4Meliodas is the leader of the Seven Deadly Sins and is known as the Dragon's Sin of Wrath. As a good deal of the overall plot involves him, he is the primary main male protagonist of the series.
5Upon being found by Elizabeth at the start of the series, Meliodas decided to help her find the other Sins in order to stop the Holy Knights who had taken over her kingdom. Despite looking like a human child, Meliodas is actually a member of the Demon Clan. That said, he has lived for over 3000 years which is three times the average lifespan of a regular demon. This is because of a certain curse which was placed upon him.

8Meliodas is also a former Holy Knight of the kingdom of Danafor. However due to certain reasons, his uncontrolled wrath caused him to completely obliterate the kingdom.

10    A-C 
11Adaptation Personality Change: In the initial one shot of the manga and the Fairy Tail crossover, he is portrayed as more of sane Straight Man than his more perverted self in the manga proper.
12Afraid of Their Own Strength: Due to his past, Meliodas has a deep fear for his own strength which is why he prefers using blunt and broken weapons.
13Always Save the Girl: Elizabeth is his first priority; everyone and everything else (including morality) comes second.
14Armor-Piercing Slap: On the receiving end from Elizabeth. His plan to become Demon King was obviously not well received from The Sins and Elizabeth because of the consequences. He is stunned long enough for her to quickly escape and catch up with the rest of the sins to stop his plan
15Angst Nuke: This is how he became the Sin of Wrath. After Danafor was attacked by Fraudrin and his lover Liz was killed right in front of him, Meliodas' demon powers went out of control and blew up the entire kingdom.
16Animal Battle Aura: When Oslow was encountered for the first time, Meliodas' strength was manifested before the dog's eyes in the shape of a dragon similar in appearance to Meliodas' broken sword handle.
17Animalistic Abomination: This happened to Meliodas' stolen emotions in Purgatory. There, Meliodas' emotions became a shadow-like dragon that bore a resemblance to his broken sword handle.
18Anthropomorphic Personification: This became the case for Meliodas' stolen emotions. In Purgatory, Meliodas' emotions took on a physical form. Initially, they assumed the form of a shadow-like dragon. After encountering and fighting with Ban, the emotions turned into a near exact copy of Meliodas.
19Anti-Magic: Meliodas' Counter Vanish disperses magic attacks.
20Ass Kicking Equals Authority: He is The Captain of the Sins and the strongest of them all.
21Attack Reflector: Meliodas' power, Full Counter, reflects any attack directed at him with greater power back to the attacker.
22A more powerful version is Meliodas' Revenge Counter move. He receives any and all attacks to charge up one of his own which he can later unleash with full vengeance.
23Authority Equals Asskicking: As the leader of the Seven Deadly Sins, he is stated to be the strongest of them all.
24The Bartender: He is the owner of the Boar Hat bar.
25Batman Grabs a Gun: Meliodas is a pacifist that prefers to not kill and even not use actual weapons in lieu of his strength. However upon facing the Armored Giant, an opponent that can't be defeated by pacifist means, Meliodas is forced to break these particular personal vows as they are severely hindering him from doing the right things necessary.
26Battle Aura: Meliodas has this when he is enraged.
27Berserk Button:
28Don't you ever try to steal his sword. Ban tried to take it... once. He still has the scar, which is saying something since no other weapon has left a lasting mark on him.
29When someone tries to take Elizabeth away from him, he becomes even more enraged than when having his sword stolen.
30Betty and Veronica: The "Archie" for Elizabeth's "Betty" (very sweet and generally calm regular human) to Diane's "Veronica" (a clingy easily jealous exotic giantess).
31Beware the Nice Ones: Meliodas is a Nice Guy who cares about his friends but when he's in his rage mode, you better pray for God's help.
32BFS: Used to have one 3000 years ago.
33Big Damn Heroes: When Elizabeth is in dire danger from Derrierie, he awakens from his coma and saves her.
34Black Eyes of Evil: Obviously he's not evil, but his eyes turn black when he's using his demonic powers.
35Bound and Gagged: Hawk ties him up every night he sleeps with Elizabeth so that Meliodas doesn't do anything funny. He however takes it as a Casual Kink by calling it role playing.
36Broken Ace: He is acknowledged as the strongest among the Seven Deadly Sins and even considered to be stronger than other characters outside the order. Despite his strength, he has deep issues regarding him using it as he is afraid of hurting others like he did in the past. This fear is so much that it had hindered him at one point from properly defeating a opponent.
37Cain and Abel: He's the Abel to his brothers, Estarossa and Zeldris' Cain. Though from their point of view, it's the other way around.
38Came Back Wrong: After being killed by Estarossa and coming back to life, it becomes quickly obvious that Meliodas's outlook and way of treating his opponents is clearly different from how he was behaving before, something that his companions immediately notice. He goes as far as killing a defenseless Fraudrin who, at this point, abandoned the fight and wasn't willing to oppose anyone anymore, making his execution completely unnecessary. Such a cruel act was carried out with a shilling smile, leaving everyone nearby stunned.
39Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest: Inverted. He apparently only acts perverted towards his love interest. According to some extra pages in Vol. 14, when asked about when did Meliodas became such a pervert, the other Sins note that he wasn't someone who would do perverted things to any woman. At least since the creation of the Sins to when they reunited, they note he didn't seem to have any interest towards any kind of woman at all. The only one who he however acts this way is Elizabeth and before her was Liz his former lover.
40The Captain: He's the literal captain of the Sins.
41Casting a Shadow: Is universal to demons. Though, there may or may not be something special about his brand of darkness.
42Catch and Return: Caught a spear thrown by Gilthunder from 11 kilometers and returned it to him.
43The Champion: Meliodas fights for Elizabeth's sake above all else.
44Chick Magnet: Elizabeth falls in love with him over time. Diane has always had a crush on him. He was in a romantic relationship with Liz, who initially hated him when they met. Meliodas was even able to gain the attraction of three fangirls during the Byzel fighting festival. And Zaneli is madly in love with him.
45Chivalrous Pervert: He usually won't pass up a chance at groping the girl he likes or putting his head up her skirt, but he is still chivalrous when protecting Elizabeth and others.
46Combat Pragmatist: He will play the fool, but Meliodas has no problem striking a dangerous enemy when he is at his weakest.
47Combination Attack: Has one with Diane called Metal Crush.
48Comically Missing the Point: When King transformed into his older fatter self, the only difference Meliodas noticed was King's change of clothes. During the Vaizel fighting festival which featured Diane's weapon as a prize, Meliodas interpreted Howzer's battle banter with Diane as Double Entendre.
49Convenient Coma: He's left in a deep coma after he's defeated by Estarossa.
50Cool Sword: His Sacred Treasure, Lostvayne.
51Crazy Jealous Guy: He pokes Howzer's eyes when he starts ogling at Elizabeth.
52    D-G 
53Dark and Troubled Past: Like the other Sins, Meliodas had a dark past and could be the darkest out of all the sins. He also supposedly had bouts where he lost control of himself and destroyed a lot of stuff.
54Dark Is Not Evil: Despite the fact that Meliodas is apparently a demon, he isn't a bad guy. The problem though is that he has little to no control when he is angry or when his Super-Powered Evil Side takes over.
55Death-or-Glory Attack: Revenge Counter allows Meliodas to charge himself up for an attack via absorbing the attacks inflicted upon him by others. The catch is that he has to render himself defenseless and one wrong move in taking an opponent's attack could prove fatal.
56Death Seeker: Because even if his curse were broken, he'd still be exhausted from all the trauma it's caused him.
57Declaration of Protection: Meliodas promised to protect the kingdom of Danafor long ago. That didn't work out too well. Now though, Meliodas declared that he would protect Elizabeth with his life.
58Defecting for Love: In a flashback, it's revealed that this was the main reason why Meliodas switched sides from serving the Demon clan to opposing it. He had fallen in love with a member of the enemy Goddess Clan, Elizabeth.
59Depower: Merlin did this to him, 10 years prior to the series, to limit his powers lest he goes truly berserk and destroys everything. Even severely handicapped, he still possessed an enormous amount of power that rivaled Hendrickson and Dreyfus. He later regains his powers.
60Dirty Kid: Subverted. Though Meliodas looks like a kid that fondles Elizabeth a lot, he's actually Older Than He Looks. He's more like a Dirty Old Man without actually looking like one.
61Dissonant Serenity: When Meliodas' Super-Powered Evil Side takes over, he has very calm look about him. In reality though, he is extremely blood thirsty when like this.
62Doom Magnet: Other demons often seek Meliodas out so they can prove their strength by defeating him, bring him back to the fold, or just to mock him. Also- courtesy of his mother-in-law- causality itself wants him hurt. This is one reason he isn't safe to be around.
63Dope Slap: Get's one from Elizabeth after he says that she can hit him if it will make her feel better. She then proceeds to call him an idiot, powers up her hand with a gigantic ark, and slaps him across the face with it. He is obviously stunned as he wasn't worried that a slap from her would do any sort of damage. He also didn't stop to think that she would use her powers to do it especially since she can use it more efficiently now and she knew that any regular slap wouldn't be effective against him. An idiot indeed…
64The Dreaded: Meliodas is dreaded by a great deal of people. The first Fanbook further confirms this as he listed in many of the characters' profiles as someone they don't want to make an enemy easily out of.
65Early-Bird Cameo: The design for Meliodas' actual sacred treasure appeared early in the anime prior to it being revealed in the manga as opposed to the apparent placeholder weapon he was originally depicted with in the manga.
66Everyone Has Standards: In a side comic in Volume 6, Meliodas dislikes peeping on girls while they bathe since it would just cause guilt for the peeper. He however unfortunately prefers jumping right in and joining them instead.
67Failure Knight: Meliodas couldn't protect his lover Liz which Meliodas considers his greatest failure. Now, he has sworn to not let that happen again and protect Elizabeth, who happens to be Liz's reincarnation.
68Fatal Flaw: Due to his unwillingness to kill others, this came right back to bite him.
69A Father to His Men: He cares a lot about the other Deadly Sins and regards them as his friends instead of his subordinates.
70Flaming Sword: The weapons that so far have been enchanted by his Hellblaze technique have been swords.
71Flash Step: Meliodas is capable of traveling at extremely fast speeds. Of note is when he was in his wrath mode and ripped Guila's hand off to get his sword back so fast that she didn't even realized what happened to her.
72Foe-Tossing Charge: After Elizabeth gets kidnapped, Meliodas in one instance just plows through several lower ranking Holy Knights without even giving them so much as a chance for proper banter.
73Forced to Watch: Part of the curses placed upon him and Elizabeth by the Demon King and the Supreme Goddess respectively is that whenever Elizabeth dies (which inevitably happens after she regains the memories of her previous lives), Meliodas will always be there to witness it.
74Good Eyes, Evil Eyes: Normally, he has regular looking eyes but when his Super-Powered Evil Side takes over, he has Black Eyes of Evil.
75Green Lantern Ring: Meliodas can turn the black marks of his Super-Powered Evil Side into a variety of things such as wings, a blade, and a giant claw hand.
76    H-K 
77Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Meliodas might be a pervert who seems to have no shame for fondling Elizabeth, but he does care a lot for his friends, helps strangers, and shows some mercy to some people who try to kill him.
78Healing Factor: It's a characteristic of the Demon Clan.
79Heel–Face Revolving Door:
80In the far distant past, Meliodas was heralded as the most cruel and ruthless warrior among the Demon Clan. He however fell in love with a member of the enemy Goddess Clan, Elizabeth and as a result, decided to defect to fight against his evil race.
81Due to the curse his father placed upon him, Meliodas came back to life after Estarossa killed him but with less emotions. Having Came Back Wrong, this eventually leads to him leaving the Seven Deadly Sins and defecting back to the Demon Clan to become the next Demon King. His reason for doing so though is to attempt to break Elizabeth's curse however he does it at great cost to himself and everything else.
82Hellfire: With a name like Hellblaze and its effect on the otherwise immortal Ban, it's rather clear that the fire Meliodas uses is rather sinister in nature.
83Heroes Prefer Swords: His main weapon despite not using an actual sword.
84The Hero: Out of all the Sins, Meliodas seem to care less what he gets from it, but it could be just for Elizabeth or redeem himself.
85The Hero Dies: Killed by Estarossa after the Vaizel Festival hosted by Dolor and Gloxinia... except it's soon revealed by a revived Zaratras that Meliodas isn't actually dead, just in a deep coma.
86Heterosexual Life-Partners: Meliodas and Ban are so buddy-buddies that they destroy Basta Dungeon while arm wresting each other for fun.
87Hidden Badass: Due to his appearance, Meliodas is mistaken for a kid and nobody knows how strong he really is.
88Hidden Depths: Meliodas seems like a happy, calm, and tricky type of person but he has many issues and a Dark and Troubled Past that is filled with death and rage.
89Hope Is Scary: Melodias' curse allows him just enough autonomy that he can try to break it...but not enough that he can succeed. Consequently, he blames himself for Elizabeth's deaths more than the curse's actual creators.
90I Am Not Left-Handed: During the battle with Hendrickson's second One-Winged Angel form, Meliodas intentionally holds back his power so that he can charge himself with all the attacks from both Hendrickson and his allies to power up his "Revenge Counter" move. Most tellingly when he did this is that he actually used his less dominant right hand instead of his dominant left one.
91I Cannot Self-Terminate: Due to a curse placed on him by the Demon King, Meliodas is incapable of killing himself.
92Idiot Hair: He has a pair of small cowlicks that stand rather prominently atop his head with one in particular being more pronounced than the other. Identified in the first Fanbook specifically as his "ahoge (アホ毛)", this is reflective of some parts of his personality which fit a typical type of a shonen character and protagonist. The Fanbook also further lists this down as being his Charm Point.
93Idiot Hero: Meliodas isn't truly an idiot, but he is shown at times to be not exactly the smartest of the Sins.
94I Gave My Word: He promised Elizabeth during her first reincarnation that he would one day break her curse. Unfortunately, once Meliodas is taken over by his evil side, he decides to become the new Demon King so he can fulfill the promise.
95I Hate Past Me: Meliodas admits to Elizabeth that he is terrified of the possibility of becoming the same demon he used to be.
96I Let Gwen Stacy Die: Having failed to save Liz, Elizabeth's previous incarnation, haunts him. The previous other times he failed to save her also haunt him as well.
97Interspecies Romance: He is a demon who ends up falling for Elizabeth, a human. Later, it's revealed that Elizabeth is actually a reincarnation of a goddess who has been in love with Meliodas across her multiple reincarnations since 3,000 years ago.
