The Seven Deadly Sins is a hugely popular fantasy adventure currently being serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine. In this world, there are five different races: Humans, Demons, Goddesses, Giants, and Fairies! But when you think about it, even though you think you know their characteristics and abilities, are there parts that you don't really understand? In this article, we'll introduce you to these five races in detail. You'll definitely be even more familiar with the world of The Seven Deadly Sins when you finish reading!
Let's start with the most common race, Humans!

The most common race in the world of "The Seven Deadly Sins" is the human race. Among the members of The Seven Deadly Sins, Ban and Escanor are human (probably Merlin too). In addition, all the Holy Knights of Liones are human, so are Gilthunder, Jericho, and Guila. In the world 3000 years ago, Law, who resented the Stigma of Light and tried to take revenge, was also a human.
The most vulnerable beings, humans.

Of the five races, humans are the most vulnerable and have the shortest lifespan. However, humans in this world can sometimes manifest magical powers. This is especially true of the Holy Knights of Liones. However, the strongest of these humans is Escanor, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Sin of Pride! There may be secrets to Escanor's power that have yet to be revealed, but there's no doubt that he is human. Haha. Arthur, the King of Camelot, also has a battle class of 40,000, so he is considered to be quite strong among humans.
Boasting of military strength! The largest giant!

The first race born in Britannia is the Titans. Among the members of the Seven Deadly Sins, Diane is one of them! Others who are Titans include Matrona, whom Diane admires, and Drole, a member of the Ten Commandments and the king of the Titans. Drole in particular is so strong that he is said to be the ancestor of the Titans! Giants are also the largest race, with an average height of around 8-10m. Their lifespan has not been made public, but Diane is 750 years old, which is about 15 years old in human terms, so if we do the math, they would live for around 5000 years. That's a very long lifespan!
Giant people have a strong connection to the earth.

Giant races are a race with high military power, but their true strength is determined by how much of the power of the earth they can convert and use as their own magical power. Giant races are often described as muscle-heads, but that is completely wrong. Doroll used his magic, harnessing the power of the earth, to create the venue for the Vaizel Fighting Festival and the giant maze leading to it. He truly deserves to be called the ancestor of the Titans!
Why did the Titans' population decrease?

The giants are a race with a strong fighting spirit who can only find meaning in life through fighting. They go into battle with the idea that fleeing from a fight is more shameful than dying. Because of this, many giants lost their lives in battle, reducing their numbers. In that environment, Diane, who doesn't like fighting, seems to have been treated as an outsider. Drole said that the giants, whose numbers have dwindled for such reasons, will need someone with a kind heart like Diane in the future.
Matrona, the leader of the giants, also met her husband Zalpa and learned to fight to protect herself and those she cares about, becoming a completely different person from 16 years ago. It seemed like a lie that she had been so strict with Diane, who hated fighting. I'm sure that from now on, the giants will increase in number once again, as a kind-hearted race despite their military might.
Are they all children? A tribe of fairies flying softly!

The polar opposite of the giants, they are a race with low military power and high magical power. They have pointed ears, wings, and are said to remain childlike until they die. Of the members of the Seven Deadly Sins, King is like that! Other members of the fairy tribe include King's sister Elaine, Helbram, and Gloxinia, a member of the Ten Commandments. King and Elaine don't have wings or pointed ears until halfway through the story, so it seems like there are secrets that haven't been revealed yet...
Fairies also have a characteristic that their lifespan changes depending on their magical power. Their average lifespan is 1000-1500 years, but Gerard, the assistant to the fairy king, is said to be 4200 years old! King is also a fairy king, so he will probably live to be about 5000 years old. lol By the way, it seems that each fairy has a floral scent, and King's body odor is sweet osmanthus... it smells nice. lol
Fairies are the ones closest to nature and plants.

The Fairy Forest, located between the fairy world and the human world, is selective about those who enter of their own volition, and it is said that those with evil intentions are not allowed to enter. Also, long ago, when Ban invaded the Fairy Forest to get the Fountain of Life, Elaine called out to him, but the forest stopped him from drinking the Fountain of Life. It's as if the Fairy Forest is alive! That just goes to show how closely connected fairies and the Fairy Forest are. The magic of the fairies often uses the power of plants and the power of nature, such as the wind!
Regeneration of the Fairy Forest.
When Elaine was killed by the Red Demon, the Fairy Forest disappeared. However, just before she died, she entrusted Ban to plant the "last seed of the forest" somewhere. Ban inherited Elaine's will and nurtured the forest. When Albion attacked the Fairy Forest again, King defended it to the death! King, who was deeply regretful of not being able to protect the forest once, will surely protect the Fairy Forest and his friends no matter what happens in the future.
Is he really a bad guy? The sealed demon tribe.

The demon tribe is a race that was sealed away by the Goddess tribe in the Holy War 3,000 years ago. Among the members of The Seven Deadly Sins, Meliodas is that person! The sealed demons were revived by the surviving Fraudrin, using Hendrickson and Dreyfus. The revived Demon King's direct unit, the Ten Commandments, not only possess the "commandments" bestowed upon them by the Demon King, but also magical powers. However, there are still many mysteries surrounding the Demons.
Why did the Demons have to be sealed away?

The demon tribe certainly has many strong magical powers, and I think they are a troublesome race to make enemies of. However, if it's just about strong magical powers, I think there are other races, including the goddess tribe, that exist as well. What is interesting here is that Ludociel, one of the
What kind of race are the Demons, after all?

Since all the demons are from the Demon World, it is believed that they were not originally from Britannia. During the Holy War 3,000 years ago, Melascula was trying to summon something from the gate leading to Heaven, so perhaps the gate leading to Heaven also leads to the Demon World. During the Holy War, the Goddess Clan were taking non-combatants (women and children) from the Demon Clan prisoner, and took the lives of the prisoners right in front of the Demon Clan. This prompted the Demon Clan to start attacking, so I think their desire to protect their allies is just like that of humans.
What kind of race are the Goddess Clan who sealed the Demon Clan away?

3000 years ago, in the Holy War, the Goddess Tribe used up all their power and sacrificed their bodies to seal the Demon Tribe, becoming spirits. They reside in various objects, and those who obtain a "vessel" can act by borrowing their bodies. That's exactly what Ludociel is doing when he borrows Margaret's body!
Also, Elizabeth, the heroine of The Seven Deadly Sins, is a member of the Goddess Tribe! The Goddess Tribe's magic can erase darkness or heal wounds, but their most commonly used ability is the Ark, which is a level above Purge, and purifies unnatural souls. The Purge ability passed down to the druids who worship the Goddess Tribe was also passed down by the Goddess Tribe. It feels as though the Goddess Tribe's power is a skill that can be used to fight against the Demon Tribe...
One of the Goddess Tribe's abilities is terrifying.

In fact, the higher-ranking Goddess Tribe have the ability to brainwash. "Brainwashing" is not peaceful, is it? Just as I was thinking that, Ludociel immediately used it on the Blue Sky Six Stars! The
The supreme deity who unites the Goddess Clan, who are still shrouded in mystery.

The Demon King who leads the Demon Clan appeared when Meliodas went to Purgatory. We also learned through Hawk's eyes that he had been watching Meliodas the whole time. However, there is no information at all about the Supreme God who unites the Goddess Clan. All we know is that she is Elizabeth's mother, and the one who placed the curse on Elizabeth and her friends. The fact that she was angry when Elizabeth saved the Demon Clan suggests that she hates them just as much as Ludociel. Since she wants to eradicate the Demon Clan, something must have happened between the Goddess Clan and the Demon Clan before the 3000-year Holy War.
