[Notice me Escanor senpai]

If it were "Rust," the Japanese should be ラスト I think. In the same idea, "bane" should be ベイン. I won't rule out Rust completely, but ヴァ specifically indicates a "v" sound as opposed to "b."

I just got home from work, and can finally look at the images on the first post (work internet blocks random images for some reason). I didn't realize that the images included pictures of the sacred treasures and you're right, Courechouse looks like a segmented staff.

We have another semi-confirmation that appears legit as it was pointed out to me by a friend: 神斧 リッタ = Divine Axe Rhitta: Rhitta is a giant in Celtic folklore. Makes sense to me. See this link: http://www.celtnet.org.uk/legends/rhith_gawr.html

Thanks, yeah I think rust could fit, as for bane it prolly doesn't, but then again we have Harrito that got translated to Herritt or even Harlot.
So it could Rhitta, I was quite curious about that. It seems like a perfect fit, since that axe is pretty big.
Thanks for these clarifications, your posts are very helpful, as always

I wonder what Merlin's actual race is then considering that it is blotted out, perhaps it will have some importance in the future. It seemed clear cut that she would be labelled a witch or something but rather she is just placed as unknown, well it confirms at least that she isn't human so the 7 deadly sins are composed of one species each at this point.

 

[Notice me Escanor senpai]

Maybe this brings back the possibility of her being a succubus(if that option was ever on the table lol). I mean she would normally be associated with the sin of lust,instead she's the sin of gluttony. Well I think she should be a hybrid, born from an incubus and a woman just like in the legends.

Same with Merlin.
Arthurian one's father was a fiend.
And her freaking Sacred Treasure is MORNING STAR.
Religious fun fact.
Morning Star is another name for not just anyone but THE biblical Lucifer.

Also, in Welsh versions of the tale, Merlin's mother is named Aldan, who was a nun. This version also identifies his father is a "devil".

Maybe Merlin is also hybrid of sorts as well?

Quested on Wikipedia for a bit and found an article about the lamia. Sounds interesting. They are also connected to witchcraft and magic and are classically seen as a once beautiful woman who was turned into a gluttonous beast that eats children. Just a bit of food for though. However, there is a bit of snake and envy motif with them too.

Escanor is human? That's odd...

 

[Notice me Escanor senpai]

I didn't expect that really.And he's 40, so he must look old like in the poster yay. Unless he doesn't age too...
Are all the Sins right handed? It would be weird if none of them is a left handed person.

Meliodas is left handed.

Can the first part in Mel's sword be "Rust"? If you look at it the dagger's edge is kinda dark, like if it was covered in rust. Also Mel using a rusty sword wouldn 't be too far fetched since he says that he doesn't like to use a sword(and the other one was broken too). As for the last part it looks to me that it could be Vein, but is it possible for it to be actually "bane"? So the full name could be Rustbane.Just trying to make some sense from it
I don't think Nakaba is going for historical accuracy while coming up with the names, so having a staff as a weapon isn't that weird, and it looks to me that Ban's weapon is a three section staff, while a nunchaku has two sections. Also it's possible that Ban can switch between a form with only one section (whole length) to a three section form. I would be impressed if his weapon could do that.

Uhhh... Not sure if you guys noticed but

Spoiler

That's four sections.

Two with bandages to hold onto and two bandage-free.

Hmmm... So is it Catastrophe or Disaster? Either way, the name of his ability still bugs me >.>;;;

This is the first time we hear about the Former King. I wonder if they were related or if King was given the title because of his power?

 

[Incognitop]

lol so the scary 3 of the sins are meliodas, merlin, and escanor

Different translations. Essentially it's still the same, in the anime(episode 9) it's said Disaster.

This is quite interesting, Escanor respects the ones who are the most feared . I really want to see how these 3 interact with each other.

I would think that the profile would just flat out say "fear" rather than the roundabout way it's written. Plus if it was fear, it wouldn't gel with what we've seen in the interactions. Ban doesn't want to have Mel be his enemy, but that sure as hell didn't stop him from trying to kill him in the Kingdom Infiltration arc. I think it's more of a caution thing than flat out fear.

Thing with Matrona is very interesting seeing that's the name of a Celtic Goddess.

Same with Merlin.
Arthurian one's father was a fiend.
And her freaking Sacred Treasure is MORNING STAR.

Morning Star is another name for not just anyone but THE biblical Lucifer.



Really looking forward to Escanor if he can apparently scare King and Diane.



Lastly:
Merlin and Mel don't want each other as enemies?
Wondering if that also implies they see each other as equals.

I wonder what is the possibility that Merlin is from the Goddess clan? I mean her sacred treasure is Morning Star which is the title of Lucifer before he was a fallen angel... Considering that there aren't much major clans left out there and we have Melodias accounting for the Demon clan it, and Escanor is apparently human.

Doesn't seem likely either that Merlin is a mixed demon or came from such a clan considering her fascination appears to be more an outsider. I wonder if there is a possibility that she herself like Lucifer is a fallen Goddess of sort, and her age being blotted out rather than a secret (as normal fanbooks for women who want to hide their ages tend to do) may be a plot point itself.

 

[HereNThere]

Ban's considered a human as well isn't he? Escanor and Merlin potentially be "cursed" or "modified" humans as well. Then there is the fact that there are other clans that aren't especially major, but still somewhat unique like the Druid clan.

However, I do like the idea that she is a fallen Goddess, but I wonder if that would encroach on Elizabeth's potential role. Plus, if she is a fallen Goddess, I'd think she'd have a healing ability of some sorts seeing as how the Goddess clan seem to specialize in those things. Then again, that might explain the roundabout answer she gave to Hawk when they discussed healing Elizabeth. She put so much focus on the Druids ability to heal, but took away attention from Elizabeth's healing ability.

yeah i had the same idea. Ban is still human, he's just immortal thanks to the fountain.
Escanor being human, but with some kind of curse or some other thing would explain his profile.

and i can definitely see Merlin being a fallen goddess or something. Might explain why 80% of the male characters are so thirsty around her
