basing of what someone else posted
theory with some small w
I: Esterossa the Absolute (worship only one god)
II: Merascylla of Faith (respect god's image)
III: mospiet of the Name (respect god's name)
IV: fradulin of the Ritual (show your respect by taking place in god's religious ceremonies)
V: balor/dolor of Obedience (respect your parents)
VI: Meliodas(past)/zeldris of Mercy (the vampire chick noted that zeldris didn't kill for meliodas sake), (the full commandment could be, "those for forsake mercy shall face my wrath" (do not kill(without being provoked) or commint unmercyful acts)
VII: octtololli of Chastity (don't give in to or act out of perversion)
VIII: naked chick of Purity (don't steal or harbor similar ill intentions)
IX: Galan of Truth (don't tell lies or hide the truth)
X: the 100 faces masked blob? of Continence (don't desire that which others have)
The demon king could of been testing Zeldris to see if he could still be an effective warrior when he was took up meliodas old role and he did it to not forsake there family.
everytime meliodas has used his wrath, someone has done something unmercy it could be that he retained this commandment or still follows it due to his wraths nature and his brother has it's effect in a lessar wrath, idk it just fis meliodas and zeldris backstory
i mean galan did kinda recongise the power of darkness maybe he knew it was his 'old' commandment
times used
fraudlin: masscaring the entire kingdom
holy knights killing/hurting an innocent girl
galan killing alot of people
those all seem acts of non mercy
it's also noted meliodas has always acted with alot of mercy
