The following phrase appears in the manga The Seven Deadly Sins' latest
chapter, 328.

> 制{せい}止{し}に入{はい}った ザラトラス聖{せい}騎{き}士{し}長{ちょう}に まで重{じゅう}傷{しょう}を負{お}わせた！！

I cannot understand it properly. I couldn't find the definition of 「制止に入る」,
only 「制止が入る」. The latter, as I understand it, means "to be stopped"; "to be
restrained". However, I was told that the context suggests 「制止に入る」 has the
exact opposite meaning, because the Great Holy Knight Zaratras was the one
restraining somebody, and he suffered a lot for that.

I don't read the manga, so I can't be sure.

If 「制止に入る」 really means "to restrain", then would 「邪魔に入る」 mean "to interrupt"?
Given that 「邪魔が入る」 means "to be interrupted".

Thanks for the help in advance!

Meaning of 「制止に入る」
Yes, 制止に入る and 制止が入る could be said as the "opposite" in some sense, for the
speaker of the sentence. That said, it is nothing like that the particles
indicate voices or something, but due to construction.

制止 means "holding back from doing some action", and in this case, probably
"intervention to stop a fight". 入る of course has tons of meanings generally
translated like "[verb] in". The point is, が marks nominative (i.e. subject)
while に marks destination, or purpose. Thus the two phrases actually come from
different compositions:

  * 制止が（X に）入る "the intervention cuts in (on X)" → _(X) is intervened_
  * （X が）制止に入る "(X) cuts in for intervention" → _(X) intervenes_

And Japanese freely omit known agents where English tends to place pronouns,
so that you might see only the portion you'll see.

> ザラトラス聖騎士長が制止に入った _Great Holy Knight Zaratras tried to intervene_
>
> → 制止に入ったザラトラス聖騎士長 _G.H.K Zaratras, who tried to intervene_

> _then would 「邪魔に入る」 mean "to interrupt"? Given that 「邪魔が入る」 means "to be
> interrupted"._

Yes, for the very same reason.
