Long Synopsis
Worried that Meliodas is a Holy Knight, the Prankster Imps decided to wake up Diane who was sleeping in the Forest of White Dreams. As soon as she woke up, Diane grabbed hold of Meliodas with her left hand, only to realize that Meliodas was her captain. Hork and Elizabeth then realized that she was the Sin of Envy, Diane. As soon as Diane discovered that Meliodas was travelling with Elizabeth, she got jealous and threw him away, calling him a cheater. The impact of her thrust destroyed areas of the surrounding forest. She continues crying and rampaging until finally, she calmed down and listened to the reason why they were travelling.

When Meliodas revealed that he had no memory of what had happened 10 years ago, Diane explained what had happened. She told him that 10 years ago, during the National Foundation Festival, the Seven Deadly Sins were summoned by the Great Holy Knight, Zaratras. However, when they arrived at the meeting point, they only could discover his dead body, which was completely skewered with spears. The Seven Deadly Sins were then surrounded by all the knights of the kingdom, and were then branded as traitors of Britannia. After the recollection, Diane decided to help search for the Seven Deadly Sins. Immediately afterwards, the group encounters Gilthunder of the Holy Knights who paralyzed them with him electrical abilities.
