History Manga / TheSevenDeadlySins

* NoodleIncident: When explaining how pathetically weak King is, Meliodas recounted that King lost a fight with a mere cat who stole his snacks.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Namely the three princesses of Liones. From eldest to youngest, Margaret, Veronica, and Elizabeth.

The manga is by Suzuki Nakaba who also created ''Manga/KongohBancho''. It has been released in English by Kodansha Comics under the title ''The Seven Deadly Sins.'' It was later [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-04-11/the-seven-deadly-sins-fantasy-manga-gets-tv-anime confirmed]] that the series would have an anime adaptation by Creator/A1Pictures. It began airing on October 5, 2014, and ran for two hours (24 episodes). The anime was licensed and dubbed by Creator/{{Netflix}} as one of their "original" shows, premiering on November 1, 2015, with Creator/FUNimation acquiring the home video license in 2017.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Gilthunder did this when visiting Bernia, which is known for their famous ale. Gilthunder mocked their efforts and when a boy, Mead, wanted to get even by putting a worm in his drink as a harmless prank, Gilthunder responded by plunging his sword into the ground and stopping the water flow, preventing the town from making their ale, nearly leading to their economic ruin since it's how they thrive. [[spoiler:Given [[JerkassFacade what we later find out]], Gilthunder most likely did all of this in order to get Meliodas's attention.]]

** Gilthunder and Princess Margaret are in love with one another. Vivian however is absolutely obsessed with Gilthunder. So much so that [[spoiler: she took Margaret hostage when they found out who really killed Gil's father in order put him on her own personal leash. Said act caused Gilthunder to adopt a JerkassFacade to protect Margaret.]]

A LicensedGame called ''VideoGame/TheSevenDeadlySinsKnightsOfBritannia'' was developed by Natsume Atari and published by Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment on February 9, 2018 for UsefulNotes/PS4.

The series spawned several [[SpinOff SpinOffs]], the first a HighSchoolAU called ''Mayoe! The Seven Deadly Sins Academy!'', which places the character in a high school, started in August 2014. The second spin-off, ''The Seven Deadly Sins Production'', imagined the characters as actors (who just happened to have the same names as their characters) filming a live-action tv series, some of whom have radically different personalities to their characters, which started November 2015. A third spin-off, ''The Seven Deadly Sins: King's Road to Manga'', imagined King as an aspiring manga artist who wants to work under professional manga artist Meliodas, was released on February 2016. A fourth spin-off, ''The Seven Deadly Sins: Seven Days ~The Thief and the Holy Girl~'' shows how Ban and Elaine met in more detail and was released on January 2017. A movie called ''The Seven Deadly Sins the Movie: Prisoners of the Sky'' was released on August 2018.

* TinyGuyHugeGirl: King, a fairy, and his lady love Diane, a giant, can't be more different in size. And then there's Meliodas and Elizabeth, since Meliodas has the appearance of a child while Elizabeth does not.
* TournamentArc:

* ShockAndAwe: Gilthunder's main power.

* ShrinkRay: Well more like spores than ray, there's a mushroom creature that will shrink you if scared.

* TinyGuyHugeGirl: King, a fairy, and his lady love Diane, a giant, can't be more different in size.

** Diane in turn had a massive crush on Meliodas, a demon. [[spoiler:While she loses her memory of King twice, she does regain them and falls back in love with him.]]

** [[spoiler: When Hendrickson injects himself with Gray Demon blood, he becomes a Satanic being with fallen angel-like wings.]]

* DoggedNiceGuy: King really wants to spend some time with Diane. However due to varying circumstances and the fact that Diane only has eyes for Meliodas, he's really having a hard time.

* HurricaneOfEuphemisms: Howzer unleashes a set of these when fighting Diane in a tournament, which Meliodas commends him for. Too bad [[ThatCameOutWrong Howzer didn't actually mean them that way]], going so far as to FaceFault and clear the air before continuing his match.

* PettingZooPeople: The Beastmen known as Werefoxes are anthropomorphic foxes.

* WhamEpisode: Has it's [[WhamEpisode/NanatsuNoTaizai own page]].

* OneSteveLimit: Averted with two characters named Elizabeth. One is the princess and the other, [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname known more as Liz]], was Meliodas' former lover.

* LoveDodecahedron: Meliodas is protective of Elizabeth and is fond of groping her, though it's unclear what exactly he feels when he's doing it and if he might be [[ReplacementGoldfish seeing her as his deceased lover, Liz]]. Elizabeth herself is definitely in love with him, saying it feels like she's known him for a very long time. When she is first introduced, Diane is initially in love with Meliodas [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe for being nice to her]] in the past however her feelings aren't reciprocated. King, in turn, is in love with Diane due to a shared past however his feelings are likewise initially not reciprocated due to complicated matters. [[spoiler:When she regains her memories of the past, however]], Diane later realizes she's actually in love with King. The relationship though is hampered partly due to Diane not making her feelings more clear to King, and due to him being [[ObliviousToLove oblivious to them]] as result of him [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy deciding to completely give up pursuing a relationship with her]] so that she could be with Meliodas. From the sidelines, Howzer at least greatly respects Diane, possibly more, though he's not much of a factor in all of this.

