Nanatsu no Taizai, Chapter 215: Zeldoris, the Executioner
Well that was fucking anticlimactic. Not that it's actually a bad chapter, mind you -- literally everything else that happened in the flashback, and just how the original Gowther/Zeldoris/Dolor thing ended up panning on the Gowther side, kind of went unseen. Zeldoris basically completely fucked over Dolor-Diane, because he's acting as a receptacle of the Demon King by channeling the King's magic power, absolutely shutting down Dolor's magical power and absolutely fucking him over.
Apparently present-day Dolor is a huger asshat than we all thought. Gloxinia was curious to see if his successor would be blinded by rage (which, let's be clear -- was moronic in and of itself, because the only reason it's even a conflict is because King has sister issues) but didn't really have a lose-lose situation like what Dolor presented to Diane. Dolor's choice? Either die (which means Diane dies for real) or submit to Zeldoris and become one of the Commandments, and thereby be locked into the original timeline and never return to the present day.
Dolor, you are a huge, huge douche.
And Diane, of course, wakes up. Because she instead picks a third choice and runs away. Which isn't a solution I like a lot because it kind of feels like we're just going round and round as far as Diane's original personality goes, although she seems to have regained her original love for King. Which... I dunno. Does that mean the exhaustive 'Diane lost her memory for two years now' thing is done with? the flashback and the absolutely needless 'MAKE A CHOICE' subplot is done, though, and it's a quasi-decent read at least until slightly before the end, so maybe we can finally move on with the present day plot.
