Though, there are some necessary and useful ones that drive the plot forward, such as the ones that Sins giantess Diane (Erica Mendez) and current Fairy King King (Max Mittelman he is a king and his name is also King) get from Ten Commandments Drole and Gloxinia (Marianne Miller), the former Kings of both the Giant and Fairy races, who joined the Commandements out of necessity. There are a lot of upgrades this season, so much so that it seems that many of them are there just to sell merchandise, as the sheer amount of them can be numbing. He talks in a deep voice and is generically evil. Some shred of the old Meliodas does seem to be in him, as he directs his dark self with the singular purpose of amassing enough power to break Elizabeth’s curse, but that doesn’t change the fact that there’s not much to Dark Meliodas. Unfortunately, it seems that his evil self is about as deep as Frieza from “Dragon Ball Z” - a villain gifted with world-destroying super powers completely numb to the suffering he causes, who destroys mostly because he can and he likes it (although I admit, Frieza is much more fun as a villain). Season 4 is great because we finally get to see the dark Meliodas previous seasons’ antagonists have alluded to for so long, but that we never got to actually see. We see a much darker Meliodas, and his Sins team experience the exact same situation the Ten Commandments faced in Season 3: Confronting their former leader, who no longer stands with them, who is acting much differently than the person they love.

Season 4 sees the Sins fight against an evil Meliodas and other demons that have been released from the Demon Realm, like Chandler, Meliodas’s mentor who taught him his iconic Full Counter move. 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.
