About Ban's weapon, I wonder if that page in the first chapter is a hint : http://manga.redhawkscans.com/reader/read/nanatsu_no_taizai/en/0/1/page/32
He's the one holding a rapier (see the title page from chapter 24 for proof).
Seven Deadly Sins

Also of note is that black ball/sphere near Merlin. It also appears in the most recent chapter where we see her unmasked.
Seems likely that she'll be the type of fighter that has magic as her foundation, judging by how it floats around her and her pose in the new chapter giving of the impression that she can manipulate it's trajectory. -
So, King so far hasn't been able to go Full Power?
. . .King? Correct me if I'm wrong, but save for Meliodas' berserker demon form, isn't he, as of now, the strongest Sin? Maybe now that Diane has her own weapon they're about equal
Diane with her weapon completely owned Helbram who was also boosted by the holy knight council, whereas even without their help Helbram owned King with his weapon. So clearly King was underperforming as well.

I wouldn't use their covered-in-armor early chapter scenes to be confirmation of anything, but I wouldn't discard it entirely. I expect Escanor to use a spear, for example, and Merlin obviously has the orb. With Ban though we've seen him choose a whip in his recent fight and he had the three section staff in his gaiden chapter. A whip, nunchaku, or three section staff would make sense for him given he's a thief. That said, he's holding the rapier in your link and we also see it sheathed in other scenes so who knows. I'm curious about Meliodas too as he's holding a gladius/sword and yet the flashback to Danafor said he refused to use a real sword because he'd be too powerful. Granted now he has the sword from Danafor that isn't his sacred treasure, so… what is his sacred treasure?

Or, you know, the fact that her name is Merlin. lol.
-
And I seem to remember that Kings Arthurs kingdom was mentioned in one of the earliest chapter. I wonder if it will come up, considering we seem to be going in her direction.
-
Aw missed the fact there's a new chapter.
Really good, not much else to add.
-

Sure, that said the name alone even if it carries certain connotations isn't the most foolproof way to base theories on.
Just wanted to throw in something more concrete. -
I was just giving you a hard time, but yeah, fair enough.

This manga is so good. Definitely one of the shonen highlights of my week. We are are only six volumes out of planned forty volumes in, and Elizabeth has already gathered 5 out of 7 Sins. And betrayer has already been hinted at. Although I feel like Merlin won't be the one despite what Gowther has seen. But feelings won't get me far, will they.

If by Arthur's kingdom, you mean Britannia, that the name of the kingdom the Seven Deadly Sins story takes place; if you mean Camelot, it hasn't been namedropped yet. But the manga is full of references to Arthurian myth and Celtic lore. Either Nakaba is a fan of it, or he has done an impressive research before doing the story, because pretty much every main and many secondary character's names and most location names reference the medieval legend.
My bet is that Gowther is a golem or some kind of magically created thing.
After all Machine Banchou was one of the best things in Nakaba's previous work.

Seems like a safe bet because Gowther gives me some wicked Machine Banchou vibes too. Can't say I have anything against that.

That I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me. Afterall, I'm pretty sure none of the sins is human.

To think such evidence would come up after posting this silly theory lol
Merlin is the Boar's sin of gluttony. Hawk is a pig, a talking one at that, who likes to dress as a knigh. There's also a species of falcon named Merlin, which is nicknamed "Lady Hawks". Hawk was the first "person" Meliodas met after awakening 10 years ago.

