Top 10 Seven Deadly Sins Fights (ft. Brianna Knickerbocker)

Despite putting a stop to Hendrickson’s insidious plans and saving all of Liones, there were still a few issues that needed sorting out; namely Ban’s desire to bring back his beloved Elaine. Aww! Unfortunately, for that to happen, he would have to kill his best friend, at least according to the giant magical horn that told him to. Weird set up aside, this rematch was still brutally entertaining, with Meliodas helping Ban get over his grief via a bloody exchange inside of a magical cube. Not sure how getting your body splattered around helps with lost love, but hey, whatever works!

We had been given hints as to the truth regarding Meliodas’ demonic side here and there, but this was where we got a front row seat to its grand reveal. After freeing himself from the Goddess Amber, the Captain of the Sins lets his inner darkness out the bag, turning into an emotionless engine of destruction, one that managed to put this veteran Holy Knight through his paces. With his new magical ligaments tearing apart everything in sight, it’s clear that without his magical defence, Helbram would have been torn to pieces in seconds.

You have to give this girl credit, she takes her job so seriously she was willing to put her life on the line just for the chance to track down her prey. After entering the Necropolis and reuniting with a certain lovable fairy, the Sins find themselves hunted down by the Holy Knight’s resident explosives expert. While the force of Guilla’s magic manages to get the better of Ban, Diane and even Meliodas, she’s unprepared for King’s return to the fold, armed with the full power of his Sacred Treasure. Needless to say, Guilla doesn’t last long. See what happens when you listen to your sister, King?

Jeez, death is a like a revolving door in this series, isn’t it? After reuniting with his former student, the recently revived Holy Knight Grandmaster seeks to put a stop to the demon controlling his brother. The three soon end up engaging in a swift yet emotionally poignant battle, wherein Zaratras uses all the Druid magic available to him in order to free his brother from his internal imprisonment, sacrificing himself in the process. Seeing Fraudrin finally get his comeuppance as well as the shared redemption between Dreyfus and Hendrickson really makes this little scuffle hold more weight.

Once a devoted pupil of the Dragon Sin of Wrath, Gil was portrayed for much of the series as a cold and relentless Holy Knight obsessed with slaying his hero purely to prove his own strength. This all comes to a head when the Sins invade the Kingdom of Liones in order to rescue Elizabeth, with Meliodas’ superior strength being tested against Gil’s mastery of lightning magic. It’s a blinding action-fest that shows just powerful our favourite Holy Knight has become – good thing it was all a ruse in order for Meliodas to free both Gil and Princess Margaret from a deadly curse.

The one that brought the out a whole heap of emotion. After Helbram reveals himself to not only be a member of the Fairy race, but also King’s former bestie, the stage is set of a bitter reunion as the psychotic pixie goes on a rampage, nearly killing Diane in the process. Friend or not, that noise doesn’t fly with Harlequin. Despite the heartbreak of having to put his friend down for a second time, the Grizzly Sin of Sloth does what he has to, finally freeing Helbram from his tormented existence.

When two Sins throw down, it’s certainly a sight to see, with this little showdown being the wildest of examples. No surprise it involves the Captain and everyone’s favourite thief. As the fighting festival gets underway, Meliodas and Ban find themselves engaging in a friendly yet oh so brutal bout. While Ban certainly manages to get some good hits in, his greed just can’t compete with Meliodas’ untapped power, which results in him being sent flying into a mountain. Don’t worry Ban! Next time I’ll be there to cheer you on!

Family disputes are always ugly affairs, though it’s fair to say that the demon clan take things to new extremes. After recovering the full extent of his power, the Captain of the Sins takes on his own comrades in a battle royal of epic proportions. While he does manage to overcome a couple of the lesser Commandments like Drole and Gloxinia, Meliodas soon finds himself overwhelmed when the others arrive to join the party. He may have put up one hell of a fight, but not even his immense strength is enough to stop Estarossa from piercing each of his of demonic hearts…

Now this is it what you call a clash of titans. The Commandment of Love may be unbelievably strong, able to counter all physical attacks and even incapacitate those who feel hatred towards him, but that’s still nothing compared to the sheer manliness of the Lion Sin of Pride. Despite suffering some severe wounds, no amount of punishment is enough to slow down Escanor, whose unwavering belief in his own strength manages to engulf the demon in flame. And that’s no exaggeration as he literally throws a miniature sun into Estarossa’s face!

Every great fantasy needs its climactic battle between good and evil, and for the Seven Deadly Sins, this was it! After absorbing the power of the Gray Demon, Hendrickson achieves a new form that even the Sins struggle to compete against. However, thanks to Elizabeth awakening her innate power of healing, the Sins and the rest of the redeemed Holy Knights are able to gather themselves and launch a final assault. Even with all his new demonic tricks, Hendrickson is no match for everyone’s combined might channelled through Meliodas’ trump card; the Revenge Counter. This fight is so awesome that’s downright sinful.
