* Heathcliff's Bodysack changes from Envy to Wrath as he keeps bashing down Erlking Heathcliff in their first real encounter in 6-34, as our own Heathcliff comes to outright ''refuse'' to believe what Erlking Heathcliff said (that every Heathcliff is the one who kills every Catherine) could be true. His unique dialogue in that stage even calls him out for "building" the figurative wall that keeps him from reuniting with Catherine.
* The Liu Association may only seem to have Wrath in every skill they have as a shoehorn of the whole PlayingWithFire schtick, but since here, Wrath is about standing up against something, Wrath still fits, as the Liu's whole ordeal in warfare is to stand up against their enemies.

* When Vergilius finally enters the fray in Canto VI, all his skills are Wrath, because he finally stood up against what the Sinners were facing. Even knowing of the possibility of not getting everything in the contract or possibly even facing punishments does not make him think twice.

In Limbus, {{Wrath}} is the sin of standing up against something, or someone, or a given idea. It is the Sin of self-righteousness and defiance and calls for one to stop being an ExtremeDoormat, to finally take action. This can go with the UnstoppableRage but this is far from necessary - TranquilFury is still an example of this Sin, and it also goes vice versa as being an angry person does not equal Wrath immediately. To act with Wrath is to say 'No, I refuse' loud and clear.

In Limbus, {{Envy}} is the Sin that is done in reaction as to what others do to you. While the Sin is associated with jealousy, it is only a small part of what Envy entails in Limbus. By definition, one cannot act with Envy unless something is done to oneself in provocation. This way, Envy can also be a desire to surpass another, or do something in retaliation against another. It is also why the symbol of Envy are thorns, as one has to stick out their hand in order to be hurt by them, and it is also the Sin that's related to abuse the most.

In Limbus, {{Gluttony}} is represented by a want for something physical. This can move in two ways - one being survival in a dog-eat-dog world, to do anything just to get by another day, and the other being a hunger for more achievements, recognition, what have you, even when you have what should be enough and never being satisfied. It is the Sin of hunger, and both of these versions are by definition endless.

In Limbus, Lust is the Sin to seek for personal fulfillment that is non-physical. It is often related to personal beliefs and religion, of one striving to be the one others have to follow loyally like a deity. To act with Lust is to give up on logic and purely follow one's gut instinct and hidden desires. Unlike what the subtext implies, Limbus has this Sin also represent many other desires. The key point that differentiates this Sin from Gluttony is that the fulfillment that is sought, is purely non-physical.

In Limbus, Sloth is the Sin of inaction and resignation. Unlike most other Sins, Sloth thus also shows through inaction. It is to ignore what is happening in front of you on purpose, and to just do whatever you're told without any kind of complaints or questions. Due to this it is in some way opposing Wrath, and can also be as a result of being misguided.

!! Gloom (Morositas)

In Limbus, Gloom is the Sin of dwelling on feelings for too long. Acting with Gloom is acting guided by one's negative emotions and is, in a sense, the Sin of losing oneself, similar to Lust, but the main difference is the cause - whereas Lust is caused by letting one's desires and positive experiences rein oneself, Gloom is caused by negative experiences. Gloom is associated with water, as is hinted earlier in ''The Distortion Detective'' that water tends to symbolize deep emotions of melancholia.

* Identities with Gloom as their first skill are Rosespanner Meursault who is leading a life with an unsatisfying SoulCrushingDeskJob and R Corp Ishmael who is always tormented by headaches caused by her line of work. Identities with Gloom as their first skill have just experienced or are currently experiencing something negatively that is affecting them.

Tropes associated:
* DeathByDespair

!! Pride (Superbia)

In Limbus, {{Pride}} is the Sin of the ignoring of consequences. It is the Sin of actions done with oneself in mind first and foremost, any damage be damned. One can be Prideful if one believes that TheNeedsOfTheMany overshadow the damage done, or refusing to acknowledge them. The inherency of Pride to selfishness is not necessarily a part of how Pride manifests itself in Limbus, as Prideful actions can be born from a lack of self-confidence or a misguided selflessness.

* Identities with Pride as their first skill are LCB Faust, who doesn't even hide her InsufferableGenius way of thought, K Corp Hong Lu who finds delight in deployment regardless of the damage he has to inflict due to it providing relief from boredom, and Pequod Heathcliff who decided to leave the Middle and join the Pequod crew purely because he wants out of the Middle, only coming to regard the damage later. Identities with Pride as their first skill may seem arrogant at first.
* Identities with Pride as their second skill are LCB Meursault and LCB Outis, who are competent and know it themselves, W Corp Ryoshu whose art comes from chopping up people, uncaring of who they were, and LCB Rodion who believed she was special enough. Identities with Pride as their second skill can excuse their actions by justifying it with their own wants.
* Identities with Pride as their third skill are Spicebush Yi Sang, who, like Dongbaek, in truth doesn't care about the end goal being the eradication of modern technology but rather has his personal goal set above all, The One Who Grips Faust who doesn't care about her underlings and just does because she can, and LCB Ryoshu who seems to have the littlest regard for human life. Identities with Pride as their third skill have their own desires take precendence over the rest.

Identities with Envy as their first skill have something else as a starting point, and decided to react out of that.

It is the Sin of self-righteousness and defiance and calls for one to stop being an ExtremeDoormat, to finally take action.
