Nanatsu no Taizai, Chapter 175: To My Beloved Meliodas
There's a bit where the Peanuts Gallery are arguing about what to do. Gilfrost refuses to let Gilthunder die because of some utterly-obvious familial connection that the characters in-universe somehow ignore, Matrona realizes that these things are demons and won't help her children, Baby Griamore is pissed at his father, but who cares about the Peanuts Gallery? Meliodas versus nine demons, baby!
Fraudrin taunts Meliodas for causing Dreyfus and Hendrickson so much suffering because Meliodas failed to kill Fraudrin so many years ago. Meliodas tries to get Dreyfus out, and for a moment it actually works -- Drefus cries and his demon marks disappear, but almost immediately Dreyfus-Fraudrin blasts Meliodas with a big-ass blast. It's unclear if Meliodas actually did reach Dreyfus and he wrestled control, or if Fraudrin let Dreyfus out just to dick around with both of them.
Gloxinia follows up with the first form of Basquias and creates another big-ass explosion which seemed to really fuck Meliodas up. Zeldris gives a bit of a monologue about how with Meliodas's death one of their vengeances will be completed, but then Meliodas breaks out an awesome pose, and prepares to unleash a Revenge Counter fifty times stronger than the one he used to defeat Hendrickson back during the capital arc. Everyone kind of freaks out or looks stoic (Gray Lord just goes bwaaa as always) and there is a big-ass explosion...
Which is entirely contained by Estarossa with a single hand. He just doesn't give a shit! Yeah, he hasn't done anything all throughout the battle, and considering this Meliodas is one that has re-obtained his full power from the druid thing and is reflecting the attacks he tanked from Dolor, Gloxinia, Fraudrin, Monspiet and Derriere, well... Estarossa is scary!
And then Meliodas falls down to the ground, and Estarossa plants his feet on Meliodas's chest and prepares to crush...
Yeah, how will Meliodas get out of this predicament? Even if those idiots from the Pleiades show up, they barely survived Fraudrin... who was sure that this one blast from Meliodas will kill him. And Estarossa just blocked it single-handedly. I dunno who else could conceivably show up at this point. The druids? Or will Meliodas just die for the moment and be revived later on? Good stuff, good stuff.
