Monspeet

Intelligent Fighter With Indura Form

• Race: Demon
• Strongest Ability: Indura

Monspeet was a member of the Demon Clan and one of the Ten Commandments. He possessed the Commandment of Reticence, which did not boost his fighting abilities. As a result, Monspeet had to rely on his own strength to defeat his opponents. Monspeet’s power level was noted to be at 53,000, which is very high, and he could further increase it by unleashing his Indura form.

To activate the Indura form, Monspeet had to sacrifice six of his seven hearts, making it a risky move, but the amount of power that it granted made the risk worthwhile. In addition to the Indura form, Monspeet was also able to use an ability called Trick Star, which allowed him to switch two objects with each other. His most lethal attack is called Hellblaze, with which he could block the regeneration of an immortal. Monspeet also had a great deal of resilience, which was demonstrated when he fought against Tarmiel, one of the Archangels.

Derieri

Power Keeps Increasing Until She is Stopped

• Race: Demon
• Strongest Ability: Indura

Derieri was a member of the Ten Commandments and possessed the Commandment of Purity. The Commandment was bestowed upon her by the Demon King, and it became active if someone committed impure deeds in her presence, which caused the Commandment to inflict the person with an illness.

Derieri’s physical abilities were quite impressive and her innate power, Combo Star, could prove to be lethal if she was allowed to attack consistently. Derieri’s Combo Star kept adding 200,000 pounds of force to the next attack until she was interrupted, in which case she would have to start all over again. Like Monspeet, Derieri also had access to the Indura Form, but she only ever used it as a last resort.

Diane

Can Manipulate Earth To Her Will

• Race: Giant
• Strongest Ability: Creation

Diane is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins. As a member of the Giant Clan, she is blessed with incredible vitality and physical strength.

Diane’s powers increased by many folds after she went through Drole’s trial and learned how to use Drole’s Dance. This technique improved Diane’s connection to the earth and allowed her to utilize her surroundings in a much better way. Toward the end of the series, Diane managed to become one of the strongest characters in the Seven Deadly Sins.

Can Stop Regeneration With Black Flames

• Race: Demon
• Strongest Ability: Crisis and Hellblaze

The Original Demon, also known as the Sinner, was an ancient demon that was created by the Demon King. After a failed rebellion, he was divided into two lesser demons, which greatly lowered his strength.

The Original Demon was immensely powerful as he managed to fight on par against Escanor, albeit the latter was not at his full power. The Original Demon has two insanely strong abilities— Crisis and Hellblaze. Crisis is an extraordinary ability that increases power based on the damage taken.

Ban

Incredible Durability And Stamina

• Race: Human
• Strongest Ability: Snatch

Ban is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins and their cook. He has a very close bond with his captain, Meliodas, and the two can be considered best friends. For the majority of the series, Ban was weak in comparison to the other members of the Seven Deadly Sins.

It was only after his journey through Purgatory that Ban gained tremendous power. The trip through Purgatory made Ban more powerful and resilient, allowing him to take on stronger opponents. In fact, he was able to withstand several blows from the Demon King, a feat that only a handful of characters could boast of. Ban’s unique ability is called Snatch, and as the name suggests, it allows him to rob other people of their powers. After robbing their abilities, Ban can turn the tide of battle in his favor.

Demon King’s Other Son

• Strongest Ability: Ominous Nebula, Hellblaze, God

Zeldris was chosen as the leader of the Ten Commandments after Meliodas’ betrayal. He is the other son of the Demon King. Zeldris’ father bestowed some of his power to his son, which allowed him to take and give the commandments to anyone else.

Zeldris can nullify all sorts of magic attacks that are used against him. He can also use the Ominous Nebula, which attracts all living things and slices them apart with relative ease. It took the combined effort of the Seven Deadly Sins, and the Four Archangels to take down Zeldris and the Original Demon.

