"The Seven Deadly Sins," known in Japanese as "Nanatsu no Taizai," follows a group of powerful Holy Knights, branded as traitors, who are falsely accused of plotting a coup against the Kingdom of Liones. Ten years after being framed, the Sins are hunted by the Holy Knights, who have seized control of the kingdom. The story revolves around Meliodas, the Sins' leader, and the Liones princess, Elizabeth, as they seek to clear the Sins' names and liberate Liones from the corrupt Holy Knights.

Seven Deadly Sins (Individuals):

The Seven Deadly Sins「七つの大罪, Nanatsu no Taizai」 were the strongest and cruelest order of Holy Knights in the Kingdom of Liones. They were formed by seven brutal criminals, who had all been convicted for grievous crimes and had carved the symbols of seven beasts onto their bodies. They were originally framed for murdering the Great Holy Knight Zaratras, and as a result were hunted. They were indefinitely disbanded, as well as branded as traitors and villains, separating from one another and forced to go into hiding. This however, was due to the treachery of the Great Holy Knights' Dreyfus and Hendrickson, as they were responsible for framing the Sins and branding as traitors in order to further their own ambitions. 10 years later, the 6 of the 7 Sins (minus Escanor) came together, stopped both of the Great Holy Knights from destroying Liones, and ultimately cleared their names of all their accused crimes. Now cleared of their accused crimes, the Sins now function independently from the rest of the Holy Knights, free to come and go from the kingdom as they please.

The Holy Knights「聖せい騎き士し, Seikishi」are the most powerful knights in Britannia who are heroes that protect their kingdoms. They are a group of terrifying individuals, with each able to match an entire country's army in strength and power and having magic that transcends human knowledge imbued within their bodies.

In Britannia, there are orders of Holy Knights within the Kingdoms of Liones, Camelot, Benwick and the fallen Kingdom of Danafor and Edinburgh.
