So that means Zeldris was not a Commandment back then.

Gowther(Selfessness), Estarossa(Love), Galan(Truth), Monspiet(Reticence), Derrierie(Purity), Karmadios(Piety), Aranak(dead, Repose or Patience), Zeno(dead, Repose or Patience), Merascylla(Faith). That makes seven active ones assuming Grayroad(Pacifism) is not a member.

I wonder, what was Mel's decree then? Karmadios didn't inherit it since both were active for a certain period of time. It must have been unique.

It would be odd but not impossible for Meliodas to have been Pacifism. If he was cursed prior to his betrayal, which is plausible due to his looking younger than Estarossa even at this point in time, then his curse would nullify the effects of Pacifism on his own body.

BTW @FKS, the romanized names put on the illustration cards are more official than anything else, right? RH was using Oslo, and for some reason Oslow became accepted as official. IIRC names like Drole have been accepted because of the 2nd Fan Book, but Oslo didn't have a page in this book(I think?).

The first fanbook gave Oslow as the "official" name for the Black Hound. But yeah, since the volumes' inner pages are drawn by Nakaba himself, you can't get any more official than these, so Oslo is the way to go.
The romanizations given in the fanbooks should be taken with a grain of salt at the very least.

Ah yes, so Mel was most likely Pacifism.

So it's likely that names like Drole are not official as well, because it looks like they just copy pasted CR's translations. From Drole to Balor, it doesn't make sense.

Not only does it not make sense but the name also kinda takes away the seriousness of the character since it means funny in French.

 

[Sylphe]

So Karmadios commandment was changed from Betrayal to Piety ? That sure as hell makes more sense !!!
Like i said back then ( when the chapter was released), it was strange that his commandment would be a negative value when all the others we saw so far was more like virtues so i assumed that Nakaba made a mistake ! But it's understandable since it's very easy to mix the commandments with what triggers them ! some of us readers did make that mistake after all !

Volume 26 cover here:

 

[Demonspeed]

Good cover. I like what Nakaba did with the two eyes, it's as if he was showing the face of the two Gowther at the same time.

 

[Baum]

In a sense it's actually 3 Gowthers lel
The commandment, the doll, the creator.

 

[Arjuna]

Nice volume cover.

The way Nakaba Sensei distinguished the two eyes of Gowther-it reflects the will of both Demon Gowther and Doll Gowther.

 

[danh]

So now there already been 26 volumes, can we expect more than 30 volumes in the furture??

 

[Baum]

I vaguely remember the number 40 as series target but don't quote me on that.

Knowing myself it was probably for a different series lol

Spoiler: Volume 26 content

I was starting to think Merlin was unrelated to the Demon clan but after the illustration with Oslo and the Rou reveal I am considering this possibility again.

TL for the designs:

Spoiler

Pic 1:
"The Seven Deadly Sins" designs II
Box: He's the Commandment possessing the Selflessness decree and the creator of Gowther the Goat's Sin of Lust of the Seven Deadly Sins. Because his commandment brings a curse on every person who harbors a self desire or an ambition, even the Demons from Hell, he was imprisoned five hundred years in the prison of the Demon world by the Demon king who gave it to him.
While D acted as a base for his design, he was given the wheelchair and grey hair and turned into a middle-aged magician. His direct subordinate is Fraudrin who still has faith in Gowther (both of them).
Box: Gowther
Between C and D: The mark is the same on the forehead.

Pic 2:
"The Seven Deadly Sins" designs III
Box: She's the daughter of the tenth king of Liones and the sister of the current king Bartra and of Delzel the chief of the Pleiades of the Azure Sky.
Although she untimely died at only 16, her last moments were satisfying for her. Though she has a heart illness, she has a lively personality, longs for adventures and love, and loves stories.
Box: Nadja
Text: She looks a bit like Veronica.
Box: She can vaguely remind you of her niece Veronica.

And the TL for the page with Indura since the other version bothered me:

Spoiler

What's happening…?

Those two's transformations
and these overly sinister magic powers of theirs!!

…I never thought I'd catch the moment my comrades turned Indura
before my eyes once again.

Say… Barouja,
where are you wandering right now?

I'll have you know the spelling of the new name isn't final though

What in the illustration made you consider the possibility?

It's true that she looks a little evil on it but I am consider this possibility again because of the Oslo illustration and what they revealed after. Oslo is Rou's reincarnation so he is linked to that war. It could mean that there are hints regarding Merlin's origins in this volume.

 

[Baum]

I hope Baruja's one of the Knights. He seems to have been a commandment, or is at the very least really old since he fought with Galan, so it might point towards the 6 being on the same level as the TC after all. Maybe?

That silhouette of him looks pretty rad.

 

[Gallon]

He was probably one of the Ten Commandments; a power level of over 50,000 is pretty amazing, so I'm glad to see there were more demons that powerful.
I'm starting to wonder how old the Demon King is, though. There were probably no predecessors of his, so I'm assuming he's cursed himself like he did with Meliodas in order to live eternally.

Interesting. Could be the case since he was not with the other Commandments when Mel was the leader.
