Chapter 149

is the 149th chapter of the manga, Nanatsu no Taizai.

Short Summary
The Galan Game commences! After surviving a swift initial strike from Escanor, Galan uses his Power, Critical Over, to boost his strength to its limits. However, even that proves futile against the blessed human. As Escanor initiates his finishing blow, Galan flees in fear, turning himself to stone and ending the Galan Game.

Long Summary
Revealing himself as the Lion's Sin of Pride, Escanor stands quietly as Galan and Merascylla mock him for his arrogance as a human. For a moment, Escanor plays along, before using Rhitta to slice Galan in two. Merascylla is initially shocked by this display of power, but Galan quickly regenerates.

His instincts telling him that Escanor must be defeated immediately, Galan uses his Power, Critical Over, boosting his physical strength to its limits. With this new strength, he attempts to slay Escanor to no avail, causing an enormous shockwave in the process.

Meanwhile, Merlin and Meliodas sense Escanor's steadily rising power from the Boar Hat.

Galan refuses to back down from the human, despite Merascylla's protests. However, as Escanor charges up for one final strike, Galan fears for his life and flees, turning himself to stone. Escanor laments being unable to attack and declares the Galan Game complete, while Merascylla looks upon Galan's petrified body with disappointment.
