Nanatsu no Taizai, Chapter 133: Impatience & Anxiety
We basically have more training moments. We see Gilthunder and Hauser just adapting and improving while fighting the clay dragon. Hauser uses the posh sword techniques to deal the most efficient attacks and save stamina, then focuses his whirlwinds at the tip of his stick and launches an attack he calls "Breakthrough" which draws blood from the clay dragon. Gilthunder, meanwhile, does the reverse and allows his lightning to spread out and form an armour he calls "Heavy Armour of the Thunder Emperor", blocking the clay dragon's attacks and launches an "Embrace of the Thunder Emperor" that knocks the dragon back. It's great that this is basically a friendship power-up, but unlike normal friendship power-ups we actually get an explanatino that makes absolute fucking sense.
However, we cut away to them waking up, apparently having been defeated by the clay dragon again. It's cool that despite their power up they don't suddenly become excellent fighters -- they've certainly gotten better though, since they're fighting with sticks and shirtless, and the point is to increase their innate tactics so they can be absolutely better when the charge in with weapons and armour.
(Griamor is apparently just left out because I dunno.)
We get a short moment where Hendricksen notes how they have grown, and Meliodas thanking Hendricksen for saving the three of them.
Arthur and Gowther are fighting this suit of armour that can split apart into pieces. Gowther's attempts to hijack what he assumes to be a golem is rewarded with the suit of armour slicing off Gowther's head, and it's apparently just controlled by a caster or something. Arthur is just freaking out. Nothing really interesting beyond the funny 'Gowther loses his head' moment.
Meanwhile, King is about to enter the Cave of Training, having changed his mind. Jenna pairs him with Hendricksen, which was what I expected was going to happen last chapter... but nope, Meliodas volunteers to go in with him. Apparently Meliodas hasn't gotten his powers back yet, and wants to train before he does so... and then when they're in the Cave, Meliodas tries to get King to be more open-minded about Hendricksen because he's, y'know, all mind-controlled and shit and brings up the Ten Commandments and whatnot... and then their conversation takes a heated turn as King attacks Meliodas with a floating stick
