Seven Deadly Sins (Nanatsu no Taizai) (2014) s02e02 Episode Script

Our Fighting Festival

1 [Goddess.]
First, you must kill a certain person.
-[Ban.]
Are you serious? -At present, he is known by this name, Seven Deadly Sins, Dragon Sin Meliodas.
[both gasp.]
If I kill you right now, then she'll be brought back to life! All right, then, but for now, as The Seven Deadly Sins' Fox Sin, you need to do your duty.
Captain's orders.
Let's wait till this is all over.
Then we can settle things.
[Meliodas.]
Don't think I've forgotten our promise.
Tomorrow morning, top of the mountain behind us, okay? [Ban.]
Captain.
[chuckles.]
[Narrator.]
This is a tale of ancient times, an era before the human and non-human worlds were forever divided.
Hendrickson, Dreyfus-- the battle to reclaim the capital from the Holy Knight grand masters has ended.
Still, the signs of Holy War have yet to be eliminated, and a new battle is about to begin.
But some bravely face the danger.
They are The Seven Deadly Sins.
[music playing.]
[singing in Japanese.]
Sorry to keep you-- -[Hawk.]
Hey, Ban! -Eh? Huh? You're the only one who's late to this party.
Huh?! [chattering.]
Been waiting for you, slowpoke.
I just love a good festival.
These feelings, I don't know what to do.
-I have the chills.
-Oh, yeah, that's right.
You missed the last Fighting Festival, didn't you? [sputters.]
Hey there, Ban.
Long time, no see.
[groans.]
Damn it, Captain! Just what in the hell is going on here?! What's with all these freakin' spectators?! Don't ask me.
I don't know.
By the time I got out here, they were already gathering and getting hyped up.
How in the world could they-- [gasps.]
Hey! Master! -[Hawk.]
Hmm? -Is this your doing?! You were listening in on my conversation -with the captain, weren't you?! -Sure.
It's a fight, after all.
What could be better than having an audience cheering you on? How dare you try and turn my fight into some kind of damn festival.
Sir Ban, I beg you, please don't be hard on Hawk.
When he heard you two discussing it, he asked all of us to come and watch.
Because to Hawk and the rest of us, you and Meliodas are so dear, we couldn't bear it if anything happened to you.
-Elizabeth.
-Eh? At this point, there's no need to spell it out for him, you know? Fox Sin of Greed Ban, have you forgotten? As it clearly states in The Seven Deadly Sins' Seven Codes, Article Six, "Any fight to the death between fellow Sins must be stopped by the other Sins working in concert.
" In other words, if you and the captain here are planning to fight to the death for real then the four of us will have to use all our might to stop you.
So it's like that, huh? Hey, Merlin, I dare you to say that again.
We'll stop you.
[grunts.]
Sounds like fun.
[crowd gasps.]
But right now, my only business is with the captain, so you gawkers can shut up and back off.
You could have saved all the fuss.
I'm not planning on fighting to the death.
[sighs.]
[Ban.]
Seven Deadly Sins' Seven Codes, Article Five.
"Any bad blood existing between fellow Sins must be settled through a fight.
" Huh.
Very well, then.
Now we won't do anything uncivilized.
Wow, who knew we had a code like that? [King.]
You were the one who thought it up, Captain! In that case, if you're going to fight, then do it no-holds-barred.
Perfect Cube! Awesome! This thing is amazing.
Ha! Now you can both brawl to your hearts' content without having to worry about collateral damage.
Not to mention, we can sit back and watch with no fear.
The captain of The Seven Deadly Sins and his fellow Sin going one-on-one? We might never get to see something like this again.
A brutal clash between the two heroes who saved the kingdom.
Incredible.
Heh.
I'm the one who saved the kingdom, but whatever.
Ban, you better not lose, or I'll never forgive you! This will be something we'll not soon forget.
Eh, it's nothing new to someone like me.
Come on.
Don't say that.
[Gilthunder.]
Even among The Seven Deadly Sins, who grace the top echelon in the Holy Knights, those two are said to be exceptionally gifted fighters.
[gasps.]
Not good.
Eh, what's wrong, Gil? I can't stop my heart from pounding! It's so exciting! Okay.
Whatever floats your boat, man.
All right, then.
Come at me, Captain.
Bring it on.
All righty.
I'm not holding back, okay? Ready? [both yell.]
[Meliodas grunts.]
No! Sir Meliodas! Uh-oh! Ban got the better of him.
No.
Look again.
[Ban grunts.]
-[Gilthunder.]
It's a draw.
-[coughs.]
[chuckles.]
[chuckles.]
[crowd cheering.]
-Oh, man.
-Did you see that? No! It happened so fast, I couldn't see anything.
