC of Meliodas?).

In the immediate aftermath, we can think of a temporary withdrawal of TC who will return at night? Unless the state of Estarossa force Zeldris and others to carry it somewhere, while others resume battle (at night or not). Do not forget that the magic of Gloxinia may even cure attacks Escanor.
The withdrawal of Zeldris may simply be wearing Estarossa to Gloxinia located elsewhere.

To neutralize Escanor, outside the night, there remains the possibility of imposing a commandment.

After it's hard to know what Suzuki has planned for the end of the arc 2 - before moving to the Goddesses?
But then perhaps it is also (and surely?) means for Suzuki to free OP Perso and to give more space to other Sins for the final - we still have a linked trio (King / Diane / Gowther) and it is unclear when the outcome of this thread is to take place - I hope it does not last until the end of the series or that there will be at least one intermediate climax.

For Ban and Merlin, I expect more on the side of the Goddesses, so a large return at that time.

To return to the nature of Escanor, because his soul is exceptional, I wonder if it would not be simply a reincarnated god. It could for example be Lug, which is associated with sun and art (hence poetry). However Lug is a Tuatha Dé Danann who have no real equivalent in NNT, if not goddesses but this seems an exclusively female clan except twist.
By against the origins of Lug can be a clue: his father is Cian of the Tuatha Dé Danann and his mother Ethniu, daughter of Balor, leader of the Fomorians (be vaguely evil and monstrous). So adapting it, the Escanor soul could be the result of the union of a goddess and a demon, giving an unprecedented being?

I understand that everyone is high from the powerlevel display, but hasn´t anyone noticed yet how bland this character is?

Although he switches between two extremes, he also just switches consistently between two extremes. If his personality is just being bipolar I don´t see the interest.

Franky Yamcha can blow up planets, powerlevels are quite meaningless when the characters displaying them all pale in comparision to their grandfathter,when there´s no personalitity to back them up.

Great chapter, really enjoyed it!

Just a question though, how do you all think Zeldris' commandment works exactly? Does someone have to physically turn their back to him themselves? Or can he just be a sneaky bastard and jump behind Escanor and be like "You're mine now, lol!"

I might be overthinking it, that would be OP if he could do that afterall haha. However, it would be even more OP if Escanor's immense pride could cancel out the commandment and he's just like "I don't answer to the likes of demons" and just attacks him instead haha

the chapter was epic,but it was obivous like merlin said his power increases every sec by 5 that means if a day has 12 hours of sun 60x60x12x5 that would be 216k not even counting his base power that was over 50k,esterossa never stood a chance i just loved it when pridecanor went serious on esterossa and he kept asking him WHO DECIDES?WHO DECIDES these things?the one who decides...is ME,that was the moment esterossa realised he dosent stand a chance because the whole time he kept that stupid face and act like he would actually have the upperhand.

Well one thing for sure. Estarossa's vocal cords to make good speech burned before his body did. Just when I thought Escanor summoning the Sun, I thought he was at his peak already.

Part of me feels like Estarossa is actually dead, or at the very least severely injured and will want to flee. His face at the end of the chapter looked too legit for him to be anything but actually afraid for his life. Regardless of whether he survives this attack or not, the fight will be over soon as Escanor's still getting stronger.
