Just when everything seemed to be settling down in The Seven Deadly Sins, a surprising character reveals their shocking, long-held plan.
WARNING: The following contains spoilers for The Seven Deadly Sins : Dragon's Judgment Part 2, now streaming on Netflix.
The final season of The Seven Deadly Sins saved one of its most shocking twists for the very end. After the Demon King's defeat, the Sins celebrate that they've each accomplished their own goals and realize they have no idea what Merlin's goal is. Merlin obligingly transports everyone back to the Lake of Magic, where they overcame the Demon King, and reveals her shocking plan that's been 3,000 years in the making.
Merlin has always been the most mysterious member of the Seven Deadly Sins. Her incredible power as a mage was borderline too convenient for someone who seemingly never experienced any kind of growth as a character. As it turns out, most of the series has been a part of Merlin's long con -- right down to the formation of the Seven Deadly Sins . Let's break down the most shocking revelations from Merlin's big reveal.
Chaos is the name of the ultimate power and the creating force of everything in the universe in The Seven Deadly Sins . It created the Demon King, Supreme Deity, the Sacred Tree, Giants, and Humans. Chaos is an ever-changing force with no given form, and Merlin resurrects Arthur to be its ruler. The Priestess of Chaos, an entity that inhabits the Lake of Magic, confirms that only a human of its own choosing can be the ruler of Chaos.
After Merlin revives Arthur, he is immediately endowed with the power of Chaos. His own emotional state has the power to alter the very fabric of reality. This development makes Arthur the most powerful being in the history of The Seven Deadly Sins , as Chaos is said to possess darkness that even the Demon King fears, and light that even the Supreme Deity worships. Merlin intends to use Arthur and Chaos' power to build a new, eternal kingdom in Britannia.
After Chaos created the human race, the Demon King and Supreme Deity became worried it would no longer have use for them and agreed to seal Chaos away. It turns out, they did so by creating a golem resembling a giant, green pig. When Hawk and Hawk Mama attempted to leave the battlefield after the defeat of the Demon King, Hawk Mama stopped and stared at the Lake of Magic, refusing to budge, apparently sensing that Chaos was about to be freed. Visibly reacting to the unleashing of Chaos, Hawk Mama's body deflated as the power of Chaos relocated inside of Arthur.
The Seven Deadly Sins' Merlin was born as a child prodigy in an ancient city of mages called Belialuin over 3,000 years ago. As a child, one day she encountered Meliodas outside the city and fell in love with him. She decided to take on the form of a beautiful woman and froze her body that way forever, only to have her heart broken when Meliodas returned to visit her with Elizabeth at his side. Crushed, Merlin spent the rest of her life trying to fill the hole in her heart by gaining more magic and power, until one day she learned of the existence of Chaos.
In all their 3,000 years together, Merlin never told Meliodas about Chaos -- much less her plan to free it -- and began orchestrating events. She sabotaged her own time-stopping magic, which allowed the Demon King to be freed, and directed Meliodas to fire the Sins' final move against the Demon King into the Lake of Magic, giving the Lake the power she would need to later revive Arthur. Worst of all, Merlin reactivated Elizabeth's curse after Meliodas had lifted it.
Merlin reasoned that even though she saved Elizabeth from the curse, she needed it active to motivate Meliodas to kill the Demon King, as the Demon King's death was necessary to free Chaos from its prison. The formation of the Seven Deadly Sins in the first place was Merlin's idea, and they are all shocked to learn that it was all just part of her plan to free Chaos. Merlin is not seen again after freeing Chaos and leaving with Arthur, leaving it in the air if the other Sins forgive her -- or if she even forgives herself for using them.

The Seven Deadly Sins are manga series written and illustrated by Nakaba Suzuki , set in a fictitious Britannia ( ブリタニア , Buritania ) in a time period superficially akin to the European Middle Ages . Likewise superficially, and frequently in ironic or contradictory ways, the series references various traditions, including Christianity (e.g., the Seven Deadly Sins , the Ten Commandments ) and the Arthurian legend (e.g., in naming Meliodas, Escanor, Merlin, Diane, Gowther, King, and Ban). [1] [2] [3] [4] The contradictory nature of the names given to the groups and characters is reflected in the emergence of the title group as the protagonists and the group of "Holy Knights" as the antagonists of the series. [5]

In accordance with the medieval theme, many of The Seven Deadly Sins are depicted as knights, broadly construed, who are clad in stylized variations of medieval armor , many of whom perform magic . The five major clans in the series are Humans , Giants , Fairies , Goddess es, and Demons , all of which possess powerful abilities and magical powers. In naming the characters, the manga offers a wide variety of further mythical, historical, geographical, and cultural allusions, e.g., King Arthur , Merlin , Gowther , [6] Zaratras (Zoroaster), Dreyfus , Gustaf, Frisia, Jericho , Galand , [7] [8] Derierrie , Albions , The Vampires , and Zhivago .

The Seven Deadly Sins ( 七つの大罪 , Nanatsu no Taizai ) were the strongest and cruelest order of Holy Knights in the kingdom, formed by Meliodas and six other brutal criminals from various races who were branded symbols of beasts to symbolize the sin that motivated their crimes. Each of the members of the group had the highest Holy Knight ranking, Diamond. They were branded as traitors to Britannia, having allegedly abetted the assassination of the Great Holy Knight Zaratras. The Deadly Sins are eventually absolved of their crimes after liberating Liones from rule of the Holy Knights.

