Well it seems to me that after a sealing, much like the demons, the vampires are likely also depleted of their magic, and in this case replenishing it seems to come from drinking blood. So I am not too surprised if the vampires are as pitifully weak as they are in that they probably needed time to recover, even if they had the advantage of turf.

After all if vampires were as weak as this I doubt the Demon clan would have bothered in the first place to seal them off or make a treaty, it would have been quicker after all to just annihilate them given how few they number.
Perhaps but they did take over edinburg and should have had more than enough blood to drink. They did seem big enough of a threat that the sins were sent there (although that seems like overkill). The royalties are probably diamond/GHK rank.

Edinburgh Chapter 2: Ban is a dick for no real reason. Chapter was good. Mel fighting in his armor looked pretty awesome. If this series ever gets a game, that'd be the only way I'd play him. Well, that, and the clothes he wore when he freed Ban. Escanor is still as badass as he was in the spoilers.

Lol you really don't like Ban :D. Well he was drunk and even Merlin points out how he's a bad drunk :p. That said I don't feel the vampires offered much of a challenge, so I guess he also got bored so he started drinking and decided to have some fun at the expense of the other sins. That part was hilarious, especially when he does the pushups.

Escanor should be 2nd in terms of physical strenght at least, he can easily carry his ST while even Meliodas has trouble. He must be more similar to human-sized Diane.
Well, meliodas is technically marginally stronger than human sized diane. In that form diane has half her strength at 950 is at 960. If the weapon really is that heavy then diane should have about the same amount of trouble as meliodas. So it would make sense that strengthwise escanor is in between the two of them. We were told that diane's strength was the highest among the sins after all.

:o Escanor is stronger than Mel and human sized Diane.,because of how easily he lifts the axe. Nice.
Also regarding his age, if he's 40 by now, he must have been 28 during these events. If he ages there is still hope to have his version from the poster, however he looks like he's 60-70 in that poster :huh

No different than the ten commandments then just because their magic appears to be depleted doesn't mean they aren't capable of posing a threat, had Danafor been standing I think we would have expected a similar scene. Moreover, the vampire's innate ability is advantageous to themselves since as we saw with the first chapter they can easily overrun a kingdom once the chain of biting begins, as long as others are not able to sense it in time. Besides it doesn't sound as if the vampires were awake for very long at least based on the descriptions, since there is emphasis that the unsealing was relatively recent.

Don't get me wrong, I like him well enough (sometimes), but the way he just did it for no real reason other than the lulz, he was a dick. Diane and King's payback was a decade in the making.

Ban being a dick isn't really new. He was gonna kill Mel to maybe get Elaine back and was having fun at King's expense (when the latter thought he was the one that killed Elaine). There's tons more of stuff like that.

The badass version of Escanor seems it will be really cool when he fights

Drunk Ban is even more badass, challenging Merlin without a reason and doing 100000 push ups after Merlin tells him and he instantly starts doing them while having fun :lmao

Well, if its 3 forms it would make sense that he changes forms every 8 hours or so. So right now its supposed to be around 6 am considering they are saying its already morning. If that is the case then he should remain in this form at least until 2 pm. And then in his old form until 10 pm. It would mean his presumably weakest form is the one we will rarely see since he should usually sleep through it.

Well even if he had an old form, the wanted poster of him looks a bit too old for that. He is supposedly 40 now which makes him 30 when the framing incident happened and the sins haven't mostly been seen since then (save for ban who was willingly captured and king who was working with them).

Escanor's wanted poster looks older than dreyfus (who is 47).
Except the 3rd form actually makes him look old. None of the forms quite fit his age though. To have 3 forms without any matching his age is pretty weird.

From the wanted posters, the only accurate ones were about Ban, Diane, Merlin and King :lmao

Or Vampire King made him older because he has ability to manipulate space and time (according to Meliodas).

Doubt it since Gawain the character in the Arthurian legends who shares this trait with Escanor has only two forms. Also the evening is part of the night. His talk with Mel made it look like he only had another strong form. It is more likely that the poster is fake and it would make sense if it was since he is weak during the night so he could get caught. I don't think the posters served their purpose, who knows maybe Merlin manipulated whoever made them to protect some of the sins.Because frankly there was quite a few people who knew what Mel or Escy looked like and now we know she went as far as to retrieve Mel's treasure so she must have kept an eye on him, so why not Escanor who would need it the most imo because of his curse.

I am sure that you are wrong. In chapter 103 "A New Journey" we can see old Escanor. I will say it again: Vampire King might be responsible for current Escanor's apperance because he have an ability to manipulate space and time. He made him older. This is the most believable theory at the moment because it is impossible that Escanor might be that old after 2 (I think wanted posters were made just after Zaratras's death) years. Even after 12 years it is impossible to be that old through the natural process of aging.

About Meliodas - this theory might be good but:
according to last few chapters this theory might be incorrect because one of the Ten Commandments looks exactly like Meliodas from wanted poster.
Coincidence? I do not think so. I don't think that whoever who made these wanted posters could predict his apperance after 10 years so perfectly (maybe magic?). There must be sth else.
Don't forget that Meliodas does not remember anything that happened afterwards after his last order 10 years ago. Merlin knows sth, for sure.

Just like with Meliodas, maybe another Commandment has the appearance of Escanor on the poster, the giant with the helmet and the armor.

But why go through such trouble? It's not like making him old would make him useless. He is a still a sin 10 years ago, if the purpose of making him age was to have revenge by impairing him then it didn't work because Escy wasn't out of commission or anything of the like, it would just be a cosmetic change. It would have been pretty much useless. Rather I believe that whoever made those posters wasn't really trying to catch the sins or someone posed as those two, Estarossa for Mel and that old dude for Escy. And if it turns out Merlin stole the memories from Mel then she could be able to invade someone's mind similar to Gowther, and it seems to me she could have wanted to protect Mel because he's the captain and he would have found the other sins, and escanor because of his weak form. But then it really depends on how useless he is in that form.
Also Nakaba changed his mind in before mostly about the STs so it might be the same for Escanor.

Could be but that would be redundant. But I think it's prolly the most logical explanation at this point.

In Arthurian legend, Escanor was supposed to get stronger until noon, and then get weaker as the day goes on.

I wouldn't be surprised if Escanor has FOUR forms, one for every 6 hour period. That would more match with his legend, and the time scales we have been given in the manga.

Useless? I disagree. He might have lose some his strength at least. I think Vampire King knowing that he couldn't kill him with physical atttacks he manipulated time around him to kill him by giving him 100+ years but Escanor finished him off before that happened. Sadly he couldn't get revert these changes. My theory of course.

I don't believe that Merlin is responsible for posters.

Also Nakaba changed his mind in before mostly about the STs so it might be the same for Escanor.
So why Nakaba in chapter 103 gave us old Escanor? If anything, it would be perfect time to change him because this was a chapter when second arc started.
