Nanatsu no Taizai 214 Review: The Choice

Nanatsu no Taizai, Chapter 214: I Can't Reach the You of That Day Anymore


Part of me is disappointed that the 'big choice' that King has to make is whether to kill Law or not. It's... it's not even a question of 'oh my god, what character development King has gone through!' It's more of the question of 'why the fuck would King be so into this glorified RPG that he would go into murder-mode immediately?' Literally the only reason King launched the magic spear in the first place was because Gerharde and Law coincidentally reminded King of Elaine and Ban, and the whole situation with them. What if King hadn't been able to relate so violently and dramatically to Gloxinia's flashback? That was dumb.

On the other hand it does mean that we might finally get the fuck away from this already-exhausting flashback storyline, so there's that. 

The rest of the chapter is just Gloxinia and King talking about stuff, how it's kind of the 'real thing', somewhat -- they go through the actual past, and actual time-travel is involved... but is returned to the present if they do something different. Or something, I dunno. It's all a bit confusing and truthfully I don't particularly care for the "live a mile in their shoes" storyline anyway -- if Gloxinia and Dolor had just shown King and Diane a long flashback I'd be content. 

Oh and Zeldris the executioner shows up to fuck shit up with Gowther (both of him) and Diane. Well, remember Zeldris? Baby Vegeta? I sure as hell completely forgot that he was supposed to be important. Certainly doing a great job at, y'know, jobbing in the present-day stories. Maybe he'll be back in the present day? Hopefully.
