CRAZY THEORY INCOMING
I think my brain just glitched...
Ok so... Camelot. Arthur made Camelot through the power of Chaos right. At first, I found it weird that Arthur even needed to steal parts of Britannia to make Camelot. Chaos is incredibly powerful, it literally made three powerful deities that made their own realms for their own created races. So... why can't Arthur just make Camelot on its own. Then, it was later established that these places and people in Camelot are made through the wishes and wants of the people, without it there's nothing. If Chaos is so powerful, why is Arthur limited through that? Then it clicked.
The Sacred Tree is still alive
The Sacred Tree is essentially an embodiment of Nature. Disaster, a power granted by The Sacred Tree to the Fairy Kings is an ability that grants control over life and death.
The 'people' within Camelot function like a physical illusion. They're 'alive' but not really. They're just there, fueled by a wish. They don't even grow old, they just stay like that because that's all they are an illusion, they're not alive because there's no life.
The Demon King's power is darkness. The Supreme Diety's power is light. The Sacred Tree's power is life.
Notice how unnatural-looking the Chaos monsters are. Almost demonic even. That, to me, shows that Chaos is unstable.
The Demon King and his Commandments and The Supreme Deity and her graces are somewhat of an extension of themselves, it's their power passed to others. If we correlate this to Chaos creating the DK, SD and ST as Chaos sacrificing parts of their power, that power is lost or weakened because they have it. But the DK and SD are no longer present and since they are created by Chaos, that power most likely goes back to it. That is my assumption at least. But the graces are still out there. Ludo, Sariel, and Tarmiel died with their graces so they'll just go back after a few thousand years with their graces so that part of the SD probably didn't even go back to Chaos.
I made a post way back and on that, I compared the Commandments and Graces to Disaster as all three are just an extension of the DK, SD, and ST's power, in there I noted how Disaster is different as all three Fairy Kings can use it even if they're all present, it's not like the Commandments and Graces that only one person can use it. So that is also interesting.
There is also a complete lack of Sacred Tree information and just now, in 4kota is literally the first time we ever step foot inside the Fairy Realm and we got more Fairy Lore which is really nice. Now, what if the reason behind the lack of information about the Sacred Tree is because of Chaos. Nakaba doesn't want us to know anything about Chaos up until the very end because of 4kota, because he wants to keep Chaos a mystery.
In Chapter 140, Tioreh told us about these giant mushrooms that grow on top of the Sacred Tree's roots that are called "God Seats". The DK and SD are the only ones primarily dubbed as Gods. So that part is also interesting.
This is the Demon King's last words to Meliodas.
"You will regret this..."
In Cursed By Light, before Meliodas and Zeldris beat the Supreme Deity, she says that the only way to maintain balance in the world is by continuing the Holy War.
Before Chaos is established, this is just nonsense. But now that we know... I have a feeling that the DK and SD sealing away Chaos has more to it than what we know. Also, isn't it fun that two beings born to be in conflict with one another worked together to seal Chaos? Now, we don't get to know more because they're gone but the Sacred Tree is still around... so there's that.
I have a huge feeling that Nakaba will give us some juicy lore about the Sacred Tree in the future. Either that or I'm high on copium.

I was thinking about this and I just wonder why Guinevere said "someone whose heart you can never have". Why never? There are only 3 possibilities:
1. She is basically incapable of loving someone. And we know this isn't true because she had a crush on Meliodas when she was 12-13 (which is utterly STUPID and I refuse to accept that it was that serious) but anyway that means she's capable of liking someone romantically.
2. She's dead... Which, could be but I don't think Arthur is crazy enough to kill the woman he supposedly loves (which is, once again, STUPID) and she's also powerful enough to protect herself from anyone who tries. And I'm not coming up with anyone in particular who would want her dead...
So, that left one possibility.
3. She already loves someone else.
And again, I'm not coming up with any name (except for Escanor)....
The fact that Guinevere knew it wasn't the real Merlin implies that she must have seen the real Merlin in her vision, doing something that confirmed to Guinevere that she's not on his side/her heart doesn't belong to Arthur. Or Guinevere was just saying things to hurt/offense Arthur and I'm reading too much into it lol

Okay, I have something to say. I can be wrong or not, but let's go.
There's a theory that Mertyl and Nasiens were victims of a prank (the changeling thing), but in the chapter 141
In both cases, King says that maybe he was unconsciously looking after him.
Unconsciously.
No parent will stop looking after a child, no matter how long that child was lost. No matter how much years it's takes.
Unless is dead.
Unless the parents think his child is dead.
All this time, they thought that they child was dead.
This is why it take 2 years to tell Nasiens the truth. They were afraid of the truth (that they failed to find they child).
This is why they haven't told Mertyl about being adopted (one of the possible reasons).
They firstborn child "died" and no one's knew about that.
Maybe I am wrong. Maybe not. But it's a good reason to all of that have happened.

So some of my thoughts on the uhhh infamous Jericho and Lancelot thingy
I hate it. I absolutely hate it, along with like 99% of the fandom, which is plausible and understandable. But I don't hate it becaus it's "pedobait" or something like that, for the narrative clearly does NOT condone her actions.
First and foremost, she's treated seriously as traitor and enemy. Obviously because she has sided with Camelot, but we can still say that it means her motive aka her "feelings" for Lancelot isn't shown in a good light enough to justify her betrayal.
Her falling for Lancelot is NOT normalized. When speaking of her relationship with Lancelot, everyone immediately thinks of that of a mentor-student and older sister/younger brother, that means it is considered totally not normal for Jericho to fall in love with a kid like Lancelot. The phrases "family", "master", "sister" and the likes are used repeatedly to highlighted the contrast between her actual feelings for Lancelot how she should feel towards him.
It is clear that Jericho also expresses shame about that, as shown when she cut Guila off. She herself said that it was disgusting, and she ran away because she knew common sense and that "love" of her was inappropriate.
In conclusion, her inappropriate feelings are not condoned, she is shown under a bad light, and treated as an enemy. If you feel disgust reading this, then that is GOOD, because you are supposed to do that, the narrative wants you to be disgusted by this.
But then why do I hate it? Because it did Jericho so so so dirty.
Why must she fall for Lancelot? Her hopelessly gushing over Ban was not enough? Why must she be the pedophilic villain, fooled by Arthur and betray her comrades for a fictional world he promised her?
I used to like her so much! She's funny to read, she's compassionate, she also has flaws and that's what fleshes her out as a human. Her character arc was basically completed in 7DS: She got over her crush for Ban, kind of stopped arguing pointlessly with her brother (because he uhhh died), awoke to her magic, and with Gustav's death she could then see Ban as her brother figure just like how he saw her as his little sister. It was perfect.
There's literally no reason for Jericho to become like this. It's just so fucking sad.
The best thing we can hope for right now is that Arthur probably brainwashed her into thinking she loved Lancelot romantically so she could become his pawn. Who knows what kind of fuckery he could pull with that chaos magic of his.
#jericho nnt#lancelot 4kota#nanatsu no taizai#seven deadly sins#7ds#four knights of the apocalypse#4kota#she got done sooooo dirty#someone had said this before but i'd actually like it if she sided with arthur for her brother gustav?#like arthur promised her to revive him or sth#instead of... this#i will be sticking to the 'arthur brainwashed jericho' theory from now on#as far as im concerned the brainwash trope has been used like a million times by nakaba#there's nothing saying that he wouldn't use it now#when every single character including jericho herself finds this gross as fuck and shocking as hell#in a “i cannot believe this how could someone like YOU do this” way

All right, all right!
Hear me out first! I've had some thoughts about Lancelot.
.
Okay, I think everyone's read the last chapter of SDS about Lance's disappearance and Jericho. At the end, there was a line about Lancelot returning under the moniker "prince of the lake."
.
But the question was raised in some people's minds "how?" if Lance himself said that no one, after fighting him, was left alive.
.
And now in the last chapter, Lancelot fights Nanashi, and when he saw Lance's magic, he realised its nature.
When the battle was over, Lance didn't kill Nanashi, they became friends.
.
So, my theory is that it's Nanashi who starts the rumour about Lancelot, which gives him the nickname "Lakeside".