No, she is her familiar. You know, D&D style.

chapter 60 summary, credits from ferdinbeer
! Dreyfus comes out of his room and Hauser updates him on what's been going on, and Dreyfus decides he needs to have a long conversation with Hendricksen. Gilthunder goes to the dungeon where Princess Margaret is being held and tells her about Veronica. Gilthunder tells Margaret that the Seven Deadly Sins have killed her sister but she does not believe any of it and calls him a traitor. Meanwhile, Jericho and Geera discuss what Jericho saw as she was tailing Dawn Roar, and hands Geera a necklace that belonged to the holy knight monster, which Geera looks at in shock. Meanwhile, Hendricksen and Helbram is attempting to open a gate to let demon clan back into the world. Hendricksen reveals that the armor giant was an "old generation," a holy knight-based (as opposed to new generation, which are apprentice-based) demon hybrid that was deemed too uncontrollable to be of use. The gate opening is incomplete, and Helbram says they need more piece or pieces (Japanese does not make distinction between singular or plural). Hendricksen sends "something" to get whatever they are missing. Meanwhile, Meliodas reveals to the group that they are going to get his dragon sword back. However, the rest of the sins say they don't want to help, citing laziness and captain's responsibility.

Hawk gets treated quite poorly at times, so that would be really awkward if it was Merlin. But I wouldn't dismiss some kind of relation with the Boar knight.
@No:

Well, their works share the same theme while running in the same magazine, so it's as natural a promotion as they get. Also, if Suzuki and Mashima hated each other, this probably wouldn't be a thing. So, grit your teeth and try to ignore it.

http://manga.redhawkscans.com/reader/read/nanatsu_no_taizai/en/0/3/page/5Oh, my bad it is. Now I have to wonder if such a big name will remain only a secondary note without any importance.

I just don't like to see a man who'se given us two great series with excellent world building and actual character depth be put on the same level as the man who drew Chapter 365 of Fairy Tail…..shudders.

You are thinking the wrong way about it. It's Mashima who gets an honour to work together with Suzuki here.

I was joking before, but maybe Hawk is familiar of Merlin? Considering that he was with Meliodias for a very long time, and since Merlin evidently had something to do with his memory loss, maybe she send him to watch over Meliodias?

Chapter 60
http://manga.redhawkscans.com/reader/read/nanatsu_no_taizai/en/0/60/
Most of the part is Holy Knights and some answers answered.
Lol, no respect for the captain. -
Oh Meliodas, you goddamn lucky bastard.
-
That was pretty good. Nothing much to say.
-
Great chapter imo, except the ending, was not really necessary but well…
-
I am really starting to like the villains, cause I always thought that they were a bunch of devil worshipers, but now we know that they want to bring back the demon clan just to have a Knight "job" to do. I know it sounds a bit stupid, but for me its a element of a well written character.
-
And having a discernible motivation within 2/3 of a year of his first appearance is its own reward. (see Bleach's Yhwach for not an example of this)
-
Don't feel it's all too stupid seems very similar in concept to the plot of weapon sellers instigating war to sell their products which isn't a too uncommon thing.
I like that Geera and Jericho seem to start having doubts. I can't stand Gilthunder that self righteous twat.
I hope there's going to be a big portion of crow for him to eat when he's confronted with the fact that he's been in the wrong. -

It will be interesting to see whether the awakening of the Demon Clan will backfire on Hendricksen, that would be the most common result i guess.

Griamor could send a letter or something. Hauser and his dad think he's dead, and I had to re-read the end of Byzel cause I was all like "the fuck, he died? when? how?. . .oh, no, he didn't". Too bad there's no Whatsapp in there.
Which brings me to the point: will they revive Veronica? Nakaba doesn't seem specially fond of killing off characters, and Veronica barely had any screen time before getting killed, so. . .maybe it'll happen? Or she's beyond the reach of the Dragon Balls?
Nice chapter, btw. Not sure how happy I'm about the "Strong holy knights getting demon energy = berserker atrocity demon thingie. Weak holy knight getting demon energy = super powerful easy to control warrior", but since I'm sure the stronger Holy Knights will successfuly get demon power themselves without it backfiring (if they haven't already, specially Hendricksen, and I hope Hellbram too), I'll probably be fine with that.