98It's Not You, It's My Enemies: After the revival of the Ten Commandments, Meliodas starts to act rather distant towards Elizabeth and even forbids her from coming with the Sins to Camelot. He's doing it because he wants to keep her safe, but this upsets Elizabeth since she's worried about him and begins to question how he really feels about her. He's actually worried their presence might jog her Past-Life Memories.
99Karma Houdini: He rarely is punished for his perverted acts.
100The Kirk: Meliodas is very attuned with his emotion and he also use logic to exploit his enemies' weakness to the fullest.
101Knight in Shining Armor: Like King, Meliodas has shown some signs of being a noble knight but Meliodas has the bravery while King is more of a gentleman.
102    L-O 
103Lack of Empathy: The normally kind-hearted and willing to show mercy to a defeated enemy Meliodas ends up lacking this empathy, this humanity, after he is resurrected from death. It is the part of the Demon King's curse, as without empathy he is more likely to change back into the evil being he once was.
104Lady and Knight: The knight to Elizabeth's lady.
105The Leader:
106He is the captain of the Seven Deadly Sins despite his appearance.
107He was also the original leader of the Ten Commandments
108Lethal Chef: Food prepared by Meliodas might look good occasionally but it really tastes horrible. Special mention however goes to a meat pie he once made for Ban after losing a card game prior to the Edinburgh incident. The thing was an indescribable mess that looked nothing like meat pie... and it was moving around for some reason.
109Meliodas: "I didn't say it was good."
110Literal Split Personality: This is the case with Meliodas and his emotions that get stolen. As a result of the curse placed upon him by his father, Meliodas loses his emotions for sympathy every time he dies and gets resurrected. Torn from Meliodas and imprisoned in Purgatory, these emotions have taken on a physical manifestation. In essence, another Meliodas.
111Living Emotional Crutch: His and Elizabeth's relationship was not initially born out of dependence, but now that their blood families have exiled them to the realm of mortals, she is his only anchor in an extremely foreign, painful world. (The reverse is not true because Elizabeth is more capable of bonding with mortals and coping with their inevitable loss.) The Sins' friendship may be alleviating this strain.
112Lovable Sex Maniac: Meliodas often does all sort of perverted things to Elizabeth, such as groping her, flipping her skirt and stealing her underwear. Unusually for the trope, he only acts like this towards his love interest.
113Love Redeems: If he haven't fallen in love with Elizabeth, Meliodas would be a cruel and heartless demon instead of who he is now.
114Made of Iron: Meliodas is capable of surviving all sorts of punishment. Notably, he is able to survive and walk away from the fury of a completely jealous Diane.
115Mark of the Beast: His Super-Powered Evil Side covers him tattoo-like markings that appear to be made from his blood.
116Master Swordsman: Meliodas possesses incredible Implausible Fencing Powers with a sword or anything substituting for one. With a poor facsimile of a sword, he can cut mountains if he exerted himself enough. With a real one, he can cut down demons, who are impervious to most conventional weapons and techniques.
117Mellow Fellow: Meliodas' overall characteristic is usually very relaxed and nonchalant most of the time. When he isn't this, that means things are definitely serious.
118Mercy Kill: Accepted to kill Gelda after listening to her reasons.
119Moment Killer: In moments wherein Meliodas is reunited with Elizabeth, he tends to ruin them when he starts groping her.
120Muscles Are Meaningless: Though he has child-like arms, it doesn't stop him from breaking steel.
121My Greatest Failure:
122Meliodas states that his greatest sins were being unable to save Danafor or his lover Liz.
123Meliodas' betrayal of the Demon Clan triggered the Vampire Clan's rebellion and Zeldris was ordered to execute the vampires, his lover Gelda among them. Meliodas regrets not having been there for his brother at his greatest time of need.
124My Greatest Second Chance: Long ago, he failed to protect his lover Liz. Now he does whatever he can to protect her reincarnation, Elizabeth.
125My Species Doth Protest Too Much: The Demon Clan seems to be universally despised and reviled as evil monsters while he's acknowledged as one of the greatest heroes of Britannia. He's also apparently considered the worst traitor of the Demon Clan and was said to have shock them to their core, but the specifics are so far unknown. It turns out that Meliodas was the leader of the Ten Commandments and his cruelty and utter disregard for life were feared by both his kin and even by the Goddess Clan, but then out of nowhere betrayed the demons when he fell in love with the original Goddess Elizabeth.
126Nemean Skinning: In Purgatory, the embodiment of Meliodas' emotions is found naked. As monsters born in Purgatory have evolved to withstand its disintegrating effects, he gets Ban to slay one of the native monsters for which they make clothes from its pelt.
127Never Speak Ill of the Dead: Upon hearing Dogget's opinions on the deceased Dreyfus and Hendrickson, Meliodas calls him out on it. He explains that while they may have been swayed from the right path, they were still honorable as Holy Knights.
128Nice Guy: Despite his perverted nature, Meliodas is generally a nice guy. His genuine kindness is the reason that made Ban and Diane follow him.
129Noble Demon: He's a lot more ruthless when he's stripped of his emotions, but he genuinely tries to fulfil his promise to Elizabeth (in his own creepy way) and stops Chandler and Cusack from fighting the Sins. He remembers that he loved them, he just can't summon or understand the feeling anymore.
130No Guy Wants to Be Chased: Meliodas dislikes Diane chasing after him.
131Obstructionist Pacifist: Meliodas is a Technical Pacifist who chooses to be Willfully Weak and not kill his opponents. While this mindset works out early on in the manga as he and his fellow Sins are vastly more powerful than their opponents, it becomes a deterrent when they encounter the Armored Giant. Not only is this demon so strong that only using their full strength and killing it is the only way to stop it, but killing it is also the only merciful thing to relieve its suffering. Meliodas initially doesn't want to go this route and even hinders comrades of his that want to. It's only when the gravity of the whole matter is apparent to him that he decides to actually stop holding back.
132One True Love: To Elizabeth. She keeps falling in love with him no matter how many times she reincarnates and forgets about him. At one point, Meliodas claims this is an effect of their curse, but Elizabeth firmly states all her incarnations fell in love with Meliodas by their own will.
133O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Meliodas is normally aloof and nonchalant, even in battle. He is also normally perverted around Elizabeth. When he's not like that, then that means that things are really serious. A number of characters have noticed this.
134    P-Z 
135Panty Thief: On their initial meeting, Meliodas teased Elizabeth by saying he used to steal panties ten years ago. In the next chapter, he actually stole hers after cupping her but later decided to give it back.
136The Paragon Always Rebels: Played with in that Meliodas was once the Paragon of the Demons, a cruel, vicious, dangerous fighter and heir apparent to the Demon King. He turned against all of them out of love for a non-demon.
137Person of Mass Destruction: Meliodas, in his backstory, wiped out the kingdom of Danafor single-handedly when he lost control of his powers in the past.
138Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Despite his size, Meliodas is very strong. That said, he's quite muscular for his size as Clothing Damage proves.
139Playing with Fire: Meliodas is capable of using a black colored fire ability called Hellblaze. It is an enchantment that so far lets Meliodas coat his weapons in it and is one of Meliodas' techniques that are genuinely offense based rather than counter based. It is also the fire that scarred Ban.
140Power Perversion Potential: Given Meliodas's nature, he shows he can use his Self-Duplication ability to basically gang grope Elizabeth. Fortunately, Diane and Slader were around to put him back in his place.
141The Promise: He promised to Elizabeth in a past life that he would break their curse and free them both from the tragic cycle of falling in love to then be separated. This is likely the one thing that has kept him going for the past 3,000 years.
142"The Reason You Suck" Speech: To Dogget, explaining to him why he is not fit to be a Holy Knight.
143Rebuilt Pedestal: Ban and King start losing their faith in Meliodas when they realize he is related to the people who destroyed the Fairy King's Forest and killed Elaine and Helbram. They decide to trust him again once it becomes clear Meliodas wants nothing to do with the demons and is trying to defeat them.
144Resurrective Immortality: It turns out that due to the curse placed upon him long ago by his father the Demon King, Meliodas is incapable of dying properly as he'll just simply come back to life. On one hand, it unintentionally allows Meliodas to escape the commandment curses his father gave to the Ten Commandments since dying is one of the ways to break them. On the other hand, it prevents Meliodas from truly passing on and every time Meliodas is ressurected, part of his emotions are destroyed and the chances of him becoming the cruel and heartless demon he used to be increases.
145Roaring Rampage of Rescue: Meliodas won't let several Holy Knights guarding Liones stand in his way when Elizabeth is kidnapped.
146Sealed Badass in a Can: Was temporarily sealed into a charm by Veronica.
147Seen It All: Lampshaded by Diane after learning the truth about Gowther, he answers that he was not surprised because he has seen all sort of things in his life.
148Self-Duplication: He is able to multiply himself with Lostvayne and attack aided with his clones. He can make up to four clones, thus there can be up to five of him. The catch is that his clones are significantly weaker than him. For one clone, it possesses just half his strength. For four, they each possess one fourth the strength of a single clone. The clones are thus useless in a physical sense but are best utilized in conjunction with abilities like Meliodas's Counter.
149The Shadow Knows: Meliodas casts a rather demonic shadow in Chapter 28 as a hint of his true nature.
150Sheath Strike: Upon the Sins' rescue attempt of Elizabeth when she is brought to the capital of Liones, Meliodas decides to Dual Wield both the sword he received from her and its sheath as weapons.
151Shields Are Useless: Meliodas briefly used a shield against the Armored Giant before it melted away.
152Shipper on Deck:
153A flashback shows Meliodas teasingly comment that Gilthunder will grow up to be a Henpecked Husband to Margaret.
154Being his Nice Guy self, Meliodas can be seen on one of the issue covers encouraging a bashful Escanor to give a bouquet of flowers to Merlin, like he's his cool big bro or something.
155Signature Laugh: His is "Ni-Shi-Shi."
156Single-Target Sexuality: He doesn't feel the slightest attraction towards anyone but Elizabeth. The other Sins even note Meliodas never does perverted things to anyone but Elizabeth. In fact, she's the only woman he has ever loved in the past 3,000 years, no matter if her reincarnations have different personalities.
157The South Paw: He is left-handed.
158Spell Blade: His technique Hellblaze enchants weapons so that Meliodas can attack opponents with fire.
159Star-Crossed Lovers: With Elizabeth. Meliodas is cursed to live forever, encounter Elizabeth in each of her human lives, and eventually watch her tragically die in his arms. This cycle has repeated 107 times over 3000 years.
160Strong Family Resemblance: With both of his brothers.
161Stunned Silence: After Elizabeth hit him with a holy ark to escape, something he obviously didn’t expect, he is shown laying on the ground with “what the heck just happened?” face.
162Super-Powered Evil Side: When a Demon sealing item was used on him, he briefly vanishes before reappearing half covered with the tiny black marks that had shown on him a few times before when he brought out great power. In this form, he is far stronger than before, but acts almost entirely on instinct with only the slightest ability to tell friend from foe. He's incredibly violent, but looks vacant, innocent and mindless.
163Tame His Anger: He usually struggles to keep himself calm and not lose his temper since if he does his powers could go out of control. He later has to go through a trial to control his anger before the Druids can give him back what Merlin took away from him.
164Technical Pacifist: While Meliodas dislikes the idea of killing people, he is not above hurting foes.
165Technicolor Fire: The flames of his technique Hellblaze are colored black.
166Thanks for the Mammary: Meliodas tends to grab Elizabeth's bosom and before that, Liz's.
167There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Killed Gelda with an attack creating an hole of 30,000 feet deep.
168Thou Shalt Not Kill: Meliodas dislikes the idea of killing a person off whether they are good or bad.
169Time to Unlock More True Potential: Subverted in that he's regaining power he already had but was removed from him by a certain someone who feared he couldn't control it. He gets it back to fight the Ten Commandments, and boy does it show!
170Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Elizabeth is about a head taller than him.
171Token Heroic Orc: He's a Demon yet is on the side of good.
172Tragic Keepsake: Meliodas uses a seemingly worthless broken sword as his primary weapon and never goes anywhere without it. It was never revealed how he got the item but is one of the keys to unseal the Demon Clan. Meliodas says carrying around this sword is the only thing he can do to atone his sins, so you better not touch it.
173Tranquil Fury: Zaneli describes Melioda's new grasp on his power as this, being in utter control of his wrath while retaining his emotions and compassion.
174Undying Loyalty: To Elizabeth, in a very literal sense. Every time she's reborn, Meliodas returns to her side to protect her once again. Also, his one and only goal in his immortal life is to free Elizabeth from their curse.
175Unstoppable Rage: Meliodas' sin was him destroying the kingdom of Danafor out of rage.
176Use Your Head: Headbutted Ban when he was trying to finish him.
177Vitriolic Best Buds: With Ban; their fights are constant but mostly just for fun.
178Waistcoat of Style: Meliodas wears a black waistcoat for his initial attire.
179Weapon for Intimidation: When Elizabeth first notices his sword, Meliodas explains that he merely carries it around for intimidation's sake against those who'd dine and dash from his bar. As it's blade is broken, it leads some credence to his claim. In truth however, it's more than just a mere tool used solely for intimidation.
180We Used to Be Friends: In the Commandments's view, Meliodas abandoned them.
181White Sheep: For the Demon Clan in general, and his own family, specifically.
182Who Wants to Live Forever?: When you are cursed to watch the woman you love eventually die, be reborn, and die again, whenever you remind her of your past relationships?
183Willfully Weak: In order to not kill, Meliodas willfully limits his strength either by not using any weapon, or by using ones that are extremely damaged. Chapter 120 implies that he's either still holding back most of his power or has somehow become weaker than he was in the past. Galan, one of the Ten Commandments of the Demon Clan is surprised that Meliodas is doing so poorly against him and even asks if he's really Meliodas.
184Worf Had the Flu: Upon recovering the bulk of his power, Meliodas's rematch with Galan is completely one-sided.
185World's Best Warrior: Even among the Sins, Meliodas is recognized as the strongest of all. Back when he was the leader of the Ten Commandments, he was recognized as one of the strongest Demons of all, and the most worthy successor to the Demon King.
186Yank the Dog's Chain: Like you wouldn't believe. He was cursed with eternal life while Elizabeth was cursed to be reincarnated over and over without her memories while being instinctively attracted to Meliodas. If she ever regain her memories, she would invariably die within 3 days, in a way that Meliodas will be there to see her demise. So far, the cycle has gone through 107 times. It's something worthy of Ravenloft.