Time for some ✨theories✨
What? New shady Chaos Knights? And one has Goddess powers? Oh no. Oh NO.
Who is this motherfucker? And what's he doing to best girl Gawain?
Okay I'm pretty sure this guy is either a more or less brainwashed Mael or some other kind of demon-goddess hybrid by the looks of his mask. (Very similar to Mael when he went apeshit in NNT). Very possible that he's some Goddess Zombie of a character we already know. Maybe some Archangels. Maybe not. His sleeves look similar to Mael's outfit too. Maybe Arthur infueled one of his knights with Goddess magic, maybe he straight up fused someone.
My guess is: this guy's the reanimated corpse of Denzel Liones mixed with Nerobasta's magic. Look at the sword. It would be fun to have them back if we ended up meeting Derriere's reincarnation *cough* Thetis? *cough*
Or maybe he's NANASHI?
Either way FACE REVEAL, WHEN?

I have a theory about who Gawains mother is and how she is blood related to Arthur!
So in Chapter 57 of "Four Knights of the Apocalypse" Tristan says "Gawain, the fourth Knight, is related by blood to our nemesis, King Arthur"
So at first I was confused and already had a theory about how that is possible.
Because in Nanatsu no Taizai we learn in the Extra Chapter 81.005 (the one where Arthur meets King Baltra) that he is adopted by a Knight aka Keis father. Therefore making Kei his older adoptive brother.
He doesn't mention anyone else and we don't really see anything more about Arthurs past (except the shots where Merlin teaches him some stuff but that isn't important here)
In Arthurian Legend the number and names of Arthurs siblings can change depending on which version you read.
But most well known are his adoptive brother and his half-sister Morgana/Morgause.
Oh and look at Morgauses Wikipedia article :)
I highlighted the important parts
And this was my first thought that Gawain was the daughter of Morgause and some random man. Not Arthur though otherwise we would have known she is his daughter from this moment on in Chapter 66 of 4KOTA.
Thankfully hopefully the incest plot isn't in there and Orlondi calls her his niece!
We do know that Kei is Gawains father though.
In Chapter 76 (4KOTA) Arthur says to Gawain "How worried did you think my big step-brother would be?"
So we now know that Kei is Gawains biological father and Morgause is most likely her biological mother.
So Arthur is her uncle on both sides (not in an illegal way though since Kei and Morgause aren't related)

4KOTA Theory
Nasiens is intentionally taken and hidden to never be found
Ever since Nasiens being Kiane's kid was being talked about. I always wondered who had the balls of steel to do this. I know fairies are tricksters but I don't think they're stupid enough to do something like this. Then, I realized something. I realized just how far away Echo Gorge is to the Forest.
From what we learned from this week's chapter the portal to the Fairy Realm is in the Original Fairy King's Forest which is located at the most northern part of Britannia while the New Fairy Kings Forest is much closer to the Kingdom of Liones, there's still a possibility that there is also a portal in the New Forest. But, regardless of that it is still a massive distance from Echo Gorge which is quite close to the ruins of Camelot which is located at the most Southern part of Britannia. They're literally at the opposite ends of the map. Which makes me think that whoever took Nasiens made sure that he was never found and by the looks of things the fairy who took Nasiens never came back to the Fairy Realm or the Forest because if they did King would demand that Fairy to bring his child back.
I am lowkey suspecting that Camelot is behind this. There's a possibility that they manipulated a fairy to do this, we already saw that Arthur made a fairy to transform into Merlin just for his own satisfaction. I wouldn't put it past Camelot to do something like this.