So this is a Fighting Festival.
Wait.
You're actually crying? [cries.]
Maybe a little.
Well, those two were your childhood idols.
I guess I understand.
They're amazing.
These guys are beyond anything I-- [King.]
What's with the fooling around, you two?! He's right! If you're gonna settle the score, you might as well go at each other like there's no tomorrow! From what I can tell, they're only fighting at 13% of their total strength.
[man.]
You mean they're not going all out? [man #2.]
Pretty amazing.
[man #3.]
Yeah.
Seriously! I should probably stretch a little, or I'll end up getting hurt, you know? Oh, one more thing.
This fight is just between Ban and me.
Got it? If you make too much of a ruckus and distract us, I'm gonna knock all of you into next week! [crowd gasps.]
Oh.
I'm sorry.
Great.
Now he's angry at us.
[laughs.]
I can't help but worry.
That said, Elizabeth is the one exception to the rule.
-Huh? -Root for me like there's no tomorrow, okay? [chuckles.]
[gasps.]
Behind you! Huh? Sir Meliodas! [crowd gasping.]
[groans.]
[grunts.]
For God's sake, where in the world did Elizabeth run off to? [gasps.]
[gasps.]
[gasps.]
[panting.]
Sire did you see something? [grunts.]
[chuckles.]
[blows landing.]
[crowd chattering.]
-[gasps.]
-You're wondering if those two might actually end up killing each other for real, aren't you? Uh-huh.
You don't have to worry, because the rest of us won't let that happen, no matter what.
[Elizabeth.]
Right.
Don't worry, 'cause if anything happens to you, you've always got me, Diane.
I swear, I-- -[Howzer.]
Diane! -[groans.]
[laughs.]
Huh? Trust me.
It's gonna be fine, okay? -Huh? -Hmph.
Uh [groans.]
Now listen.
I know that you're [growls.]
Huh?! Wait! What?! What's going on?! [chuckles.]
What the-- [stammering.]
Hey.
[grumbles.]
[King laughs.]
Why, you little punk! -[yelps.]
Yaah! -Hmph.
Hey! You better cut that out.
No, you cut it out! Howzer, what are you doing? Guys, take it easy.
[man.]
What's going on? [man #2.]
Another fight just broke out.
[Hawk.]
Now simmer down, you two.
You're acting like a couple of lovesick pups.
-What did you say? -So how about it? You two should take this opportunity and settle the score by fighting each other fair and square.
Sound good? [both gasp.]
Yeah, you can count me in.
Same here.
[both grunt.]
[man.]
Over here! We got The Seven Deadly Sins' King versus the Holy Knight Howzer! -Are you serious? -Awesome! Oh, man.
A fight against King.
Damn it! I am so jealous of Howzer! [snickers.]
Huh? Hey, what's up with those two over there? Hmm.
What are those guys up to? What the hell are you looking at?! Fight me! [chuckles.]
Now, that's what I like to see.
[Hawk.]
Get your ale here! I've got a whole barrel full! Take it from me, tastes even better when you're watching a fight! Only three silver coins a pint, folks! Hey, I'll have one.
Yeah, I'll have one, too.
You got it, dudes.
Jeez, I'm already so busy with this ale business, it's like I woke up in hog heaven.
[laughs.]
[man.]
Who would have thought we'd get to see a Seven Deadly Sin battle this close? Now, then, let's get this started, shall we? Right.
[Hawk.]
Hold on a second! -No weapons allowed.
-Huh? I mean, that's just common sense.
You're fighting man-to-man, right? Take a look at those two.
[boom.]
Huh? A fistfight will be fine with me.
All right.
Now let's get going.
Sounds good.
[Diane.]
Is King gonna be okay? King, the Fairy King, this is the first time I've ever seen him fight without weapons! Aw, man.
I'm so excited, I can't take it! [thinking.]
This is a Fairy Clan battle dance handed down through the ages.
For the one I love, I shall unveil it.
Now, Dancing Fairy! [gasps.]
[yelling.]
What in the Hah! [men groan.]
Well done.
You really are a Holy Knight.
Such immense power.
-[chuckles.]
-[King grunting.]
[yells, sighs.]
[Gilthunder.]
Uh, so weak.
[crowd cheers.]
Eh? [crowd chattering.]
[man.]
Amazing! [Diane.]
King! Are you all right? [King.]
Diane.
Let me help.
Heh.
[King.]
Okay.
[whimpers.]
Diane, why? [growls.]
Whoa! That was pretty rough! Come on, King! I can't see! You don't need to see this.
[Hawk.]
Elizabeth, are you okay? I feel like I've been drained of blood.