192"Serpent's Sin of Envy" Diane
193Voiced by: Aoi Yuuki (Japanese), Erica Mendez (English), Cecilia Gómez (Latin American)
194https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/diane7anime_1132.png
195Diane is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Serpent's Sin of Envy. She is also a member of the Giant Clan.
196About 700 years ago before the start of the story, Diane left her home of Megadozer and rescued King. For the next 500 years, they spent their lives together and fell in love with one another. Due to circumstances involving King however, he had to erase her memories and leave her. None the wiser, she returned back to her people to be trained under a fellow giantess Matrona. Later about 16 years before the start of the story, Diane met and fell in love in Meliodas, not realizing she was unintentionally misdirecting her true feelings. She then was involved in a plot by some vile Liones knights who intended to kill her and Matrona for glory. Although she survived the incident, Diane was made into a scapegoat for the massacre that had happened. Meliodas fortunately intervened at her trial and recruited her into the Sins.
197After the incident wherein the Sins were framed, Diane went into hiding in the Forest of White Dreams, forcing the resident Prankster Imps to aid her. When Meliodas and company came to the forest, she immediately rejoined the Sins.
198Action Girl: Diane being a giant and her powers makes her one of most powerful action girls in the manga so far.
199Adorkable: She's like this especially when she's giddy and lovestruck.
200All of the Other Reindeer: Derided by her own kind for not embracing their Proud Warrior Race culture.
201Amnesiac Lover: Twice. She and King were in love with each other long ago, but he had to erase her memories once he was forced to leave her. She briefly recovers her memories of him, but can't tell him how she feels because he followed Ban in his journey. By the time he comes back, her memories are messed up because of Gowther as a result of their confrontation and she quickly forgets King again. Ultimately, her amnesia is reversed. Diane finally gains back all her memories from the original Gowther- the creator of the doll Gowther who took them in the first place- whom she met when she went back in time as part of the trial given to her and King by Dolor and Gloxinia. The human Gowther possessed all the same magical abilities as his creation and had a compassionate mindset which knew the difference between right and wrong, so he blessed Diane with the restoration of every memory his doll wiped out, and explained that even if he hadn't, the memories held inside one's heart cannot truly disappear, only be suppressed, and would reassert given the right amount of time and circumstances. Having regained her memories, she immediately pursues a proper relationship with King upon completing her trial.
202Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: Gets this way when Meliodas doesn't fondle her like he does to Elizabeth even when shrunk down to normal human size much to Diane's dismay. The reason he gives though is that he wouldn't do it to someone so important to him.
203Badass Adorable: She's cute and, she's just as capable as her male compatriots in combat. Especially whenever she's trying to get Meliodas' attention.
204Battle Couple: With King. Following their kiss, they are an authentic couple.
205Beautiful Dreamer: For King who stationed his sleeping arrangements in the Boar Hat so he can watch over her.
206Because You Were Nice to Me: Diane fell in love with Meliodas because he treated her like a regular girl and not like a Giant.
207Belated Love Epiphany: In chapter 110, she reveals to Elizabeth that she regained her lost memories of her time together with King and now that he has gone somewhere without telling her again, she has realized how much she loves him.
208Betty and Veronica: The "Veronica" to Elizabeth's "Betty" for Meliodas' "Archie". Diane is a clingy easily jealous exotic giantess while Elizabeth is a very sweet and generally calm regular human. After the Kingdom Infiltration arc, she finally acknowledges she doesn't have a chance with Meliodas and starts to pursue a relationship with King instead since she regained her memories of their shared past.
209BFS: Ground Gladius is a technique of Diane's in which she creates a sword larger than her from the ground to attack an opponent.
210Big Damn Kiss: Literally. In chapter 215, she finally remembers her feelings for King and reciprocates his love, planting the mother-of-all-kisses on his lips. Except... hers are so big that she ends up snogging his whole head!
211Big Eater: According to a Q&A from the first Fanbook, she and Hawk eat the most. Justified for her as she's a Giant.
212The Big Girl: Both literally and figuratively. Diane is not only the biggest Sin, but also tends to favor physical attacks the most.
213Bokukko: She uses the Japanese male pronoun boku to refer to herself when talking.
214Boobs of Steel: She is easily the most physically powerful female of the Sins and she has the breasts to show it.
215Broken Pedestal: To a number of people who originally looked up to their order, they became this for their supposed crime of killing Great Holy Zaratras and attempt to overthrow the kingdom of Liones. Noteworthy among those who became disswayed with them is Gilthunder, Zaratras' son, however that turned out to be an act as knew the real culprit.
216Bullying a Dragon: What a gaggle of dufus knights thought was a good idea at the time they first insulted the giant woman. Considering she could put a crater in the ground by throwing a rock, it never dawned on them that raising her foot would send the lot of them hurtling towards another continent.
217Character Tics: Hair twirling. You can thank King for giving her the pigtails to do it with.
218Child Prodigy: When Diane was a young child, she was able to create two rock golems despite how young she was compared to the rest of the Giant Clan.
219Childhood Friend Romance: She and King were close friends back when they were kids (at least by their species standards).note  King fell in love with her and Diane wanted King to always love her. Then King erased her memories of their time together and Diane fell in love with Meliodas instead. She falls back in love with King once she regains her memories until Gowther erases them again.
220Chrome Champion: Her appearance turns into this when she turns herself into metal.
221Cleavage Window: When Diane was shrunken for the first time, she adapts this style briefly while wearing Elizabeth's clothes. Later, Diane dons a second giant outfit which has a cleavage window.
222Clingy Jealous Girl: Diane gets really jealous when Meliodas interacts with other girls than her, most notably Elizabeth. Sometimes her jealousy is expressed subtly and sometimes it's expressed as large as her size. She grows out of it once she gets over Meliodas and even encourages Elizabeth to confess her feelings to him.
223Clothing Damage: While shrunken, Diane used Elizabeth's clothes and ended up having them damaged either from Howzer or from her slowly returning to her normal size.
224Combination Attack: Has one with Meliodas called Metal Crush.
225Cry Cute: Had this when she thought Meliodas "cheated" on her and when she was tired of being left at the Boar Hat due to her being a giant.
226Cute Bruiser: She looks cute but can dish out alot of physical based attacks.
227Dark and Troubled Past: When she reunited with other giants after her time with King, she had difficulty accepting the life of a Blood Knight among her kind.
228Defrosting Ice Queen: Initially very antagonistic towards Elizabeth, Diane eventually warmed up to her and has become one of the most protective of the princess. She still sees Elizabeth as a love rival for Meliodas' affections though and thus can get very jealous, however Diane's fits of rage are more directed at Meliodas rather than towards Elizabeth.
229Determinator: She tries to rescue Elizabeth even after Dreyfus beats her.
230Dishing Out Dirt: Diane's power, Creation, is an ability to raise the ground like towers and turn minerals into sand. It is an ability exclusive to her and other Giants due to their deep connection to nature.
231The Ditz: She's pretty air-headed. It's bad enough that she somehow lost a weapon that is impossible to miss... well, if you're not her size, that is.
232Drop the Hammer: Diane's Sacred Treasure is a giant warhammer. If a panel in Chapter 50 is proportionally correct, Gideon is almost twice as tall as she is!
233Dub Name Change: In the Mexican Spanish dub, she is named "Diana" which is the Spanish rendering of her name from English.
234Easy Amnesia: The second time she had her memories taken away, the human Gowther effortlessly put them back in place. While his doll self was the one that enacted the memory purge, his human self is the original wielder of that magic and knows how to use it to a greater extent than his creation, because the doll Gowther has amnesia of his own regarding some of his own abilities.
235Elemental Shapeshifter: In addition to her Creation power, she is capable of turning into metal.
236Eternal Love: With King. Fairies and giants are not exactly immortal, but they are Long Lived Races that view hundred of years as we view a few years or even less. When they were younger, Diane was jealous that humans could marry and have families because of their short lifespan and she asked King to always love her.
237Extra-ore-dinary: Diane's power, Creation, is an ability to bend iron like toffee. It is an ability exclusive to her and other Giants due to their deep connection to nature.
238Fashionable Asymmetry: Originally, she wore two gauntlets in her initial attire. However, her right gauntlet was permanently destroyed while battling with Gilthunder. For her second attire, she decided to wear a right glove while still retaining her left gauntlet.
239Fastball Special: Threw Meliodas, Ban, and Gowther to Liones from around 40 miles away.
240Forgotten First Meeting: She met King when she was a child and the two fell in love with one another. He however erased her memories due to circumstances. She later regains these memories only to have them erased again by Gowther, then restored by the human Gowther.
241Freakiness Shame: Though she takes issue with her height, King in particular sees it as part of her charm.
242Friendless Background: When she was a child, she didn't have any friends to play with. King was her Only Friend, but he erased her memories of their time together.
243Friendly Rival: Despite considering Elizabeth as a love rival for Meliodas' affections, Diane is friends with her.
244Funbag Airbag: During an attack from Guila in the Capital of the Dead, Meliodas landed into Diane's cleavage. She, however, was delighted at the accident.
245Gentle Giant: Despite being a giant known as a great criminal, Diane is quite friendly, but mess with Meliodas, she will not forgive you.
246Giant Poofy Sleeves: Though relatively small in relation to Diane's size, her initial outfit sports these.
247Giant Woman: She's a very cute giant girl.
248The Gift: Diane is extremely talented as a warrior and has the potential to become the greatest warrior of her clan.
249Girlish Pigtails: Her standard attire includes her hair in pigtails. King was the one who suggested her to wear her hair that way, so it wouldn't get in the way. She was overjoyed with the hairstyle so much that when she donned her pigtails for the first time, she swished them around with glee.
250Golem: With her powers, Diane's capable of creating and controlling these. Of note, she was capable of golem creation since she was very young, a prodigious feat by itself compared to the rest of the Giant Clan.
251There are two golems that she has been able to create and use since she was young. Named by her as Fillet and Loin, these two were first conceived when she was all by herself and longed for friends. Since then, she has created and used them a number of times. Though formidable, they're susceptible to mind control attacks and can be used against her. Furthermore, their strength only goes to a certain degree and can thus be weak against particularly strong opponents. This is because they're ultimately Imaginary Friends that Diane created and as such they didn't have specific forms which would allow them to achieve complete bodies or realize their full potential.
252During the tournament hosted by two of the Ten Commandments, she creates golem replicas of her friends albeit with some details off such as their sizes. Since they were formed by the strong feelings that she had for actual friends from the depths of her heart, they were way stronger than Fillet and Loin. The individual strength of each of these differed depending on how strong a bond she had for the one each replica represented. Noteworthy among these was the golem replica of King which was able to one punch straight through the opponent she herself was having a hard time at that moment. Said golem though the second to the weakest looking among the replicas created was formed from the strong feelings she had for King then despite certain circumstances.
253Green-Eyed Monster: Whenever Meliodas gets close with other females, Diane becomes extremely jealous. She grows out of it, along her infatuation.
254Hates Being Alone: Diane mentioned that she was always alone and just wanted to be friends with Elizabeth and have Meliodas' attention and later that King doesn't go anywhere without her like he did before.
255Height Angst: Her height gives her much distress. She in fact hides her real height like the stereotype about how girls hide their real weight.
256Hopeless Suitor: No matter how much she loves him or what size she has, Meliodas only thinks of her as a friend and only acts perverted towards Elizabeth. After realizing Meliodas is meant to be with Elizabeth and remembering her past with King, she accepts this and moves on, falling back in love with King.
257Immortal Immaturity: Though she's around 750 years old, she tends to act like a immature teenage girl. It's however reasonable as according to a Q&A from the first Fanbook, if she was human, she would be one year younger than Elizabeth, 15 years old.
258Incredible Shrinking Man: Gender-flipped. There are have been a few times when Diane has been shrunk down to human size thanks to the magical spores of a particular mushroom creature. There is only minor loss in strength or toughness, and she still retains her powers. She was still by far stronger than a high ranking Holy Knight; if anything, it is possible that shrinking makes her more powerful since she becomes faster and looking like a regular human causes people to underestimate her.note  The first time she was affected, it was by accident. Later on, she's been given the option to do so willingly via some medicine created by Merlin. Said medicine looks like Japanese candy called Konpeitō.
259Interspecies Romance: Diane is a giant who at first has a huge crush on Meliodas who is a demon. Later, she falls in love with King, a fairy.
260It's All My Fault: After Meliodas reveals Elizabeth will die in three days as a result of regaining her Past-Life Memories, Diane blames herself for it because she encouraged Elizabeth to remember her past with Meliodas without knowing the consequences it would have.
261Leotard of Power: Her initial attire is a yellow orange leotard.
262Love Confession: She delivered a fantastic one to King in Chapter 215 in the form of a big fat kiss. And it continued into Chapter 216 with another kiss.
263Love Hurts: Her unrequited love for Meliodas hurts her, but she manages to eventually get over it. Later, she remembers her past with King and realizes she still loves him, but since he has gone on a journey with Ban without telling her, her heart is suffering over the possibility that once again he will leave her behind and won't come back because she didn't tell him how she felt when she had the chance.
264Love Makes You Dumb: Diane sometimes tends to act a bit dumb when comes to matters with Meliodas.
265Made of Iron: Due to being a Giant, she appears to handle powerful attacks well. When Dreyfus made a hole in her chest and leg, she is still able to move around.
266Minidress of Power: Her second attire which Diane has Merlin make for her, has this in its design. It's a rather Dangerously Short Skirt but fortunately Diane wears Modesty Shorts for the ensemble.
267Modesty Shorts: She's seen in a pair in her second outfit- see Mini Dress Of Power above. The shorts cover up what the dress doesn't, and keep her undercarriage hidden away when she uses kicks. This is best seen as she drop-kicks Gowther while shrunken down by Merlin so she could chase after him through town easier.
268Ms. Fanservice: Diane with her outfits is sometimes this, though not as emphasized much as Elizabeth. She also most definitely not as emphasized as much as Merlin.
269My Species Doth Protest Too Much: The Giant Clan is a Proud Warrior Race. Diane however doesn't adhere to her race's philosophies.
270Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Mother Catastrophe, the name of one of Diane's more devastating techniques.
271No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Most notably whenever she is jealous.
272Oblivious to Love: She doesn't notice King's crush on her at all until she regains her memories of their shared past.
273Official Couple: She becomes King's girlfriend as of Chapters 215-216.
274Our Giants Are Bigger: Diane, the Serpent's Sin of Envy, is a very attractive young lady... who happens to be enormous. She's too big to fit in most buildings, and actually laments her great height, since it means she can't interact normally with Meliodas, on whom she has a major crush.
275Parental Abandonment: Diane's parents are no longer alive. They both went the way of most giants, felled in battle in honorable warriors' deaths. Matrona agreed to look after Diane in their stead in the event that happened, and raised her the only way she knew how- to fight much in the same way.
276Person of Mass Destruction: Up to Eleven with Gideon.
277Poor Communication Kills: She finally gets over Meliodas and decides to pursue a relationship with King due to her regaining her memories. However, due to her not making her feelings perfectly clear to King, he leaves her believing that she only sees him as a friend.
278The Promise: In the past during their time together, Diane asked King to promise her that he would always love forever.
279Relationship Upgrade: As soon as the Gowther of the past returns her lost memories, she immediately tells King she loves him back and kisses him.
280The Scapegoat: Framed by the survivors of a group of corrupt Liones knights who killed her mentor, Matrona, then blamed her for the murder.
281Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: She found herself forced to make a choice as Dolor in the past that would have either ended in his death or his conscription to the Ten Commandments. But Dolor mentioned the possibility of running away, too, which was lost on him because his pride as a giant wouldn't allow for it. Except this is Diane we're talking about, not Dolor, and she is bound by no such obligations. Guess what Diane did? Sometimes, overthinking a problem robs you of an obvious solution.
282Shameless Fanservice Girl: Diane usually doesn't care if she is put in situations that are just blatant fanservice, such as her clothes being almost ripped apart. She cares even less if it involves being with with Meliodas. She however was ashamed that one time with Howzer during their battle in the Vaizel Festival with her weapon as the prize when she thought he was being a pervert.
283Shipper on Deck: After she finally gets over Meliodas, she helps Elizabeth realize she loves him and encourages her to confess to him.
284Shout-Out: A Giant using an attack called Double Hammer?
285"Silly Me" Gesture: She sometimes hits herself cutely in acknowledgement of some of her ditzier instances.
286Single Woman Seeks Good Man:
287Diane loves Meliodas because she sees him as a good man who treated her as a normal size girl.
288Later, she falls in love with King because of his kind heart after remembering what a good friend he was to her and how he took care of her back when they lived together.
289Smitten Teenage Girl: Towards Meliodas. Moreso considering that according a Q&A from the first Fanbook, if she were human, she would be one year younger than Elizabeh, 15 years old.
290Submissive Badass: Despite being a very powerful individual, Diane follows Meliodas' orders, no questions asked.
291Sweater Girl: When shrunk down by her own volition via the medicine given to her by Merlin, Diane dons a dress that basically resembles an over-sized sweater.
292Sword and Sorcerer: Often forms this combination with King. She's the sword and he's the sorcerer.
293Taking the Bullet: She takes a falling building for Zeal.
294There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Diane used her sacred treasure Gideon to form a giant floating mountain sized boulder above Vaizel in order to defeat Helbram who had just defeated Meliodas.
295Time Dissonance: Has a similar time perception to King's, since Giants also have very long lifespans.
296Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Taken to the extreme with her and King. She's a 30 feet tall giant and he's a fairy who looks like a kid.
297Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Elizabeth's Girly Girl.
298Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Despite being an badass giant Action Girl, Diane often acts cutesy especially when dealing with Meliodas.
299Tsundere: A Sweet type. She's open with her feelings and affectionate by default, but she's also hot-tempered, violent and very easily jealous.
300Victoria's Secret Compartment: Being a giant, Diane is capable of carrying smaller characters in between her breasts such as with Meliodas in the fifth volume cover of the manga, and with Elizabeth when they were both shrunken by magic spores.
301Violently Protective Girlfriend: She might not be Meliodas' girlfriend but she will beat the living hell out of you if you try to hurt him.
302Vitriolic Best Buds: With Ban.
303What the Hell, Hero?: She calls Gowther out for messing with Guila and Zeal's memories in order to "study" love.
304Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Diane is afraid of bugs, but will put that aside to help Meliodas.
305Wistful Amnesia: Even though King erased her memories of the 500 years they spent together, Diane still subconsciously remembered things she learned from her time with him, such as how to make her clothes. She even vaguely remembered someone promised to always love her and her wish to one day create a happy family with the man she loved, but she thought she was thinking about Meliodas.
306Woman Scorned: If Diane thinks that Meliodas has scorned her despite she not being his girlfriend, she can go completely ballistic.

