Nanatsu no Taizai, Chapter 125: Where the Memory Leads
Of all the things that are running across Nanatsu no Taizai right now -- the Ten Commandments being unbeatable badasses, finding Escanor, the Fairy King thing, Hendricksen -- we now focus on the fact that Gowther has randomly caused amnesia on Diane just to find out what emotions is. Yeah, it's a ridiculously cliched fantasy romance trope, and we could see this coming a mile away since Gowther's initial rampage. Did we really need this? No, not really. And equally I would hate for it to be built up and be resolved in two chapters, but at the same time I hate dragging it along. Would've been better if everything about this didn't just happen.
Well, this is Nanatsu no Taizai so it's at least tying in with the greater picture. The amnesiac Diane is heading off to the giant clan's home, Megadozer, and Diane needs to get through Edinburgh to get to Megadozer so she might run into the Ten Commandments. And we might find out something about this mysterious Matrona, the woman whose identity Diane assumed during the tournament. So we might be getting another Diane backstory soon, but really couldn't we have had the Diane backstory without all these unnecessary drama in the way? Gowther does get some personality -- most of it by being a gigantic heartless fuckwad -- but it's a gigantic distraction.
Not really much to say about this chapter, really, since very little happened beyond establishing that Diane's amnesia gets worse over time. King beats the fuck out of Gowther with his creepy teddy bear, but other than that most of the chapter is just them trying to figure out Diane's amnesia and whatnot, and just King getting pissed off at Gowther.
I really don't have much to say about this chapter, really. It's not bad or hollow like Bleach was, there are conversations and whatnot but I just can't really think of much to say.