What do you say, Ban? Are we finished? Ha ha! You kidding? The festival's just getting started.
[growls.]
Hunter Fest! What in the world is he up to? He's gonna steal the captain's power again.
[chuckles.]
[snaps fingers.]
-Merlin? -Where'd she go? Never seen a move like that.
Huh? What's going on? All of a sudden, my legs feel so limp.
[groans.]
Something's wrong.
[crowd groaning.]
All the strength in my body is -[sighs.]
-[squeals.]
What in the world is going on here? Elizabeth, what's going on?! I-I don't know.
Feels like all my strength has been sapped from my body.
Yeah, it's the same for me, too.
[gasps.]
Huh.
So you had a secret ace in the hole.
Nice one.
Why didn't you take away my power, then? Give me a break.
Even if I did, you still have your own ace in the hole, don't you? Besides, honestly, those people were really starting to get on my last nerve.
What an incredible move.
Everybody who's in the nearby vicinity has been robbed of more than 50% of their strength.
[Merlin.]
This will be quite the spectacle.
Ban.
Show me that secret last resort you've got tucked away, Captain.
Guess I have no choice.
You want it, you got it! [laughs.]
Oh, man.
He's caught between the wall and that barrage of punches.
[Hawk.]
This is bad.
I never thought that he'd start going after Meliodas for real.
-[gasps.]
-No, Captain.
[Elizabeth.]
Sir Ban! Please.
That's enough.
You have to stop this! You'll kill him.
This is awful.
[King.]
Ban.
Ban, listen to me.
This isn't something Elaine would want you to do! Shut your mouth! You don't have to tell me that! -Huh? -Ban.
[chuckles.]
There's no longer a reason for this battle to continue.
Incomprehensible, but I must admit it is interesting.
[yells.]
[chuckles.]
Heh heh.
I can take 20 of those.
[gasps.]
[grunts.]
[winces.]
Fox Hunt! Eh? Gotta say, nothing compares -to battling it out with you, Captain.
-Yeah.
Right back at you.
[Ban chuckles.]
[both laughing.]
[cube shatters.]
The strength in my body It came back.
[Hawk.]
It's so smoky, I can't tell who won.
[King.]
If we've got the power back that Ban stole from us, then [coughing.]
Man, I'm wiped out.
Hey, Captain, you alive or what? Yeah, just barely.
Whew! Now, that was rough.
So what about you, Ban? How are you holding up? Heh.
I mean, I know you're not dead.
Yeah, but I'm so drained, I won't be moving anytime soon.
[chuckles.]
[Meliodas.]
Looks like we'll have to settle the score another time, huh? Mm-hmm.
Looks like it.
[overlapping chatter.]
Oh, man, that was thrilling.
But we did go through hell to watch everything.
[Griamore.]
True.
It's pretty frightening to think that those two men were ever our enemies.
Unbelievable.
Really? I didn't think they were all that.
[Marmas.]
Says the guy who peed his pants.
Jeez, I seriously can't keep up with those two.
-I mean, really.
-Same here, but thank goodness they're both all right.
[Ban.]
Who's all right, exactly? Master, why don't you let me lean on you? [Hawk.]
Unh-unh.
Not happening.
Elizabeth, you're being awfully quiet.
Is something the matter? Sir Meliodas, you simply went too far today! [Hawk.]
Uh-oh, you made her mad.
[Ban.]
Hey, come on.
What's your problem, guys? [Meliodas.]
How cold is that? Am I right, Ban? Heh.
Yeah, you said it.
Yo, Captain Hmm? about the other day Uh, the other day? [Ban.]
When I-- for her sake, I went after you.
Oh.
What about it? [Ban sighs.]
Forget it.
It's nothing.
Huh? [Ban.]
Hey, what about the Goddess? If you're talking about that horn, I demolished it.
No big deal.
Huh? Why'd you do that? Well, what do you mean why? Trust me.
That wasn't just some horn.
Blowhard is more like it.
[laughs.]
Man, that's a good one.
I know, right? Bartra's gonna be super upset, though.
Oh, and by the way, Captain, I've had something on my mind for a while now I wanted to discuss.
Hey, what a coincidence.
I bet I've had the same thought.
[both.]
Let's get a drink! [music playing.]
[singing in Japanese.]
[man.]
So tell me, this gray bird that was shaped like an arm, which direction was it coming from? Uh, let's see.
I think it was coming from Liones.
Liones, eh? Do you know which way it was heading? Well, uh [sighs.]
I mean, if I were to guess, I'd say probably toward the Zhuhur Valley, since nobody ever goes near there.
It's kind of a spooky place, and there are all these rumors about scary monsters that live out that way.
Is that so? Thank you.
[thunder crashing.]
I am grateful.
