'The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods' episode 6 spoilers: Why Rou has betrayed Stigma

In the middle of the killings between the humans and other warriors of Stigma, Gerheade asks everyone to stop. She will then be attacked by one of Rou’s companions, who will mutilate her wings and legs. However, Rou’s reaction was to kill the human and save Gerheade. Rou then carries Gerheade’s bloody body exactly when King arrives. This is going to enrage King so much that he launches a fatal Basquias blow towards Rou in “The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods” episode 6.

However, Gerheade and Rou will share a heart-warming moment before the latter faces King’s wrath in “The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods” episode 6. Gerheade reveals that she does not think Rou is evil, but she sees immense anger and sadness buried in his heart. This is when Rou finally explains why they have betrayed Stigma at such a crucial time.

“The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods” episode 6 will likely include flashback scenes to when Rou was younger. He had a childhood friend whom he promised to live when they grew up. But his friend was killed when the Stigma raided their village after they took care of a lone, injured demon who Rou recalls as being a “good person.”

Rou and three others were not killed because they were away at the mountain for training. Rou reveals that since then, they have been training to get stronger and planning their revenge on Stigma.

Gerheade sees Rou imagining taking care of the fairy in “The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods” episode 6.

In the manga, and most likely in “The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods” episode 6, these visions will give Gerheade a “great warmth in the heart” that she cannot explain.