309BAN
310
311https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nanatsubananime_4002.png
312Ban is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Fox's Sin of Greed.
313In the past, Ban was a bandit who went by the moniker "Bandit Ban". He sought out the Fountain of Youth in the Fairy King's forest in order to gain immortality in the hopes of living long enough for something good to actually happen to him. Instead, he met with the fountain's guardian Elaine and over the course of seven days, they both developed deep feelings for one another. However in the midst of it all, a Demon attacked the forest and deeply wounded both Ban and Elaine. In a sheer act of sacrifice, Ban was saved by Elaine when she gave him a drink from the fountain instead of saving herself. Having become immortal, Ban took care of the Demon but the damage to the forest was done. For what happened, Ban was accused of the crime for which he didn't defend himself against.
314Later, Ban was personally recruited by Meliodas to join the Seven Deadly Sins. As Meliodas was the second person after Elaine to acknowledge him, Ban joined the order. After the Sins were framed, he let himself be captured and imprisoned in Baste Dungeon, only to escape years later when he discovered that Meliodas was still alive.
315While Ban didn't defend himself for the crime that he was accused of, he however at some point in time actually revived the forest by planting the seed entrusted to him by Elaine. For this, he was deemed the new Fairy King by the Sacred Tree and accepted as such by most of its inhabitants much to his reluctance.
316Animalistic Abomination: During his search for Meliodas' emotions in Purgatory, he succumbs to the effects of the place and loses his sense of self thus turning him into a shadowy fox-like creature. Fortunately, he regains his composure and reverts back to his regular immortal human self. Despite this, it still proves a struggle for him to not lose himself while in Purgatory.
317Anti-Hero: He's one of the more amoral of the Sins yet he is a hero nonetheless.
318Bare Your Midriff: His initial attire leaves a bit of his midriff seen.
319Because You Were Nice to Me:
320Ban decided to follow Meliodas because the latter was the only one besides Elaine to accept, in Ban's own words, a shitty person such as himself. Because of this, Ban also trusts Meliodas so much that he refuses to believe that Meliodas may actually be a demon.
321Also, if it wasn't for Elaine's Nice Girl personality, Ban would have been actually more selfish than he is now.
322Berserk Button: Due to what happened with Elaine, Ban doesn't like demons. Demons tick him off so much that he refuses to believe that Meliodas may actually be a Demon. In addition, any threat levied against Elaine causes him to go into a blind rage.
323Best Friend: Out of all the Sins, Ban is Meliodas' closest friend. Ban admits Meliodas has to be the most important person to him after Elaine.
324Big "WHAT?!": Expressed this when Hawk revealed that he could talk, was told the small kid he was fighting was King, and when King revealed that he can transform into his fat self.
325Bloody Hilarious: Ban being immortal is sometimes played for laughs like when Diane crushed Ban's entire upper body and squirted blood out top as he if she were squeezing juice from a fruit, and the whole thing was treated like slapstick.
326Bring My Red Jacket: Fitting as an immortal that is often subjugated to all sorts of bloody wounds that he can just simply heal from, his attire is predominately red.
327Can't Catch Up: While a formidable fighter in his own right, Ban is increasingly outclassed in terms of raw specs by his companions, who all Take Levels in Badass and get a Mid-Season Upgrade while he's left in the dust. At one point, King outright tells Ban to stay out of the way since he'll only be a hindrance. Notably, Ban is the only one among the Sins who does not have their Sacred Treasure by the time of the Ten Commandments' revival.
328Can't Hold His Liquor: He gets drunk very easily.
329Complete Immortality: It's the reason why he doesn't age and he heals so fast. He got this ability from drinking the Fountain of Youth. It's not entirely infallible though—it seems that if a source of power mightier than the elixir that gave him the ability hits him, he won't be able to regenerate it. The demonic energy that Meliodas exudes is one example of this.
330Dark and Troubled Past: Ban's childhood wasn't all that great, and his life before joining the Sins was so bad that he wanted to become immortal to see if anything good would happen in his life.
331A Day in the Limelight: In Bandit Ban.
332Erotic Dream: Tends to have these involving Elaine which he unfortunately talks during his sleep.
333Every Scar Has a Story: The story behind Ban's very prominent scar is that he tried to take Meliodas' sword.
334Expy: Of Hikyou Bancho from Kongoh Bancho , the previous work of the manga's author, Suzuki Nakaba. Design-wise, Ban's choice of clothes make him look like Hikyou Bancho. Ban being an expy of Hikyou Bancho is made more apparent when Ban decided to use a whip similar in design to the one used by Hikyou Bancho.
335Fantastically Indifferent: Inverted. Whenever something unusual happens, like discovering that Hawk is capable of talking or that finding out that King is capable of changing his form, Ban is usually the only one who truly freaks out. His fellow Sins on the other hand, play the trope straight and take such things mostly with little to no alarm.
336Meliodas: [King changes back from his adult form to his kid form] Oh look, his clothes changed.
337Ban: Are you blind, Captain?!
338Fighting with Chucks: One of the weapons Ban tends to fight with are nunchucks usually of the three-stick variant. His Sacred Treasure, according to the first Fanbook, Courechouse was an ornate four-stick variant.
339Full-Frontal Assault: Due to the nature of Purgatory which disintegrates regular armor and clothing among other things, Ban loses his clothes amidst his search for Meliodas' emotions in the prison for souls and for a time had to fight in the nude.
340Good Scars, Evil Scars: On the left side of his neck, he has a large scar given to him by Meliodas.
341Good Thing You Can Heal: Since he cannot be killed and easily regenerates any damage, Ban has been the victim of the more gruesome and bloody attacks. Not like he is bothered by them.
342Healing Factor: Ban has this as one of his two abilities. He is literally unkillable by conventional means, but unconventional means like being Taken for Granite can still be lethal for him. Or worse.
343Heartbroken Badass: Life is like hell for him since Elaine's death. Despite the company of his friends.
344Hell-Bent for Leather: Ban typically dresses in a red skin tight leather attire.
345Heroism Equals Job Qualification: For reviving the forest, the fairies who accept Ban as their new king actually argue that he's more worthy of the title than Harlequin, the true Fairy King, as the latter abandoned the forest in the first place just to save a few friends. Ban however refutes their argument by stating he himself doesn't have the right as he tried to kill his only friend just to revive one woman.
346Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: With Elaine. It's easy to miss, what with Meliodas being a tiny 5'0, King always floating, and Diane being a giant, but Elain wasn't actually that tiny. His height is listed as six foot eleven. At a grand total of nearly seven feet, Ban would tower over pretty much anyone, much less a small woman.
347Human Pincushion: Ban is sometimes the victim of this but survives it due to being immortal.
348Immortality Seeker: Ban sought out the Fountain of Youth in order to become immortal. His reason for doing this was that he believed that if he lived long enough, something good would eventually happen for him. He gave up this quest when he learned that it would destroy the forest. Unfortunately, he still became immortal via Elaine's Heroic Sacrifice.
349Immortal Hero: While he isn't exactly heroic, he is one of the main characters.
350Immortal Life Is Cheap: Ban is often subjected to the most brutal and otherwise lethal physical attacks such him being ripped apart to his bones broken. However, due to being immortal, these are just minor annoyances. It's the unconventional attacks though that give him cause for concern. As Guila notes, "unkillable" and "undefeatable" are two vastly different things.
351Impossible Thief:
352Ban is capable of stealing an object a great distance away, and even an opponent's heart when aided with nothing more than a blunt three-stick nunchaku without any attachment.

