Galand is my second favorite among the 10 commandments so I can't express how happy I am for his return, but I can't say I liked his design, definitely weird, but I believe I have some explanation, maybe Arthur revived Galand and gave him based powers in your biggest nightmares to him? The last memory Galand had before his death was the crushing defeat by Escanor, his muscular body is very reminiscent of Escanor's and page 17 shows Galand from a giant perspective while the enemy is tiny, this looks exactly like when he sees that he could not defeat Escanor and tries to flee the combat. Since Nakaba always pays attention to small details and references, such as Gowther's outfit disguised as an old elder had references to the Demon King and Mael, I can't believe the references in this chapter are meaningless, I'm not trying to imply that Galand has sunshine, but perhaps at least a big increase in physical strength to match Escanor in that regard. About Merascylla I don't have much to say, I completely loved her change in appearance, she is so beautiful and cute, much more than her original appearance, her appearance may also have some meaning, but honestly I couldn't think of anything to justify the change , perhaps the black hair bows to Merlin?
