Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Five Things From. This time we are looking back at season 3 episode 7 of Seven Deadly Sins, Where Memories Lead. Which five things stood out and for what reasons? Let’s take a closer look…
- Deterioration
We jumped straight back into where we left off as King discovered that Diane had no memory of him (at least in his current form). Rather than it be her specifically forgetting King, it was more that she had forgotten everything that had happened after a certain point in time. Things were noticeably getting worse as she forgot more and more (and tried to eat Hawk!) to which Merlin felt that they just needed to keep an eye on her for a time being. That was easier said than done as almost immediately after that, Diane had disappeared. You are going to find it hard to keep a scared and confused giant anywhere they don’t want to be!
2. What’s the point?
Merlin has now found a way to project an image of her physical self around the magic cube that her soul is trapped in. It makes you question what the point was to have Merlin taken out in the last episode. One has to believe that it is only because she is too overpowered to be a regular character so they had to find a way to take her magic away. She must still have some control over magic or how would she have made this illusion of herself???
3. Gowther
I’m just done with Gowther at this point. He openly admitted to wiping Diane’s memories on nothing more than a petty whim. He is more trouble than he is worth and I wish they were all more angry with him! Just cut him off; the guy is a liability!
4. Matrona
Most of the episode was made up of flashbacks of Diane’s time with the giants. She was looked after by a giant called Matrona and she was buying into “the way of the warrior” way too much. She banged on about honourable death and only living for battle, looking to train Diane to be the most powerful warrior that she should be. I liked how Diane wasn’t afraid to call her out on what she was saying (she told her that killing someone on the off chance they could hurt you is ridiculous) and they didn’t take it too far the other way. Diane acknowledged that she would have to fight and wasn’t afraid to when needed. She just wasn’t prepared to accept that that was all there was to life.
5. Sir Gannon
Sir Gannon turned on the giants way too soon. After using his rather naff power of creating the illusion of a far off noise, he celebrated his seeming capture of Matrona and revealed his hatred for the giants. Would you not play dumb a little longer until you were definitely sure that she was neutralized? What a silly man, he deserved to be launched into the air by a giant rock.