368Mr. Fanservice: Ban often wears skin tight clothing and is often a subject Shirtless Scene due to repeated Clothing Damage. It gets to the point where in the anime, he's shirtless at some point almost every single episode. At one point, a demon punches him to the ground, and when he gets up, his shirt is gone. Not torn or shredded, just literally gone.
369Murder Is the Best Solution: Resorts to this by default.
370Naked Apron: After the battle with Guila in the Capital of the Dead, Ban was left without a shirt since it was heavily damaged.

380Opposites Attract: Ban's a rather tall originally normal-aged Jerk with a Heart of Gold human thief. Elaine's a Really 700 Years Old Token Mini-Moe saintly Fairy guardian.

381Power Parasite: Ban can steal the physical abilities of his opponents, including speed, stamina and raw strength, and add it to his own, thus strengthening himself, and weakening his opponents.

386Red Eyes, Take Warning: Subverted. While his eyes are red and he's a jerk, Ban usually has his heart in the right place.

395Ban is quite incensed when he takes Merlin apparently being brusque with Escanor to mean he 'cheated' on her. (Although he is smashed at the time)
396Silent Scapegoat: Regarding Elaine's death and the destruction of the forest. His motives for not letting on haven't been revealed so far.
397Single-Target Sexuality: Elaine is the only woman he has shown any interest in.

401Sue Donym: Ban enters his and Meliodas' names in the Vaizel Fight Festival with Diane's weapon as a prize, as Baan and Meliodaz respectively.
402Talking in Your Sleep: Ban tends to talk in his sleep mostly in regards to Elaine. Of note is him talking about planting a seed, which might be the seed Elaine gave him in the past.
403Team Chef: He is easily the best cook of the band.
404Token Evil Teammate: Among the Sins, Ban is the most amoral of them all, preferring to steal and even commit murder. However, that's just in comparison with his fellow Sins. In comparison with other more genuinely antagonistic characters, Ban is actually not that bad of a guy.
405Token Human: According to the first Fanbook, he is one of the two Sins who're identified clearly as humans with the other being Escanor. The Fanbook though makes a note that Ban is originally human while Escanor is identified merely as a human.
406Torso with a View: King blows his chest open during their first encounter, leaving a few scraps of flesh on both side to support his upper body. It quickly fills in as though nothing ever happened, however.
407Verbal Tic: Ban tends to say some of his sentences in a song-like manner, as symbolized by a long sing tone at the end in his speech bubbles.
408Vitriolic Best Buds: With Meliodas. They derive great enjoyment from beating the ever-loving crap out of each other, but the thought of Meliodas possibly being a Demon greatly upsets Ban.
409King and Diane too.
410Wham Line: I'm leaving the Seven Deadly Sins...
411What the Hell, Hero?: To Meliodas when the latter refused to kill an opponent even when the opponent was a heavily mutated Holy Knight whose death would end his suffering. Ban even punches Meliodas due to said matter.
412Whip It Good: During the battle with the mutated Holy Knight who wore Gowther's armor, Ban picked up a whip as weapon against it. The whip's design, combined with Ban's tight fitting clothes, makes Ban look like an Expy of Hikyou Bancho from Kongoh Bancho, the previous work of the manga's author, Suzuki Nakaba.
413White Hair, Black Heart: Downplayed. He has white hair and although he is not that bad, he is highly dangerous.
414Wound That Will Not Heal: In a moment of drunkenness, he pissed off Meliodas enough to make him release his demonic powers, and Meliodas briefly lost control and inflicted a nasty gash on the side of his neck and face. Because it was inflicted by cursed demonic energy, even though Ban has been gifted regenerative immortality, the sheer evil power Meliodas possesses innately surpasses the blessed power of the fountain of youth Ban drank, so the scar remains.
415You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Has whitish-blue hair in the anime.

