Oh wow, that Merlin and Escanor scene together almost hurts to watch. You can see the feelings of passion but also despair in those flames.

Definitely highlight of the episode imo.

Demon lord's attack first that made them unable to move at all, then witch lady gave them power.

Fake for the full counter. Then power together to crush the land body.

Demon lord's appearance before disappearing... an old? bald? guy. Using water?

Everyone's safe, but no power from witch lady's power. Souls not gone, though.

Younger KajiKaij's character first seeing the new power KajiKaji's character, who used it to destroy the souls.

The couple left, not intending to go w. the group.

Sun guy already in limit. His final words (w. the goddess w. original sun power) including his confession to witch lady, and said not because she looked like the one he loved. She gave him last kiss, leaving herself scar.

Short preview (due to cm for movie w. present campaign) w. KajiKaji's character and pig, seems like story about the witch lady next.

It's a recap.... Uhhh
What you talkin' about...?

The final push against the Demon King, and with Merlin's Power Limit Breaker, and Meliodas's Full Counter for a combo Deadly Sins power finish. Yet, the core of the 10 Commandments aren't fully exterminated...?

The last bit of effort lies with Meliodas to utilize his demon power to fuse the 10 Commandments together and defeat the Demon King once and for all, the end of the age of light and dark.

It's all over, for both Zeldris and Gelda, and also Escanor, the expunging of his Sunshine power being the final farewell for the Seven Deadly Sins. More than whimpers and cries, Merlin strikes to Escanor the most, not before leaving him with a kiss and a memorable fire scar of remembrance.

May you be missed, Sunshine. RIP Escanor.

even though the animation is the worst thing ever, the voice actors and the story managed to make this incredible episode, I felt very emotional at the end of this episode, it was worth watching even here with these problems.

Finally, Meliodas and the seven deadly sins have defeated the Demon King. The place is a mess tho. And props to that lake who took all the magic in and Meliodas destroyed the amendments as well.

And there goes our legendary Escanor. He finally expressed his feelings towards everyone he cared about especially Merlin. That kiss was so powerful. It's too late now Escanor. You could've done this sooner. That mark is proof that Escanor existed. A sad day for the fans and the Seven Deadly Sins.

Rest in Peace, Escanor.

Best episode so far imo, you guys don't know how much tears i shed watching this episode eventhough i know what will happen. I become more emotional bcs this scene really far exceeded my expectations (the animation, ost, voice acting).

Farewell, the one who stand on the pinnacle of all clans.

The sun has set its master to rest.

May you rest in peace, Escanor

So Escanor is no more :( Rest in peace big/small guy.. That was a very touching scene between Merlin and Escanor, and that kiss they exchanged was very hot! I wonder who that other "chalice" might be for Merlin, per Escanor's last poem. Could it be King Arthur?

In the next episode we at last find out Merlin's true intentions. So, 4 episodes left and the Cursed by Light movie and that's it, this show is done right? It's high time I think, because the last two seasons were rather tiresome to watch..

Touching final moments there. Rest in Peace, Escanor. Your pride, strength and arrogance will not be forgotten, I still remember seeing the hype when he first appeared and kicked arse. And to make it even more impactful, Merlin sacrificing a scar to bid him farewell was pretty heartbreaking.

Finally, the Demon King has been beaten. It got seriously dragged out for too long.

Zeldris, like brother Meliodas, is quite the avid fan of boobs too xD.

Curious to see what the next 5 episodes will cover. Merlin's background next ep should be interesting, to say the least.

RIP Escanor the best character in the whole show, he carried s2, s3 and s4 on his back. Seeing his backstory in this season and also seeing him get a kiss from Merlin was a treat, probably the only treat in s4 if I'm being honest. Even if she doesn't love him back, their kiss and her decision to carry a scar on her face to remember him in order to bid him farewell was very emotional. Like she said, if they met earlier things would've been different. Maybe she loves someone else or will be able to find someone she'll come to love. Escanor said he thinks she's lonely and sad so I hope this will change for her. The romantic poem he wrote for her was really good too. He was always intent on loving her without asking anything in return, which is the purest form of love in fiction.

I can't believe out of all the characters with the thickest plot armor Escanor is the only one who died. Damn it.

Besides Escanor saving the episode, I think Demon King was a pushover in every single form he took. There was no reason to drag the fight so much, it had absolutely no weight. Even Estarossa was a bigger challenge to the Sins compared to the King and he was supposed to be inferior. But anyway, at least the battle is over, thank christ.

The best sin out of the 7 and the one who was singlehandedly backpacking this terrible final season and he had to be the one to die. Damn they really toned down Merlin's scar compared to the manga.

Poor Escanor, his last conversation with Merlin was sad. This was a good fight. Visuals were great. Escanor was a great character. Merlin hugs and kisses him in the end THIS IS GOOD ROMANCE! Finally after 4 seasons. Escanor got what he wanted. GG Escanor, you got what you wanted.

Exactly my thoughts too. So lame. Escanor sacrificed his life for nothing, since Meliodas was holding back all this time. Escanor should've delivered the killing blow to DK, then his death would've been acceptable IMO.

Merlin lost my respect for rejecting Escanor, but immediately gained it back after she kissed him and now he's literally burned into Merlin forever. hehe

EDIT: Hmm after watching a bit of ep. 21, I guess Meliodas was conserving his DK powers so that he can completely destroy the 10 commandments. I guess that's a good explanation on why he was holding back.

They animated the Escanor farewell scene better than any other scenes of this season. But it was still way beautiful and emotional in the manga.

In the anime Merlin said “However the proof that you lived, that you loved me, and that you were a man, is something I'll burn into my body”

In the manga Merlin said “But as proof of your life as proof you existed...I'll take these burns upon me...as symbol of the one man who ever loved me”

The manga one is much more impactful and beautiful than the anime....

And I didn't like the angle of the kissing scene in the anime, it looked like they were trying to censor it in a shitty way. I wish they kept the angle same as in the manga.

So Escanor died for no reason, and we didn't even get an ultimate attack in his cool final form? I mean Zeldris straight up admits that Meliodas is stronger than the Demon King in his final form, but he doesn't use it until the fight is over.

So aside from the constant melodrama and secret keeping that somehow continues to happen for every single character and not destroy their friendship (every time their selfishness just makes things worse for everyone), we get what barely qualify for light shows what should be absolutely epic fights we've waited for the entire series.

The first half of this final season was awful, and now that I can finally watch the rest it's worse than I feared. Like the writing isn't even at fanfiction levels anymore, it's BAD fanfiction levels now. It took me a bit into the first season to really get into this show, but after that I really liked it. Now, graphics aside, it just continues to completely disappoint me.

They're just going to throw away the best character like that? For shame. The last kiss wasn't even between their true forms! Someone spoiled his death for me a long time ago, and I hoped they changed it in the anime. But no. Almost every other character comes back again and again in typical fashion... But not Escanor. Never the characters I actually want to stick around. Even just in spirit form.

Not to mention only half an episode to focus on Escanor's backstory. I can forgive a lot of things, but this plot is swiss cheese, and the epic conclusions feel more like sentences in an epilogue paragraph.

I knew that's what they would go with, but they had 100s of years to destroy the commandments afterwards, and they weren't even sure they would survive the fight. They certainly didn't expect him to revive the first time. It's still a crappy justification no matter how you look at it.
