Worst Defeat: Physically, Diane is one of the strongest characters in the series. However, there is a limit to how much a person can achieve with their strength.

Before losing his immortality, however, Ban was able to withstand the harsh conditions of the purgatory, which is undoubtedly his biggest feat.
Worst Defeat: Ban had the gift of immortality, which allowed him to be reckless in fights. Normally, he would just outlast his opponent because nothing could wound him.

Race: Human (Wiseman Clan)

2
Escanor
Race: Human
Close
Escanor is undoubtedly the most loved character in the series. He is responsible for some of the most iconic quotes in the series. He was treated like a monster because of his powers. Escanor only found his place when he joined the Seven Deadly Sins. Since Meliodas’ power was stolen, Escanor remained the strongest character in the group until the end of the series.
Escanor had the power of Sunshine, which allowed him to grow stronger during the day and left him weak at night. His power peaked at noon, and, for precisely one minute, he became invincible. Escanor found a way to bypass the limitation, but it needed him to convert his own life force, but, it came at the cost of his own life, so Escanor only used it as the final resort.
Biggest Achievement: Only a handful of characters could dare to stand up to the might of Escanor. His unique ability allowed him to defeat powerful enemies such as Estarossa, Galand, Drole, and Gloxina, without any problems. His biggest moment in the series came during his fight with the Demon King, whom he tried to stop by putting his own life on the line.
Worst Defeat: Escanor is the only character among the Seven Deadly Sins who didn’t suffer an excruciating defeat. He stood tall till the very end and never faltered, even in the face of grave danger. Suffice it to say, he stayed true to his prideful nature even in death.
Best Power: Escanor’s The One was his ultimate ability. For exactly one minute during noon, Escanor reached the peak of his physical powers. In this form, Escanor was considered to be invincible. He could stand his ground against the biggest and most powerful characters.

Meliodas
Race: Demon
Close
Meliodas is the captain of the Seven Deadly Sins, and easily the strongest member of the crew. He is the main protagonist of the series. Meliodas is the first member of the group to be introduced in the series. At the beginning of the series, Meliodas was already stronger than most of the characters, and over time, he gained even more power.
Towards the end, Meliodas was head and shoulders above any other member of the group. He possesses incredible fighting skills, which he has displayed on numerous occasions in the series. Being the son of the Demon King, Meliodas is filled with incredible strength, which is one of the key reasons why his father chose him as his successor.
Biggest Achievement: Meliodas has fought against many strong enemies, but the biggest test of his skills came when he had to go up against his father, the Demon King. Meliodas struggled quite a lot to take him down, but, eventually, he mattnaged to complete the task.
Worst Defeat: Meliodas has lived for a much longer time than any human. Even though he is levels above most charhacters in the series, Meliodas has been on the losing side a few times. When he unlocked his assault mode, Meliodas faced Escanor. The latter used the One to force Meliodas into a corner and defeat him. Meliodas was not in his senses, so he couldn’t make sense of the loss.
Best Power: Meliodas’ Full Counter is by far and above his strongest ability. With this power, he can reflect an attack with double the power. This ability can only be used against physical attacks. Meliodas cannot use Full Counter against magic attacks.
