Nanatsu no Taizai 130 Review: Meliodas's Power

The Seven Deadly Sins, Chapter 130: The Gently Piercing Pain


Not much of a big chapter, but we do get a couple of nice little revelations. Apparently Merlin sealed Meliodas's power not for any sinister reason, but simply because Meliodas will basically Hulk out and blow everything to kingdom come like what he did with Danafor if he gets angry, so Merlin and the druids sealed it and left Meliodas with power equivalent to 'leftover scraps', even when he lost control before. So I guess that's his 'sin of wrath'. Also the way that Meliodas can stand up to the Ten Commandments. Man, the other guys really need some kind of power boost too.

Also apparently Merlin took Meliodas' power ten years ago when a random young girl was injured when the Seven Sins were escaping, and she did so before Meliodas completely went berserk.

But they need Meliodas's full power to fight against the Ten Commandments, so they need to un-seal it. Meanwhile, Elizabeth goes through her own trial to become a druid and Zaneli isn't putting her through some sinister choice where she's "acting" as Liz in Meliodas's trial or anything like that. She just has to make some diseased seed grow.

Meliodas is forced to relive through Lisa and Wandle's death multiple times and loses control several times, which is accompanied by pretty awesome art. We don't get to see much beyond that, other than Meliodas asking for one last time to try it after seeing Elizabeth's face and resolving to protect the present.

Overall not really much happened, but we're progressing on pretty well with this Meliodas-gets-his-power-back arc, as well as learning... well, more confirming... what happened with Danafor and why Meliodas is wrath.
