* {{Fanservice}}: This is possibly one of the rare, non-sports related shonen manga to have this be more prominent with the men than with the women.
** Diane doesn't wear any sort of pants, just a one-piece top that barely manages to cover her butt and high heeled boots. As far as other manga go, this is still pretty damn innocent.
** Ban on the other hand, could get an award for this. Drink whenever Ban loses his shirt, and you'll be drunk in no time.
** In the anime, the camera suddenly seems supsiciously fond of Hendrickson's collar and shoulders after he [[spoiler: enters Gray Demon form]].
** Escanor gets ''buff'' during the daytime, and daytime happens pretty often.

* FromBadToWorse: Meliodas gets himself into a very nasty position in Liones when he jumps in to attack Hendrickson. Gilthunder arrives to take up the fight while Hendrickson focuses on Arthur. In the manga, Gilthunder and Meliodas fight evenly but Meliodas gets the upper hand. In the anime, this is reversed, and Gilthunder repeatedly gets the advantage on Meliodas. In both versions, before they can finish, Hendrickson makes short work of Arthur and jumps in, giving Meliodas a hell of a time just surviving. And then Vivian decides to join the fight for more fun, turning it into a three-on-one.

* PublicDomainArtifact: The Fountain of Youth which granted Ban his immortality, a magical cup that's ever flowing out with waters that have life sustaining properties, is combination of two famous things from lore. Its name and the magical waters that pour out of it like a spring make it a clearly obvious reference to the mystical fountain of the same name. Given it's a cup and considering the series takes various inspirations from the Myth/KingArthur mythos, this is also a reference to the Holy Grail, an artifact that's sought after in many Arthurian stories.

Though his hair can still get longer and he can grow a beard, things that would make his appearance look older, these are just minor superficial changes as he still retains a physical body that never grows old.

* ImmortalityInducer: The Fountain of Youth which granted Ban's immortality is this. Typically just simply drinking a small amount of the magical waters that flowed from the eponymous cup would prolong a person's lifespan by a number of years, how much depended on the amount drunk. Drinking the entire contents of the cup though grants eternal youth and immortality however at the cost of the cup losing its ability to produce its life sustaining waters, hence was part of the case that led to Ban becoming immortal.


Added DiffLines:

* LongevityTreatment:
** The Fountain of Youth which granted Ban's immortality was normally this prior to certain events. The waters that flowed from it had rejuvenating powers and drinking them would add years to a person's lifespan, the number of which depended on the amount partaken. A mere lick of the waters would add ten years of life while a simple swallow would add a hundred. Drinking the entire contents of the cup grants immortality however at the cost of what the waters were actually used by the Fairy Clan for. The waters from the Fountain of Youth in truth were used to sustain the Fairy King's Forest. When Ban drank the entire contents of the cup and gained his immortality during that infamous incident in his past, the life blood of that forest which could've healed it from the damage suffered that day was lost or so it was believed.
** Though the original Fairy King's Forest was lost, Ban was able to create a new one with the seed Elaine gave him. To sustain it in the absence of the original Fountain of Youth, Ban uses his own [[FertileBlood blood to help it grow]] as he is essentially the new vessel for the Fountain of Youth that pours forth life.

* LandShark: Sandcrawlers are carnivorous desert monsters capable of [[SandIsWater swimming through ground as if it were water]] and basically look like [[BuffySpeak seal shark amphibian things]]. Being around the size of Hawk at their smallest, they typically prey on small creature and thus are considered low on the danger level. They however are very territorial and would attack anything that enters their domain such as people and horses. Furthermore, Sandcrawlers can get really big and those that matured into full blown adults are known as Earthcrawlers. Significantly larger, Earthcrawlers can span dozens of feet long and are extremely formidable in power. There have even been documented cases of not only buildings but also Tyrant Dragons in the stomachs of the larger ones and those exceeded beyond 100 feet in size. Earthcrawlers can even get so big that they can easily swallow a regular sized giant in one bite with room to spare. Many Sandcrawlers and their adult forms the Earthcrawlers are found in the labyrinth of the Vaizel Fighting Festival hosted by the Ten Commandments due to having been displaced when the massive structure was formed.
