A giant arc rises from the forest, with demons trapped inside. The demons exists that in-between life and death. Ludociel destroys all the demons. Ludociel and demons prepare for war.

My familiarity with the Seven Deadly Sins is limited, but I do know that in the current timeline demon are the villains. It’s interesting that 3,000 years ago apparently it was the opposite. Of course in general demons are considered to be evil and angels are good. The Seven Deadly Sins inverts this. It has happened before in other shows, but will have possible consequences (in this series) when they return to the present. As a shonen series, this season hasn’t meet my expectations. I know fights are coming but I’ve been underwhelmed so far. Regardless, I can’t wait for the war to begin.
