Meliodas discussing what happened with a commandment might entail a talk between him and Zeldris at some stage as they exchange blows. I'd like to get at least a gist of what happened back then, that would be nice.

It's interesting that you should mention this point as i think the raws may portray his character slightly better than the english translation, therefore it might be said that the english translation has lost some of the characterization that the original text displayed. I would imagine that when RHS releases their version of this chapter, it will be more accurate than Ms's... so i wait until i read that one.

As for my opinion on this, i could probably writre a lot about it. Let's start with Mel vs Galan... i think that this fight was well and was executed. This fight's main purpose was to shwocase how strong Meliodas's full power was compared to a weakened commandment and in that reagard it did it's role well. It also progressed the plot and created the plot point of them all splitting into groups of two, which i found quite interesting. The fraudrin situation, based upon the lack of resistance Fraudrin and the other commandment put up, would highly suggest that this was indeed a ploy to be captured by Denzel and then take him out later. The way he was strategically taken down and the fact that he is more than likely weaker in Dreyfus's body than his own is enough evidence/assumption to deem the outcome of this fight believable and good for later in the plot, as i'm sure this will be relevant. Finally, Galan vs Escanor is a lot like Mel vs Galan... it shares the same basic principle of showcasing how strong a character is without them being at their max. Galan turning to stone opens the door to new possibilities and plot points which may be relevant in the future and his "death", although uncertain and not completely set in stone, may lead to various ways people may break curses and such. Merascylla's death was unessecary in my opinion, i would have much prefered her to either fight Escanor and show everything she had up her sleeve or for her to have run away and accepted Escanor's act of chivalry. All in all, their deaths are not as certain as one might think from the reading the chapter over. Merascylla has a less likely chance of coming back unfortunately, however, if we had seen the extent of what she could do and that she was mainly a support character for the comamndments, using magic and such, it may be more believabel that their support and their ability to create an undead army is actually gone. She may not be 100% deceased, however, if she does survive she will have physical and mental scars rendering her unable to fight in the upcoming war. I would assume that if Galan broke out of his petrifictaion he would also have mental scars of Escanor being a "monster"!

I do believe that this little quirk of Escanor's may play a role in why he may get along with woman more so than men, simply because daytime Escanor is nicer towards them. This may have extended to Diane and Merlin in the seven deadly sins and i'm going to bet that this "chivalry" is mainly to impress Merlin and because he believes he is an honorable holy knight, even night Escanor was proud of that.
