So that's what we expected. Looks like only the girl lost? Compared to Elgin they don't seem very impressive.

DAMN ANNE BADASS IM SO HAPPY SHE GOT HER CHANCE TO SHINE TOO

 

[Samael Morningstar]

It just keeps getting mid and mid
Anyways we're getting close to it's first year anniversary

 

[Demonspeed]

It's out.

Yeah, these two are fodder. Their Magics aren't very impressive either.

More stuff about Sin... With all of this Nakaba can't possibly hide his identity for too long.

 

[Vortigern]

It's good to see Anne and Donny step up and fight directly, since skill sets like theirs would usually force those characters into more supportive roles. Anne was lucky to have the perfect counter against her enemy's magic so she was able to wrap things up pretty easily. Sin mentioning that Burgie uses a magic staff because she has no magic offense of her own seems like foreshadowing that Anne is going to keep the staff because she's in the same position. The staff was conveniently just kicked away instead of destroyed like the Chaos staves, which could support this idea. Then again Nakaba could also use this situation to highlight how Anne is different from Burgie, because Anne doesn't need to rely on a crutch like that to remain useful.

I'm curious how Donny is going to deal with his opponent since their situation seems to be the opposite of the girls'. That panel of Sin smirking while asking Donny what he's going to do next kind of gave me the impression that Sin knows that Donny is hiding some kind of an ace in the hole and wants to see him use it. I wonder if his levitation magic could actually be related to telekinesis or gravity manipulation or something along those lines. I'm hoping that Nakaba doesn't forget about Sleipnir and manages to include it in the fight as well, perhaps together with Sylvan. It's worth noting that Burgie managed to injure Anne's arm with her wind sickles, which means that Anne is now weakened just like Nasiens and Percival. I expect Donny to also get injured during his fight, so that the entire team will be in trouble when the leader finally arrives. That way Sin might just be forced to take action himself.

Speaking of Sin, something I've enjoyed in these fights so far is his role as the tactician of the group. He's very knowledge about the enemies identities and abilities and was even able to instantly figure out the range of Doronach's magic and the details behind Burgie's fighting style. Not only that but he also managed to use this information to come up with a relatively complicated plan on the fly. It's very interesting that according to Burgie, even most people in Camelot don't know much about the Dark Talismans. Either there is a spy deep among the ranks of Arthur's knights or Sin is getting all this information straight from the source. If only there was a young lad with the ability to read hearts and to hear thoughts. I'm sure he would be very helpful in this situation.

 

[Demonspeed]

If Anne gets a magic weapon later it should be a rapier since she already has experience with it. I doubt that staff would be very useful to her.

 

[Killerbee12]

Remember this is the same person that regenerated after having her body blown open, dont think she is finish. And I'm 99% sure that sin is lancelot

 

[baditz]

It seem when last time we think she immortal, thats only her mirage skill,,
I wonderhow anne will last for story, she only good with her sword, her magic are suck for battle power, did she only depend or her brawl until the end, where it most like all enemy god tier soon.

 

[Rikudou King]

Really good chapter. I love Anne taking charge, and the fact that Sin seems to know as much as he does makes me think he was once apart of Arthur's forces. I do like how Anne seems to have kept her exceptional speed, and while her new look isn't bad, I do miss her having long hair. Feel like her movements would be more visually cooler with longer hair. And I have to say, I wasn't expecting Anne's ability to come into play in such a way, but it was cool method to overcome a tricky opponent. I do wonder if Anne killed her? Now I can't wait to see how Donny will win.

 

[Arthurchik]

For me it's very strange to see such powerless enemy. In NNT even the first enemies was cunning and strong, and it wasn't easy to defeat them. And the Sins was a former holy knights, but what now? A knights practically without magic power, even children can fight whem. I'm glad that Nakaba don't give us a super powerful children, who can defeat everyone, but... that is Arthur's knights, seriously?

The reason the early enemies in NNT seemed strong was because the Sins were barely even trying. In the fight against Guila the Sins were outright goofing off, with Diane pretending to be injured to try and get Meliodas to pay attention to her. Helbram was the first enemy that actually posed a threat to them and even he was almost killed when Diane got angry. As for why Arthur's knights are so weak, we recently saw that Ardbeg used to be a normal hunter until Arthur recruited him into his army. We could maybe theorize that most of Arthur's older knights died during the holy war and he basically had to draft peasants to rebuild his forces. Ironside and Pellegarde who were apparently already with Arthur during the events of NNT seem to be way stronger than the new recruits, which somewhat supports this idea.

Something more interesting to think about is that Arthur's current knights are called the Knights of Chaos rather than the famous Knights of the Round Table. That would mean these current knights are essentially just filler. With Percival, Tristan and Lancelot being named after famous members of the KOTRT, it's possible that we will only see the real order of knights after this evil Arthur business has been dealt with. Interestingly, in later versions of the Arthurian legends, the Round Table is given to Arthur as a gift after he marries Guinevere. Could that be the reason why he's so eager to locate his bride, to gain access to the Round Table? As for why the Table is important, it's probably because it's connected to the quest for the Holy Grail. There's a special seat at the table, called the Siege Perilous, that is reserved for the person who will find the Grail and that will kill anyone else who sits on it. Percival was the original hero of the Grail Quest, so this kind of plot point would explain why Nakaba made him the main character of the sequel series.

 

[Rikudou King]

I wouldn't even say Arthur's knights are weak... It's only through luck that Percy and gang survived their previous fights against them, and so far the only person to easily defeat one was Gowther. Anne lucked out with Burgie, but she both had assistance and the benefit of having the prefect counter to Burgie's ability. The knights of chaos may not be crazy strong, but they don't really seem weak either.

Well, Nakaba did write himself into this corner since 16 years is no where near enough to build powerful opponents for Percival and the rest that can prove to be a threat like in the first arc from the OG series.

 

[Meliodaf]

It’s good that the group is getting their time to shine now because if Nanatsu no Taizai is any indication, we’re gonna get to a point where they just sit around and get hurt by threats far beyond them.

These Knights aren’t the toughest but Anne and Nasciens looked cool while beating them.

Title of next chapter: Aggravating despair

--- Double Post Merged, Jan 11, 2022, Original Post Date: Jan 11, 2022 ---

This is of course a Donny chapter.
Most of the chapter is about him fighting his enemy but unable to take him down even if he understood more about his own magic. It ends with the maze-like helmet dude taking the CoED part from Percy.

Damn Donny's got quite a good magic. Telekinesis OP if used properly and with enough power. Nice development for my Boy. Let's Gooo

 

[Senoirmeow]

How long is this trope gonna continue of people wondering who sin is? Everyone knows he’s not just a fox since the first few chapters. Great chapter by the way just bugs the life out of me when even the characters bring up who sin may really be.
