Episode 11 of The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse was full of surprises as the Cant arc came to a close. The town was saved, the dragons reunited, and Donny and Edlin found closure as the heroes prepared to return to Liones.
The real shocker came with a near reveal of Sin's human form and a cameo from one of the main characters of Seven Deadly Sins at the end of the episode. With more on the way, including a second cour announced shortly after the episode aired, Four Knights of the Apocalypse episode 11 sets the stage for what's to come for the protagonists.

Episode 10 saw the dragon wreaking havoc by destroying Cant's iconic lighthouse tavern, and unleashing fire and debris on the town. Initially targeting Edlin for the theft of its egg, the dragon's attention shifted to Percival and his companions as they intervened.
In the previous episode, viewers were also able to see the beginning of the fight with the Four Knights of the Apocalypse in episode 11. Percival's Hope magic saved Edlin and the rest of the party from being crushed or flash-fried by the dragon, but it was not enough to defeat the dragon. What ultimately calmed the dragon's rage was Howzer regaining his strength with the help of Sin, who sobered him up, and Nasiens managing to heal the dragon's offspring and bring it back to the big beast. After being tossed around by Howzer's wind magic and having its offspring returned to it, the dragon's rage subsided and the threat to Cant was no more.

In addition to facing the dragon threat, Four Knights of the Apocalypse episode 11 focused on Donny, Edlin, and Howzer resolving their issues with each other and their individual aspirations. Particularly, Donny begins to overcome his tendency to run away, a significant obstacle for him. Previous episodes depicted Donny retreating in challenging situations, like during the Sistana arc. This episode sheds light on why he keeps returning: his dying mother encouraged him to persevere. It also exposes Edlin's struggles with feeling inferior to Donny and Howzer's emotional distance, further complicating their dynamic.
Meliodas returns
In episode 11 of Four Knights of the Apocalypse, Howzer's effort to make amends is highlighted as he acknowledges that Edlin was not the only one at fault in the past. He takes responsibility for his own mistakes that led to their troubles. Howzer expresses his willingness to continue training Edlin if given the chance, and Edlin accepts his offer. Meanwhile, Donny plans to support Percival's group while still holding onto his dream of becoming a Holy Knight.
Four Knights of the Apocalypse is a follow-up to the Seven Deadly Sins, so it's no surprise that the original Seven Deadly Sins group is referenced several times in the series. What might shock many fans is that the original leader and protagonist, Meliodas, makes a comeback in the story.
In Four Knights of the Apocalypse episode 11, Meliodas receives a message from Sin via an arrow, prompting him to wonder about the identity of the supposed Horseman of the Apocalypse. As time has passed since the original series, Meliodas has become the king of Liones. The episode also hints at Sin's human form as Lancelot once again, increasing anticipation for the upcoming chapter and advancing the storyline. The return of familiar characters for the sequel is often a source of joy for fans, and the impact of Meliodas' return remains to be seen.
Final Thoughts
The conclusion of the Cant arc is presented in episode 11 of Four Knights of the Apocalypse. What began as a brief stop in Cant for Percival's group has escalated into kidnappings and a dragon causing chaos in the town. Percival now wields a new weapon, the key to the Coffin of Eternal Darkness, which is now attached to his sword's hilt.
With the announcement of a second cour and Melodias' cameo, it is evident that Four Knights of the Apocalypse is preparing for its next arc and an inevitable clash between the Horsemen and King Arthur. As the next arc commences on January 6, 2024, fans will eagerly await to see where Percival's group will journey to next.
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I'm thrilled with the latest episode of The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse. The Cant arc concluded with a bang, delivering exhilarating surprises and setting the stage for what's to come. The defeat of the dragon, Donny's redemption, Cant's salvation, and the long-awaited return of Meliodas were all major highlights.
The dragon's defeat was particularly satisfying, as it showcased the combined efforts of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse and their allies. Percival's Hope magic, Howzer's regained strength, and Nasiens' healing abilities all played crucial roles in calming the dragon's rage and saving the town. It was also heartwarming to see Donny overcome his tendency to run away and find the courage to face his challenges head-on. His resolution with Edlin and Howzer was a touching moment that added depth to their characters and strengthened their bond.
