Nanatsu no Taizai 208 Review: Big Angelic Beam

Nanatsu no Taizai, Chapter 208: Elizabeth v.s. Indura


All very exciting... but, again, my sentiments from the last three or four chapters remain. We know the conclusion to this story, so spending an entire chapter for Derriere and Monspiet transforming and rampaging, and then spending another chapter entirely for Elizabeth purifying them felt way too much of wasted space. I was wondering how Monspiet and Derriere managed to survive in the present day considering the talk about how the Indura transformation kills them, but eh, should've seen this coming. (I thought they were going to be sealed before they can die out)

But Elizabeth shows up, purifies the two of them as they mutate even further, but Reduciel is a dick that continues his 'exterminate all demons' creed. Meliodas flies up to block Reduciel's attack, and Reduciel mentions a 'him' which may be the fourth Archangel (I was wrong! Elizabeth wasn't the fourth archangel!) or the god equivalent. 

Bit odd that Tamriel and Sariel suddenly decide to help Elizabeth after a quick "who has the right to decide the worth of anyone?" speech, because honestly neither of them even have a shred of personality... but eh, only Reduciel's a dick I guess. The two of them help Elizabeth purify Derriere and Monspiet, turning the two of them back into regular demons... which is all well and good, but when are King and Diane going to see what they need to see? This flashback is interesting and all, but at the same time it needs to be paced a lot faster because we already know what's going to happen in the end, and this isn't some huge big mystery that needs to be solved and extrapolated so much.
