Synopsis
A bard recites the prophecy of a three-years last-longing unceasing winter falling in the land of Yggdrasil and how heroes from a distant land are fated to save this world from the imminent chaos.

Somewhere, Sigurd and his squad, are in an expedition at the Elua Forest aiming to exterminate Demonic Beasts that escaped from Jotunnheim, outside of Ymir's eyelashes. After the prince sucessfully slays the snowfield beast that was giving a hard time to his soldiers, one of them reported to Sigurd about the rumored moving tavern runned by fearful demons being nearby, heading towards the Elua Plains.

Soldiers from the Kingdom of Xatenburg advance towards the Boar Hat, but they are defeated by Meliodas. The soldiers, fearing Meliodas' dragon symbol, together with his immense power, assume that him must be the incarnation of the Evil Dragon Fafnir. Sigurd, whose father was slayed by that dragon, wields Gram towards the Dragon Sin, surrounding him with a mysterious black aura that drastically reduces his powers and stamina. Not seeing any possibility of victory, Meliodas asks Hawk Mama to take the rest of the group to safety while him, Ban and King distracts the Prince of Xatenburg and his troop. In the verge of defeat, King summons Oslo at the last moment and the Black Hound manages to save the trio from Gram's final blow, taking them back to the Boar Hat with the rest of the group. However, Sigurd keep track of the Sins' magic with Gram, redirecting his troups towards their direction, aiming to exterminate Meliodas at any cost.

Before the Sins were dragged into this mysterious world, Meliodas was walking through the libray of Liones' castle when a book suddenly falls off from the shelf. Coincidentally, the book is the same one which Meliodas used to read to an infant Elizabeth regarding the story of a three years long winter. When the Dragon Sin put his attention away from the old book, he saw himself not the castle of Liones anymore, but in a strange snowfield. Shortly after, Meliodas reunites with the remaining sins, Elizabeth, Hawk and Hawk Mama, who were also mysteriously transported to this environment.

Now reunited, the group starts their work at the Boar Hat as a way to collect information from the costumers about this strange place. While serving their otherworldly costumers in need of a good local of leisure after enduring three years of unending winter, the group is astonished by a hooded figure that suddenly appeared at the tavern, calling Meliodas his dad before collapsing.

The hooded figure introduces himself as Fenrir a beastman who was searching for his father Loki. The Sins travel across looking for his father. This got the attention of Sigurd, who order his soldiers to advance towards the Boar Hat. Sigurd demanded them to surrender Fenrir. Fenrir was about to give himself up to protect the Sins, when Meliodas intervenes saying that even if he complied with Sigurd's demands they would still have attacked them regardless. Meliodas then gets sick and weakened due to Sigurd's sword effects.

Later, the bard Grimnir appears and decides to follow the Sins in hopes of writing stories about them.

Shall, a mysterious girl would with some ability to tell the future, also shows up at the tavern.

The Sins would also meet Thonar when she showed up at the Boar Hat.

Later, while following some clues about Loki whereabouts, they encounter the priest Vali who threatens them.

Eventually, they arrive at a village being terrorized by the giants Greib and Gjalga, who are finally driven off by the Sins.

The Sins discover that Ymir's Wall, the only obstacle stopping the giants from invading, has collapsed.

Meliodas leaves alone, with Ban following, realizing Sigurd could track them. Meliodas has a second encounter with him, until Brunhild's own army intervenes during the fight and forces Sigurd to withdraw, not risking conflict with her nation. Ban and Fenrir goes out in search for a antidote for Meliodas' sickness.

While the Sins are trying to stop the rampaging Giants after the wall was breached, Vali appears, chasing after the Sins thinking they are minions of Demons. Diane attempts to turn into her Giant size to scare them off but ends up backfiring. Brunhild manages to make Vali stand down by taking on the Sins with her troop. The Sins manage to fight off all of Brunhild's troops off, until she is the only one left in the battlefield, though Vali still accuses them of being in league with Demons. Brunhild said knows they are not demons but warriors of a far away land and properly introduced herself. Luckily a thunderstorm gave the Sins opportunity to escape on Hawk Mama.
