After being serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine for about seven and a half years, "The Seven Deadly Sins" finally came to a spectacular conclusion in March 2020! It is a hugely popular classic fantasy series that depicts the adventures of the strongest and most terrible order of knights, "The Seven Deadly Sins," and has a theme of love. The broadcast of the fourth season of the anime, "The Seven Deadly Sins: Dragon's Judgement," has also been confirmed, so before the fourth season begins, we will look back on the key points of the plot of the third season, "The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods"!
First, let's briefly review the first three seasons, "The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods"!
The members of the Seven Deadly Sins thought they had prevented the "revival of the Demon Clan" planned by Dreyfus and Hendrickson, the two great Holy Knights of the Kingdom of Liones, but in fact the two are still alive and allow the revival of the Demon King's elite unit, the Ten Commandments, and the Demon Clan. The Ten Commandments, which consume human souls, quickly take control of Liones and the damage spreads all over the place. The members of the Seven Deadly Sins also move to stop the damage, but their leader, Meliodas, is killed by Estarossa, one of the Ten Commandments... Meliodas is brought back to life by the "Eternal Life" curse placed on him by the Demon King, but the Demon King has taken away his "emotions" and he is a little different from before.
King and Diane travel to the world of 3000 years ago!?
King and Diane are put to the test by the Ten Commandments Gloxinia and Drole. Diane experienced the "Holy War" 3000 years ago as Drole, and King as Gloxinia. At that time, they met "Elizabeth of the Goddess Clan," who looked just like Meliodas and Elizabeth at the time, as well as Gowther and his creator Gowther (the real thing). They learned that Gowther (the real thing) was involved in the end of the "Holy War." King and Diane successfully overcame the trials, and their fighting power increased, with King growing small wings! With Gowther's (the real thing) power, Diane also remembered the time she spent with King about 700 years ago and her feelings for him.
Elizabeth is the "Cursed Goddess"?
After hearing from Diane about Elizabeth, a Goddess from 3,000 years ago, Elizabeth is told that she has interfered with Zeldris's magic and "has been reincarnated many times and met Meliodas." However, immediately after that, the "Goddess Clan's mark" appears in both of Elizabeth's eyes and she faints... Meliodas, who saw this, says, "If Elizabeth regains her memories, she will die in three days," and tells the Seven Deadly Sins members that they were cursed by the sins they committed during the Holy War. Meliodas was cursed to never age and to revive even if he died, while Elizabeth was cursed to repeat short lives as a human, and no matter how many times she is reincarnated, she will fall in love with Meliodas and die in front of him... Furthermore, if Elizabeth were to regain her memories of her past life, she would die in three days, no matter how many people protect her.
The surprising action Meliodas took to break the curse!
After dying once and losing his emotions, Meliodas goes into a demonic state called "Extermination Mode" in order to break the "Cocoon of Darkness" of Melascula of the Ten Commandments, and loses even his love for Elizabeth. Escanor manages to knock Meliodas unconscious with his "I Am the Only One in Heaven," but as soon as he wakes up, he tells him that "The Seven Deadly Sins are disbanded today," and takes Elizabeth to Camelot Castle where Zeldris and the others are... Meliodas was trying to collect the commandments of the Ten Commandments, become the Demon King, and lift Elizabeth's curse. However, when Elizabeth found out, she argued that they would no longer be able to be together if he became the Demon King, and left Meliodas.
Ban goes to Purgatory to search for Meliodas' "emotions"!
After seeing Meliodas return to his cold-hearted demonic form, the members of the Seven Deadly Sins wondered if there was a way to return him to his original self. As a result, Ban went to search for the emotions of Meliodas, who had been taken by the Demon King and imprisoned in Purgatory! However, Purgatory is a place where "scorching heat and freezing cold air mix together and poisonous land spreads"... Even if Ban has an immortal body, it is doubtful whether he can endure the place. Nevertheless, Ban asks to be allowed to save Meliodas and departs from Hawk's Eye, which is connected to Purgatory.
Elizabeth and the Seven Deadly Sins ally with the Stigmata of Light?
After returning to the members of the Seven Deadly Sins, Elizabeth shared Meliodas' plan with them and said, "I want to stop him at all costs." Elizabeth and the others then return to Liones Castle to save the people of Liones and share the situation with the King, where they encounter the Four Archangel Stigmata of Light, Ludociel, who has taken over Margaret's body. The Stigmata of Light, who want to annihilate the Demon Clan, and the Seven Deadly Sins, who want to prevent Meliodas from becoming the Demon King, form an alliance and decide to invade Camelot, which is occupied by the Demon Clan.
But Elizabeth is kidnapped by Estarossa...
For the first time in 3000 years, the Holy War between the
