When Griamore grabs Fraudrin and erects a seal so only they die, the demon realizes what motivated Meliodas's betrayal in the past and ceases his attack while allowing Meliodas to kill him, which he heartlessly does.

Funerals are later held for the dead, with Bartra insisting that all past grudges must be cast aside for their survival. A despondent Meliodas is later found at the ruins of the Boar Hat by Elizabeth, who comforts him over how horrified he is from enjoying murdering Fraudrin. He also tearfully admits he is afraid of becoming his old self even though it means keeping Elizabeth safe from the Commandments. Merlin restores the destroyed city, and also reveals that all the humans enslaved by Zeldris’ commandment have departed for Camelot. Ban reveals that Elaine is still alive. Merlin reasons that Zeldris and Melascula must both still be alive along with Drole, Gloxinia and Estarossa. As Jericho mourns her brother, she inherits Gustav's ice magic, while Gowther, at Meliodas's request, is released on probation. Meliodas decides all of the Seven Deadly Sins must go to war together while Elizabeth promises to always stay by his side.
