Nanatsu no Taizai, Chapter 241: To Crush the Commandments
So... basically our heroes escape from full demon form Chandler, but not before a pass-the-torch moment between Dolor and Gloxinia to King and tiny Diane. And... it's honestly nowhere as touching as it should be. Partly it's because that Dolor and Gloxinia's characters are such ciphers -- Dolor and Gloxinia were more plot devices with more or less identical motivations and characterizations, and mostly function to give King and Diane the backstory and power-up they needed, and beyond vague insinuations we didn't really get to see why they had the heel-face-turn they did. They were evil for a bit, then they were exposition machines, so to see them die is... eh. Whatever? I dunno. Taizai has been inconsistently paced since... since the timeskip, I'd honestly say, and this death is just particularly unmoving for me. I just hope it's permanent, though, because at least if we're killing characters we're killing ones that we sorta-kinda are supposed to care about. Particularly because the Chandler fight has been pretty poorly handled throughout all this. So.
Overall, though, I just hope this is done and dealt with and we'll move to something more.
