20 Of The Best Fights In Netflix's "Seven Deadly Sins"

I must give a fair warning of 🚨SPOILERS🚨, so don't scroll any further if you haven't watched this incredible fantasy story. If you're still here, let's stroll down memory lane and run back some of the best fights. 

To kick off this list, I had to mention this short fight with Lord Twigo in the series premiere, which not only gave us a first look at his powerful attack "Full Counter" but also confirmed why this pint-sized man child has so much notoriety to his name. 

This fight made for another great moment in the first season, as we see Meliodas and Diane being tricked by the Holy Knight Ruin's illusion bell that pitted them against each other, believing the other to be the Holy Knight. This led to some great action and laughs as Meliodas is dodging around at one point with Elizabeth barely holding onto his back. In the end, the two figure out Ruin's trick, and Meliodas is quick to serve up the ass whooping that Ruin deserved.

While on the search for Diane's sacred treasure, Gideon, the Sins sign up for the annual fight tournament in Vaizel to win back Diane's gigantic war hammer. This leads to some pretty good fights, but none greater than Meliodas and Ban, whose name change didn't stray too far from their actual names due to Ban's cheeky personality. These two really go at it as they always do, but of course, Meliodas had to remind Ban why he's the only person to ever scar the immortal sin and why he's also the leader of this band of misfits. 

The first season finale really gave us some jaw-dropping moments, not only from the loss that the Sins and Holy Knights suffer from Hendrickson in his demon form but also Hawk's heart-tugging sacrifice. It not only took Elizabeth's powers manifesting and saving everybody, but also some strategy from Meliodas, which allowed him to show a new technique called the "Revenge Counter" that finally defeated the demonic Hendrickson. It was a great finish to the first season and just a taste of what we were gonna see from there on out. 

With Galand and Melascula giving chase to Ban and company, Jericho is able to drag Elaine and Ban to a hole in the wall bar that gives us our long last introduction to the final member of the Seven Deadly Sins: Escanor. The puny man donning glasses seems out of place considering the other members but it isn't until we see Galand make a deal with Escanor to a fight where the REAL Escanor comes to play. After knocking out the puny version of Escanor to the next day, we quickly see how important the sun is to Escanors power. This fight is just the beginning of many outings we get to enjoy with Escanor showing why he is one of the most powerful members of the Seven Deadly Sins. 

So I kind of cheated here and didn't mention any specific fight, I really just loved the overall arc and fights that took place during these few episodes. We see the revival of the Vaziel fighting tournament like in Season 1, but this time run by two of the Ten Commandments, Drole and Gloxinia, which made them not only endure a labyrinth of sorts but then pit each other to fight. This led to some pretty entertaining fights but was another sign of Escanors greatness as he saves his friends and others by diverting an attack from his opponent Gowther to Drole and Gloxinia. 

One of the more heartbreaking episodes of the series as we see our main hero lose his life to his former comrades of the Demon Clan. Now, just like Jon Snow, we all knew this wasn't going to be permanent but seeing his best friend Ban trying to save his life while Estarossa stabbed out Meliodas' multiple hearts was still gut-wrenching. He put up a hell of a fight throughout this battle and it further showed the bond that Ban and Meliodas share. 

With Meliodas coming back to life in his demon form, it was up to none other than Escanor to take him out temporarily while the gang figured out what to do next. The long-awaited battle between these two titans did not disappoint as we see them both use their full power. We also discover Escanor's high noon ultimate power, "The One," which for a minute makes him invincible. Another battle that reminds us who the most powerful members of the Seven Deadly Sins truly are. 

After suffering his defeat to Escanor, Estarossa goes on a mission to obtain all the Commandments for himself, therefore, becoming more powerful. This fight wasn't particularly long, but it was another moment where we empathize with a now reformed Monspeet and Derieri who are trying to move on from their former Demon clan lives. Unfortunately, it's short-lived as Estarossa shows up and not only kills the villager they had befriended, but also takes Monspeets life after Derieri makes an error which forces Monspeet to sacrifice himself to save his love. 

With Merlin still trying to delay the transformation of Meliodas into the Demon King, we get a showdown of former brothers as Mael comes to fight Zeldris with his renewed Archangel abilities. Zeldris, still being driven by Meliodas' promise to return his love to him, makes an all-out attempt to ensure his brother's transformation. It's a close contest although we do see why Mael was known as being the strongest of all the Archangels. It's a bittersweet victory though as Zeldris is defeated, but Demon King Meliodas makes his entrance. 

Seeing the reunion of Ban and Meliodas in purgatory and also their battle with the Demon King was not only awesome but somewhat tragic. Wild sacrifices himself to free his brother Hawk's comrades, only for Ban to be the one released from Purgatory while Meliodas is captured again by his father. 

While Meliodas is still battling his father in the Purgatory realm, we see Ban make his comeback to the mortal realm with not only newfound abilities but also with his immortality gone after giving it up to save his one true love, Elaine. His newfound skills not only allow him to stand toe to toe with the Demon King but also simultaneously gives him the ability to help free his best friend from Purgatory. It takes a combined effort from the rest of the Sins to change Meliodas back to his normal form, but damn if it wasn't Ban who really made it possible.
