Q 01At what time of day does Escanor of The Seven Deadly Sins hit his peak form, 'The One'?
Noon
Noon is when the sun stands highest, and for one minute Escanor outclasses every living thing; by night he is a scrawny tavern keeper. Even the author later admitted he made him 'too strong'.
Q 02In The Seven Deadly Sins, what carries Meliodas's travelling tavern from town to town on its back?
A giant green pig
A giant green pig carries the bar on her back, then burrows underground at each stop so that only the tavern shows. In the pilot chapter it rode a giant mechanical spider instead.
Q 03Meliodas, Ban and Escanor of The Seven Deadly Sins all take their names from legends about which hero?
King Arthur
King Arthur lends the names, though the plot is original: the author had wanted to draw a fantasy on that motif for years, but his editors kept rejecting his early attempts.
Q 04Which streaming service picked up The Seven Deadly Sins in 2015 as only its second exclusive anime?
Netflix
Netflix had taken only Knights of Sidonia before it, and it released all 24 first-season episodes at once, subtitled and dubbed, in November 2015.
Q 05Meliodas, captain of the Seven Deadly Sins, carries the dragon mark of which sin on his shoulder?
Wrath
Wrath seems an odd fit for a cheerful, girl-chasing tavern keeper, but Meliodas only shows it when the people dear to him are hurt or killed.
Q 06Ban of The Seven Deadly Sins became 'Undead Ban' after tasting which treasure of the Fairy King's Forest?
Fountain of Youth
The Fountain of Youth reached him through a kiss from its dying guardian, who gave up the water to save his life as a demon burned the forest around them.
Q 07Which talking animal, Meliodas's constant companion, calls himself captain of the Knighthood of Scraps Disposal?
Hawk
Hawk earns the title by eating the tavern's leftovers, and he scolds Meliodas whenever the captain gets too handsy with Elizabeth.
Q 08In The Seven Deadly Sins, which travelling tavern is Meliodas running when Elizabeth first finds him?
Boar Hat
Boar Hat was not the first name on the sign: in the pilot one-shot, the tavern was called Apple.
Q 09Which member of the Seven Deadly Sins turns out to be a living doll built by a demon wizard?
Gowther
Gowther was made by a wizard of the same name, in the likeness of the wizard's lover, to act as his eyes on the world outside his prison.
Q 10Which animal is branded on Ban of The Seven Deadly Sins as the symbol of his sin of Greed?
Fox
Fox fits a legendary bandit, and each of the seven is branded with a different beast standing for the sin behind their supposed crime.
Q 11What name do Meliodas and Elizabeth give their son, later the hero of a two-part sequel film?
Tristan
Tristan is a fitting choice: in medieval romance, King Meliodas of Lyonesse and his wife Elizabeth are the parents of the knight of that name.
Q 12Which signature technique of Meliodas in The Seven Deadly Sins was taught to him by his demon mentor Chandler?
Full Counter
Full Counter throws a magical attack back at its sender with far greater force, so the stronger the enemy's spell, the harder it lands on them.
Q 13How is Zeldris, acting leader of the Ten Commandments, related to Meliodas of the Seven Deadly Sins?
His younger brother
Q 21In The Seven Deadly Sins, which Sacred Treasure can King reshape from a spear into a pillow or a stuffed bear?
Chastiefol
Chastiefol is carved from a sacred tree found only in the Fairy Realm, which makes it far stronger than steel despite its soft-looking forms.
Q 22In The Seven Deadly Sins, Elizabeth's healing tears are a sign that she truly belongs to which race?
Goddess
Goddess blood explains her powers: she was born a daughter of the Supreme Deity, and her love for the demon Meliodas helped spark the ancient Holy War.
Q 23While Meliodas is cursed never to die, what fate does a matching curse force on Elizabeth?
Endless reincarnation
His younger brother Zeldris stayed loyal to their father, the Demon King, after Meliodas deserted, and the same actor voices both of them.
Q 14Which fairy in The Seven Deadly Sins, King's younger sister, falls in love with Ban over just seven days?
Elaine
Elaine died saving Ban from a demon's attack, and his long quest to bring her back drives much of his story; the two end the series married with a son.
Q 15The Seven Deadly Sins unfolds in which land, home to the kingdom of Liones and five great clans?
Britannia
Britannia is a fantasy take on the Europe of the Middle Ages, shared by humans, giants, fairies and other clans who fought a great Holy War long before the story begins.
Q 16What job does Ban take at Meliodas's tavern once he rejoins the Seven Deadly Sins?
Cook
Cook is a job the tavern badly needs filled: when Meliodas prepares a fish for the king's birthday in the first film, the king recoils at the taste.
Q 17Which manga artist, who refuses to work with assistants, wrote and drew The Seven Deadly Sins?
Nakaba Suzuki
Nakaba Suzuki drew more than twenty versions of the pilot chapter before the series began its serial run in 2012.
Q 18In The Seven Deadly Sins, what kind of weapon is Gideon, the Sacred Treasure Diane swings to lift mountains?
A war hammer
A war hammer weighing about 2,200 pounds, Gideon boosts Diane's power over the earth and was once offered as the prize at a fighting festival.
Q 19Which Holy Knight captain, final enemy of The Seven Deadly Sins' first season, turns himself into a demon?
Hendrickson
Hendrickson fed demon blood to young knights to build a 'New Generation' army, then drank it himself; he survives and later fights beside the heroes as a repentant ally.
Q 20What is the real name of King, the fairy ruler who serves in the Seven Deadly Sins?
Harlequin
Harlequin nearly had a different name altogether: early drafts called the character Jehan and gave him the sin of pride, not sloth.
Endless reincarnation is the crueller half of the pair: each time Elizabeth recovers her memories she dies within three days, and Meliodas has watched it happen more than a hundred times.
Q 24Into which hellish realm does Ban venture to bring back Meliodas's stolen emotions from the Demon King?
Purgatory
Purgatory's unforgiving conditions hardened Ban's body over countless years, which is why he stays formidable even after losing his immortality.
Q 25Which Holy Knight, trained by Meliodas as a boy, hunts the Seven Deadly Sins in season one?
Gilthunder
Gilthunder was acting under duress: a mage's familiar watched over the princess he loved, so he dropped cryptic hints to Meliodas while playing the enemy.
Q 26The Seven Deadly Sins were branded traitors for the supposed murder of which Holy Knight commander?
Zaratras
Zaratras was really killed by two of his own knights while a demon controlled them, and he briefly returns from the dead to help undo the damage.

Q 28Which Japanese actor, also Shoto Todoroki in My Hero Academia, voices both Meliodas and Zeldris?
Yuki Kaji
Yuki Kaji won the part even though the author first pictured a woman voicing Meliodas; after hearing audition samples he called Kaji the only suitable choice.
Q 29Which boy, prophesied to help destroy the world, leads the Seven Deadly Sins sequel Four Knights of the Apocalypse?
Percival
Percival was created specifically for the sequel, because the author decided against a lead too closely related to the cast of the first series.
Q 30Which film, the first Seven Deadly Sins movie, begins with a fishing trip for King Bartra's birthday feast?
Prisoners of the Sky
Prisoners of the Sky sends Meliodas through a magic well to a land above the clouds, where winged locals mistake him for one of their own.
