Nanatsu no Taizai 219 Review: Vegeta Junior Returns!

Nanatsu no Taizai, Chapter 219: The Heroes' Respite


The chapter starts off very light-hearted, and you wouldn't be particularly wrong in assuming that it's just gonna be a simple, heartwarming "aww, they do love hanging out with each other" type of chapter. We've got Ban, Meliodas and Hawk exploring the new Boar's Hat. We've got Diane and Elizabeth meet up with the apparently-still-alive Elaine (so yeah, like everyone suspected, Merascylla's magic just didn't cancel out for everyone), and briefly touch on the subject of Elizabeth's reincarnation.

King, Gowther and Escanor go for a drink, and King gets drunk and basically, well, Gowther mind-reads the dude and finds out that King still hates him but forgives him and stuff like that. We also get the hilarious scene of Escanor reverting back to PRIDEFUL LION YOU IMPERTINENT SCOUNDRELS Escanor, and as everyone expected, Merlin crafted a magical item -- his glasses, in this case -- to keep Escanor's transformation under control, just as what she did with Diane.

Merlin is scouting with the aid of a cute little haired flying eyeball named Orlondi... and she's searching for Arthur, only to find... Zeldoris. Zeldoris unleashes a blast of demonic magic at Orlondi, and we're led to assume that Orlondi dies, but apparently Zeldoris struck through the connection and it fucked up Merlin real bad. Welp, I guess even with Commandments falling left and right, Zeldoris (who barely had a chance to actually do anything beyond look cool and hint at how powerful he is) is still enough of a force to be a threat. Time will tell if Meliodas, Escanor and/or Merlin will one-shot the dude, though. I do hope Zeldoris grinded for levels off-screen, so to speak, otherwise it'll be a pretty short fight.
