In _Nanatsu no Taizai_ season 2 episode 2, it's explained if Meliodas makes
clones, his original power level is divided by the number of clones he makes.

For 1 clone, the power level is 1685, which seems correct.

![1 clone = 1685](https://i.stack.imgur.com/XfR9al.png)

However, if he makes 4 clones, their power level will be 420 each.

![4 clones = 420 each](https://i.stack.imgur.com/JCEcnl.jpg)

Mathematically, 3370 divided by 4 is 840, and when divided by 8 is 420.

But, why is it 420 not 840? Is this a mistake on the anime production?

Confusion on Meliodas' clones' power level


They have a power level of 420 each because, when a clone is made, it has half
the power of the original. But if multiple clones are made, then this power
that was halved, is split into the multiple clones. Meaning that the clones
receive power split up from the original's half and not from the original
itself.

ie, 420 x 4 = 1680

It is detailed by Merlin in Chapter 112 of the manga:
