Okaaaay, I STILL do not understand the power system/power creep in this series, and I have officially given up trying to understand it. I think my brain will thank me later for doing so.
That aside, I haven't talked about the fight scenes that much and I want to because they are well-choreographed and easy to interpret. That may sound weird, but as a long-time shounen action fan I can safely say that while fight scenes can look cool, that doesn't mean they are easy to follow. There have been times where I have reread certain pages because I could not follow the line of action through a fight scene, which obviously hinders the enjoyment of reading one. However, Seven Deadly Sins not only has pretty awesome fight scenes, they're easy to follow and understand who is doing what. I appreciate that a lot, considering 90% of the series is fight scenes! Speaking of, this volume had a lot of great fight scenes, particularly between Meliodas and Sir Helbram. Diane got to shine with her sacred treasure and it was GLORIOUS. While I can't stand the Holy Knights, it was interesting to see them take out the Sins and makes me pumped for the Sins' inevitable comeback.
And now, on to volume 8...
