Five Things From: Seven Deadly Sins 3×3, The Sacred Treasure Lostvayne

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Five Things From. This time we are looking back at season 3 episode 3 of the Seven Deadly Sins anime, The Sacred Treasure Lostvayne. Which five things stood out and for what reasons? Let’s take a closer look…

1. Numbers Game

A scene early in the episode saw the new villain team having a conversation and all I could think was “why are there so many of them?” There doesn’t need to be that many! An overcrowded cast was what hurt the show’s first season because you can’t develop everyone as well as you would want. Even if they were to trim it down to seven from ten so that they were a sort of evil mirror version of the Sins would at least be a little better! It just makes it harder to get invested!

2. Albion

The group ended up getting teleported to Camelot to battle an enormous, stone golem. They referred to it as an Albion and I wonder where the name came from. Was it chosen as a reference to them being in Camelot and “Albion” is what those who lived in Camelot called England during that time period? Or was it just a coincidence and this is something that Golems are often referred to? I can’t say that I’m overly familiar with their mythology.😅

3. Cannons

The Albion itself was a very formidable adversary that put up a very good fight against Meliodas. It even created a set of cannons out of its own body at one point! Quite often, the Sins are so powerful and as a result some of their battles with foes can be quite anticlimactic. This one managed to remain engaging and entertaining while letting Meliodas show off the almighty power of his newest weapon.

4. Diane VS Gowther

They teased us with a glimpse of Gowther and Diane battling it out before Gowther saw the error of his ways before restoring the memories of those he took with Guila being surprisingly okay about the whole thing. It felt like they were either teasing the potential of a villainous arc or they were  showing how dangerous the powers that Gowther possesses could be if they ended up in the wrong hands.

5. Dolls

We also got a very peculiar bit of origin story about Gowther. It turns out that he was actually a doll which was then bought to life in some way…ok. I guess that explains why he is even less aware of human feelings and emotions than the other Sins are. Still felt pretty random and out-there though. Surely we now have to meet his creator at some point then???
