Read this article to find out more about Meliodas, the strong and kind, yet unsure of what he's thinking!
Bar owner? Seven Deadly Sins? What kind of person is Meliodas?
Meliodas has many faces among the Seven Deadly Sins. At the beginning of the story, he appears as the owner of the traveling bar, the Pig's Hat. Later, after meeting Elizabeth, he reveals his true identity as "Meliodas, the Dragon Sin of Wrath, one of the Seven Deadly Sins." By the way, he apparently works as a bartender to gather information on the Seven Deadly Sins!
Meliodas' personality is unwavering, no matter the situation!
Meliodas treats everyone equally, regardless of race or age. Because of his personality, he is loved by the members of the Seven Deadly Sins, who are made up of various races. He has a funny side to him, showing excessive physical affection towards Elizabeth, and a side to him that values male friendship with Ban and Gilthunder. He is a strong and affectionate friend. Even when watching the anime, you can really feel how kind Meliodas is.
Why the Sin of Wrath? A look into Meliodas' past!
"Ban also said, 'I've been hanging out with you for years now, but I've never seen you get angry, even once.'" You're probably wondering why Meliodas, who doesn't get angry that much, is called the "Sin of Wrath," right? Let me tell you what that sin is!
Was he so consumed by rage that he destroyed an entire country? What is the Sin of Wrath?
Not actually human? The secret behind Meliodas' strength in The Seven Deadly Sins!
Meliodas' strength is profound and unfathomable, especially when he reaches his peak and the crest appears on his forehead. Parts of his body become bruised, and he uses them to attack. There are also scenes where he transforms into wings and flies.
The true nature of the birthmark is his demon blood!
When the birthmark appears, Meliodas' eyes turn pitch black and he seems unable to move of his own volition. This means he is unable to control his demonic powers. Furthermore, while in demon form, Meliodas loses his innate magical power, "Full Counter."
He remains a young boy no matter how many years pass! The reason why Meliodas never changes.
Meliodas appears as a 152cm tall boy, completely unchanged from 16 years ago. This is likely due to his demonic bloodline, or perhaps the reason why Meliodas has survived for over 3,000 years. The exact reason for this is still unclear, but in the world of The Seven Deadly Sins, where many different races exist, it's probably not unusual for someone's appearance to remain unchanged. King looks like he's 1,300 years old, after all...
He's actually over 3,000 years old! What is the curse placed on Meliodas?
How has Meliodas managed to live for over 3,000 years? The answer lies in the curse placed on him. Meliodas is cursed with "eternal life," meaning he cannot die. As a result, every time he dies, he is sent to "Purgatory," where the emotions he developed before death are taken away and he is resurrected.
What Did Meliodas Do 3,000 Years Ago? Why Was He Cursed?
Meliodas' true identity is the son of the Demon King. 3,000 years ago, during the Holy War that sealed away the Demon Clan, Meliodas fell in love with Elizabeth, a member of the Goddess Clan (Elizabeth's previous life). As a result, Meliodas committed the crime of "alongside the Goddess Clan, despite being a Demon Clan member, and then betraying and killing his own people." He was cursed with "eternal life" by his own father, the Demon King.
