| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Releasing darkness, so the sun guy lost power of sun. Goddess vs. Another teacher demon, Witch vs. Darkness demon. Witch already made them weaker? Mind control battle... Witch won. Demon king appeared when KajiKaji's character felt something in mind. It seems like he doesn't remember anything about another son, too? That another son is fighting. Doll guy's real body (mage) is in charge of the real revelation. It seems like everyone (even the demon lord, and main characters) has the fake memory about another son / 1 of 4 angels. It turns out 1 of 4 (and strongest) angels that went missing has been changed to another son of the demon. Doll guy will have to do something to end it all. Doll guy, angels in preview. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Hmm yeah, revelations and a lot of battles, it's pretty interesting |
 |
| RIP Keiji Fujiwara, I wonder if Tadano Youhei is going to do more roles that Keiji couldn't finish. |
| Estarossa is Mael... what the fuck? |
 |
| Im pretty confused on everything that happened in this episode, how are Mael and Estarossa the same person exactly? |
 |
| WOW, this episode is a BIG "F you" moment to anime-onlys. I'm pretty sure that manga readers (like myself) had the most fun already knowing what's gonna happen against the majority here who are VERY confused at what's going on. The battle continues against Chandler and Cusack, and quite literally, Ludociel and Merlin don't stand a chance...but rather, by exploiting their own powers through Double Infinity. You DO NOT want to get on Merlin's bad side. The revelation that Estarossa IS Mael, HOO BOY, genius move. This was as baffling as is in the manga, but watching this already prepared me for what's to come. The Gowther business to prepare for the Beginning of the End, with all the sealed memories that has revealed everything in one go about Estarossa Mael, the setup from the very beginning is not as evident, but it definitely is NOW. Quite an episode, I must say. |

| Nice to finally get the revelation that Estarossa technically never existed and that the Estarossa we've known up to this point is actually Mael. @Justin02 @expired_0 @flareneos43 and for anyone else that's confused, even though it's been a while since I've read this part of the manga, I'm pretty sure there should be further explanation in the next episode. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Ok reading the comments i did understand correctly, Mael, the missing angel and the reason Ludociel is so pissed (as Ludociel believes Mael was killed by the demons), is actually Estarossa and has been alive the whole time, living as a demon (hence the reason he didn't want to kill anything when he was young, because he was actually an angel). So he wasn't actually the brother of Meliodas at all. Maybe it was his jealousy for Meliodas and Elizabeth that turned him into a demon? He couldn't handle the fact that Elizabeth chose Meliodas, a demon, over him, one of the four arch-angels. Loving this season so far! |

That's a nice explanation, one thing I'll add is that you remember how come the demon king can't remember memories of him at all even though it's his 'son'? Yeah, that's why. Everyone's memories just went baboogled(??) as soon as he turned into a demon(?) I guess. |
 |
| So basically the cause of the holy war was Mael and Gowther altered everyones memories to stop that? Did Mael turn into a "demon" because of the spell or before the spell? |
| I got spoil of Estarossa true identity. If only I wasn't spoil, I would enjoy this more. |
z00nex said: Estarossa is Mael... what the fuck? Lmao this was my exact reaction |
 |
| This maybe a few episodes late but both the OP and and Ed are absolute fire |
Justin02 said: Could someone please explain what the actual fuck happened this episode? So Estarossa and Mael were the same person all along? Whats the real Gowthers involvement with this? I think doll Gowther tampered with Mael(/Estarossa)'s head to confuse him in order to start the "memory and perception chain reaction" we saw in the episode. His creator Gowther explained that everyone who knew Mael (and Mael himself) shared a common pool of memory and perception of some sort; that's how the spell was designed. So if one of them cracked everyone would eventually crack and have their memories and correct perception of Mael restored. We didn't see doll Gowther work their mind juju on Estarossa (pre-Mael) this season, so this either happened off-screen or it happened in the previous season, I cannot remember. If it happened near the end of the previous season that might be why Estarossa (pre-Mael) snapped and kidnapped Elizabeth. He obviously resisted the truth strongly. We also saw that Mael (as an angel) had a crush on Elizabeth and that might also be why he kidnapped her. The "real" Gowther is the one who performed the memory and perception alteration spell, as was explained, with some help from the doll Gowther. It's impressive that the spell was strong enough to affect not just every demon and angel but also both the Demon King and surely the Supreme Deity as well (otherwise she would have told her angels about the spell, and that Mael was still alive). It was also revealed that, quite interestingly, Merlin used to know Mael from when he was an angel. Mael was locked away for ~3,000 years after the memory spell was cast and after the 10 Commandments were released we saw no close interaction between Merlin and Estarossa. I wonder what is going to happen to Escanor's power Sunshine now. Will Mael retrieve it? Could he? And what about the commandments that are still inside Mael? |
 |
| Shit Went Interesting Real Quick!!! Now I am a little more excited to watch the remaining episodes! |
 |
| Estarossa was Mael all along. Just their memories were altered. Nice. Also, Little Merlin is adorable. :3 |
 |
| I've read the manga so I knew what to expect. Definitely felt underwhelming for the anime reveal as the manga had more emotional impact. Either way, Estarossa being Mael is at least one of the great mysteries that is solved and it's about time they got it into this episode. |
 |
| I really liked this one, I found the other ones kinda bad, my only problem is the fight scenes, they're still a lil weird (way better than season 3 but still not good). Hope they're saving all the quality for Ban vs Demon King Meliodas |

Whats the real Gowthers involvement with this? it will be explain further. It's the fault of the real Gowther (the person who is 'Gowther's father" in the Flashback) you saw in this episode |
| ngl that was a pretty good fight! Also that Estarossa reveal completely fooled me haha |
 |
| Wow! I wonder why Gowther's "dad" choses basically erase Mael and create Estarossa. |
| So Estarossa never existed, and Mael is Estarossa ?! kinda confused |
 |

  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| That cliffhanger at the end of the episode... The fictious identity of Estarossa took the place of Mael for 3000 years and now everything is back in place. I wonder how Gowther will fix all this mess. The quality of animation dropped in these last two seasons but the plot improved greatly... what a curious balance. |
   |
| So Estarossa was actually Mael, nice twist. |
 |
| Woah Mael is Estarossa or rather Estarossa is Mael!!?? What did Gowther do exactly?? |
 |
| Estarossa is Mael all along!?!? what a twist! 5/5. |
 |
| Although it makes sense it's kind of a shitty plot twist. For whatever reason Gowther decided to pitch Estarossa to the Demons' side, it certainly didn't create peace because the archangels have a grudge against the demon race and the commandments for killing 'Mael'. I'm guessing more will be explained so I'm giving it a chance ofc. Not to mention I hate how one of the strongest points of this show, the author's ability to insert romance in a shonen manga that doesn't feel too unrealistic or lame, has now been used as the same motivation behind each and every character on the series. Like come on man you can use something else for a change instead of copy pasting the same sad story on everyone. |
| Aww, its too bad I've been spoiled already. Oh well.. Anyway, that omake with Monspeet trying to make moves on Derieri was funny. lol |
