Special Edinburgh's Vampires

[Beatrice]

For those wondering:
His Power doesn't seem to be "Vampire" based.

Arthurian Legends note two Escanor.

"The Handsome" and "The Large".

This one Escanor seems to be a type combining both.

The Large Escanor is the son of a Giant and a Witch (Don't ask me how that works).
He as born at the exact same time as Round Table Knight Gawain, obtaining a portion of his power, which waxes and wanes with the Sun.
Clearly, this is the Power of this Escanor.


I'm guessing he switches between "The Handsome" and "The Large" depending on the time.

Well, for him to not be downright useless I venture to guess that his "large" personality is simply more along the lines of rude, loud and outrageous rather than downright maniacal while his small persona is mild mannered and perhaps something along the lines of timid. He can't actually turn into something uncontrollable on a daily basis, it would be too absurd.

But that's the point of a berserker, to be uncontrollable. Kinda like Orson from Record of Lodoss War, but that prolly doesn't ring any bell. He's a character who is usually calm and mild mannered, but when he's angered(when someone hurts his loved one) he becomes uncontrollable and he gets a power boost as well. Maybe Merlin managed to find a way to stabilize that form, just like she did with Gowther.

I think thats a safe assumption to make. I mean in the flashback he doesn't seem to be in his weak form because he is carrying his sacred treasure, and he's not uncontrollable cuz he's just walking normally.

I don't think the author is going to do the same thing twice (in the same manga at least, we did get a meliodas twin after all). It wouldn't really add anything to the story if escanor's form is controllable only through merlin at least. What would have happened over the past 10 years if he truly was simply a beast for half the time? With the usual amount of power the sins handle he would have killed a bunch of people at least and we know even the GHKs of the kingdom can't handle a sin. What makes the most sense is that his "uncontrollable" form is at least controllable enough to not murder everything. So a switch between the nicest guy ever (as what he appears to be in the image we saw) and a somewhat violent (yet not murderous) asshole would make more sense, at leat IMO.

Now their relationship makes me really feel uncomfortable, I wonder what Meliodas was thinking at this moment.

Prolly something along the lines 'When she grows up I'm so gonna grope her"

Well, as far as we can tell this and past liz are actually the same person for whatever reason so its not like meliodas is actually a pedophile (which even then would be offset by liz, basically a full grown woman, being attracted to meliodas' current prepubescent body... ). Whatever their relationship is the implication, specially recently, is that its from ebfore liz's current lifetime. Not sure how back but it is entirely plausible the relationship itself is as ancient as meliodas.

Zaratras's ability is "purity" or "purify" I don't know if thats the right word to use, but it's heavily implied he can cure almost anything.
Might be why Fraudrin possessed Dreyfus and manipulated him into killing Zaratras. He might have been able to cure the "New Generation"

 

[Notice me Escanor senpai]

Wow how is that different from Elizabeth's power though? Gotta admit I didn't expect Zaratras to have a purifying/healing ability.Now I'm even more curious about him.
And yeah having him around would have been troublesome for Fraudrin and his plan in general.

Purity? I guess it's light-based because I don't see how it would be useful in combat if he can just cure things.

Purification and Healing are two different things.
Healing is about wounds and deaths.
Purification is removal and cleansing.

Like while Elizabeth heals wounds, Zaratras purifies states.

See it like an Exorcist who drives out evil spirits,malice or impurities in general.

this is why i'm not jealous of people who translate this stuff

you have to be able to distinguish these types of nuances

Ahh, so his specific ability would have perhaps been able to purge the demon out of dreyfus... that would have been pretty convenient. I wonder how exactly it applies in battle though. Could zarathras have been so powerful, apparently more than the current GHKs, if he didn't have an ability that was useful in battle? I always pictured him having the same skillset as gilthunder for some reason.

His ability could be Light manipulation, and the is purification technique is a subset. Dreyfus and Griamor have similar abilities so Zaratras with Light manipulation and Gilthunder with Lightning manipulation would make sense to me.

Dreyfus and griamor have exactly opposing abilities as far as I can tell. I guess something like that could apply between zarathras and gilthunder although I am not sure of how light would correlate to thunder.

So purification is the power, not healing as it was previously said he can cure anything...Well I think his power could be similar to Tsuru from OP if we want it to be useful in battle. Basically it could purify all evil intention, so any enemy would become powerless. I can see why such power could work on vampires or on demons, especially the latter. It seems Fraudrin took out Zaratras because his power would have been able to cleanse the new generation. Also framing the sins was convenient since those were the main threats to Frandrin's plan.
I don't see why Zara should have the same power as Gil, sure they look alike physically but I don't think we had an instance of two people who are related having a similar power, let alone it being the same. Let's just take Dreyfus and Griamor as an example, their powers aren't exactly close, if anything they look like the complete opposite of each other. One destroys while the other erects barriers to protect. So again as far as I'm concerned Zara having a different power than Gil doesn't bother me, at all.

 

[Demonspeed]

The similarity that I see between Break and Wall is that both can protect themselves depending on their conviction, Dreyfus said something like he can't decay or rot etc while Wall is mostly a defensive power.

But Break is mostly used for offense, sure it protects the user as well, but I don't think that there should be a link between the two, like it's hereditary or something. Anyway I'm really curious about Zaratras, and I'd like to see him in action, since apparently he can take on Meliodas.
