Nanatsu no Taizai 201 Review: Many Arms

Nanatsu no Taizai, Chapter 201: Comrades in Arms


So, yeah, after briefly freaking out over the existence of Goddess Elizabeth, King and Diane figure out that they're transported to the past (or just reliving a Pensieve-style memory) and that they just have to play things out to see just what the heck's going to happen. They arrive at a site where a crapton of demons are massacring a human settlement -- top-notch artwork on that splash page where the demons are attacking, as well as the one where Meliodas goes all one-man-army on them.

They are attacked by a very... silly-looking multi-armed demon that Meliodas identifies as Karmadios of 'Betrayal', one of the Ten Commandments. You cannot run away from him, apparently. Diane and King are freaking out, and Diane gets taken out almost immediately... except she doesn't since Dolor's body is very strong. King channels Gloxinia's power, and outspeeds and just one-shot-kills Karmadios with the power of Gloxinia... except Karmadios doesn't die.

It's mostly just to demonstrate the sheer power of Dolor and Gloxinia, I guess, relative to how weak King and Diane are (180 chapters ago and King's the second strongest Sin, what a world!) and it really could've been paced faster. But still, a nice, decent read.
