Why Lord Escanor's Iconic Line Is Trending Again Across Social Media
By Alexander Ross
Q1: What episode and chapter does the line actually happen in?
A1: The scene occurs in Manga Chapter 186 of *The Seven Deadly Sins* (*Nanatsu no Taizai*). In the anime adaptation, it takes place in Season 2, Episode 19 (titled "The Lion's Sin of Pride"), which is listed as Season 3, Episode 19 on Netflix's regional streaming catalog.
Q2: Who voiced the famous line in Japanese and English?
A2: The Japanese line was performed by veteran voice actor Tomokazu Sugita (also known for voicing Gintoki in *Gintama* and Joseph Joestar in *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*). The English dub was voiced by Kyle Hebert (widely recognized as the adult voice of Gohan in *Dragon Ball Z* and Kamina in *Gurren Lagann*).
Q3: What happened right after Escanor said "Who decided that?"
A3: After uttering the line, Escanor instantly dispelled Estarossa's darkness with raw heat, grew even larger as noon approached, and unleashed a massive Cruel Sun blast that blasted Estarossa, and his brother Zeldris who attempted to intervene, across the kingdom and into the horizon.
Q4: Why did Estarossa's Commandment of Love have no effect on Escanor?
A4: Estarossa's Commandment paralyzes anyone who feels hatred in their heart toward him. Escanor was completely immune because he did not hate Estarossa; he viewed the demon as an inferior being deserving only of his pity, meaning zero malice existed to activate the curse.
