Discussion Escanor

[Notice me Escanor senpai]

Who cares? It's a badass armor.

I'm so glad we got to see him wearing it, that's the only "clothes" that are epic enough for him.

 

[Yakkun]

I really wonder how he deals with it when nighttime arrives. He shrinks considerably. It would be impossible to wear this chunky piece of gold once the day ends. Could it be magical and adapt to Escanor's size? Or does he wear his spandex hammer-pants outfit again? I loved that so much.

I wasnt talking about apparence
Maybe his armor stabilize his strength and make it easy to control

I don't think escanor needs that. And given what we have seen, does it seem likely that an armor could plausibly ever contain escanor's might? A demon could not eat his soul, it destroyed merascylla from the inside out. We are talking about a man made armor suppressing the living embodiment of the sun.

Why would escanor need anything to help him control his powers? As far as we have seen escanor has perfect control over his abilities. What he did during the edinburg events is not him loosing control over his powers. We did not see escanor entering a fit of rage or anything of the sort. Escanor did melt the castle a while back but I would argue that that did not happen because escanor could not control himself. Rather I would argue it happened because escanor was being an asshole. He made the point that the vampire king had fouled his mood didn't he? So the issue was not escanor loosing control of his powers, the issue was him loosing his temper. Basically, melting the castle was completely intentional. If not that, at least the way he used his powers was. And consider how escanor acts now. He is completely different from how he was 12 years ago. Escanor did not melt the mountain he was standing on even after galan and mera trash his bar, arguably a far worst offense than anything the vampire king did. Maybe escanor does have trouble controlling his powers at noon or something considering he did leave bam and the others because of that but other than that there is not much evidence to suggest that escanor at any other time looses control over his powers.

That he is, kind and strong.

In a way their wish came true, it's like some fairy godmother (lol) has fulfilled their wish.Too bad that they rejected him when his power manifested, because his appearance might have been grotesque.

I didn't pay attention to that detail when that chapter (169) came out.

Even Estarossa thinks he's a nice guy

And I think he learned the hard way how strong Escanor can be .

It's so nice to see how everything so far has been consistent with Escanor's character/personality,even his pride which if it's based on some pretty founded facts cannot be seen as a sin.

Well, it is really not strange at all that it works like this for escanor. It has been like this for every sin so far Meliodas is so devoid of actual wrath that he did not weird a sword even when his power was taken away and what usually would be fodder to him could have stood up against him. King has never shown even a slight bit of sloth and his "sins" in no way relate to laziness. Ban is a thief and an all around piece of shit however thanks to elaine we know for a fact that he somehow has a heart of gold. This wouldn't make sense in a meth enhanced acid trip but the manga has establish it and we have to live with it. Diane has never been envious of anything, even within what her sin supposedly is the envy thing does not make sense. Gowther is literally incapable of feeling lust. Or anything else for that matter. And the only thing which merlin wants is knowledge and there is no such thing as wanting or having too much knowledge. She has not even been shown doing unethical experiments so far. Maybe escanor could have been said to be prideful in his younger days however as we have seen him during the current events he is clearly not prideful. He did not lie to galan, nor did he loose faith in meras' presence nor does he even have animosity towards estarosa. Every single thing escanor has said so far in current events is pretty much grounded on facts.

Escanor as he is right now is effectively immune to the commandments. He needs not lie to vermin, his faith in himself in unshakeable, he needs not take a single step back from an enemy and the only thing he can feel towards the unlucky creature that dares stand in front of him is compassion. Escanor is far too perfect to ever fall prey to a commandment. Unless of course there is a commandment of poor taste, his mustache will make him fall for it even if it's literally freezing.

....well all this seems unnecessary, as it has already been established that none of the sins (so far) are really guilty.
It was more of a general observation about his character, which is indeed prideful but it's based on real facts, and it's not just him being prideful because. It's more of a honest assessement of his own abilities which make him unique, and considering how all those other "superior" races have been looking down on him, or humans calling him a monster, it makes a lot of sense for him to act the way he does which comes off as prideful and arrogant.

