Special Edinburgh's Vampires

[Sajuukkhar]

So we have Weakscanor, Buffscanor, and RIPPEDASSHITscanor?

Best sin coming through.

 

[ferdinbeer]

This again?
Well I just skimmed through the pages so yeah I didn't see his post. Well that explains it, however I don't understand did he seal her with the others as well? Wow he sure is "bad".

Zeldris was ordered to execute the vampires. Whatever he had to do to the rest of the vampires, he also had to do to Gelda.

Since he can be this tall, how does his armor fit him?

There is one fitting Diane's size but I doubt his armor changes size depending on his power.

I'm starting to think that he doesn't even wear one.I mean if you compare his first appearance to now he is clearly taller and more muscular, so having an armor will be inconvenient because of the way he stretches. In some shots he looks more buffed than usual, so either he keeps growing larger or it's just Nakaba who is inconsistent in his drawings.

 

[HereNThere]

I would imagine that, like his clothing, he has/had armor that was wearable, but not form fitting at night, but fits him perfectly during the day. Or he just doesn't wear it. But, if he does keep growing larger as the day goes by, then he might not need to wear it at all and probably only has it at night to protect his weak form. I'm actually curious if the Sins split up during the day or at night, because that would probably mean that Dreyfus set it up so he wouldn't have to deal with Escanor during his Buffcanor phase.

He wears baggy clothes as Weakscanor so when he becomes Buffscanor it fits him perfectly.

I think Lola is referring to this, no?

 

[Nico Brown]

Damn Escanor is more beast than I imagined. He totally made the Vampire King look like fodder and dude was almost 5000pl. Im starting to think he really will show up in the main story to try and help stop Galan. It'd be interesting to see him interact with the Sins in this buff mode.

 

[Notice me Escanor senpai]

Yes Buffscanor is more buffed than that and taller, prolly taller than Ban.Either he could have a different armor or none, and we can pretty much forget about old escanor because there's no way he would remotely look like that at 40.
Either way Escanor was really a surprise, almost nothing about him turned out as we expected. I think he should come back in the story against the 10, if not Galan then we can see him fight other demons, preferrably alongside Ban and King.

Now that we know Escanor shoot sun rays, this picture from chapter 103 takes on a whole new meaning.

Escanor is emitting light/sun rays in chapter 103. The foreshadowing continues.

Bask in my shinyness.

I'm reading some other comments on other sites and apparently people still think Escanor is a vampire

Lol wut?How can they say that? Vampires in the lore are weak to the sun, while I don't think it explains everything here, it should be clear that he's not a vampire by now.

Lol all I can think about in that panel is Mel's evil grin What's up with that?

I just noticed that in this panel he introduces himself as Escanor-sama

Yeah it seems to me like they just copied someone else's theory, and now are desperate for it to be correct so they don't look dumb for copying it.

However, an interesting idea is born from this. Maybe after studying vampires, Merlin created something portable for Escanor to keep him under control. Like a ring or a belt that tricks his body into thinking its nighttime, or reduces his maximum strength during the time of day when he is the strongest. Could explain why we see a relatively smaller/normal Escanor with the sins when they are being framed.


Yeah and Escanor-sama. Lol. If someone that big told me to call them that, I would not hesistate one bit.

Well she used Gowther's blackout, but now I'm starting to see the limits of having him participate in missions. No wonder King and Diane are afraid of him. Even without the full translation it is clear that he somehow becomes berserk as the sun reaches his peek. Also I think that's why he's more buffed in some panels that in others, and that could have to do with how the sun reaches his peek around noon. I can see him really being the sun personified. Let's not mention he's weak at night, so that makes him almost certainly useless if they were to attack at night. So stabilizing his day form would definitely be useful.
Also I'm not sure but I think he wrote a poem to Merlin . And even in his day form he seems happy to see her. That's why he didn't see Gowther behind him, but the Japanese guy who linked the pictures with the commentary said that Merlin was being tsun-tsun, so I guess we could deduce that she's not remotely interested in Escanor.

Another interesting point for me was that Escanor defeated Izraf without even using his ST. And the vampires tried to rebel against the demons, Zeldris instead of exterminating them sealed them for Gelda's sake.So this could hint that the vampires were vassals to the demons in a way.

Yeah I don't know how confirmed this is, but apparently Escanor was writing a poem to Merlin thanking her because she was the only one that could help him/would help him with his curse/ability of the sun.

Puts the "I'm always thankful for Merlin" line in perspective doesn't it?

Also Merlin brought like a picnic basket to Escanor or something? With like wine or something in it?

Escanor is emitting light/sun rays in chapter 103. The foreshadowing continues.

I see, that's how it is.

"What walks on 4 legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon and 3 in the evening"

That seems to be the motto (Not literally of course).

He makes a full cycle of aging through each and every single day, in theory, the cycle ending and beginning at Midnight which signals a new day and new "life".


Philosophical aspect.

As the sun cycles through the day, he ages more and more, going through various stages of aging each day in a cyclistic manner.
Old Escanor may be the very latest of Daytime, Sunset and turns young again afterwards.

That doesn't appear to be the case. He was only getting buffer/stronger as the sun rose in the sky not older. Plus his night form looked just as young.

Anyone find it interesting how at least 3 of the Sins have stability problems with their powers? Especially when using them to the max. Meliodas in demon turns into some near mindless killer and he fears losing himself to it. Then there's Gowther whose powers eventually make him become to erratic without his armor seal. Now there's Escanor.

That would be kinda annoying... Nakaba will have to pay very attention to Night/Day phase with his powers already, to see him changing like that everytime...

Yeah, it's easier to imagine how these three will be able to face the Commandments.

Escanor with a beard was drawn for a reason though...

 

[Notice me Escanor senpai]

I have some doubt about him turning to old escanor, mostly because we have seen two forms whose strength changes, based on that he becomes less strong at night and less muscular, and by day he reaches his absolute perfect form when the sun reaches noon. If done this way old Escanor doesn't fit, because other than the muscles expanding/shrinking, there simply is no hint that he becomes old when it's sunset.I personally think he just shrinks to his wimp formAnd if he ages differently according to the sun course, then shouldn't he become younger at dawn? It is exactly like in the Arthurian legends, when there is a character whose strength changes according to the time of the day.
Old Escanor would be a possiblity if like I theorized in the beginning, it is the stable version of him, meaning that his curse was lifted with him no longer having to go trough all this process, but that would also take away his sun based ability, or make it less effective, which right now I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing. If let's say he had to face the demons, buffed Escanor will be particularily useful.
And then there is the possibility of a fake poster.

 

[Demonspeed]

Are there more explanations about Meliodas destroying the Vampires BTW? Don't tell me he did only because she asked? To kill someone who could be your little brother's lover like that... While he is so protective of Elizabeth...