Cath

Cannot Be Killed By Normal Means

• Race: Unknown
• Strongest Ability: Chaos

When Cath was first introduced in the series, no one in their right mind would have thought that this adorable creature was born out of Chaos. It was only toward the end that Cath revealed that he was a fearsome creature who wanted to destroy the entire world and take all the power of Chaos for himself.

In the fight against the Seven Deadly Sins, Cath showcased his frightening power, which only increased when he managed to devour Arthur’s arm, which contained a fragment of Chaos. With the power of Chaos, Cath gained immortality and regenerative powers that allowed him to recover from any kind of injury. He could also create pocket dimensions that entrapped his targets and left them unable to fight. Even Merlin, who is considered to be the best magician in the entire series struggled to subdue Cath. If it weren’t for Arthur, the world would have been destroyed by the creature from the Purgatory.

6

Merlin

Best Mage In All Of Britannia

5

Escanor

Almost Unbeatable At Noon

• Race: Human
• Strongest Ability: Sunshine

Everyone knows that Escanor is one of the strongest characters in the series. He was the wielder of Mael’s grace after the latter was turned into Estarossa. But unlike the Archangel, Escanor didn’t have the same level of control over it. Instead of being able to harness the power 24/7, Escanor could only use the power during the day. The decision to limit Escanor’s strength was beneficial to the overall story as it gave other characters a chance to show off their abilities.

As previously stated, Escanor’s power was limited to the daytime. He reached the peak of his strength at noon, which he called ‘The One.’ For exactly one minute, Escanor was considered invincible and almost no one was able to stand in his way. He has several feats to his name, which include overwhelming Assault Mode Meliodas, Estarossa, and Gaaland.

4

Mael

Strongest Archangel Whose Grace Is Sunshine

• Race: Goddess
• Strongest Ability: Sunshine

Mael is the strongest out of the Four Archangels of the Goddess Clan. The only character superior to Mael within the Goddess Clan is the Supreme Deity. Mael’s grace—Sunshine makes him an extremely dangerous opponent.

His power peaks at noon and not many characters can hold their own before his might. When Meliodas sided with the Goddess Clan, Gowther had to alter everyone’s memory and turn Mael into Estarossa to balance out the power between the two clans.

3

Meliodas

Insane Physical Power And Has Full Counter

• Race: Demon
• Strongest Ability: Full Counter

Meliodas is the captain of the Seven Deadly Sins and the strongest fighter in the group. He was originally the leader of the Ten Commandments, but then he fell in love with Elizabeth and decided to quit being their leader. This decision did not go down well with the Demon King, who made sure to punish him.

Even at the beginning of the story, Meliodas came off as a powerful individual, but his true strength was revealed towards the end. When the story was in its final stretch, Meliodas’ power rivaled that of the Demon King. On top of his incredible physical strength, Meliodas’ has access to Full Counter, which is one of the strongest abilities in the series.

Chaos Arthur

Still Needs To Gain Control Over His Power

• Race: Human
• Strongest Ability: Chaos

After the Demon King was defeated by Meliodas and his friends, there was an astounding revelation regarding an entity that struck fear into the Demon King and the Supreme Deity.

The entity was none other than Chaos. It chose Arthur as its host, which granted him outrageous abilities. With the power of Chaos, Arthur can bend time and space. The true extent of Arthur’s abilities is unknown, but once he gets a full hold over his power, then it would be nigh impossible to stop him.

The Demon King and The Supreme Deity

Neither Can Be Beaten In A 1v1

• Race: Demon, Goddess
• Strongest Ability: Ruler

The Demon King and the Supreme Deity were created by Chaos. The Demon King led the Demons while the Supreme Deity ruled the Goddess Clan. Both of them have very strong abilities, which allowed them to seal away their creator, Chaos.

The Demon King’s unique ability is known as the Ruler, which inverts any magic that is used to hurt him. This nullifies almost every threat to him. Not much is known about the Supreme Deity except for the fact, that her magic is highly effective against demons.
