Some spoilers for Edinburgh part 3

Escanor's power follows the sun. He is the strongest at noon-afternoon, when the sun is the brightest, weakest at midnight when there is no sun.

Meliodas is apparently Zeldoris's older brother

Edit:  Added some preliminary translations from Ferdinbeer of Redhawkscans

Some pointers:

1. Zeldris calls Estarossa 兄者 (anija) which is a respectful way of addressing an older brother. However, I have a hunch that they're not actually related. Maybe Zeldris calls Estarossa that out of respect and not blood because Mel and Zeldris are so similar but Estarossa isn't. At least, that's my theory. If all three of them indeed are related, we only know that Zeldris is younger than both Estarossa and Meliodas.

2. Meliodas calls himself "a failure of an older brother." Not necessarily "bad" because he did something morally wrong (although that could certainly be the case), but it's more of a "I failed you as a brother" sort of thing.

3. Zeldris and Gelda relationship is unconfirmed. The Japanese blogger that posted the pictures theorized that they were romantically involved and it's very possible, but from what we seemed to have been given in VoE part 3, we only know that Zeldris was charged with executing the vampires, but instead chose to seal them  for her sake. We don't know why he did it, we only know that he did it for her.

4. Merlin knocks out Escanor with Gowther's blackout arrow amplified with her magic.
