Nanatsu Taizai -- ep 7

/images/07625.jpg

Diane just keeps getting better and better. What they translated as "Big eye-candy" was dai kantan musume, I think. More or less "big wonderful girl" or "big amazing girl".

Only I'm not sure about that. kantan seems to be a noun, not an adjective. So "Big wonder of a girl"?  (Big eye-candy was probably good enough for a sub. Because she is.)

Anyway, in this episode we do find King, only he's a boy, not a fat old man like he used to be.

And he himself wonders why Meliodas hasn't changed. There's something strange going on with that.

According to Wikipedia, Diane is 700 years old. Evidently giants don't age like we do. As to Ban, he drank from the Fountain of Youth, which made him immortal. That's why he can be run through and have the wound disappear after the weapon is withdrawn. But what's going on with King and Meliodas?

UPDATE: I need to get my mind out of the gutter.

1 "in absolute terms"   

I think you're right. The only bigger ones I can think of don't count because they aren't flesh-and-blood: Junerin's (though proportionally pettanko) and Neo Okusaer's.

2 There are also a couple of female-form mechs in Godannar. Not the same. (Steel doesn't count.)

3 He said "dai kanban musume"; hard to catch the first time, though.

4 I'm not up to date on the series, but did they say "kantan" or "kamban"?  A "kamban musume" would make more sense.  Especially given the translation around it.

5 As for the Breasts question, I would assume so, but there's always the possibility of something extremely obscure.  I don't recall there being any 100 foot Women around in anime.

6 Natsumi / Mii in Jungle de Ikou, bigger in proportion, and she looks to be about twice the size of Diane when in giant form.

7 OK, kanban musume ("poster girl") would make a lot more sense.

That's pretty good! (Diane hasn't used a hammer like that in the anime, yet, but I'm guessing it's something from the light novels.)
