In episode 21 of “The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse,” the focus remained on the development of the titular Four Knights following their initial meeting in the previous episode.
Despite their differences and initial failure to capture Pellegarde, the fight against the reborn Commandments proved more successful than expected, thanks to their efforts to coordinate their actions.
Gawain, while still somewhat self-centered, showed improvement in keeping her ego in check compared to previous encounters. Although she took a leading role in the fighting, her behavior was less disruptive, though it still irked Percival at times.
The dynamics within the group, particularly between Gawain and Percival, continued to be a point of tension. However, despite their struggles with teamwork and interpersonal relationships, there were signs of progress.
It became evident that the Four Knights were gradually moving towards a better understanding of each other and working together effectively to end King Arthur’s reign of terror.

Arthur Manipulates And Monitors Powerful Demons
In Four Knights of the Apocalypse episode 21, the narrative begins with a recap of the original conflict between the Seven Deadly Sins and the Ten Commandments, shedding light on King Arthur’s motives for resurrecting the Commandments and granting them power.
It becomes clear that Arthur’s intentions are purely self-serving. He views the Commandments as powerful demons who can be manipulated into sacrificing themselves to atone for their past villainy.

To ensure their compliance, Arthur has subjected them to brainwashing, erasing their memories, and punishing any disobedience with severe consequences. This manipulation leads to the downfall of Melascula.
Arthur’s disregard for the well-being of the Commandments is evident in his indifference toward their fate as long as his own goals are achieved.
He is primarily focused on the destruction of the Liones, the defeat of the Seven Deadly Sins, and the elimination of any threats posed by the Four Knights. Despite his lack of interest in the Four Knights’ activities, Arthur decides to closely monitor their progress in battle.
This shift in Arthur’s attention, from his pursuit of a wife to his observation of the Four Knights’ capabilities, marks a significant development in the storyline.

As the chaos unfolds, the citizens of Liones and its defenders, including Meliodas, are left scrambling to respond to the sudden onslaught. Meliodas briefly entertains the idea of confronting the Commandments directly, reflecting on the immense power they wield.
However, Meliodas and his advisor quickly realize that the attack is not targeting the castle or the Seven Deadly Sins directly. Instead, it appears to be a diversion aimed at accessing Bartra’s visions.
Recognizing the true objective behind the assault, Meliodas swiftly takes action to intercept the second threat, leaving the task of confronting the reborn Commandments to the Four Knights.
