We are now
entering the middle of summer 2019 season and it only means that we are getting
closer to this season’s denouement which really gives us a promising lineup and
to be honest, I am seriously enjoying this season. However, a part of me is
already anticipating so much for the next season which is the fall 2019 lineup
due to some of my personal favorite anime comes along with it.
Among the reason
that keeps me excited for the fall anime lineup is The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods.
It is the 3rd season assigned for the popular shounen anime Nanatsu
no Taizai or popularly known as Seven Deadly Sins in the English-speaking world
of anime community.
The Seven Deadly
Sins Season 2 (Revival of the Ten Commandments) finished at 6th
place in our Top 20 Anime
of 2018 Year-end list and with how it ended, there’s no doubt that fans
and the anime community as a whole were excited to see how the Holy War will
continue. Personally, I have knowledge of what’s about to come if the anime
will purely be based on the novel but I won’t spoil some beans in this post and
instead, I’ll keep on sharing updates about the upcoming Seven Deadly Sins Season 3 which is
scheduled to air on October 9 this year.
For readers who
are not familiar with Seven Deadly Sins, the following is the synopsis of the
anime:
The Seven Deadly Sins were once an active group of knights in the region of Britannia (ブリタニア Buritania), who disbanded after they supposedly plotted to overthrow the Liones Kingdom (リオネス王国 Rionesu Ōkoku). Their supposed defeat came at the hands of the Holy Knights, but rumors continued to persist that they were still alive. Ten years later, the Holy Knights staged a coup d'état and captured the king, becoming the new, tyrannical rulers of the kingdom. The third princess, Elizabeth Liones, then starts out on a journey to find the Seven Deadly Sins and enlist their help in taking back the kingdom from the Holy Knights. (Via: Wikipedia)
During the run
of its first (2) seasons, Seven Deadly Sins had gained quite a cult and it is
even ranked along with some of the most popular shounen anime of the series
such as Hunter x Hunter, Black Clover, and My Hero Academia as to be the next
candidate for the BIG THREE (3) of the shounen genre. However, the anime is
coming to its epic conclusion and the upcoming Seven Deadly Sins Season 3 could
be the final installment in the franchise.
On August 23, 2019 - A new promo video for The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods had been unveiled featuring our favorite sins and together with other characters in the series including Drole and Gloxinia who will both plays vital roles in this part of the story. You may check the PV below.

You may enjoy watching in in your favorite anime streaming site or get yourself a copy of The Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of the Commandments 1 [Regular Edition] / Animation which you could add in your anime collection.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD IF THE ANIME WILL FOLLOW THE MANGA
Congratulations!
If you’re reading this it means you are prepared for any possible spoilers.
Therefore, you may have this question in your head why you proceed – What to Expect in Seven DeadlySins Season 3? Alright, so I will share some enticing thoughts to ponder
before the actual anime premiere.
[to be
listed/bullet]
GOWTHER REAL INTENTION – who is Gowther and what’s his real motive?
Gowther is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins as well as The 10 Commandments. He is both a doll and a sorcerer. The real Gowther is a powerful wizard and is the teacher of Merlin’s father. The Demon King bestowed him a commandment before. How strong is he? He is powerful enough as a wizard being able to deceive the Demon King and everyone else in the previous Holy War and eventually ended it. His power lasted for over 3000 years until the current Gowther (a doll created by the original Gowther) unveiled the truth.
THE FIRST GIANT AND FAIRY KING
Drole and Gloxinia’s role in the story is more than what we saw so far in the previous season. They are among the most important characters from the previous Holy War and will play a vital role in increasing the power of Diane and King which will help them fight the upper echelon of the Demon clan.
THE EXECUTIONER – ZELDRIS
 |
| Zeldris the Executioner |
THE SECRET OF ESTAROSSA
 |
| Gowther's cursed Mael to become Estarossa |
This is something that is quite hard to explain but Estarossa isn’t what he usually looks like. [BIG SPOILER] Estarossa is no demon, he is in fact from the Goddess clan. Estarossa is Mael, the strongest for the 4 archangels. So, why did he become a demon? That question will lead us back to Gowther, the exact person that steals Mael’s identity and give birth to Estarossa. Gowther altered the memory of almost everyone else from the previous Holy War and embedded Mael as Estarossa – the 2nd son of the Demon King in the memory of everyone. Furthermore, Escanor’s power is borrowed from Mael’s blessing – thus, giving explanation to the unusual strength of the proud sun.
THE CURSE OF MELIODAS AND ELIZABETH
This one is
truly a painful curse I’ll say. Meliodas had been cursed to be immortal, to
witness and suffer the death of Elizabeth who had been cursed to die and reborn
simultaneously. For thousands of years, Meliodas had witnessed the death of
Elizabeth in a different era and generation and must bear that pain inside of
him as he slowly loses an ounce of goodness in his heart as time goes by.
THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS POWER LEVEL-UP
 |
| Ban Returns from Purgatory |
So far, we have Escanor as the strongest characters in the anime though as the story progress, our favorite members of the Seven Deadly Sins will gain special powers one way or another. Among its members with the most notable growth in power were King and Diane, Ban also got a great upgrade after his time in the purgatory though he eventually loses his immortality in order to save Ellaine. Merlin also shows a fearsome side of her as she faces challenges and enemies with calm composure and her unimaginable knowledge.
Well, these were
only some of the stuff that I dare to share with you guys. There are tons of
other things about the upcoming Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods which will surely take us
by surprise. But since the anime still a shounen genre, some of the aspects of
its story could be easily predicted. Nonetheless, there’s no doubt that we will
be up to another funny, epic adventure from our favorite estrange knights.