418KING
419https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nanatsukinganime_2872.png
420King is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Grizzly's Sin of Sloth. He is the master of the Black Hound, Oslow. King's real name is Fairy King Harlequin, and as the name suggests, he was the king of the fairies.
421700 years before the start of the story, King left the Fairy world to save his friend Helbram who was captured by some humans. However through some Trauma-Induced Amnesia, he ended up forgetting who he was and his original mission. For the next 500 years, King spent relative bliss and ignorance in company with Diane, slowly recovering his memories. It was only when he reunited with his friend again did King learn that his old friend was massacring countless humans over the centuries, an act which was practically a declaration of war between the Human and Fairy Clan. For his inaction to stop his friend from doing so all those years, King was sentenced to an imprisonment of over 1000 years. In the midst of it though, he was recruited into the Seven Deadly Sins.
422After the incident in which the Sins were framed, King attempted to return to the Fairy King's forest only to learn that it had been burned down and that his sister, Elaine, had also died. When he learns that Ban is the supposed perpetrator of this crime, King briefly allies himself with the Holy Knights of Liones until learning the truth, upon which he also reunites with his fellow Sins.
423Accomplice by Inaction: His crime is this for doing nothing to stop his friend from massacring humans for over 500 years completely unopposed due to King having amnesia and not being aware of what was going on during that time.
424The Atoner: He willingly allowed himself to be imprisoned for a thousand years to atone for not being there for his friend.
425Authority Equals Asskicking: He's the lord of the fairies and one of the Seven Deadly Sins, the most powerful knights in Brittania, having spent centuries repelling entire armies of Holy Knights who sought the Fountain of Youth. In the present, he's more than able to deliver a Curb-Stomp Battle to Dreyfus, after seeing how the Great Holy Knight and Hendrickson had revived King's dear friend Helbram from the dead as a barely conscious zombie begging for death.
426Authority in Name Only: Despite his name referring to him being the king of the fairies, it unfortunately turns out to be this when it's revealed that they no longer see him as their king, having decided that the honor now better suits Ban for what he did for them.
427Battle Couple: Often seen fighting alongside Diane. They later become a true battle couple after both of them kiss.
428Beady-Eyed Loser: He's beady-eyed and probably the character with the worst luck in the series.
429The Beastmaster: He is the master of Oslow the Black Hound.
430Berserk Button:
431Him being too late and mentioning it to him to protect those he cares about, makes him furious.
432He doesn't take kindly to being told of his missing wings, as both of the previous Fairy Kings had them. And when he finally does grow his in, he hates the fact that they start off as tiny (they did for Gloxinia as well) and his peers start joking about him "growing a pair" and that pair being "kid's size" or "baby wings".
433Big Brother Instinct: He tried to killed Ban after assuming he was responsible for Elaine's death.
434Big Damn Kiss: He finally got his reward from Diane in Chapter 215, after crying his eyes out moments earlier thinking she was doomed to die. A glorious Pet the Dog moment if there ever was one, indeed. Then, he gets to return the kiss in the very next chapter.
435Blade on a Stick: Wields Chastiefol, a spear crafted from the wood of the Sacred Tree that is harder than steel and can transform itself into various configurations to diversify King's attack set. However, due to the naturally weak physical bodies of fairies, he tends to use it through telekinesis and magic instead.
436A Boy and His X: Oslow is King's dog.
437Break the Cutie: The Kingdom Infiltration arc wasn't all that nice to King, what with him arriving too late to protect the person he values the most and being forced to kill his best friend for a second AND third time (Along with the knowledge that his actions in the past ended up in said friend's corpse circling on the black market). As if that wasn't enough: the memories of his old past were dug up, he got some shred of hope of Diane remembering him only to have it ripped from him the upcoming second and was forced to mortally injure Meliodas. In the next arc, he returns home to his friends and family, only to have them shun and abuse him for leaving the forest 700 years ago. Then it gets leveled again by one of the Demons' "playthings". It really sucks to be King.
438Butt-Monkey: He is often the Straight Man to the other Sins' antics and a Dogged Nice Guy in regards to Diane. It even shows up in the popularity poll. When he manages to land first place by a landslide the other Sins make him throw a party for them while stripping him, much to his embarrassment.
439Cannot Spit It Out: King has trouble expressing his true feelings towards Diane.
440Cassandra Truth: King is having a hard time after finding out that Elaine wanted to save Ban and that he is not the person he thinks he is.
441Childhood Friend Romance: He and Diane were close friends back when they were kids (at least by their species standards).note  King fell in love with her and Diane wanted King to always love her. Then King erased her memories of their time together and Diane fell in love with Meliodas instead. She falls back in love with King once she regains her memories until Gowther erases them again.
442Covert Pervert: While he personally denies being one, it's rather clear that some of his feelings towards Diane are rather dirty minded.
443Curb-Stomp Battle: Takes down Guila and Jericho with little to no effort and one-hits Great Holy Knight Dreyfus. Hendrickson had all his reasons to keep him distracted.
444Dark and Troubled Past: For not being the one who actually protected the fountain, he lost his sister and the forest he lived in was destroyed.
445Declaration of Protection: Facing the second Albion, he swears to protect everyone he holds dear and destroys it.
446Dogged Nice Guy: King really wants to be with Diane as per the promise he made with her. However due to varying circumstances and the fact that Diane is smitten with Meliodas, he's really having a hard time.
447Dual Age Modes: King's human form which he can change to is what he would look if his form was much older.
448Enemy Mine: King temporarily teams up with the Holy Knights in order to get at Ban when he believes the latter is the one responsible for his sister's death. He only sought Ban and not the other Sins though. The truce falls apart after being reunited with Elaine's ghost in the Capital of the Dead.
449Eternal Love: With Diane. Their species are so long-lived that centuries look like a short timespan for them. Being jealous of the humans being able to form families due to their short timespan, Diane asked King to always love her.
450Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": King's name is just a title used by others as a reference to him being the Fairy King. His real name is actually Harlequin though it is rarely used by most characters. According to a Q&A from the first Fanbook, he's the one who picked the name.
451The Exile: After having been absent for 700 years, the fairies now consider him a traitor and have forbidden him from ever returning to the forest.
452Fantastic Racism: In his past, King harbored some deep animosity towards humans. However it was less because of actual racism and more because of caution. He actually admired human things just as much as his more curious fairy friends back then as evidenced by his choice of clothes. It's just that King was more aware of and cautionary against the dangers that some predatory and unscrupulous humans might bring.
453Fingore: His fingernails get ripped out when he used the True form of Chastiefol against the Albion who attacked the second Fairy King's Forest.
454First Girl After All: A male example. Diane falls in love with King once she accepts Meliodas is meant to be with Elizabeth, but it turns out Diane met and fell in love with King long before she fell in love with Meliodas. King just erased her memories of their time together. Diane remembering him was a major reason for her getting over Meliodas so quickly.
455Flight: This is King's specialty, as he and his spear are able to levitate effortlessly.
456Florence Nightingale Effect: He is in love with Diane, the girl who found him near a river while suffering from amnesia and took care of him until he got his memory back.
457Flying Weapon: Via his powers, King is capable of levitating his weapon Chastiefol and attack enemies with it in mid air.
458Forgotten First Meeting: King had in the past actually met Meliodas as one of the knights who captured him for his supposed crime of sloth. However since this happened centuries ago before King learned that Meliodas wasn't actually a human, he didn't recognize that Meliodas was the same knight from back then. Because of this and that one of the rules of their order was that they shouldn't delve into each others' past, it lead to King being surprised why Meliodas still looked the same when they reunited ten years after the Sins were framed. It's only after learning about Meliodas' past that King pieces together that they had met before.
459Game Face: King uses his human form as his game face. Subverted in that he often returns to his child form to actually do anything since his human form takes up too much of his concentration.
460Garden Garment: His clothes are actually plant based which he made himself after watching some humans make some.
461Glamour: Inverted. Instead of transforming into a more youthful form, he can take on a older, fatter one. He originally used it as a form of respect rather than a disguise. However after reuniting with Meliodas, he unintentionally uses it for a wide range of reactions for various hilarious situations.
462Glass Cannon: King maybe able to dish out great damage via magic but he can't withstand physical attacks especially when his spear's defensive capabilities are broken through. This also applies to his Sacred Treasure, capable of dealing great damage but easily breaks apart when hit with ice magic.
463Going Commando: According to a Q&A from the first Fanbook, he doesn't wear underwear like the rest of the Fairy Clan.
464Gonk: King's human form is a fat slob of a man who seems to embody sloth more properly than his true fairy form.
465Heroic R.R.O.D.: The result of using Chastiefol's released form to bring down the Albion attacking his home. Goes From Bad to Worse when you realize just how painful the release must have been taking his pre-existing injuries in regard. The force was strong enough to rip his NAILS off his hands.
466Heroic Self-Deprecation: King usually puts himself down for always being late when those he cares about need him. Even when the other fairies label him as a traitor for abandoning the forest, King doesn't defend himself because he believes they are right and without his title, he's now a nobody.
467Hopeless Suitor: He has a huge crush on Diane, who's only interested in Meliodas. Subverted since it turns he isn't so hopeless after all.
468Identity Amnesia: In his back story, King ended up having amnesia after a human merchant slashed his back and knocked him out which caused King to end up forgetting who he is for about 500 years which led to his sins.
469Insecure Love Interest: Besides being convinced that Diane will always think of him as a friend, he also even believes that she's probably better off without him.
470Instant Costume Change: As a Fairy, King is able to not only change his form, but his clothing as well.
471Interspecies Romance: King, who is a fairy, has a large crush on Diane, who is a giant.
472In the Hood: He wears a long orange and aqua sweatshirt with a hood.
473Involuntary Shapeshifter: King sometimes shape shifts into his human form as a form of his expression in any given situation.
474I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Doesn't seem to resent the fact that Diane's crush on Meliodas makes it hard for him to have a chance to get together with her and is happy with just spending time with her.
475Kill the Ones You Love: King was forced to kill his Best Friend Helbram after the latter was driven mad into a massive killing spree of humans. As if that wasn't bad enough, King has to kill him two more times after Helbram is brought back to life through "Enslavement of the Dead".
476Large Ham: He has his moments. Most notably when he's worrying about Diane
477Living Emotional Crutch: He becomes this to Diane once she regains her memories, to the point that she can't stand being away from him and she begins to freak out when he goes somewhere without telling her since she's afraid that he will leave her again.
478Magic Enhancement: His magic, Disaster. It's literally the ability to exaggerate anything, usually into something worse. Glancing blows become gushing wounds. An easily curable poison can be turned into a virulent toxin. A single sprout can grow into a huge forest in moments before being culled just as easily.
479The McCoy: King is very emotional.
480Mercy Kill: In a rather offhanded way, Helbram made King promise in the past that the latter would stop him should he ever lose his way. This unfortunately lead King to resort to killing Helbram when it becomes apparent he is way beyond simple redemption. King actually fulfills the promise the first time around, but thanks to Hendrickson resurrecting Helbram a century and a half later, he unfortunately had to kill Helbram a second time. And then Helbram is resurrected a second time and King is tragically forced into a position of doing it a third time.
481Misplaced Retribution: King attempts to kill Ban to avenge the Fairy King's Forest and his sister, thinking Ban was the one who burned the forest down and killed Elaine. King didn't know Ban was a Silent Scapegoat; a red demon was the one that destroyed the forest and Elaine sacrificed her life to save Ban.
482Morph Weapon: King's Sacred Treasure, Chastiefol can change its shape via King's will.
483Beehive Barrier: The spear's eighth form, Pollen Garden, is a barrier comprised of interlocking circles of pollen that resemble part of Chastidol's regular weapon design. It is also capable of healing wounds albeit rather slowly.
484Blade on a Stick: Chastiefol is a spear and it's first and default weapon form aptly named Chastiefol is one of an intricately designed one. Its third form, Formalization, is also a spear but with a completely different design, the most notable is a claw shaped blade. The first form of its released True form likewise is a spear however its size is incredible massive. Additionally, the blade of this form has a rather distinct and impressive looking design.
485Fantastic Light Source: The spear's seventh form, Luminosity, is a small Saturn-like orb of light which can illuminate dark places.
486Fantastic Nuke: The first form of Chastiefol's True form is capable of destroying an Albion in a single blow at the cost of heavy damage to King himself. It's sheer destructive power is said to be unparalleled, and it even doubled King's power level at the moment it was fired.
487Flechette Storm: The spear's fifth form, Increase, is a myriad of kunai-like spearheads shaped like the spearhead of its first weapon form. These King can use to swarm his enemies, or to protect himself by surrounding himself with them. They can even outpace explosions. When Chastiefol is in its true released state, these turn into more streamlined spearheads that are incredibly fast and powerful. With their shape and power, they almost resemble miniature space fighters/missiles.
488Green Thumb: The spear's fourth form, Sunflower, is a giant flower that can shoot lasers at King's opponents. In Chastiefol's released True form state, this form turns into a giant flower that resembles a Rafflesia. While its stem is smaller in its True form state thus making its height shorter, it's capable of firing more lasers at more targets due to its flower being wider and larger. What's more, it's aided by giant roots capable of flinging opponents into the air and into the flower's target range.
489Killer Teddy Bear: The spear's second form, Guardian, is a giant four-armed, pillow-like teddy bear King can use to attack his opponents. In Chastiefol's released True form state, Guardian turns into a less like a teddy bear, more muscular and threatening, two-armed bear.
490Next Tier Power-Up: Chastiefol gets this as a whole with its released True form, a state which not only brings about the true power of all of the spear's individual forms but also drastically changes their appearances. King willfully doesn't use this state normally as using it takes quite a toll on his body. Circumstances later on the series however has him resolve to do otherwise.
491Taken for Granite: The spear's third form, Formalization, has this as one of its powers.
492My Greatest Failure: He was too late to save Helbram and his friends from humans and then he got amnesia and indirectly let a crazed Helbram kill humans for 500 years.
493My Sister Is Off-Limits!: He didn't want Ban to have a relationship with Elaine at first.
494Nice Guy: King is possibly one of the nicest guys in the series.
495Nosebleed: King tends to have this in certain situations with Diane.
496Oblivious to Love: Having been in the shadow of Diane's constant fawning over Meliodas for so long, he's so completely convinced that Diane only sees him as a friend that he fails to pick up the various hints that she's gotten over Meliodas and wants to pursue a relationship with him due to regaining her memories of their shared past together. This though is thanks in part to Diane not making her intended feelings clear.
497Official Couple: To his joy, he finally got to hook up with Diane as of Chapters 215-216.
498Only Sane Man: Out of all the Sins, King is so far the most serious, and sometimes gets shocked at what his teammates do.
499Our Fairies Are Different: King is a long living child-like fairy capable of levitating himself and other things. King, though, can transform himself into an older, fatter version of himself. He's initially wingless because growing wings depends on a fairy's personal growth.
500Powers Do the Fighting: When fighting, King only lets Flying and Morph Weapon Chastiefol do most of the work rather than fight directly.
501Power Gives You Wings: After training with Gloxinia, King has finally started to grow his own wings.
502The Promise: He makes two significant ones to two important people in his past.
503With Helbram, King promised that if the former ever came to a point where he would absolutely hate all humans, King would stop him since they were the best of friends. King fulfilled it initially by killing Helbram in the past. However thanks to a forbidden technique used by Hendrickson which resurrects Helbram, King was forced to kill not only a second time but also a third time as well.
504To Diane, King promised her that he would always love her forever. He is trying to keep this despite certain complications.
505Rebuilt Pedestal: For leaving the Fairy King's Forest for 700 long years, his sister and all of his fairy friends lost their respect of King and many even treat him as a traitor when he meets them again. After King proves to the fairies that he still would go to extreme lengths to protect them all, they acknowledge him as their beloved king once more.
506Relationship Reset Button: He and Diane were very close friends long ago and she even made him promise to always love her, but King erased her memories after deciding to atone for his sin against Helbram. Now, they managed to meet again as members of the Sins, but King can't get as close to Diane as he did in the past, since she doesn't remember him and Meliodas is now the only one in her mind. She briefly remembers him, but Gowther messes with Diane's memories, causing her to forget King again.
507Relationship Upgrade: At the end of Chapter 215, Diane kisses him, since the original human Gowther recovered her memories. The following chapter, both of them reciprocate their feelings toward one another, King returns the kiss, and the two are officially a boyfriend-girlfriend pair.
508Revenge Before Reason: King doesn't bother to actually investigate if Elaine was actually killed by Ban before attacking him. As a result, he's shocked when Elaine's spirit arrives to free Ban from petrification.
509Royals Who Actually Do Something: In his past, King use to protect the Fairy Forest with his own powers and doesn't sent out his men to do it.
510Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The shy, friendly Sensitive Guy to Ban's roguish, crude Manly Man.
511Signature Scent: His normal fairy form has a very distinctive flowery scent which according to a Q&A in the first Fanbook is sweet olive (Osmanthus fragrans). When he changes into his human form though, the scent also changes to a musty, sweaty one according to Gowther and the other Sins.
512Single-Target Sexuality: King has never shown the slightest interest in any girl other than Diane. He has loved her ever since she was very young.
513Smug Super: He sometimes is this with opponents due to his powers. An example was his fight against Guila and Jericho wherein whenever they tried to attack, he pretended to be surprised only to reveal later that he was just kidding.
514Squishy Wizard: King has incredible magic skills, especially when aided with his Holy Weapon. Physically however, he's ridiculously weak to a degree that he apparently lost a fight with a mere cat who stole his snacks. In fact, according to a Q&A from the first Fanbook, he's actually weaker than Hawk.
515Stalker with a Crush: In the Boar Hat, King sleeps next to a window with a hammock just to view Diane sleeping. He claims it's to keep an eye over her and not to watch her helpless sleeping form.
516Straight Man: King tends to play this in relation to the antics and personalities of the other Sins most of the time.
517Survivor Guilt: When King went back to his home country, he found it was in ruins and his sister was killed. King has regretted this ever since, and shed tears thinking if he hadn't left, this might not have happened.
518Swiss Army Weapon: Chastiefol is very useful in a lot of situations. Lampshaded by Ban.
519Sword and Sorcerer: He's the sorcerer and Diane is the sword.
520Sympathy for the Devil: King sympathizes with Helbram despite the latter doing all sorts of atrocious things as Helbram is actually King's old friend gone mad with hatred for humans due to King being too late to save him.
521Tears of Joy: After witnessing that the Fairy King's forest was revived.
522Telekinesis: King is capable of moving things from afar. This range from simply pushing teacup off a table, to levitating a large amount of water out of a lake.
523Temporary Bulk Change: Via his ability to take on a fat human form.
524Throw the Dog a Bone: At last, after a long string of Break the Cutie moments, he hits his breakthrough a little over 200 chapters into the story. King's ship finally comes in and he gets rewarded for all the hardship he's been through in a splendid couplet of overdue happiness. Diane reciprocates his love and the two hook up, and he discovers he finally got his wings!
525Time Dissonance: Since fairies have a way longer lifespan, King has a very different time perception than regular humans. Something that happened "recently" for him could have happened several years ago from a human time perception.
526Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Taken to the extreme, since he's a fairy who looks like a child and Diane is a giant.
527Tragic Keepsake: As of chapter 103, he has added to his hood Helbram's helmet which the latter sought out for King in the past.
528Trauma Conga Line: Seriously, poor King never catches a break. In the past, he got amnesia and was unable to stop his crazed Best Friend from killing humans for 500 years, he then had to kill him, had to abandon a young Diane after erasing himself from her memories and turned himself in for a 1000 years imprisionment for being indirectly responsible for Helbram's actions. Around 200 years later, he meets Diane again, but she is now in love with someone else and without her past memories, she only views King as a friend. Then King is framed for murder and treason of the Kingdom of Liones along the other Sins. King tries to return to the Fairy King's Forest, only to find out his hometown got burned down and his sister was killed in his absence. And that's his backstory; it only gets worse from there. He's forced to kill a resurrected Helbram twice, and then he finds out the Fairy King's forest still exists, but he's not welcome there because he never showed up to protect the forest nor Elaine and now his former friends view him as a traitor. As if that wasn't enough pain for King, Gowther erases Diane's memories just after she remembered her past with King.
529Vitriolic Best Buds: With Ban.
530Walking Shirtless Scene: After his training with Gloxinia, King has gone completely shirtless to give his new wings room to grow.
531We Used to Be Friends: King and Helbram were best friends before Helbram went insane over his hatred of humans. After King has to kill Helbram a second time, Helbram's ghost stays around to watch over him and they amend their friendship.
532What the Hell, Hero?: Has this reaction after Gowther erases Diane's memories of him as a sort of experiment with emotions, just after she had finally remembered her history with King and that she loved him. King smiles and tells Gowther he isn't mad, but rather he had 'just thought too highly of him.' Of course, Gowther isn't exactly himself without his magical heart, and Diane's memories are restored by the original Gowther with a request to forgive his creation, so King doesn't let it gnaw at him forever.
533Willfully Weak:
534First mentioned by Helbram and later by Gowther, King apparently refused to use his full power when he and Helbram first clashed. It apparently involves a promise from their past.
535It's later revealed that he actually intentionally uses a weaker state of his spear Chastiefol rather than its True form. This is due to the huge toll its power has on his body.
536Winged Humanoid: For some reason, King has not grown wings like other fairies. This was actually questioned by Jericho and later Meliodas. Apparently, King is just a late bloomer. He finally starts to grow a pair of wings in Chapter 216.
537Yank the Dog's Chain: After all the crap he went through in the Kingdom Infiltration arc, things seemed to be getting better for him with Diane finally seeming to pay more attention to him and their relationship making some progress, but then this is dismissed with King stating that going to the festival together was only Diane's way to thank him for saving her from Helbram and he's convinced that she still sees him as a friend. Things then get worse for him when he decides to tagalong with Ban to the new Fairy King's forest and finds out he's now a traitor to fairies. He gets a little ray of sunshine when Ban tells him Diane remembers their past, but when he comes back to her, she has forgotten him all over again.
538You Are Too Late: This has been a repeated bane that has plagued King's life. He was too late to prevent the incident that got him convicted in the past, he was too late to save his sister, and he was too late to protect Diane from Dreyfus.
539    Gowther 
540    Merlin 
541    Escanor 
542Main Accompanying Characters
543While the Sins as a group are the titular characters, they are joined alongside others who aren't a part of their order but are nonetheless closely affiliated with them as the main protagonists of the series. They are as well employees of the Boar Hat Bar which the Sins are also a part of from time to time. Although there have been others who have at one point or another traveled and aided the Sins as well, these characters have been the most consistent.

