Four Knights of the Apocalypse Chapter 225 Recap
Chapter 225 starts with Meliodas dropping the last bit of doubt and directly acknowledging the truth: this is Cath, not the Arthur everyone believed in. Instead of hesitating, Meliodas looks genuinely relieved, and that relief turns scary fast when he decides there is no reason to hold back anymore.
Meliodas lands a brutal hit that makes it clear the fight is now an execution-level beatdown, then follows up with a named technique barrage that pushes Cath into a corner. Cath responds by flipping the table and transforming into a massive monster form, which triggers panic across Liones as people realize the “King Arthur” they trusted is a fake.
From there, Cath escalates the situation beyond a one-on-one by summoning a huge wave of monsters that swarms the city. Nasiens tries to fight back with Chastiefol support, but it is not enough, and Diane has to jump in with Ground Gladius to protect him. King joins the defense too, but the moment gets complicated when civilians start getting grabbed, forcing the heroes to choose between big attacks and saving hostages.
Ban then enters with Sacred Treasure Courechouse and a super-focused counterplay, but Cath manages to catch him anyway. Even while taking damage, Cath’s Chaos-based regeneration and sheer malice keep the pressure on, and the chapter ends by teasing “Cath’s despair” as the hook for Chapter 226.
