Review of Episode 9 of the Anime Seven Deadly Sins: Dragon’s Judgment

This article contains my personal opinion about the ninth episode of seven deadly sins: dragon’s judgment. This episode is emotional and a bit exciting because now Ban and Meliodas are out of Purgatory hell but they are still not in real action. I liked one thing that Ban decided to lose his eternal life to save his love of life Elaine. On the other hand, Merlin and Escanor are fighting desperately and are on edge against the original demon. The emotional part of the episode was how one of Archangel, Ludociel became vulnerable in Princess Margaret’s body. To be frank from the beginning of the series, I hated his guts but when he begs Hendrickson to take him to his brother because he doesn’t even have the strength to stand or fly then I felt sorry for him. Hendrickson who acted loyally to Ludociel from the beginning separated Ludociel from Margaret’s body by using the Purge spell which was only possible when the target is weak and vulnerable. He directs Gil to take Margaret and escape from there and he will cover for them. I got surprised by the fact Ludociel has got a change of heart when I thought he might punish Hendrickson for his betrayal rather he forgives Hendrickson and joins the fight against the original demon to save Merlin who was activating time halting spell which prevents Meliodas from becoming Demon King. Though the rest of the seven deadly sin members are heading to Camelot with Mael but King engages to protect Merlin from a remote area. In this form, he can use only one weapon but still, it was effective. The episode ends when Meal saves Escanor who was tossed due to an attack from the original demon. I think in later episodes, Ban may also join the fight in Camelot, and maybe Merlin fails to activate the spell and New demon King wakes up. Let’s see what happens when Meliodas wakes up. Whether he remembers his friends and breaks the curse of Elizabeth or with overwhelming power he destroys everyone.