545 Elizabeth 
546
547
548
549https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nanatsuelizabethanime_9516.png
550Elizabeth is the third princess of the kingdom of Liones, the adopted daughter of King Baltra Liones. As a good deal of the overall plot involves her, she is the primary main female protagonist of the series.
551When the Holy Knights of Liones decided to usurp her father and subjugate the rest of Liones, Elizabeth set forth to search for the Seven Deadly Sins in order to recruit them to stop the Holy Knights. Upon recruiting Meliodas, she begins working as a waitress at the Boar Hat bar as she joins him in their journey to find the rest of the Sins and save Liones.
552Adorkable: She got really excited to go on a simple shopping errand, even going as far as calling it a mission.
553All-Loving Heroine: She puts everyone before herself, when her power of healing is revealed it's stated that this trope is the reason she can mass heal, but on the other side it prevents her from being able to heal herself, since if she has even an ounce of power left she'll unconsciously use it on someone else who might be in need. Infact, Meliodas had to tell her he would die if she did, in-order to get her to use her powers on herself.
554Amnesiac God: She was a goddess in her original incarnation before being cursed, but keeps forgetting her previous life each time she has been reincarnated. She however retains her Goddess Clan powers albeit them becoming untapped in each incarnation.
555Amnesiac Lover: She is one via her numerous reincarnations. Every time she dies, she forgets her past life with Meliodas. She however retains her innate feelings for him in each incarnation and keeps falling in love with him again and again. There is though an unfortunate thing accompanying this via the very curse which is the cause of her reincarnations. The moment she remembers her past lives, she'll die in three days.
556Armor-Piercing Slap: Seeing as in his, Meliodas, assault form a regular slap from her wouldn't do anything Elizabeth, instead, powers her hand up with a gigantic ark and smacks the crap out out of him after he tries to stop her from going through with her plan to join the Seven Deadly Sins and stop him from becoming the Demon King. The result is very effective.
557Attention Whore: Elizabeth doesn't seem like it, but she did mention that when she was younger, she used to pull pranks to get attention from her father, going so far as climbing top of a high tree to get his attention.
558Bare Your Midriff: Elizabeth's waitress attire exposes her midriff.
559Barrier Maiden: Elizabeth is really one of the fragments for the Coffin of Eternal Darkness which can revive the Demon Clan.
560Bathing Beauty: On the back cover of volume 7.
561Betty and Veronica: The "Betty" to Diane's "Veronica" for Meliodas' "Archie". Elizabeth is a very sweet and generally calm regular human while Diane is a clingy easily jealous exotic giantess.
562Big Sister Worship: How Elizabeth sees Margaret for her kind and gentle nature.
563Born-Again Immortality: It's turns out that Elizabeth has been cursed by the Supreme Goddess with Eternal Reincarnation. She is cursed to be constantly reborn as a child without any recollection of her past experiences every time she dies.
564Charm Point: The first Fanbook lists her earring as hers.
565The Chick: She's the sweet princess who helps bring the Seven Deadly Sins back together, she's nice, helpful and self-sacrificing and although she isn't very useful in battle, she gives her friends emotional support and has the power to heal people.
566Chronic Hero Syndrome: Elizabeth will do anything to help innocent people, even if it could mean being arrested, beaten, or killed by it.
567Close-Call Haircut: Loses her Peek-a-Bangs after getting cut by an attack from Chandler. While it did injure her face, Elizabeth healed herself with magic.
568Curse: The source of her numerous reincarnations is that she's been cursed by the Supreme Goddess, her mother. For the "sin" of falling in love with Meliodas and saving the enemy, Elizabeth was cursed with Eternal Reincarnation. The curse is that she constantly reincarnates into a human to live and die a short lifespan, each time being reborn with no recollection of her past life. She'll however inevitably meet and fall in love with Meliodas again. Spending time with him will eventually lead to her regaining her Goddess powers of healing as represented by her right eye transforming to have the symbol of the Goddess Clan. If by some chance she told about her and Meliodas' past together though, it triggers her Past-Life Memories coming back to her in fragments which is represented by the symbol appearing in her left eye as well. Three days after this however, she'll die in a tragic manner before Meliodas' very eyes and no matter what happens or how much he tries to protect her, she'll unavoidably die one way or another. The whole tragedy then repeats again with her next reincarnation. Over the past 3,000 years, there have therefore been 107 Elizabeths and 106 times that Elizabeth has died before Meliodas.
569The Cutie: She's extremely sweet, kind and innocent, always putting others before herself and wanting to help.
570Damsel in Distress: There have been a number of times wherein Elizabeth needed outright rescuing but she makes up for them with her heart. Later on, she becomes a more proactive.
571Damsel out of Distress: Although she can be classified as a typical Damsel in Distress at the start of the series, Elizabeth later on becomes more proactive and puts up more of a fight during tight situations especially after she regains her Past-Life Memories of being a Goddess.
572Determinator: When a kid was caught in a storm of killer bugs, Elizabeth did everything she could to save that boy, even if it cost her life.
573Dope Slap: Gives one to Meliodas after he tells her that she can hit him if she was angry and if it will make her feel better.. Because he thought that would be enough to stop her from leaving she calls him an idiot, gives him the mother of all slaps and escapes.
574Druid: Upon displaying her healing abilities, it's taken that she's one of the druids and her abilities are druidic in origin as healing magic is a druid specialty. It's however subverted later on as it's revealed that she's actually the reincarnation of a Goddess hence explaining the source of her healing powers. Considering that the druids' own healing magic is in reality derived from that of the Goddess Clan for whom they worship, the assumption about Elizabeth is understandable.
575Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: Elizabeth gains one after Arthur offers Meliodas the rank of Great Holy Knight in Camelot which Meliodas accepted and made Elizabeth believe that he is going to leave her.
576Exotic Eye Designs: The pupil of her right eye is the reoccurring triskelion-like Arc Symbol.
577Fashionable Asymmetry: She wears one stocking and different colored shoes in her waitress uniform.
578Foreshadowing:
579Elizabeth's healing powers have been lightly foreshadowed in early arcs wherein characters miraculously got better.
580A bit of who Elizabeth really is foreshadowed when she states that her feelings towards Meliodas felt nostalgic.
581Elizabeth's "original" incarnation of being a goddess was heavily foreshadowed in several moments prior to the reveal. These include: People continually referring to Elizabeth as being one of the Apostles of the Goddesses. Her healing powers were presented and stated to being more powerful than that of an average Druids'. Elizabeth has the same type of Magical Eye that Nerobasta gave to Denzel when the busty goddess possessed Denzel, and the same type of demon incinerating holy attacks that the busty goddess had. Meliodas offhandedly mentioned an incident wherein Elizabeth dealt with an entire army of demons, something that didn't happened with Elizabeth's present incarnation or her previous incarnation as Liz. Upon Meliodas meeting his father in purgatory, the Demon King mentioned it was thanks to a certain woman 3,000 years that Meliodas changed. Derriere recognized Elizabeth and realized her suspicions were right when Elizabeth used holy attacks against her. A sidestory in Volume 23 of the manga revealed that fellow Apostles Jenna and Zaneli are actually Goddesses.
582Forgotten First Meeting:
583She's actually met Meliodas and the rest of the Sins years ago when she was still very young. However due to what happened during the incident that got the Sins framed, she forgot about them.
584Elizabeth also forgot that she had already met Meliodas and was his lover in her previous incarnations starting with her original incarnation as a goddess. Although she has forgotten the interactions she has had with Meliodas during each of her previous incarnations, she still retains her feelings of love for him. Thus she has instinctively fallen in love with Meliodas again and again over the course of her reincarnations.
585Fragile Flower: Many people call her that due to her appearance, even Griamor, but deep down, she is a strong person at heart.
586Full Circle: Develops from being incapable of buying groceries to running the whole bar in Meliodas' absence.
587God in Human Form: Her true identity is that of a goddess who has been repeatedly reincarnating as a human due to being cursed 3,000 years ago.
588Going Commando: Happened to her twice.
589First, when her panties were stolen by Meliodas. This proves useful in identifying her when she is surrounded by a group of monsters that took her appearance. None of them knew she was without underwear and she couldn't bring herself to jump when asked by Meliodas as she could flash him.
590Second, when she was given her sister Veronica's clothes after recovering from being shrunken.
591Graceful Ladies Like Purple: In the manga, the shirt of her waitress uniform is predominately purple. In the anime, her shirt has a slightly pinker shade of purple.
592Green-Eyed Monster: She feels somewhat jealous of Meliodas' former lover Liz. Since Elizabeth is actually Liz's reincarnation, Elizabeth is in a sense jealous of herself.
593Grew a Spine: Elizabeth certainly has become more assertive after recovering her Past-Life Memories. She doesn't hesitate to defy Meliodas when he declares he will become the Demon King and even attacks him with magic to make her point.
594Happily Adopted: Elizabeth is actually not the daughter of King Baltra Liones yet she's been happily adopted by the royal family as evidenced in an apparent This example contains a YMMV entry. It should be moved to the YMMV tab.Crowning Moment of Heartwarming wherein Baltra desperately tried to get her down from a tree despite not knowing how to climb.
595Healing Hands: Although she herself wasn't aware of it initially, Elizabeth has the ability to heal others of serious and fatal injuries.
596The Heart: Diane points out that Elizabeth was able to move both her and Meliodas. She was able to convince King to help the Sins and Meliodas to use his former lover sword.
597He Is Not My Boyfriend: Diane thought she was dating Meliodas when they first met. Elizabeth denied it, but later fell in love with Meliodas anyway.
598Herald: She is the one who sets off the initial quest to reunite the Seven Deadly Sins to save her kingdom at the beginning of the series.
599Heroic Self-Deprecation: Elizabeth tends to see herself as The Load since she can't fight alongside the Sins.
600Holy Burns Evil: Her powers are able to destroy Derrierie's hand to the bones.
601Holy Hand Grenade: In an encounter with two of the Ten Commandments, she displays that she's capable of using Ark, the same technique used by a goddess prior to the Commandments confronting Elizabeth. Unlike the goddess' Ark which Derriere was able to break free out from, Elizabeth's was able to burn Derriere's hand to the bones. She later acquires other abilities of this type.
602I Am Who?: For some reason, Derrierie of the Ten Commandments seems to know Elizabeth when the two encountered each other. In particular, Derrierie seemed to have a deep hatred against Elizabeth especially after Elizabeth used a Goddess Clan specific technique. Later, it's revealed that Elizabeth is not only the reincarnation of a goddess but also met Derrierie in the ancient war. Specifically, the two met when Elizabeth tried to negotiate peace with Derrierie and the horde of demons accompanying her. Said negotiations failed when the demon hostages the Goddess Clan was holding as bait were killed. Among the slain hostages was Derrierie's big sister.
603Identical Stranger: Elizabeth looks almost exactly like Meliodas' dead lover Liz, except for her hairstyle and hair color. Justified as she is the latter's reincarnation. She also looks identical to her original incarnation as a Goddess, minus the wings, of course.
604Innocent Blue Eyes: The eye that isn't covered by her Peek-a-Bangs is blue and highlights her nature.
605Insecure Love Interest: Elizabeth comes to terms that she's in love with Meliodas however she's hesitant to express her true feelings as she feels that she's maybe just a Replacement Love Interest for his dead former lover and she fears he only thinks of her as The Load.
606Interspecies Romance: Elizabeth is a human who ends up falling in love with Meliodas who is a demon. Later, it's revealed that Elizabeth is actually a reincarnation of a goddess who has been in love with Meliodas across her multiple reincarnations since 3,000 years ago.
607It's All My Fault: When Dr. Dana was stabbed by Golgius, Elizabeth blamed herself that neither the doctor nor Meliodas would have been injured by the Holy Knights if she didn't set off on her quest. Fortunately, Meliodas calms her down and the doctor got better because of her healing powers.
608Jeanne d'Archétype: Inverted. She's neither strong or a gung-ho heroine who takes charge of the battlefront. She and her family were betrayed by their kingdom's protectors and she was to be sacrificed for an evil ritual that would bring about Armageddon. Her sweetness, her unwavering courage, and her steadfast dedication to others seems to bring in even the more raunchy individuals to her side—case in point, The Seven Deadly Sins; though they're not typical bad guys in the sense they're each largely dedicated more to themselves and their own sense of right and wrong.
609King Incognito: In order to seek out the Sins without drawing too much attention, Elizabeth disguised herself for this endeavor. At the start of the series, she disguised herself in a full set of armor. After meeting with Meliodas, she took on the guise of a bar waitress.
610Lady and Knight: The lady to Meliodas' knight.
611Lethal Chef: She is on par with Meliodas in this area.
612Hawk: [As a man sips soup and immediately retches it out] Elizabeth, in a completely different way than Meliodas, is the owner of the rare talent of making absolutely awful food!! On the level of confusing sugar and salt.
613Light 'em Up: Her abilities which she gains later on are light-based of the divine variety.
614Living Emotional Crutch: Meliodas claims that if Elizabeth dies, he will have no reason to live anymore.
615Lord Country: She shares her surname with the name of the kingdom her family rules over.
616Love Epiphany: Initially not understanding her feelings towards Meliodas, she comes to the realization she does love him after a heart to heart talk with Diane. She doesn't quite fully understand the reason though but she does state that it feels somewhat nostalgic for some reason.
617Luminescent Blush: Shows this whenever Meliodas does something perverted towards her. Originally, she did this mostly out of embarrassment only towards said perverted acts. However, she seems to be developing feelings for Meliodas and thus showed this also when Meliodas said some caring words to her.
618Magical Eye: Her right eye seems to be connected to her powers. It's also proof of her true origins as a Goddess since Nerobasta another Goddess give them to Denzel when the Goddess possessed him.
619Mayfly–December Romance: She is a 16 year old mortal girl and loves Meliodas, who despite his looks is actually a thousands of years old. In reality, it's an Eternal Love Reincarnation Romance that's lasted over 3,000 years starting with Elizabeth's original incarnation as a Goddess.
620Missing Mom: Elizabeth's adopted mother, the wife of King Baltra, died a long time ago and thus Elizabeth didn't get to know her. Her true mom who bore her original incarnation happens to be the Supreme Goddess, who she's much better off not knowing about considering what she did to her child...
621Ms. Fanservice: Elizabeth tends to be main subject of this most of time to a point. Her main outfit is in a short skit and a Bare Your Midriff outfit.
622Mystical White Hair: She has white hair and has a higher mystical connection to the plot.
623My Skull Runneth Over: During an encounter with Zeldris, Elizabeth learns that she has been in an Reincarnation Romance with Meliodas for the past 3,000 years. She then later finally starts remembering her Past-Life Memories, every single one of them from all of her reincarnations that she has had over the course of 3,000 years. The flood of memories thus overwhelms her so much that she becomes unable to distinguish what moment in time she's actually in. This is exemplified when she all of sudden decides that she needs to tell Meliodas that their fellow Holy Knight Cain Barzad had just been bitten by a werefox, something that clearly must've happened in her incarnation as Liz. This whole confusion is the least of Elizabeth's problems as she then faints and it's revealed that with her memories restored, she will die in 3 days.
624Naked People Are Funny: When she was shrunk down and rendered naked.
625Nice Girl: She is rather polite and genuinely nice to most people.
626Nubile Savage: In her second incarnation, Elizabeth was reborn as a member of a primitive barbarian tribe. As part of this, she had an attractive savage appearance.
627One Steve Limit: Averted since she shares the same given name as Meliodas' former lover. In reality, it's because she's actually the reincarnation of the former... and the original.
628One True Love: To Meliodas. No matter how many times Elizabeth dies and reincarnates into a different person with no memories of him, Meliodas just can't stop loving her and has been by the side of every of her incarnations for the past 3,000 years.
629Panty Shot: At times due to her waitress uniform.
630Peek-a-Bangs: Elizabeth's hair covers her right eye. It's to hide her rune-like pupil. Once she regains her Past-Life Memories, she stops hiding her eye, giving her a look closer to her original incarnation.
631Personality Blood Types: According to the first Fanbook, the sweet Elizabeth is Type O.