Why Percival is Helbram (This is mostly a joke theory)
I So like I said. This is mostly A joke theory. That being said there is a freaky amount of evidence towards it that I see.
1. Green
Let’s start simple, Percival and Helbram both have the same greenish hair. On top of that, Percivals dad (boo) looks a lot like the fairy hunter (double boo) in my opinion.
2. Relationship with death
OK SO HERE’S WHERE THIS GETS A BIT MORE INTERESTING. So first. We know Percival is the horseman of death. WHICH IS INTERESTING. So let’s examine Helbrams relationship with death for a minute. Here are some legend I think he parallels.
a) Green man. Green man is probably the most helbram like. Green man was a pagan diety with a strong connection with death and rebirth which makes sense since helbram died 3 times in the series (4 if you count his ghost.) and every time he was brought back in some way. Which is interesting, because he died the fourth time, and hasn’t come back yet. Iirc (Idk if this is right but I kinda remember it) but helbram said he’d be back. which makes sense if he’s the green man. It’s also interesting because percival has a symbol of reincarnation that he wears, a snake that eats itself,
This is double interesting cause. The og Percival doesn’t have that strong a relationship with death. Helbram really does.
b) the green knight. Ya know what? I could totally see Helbram coming back this way. Gawain and the green knight is a popular myth. that was until I thought about the connotations of this theory. Percival being the green knight would be a much more interesting situation. It would be a fight amongst allies that turned pretty bloody, and would involve some serious “power of love” to fix up.
3. The white rose. for those who haven’t read the wiki, helbram smells like white roses. not only that, but that was what King used to kill him the first time. It’s a very small detail, but it’s interesting to note that white roses symbolize innocence. It also for some means death, and if you were to look at the tarot card for death, some of them carry white roses, especially this one which is apparently popular for tarot
4. Death To humanity. Lastly I wanna think about how this theory could change the series. We don’t really know how reincarnation properly works in the series. Could past feelings be revived? What would happen if Percival was given helbrams memories, with the knowledge that they were his past life? I think that would be a lot, especially given how much grief helbram had after hundreds of years. Imagine how much that would do to percival, after seeing all of it in a second. It’d be an interesting conflict.
5. Dorky helmet. I said this was probably not a true theory, and as such, I’m gonna end it on a joke. They both carry their dorky helmets as a reminder of their pain.

Oh I didn't talk about Diane much did I. Ahe knew almost immediately that Melildas was a demon, at least on their second meeting. The topic never came up on their first meeting but she really didn't enjoy the lunch she had with him, the second meeting when Meliodas came to her trial was different though. When he said be wanted her foe the Aeven Deadly Sins the Knights who had killed Matrkna began to jeer at him. They knew once Melkodas stepped in they couldn't deny him, he had the authority fo the kingg to pick whichever criminal he wanted for the Sins, but it didn't stop their jeers and taunts about how the giant bitch ia lucky the King's pet demon stepped in and how Meliodas can have her. Let the monster stay together, afterall it's not like anyone else would accept them. Diane is pissed and almost attacks the Knights right there if not for Meliodas calmly patting her ankle.
Diane was kind of fine with herself being harassed. She didn't like it, obviously, but she was strong, she could take it.
She was much more upset when she saw any of her fellow Sins being harassed, especially Meliodas. And she absolutely hated the fact that everyone called him "the kings pet demon". Just because he's not human doesn't mean he's not a person! And he's definitely not a pet!
She asked Zaratras about that whole thing and he explained to her that because Meliodas is a demon but is loyal to King Baltra, most people think he's weak and/or that Baltra controls him somehow. That is not true, of course, but rumors spread fast, especially when that rumor is something bad against someone who is already disliked.
#well that's my theory at least but if you wanna tell me more I would love to know >-> :D#like seriously I'm loving this so far#sullina nnt#everyone knows au#nnt#nnt everyone knows au

