Nanatsu no Taizai, Chapter 189: The Hero Stands
Can't remember if I reviewed the previous episode of Nanatsu no Taizai. I think I didn't? It's basically just Mama Hawk being awesome as all hell, and then Meliodas returning from the dead quite randomly to save Elizabeth. Which... is honestly a bit anticlimactic. I really wanted to see more of Britannia's resistance against the Ten Commandments while Meliodas stays in purgatory to regain his soul or whatever, this one just drops him in and just has him go through a rather painful-to-read gropey sequence.
Derriere recovers from having her fucking ribcage bashed in by Meliodas, before charging straight back into battle. Monspiet summons an army of little underlings for Derriere to build up her combo with -- which is pretty ruthless and awesome at the same time -- then punches Mama Hawk and then Hawk (who's eaten some demon flesh last chapter) which is a big misstep, I think. Should've gone straight for Meliodas. Quite impressive for her to take down that giant mountain pig though.
But then Meliodas whacks Derriere down and resets her combo, and they go through a bit of a to-and-fro while Monspiet summons a giant fire dragon thing. Meliodas goes 'trying not to kill you is what the old me would do...' upon which he has this evil thing in his eye and Full Counters Monspiet's giant spell back at both him and Derriere, who are enveloped in the blast while hugging each other.
Oh shit, Meliodas has turned into the Punisher! He's going around executing criminals! Though since these are evil demons bent on eating all of humanity, well, it's hard to honestly relate to them. We'll see if Meliodas's new lack of morals will have any impact on his relationship with Elizabeth.