635Recruiting the Criminal: At the start of the series, Elizabeth's mission is to reunite the Seven Deadly Sins who are regarded as criminals to help save her kingdom from the Holy Knights.
636Reincarnation: She's in reality the 107th reincarnation of the original Goddess Elizabeth, who was Meliodas' past lover and was cursed for falling in love with a demon.
637Reincarnation Romance: She has been in love with Meliodas in each and every one of her past lives for over 3,000 years.
638Religious and Mythological Theme Naming:
639She and her Identical Stranger are named after Queen Elizabeth who is the wife of King Meliodas from the Arthurian myths.
640One of the techniques she later uses after regaining her memories of her past life as a Goddess is called Passion of Jonah which summons a large basking shark made out of light to swallow a target. This is named after the biblical Jonah who was swallowed by a "giant fish" as written in the original Hebrew text.
641Reluctant Fanservice Girl: She frequently winds up in fanservice-y costumes against her will but doesn't seem to fully mind.
642Replacement Goldfish: Meliodas is asked pointblank at one point if he's projecting Liz onto her. He doesn't answer. Elizabeth later begins to develop a complex over this, since she thinks Meliodas only sees her as a replacement for Liz. It later turns that Meliodas isn't projecting Liz onto Elizabeth as she is Liz's reincarnation.
643The Reveal:

649Sheltered Aristocrat: She was raised in a sheltered environment to such a degree that she has never seen a silver coin before, let alone grasped the basic concept of money.
650Sherlock Scan: Played with, surprisingly perceptive having already discerned the source of a holy knight's power beforehand to dispel his hold over the sins.

662Undying Loyalty: Despite her sister telling her that Meliodas is a monster, Elizabeth still believes in Meliodas even if the world turn against him or Meliodas doesn't care about her.
663Unwitting Instigator of Doom: She accidentally makes Mael realize that his memories are fake, which although technically good for him, causes a massive Villainous B.S.O.D..
664Uptown Girl: She is a princess who is in love with Meliodas, a knight/criminal.
665White Magic: The abilities she discovers she has later on revolve around healing and light as well as being divine in origin.
666White Magician Girl: Upon discovering she has healing powers, Elizabeth decides to become this in order to aid the Sins. She essentially becomes a White Mage and one of the more prominent roles she assumes is healing others from otherwise fatal wounds.
667World-Healing Wave: When she's revealed to have healing powers, Elizabeth sends out a massive blinding wave of light that not only heals the wounds of everyone in the capitol, but also damages Hendrickson slightly.

676Hawk is a talking pig and Meliodas's companion. He is introduced as the cleaner of the Boar Hat bar who helps clean the disgusting food scraps.
677Accent Adaptation: In the Mexican Spanish dub, Hawk speaks with a notable Mexico City accent, possibly to accentuate he is a pig.
678Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: He initially just wears an ear tag. When that gets lost, he gains a magic earring from Merlin called Balor's Power Eye. Said earring is in shape of the reoccurring triskelion-like Arc Symbol.
679Affectionate Nickname: When first introduced to Ban, Hawk requested that he refer to him as "Master". Ban has since affectionately called Hawk that when on good terms despite not actually seeing Hawk as an actual superior.
680Anthropomorphic Animal: Can sometimes be seen as this, when standing on his stubby hind legs in intro and during Q&A pages.
681Big Eater: According to a Q&A from the first Fanbook, he and Diane eat the most. Expected for him as he's a Gluttonous Pig.
682Boisterous Weakling: He's extremely boisterous despite being laughably weak.
683Butt-Monkey: Hawk is often at times the butt of many jokes.
684Cannibalism Superpower: It turns out that Hawk has this as his magic. Dubbed "Transpork" by Merlin, Hawk is capable of assimilating into his own body the quirks, physical characteristics, and abilities of living creatures he eats as long they possess even just the slightest amount of magic power. What he can eat ranges from Sandcrawlers about his size to large Tyrant Dragons. This magic however has its limits mainly in Required Secondary Powers being needed. Best exemplified when he first used this power after eating his way out of the stomach of a Tyrant Dragon, Hawk gained the dragon's scales and horns as well as the dragon's ability to breathe fire and fly. However due to not being exactly fireproof and his Ear Wings being too small for his fat frame, the abilities he gained were comically rendered moot. Lastly, Hawk retains whatever features or abilities he absorbs until he poops.
685Chekhov's Gunman: Wandle the parrot that Hawk reminds Meliodas of, appears on the cover of Chapter 39 alongside Meliodas and Liz.
686Chest Burster: Whilst training in the Druids' cave with Oslow, he gets eaten by a Tyrant Dragon. He escapes by eating through the dragon's stomach.
687Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Hawk's often the one to restrain Meliodas' perverted antics towards Elizabeth. One such example of this is Hawk tying Meliodas up so that he won't try anything funny while sharing his bed with Elizabeth.
688Comically Missing the Point: Merlin told him his power level according to Balor's Power Eye is 3000... if you multiply it by a hundred, which means his power level is only 30. Still he insists that his power level is 3000 even when he's told outright the truth by Gowther.
689Cowardly Lion: A pig version of this trope. Hawk tends to be cowardly but when Elizabeth wants to help people, he will come along.
690Disney Death: He protects Meliodas and Elizabeth from Hendrickson and was thought to have died in doing so that not even Elizabeth's healing powers could revive him. It's revealed much later however that he's alright, though he became much smaller.
691Eat the Dog: Being a pig, it's a Running Gag that he's often seen as food supplies much to his dismay.
692Elephant in the Living Room: The fact that Hawk is a talking pig is often met with varying responses. Some like Ban are genuinely surprised by this, some like Gowther are Fantastically Indifferent to it, while most just don't seem to care for the matter at all. Him coming back to life and later apparently powering up with very noticeable dragon features are met with just the same.
693Fan Disservice:
694Being a pig, he's directly responsible for many of the story's gross-outs, with special mention going to the fact that his transformations always end with him taking a crap and expelling the contents that sparked the change from his system.
695He once asked Merlin to transform him into the form of a human in a side story. He turned into a grotesque, obese, and naked pig-human, complete with a willy (non-corkscrew).
696Fun Size: Somehow shrunk into a smaller cuter piglet-like form after his apparent Disney Death caused by Hendrickson. Doesn't last long though as he later regains his original size after gorging himself on a number of meals.
697Gigantic Adults, Tiny Babies: Hawk is the size of an average pig. His mom on the other hand is big enough to carry an entire bar.
698Gluttonous Pig: Hawk is often seen eating any leftovers that may have fallen one way or another. He particularly prides himself on this fact.
699Head Pet: After he gets shrunken as a result of his Disney Death, he starts going around on the top of people's heads.
700I Can Still Fight!: Hawk tries his hardest to protect Elizabeth from the Holy Knights in Vaizel despite being injured after Meliodas is sealed in a jewel.
701Iron Butt Monkey: Despite being just a talking pig with no noteworthy combat skills, he has survived attacks that would otherwise kill an animal like him.
702Loyal Animal Companion: He is an extremely loyal pig who tends to go up against opponents much more powerful than him to protect his friends.
703Made of Iron: He receives the fifty-third blow in Derriere's combo star strike, with each blow adding up to two hundred thousand pounds of force per consecutive hit. This means the strike against him is possibly 10,600,000 pounds of force or more and still walks away from it. This is justified because he is actually a member of a species of talking pigs native to the Demon realm of Purgatory. Purgatory is a Death World which is inimical to just about all life. Any species that could survive in this environment would have to be insanely tough. This is also why Hawk was able to recover from Hendrickson's Dead End. Demonic attacks don't affect him as much because he's a native of the Demon realm.
704Mascot: Hawk is the series' mascot. Meliodas though humorously said that King was the Sins' mascot much to Hawk's annoyance.
705Non-Indicative Name: Hawk is a pig with a name that normally refers to a type of bird of prey. Meliodas actually points this out when they first met.
706Odd Friendship: With Ban. Since he and Ban first met, Ban refers to him as "Master" and always treats the pig with respect.
707Past-Life Memories: When he first met Meliodas and questioned about his name, Hawk mentions that he does feel like he once flew the skies a long, long time ago. He figures this is probably memories from a past life or something and that he probably must have been some sort of invincible dragon.
708Potty Emergency: Had a ridiculous one that was so huge that he refused to let an iron door stand in his way.
709Power Level:
710According to Merlin, Hawk's power level when multiplied by 100 is 3000. Though this delights him to no end, his power level in reality is just 30 as Merlin didn't have the heart to tell him the truth. It doesn't stop him from deluding himself even when told outright the truth by Gowther. On a related note, his individual stats are Power: 0, Strength: 25 and Spirit 5.
711With his Transpork ability, Hawk is capable of not only attaining the abilities and physical attributes of what he eats but also able of raising his power level as detailed in an extra page of Volume 24. The power levels of the forms he assumed up to that point in the series are as follows: 
712His Tyrant Dragon form had a power level of 610 with its individual stats being Power: 80, Strength: 520, and Spirit: 10. 
713His Sand Crawler form had a power level of 190 with its individual stats being Power: 80, Strength: 100, and Spirit: 10. 
714His Red Demon form had a power level of 1030 with its individual stats being Power: 450, Strength: 480, and Spirit: 100.
715Punny Name: Made more apparent in the dub, but it's a pun on "ham hock."
716Reincarnation: It's implied that Hawk's probably a reincarnation of Meliodas' parrot Wandle.
717Rolling Attack: ROLLING HAM ATTACK.
718Shout-Out: Wandle, the implied past life of Hawk, is apparently based from La Chevalier du Papegau wherein King Arthur had a talking parrot companion.
719Small Name, Big Ego: Hawk likes to exaggerate that he is actually extremely powerful but in reality, he doesn't really compare to actual badasses in the manga. It hoesn't stop his enthusiasm, though.
720Spell My Name with an "S": In the early fan scanlations, his name was spelled Hork, but later it was changed when how his name is spelled in English was revealed.
721Stat-O-Vision: After losing his initial ear tag, Hawk is given an accessory called Balor's Power Eye by Merlin as a replacement. Through it, Hawk can see the individual Power Levels of others.
722Taking the Bullet: He protects Meliodas and Elizabeth from Hendrickson's attack at that cost of his life. Or so it initially seemed.
723Talking Animal: He is a talking pig.
724Team Pet: He is the team pet of the Seven Deadly Sins.
725Unexplained Recovery: It's been nearly a hundred chapters since Hawk took Hendrickson's Dead End and thus literally died (Elizabeth's healing magic had no effect on him). Having been shrunk down instead of struck down, there is still no apparent explanation for his surviving it and coming out absolutely fine, not even fridge.
726Eventually, turns out that Hawk originally came from the Demon realm of Purgatory, which has some pretty significant implications for his resilience and recovery abilities.
727You Remind Me of X: When Meliodas first met Hawk, the pig reminded Meliodas of a previous partner he once had a long time ago. Said partner was apparently a parrot named Wandle who didn't like throwing away leftovers. It's implied that Hawk's probably a reincarnation of him.
