Meliodas vs. Gilthunder

Meliodas vs. Gilthunder is a battle fought between Meliodas of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Holy Knight Gilthunder.

Prologue
The journey of Meliodas and Elizabeth lead them to the Forest of White Dreams, where they continued searching for a member of the Seven Deadly Sins. There, they encountered the Prankster Imps who thought that they were the Holy Knights and tried to stop them. But they weren't able to stop Meliodas, and even accidentally brought them to Diane. Having reunited with Diane, Meliodas had some conversation with her and asked about his past, since he didn't remember anything. Soon afterwards, Gilthunder arrives and binds everyone with his lighting magic.

Battle
Gilthunder states that he wants to have revenge for his father and to prove that he has surpassed the Sevin Deadly Sins, so he decides to release Meliodas in order to fight. But before he is able to released them, Meliodas and Diane easily breaks his spell. Meliodas orders Diane to not interfere and he prepares for the battle. Gilthunder attacks first, using a powerful lighting attack that fell from the sky. Meliodas repels the spell back at him, although Gilthunder also easily dodges the attack and gets behind him. Gilthunder slashes him from behind, causing him to fall down. Meliodas falls onto the ground, seemingly in his final moments. He asks about the other 5 Deadly Sins, and Gilthunder decided to grant him his supposedly final wish, telling him that 3 of them remain unknown, whilst the Sin of Greed is held captive in Baste Dungeon and the Sin of Sloth has perished in the Capital of the Dead. Hearing that, Meliodas jumps back up and Gilthunder realizes that he let himself to get hurt on purpose, in order to obtain information of the other Sins. Meliodas didn't want to fight anymore, but Gilthunder was thinking differently. He returns to attack Meliodas, who dodges the continuous slashes with ease. He eventually gets behind Meliodas and points his sword towards his neck. Immediately, Diane interrupts the battle and grabs him with a hand. He tries to escape from her grasp and discharges lighting, when Diane throws him far away from the forest, thus ending the fight.

Aftermath
Gilthunder is seen falling down from the sky into a church from a nearby city. He walks out seemingly untouched from the remnants of the collapsed church, whilst the priests and civilians cry for help. After learning the location of 2 of the Sins, the group decides to go find the Sin of Greed, who is located in the Baste Dungeon.
