Chapter 160 of "Nanatsu No Taizai" or "The Seven Deadly Sins" is already online on Manga Fox. The latest chapter continues the maze challenge of our heroes.
Before any speculations and predictions on the upcoming events, here's the recap of the latest chapter.
Melodias is with Arthur Pendragon and they are looking for ways to reach the goal through the maze. On the other hand, Elizabeth is also in a different party with Hawk and Diane with the same objective.
Because of their connection, Elizabeth and Melodias sensed each other even though they are separated by a very big stone wall. While looking for ways to get to the other side, Melodias was reunited with Ban who is also getting some challenging results on how to get to the goal.
Melodias and Ban came to an agreement that the only way to get through the wall is to bust it wide open so fast and so strong that it will not have enough time to regenerate. With their powers combined, they were able to bust through the wall and they were reunited with Elizabeth's group. They then realized that they overdid their power that they have opened enough walls leading to their goal.
Finally, the tournament begins! The gang is basically back together as they arrive for the highly anticipated tournament. But Escanor is missing from the group and he could be featured in the next chapters of the manga.
At Reddit, user Tksquad speculates, "Escanor will suddenly appear in the tournament by breaking some walls." Manga Helpers user Demonspeed also revealed that the next release would be a double chapter feature!
With this big release, it should be expected that the tournament will be set-up and the fight should commence with a big battle. Meanwhile, Escanor would have to find his way to the tournament one way or the other.
