This makes Meliodas desperate, and he eventually gets cornered by the Ten Commandment Melascula (Mela Lee), which forces him to revert to his true demon form, which is devoid of emotion but is infinitely more powerful than his regular self. It’s also how he was like over 3,000 years ago. But a revelation is made about Meliodas’s girlfriend, Elizabeth (Erika Harlacher), that reveals her true nature as well as her and Meliodas’s relationships with the world’s two Deities, the Demon King (Jason Marnocha) and the Supreme Deity, which triggers a curse that will cause Elizabeth to die in three days. The basic plot of Season 4 sees Meliodas and his six other Sins reunite to take on the remaining members of the Ten Commandments, an elite squad thats serves the evil Demon King led by Zeldris (Papenbrook). I don’t mind epics, in fact I enjoy them when done well, but turning a story like the “Sins” into one this late was destined to do only one thing to the show: Turn it into a gigantic mess.Įvil Meliodas vs Escanor, the world’s strongest man, and my favorite character. If Seasons 1-3 were a tightly constructed, but contained tail in the “Seven Deadly Sins” world, much like what “The Hobbit” novel is for Middle Earth, Season 4 would be the show’s “Lord of the Rings,” with an army of new characters being introduced, most of whom do contribute to the season’s narrative in interesting ways, but are too one dimensional to be of interest on their own.
Season 4 “Wrath of the Gods”, which landed on Netflix this year, is both much more grand in scale in its storytelling, but also more unfocused. I loved this show’s first three seasons, and even though it’s not canon, its 2018 film “Prisoners of the Sky.” In my opinion “The Seven Deadly Sins” early seasons are a great formulaic action-adventure anime with likeable characters, a focused plot, dastardly villains and heroic heroes, although I admit that I liked Season 1 much more than Season 3 (which is Season 2 in Japan and is technically the real Season 2, as Netflix’s Season 2 is a 4-episode limited series they reformatted), as while Season 3 did conclude a story that made sense between Captain Meliodas (Bryce Papenbrook) of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Demon Fraudrin (Chris Cason), it felt like it ran out of steam rather than reach a natural, satisfying conclusion.