And careful about the moustache, it's not poor taste, you're just jelly because you can never grow one as epic as his.

You dare mock the "Mustache" !!! If Escanor is that powerful it's not only because he has the power of the Sun but because of his glorious Mustache !

To be more serious, i too thought at first that he better got rid of that mustache, but i finally got attached to that appearance and i honestly think it suits him pretty well !
It brings him a bit closer to his Wanted Poster figure ! If he grows a beard too and his hair, then he might ressemble greatly his Wanted Poster only younger ! ( well he will also have to change the position of the egdes of his mustache and it will do the trick XD)

I'm thinking that Escanor could either be the reincarnation of a particular Angelic being or, less likely, there is something about his lineage that caused the NNT Gods to bless him with might. If anyone knows about it in detail, its Mel & perhaps Merlin -- just need those two to spill the beans.

If escanor was the reincarnation of an angelic being, as in a goddess, then he would likely have power akin to that of a goddess. Sort of like elizabeth, she is the reincarnation of a being that can reasonably be characterized as angelic and has the power of the goddess clan. Escanor has power which has been said to be distinct from the goddess clan and other clans as well. I doubt there is much to know about escanor in this regard, he is simply 110% human.

 

[Escanorzoldyck]

Escanor isnt a reancarnation he is way too awsome to be one
And i hope he really is guilty of his sin and i dont really think he's innocent bcz when everyone tells him that hes arrogant his awnser is that is my sin./that is the sin of pride.. i hope his backstory will be epic(maybe there would be gawain in it )

 

[Notice me Escanor senpai]

Maybe he's just the reincarnation of God.

Or the son of God. All hail our lord Escanor christ.

But seriously I can see him being the distant descendant of a godly being, one that would be above the Goddesses who seem to be only the equivalent of angels in the manga.That being could be the real creator of the world, and its God basically.

I remember saying that once but if he really is then the battle vs the dk(if there was one) will probably end up at noon where everyone will bow to him and praise him

"Escanor is the type of guy that lets you have the last slice of pizza without having you ask for it."

Loool

Really ? He's actually a pretty nice guy

 

[Escanorzoldyck]

Well, it's either that or Escanor/his magic just doesn't care about power levels or logic

Logic? Escanor?? He's the one who decids what's logic and what's not

 

[SpectrumRay16]

Logic? Escanor?? He's the one who decids what's logic and what's not

Me: "And who decided That?"
Escanor: "ME! I Decide Everything, including how the plot is focusing on my feats and nobody else's!"
Me: "Are you salty you weren't in the first half and it took like a month for them to find you, and even then it was by accident?"
Escanor: "They will pay the ultimate price... by having less screen time now!"

To be perfectly honest, Nakaba has explained Escanor's abilities fairly well from my point of view. The only thing he hasn't touched on is how strong Escanor can get and whether or not having Rhitta is more of a hindrance than a benefit. As most Sacred Treasure's stand... they help the user out immensely. But, Rhitta only seems to limit what Escanor can do. I've not seen Escanor do backflips with it, but, without it i have. So, is Rhitta so heavy that it hinders his speed and does it hinder the output of magic he can emit?
Either way... it looks to me like Escanor may have stayed put at the lake, or maybe he went to check on the brothers and see if he finished them off?

I prefer if he did

 

[SpectrumRay16]

Well, if he did consider the fact that they might've survived, he would be the first good guy character in Taizai to actually make sure he killed his opponent.

That or he'll feel pity toward zeldris whos holding his k.f.e while crying and he might turn his back on zeldris (we know escanor is a good guy so maybe he will)

But... Escanor would feel pity for him anyway, he pity's all people beneath him
Not to mention, i hear that K.F.E may not be dead quite yes as Ban and co. have yet to regain their ability to do anything. Which leaves the K.F.E still alive and kicking... well, alive and burning! I'm also sure that Zeldris is smart enough to know whether or not Escanor is stronger than him after seeing that match up, so... i'd imagine if they did fight it would be because he knew he had a chance and if they don't well... i guess we know what happens next!
