To me, the first one could be the most intriguing panel we have seen in NnT up to now. Together with the following page, quoted above, talks about a prophecy. The panels belong to a chapter entitled: Ballad of the beginning . And the beginning of that legend is precisely certain prophecy the father of Cenette tells us about. Those are his worlds:
I take the bold words, as the main body of the prophecy. Now, as a beginning, it seems the prophecy sets up the main framework to the story, and the events we have seen up to now have their meaning as parts of a story that will drive us to a holy war between light and darkness. So, in general, how are those events we have seen related to that war foretold by the prophecy?These youngsters are criminals…? What an absurd lie. Just what are the holy knights scheming? And on top of that, the miraculous healing of my body… and the miraculous protection of that young man, Meliodas… A mysterious power that can’t be seen by the naked eye… Jo, I feel the presence of an immeasurably great will. It is an omen of the beginning of a trial of ancient origins, When the skies are filled with crossing shooting stars, Britannia will be visited by an immense menace. It’s an omen of the beginning of a trial of ancient origins, a holy war between the guiding hand of light and the bloodline of darkness.
In particular: What is the connection between the murder of Saratras and the foretold holy war? And what the connection between the accusation and dismantling of the sins and that war? Also, what about the cup d’état? Hendricksen and Helbram have created too the second holy knights, tried to capture Meliodas; and they are trying to revive the demon clan. So what’s the connection between those actions and that war?
And last but not least, the panels above show us certain someone in top of a mountain. Someone we still don’t know about, I guess. That mysterious character is showed at the same time we are told about the prophecy. Just who is that mysterious character?
Those could be the questions of the big puzzle of a fascinating story in development. Post your ideas about one or all of these interesting questions.
