History Anime / SevenMortalSins

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Lucifer claims ''all'' the Angels are like this, because everyone in Heaven is expected to pretend to be perfect. In comparison, she praises the Demon Lords because they at least are upfront about things.

* GardenGarment: In episode 6, Belphegor replaces Maria's destroyed clothes with a bikini made of leaves. Maria [[RealityEnsues comments that it is very itchy and uncomfortable]].

* RealityEnsues:
** In episode 3 Leviathan sees Asmodeus pole dancing and tries to one up her to impress Lucifer. Asmodeus quickly demonstrates that there is far more skill involved in pole dancing than meets the eye, and Leviathan makes a fool of herself in her attempts to mimic her moves.
** In episode 6, after losing a fight with Lucifer, Belphegor replaces Maria's destroyed clothing with a GardenGarment. Maria quickly notes how unpleasant it feels, saying it's itchy.
** The eating contest between Lucifer and Beelzebub finishes with both girls being sent to the hospital due to gastric problems.
** In the series the fact that Leviathan uses a Band-Aid in lieu of panties is treated as a source of comedy and {{Fanservice}}. The second Blu-ray exclusive Short Special shows that Levi’s trips to the bathroom are quite painful and uncomfortable because of it.
** In the following special Satan learns that climbing down a chimney is not the easy task Santa Claus makes it look like, especially if you are six feet tall.

A Mobile Game titled ''Sin: Nanatsu no Taizai X-TASY'' has been announced for release in June 2021. It will feature both the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Heavenly Virtues, as well as original characters.

''Seven Mortal Sins'' or ''Sin: Nanatsu no Taizai'' is an anime from the 2017 Spring season by Creator/{{Artland}} and Creator/{{TNK}} based on a figure line from the creators of ''Anime/QueensBlade''. Not to be confused with the '''other''' ''Manga/TheSevenDeadlySins''.

'''Please move any character tropes to the proper [[Characters/SevenMortalSins character page]]'''.

** Leviathan is a bitch to people and doesn't like Maria at first because she is the embodiment of Envy but she cares about Lucifer and loves her very much, also cares about Behemoth who she loves very much about and trusts as well and, despite how things went between them she also starts to care about Maria but as {{Vitriolic Best Buds}}.

** Belphegor’s game exploits this trope. Even if the players manage to defeat the Demon Lord, Belphegor will simply create another one, restarting the entire plot. Of course, that’s all a ploy to keep the players in the game longer and make them slothful like Belphegor herself.
** The series ends this way [[spoiler: with Lucifer becoming the leader of the Seven Sins with Leviathan replacing Astaroth when the latter left hell to be with Belial and a war between Hell and Heaven is about to begin]].

* ArmorIsUseless: The first armor Belphegor gives Maria in her game is an actual armor made of metal. It does protect her, but it’s so heavy Maria can’t actually move while wearing it. So Belphegor switches it for an incredibly skimpy outfit that actually has more defense than the proper armor.
* ArtisticLicenseReligion: A curious example. From Maria’s behavior and dialogue it’s possible to infer that Christianity that exists in the world of the anime is near identical to ours, but the very premise of the anime – Lucifer only fell down on modern times and the SevenDeadlySins can change – shows that it can’t be the exact same thing, which gives the writes some freedom to modify some details. [[spoiler:Indeed, turns out that not only this Lucifer fell down millennia after her biblical counterpart, she is not actually the first angel to fall, just the most famous one.]]

* BlackAndGrayMorality: While at first it seemed that the series was going the EvilVersusEvil route, it ultimately turned into this. [[spoiler: Surprisingly, the Sins are the Gray. Turns out that God is planning to purge both Earth and Hell to create a new world from scratch, as He has lost all hope on humans, who won’t stop falling into sin. The Mortal Sins are opposing Him, and while they haven’t said anything about stopping corrupting humans nor are they being entirely selfless in this battle (Lucifer suggested taking this chance to create a new world order with Hell on top), they are still portrayed as being much more noble and sympathetic than the fatalist forces of Heavens.]]

** '''Passion''': Asmodeus claims that by spreading her Lust she is also allowing humans to love each other, but Lucifer doesn’t buy it. On the other hand, Lucifer also insists that there is nothing sinful about “loveless sex”.

* {{Gainaxing}}: At one point during the BeachEpisode, Lucifer’s breasts bounce wildly when she ''calmly turns aside''. What’s more impressive is that her no-no bits remained covered, despite the fact that if her bikini isn’t tight enough to prevent such a movement in first place then it shouldn’t be able to prevent her breast from slipping off either.

* ImprobablyFemaleCast: There are only 4 named characters in the series that are NOT female: Behemoth, Gnosis, Charon and God. What's more, both Behemoth and Gnosis are demons with non-humanoid forms. We know the latter is male because of his voice, but Behemoth is TheSpeechless, so we can’t even be sure of its gender. And God is, well, the big G Himself. On top of all that, Gnosis is a SatelliteCharacter to Belial, Charon is a BitCharacter that is only on-screen for a few minutes and God is TheGhost. Interestingly, nobody seems to be concerned about how seemingly every important Demon Lord in Hell and every Archangel in Heaven is female. It’s just a fact everybody in the series takes for granted.

** In episode 3 Leviathan sees Asmodeus pole dancing and tries to one up her to impress Lucifer. Asmodeus quickly demonstrates that there is far more skill involved in pole dancing than meets the air, and Leviathan makes a fool of herself in her attempts to mimic her moves.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The things Belial says after she [[spoiler: fully absorbs Lucifer’s power]] are clearly meant to evoke something else entirely. Given her personality, she may have done it on purpose to mock Lucifer.

* RealityEnsues: This happens sometimes for comedic effect.

* RecapEpisode: Episode 4.5 is a recap of the previous 4 episodes.

* CatFight: In a short special, Lucifer and Belial have a Capture the Flag competition. When they both slipped and failed to grab the object, they started to tear off each other bikini tops. Lucifer decided that a Cat Fight would be much better competition between the two. Belial agrees and the two of them start to fight while Belphegor is in the background livestreaming to her viewers.

** '''Diligence'''/'''Honor''': Satan’s character shows that when Wrath is directed to the right way, it translates into a strong desire to see justice prevailing. Her love of battle translates into a desire to fight fairly, restoring Lucifer's strength to experience the best possible challenge.

** '''Determination'''/'''Valor''': Lucifer (Pride) and Belial (Vanity) are both incredible arrogant and prideful, but it’s precisely because of that they both go to great lengths to achieve their goals, absolutely refusing to give up until they have gotten what they wanted. Their willpower is just unbreakable.

* FanService: Oh, really, CaptainObvious?

* LyricalDissonance: One of Lucifer’s attempts at becoming a more popular singer than Astaroth involves making a stereotypical idol music video, complete with frilly dresses, upbeat music and a TastesLikeDiabetes montage of Lucifer doing girly things alongside Maria and Leviathan. The thing is, she is still using the downer lyrics Astaroth, Demon Lord of Melancholy, thought up.

* InvisibleToNormals: Regular humans can't see angels or demons, with the exemption of Maria. It's later show that demons can turn off their invisibility so they can interact with humans and get them to sell their souls.

* MaleGaze: It would be easier to count the scenes that ''don’t'' have this.
