Nanatsu no Taizai, Chapter 240: The Foundation of the Future
Didn't really want to make a review for this chapter, but I'll be short. It's not super-bad, but it's just so... goddamn... boring. And that, honestly, might actually make it bad considering it's an action manga. We have another in a series of "we beat Chandler! Oh no wait we didn't, he's super-duper-powerful." followed by a "oh no Chandler took out one of the Sins! Oh no wait he didn't, deus ex machina plot bullshittery just happened." Like, yeah. Chandler's such a flat villain, and there's only so many times that Ban can be told he's useless that it becomes less of a foreshadowing of his current character arc and just being as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face. And there's only so many times that Zeldoris and Mustache Man can talk up Chandler every chapter. The fact that Chandler himself is such a goddamn boring villain with a one-note motivation, no real good lines to speak of, generic magic powers, a boring design and quite literally came out of nowhere because we ran out of quirky Commandment villains, and really doesn't serve any purpose whatsoever in the story... yeah.
Either kill someone or get defeated already or get a personality, Chandler.
