Seven Mortal Sins (Episode 9) – Ye Abandon All Hope
What happened?
Belial met with an angel to discuss a plan before returning to the throne room to discipline Satan for failing to defeat Lucifer. She gives her another order to guard the Gates of Hell and if the gates decide it, she will join the gate as one of the tormented souls. Lucifer is ready for this occasion though as she has amassed millions of followers. She comments about how everyone is guilty of pride and that is why Heaven fears her.
The Gates of Hell allow her to pass. All she has to do is get across the River Styx, but the boatman, Charon is nowhere to be seen. They try to walk the bridge but end up falling into the water. Luckily, they end up on Charon’s deck, however, he needs payment for the crossing and knows just how he’d like it! After defeating Charon, they meet the other Sins who have all abandoned Belial except for Astaroth and she’s ready to fight. Leviathan occupies her so that Lucifer can go on.

What did you think?
This episode is exactly what I was expecting when I started this series. I thought it would be more like Dante’s Inferno with fan service. I would have even accepted a bit of Devil’s Advocate or The Firm style stuff on Earth, but we got a fairly light version of that. This episode had tortured souls and twisted landscapes. Belial torturing Maria and punishing Satan also fit with my expectations. It’s all been a bit chummy so far so it was nice to see things get serious.
Of course, we also finally found out what the real story is. Tired of the way that humans feed Hell and not Heaven, God is planning on destroying all realms but for Heaven. Lucifer stood up to God and was cast out as a result. Now, she plans to not only stop the end of the world but flip it so that Hell is on top. This sounds like it should be fairly epic from here on. Exciting times!
