I have no idea what the anime did, but Meliodas beat Hendricksen using Revenge Counter. And his last words were, "In exchange for your absurd powers, you abandoned everything that mattered. And that is your sin." Plus, I find the art quite refreshing. But if you say that Meliodas won with nakama power, then you're sorely mistaken. He won because he has an unreal amount of endurance and nothing more. His abilities don't even involve attacking. They involve reflection.