I have a big theory about Gelda and Orlondi are brothers.
Has we know Gelda is clearly a vampire, but also Orlondi say it was a vampire behind being a floating eye or something else.
In one extra manga story we can see that both and some more vampires where close in some way, that makes me think that they hade some connection, even they were the only 2 vampires that survived, that's sus because Orlondi isn't a very important character, maybe is coincidence, but in the new film of Nanatsu no Taizai the trama go around Edinburg, the city attached for the vampires and it's possible that we will see some of orlondi and Geldas relation.
One least suport for the theory is that they have a similar palet color, like the hair and the eyes.
The only camera seconds whit Orlondi in his human form are in a cave, so the illumination and the enfocaron isn't so good, but we can see is quite similar to Gelda's
Also, if we took the palette color from his eye form, we can see the similarity, but the illumination of orlondi's image is diferent so it looks more greeny
Maybe they are just coincidences but I'm pretty sure that there is something between them, so i can't wait to see more of these two vampires.

Hi... long time no NnT-Analysis.
I want to talk about Lancelot and Tristan's dynamic. I'll be putting it under a read-more so I don't spam your dashboard.
First, let's take a look at their designs.
Tristan's Signature Color: Blue-ish Teal
Lancelot's Signature Color: Pink-ish Red
According to color theory, these two colors complement one another. Nakaba utilizes complementary colors quite often in his designs. You'll notice this in many of the most important pairs. It's a visual way to emphasize the connection between two people.
The use of complementary colors goes as far as Lancelot's Sin disguise. When he takes that form, he wears a teal collar... Just like how Tristan wears a collar with Lancelot's red.
Both of them also got their hair colors from their mother, while the style is more similar to their fathers. They have what has been described as a "feminine" appearance. Lancelot is incredibly bothered by this, to the extent he tries really hard to present as masculine. Tristan on the other hand doesn't seem to be bothered by it himself.
Their first volume covers also mirror one another.
Their namesakes are pulled from Arthurian mythos. In some of the original stories, Lancelot and Tristan do act similarly as friends who are "two sides of the same coin" in a way. Fated companions who counter one another.
Going into actual plot stuff now. The way their stories are intertwined, the particular tropes their relationship embodies, and why it's important.
The growth of both of their characters is often explored through their connection. For example, Lancelot first learned to read hearts while dueling Tristan.
Ban references the moment Lancelot received his scar here. Tristan was so excited while dueling his friend, that he lost control of himself. The heightened emotions awakened the dark magic in him that he inherited from his father. Tristan blacked out, striking Lancelot.
This was a significant moment for both of them. Tristan and Lancelot both experienced an "awakening" here, which set them down their respective paths and cemented their bond.
Lancelot is quite literally marked by him. With this scar, there will always be apart of him that is irreversible tied to his relationship with Tristan.
Additionally, the fact Tristan had hurt and permanently scarred Lancelot is what triggered Tristan's anxiety about fighting. It affected him so deeply that he began to fear combat, instead wanting to pursue a path of healing. So that it would never happen again.
The bulk of this film takes place when they're both 14. Which is a few years after Lancelot initially went missing. He felt the need to hide his identity, but even in his disguise, he wanted to somehow push Tristan to his peak performance.
This illustrates how Lancelot never once viewed him as a threat. Tristan isn't a monster to him... He wants to see him exercise the strength that Tristan is so terrified of.
(I wish this site had CC, but Lancelot wolf-whistles at him before this line...)
Lancelot knows Tristan well enough to be aware that these fears would hold him back in combat. He takes action when they fight together, pushing and prodding him until he is forced to conquer that fear and act.
Tristan's hesitancy comes from his care for Lancelot. He's terrified at the thought of ever hurting him-- or anyone-- again. Lancelot sees this differently. He views Tristan's attitude as if he's viewing Lancelot as someone weak who needs protection. He has faith in Tristan's strength and never doubts him. But that faith only makes things more complicated when Tristan avoids facing him. Lancelot knows he's capable and he wants to be his equal in that regard.
