Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse

Episode 3 - many revelations

In the previous episode, Percival inadvertently unlocked his magical potential while on the brink of defeat against Pellegarde. In episode 3 of Four Knights of the Apocalypse, Percival finally gets the chance to utilize his newfound magic against Pellegarde. His abilities encompass the capacity to heal his own injuries, strengthen his attacks, ward off direct assaults, and summon miniature duplicates of himself as decoys.

Pellegarde pondered over Percival's magical abilities, speculating that it could belong to a rare and ancient category called Hero Magic. On the other hand, Pellegarde possessed a straightforward magic called Pyre, an eternal flame akin to Naruto's Amaterasu. During their clash, Pyre initially emerged as the victor, but Percival managed to heal himself and persist in the battle.

Nevertheless, Percival faced difficulty as Pellegarde was a skilled mage. Thankfully, Donny intervened and levitated Pellegarde, while a pink and white fox teleported both Percival and Donny away from the vicinity after Pellegarde retaliated. Their fortune favored them since Pellegarde's counterattack had the potential to engulf Paysan village in flames.

The unlikely heroes teleport to the distant location of massive dragon remains, which is 30 miles away from Paysan. Startled by the fox's ability to speak, both Percival and Donny react with surprise. The fox, who goes by the name Sin (secretly Lancelot in disguise), introduces himself and provides them with a briefing on the current situation.

In episode 3 of "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," a flashback reveals the events that took place in Camelot. The battle between the Holy Knights and demons led to the complete destruction of Camelot, 16 years ago. While modern times view Camelot as a myth, Sin affirms its existence as a tangible place. It is believed by the Holy Knights that Percival is one of the legendary "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," destined to bring about the world's destruction.

Percival is appalled by this revelation, refusing to believe Sin until he reveals that Camelot is inaccessible through conventional methods and suggests that they must travel to the Kingdom of Liones to find the answers they seek. Reluctantly, Donny decides to join them, feeling that he has no other options, while Katz and Elba are left to fend for themselves and will likely manage fine on their own.

The latest episode of Four Knights of the Apocalypse sheds light on Sin's belief, presenting a deeper understanding through explanations. Moreover, it unveils Camelot itself and reveals that the Holy Knights' base exists in an entirely different dimension. Despite Pellegarde's tardiness, the crucial meeting progresses, with a mysterious cloaked figure providing important information about the likely identities of the Four Horsemen.

They are tasked with locating the future Four Horsemen based on vague descriptions, aiming to eliminate them before they can cause destructive chaos. In another location, Pellegarde and Ironside engage in a heated discussion, leading to a physical altercation, regarding Percival's existence and their differing opinions on how he can be of value to them.

Mentioning that Ironside is Percival's father deeply affects him, but the red knight remains determined to eliminate his own son, believing that he poses a threat to the world. While Pellegarde's arguments about recruiting Percival give Ironside pause, he remains adamant that his son should have been killed.

The journey to Liones in Four Knights of the Apocalypse episode 3 begins, with Percival suggesting a hunting contest to find food. Percival effortlessly runs to Echo Gorge, a massive gorge corrupted by darkness, while Donny and Sin resort to traditional hunting. Donny believes they should keep their bow and arrow because Percival's archery skills are not the strongest.

Unfortunately, Donny's aim is no better, as he misses a rabbit and a deer but accidentally hits a giant nun who is praying at a statue of a goddess. The nun, named Dolores, is then approached by two faeries named Bob and Nob. They urgently inform her that they witnessed Percival entering Echo Gorge alone. In the past, this gorge was a flourishing landscape inhabited by giants and fae folk, but it has now been tainted with poison.

The Mad Herbalist Nasiens is solely responsible for the desolation of the gorge, which is now inhabited by deadly trees and bloodthirsty bunnies. In his reckless pursuit of experimentation, Nasiens even subjected a fairy to his questionable tests. The third episode of Four Knights of the Apocalypse concludes with Percival being rendered unconscious by Nasiens, who declares that Percival will be his next subject for experimentation, as a result of Percival's intervention in freeing the captive fairy.

Final Thoughts

In the opening scene of Four Knights of the Apocalypse episode 3, viewers are introduced to the Naisens. This image, via Our Website, showcases their appearance.

Among anime enthusiasts, there is a common belief known as the "three-episode rule". It suggests that watching the first three episodes of a long-running anime is sufficient to determine whether or not one should commit to it. In the case of Four Knights of the Apocalypse episode 3, this theory seems to hold true. This episode serves as the official beginning of the characters' journey, and it presents a wealth of intrigue for the audience to enjoy.

Many unanswered questions await old fans of Seven Deadly Sins. For instance, what caused King Arthur's transformation from ally to evil in the original series? Another puzzling aspect is Sin/Lancelot appearing in the form of a fox. Episode 3 of Four Knights of the Apocalypse provides some exposition, albeit briefly, while also presenting the perspective of the Holy Knights. Ironside's indifference towards Percival shows that he is far from being a candidate for parent of the year. Additionally, the opening scene hints at Nasiens joining Percival's group, raising anticipation for future episodes. With numerous engaging elements, Four Knights of the Apocalypse episode 3 successfully captures the attention of viewers.

Fans will need to tune in on October 29, 2023, to see how Percival escapes his precarious situation, and if any other Holy Knights or future party members encounter Percival's squad.
