Seven Deadly Sins' Power Levels Explained
In The Seven Deadly Sins, we can define power levels as a numerical value that determines a character's fighting skills.
Initially, the most important characters adhering to the power levels in question were the titular Seven Deadly Sins: a group of cruel and powerful individuals and, the strongest of the Holy Knights.
These seven characters are:
- Meliodas (Wrath)
- Merlin (Gluttony)
- King (Sloth)
- Diane (Envy)
- Ban (Greed)
- Gowther (Lust)
- Escanor (Pride)
Mangaka Nabaka Suzuki is currently working on The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse spin-off, which features more powerful characters beyond the main seven such as Percival and Lancelot.
Power levels in The Seven Deadly Sins can initially seem a bit complicated because the numbers they're associated with stem from modest to huge.
Essentially, each character's power level is the sum of three main modifiers: physical strength, magic, and spirit.
Spirit, which might seem like the least tangible modifier, is associated with one's level of willpower.
A magical item known as Balor's Magical Eye calculates one's power level.
Generally speaking, one's level can increase with training and experience. However, power levels don't always remain stable and can change depending on the situation.
The most prominent example is Escanor, whose power level starts the day at a mere 15, only to increase to over 100,000 around noon.
What Is the Highest Power Level in The Seven Deadly Sins?
There is no known max power level in The Seven Deadly Sins as the most powerful characters have hundreds of thousands of points and the potential to keep growing.
The strongest character in the main series is most likely Meliodas. Throughout the series, the character has a track record of constant growth.
By the 29th volume of The Seven Deadly Sins manga his power level is as high as 142,000, although his personal distribution of power, magic, and spirit are not determined.
Others feel that Escanor is even stronger when at his most powerful, but his constant fluctuations and low starting point mean that Meliodas outranks him most of the time.
That being said, mythical beings like the archangels can score over 200,000.
Since The Seven Deadly Sins doesn't specify a max level, the highest power level is, essentially, the strongest character's level at any given time.
