After all, he'd always loved Merlin, the Boar's Sin of Gluttony. I think we all know by now that it HAS to be Escanor... too many things suggest it is, not just the same of the bar, but, everything in the last panel. Plus we are not discussing whether or not it is Escanor, we are discussing why he could potentially be in his weaker state :)

Yeah, I'm bewildered by how people keep going on about "hints" that this is Escanor. Besides the mustache he looks identical to him and going from the last page he's got the same demeanor. Which also makes people calling him an old man weirder.

If we didn't see his face, then yes, the bar name, axe, and Seven Deadly Sins, wine would be hints, as it stands now, they're just reinforcement of what should already be obvious.

And adding on to that, I get abit annoyed when people pat themselves on the back for picking up things that weren't ever hidden. Everyone made the connection to Merlin and the bar's name.
