Nanatsu no Taizai: Seven Deadly Sins

The Seven Deadly Sins「Nanatsu no Taizai」were the strongest and cruelest order of Holy Knights in the kingdom of Liones which was formed by seven brutal criminals, who had all been convicted for grievous crimes and had carved the symbols of seven beasts onto their bodies. After having been framed for murdering the Great Holy Knight, they were disbanded, and branded as traitors and villains. They are the main protagonists of the series.

Background

This group, which was originally an independent order of knights serving the kingdom of Liones, are declared as traitors and villains due to being framed for assassinating Zaratras, the Great Holy Knight after heeding the order to meet with him at the castle and were hunted down by the kingdom's Holy Knights surrounding the castle but managed to fight their way out and escaped. It is suspected that Merlin could be a traitor who helped plot the trickery, as she was the one who knocked Meliodas unconscious - however, she did ask for forgiveness. In addition, one of the Seven Deadly Sins' feats include defeating the troll queen, them having also broken the Great Druid Altar as they did so.

The Seven Deadly Sins' reputation before the betrayal was widely known to be the strongest knights of Liones and were looked up to become one of them by some people notably: Little Gil and Doting Dale. The group was directly under Great Holy Knight Zaratras' command as their superior.

Ten years later, the Seven Deadly Sins soon reappeared in the kingdom, having regathered six of its members with one remaining still missing. They currently aid Elizabeth, the third princess of Liones to liberate the kingdom from the oppressive rule of the Holy Knights and stop Hendrickson's plan to release the long-sealed Demon Clan into the world.

After defeating Hendrickson and averting the plot to revive the Demon Clan with the help of the Holy Knights who realized the error of their ways, the Seven Deadly Sins were praised as heroes for saving the kingdom cleared of their framed crimes and were welcomed back into the kingdom of Liones once more.
