Special Edinburgh's Vampires

[Liestue]

Yeah I'm really interested in knowing what happened to him so that he became known as the sin of pride. Sure he's really proud, but like the other sins I expect something went wrong and he was branded as a criminal, when it's not really his fault.
And then there is his interaction with the other Sins. THe fanbook says that King and Diane fear him(or wouldn't want to fight with him) so I guess it should be interesting to see those 3 interact. We have an idea about how he interacts with Merlin and Mel, but not with Ban or Gowther.
I just hope we don't have to wait too long before we see him in the manga again.

His sin probably has something to do with how he tends to lose control. Probably why he needs to be surpassed with Gowther's attacks via Merlin. Of course one thing lead to another and he fell for her.

King and Diane are afraid of him when he's Buffcanor, but what about night time? I'd like to see how they act around Escanor at night. They're probably so tense with him around in the day that's why they were separated from him and Mel during the Edinburgh fight lol. Ban might as well be a masochist and lets himself get beaten by this guy via picking on him for a thing or two. He might respect Gowther if he associates the ambiguous doll man with Merlin considering they go hand in hand. The two are practically dancing on her fingers since she keeps them in check.

But let's see what'll happen. Apart from my wild thoughts I just want to see the sins back together like one big destructive happy family .

Yeah I'm interested in how he gets reincorporated. Just having the potential of two characters in one is really interesting. Like hawk makes a good rival for weak escanor (because Gawain translates into battle hawk). Or maybe they will interact with him more as buffcanor. Just the potential of this character is very high

Explains all the hype around him actually. But the pig against a weak Escanor? I don't know, I'd like to see him actually being friends with a talking pig assuming he doesn't get shell-shocked like Ban was lol. I don't think Hawk would even mess with Escanor once day comes, he might even become some type of support for Escanor in his pursuit to woo a certain magician. That or I'm just delusional.

nah your not delusional. The way Nakaba-sensei writes is that 90% of the characters are very defined and memorable. Edinburgh part 1 and 2 have just confirmed that Escanor is going to be an amazing character like everyone else. Now I can't wait for part 3 to get finished up, jesus christ Nakaba knows how to write chapters

Kind of off topic, but maybe Escanor likes Winter more than Summer? The sun doesn't shine as bright and strongly during the winter, meaning maybe his powers are more in control then?

If the weather was an issue to escanor then wouldn't Britain and its world famous awful weather be an objectively terrible for him to be at? Or maybe its only London that is famous for the bad weather....

I didn't mean the weather. I meant the seasons and the impact they have on the sun. During the winter, the sun stays much lower in the sky than in summer, and is not as bright.

 

[Notice me Escanor senpai]

I think it should have been that in winter the days are short, while the night is long, so maybe he has to stay in his day form less, which can be seen as a good thing, depending on whether or not he has to be in his strongest form in order to fight.
I don't think he becomes less powerful because the sun isn't shinning bright enough.

 

[Sajuukkhar]

I don't think he becomes less powerful because the sun isn't shinning bright enough.

Given how powerful he got near the Vampires, who were using magic to make sure the sun wasn't shining at all, I would say this has already been confirmed, or else he would get STUPIDLY powerful during actual day time.

Yeah I guess your right. Man I want to read this chapter

What sort of god bestowed this 'curse' on Escanor!? It can't have been from any of the clans and its burning power is stronger than the flames of purgatory. The true origin of his power is a mystery that has skyrocketed on my list of major curiosities.

I can definitely see Merlin's fervent lust for knowledge creeping through. She seems content to keep the other Sins in the dark about certain things she knows (Gowther's visage, Meliodas' demonic crater-maker, possible Escanor details). I guess to avoid complications or too many questions?

This special chapter definitely seems to be the prelude to much demon family/clan drama about to come.

Overall good chapter. Was hoping to see Escanor interact with the rest of the Sins, but I guess that'll wait for another day.

 

[Demonspeed]

Spoiler

Why would King like this guy? He is human and his Magic is the most unique of all, it would be truly difficult to add him in the story, and he doesn't lose his memory.

