Baste Dungeon

Baste Dungeon (ベテス監獄) is a large prison located 8 miles southwest of Dalmary Town; known for holding the notorious criminal Ban, of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Background
Five years before the beginning of the series, the Weird Fangs confronted Ban of the Seven Deadly Sins. The resulting battle ended in Ban's capture and imprisonment in Baste Dungeon, where they remained as the dungeon's four guardians.

Baste Dungeon Arc
After learning that two of the Seven Deadly Sins have arrived in Dalmary Town, one of which is critically injured, Friesia decides to launch a first strike in order to halt their advance.

Ban, overhearing from the guards that Meliodas is there, decides to escape. He is confronted by Jericho, an apprentice Holy Knight, who tries to kill him. Ban easily dodges all of Jericho's slashes, while having her slashes cut her hair, and insults her by suggesting she would make a talented hairdresser. Wondering how Ban was able to move so deftly with such severe wounds, Jericho is amazed to find that all Ban's wounds have healed. He then takes Jerichio's armor and clothes in an attempt to find decent armor before leaving.

After his defeat by Meliodas and subsequent escape, Golgius returns to the dungeon and encounters Ruin and Freesia, who have finished getting ready to fight Meliodas and Diane.

An angered and embarrassed Jerichio is, later, seen to be ordering the soldiers to bring a change of clothes and armor and to look for Ban. At the same time, somewhere else Ban throws away Jerichio's armor which he had stolen earlier, complaining that it is too small for him. He then comes across a prison guard lustfully looking at a captive woman, Cenette, and glances at her. Showing interest in her, he proceeds to smash the guard's head into the bars and enters the cell by bending the bars, much to her surprise. He tells Cenette that she is his, before stealing the dagger that she had hidden in her clothes. He looks at it and even tests it out by cutting her chains. She thanks him for releasing her, and requests for the dagger back, only for Ban to refuse and state that it belonged to him.

Jude then arrives, telling Ban that he is going to die, surprising Cenette. Ban only greets him in return and asks him for the reason, with Jude repling that they have no more use for him since he has fulfilled his role as a bait for Meliodas. Ban only laughs at the answer, when Jude reminds Ban who caught and tortured him. Ban engages Jude in combat, and is stabbed in the chest by Jude's weapon. He then tells Jude that the reason he let himself get captured was to feel pain that could make him feel alive. Removing the weapon out of his chest, he easily stabs and kills Jude in the chest, whilst telling him of his excitement about the Holy Knights declaring war on the Seven Deadly Sins. After defeating Ruin and Freesia, Meliodas, Diane and Hork enter the dungeon, leading Golgius to trigger the Eternal Seal spell to trap them inside. Inside, the three encounter Ban and the fleeing Cenette. Despite the Holy Knights' spell, however, the dungeon is easily destroyed by Meliodas and Ban's "greeting", greatly shocking Jerichio and Golgius.