''The Seven Deadly Sins'' (''Nanatsu no Taizai'') is a fantasy adventure manga of a land under a terrible tyranny... brought about by the [[LightIsNotGood Holy Knights]], who have taken control of the land and are making life miserable for everyone. Elizabeth, princess of a kingdom conquered by the Holy Knights, has traveled the land looking for the only group that might be able to defeat the Holy Knights, seven knights thought dead, feared throughout the land for their great and terrible power... The Seven Deadly Sins. The Sins are presumed dead after they had apparently tried to overthrow her father the king.

The manga is by Suzuki Nakaba who also created ''Manga/KongohBancho''. It has been released in English by Kodansha Comics under the title ''The Seven Deadly Sins.'' It was later [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-04-11/the-seven-deadly-sins-fantasy-manga-gets-tv-anime confirmed]] that the series would have an anime adaptation by Creator/A1Pictures. It began airing on October 5, 2014 and ran for two cours (24 episodes). The anime was licensed and dubbed by Creator/{{Netflix}} as one of their "original" shows, premiering on November 1, 2015, with Creator/FUNimation acquiring the home video license in 2017.

A second season of the anime was [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-09-27/the-seven-deadly-sins-manga-gets-new-tv-anime-in-2016/.93443 announced,]] but then [[http://www.youthhealthmag.com/articles/41471/20160312/seven-deadly-sins-season-2-release-date.htm encountered delays]], rumored to be to allow [[OvertookTheManga the manga time to finish a required arc or two]]. On October 15, 2018 the second season was finally put on Netflix.

The series spawned several [[SpinOff SpinOffs]], the first a HighSchoolAU called ''Mayoe! The Seven Deadly Sins Academy!'', which places the character in a high school, started on August 2014. The second spin-off, ''The Seven Deadly Sins Production'', imagined the characters as actors (who just happened to have the same names as their characters) filming a live-action tv series, some of whom have radically different personalities to their characters, which started November 2015. A third spin-off, ''The Seven Deadly Sins: King's Road to Manga'', imagined King as an aspiring manga artist who want's to work under professional manga artist Meliodas, was released on February 2016. A fourth spin-off, ''The Seven Deadly Sins: Seven Days ~The Thief and the Holy Girl~'' shows how Ban and Elaine met in more detail, and was released on January 2017.

** The first season of the anime ends with the Sins being stated to be heading over to Camelot in order to help Arthur. However before that happens, Meliodas along with the rest comes to Elizabeth in the midst of a meal with her family in order to invite her to continue their adventures together as they haven't yet reunited with Escanor. She accepts and is whisked away. As they're leaving, Ban decides to go somewhere but promises to return. He leaves with King deciding to follow him, a decision by both of them that no one really seems to mind. It basically all ends with an AndTheAdventureContinues scenario for the main characters. After the credits, a scene shows Gil, Howzer, and Griamore investigating some books that Dreyfus had setting up a season SequelHook.

** The gigantic Albion golems are mountain sized weapons created by the Demon Clan.

* HighSchoolAU: A special side spinoff which advertises Uno Fog Bar hairspray features the various characters in a highschool setting. Of note, Diane is depicted as a normal sized human, a number of the characters just simply wear school uniforms over [[TwentyFourHourArmor their full body armor]], and Gilthunder is a StudentCouncilPresident who has a bit of an OutOfCharacterMoment when his hairspray is stolen.

* 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.

** The Sins split up when they came across the corpse of the Great Holy Knight, Zaratras, and were surrounded by the knights of the kingdom. A main plot point of the story is PuttingTheBandBackTogether after a ten year separation.

** 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.

* LordCountry: The ruling family of the Kingdom of Liones shares its surname with the kingdom's name, Liones.

* LoveDodecahedron: Meliodas is protective of Elizabeth and is fond of groping her, though it's unclear what exactly he feels when he's doing it and if he might be [[ReplacementGoldfish seeing her as his deceased lover, Liz]]. Elizabeth herself is definitely in love with him, saying it feels like she's known him for a very long time. When she is first introduced, Diane is initially in love with Meliodas [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe for being nice to her]] in the past however her feelings aren't reciprocated. King in turn is in love with Diane due to a shared past however his feelings are likewise initially not reciprocated due to complicated matters. [[spoiler:When she regains her memories of said past however]], Diane later realizes she's actually in love with King. The relationship though is hampered partly due to Diane not making her feelings more clear to King, and due to him being [[ObliviousToLove oblivious to them]] as result of him [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy deciding to completely give up pursuing a relationship with her]] so that she could be with Meliodas. From the sidelines, Howzer at least greatly respects Diane, possibly more, though he's not much of a factor in all of this.