The Four Knights of the Apocalypse ( 黙示録の四騎士 , Mokushiroku no Yonkishi ) are an order of Holy Knights that serve as the protagonists of the sequel series. Each described to possess unique powers, the Four Knights are prophesied by King Arthur Pendragon to bring destruction to the world.

The Liones Kingdom is the setting for most of the story with its Holy Knights ( 聖騎士 , Seikishi ) being among the most powerful knight orders in Britannia. Sometime before the beginning of the series, via the machinations of the demon Fraudrin, Hendrickson orchestrates a coup d'état and takes control of Liones. This caused the kingdom to fall into a state of distress as citizens from towns and villages surrounding the kingdom were enslaved or forcefully recruited into joining the Holy Knights in preparation for a Holy War. Under the rule of the Holy Knights, death was the penalty for insubordination. Following Hendrickson's defeat and Dreyfus's disappearance, Baltra pardoned most of the knights as he preferred they atone for their actions.

The Weird Fangs ( 不気味な牙 ( ウィアード・ファング ) , Wiādo Fangu ) are Holy Knights in charge of Baste Prison ( バステ監獄 , Basute Kangoku ) , who aided in the capture of Ban whom they kept prisoner there. Following the destruction of Baste Prison, the surviving Weird Fangs leave Liones before later returning, only to learn of the chaos that occurred in their absence.

Roars of Dawn ( 暁闇の咆哮 ( ドーン・ロアー ) , Dōn Roā , lit. "Dawn Roar") are a group of independent Holy Knights known for their tenacity to see their missions through to the very end. They first encounter the Deadly Sins while tasked with decapitating the Armoured Giant and bringing his head to Helbram, with Gowther ending the conflict peacefully. The group later dwindles to two members after the other three are killed by Fraudin while escorting Dreyfus to prison.

The Kingdom of Camelot ( キャメロット , Kyamerotto ) is the newly established kingdom in the southern regions of Britannia, ruled by Arthur Pendragon with Merlin as his advisor. Though Camelot was taken over by Zeldris and later destroyed during the battle between the Seven Deadly Sins and the Demon King, Arthur uses his gained powers as the Chaos King to rebuild Camelot as an "everlasting kingdom". Camelot serves as an antagonistic force in the sequel series Four Knights of the Apocalypse , due to the titular group foretold to kill Arthur while his subordinates seek to use the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.

The Knights of Chaos ( 混沌の騎士 , Konton no kishi ) are a group of Holy Knights that serve King Arthur in the newly created kingdom of Camelot.

The Dark Talismans ( 闇のタリスマン , Yami no Tarisuman ) are Holy Knights that serve as elite assassins.

The Demons clan are a race of humanoid beings who were at odds with the Goddess race 3,000 years ago until Meliodas' actions caused his people to wage war against the Goddesses and Stigma, an alliance of the Human, Giant, Fairy races. The demons were sealed away, only to be released into Britannia through the machinations of the demon Fraudrin. The high-ranking Demons possess seven hearts, making them difficult to kill.

Ten elite demons selected personally by the Demon King, they were originally led by Meliodas 3000 years prior before he fell in love with Elizabeth, which caused the Holy War. Each of the Ten Commandments can make use of a curse which plays on the virtue that they represent. The Commandments are named after virtues they are branded with, later revealed to be fragments of the Demon King's soul, which play on the nature of their curses. A commandment's sigil passes to whomever defeats the current holder or receives it willingly, with the one who possesses all ten sigils gaining power equal to the Demon King's yet subject to becoming his vessel. [ vol. 36 ] The Commandment sigils are eventually destroyed when Meliodas permanently destroys the Demon King. [ ch. 332 ]

The Vampire Race are among the creatures birthed from the Mother of Chaos, serving the Demon race as vassals during the Holy War. But the Vampire King Izraf attempted a coup that ends in failure, with the Demon King using this as an excuse to force Zeldris into killing his love Gelda ( Voiced by: Yuko Kaida (Japanese); Amber Lee Connors (English) ). But Zeldris instead sealed the vampires away in a sarcophagus rather than execute them. But the vampires were freed 12 years prior to the inception of the story, taking over the Kingdom of Edinburgh before they were all killed with the exception of Orlandi, whom Merlin captured and turned into a bat creature in service to Camelot, and Gelda, whom Meliodas resealed before being freed and reunited with Zeldris.

One of the five races of Britannia that are Demon Race's equals and are led by the Supreme Deity. Three millennia ago, as a result of Elizabeth falling in love with Meliodas, the Goddess Race declared war on the Demon with support from the humans, the giants, and the fairies. Though they won the war by using the Coffin of Eternal Darkness after the demon mage Gowther altered their memories that Mael was killed, the Supreme Deity was sealed away while the other members of the Goddess Race lose their physical forms. Following the return of the Demons, members of the Goddess Race begin to resurface and gather for a new Holy War.

The second fairy king after Gloxinia allied himself with the demons, armed with Spirit Spear Darrenheart despite being reliant on brute strength. He wanted no part in the Holy War and was served by his predecessor’s sister as his aide before King succeeds him. He appears in the epilogue film The Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light as one of the antagonists while under the control of the Supreme Deity, amassing an army of fairies and giants to aid him and Dubs.

A craftsman of the Giant Race whom Merlin commissioned to create the Coffin of Eternal Darkness, also revealed to created many other weapons like Meloidas's Lostvayne. He appears in the epilogue film The Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light as one of the antagonists while under the Supreme Deity's control, supplying weapons to maintain Dahlia's spell in those they enthralled to their cause.
