Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Five Things From. This time we are looking back at season 3 episode 9 of Seven Deadly Sins, A Promise to a Loved One. Which five things stood out and for what reasons? Let’s take a closer look…
- Shopkeeper Logic
Ban was on the search for a magical potion that had the power to bring someone back to life. I loved the exchange with the shopkeeper as he gave a logical reason which I have never really seen used in a show before. He said that if he ever discovered such an item, he would just sell it to a king for a ridiculous amount of money and then simply retire. Now that guy has a life plan you can respect. You believe him too because when you think about it, it makes a lot of sense!
2. Abbreviation
Some names just shouldn’t be shortened. Growing up, I hated when people shortened Dexter to Dex, it just never sounded right. Hendrickson turns out to be one of those names. Never shorten it to Hendy. It sounds almost gag-worthy and is not something that I will ever accept as ok. Hopefully it is never spoken again.
3. Emotion is Weakness
Similar to in Avatar the Last Airbender where Aang has to let his emotional attachments go to fully harness his abilities, Meliodas is told a similar thing in order to get his powers back. Why is that always the way? It is always said to the hero that you can’t have both…although they usually prove them wrong and do anyway!
4. Hotel Inspector
Someone call Alex Polizzi (if you don’t get the reference, look her up!) because this inn that Ban and Jericho stayed in was definitely not value for money! The room was infested with bugs and they were not fitting in that small single bed that the owner told them to be careful on as it was so old and rickety. Overall, it was a very shoddy establishment.
5. An Important Difference
This episode taught us something and that is there is a difference between doing something as much as possible and doing something no matter what. The latter is essentially doing the former properly.
