story

The story of "The Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of the Commandments" begins with Meliodas, the Seven Deadly Sins, Elizabeth, and Hawk, who have reclaimed the kingdom from the rule of the two great Holy Knights, Hendrickson and Dreyfus, safely completing the kingdom's birthday festival and bringing peace to the Kingdom of Liones.

In order to prevent the resurrection of the Demon Clan, Meliodas and his friends must once again throw themselves into battle.