So Meliodas only killed her because she asked... Just because she asked, this level of destruction was unnecessary too.

Merlin and her obsession with data...

I don't think she is hiding things concerning Escanor, concerning Gowther, she didn't have to tell anything, the Sins don't like to talk of their backstories to begin with, they don't know the past of each others well, they didn't know that Meliodas was from the Demon clan for example

I wouldn't say they aren't curious when a nudging mystery becomes present to them. Like they were going to investigate Meliodas or Escanor, Merlin quickly shoos them away. Same with Ban. She probably doesn't think it would be a huge problem if the Sins find out more about Meliodas for instance. Just to help guard their secrets out of discretion for them. It's still a bit odd for her to go through those lengths though so I figure it's to avoid minor complications. As you say, the Sins are mutually content to mind their own business regarding their respective secrets. Merlin is probably a big overtaker in the formation of the 7 Sins and their 'laws'. Her making their tattoos is another indicator of that.

 

[Liestue]

The poem was for Merlin after all

Chapter was good, now I'm really hyped for his entrance in the actual manga. Hopefully Nakaba-san won't be affected by how he thinks Escanor is too OP lol.

 

[Holt]

Wow this Escanor!
"The darkness feared me....that's all there is to it"
Everything he said is epic and he is absurdly powerful.
His power will definitely come in handy against demons. Its perfectly understandable that King and Diane are wary of him.

The way Gelda spoke about the demons piqued my interest. Its confirmed now that the vampires fought alongside the demons, however, if only the demon and vampire clans fought against the alliance, then there wouldn't be need for a 'public execution' right? I mean, its only those two afterall. Perhaps this means the demons weren't completely alone? Maybe there were other 'evil' creatures that sided with them.

On another note, Merlin can teleport others without having to go with them. That's interesting. Gowther was funny as usual. Just can't wait for Escanor to make his debut in the main story.

 

[dark123]

LOL. MEEEEELIOOOOODAAAASSSS!!!!! He has just destroyed everything because vampire asked him xD That was the first time we saw Meliodas demon face xD SERIOUS MELIODAS!!!! SO HE CAN JUST EASILY DESTROY EVERYTHING WITHOUT TRANSFORMING!!! What Merling took from him??!!!

 

[Glakiesta]

I really don't think that Mel actually kill her..I mean, making a hole that deepness surpass 36k feet only to kill just 1 person...that was an overkill and I really don't think Mel will do that without any particular reason.

and between, Escanor really do hold a great pride..he's the only Sin that introduce himself as " Lord " Escanor...

I think she made a good choice, she had already the means to calm Escanor and Meliodas was acting solo.

Meliodas is the Sin of Wrath... I also think that it was overkill but it fits him.

 

[Olho07]

I don't know how the goddesses will be depicted. If they'll have just holy power or they'll be like mythologic gods, but if it's the later, my obvious theory is that he's the son of the goddess of the sun.

 

[Notice me Escanor senpai]

OMG this chapter was so perfect. So he did write a poem for Merlin And Merlin wants to hear it, my ship is sailing
More seriously, Escanor at noon is stronger than the other Sins We know now how they should defeat the demons. And Mel really killed Gelda because she asked him to, wtf Well Zeldris isn't going to be pleased, I almost feel sorry for him. Nakaba's comment at the end about Escanor wasn't very reassuring, I can't wait to see him in the main story.I think Merlin should be the captain not Mel lol, in reality she's the one coordinating everything, and she seems to want to keep Mel and Escanor's activities secret
Thanks to Red Hawk for translating these chapters, without you guys I don't know if we would have been able to read them.

But he is said to be 100% human even in the fan book, he's not an hybrid. He has been cursed/blessed by something at birth.

Well in many Greek myths, demigods were considered by many to be human because they could bleed and die like normal. Except for the most famous ones, their godly half was mostly symbolic.

My personal theory is a bit different. The goddesses cursed Gawain to become the "warrior of the gods" during the day. Escanor being born on the same day (maybe in the same area) inherited part of this curse (possibly in a less stable form). His sin will involve Gawain somehow.
