Nanatsu no Taizai 264 Review: Super Saiyajin

Nanatsu no Taizai, Chapter 264: 


It's obviously still a back-and-forth between the Archangels and Estarossa. As the audience, we already know that Estarossa is not going to die to two relative second-stringers in terms of being fleshed-out characters. Sariel and Tarmiel might be two of the most powerful characters in the setting, but they are pretty under-developed characters and Estarossa is one of the few main villains that the audience is attached to. 

But as Estarossa faces destruction, he consumes first Galan's commandment, and then Mospiet's commandment later on in the chapter. He got a power up and gets even more and more consumed by the shadows, growing increasingly powerful -- he ended up being able to bat Sariel and Tamriel around, preveting Tamriel from reverting into water and crushing all of Sariel's bones even through his whirlwind armour.  He does seem to get super duper crazy by doing so, though, because he starts to call himself Meliodas and shit.

There's also a brief bit with Elizabeth and Derriere talking about Monspiet's feelings and stuff, which is... neat. I don't really have much to say about that. It went on as expected -- Elizabeth sympathizing and befriending Derriere because she's nice and everything. It's not a particularly impressive chapter, I think, but it does work pretty well ultimately in establishing Estarossa's threat level and just how fucked-up crazy he is.
