The Seven Deadly Sins (Nanatsu no Taizai)

Chapter's out. So Percival didn't end up winning like that, neat. And we get a little more exposition on the titular Knights of Apocalypse from the new mascot. Interested so far. That spread looks awesome. Still, trusting foxes like that probably isn't a good idea.

Yeah, no way do the knights actually look like that (besides Percival). It reminds me from the beginning of SDS when the wanted posters wildly distorted how the characters actually looked.

Huh didn't realize the sequel series was out.

Also this manga also makes the "pestilence/conquest" mistake x'D Dagnabbit

"Look, Conquest, we know you've been in the band since forever, but you gotta admit you and War together are kinda... redundant."

"What about Death? War, Famine, Conquest and Pestilence all cause death. He's just a... summary of our effects."

"Yeah but his look is totally metal."

I'd argue that pestilence and famine are also pretty redundant, they are both just form of "slow really nasty death where you get weaker and weaker until you die"

Like four horseman metaphor makes most sense to me with the Conquest, with pestilence its kind of "...SO people get into war AFTER being devastated by plague?"

At least under pestilence you can eat food. But suffering that then enduring famine makes it even worse than it already is. A plague and a famine would be a good excuse to wage war cause it doesn’t mean your neighbors will gladly share or help

Also since SDS runs on badly broken game logic it’s like having two debuffs that are bad by themselves, but get WORSE when you stack them together.

Thats the thing though, horsemen arrive in order and war is the second one :D So with pestilence narrative is "first plague, then war, then famine, then everyone dies" instead of the "war of conquest, civil war, famine, all dead"

Death really makes the others kinda redundant.

x2 With famine it can follow war. So those can have negative impact in those steps as well. Only In modern times and worldwide cooperation could something as valuable as a vaccine be made within a year and help slow the spread of a plague.

You’d think it’d be obvious the dangers of it when we lived through a lockdown for a year

People can survive the other three. So Death is to finish them off if they still won’t die already!

Death is an interesting thing since Death could also start the other 3. A powerful king suddenly die could lead to a war, then as the resource redirect to the war effort, famine can strike next. And as more people die from the the war and the famine, disease start spreading more.

Hopping back in after years of not reading this:

Just curious as to what's going on, since I'm surprised this is still running.

Last I left off, Liz got crushed by a rock out of nowhere after they thought they'd stopped her curse.

Ah yes, the infamous fake epilogue. Incidentally its anime adaptation is this week.

I still wonder if it was an intentional fakeout or not, I really do.

I don't think this has been brought up, but some new voice actors for the upcoming Cursed by Light movie were announced, including the one for the Supreme Deity.

Chapter's out and we get a pretty good confirmation that Arthur has gone rogue.

Movie trailer.

So the main villain is the 2nd Fairy King Dahlia and his partner is some giant craftsman Dabuzu. And Zel seems to be promoted to main character here.

If it's actually Arthur I'll be honestly surprised.

Is the Supreme Goddess being taken care of in the movie, and that's why she was omitted from the manga's ending?

Newest 4KoA is out. Looks like Nasiens joins the party. So far it's Percival, Donny, and Sin.

Nakaba mentioned the movie is supposed to cover material he didn't get to touch on in the manga, so probably.

New chapter dropped.

The Seven Deadly Sins are mentioned, specifically Merlin. Also Liones is called "Evil" by a Knight of Camelot and they're looking for pieces of the Coffin of Darkness.

The franchise's ongoing hero gacha game, Grand Cross, just debuted its strangest crossover event yet: Stranger Things. Stop the Mind Flayer from overtaking Britannia with playable versions of Eleven, Will, Mike, and Jim.

What.

Closest thing to a mind flayer in NNT would probably be the Demon King's final form. Appearance wise at least.

I am racking my brain for what they have in common besides being two of Netflix's most popular shows.

At least a crossover between Cobra Kai and Kengan Ashura would make a bit more sense.

We still sure Arthur hasn't turned evil after the last few chapters?

I mean, it's not out of the question at this point. We just don't know if his recent actions are entirely out of his own will or if Chaos is influencing him.

Anyway, I read the latest chapter and anyone else not buying that the coffin was assembled and about to be activated this early in the story? Or that it will require the sacrifices of a single human village to activate? A lot feels off about this.
