#zeldris the commandment of piety

[sullina]

All the TC 3xcept for, of course, Zeldris. Since he is a god in and of himself. Wonder how that affects their dynamic w/ Meliodas...

Zeldris definitely still looks up to Meliodas since, being the god of war, he's pretty important in the middle of one.

What would Zeldris be the god of exactly though? His commandment in canon is piety, a kind of naive loyalty, which could fit, since he is very loyal to the demon clan. Less his father, but he did want to become the demon king in order to live with Gelda and he also expressed a desire for the demon clan to flourish in the cursed by light movie.

Meliodas: Without ugly in this world, there would be nothing beautiful.

Zeldris: Thank you for your sacrifice.

The angry demon prince is finally complete

[gacha-ayaka]

Yep ! Zeldris of the Piety ! 😉

[ambersky0319]

I'm conflicted now-

Either I can have an original character in Eternally Chained to be the Commandment of Piety

Or

Estarossa can have the commandment of piety, instead of the commandment of love

I suppose I can have no one take the commandment of piety, but that honestly feels kinda boring 😅 also it seems like the most useful commandment besides the commandments of truth and pacifism and I highly doubt the Demon King would just leave that spot unfilled

[incorrectsdsins]

Meliodas: Okay. I've come up with a few rules and I'd appreciate if you tried not to break them too often.

Meliodas: Listen to my orders.

Meliodas: Don't attack anyone on your own without my permission.

Meliodas: Don't skip our meetings.

Meliodas: Don't bully the others.

Zeldris: *raises hand*

Meliodas: *sigh* what is it, Zeldris?

Zeldris: Is it considered as "bullying" to tell someone they are annoying and should go kill themselves?

Meliodas: ...yes.

Zeldris: Fuck.

𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝑷𝒊𝒆𝒕𝒚 - 🇿🇪🇱🇩🇷🇮🇸™  for @geldris

[demonprincezeldris]

TW for emotional ab*se!

Meliodas and Zeldris are being emotionally abused by the DK. CANONICALY! The signs are there:

Monitoring where you are (The commandment of Piety reported the whereabouts of Zeldris to the Demon King directly, even when he tried meeting up with Gelda in private)

Putting down interests (The DK probably didn't care about the fact that Zeldris liked Dragon hunting as a hobby, or that both men wanted a relationship with a woman. He thought of it as 'weakness')

Yelling (In the scene where the DK ordered Zeldris to execute the Vampires, he screamed at Zeldris to be quiet 'or something to that affect' which most likely shook the castle or room that they were in)

Shaming (I know it was only an illusion by Gowther, but the Demon King DID call Estarossa worthless before he recieved Meliodas' commandment. Who's to say he never said this to Zeldris or Meliodas?)

Here’s the full interview from Newtypes august edition magazine about Cursed by light. It’s long but there’s a lot of info in it but the interview is very nice and worth the read!

(Thanks to FKS for the translation)

On a fateful day of summer 2019, Ikeda, a producer and the editor had a discussion. The three had an idea for the movie and sent it to Nakaba who then submitted them a storyboard. They worked out the script from there. The fun thing is, Dahlia and Dubs weren't in the idea; the trio only wanted to talk about Mel and Zel brothers. As for the enemy, it was some kind of fantastic one in their minds. Meaning they weren't thinking of the SD. In fact, they had no idea what was becoming of her in the original work. That was why they were shocked to see her appear in the rough drafts.

they also added Hawk and Wild bit in the movie in addition to making a few changes to adapt the story into animation.

.

As for his favorite character, Ikeda says Gerheade, but she's a sub-character... He also likes every main character but if he had to pick one, it'd be Elizabeth. In the season 3, the one he started participating in making, Elizabeth grew. She used to be protected by Mel until that point but she starts fighting to protect him. Ikeda liked that change in their relationship.

Regarding the memorable episode, he says it's Mael's reveal one. He had trouble but also enjoyed making it. After all, other stories were developing concurrently to this one, so he did some rearrangements and got hung up on it.

The last question is about the charm of the Sins. Ikeda says if he had to say it, it would lie in their characters. They have their own elements of surprise and pasts, and really stand out. He uses Escanor as an example, he says the Sin, with a strong individuality, grew to become a comrade in turns and the bar is raised no matter what with the last comrade.

Yuki kaji’s interview

To him, the point of interest is the brothers who had been apart for a long time. He also adds that since they have their own partners, those relationships are also worth seeing. He mentions the scene, present at the start, where Zeldris is such a cute spoiled brat. It was something fresh for the VA to voice such a character, and he thinks Mel must be happy seeing it. It was a very heart-warming moment for the VA.

- Rather than Zeldris having changed with the TV anime ending, he thinks the Commandment of Piety is free of duty and is back to his former self. Him being toyed with by Gelda is a hnnnnng moment for Kaji.

- Kaji didn't change anything between the series and the movie because the movie's timing overlapped with that of the series's final stage and the characters themselves haven't particularly changed. That said, Mel and Zel have been present in the movie from start to finish so it was less simple for the VA.

- Kaji did simultaneous recordings of two casts wherever he could in the series. But for the movie, he voiced them over two days, one for Zeldris then another for Meliodas. He also did the recordings the day before this whole thing for the series, so that made it three days.

- He voiced Zel with Gelda's VA on the first day then Mel with Eli's VA on the second. He also voiced Mel while listening to Zel he did the day before. It was a wonderful sensation for him. He also says there was some kind of limiter in his brain, perhaps instinctual and it was confusing. Despite that difficulty, as the two characters' joint fight is also a big point of interest, he put his feelings behind to concentrate on the postrecording.

SDS ended with the SD, Dahlia and Dubs shrouded in a veil of mystery but Kaji expected no less of Nakaba who took these mysteries, which all the fans noticed, to the movie. He thinks this is the drama that nicely complements the series, so well that he almost spontaneously suspected "since when did Nakaba think of making the denouement in this form?"

- The ending of a TV series would tend to have many serious spots no matter what, but for SDS, scenes that make you giggle and pleasant and thrilling portrayals are one of its charmpoints. A lot of preparation was done to pruduce these elements, and Kaji wondered if they would get people to feel like this is SDS-like.

- When Asked about whether the final episode of the series was moving, Kaji says he didn't feel a lot since he had to act during the recording. There was an exchange in the studio going like "This is the final episode but it doesn't feel like that." That might have been because the VAs didn't record concurrently due to the coronavirus. When the last line was recorded and he heard the postrecording was finished, he took on the reality that the cast of SDS that Nakaba drew was over. He was overflowing with sadness.

- Kaji is asked to send a message to the fans who share his feelings of sadness. The TV series could reach its end without a hitch and even the second movie could materialize, and the VA is really full of gratitude for all that. The work that is SDS is over but he believes the characters will always live in our hearts. He wants people to look back upon the work many times, so being able to transmit such a beautiful story together is a bliss.

- If he were to tell something to Meliodas, Kanji would tell him to flirt with Eli as much as he likes. After all, Mel fought to be together with her. Now that the painful and harsh battle is finished, he wants Mel to thoroughly spend happy times with Eli.

Estarossa: Would you guys be there for me if I was going through something?

Meliodas: Nope. Absolutely not.

Zeldris: I hope it sucks, whatever you’re going through.

Meliodas: I hope it emotionally scars you for the rest of your life.

Zeldris: I hope you reach out to me so that I can ignore you.

Meliodas: I can’t wait to go to your funeral knowing I could’ve changed the outcome.

Estarossa: ...

Estarossa: Fuck you both.
