[The Seven Deadly Sins] Will Meliodas' son Tristan be the main character in the sequel "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (tentative title)"? Summary of sequel information

"The Seven Deadly Sins" has been serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine for about seven and a half years, and finally came to a spectacular conclusion in March 2020! It is a hugely popular, classic fantasy work that depicts the exploits of the strongest and most terrible order of knights, "The Seven Deadly Sins". However, when the final chapter of the original work was published, the production of a sequel, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (tentative title)", was announced! In this article, there is still little information, but I would like to share my predictions about "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (tentative title)".

What is "The Seven Deadly Sins"?

This is a classic fantasy anime that began serialization in Weekly Shonen Magazine in 2012 and was completed in March 2020. The theme is "love," and various couples appear in the work, and fans have been discussing "which couple is your favorite?" The main character, Meliodas, works with the heroine Elizabeth and the members of the strongest and worst knight order, "The Seven Deadly Sins," to protect the peace of Britannia. The highlights of the series are not only the exhilarating battle scenes, but also the fact that the secrets and pasts of the members of The Seven Deadly Sins are gradually revealed, and the characters' feelings are shared.

About the sequel "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (tentative title)"

"The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (tentative title)" is the sequel to the final episode of The Seven Deadly Sins, whose production was announced. Since it has (tentative title), it means that the title may still change. Since the sequel is announced with the words "The story goes to the next generation," it is thought that the protagonist will be Tristan, the son of Meliodas and Elizabeth, who appeared in the final episode of The Seven Deadly Sins. However, the obi of the final volume says, "Then, the story moves to the era of King Arthur," so we can't rule out the possibility that Arthur is the main character! No information has been released yet, so we're looking forward to seeing what kind of story it is.

Will it be Suzuki Nakaba's version of the "Legend of King Arthur"?

In the first volume of the "Seven Deadly Sins" manga, the original author, Nakaba Suzuki, commented, "This is a prequel to my beloved legend of King Arthur, Nakaba Suzuki!" In "The Seven Deadly Sins," Arthur Pendragon appears as the young king of Camelot, but at the end of the original story, Arthur sets off with Merlin to create a new kingdom. In the "Legend of King Arthur," the main character is Arthur, right? So, will Tristan and Lancelot appear as Arthur's companions? However, there are 12 Knights of the Round Table... Four Knights is not enough.

What is "Apocalypse" anyway?

"Apocalypse" is a word related to Christianity, and "revelation" means "what God shows to people." Also, since "The Book of Revelation" describes a great disaster that will occur at the end of the world, it is sometimes used to mean a catastrophic disaster or calamity. Considering that it is a fantasy anime, it is more likely that it is used in the latter sense. Since Lancelot has already disappeared, it is possible that a new disaster will occur and Tristan and his friends will have to face it.

Tristan appears in the final episode of "The Seven Deadly Sins"!

Tristan, the son of Meliodas and Elizabeth, who appeared in the final episode of "The Seven Deadly Sins", is considered to be the most likely protagonist of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (tentative title)". He looks just like Meliodas, and is a cute boy with long hair at the nape of his neck. On his 10th birthday, Gowther told Tristan about the battles of the "Seven Deadly Sins" so far, and Tristan was surprised and admired him at the same time. His dream for the future is to become one of the "Seven Deadly Sins". I'm looking forward to seeing how Tristan will perform in the sequel!

In "The Seven Deadly Sins: Rain Forest that Invites the Beginning," Ban's son, Lancelot, also appears!

Lancelot, who will likely appear as an important character in "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (tentative title)," appears in the spinoff! In chapter 345, it was discovered that Elaine was pregnant with Ban's child, and Ban had decided to name the child "Lancelot." And the one-shot story published in Weekly Shonen Magazine in August 2020 was about this Lancelot! At the beginning of the spinoff, Lancelot was a beautiful boy with long hair similar to Elaine. However, Lancelot, who can read minds, hated being thought of as "girlish" and when he found out that his master Jericho thought he was "cute", he cut his hair off. After cutting his hair, he became a boy who looked like both Ban and King. Lancelot had a strong admiration for Ban and wanted to be recognized by his father. Then one rainy day, he tried to solve a strange incident that occurred in the forest by himself, and suddenly disappeared along with Jericho, who was watching over Lancelot. The part at the end of the spinoff that says "A few years later... the prince will appear and be called the 'Prince of the Lake' is another story" is also very intriguing!

Summary of information on "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (tentative title)"

The sequel to "The Seven Deadly Sins", "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (tentative title)", has not yet been officially titled, and the start date of serialization is also unknown. The main character is probably Tristan, but that is also not certain... However, the one-shot story of Lancelot, which appeared in the extra edition, was an exciting story that leads to the future, and I can't help but look forward to "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (tentative title)"!