I think the point is he can't? I mean he kind of went to go into hiding. Given what he knows I don't think Hendricksens group would be very happy about knowing him being alive and trying to get in contact with his father.
I'm sure he's going to try in time anyway but it doesn't seem like enough time has passed between the festival and the current events. -
Pretty sure Gowther is a Golem or something of the sorts. He's like a robot, but magical.
Can't be an elf as he lacks the elf ears.
My bet is that Gowther is a golem or some kind of magically created thing.

Robot is likely, considering his square speech bubbles.

I just got those vibes after saying how everyone in the group is different and asking Hawk why he knows human speech. His response just being "dunno" lol
Maybe the author is just toying with my heart though
-
! Dreyfus was the culprit all along
OH NOES! -
Chapter out : http://www.mangapanda.com/nanatsu-no-taizai/61
! At first I thought the masked woman was Merlin, but than we she teleported, it seems it is a new generation Holy knight. (Or original).
I have a feeling this arc is going to provide a ton of fighting and action, am definitely looking forward to it.
-
For a moment I was certain it was Merlin, but that claw staff/broom confused me.
-
Pretty good chapter, but I'm gonna bet that Dreyfus and co. weren't the ones behind Elizabeth's kidnapping.

That´s a pretty good guess since that is what the manga has been about to 90%.

Hawk is going to release his "seal" the moment Liz gets kidnapped and the Sins head to the kingdom?
Nakaba, you're rubbing it on our faces, aren't you,

Now King and Diane can have a time alone.:ninja:
-

I think it most likely is Merlin. It's a high level female magician and Nakaba obviously wanted the audience to question who it was with the "was it a Holy Knight?" bit.
As for the story, given new info from this chapter I'm a little confused on a few things: first, if Dreyfus is the one who killed Zaratras and effectively framed the Seven Sins, then Dreyfus should know the Seven Sins aren't guilty of any real crimes, so why would Dreyfus believe that the Seven Sins are the "evil" that his "good" is to fight? That seems like a poor conclusion to make for a Holy Knight. Second, now that we know Dreyfus is the one who had Zaratras kills, it begs the question of who Merlin was aligned with; on the one hand, this chapter suggests Hendrickson, assuming that magician was in fact Merlin. It would make sense, given Hendrickson was aware of the plot to kill Zaratras, but if it is the case then why didn't Merlin take Meliodas' sword way back then? Maybe she or Hendrickson just didn't know yet. I'll still reserve the distant possibility that this chapters magician and the recent info about Merlin are red herrings, and then there's the least likely possibility that Merlin is aligned with Dreyfus for some completely unknown reason (the guy has no real ambition outside of becoming a great holy knight).
That's about it for now.

That seems like a poor conclusion to make for a Holy Knight.
Keep in mind that the Seven Sins were originally criminals (even if some of them were framed for those too). It wouldn't be hard to believe that some people would oppose the idea of having 7 criminals fight for the kingdom.
Meliodas, especially. The destruction of Danafor was pointed out by Dreyfus himself as the reason they were such a big threat. I guess Dreyfus thought that something similar happening to his own kingdom was a real possibility, so he had to do something (murder his brother and frame the sins) before it happened.
-
It seems that Dreyfus' original plan was to frame the Sins, turning them into some buggy men. That would justify him taking over the kingdom instead of letting one of the princesses heir the throne.
Hendricksen took that idea to the extreme and Merlin is playing along, for power and the knowledge of the demon clan maybe? Never trust a wizard.

Ahhh that's true, I had Dreyfus and Hendrickson mixed up on that. I was discounting their "criminal past" as something someone like Dreyfus, who should be well informed, would know better than to hold against them. I suppose it's common enough though that a character like Dreyfus would disagree with his brother's "misplaced trust" in a group of criminal knights, and yeah the destruction of Danafor would definitely justify his thought process.

Each part of the seal should represents one clan, maybe so:

I think you have fairy and goddess backwards. A long slender woman looking somewhat elegant vs. a boy(?) with a silly hat playing a flute and maybe has some wings.
