"Now, repent."

- Vidar Sudou

The Muzzle of Vidar is a song released by Akuno-P on August 8, 2014. It is part of the Seven Deadly Sins Series, depicting Wrath.

Plot
The song begins with Vidar Sudou approaching a man and pointing her gun at him. He thinks of her mother as he recalls all the events that led to him seeking revenge against the man. Saying goodbye to "Mr. Pere Noel", he offers him the choice of dying by the fire burning the house or a gunshot. Vidar then proposes he give back his entire fortune to be spared, only for the man, Gallerian Marlon, to snap that he wouldn't do so. Thinking back on her childhood, Nemesis notices the man comforting his Doll and declares him mad, remarking on how the man's true daughter died long ago. Bidding her father farewell, she wonders why her mother loved such a man as she prepares to shoot him.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * Nemesis is the goddess of vengeance in Greek mythology.
 * The term "muzzle" means gun point, referring to the open end of a firearm's barrel; interestingly, the term "gunpoint" means to threaten someone with a gun.
 * The song's English title, "Satan's Revenge", is a reference to Satan, the patron demon of Wrath; it also refers to Nemesis' act of getting revenge on Gallerian, as portrayed in the song.

Curiosities

 * At the beginning of the song PV, a timeline involving the birth of Hänsel and Gretel, the Levianta Catastrophe, and all the major events involving the Seven Deadly Sins leading up to the song is rushed through.
 * Like the other songs in the Seven Deadly Sins Series, the song begins with the phrase "さあ" (Saa) after the singer addresses the "sinful man" following the timeline sequence.
 * Towards the climax of the song PV, the screen flashes phrases and images related to other songs; the phrases include "And Then the Girl Went Mad", "Abandoned" twice, "The Last Revolver", "Judgment of Corruption", and "Master of the Hellish Yard".
 * Similar to the Judgment of Corruption PV, after Ma appears, a tunnel is being fallen through towards the end, with five colored rings along the tunnels of the walls; each ring is the color of the Deadly Sin representing it, excluding greed and wrath, and appears in the song series' chronological order.