Earlier, I referenced Ban's comment in the one-shot where he wonders if Lancelot's behavior at that time had to do with this duel. There's an implication that part of why Lancelot felt so restless and inadequate had to do with Tristan's rejection. This was worsened by the fact that Lancelot had learned to read hearts, so he could see what Tristan must've been thinking in that moment. Tristan's concern doesn't come from viewing Lancelot as weak, but that's how Lancelot interpreted his heart and his words.
Between that and being babied by his parents, he lashed out and ran away to "prove himself." Which is how he went missing to begin with.
He didn't want to stop like Tristan did. He wanted to keep going. Tristan's strength motivated him, but Tristan didn't return those feelings because of his own self-loathing.
In the end, Lancelot is the one who convinces Tristan to embrace his power. He vowed to be there to stop Tristan in case things ever go too far.
Lancelot reads Tristan's heart in this moment and smiles to himself.
Lancelot's love for his friend manifests through his desire to propel Tristan to his peak potential. Through Lancelot's affection, Tristan changes forever. His pure faith in Lancelot and his intentions was all he needed to conquer his fears. To him, he doesn't need to be worried about losing himself, because he has Lancelot.
Many years pass since this moment, but Tristan still views Lancelot as that anchor he needs by his side. Tristan's control over his power has grown significantly, but he still fears using it without Lancelot by his side.
Something interesting about their dynamic in the present day is the way the dynamic has flipped. While Tristan respects Lancelot's power, now he is the one feeling weak in comparison. This is also a testament to the strength of their bond. While Tristan feels they're no longer "equal", it doesn't drive a wedge in their relationship. He isn't resentful or jealous, it doesn't push him away from Lancelot. Their bond is too strong for that.
Not to mention, what seems to bother him more than anything else is the fact that Lancelot won't discuss how he gained this new power. He's bothered by the way his friend vanished without a word for so long, and now refuses to talk about what happened.
Regardless, this just means that Tristan trusts Lancelot's abilities without question. The moment he arrives, Tristan believes so strongly in his ability to win above anyone else. If anyone can defeat the King of Camelot, it will be his closest companion.
Circling back to Lancelot being his anchor: This is pretty common in fantasy Shounen. Leading characters who possess dark magic often have a partner who they rely on to bring them back down, or stop them from going too far and losing themself. However, you usually see it between the leading male main character and the female secondary protagonist... In fact, this is the exact dynamic Meliodas and Elizabeth had with each other in the original manga.
This dynamic came up frequently whenever Meliodas went full-demon mode. But this page from the Holy War arc in particular really reminds me of Lancelot's line where he says he'll "beat Tristan into the dirt if he has to."
Considering these two are Tristan's parents, you'd think the parallel with Tristan would be between him and Isolde, or something. But it's not. It's with Lancelot.
Their chemistry is so natural. They spend some time apart, but nothing really changes. The play off of each other so easily and understand each other so deeply.
Lancelot teases him for a lot of things. Being air-headed, being childish around his parents, etc. But it isn't mean-spirited, and Tristan knows that. It's just an aspect of their relationship and one of the ways Lancelot shows affection to people. That's Tristan's best friend who is mean to him, but he still calls him by a cute little nickname ("Lance.")
The implications that Tristan has called Lancelot out for being like his father before is really funny. Quick lines like this convey a lot about a relationship, it demonstrates that familiarity.
I have a lot more I could say about them, but Tumblr apparently has a 30 image limit per-post. I'm just really excited to see what comes next for them in the timeskip. I suspect all of these building themes are going to come together in some pretty important ways the closer that we get to the main conflict of the sequel.
This analysis isn't necessarily meant to be shippy... But I do ship them, lol... ❤️
