You are more than welcome to discuss anything you would like with me. I agree that we handled this topic properly as opposed to ripping each others heads off when we had different opinions, but, that was what made it an enjoyable discussion :D

I do actually have something to talk about: Matrona

Now, i've come to my own conclusions as to how she survived, which goes along the lines of:

Matrona is much stronger than a tyrant dragon and because of this the poison wasn't as lethal as it was presented to be. It traveled through her body very slowly, but, was incredibly painful and caused her to lose conciousness. This is where Diane thought she died and began crying. I believe that she was still alive in diane's arms and that she herself believed she was done for... until she woke up. The slow spread of poison would also attribute to why her leg is missing and only the bottom half of her leg (where she was hit with the arrow). Furthermore, the symtpoms i mentioned would be capable of taking down a tyrant dragon... but because the poison is meant for a different creature other than giants... and i'm almost positive that giants should have a high resistance to things like this, then this theory of mine would make sense. Since this is only a theory, though, it could and probably will not be the case... but logically this makes sense to me :)

However, the main focus of discussion i would like to present is that Matrona herself should not be able to train Diane to be at her level, in a short amount of time. It is literally impossible for her to. So in short Matrona is on par with a commandment, but diane will not come close after her training. My thoughts on this were these:

What if Matrona and Diane fight the four armed giant commandment together and that is why his design has four arms, because he was meant to fight against two individuals? Furthermore, what if Diane's Gideon is what is going to allow her to kill a commandment? I'm fine with Matrona not killing a commandment, but, she would be the one fighting him evenly, throughout the war. I think that Gideon's abillity has actually been used before and it's deveastating nature has been foreshadowed. Do you remember back in Byzel, where a demon mode Meliodas estimating about 10,300 could not defeat Helebram who was linked up with all those knights? Then diane appeared out of nowhere and wrecked him? Well... Gideon is the name of a hebrew judge, so what if Gideon's ability follows that path? Meaning that if Diane's anger or resolve to protect the people she cares about is transferred towards Gideon, her sacred treasure will grant her an extremely large amount of power for a given time, based on the verdict she has of her opponent (Guilty/not guilty). This would explain why mother catasrophe has only been used once and it was incredibly powerful compared to what Diane does before and after Byzel. So my thoughts are that Diane herself may reach about 8-10K in power and then Gideon will blast her through towards 30K plus for a short amount of time where she defeats a commandment to protect Matrona. It was also foreshadowed that Diane's care for others wasn't a hinderance to her abilities, so why can't it make her more powerful?

This is just a theory of mine that has very little to back it up, but, i am free to discuss it whenever :D

Ps: back in chapter 118-119, when Lostvayne was explained, Diane was about to explain what her treasure does... but either did not know or this explanation was cut from the plot so it could be revealed later. Just another small bit of foreshadowing that Gideon's special ability would be a key point in Diane's power :D

I think most of the sins are going to rely on their sacred treasures to become more powerful than their commandment opponents. Diane and King especially will do this, although not sure how the others will go.
