The Seven Deadly Sins were a group of former Holy Knights who were disbanded after the kingdom was overthrown. Princess Elizabeth seeks their help to take back her kingdom from the corrupt Holy Knights. The Sins are made up of seven legendary knights, each representing one of the seven deadly sins and possessing a unique ability tied to their sin. They include:

• King (Grizzly’s Sin of Sloth)
• Gowther (Goat’s Sin of Lust)
• Merlin (Boar’s Sin of Gluttony)
• Escanor (Lion’s Sin of Pride)

The anime series begins with Princess Elizabeth enlisting the help of Meliodas and Hawk, the leader of the Seven Deadly Sins and the leader of the order of scraps disposal, respectively. Together, they set out to assemble the remaining members of the Sins and clear their names. As they travel across Britannia, they face off against the Holy Knights and other dangerous enemies like the Ten Commandments.

The Seven Deadly Sins anime series offers a rich storyline with complex characters, epic battles, and surprising plot twists. It spans multiple seasons, movies, and OVAs (Original Video Animations), with Netflix streaming most of the content. The correct watch order is essential to fully appreciate the complex plot and character development. While the release order and chronological order have their pros and cons, the recommended way to watch the series is in the order it was intended by the creators.

The series follows Princess Elizabeth Liones and her quest to find the Seven Deadly Sins

The anime series *The Seven Deadly Sins* is based on a manga series of the same name by Nakaba Suzuki. The show follows Princess Elizabeth Liones, the deuteragonist of the series, and her quest to find the Seven Deadly Sins—a group of former Holy Knights who were disbanded after the Kingdom of Liones was overthrown.

Elizabeth is the third princess of the Kingdom of Liones and the 107th incarnation of Goddess Elizabeth. She is the wife of Meliodas, the leader of the Seven Deadly Sins, and the interim captain of the group. Elizabeth is a Goddess/Human Hybrid with immense powers based on light. She is polite, grateful, and caring, and prefers a diplomatic approach, even during war. She is also brave, courageous, and selfless, as demonstrated when she recklessly tried to rescue a child from Storm Rondo. Elizabeth initially had low self-esteem and often felt insecure about being powerless, but she later becomes more determined to become stronger and unlock her hidden powers. She is also not very graceful, often comically falling down during her duties as a waitress.

After the Holy Knights rebel and take over the kingdom, Elizabeth escapes from the castle and sets out on a journey to find the Seven Deadly Sins, who she believes are the only ones who can match the Holy Knights' strength. She is accompanied by Meliodas and Hawk, the leader of the order of scraps disposal, on her quest. Along the way, she works as a waitress at Meliodas' tavern, Boar Hat, and later becomes a prominent ally of the Seven Deadly Sins, participating in their battles against the Ten Commandments and the Demon Clan in the New Holy War.

Elizabeth is one of many reincarnations of the Goddess Elizabeth, having been reincarnated 107 times since the Holy War. She was born in the Kingdom of Danafor, seconds after Meliodas obliterated it. She was born right after Liz, Meliodas's former lover, died in her defeat against Fraudrin. Due to a curse cast on her and Meliodas by the Supreme Deity and the Demon King, Elizabeth loses her memory of her past lives with every reincarnation, but upon regaining her memories, she dies within three days, always in front of Meliodas. Despite the curse, Elizabeth remains determined to help Meliodas and stop him from becoming the Demon King, even if it means falling victim to her own curse.

The Seven Deadly Sins are a group of former knights who were disbanded and wrongly accused of treason

The group was formed by Meliodas, who is the captain of the Seven Deadly Sins, and six other brutal criminals from various races. Each member of the group had the highest Holy Knight ranking of Diamond. They were branded as traitors to Britannia and accused of abetting the assassination of the Great Holy Knight Zaratras. However, the Deadly Sins were eventually absolved of their crimes after they liberated Liones from the rule of the Holy Knights.

Each member of the Seven Deadly Sins has a unique power, and they are known for their exceptional qualities. The group consists of Meliodas, Ban, King, Gowther, Merlin, Diane, and Escanor. They were all powerful individuals who resided in the Kingdom of Britannia.

The Seven Deadly Sins gained a lot of experience over time, which made them even stronger. They played a crucial role in the story as the titular heroes, and their backstories were disclosed in the anime.
