Nanatsu no Taizai 184 Review: The Unbeatable vs The Invincible

Nanatsu no Taizai, Chapter 184: Clash of the Titans


Man, the hype. We get a short scene with Zeldoris (a.k.a. Mini Vegeta) hanging out with Fraudrin before showing off his own power, 'Piety', which gains the absolute loyalty of anyone who turns their back to Zeldoris. We don't spend too much time with them, though, because we cut back to the real thing everyone's waiting for. Escanor versus Estarossa.

They exchange some punches that blow the terrain around them apart while exchanging some 'yeah, you sound strong' trash talk, before showing off a little of their power. Escanor is strong enough to bring Estarossa to his knees, something that shocks the other Commandments, while Estarossa is forced to actually use his power -- Full Counter -- which reflects every bit of Escanor's brute physical strength on to himself. A moment where I'm pissed that Escanor's going to be worfed is sort of mitigated because Escanor just shrugs it off and goes 'oh, no wonder that's painful, that's my own attack!'

And, yeah, there's a bit of theory that Zeldoris and Estarossa might be aspects of Meliodas's original personality/power or something along those lines. I dunno. He did originally have Charity and Piety, after all...

Either case, though, it isn't even Escanor's final form and he summons a miniature sun.
