See now that's a part of the reason this doesn't work for me, she had not been previously shown to be a character to try something like this in a situation like this. She was just telling Galan they should move back, if she wanted revenge she definitely strikes me as the type to leave to get reinforcements and fight at a later date.

That's why that moment was not badass to me. In order for something to be badass it has to be awesome while making sense. Her actions here don't make sense to me and I sincerely doubt we're ever going to get an explanation for why what happened with his soul happened other than "because Escanor". Which is really the root of my concerns about Escanor: I don't really think there's going to be an explanation of why his power is so special other than it just is. To be fair, that can work in some circumstances, but the way Nakaba seems to want to use Escanor, I think it's going to be a persistant irritation to me.

Going on about how awesome Escanor is doesn't change that. It makes it worse, actually.

Edit: Also at Spectrum, though I would agree that Galan is an idiot in general, I can't really fault him for this. He had absolutely no reason to think something like this would happen and once the game started he really couldn't back out unless... wel we saw what happened. His first decision to go after Meliodas was stupider than this, because he should have actually been aware of how strong Meliodas should have been, and yet he still went off on his own.

Well, unless you're calling him an idiot for playing a game in the first place instead of just killing them all then and there. Which you might be now that I'm thinking more about it.
