Talk:Chapter 51/@comment-3390396-20131026182455

So... some of the disappointments of the last chapters were remedied. Apparently the official report is that Griamor's also dead. Or he probably is really dead, who knows. We get more affirmation that the Holy Knights are cruel and all - pretty unnecessary, since we've already got enough scenes showcasing their cruelty, but it's okay. The part about Dreyfus and Hendricksen's different factions instantly reminded me of the three factions in World Trigger. It seems like Hendricksen is gaining more and more power - it is also pretty obvious by this point that he is not a good guy.

Now we shift to Elizabeth pledging again to protect the kingdom... meh. Ban and King sparring scene and Meliodas' part were really interesting. I expected Ban to angrily demand answers from Meliodas about Meliodas' demonic aura similar to the demon which killed Elaine. This is also fine. For some reason, however, I find Ban's past, including that fact that Elaine and Meliodas are the only people who accepted him, really cliche. He also wants to revive Elaine with the help of a goddess... my brain is telling me this will be important later on.

Then we have Meliodas! Okay, so this made me so excited. Meliodas knows everything about this Holy War thing, and mentions a battle going on for 3000 years. "Immense menace" and "ancient origins" lead me to speculate that Meliodas is somehow related to the sealing of the Demon Clan, and that the menace will be the revival of the demons. He also mentions a person who has fought beside him for "so long"; would that be his sword or Liz, by any chance? Finally, it also looks like Meliodas is much stronger than he appeared to be. A swipe of a plant cuts a boulder into two... and he wasn't able to defeat Geera with a real sword, albeit damaged. Why would he not use his full strength in previous battles?
