** I'm not sure if it was stated that King was the oldest of the Sins but the reason is probably because he isn't the strongest. Meliodas so far has been stated to be the strongest ergo AsskickingEqualsAuthority.

* If Diane dislike her height so much, why does she wear high heel which make you look taller and how did she get a giant armor for her ten years ago.
** Maybe [[AllWomenLoveShoes she likes the shoes]]? I mean there are some women who are sensitive about their weight but aren't so extreme that they deny themselves of something really fulfilling to eat. The same I guess could be said for Diane. Personally, her shoes look more like regular boots rather high heels and it really doesn't matter whether she has high heels or not.\\

*** Well if she found a boot designer she liked odds are she’s commission more than one pair of boots if she could. She travels so she likely only has what she can carry. However if she had time and was staying in nice town for awhile (with resources for the shows) she could likely find a boot maker and being a cute giant girl drum up business for them while she’s there simply by walking around.

** Odds are the other towns might not believe he’s been caught, and the people also might not trust the Holy Nights. This show also took place in a world before/without smart phones so you couldn’t find out for the truth for yourself without visiting another village which would take at least a few days to get there (and who knows if they are telling the truth).
*** Also if you want to sell wanted posters of The Seven Deadly Sins (which I imagine some places would) then posters of Ban needs to be available, he’s the hot one!

[[folder:The Sins Not Usinh The Full Scope of Their Abilities]]

*It doesn't make sense. Why didn't the Sins use the full scope of their powers and abilities available to them up to that point in the earlier parts of the story? Why didn't Ban use his ability to take other people strenght or King use his ability to make small wounds even worst or Meliodas user Counter Vanish more often? All of these abilities would have made the earlier fights against the knights, Dreyfus and the earlier demons MUCH easier and probably safer in the case of the knights since they didn't actually want to kill them.

it's possible this is due to [[Escanor's natural magical power since he inherited the power of sunshine but we don't know when, it is possible the first time sunshine awakened when he was a child was also when gained the power and it just merged with his own natural magical ability and that could be something similar to Galand's power allowing him to boost Sunshine but only at noon due to the combined nature of the two powers turning into a different magical power.]]

He destroyed a village's livelihood, almost destroyed the village itself when he threw a spear at it, [[spoiler: almost killed Meliodas,]] and got thrown into a church filled with people and walked out without helping any of them.

** Bear in mind all the mortals Meliodas killed before he met Elizabeth. By being with him and forgiving him, she was...kind of ignoring the suffering they went through, something she could only do because she wasn't as vulnerable as them. The [=SD=]'s sadistic motivations aside, the curse could be seen as a sort of twisted justice/test: does she love him because she's ignorant of how much pain his sins caused, because it's convenient for her, ''or'' because her feelings are true and she genuinely wants everyone to be redeemed? Obviously it's the latter, based on how Elizabeth goes the Jesus route of forgiving every even-vaguely-sympathetic person she meets, but the [=SD=] is too unjust to acknowledge that. So the cycle continues. And on the other side, Meliodas endures the suffering his victims' families felt.

**Elaine also isn't as strong as her brother and doesn't have a holy weapon, the other fairies probably are more lenient towards her failure to protect the forest (which should have been temporary) than her brother's for that reason.



* Okay so Meliodas recounts the fact that Zeldris under orders from their father executed the vampires. Interesting, except that in a side story before hand we've seen Meliodas and the sin's fight and slay the vampires, meaning Mel should know Zeldris didn't actually kill them. What up with this?

**Meliodas doesn't actually say that Zeldoris killed the vampires, only that he was ordered to do. Sealing your beloved away for what could be centuries, or eternity, is still pretty painful.

[[folder: The curses on Meliodas and Elizabeth.]]
*The curses seem the pretty weak when it comes to punishing your children for falling in love with someone from the wrong family. First off, why not just create the situation ban and Elaine were in? Yes, Meliodas doesn't get to die and has to see his beloved die a hundred times, plus he has to wait for years for her to become an adolescent/adult again, but he is also guaranteed to meet her every time she reincarnates, plus she always falls in love with him and by now the time they spend together is much longer than they would have if they lived out their normal life (given that demons don't live for a 1000 years and Meliodas was already in his mid-300s).
*Even worse for Elizabeth: yes, she dies three days after awakening and has a shorter-than-average lifespan than most humans, a lot of deaths were probably violent and she has to die knowing how much it hurts her lover, but as far as we know most of her lives were relatively peaceful and happy, the guy she falls in love with is guaranteed to meet her and love her back and protect her, sparing her the aches of unrequited love and again, by now their relationship has continued for much longer than it would be if they had lived out their normal lives. Unless they get to live much longer than the average of their races because being super-powered makes you sort of immortal in their world and even then they couldn't be sure that their relationship would last that long naturally. (It's not unusual to fall out of love even if your relationship went well for years in real life, after all.)

** The lack of sexism might have something to do with how the other side of the coin for most powerful races, is the Goddess Clan, whom humans seem to revere to some degree, even the non-Druids (the female Druids become the Priestesses to the Goddesses, while the male Druids become assistants). This would likely make it different from how it works IRL, especially once you take into account the existence of magic, and individuals like Merlin.
