The Seven Deadly Sins manga concluded in March 2020. It ended with a reflective approach, but the last chapter seemed very abrupt and left fans bummed.
However, the series is not ending yet. Just like Dragon Ball and Naruto, The Seven Deadly Sins has shown promise to return with more sequels and spinoffs.
A tweet by the official account of Weekly Shonen Magazine confirmed our hopes and announced an upcoming one shot of The Seven Deadly Sins manga.
A one-shot is a stand-alone chapter that may or may not be related to an ongoing series. It conveys the full plot with no continuation pending.
The new one-shot of The Seven Deadly Sins will focus on Lancelot, the son of Elaine and Ban. The one-shot will be published in the issue 36-37 of Weekly Shonen Magazine.
Chapter 346 of the manga ended with Ban naming his child Lancelot and Meliodas naming his child Tristan.
The one-shot deals with the new generation rather than the original heroes. We might get to see brand new adventures and powers and maybe even a new series.
The next issue of Weekly Shonen Magazine (35th issue on 5th August) will contain the announcement for season 4 of The Seven Deadly Sins anime.
The fourth season titled The Seven Deadly Sins: Anger’s Judgement, was initially slated for an October 2020 release but is now delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Season 4 Plot Predictions
The plot concept has not been officially announced yet, but it can be predicted to some extent by following the manga. Though a lot of the storyline has been covered, the 4th season may not be the last one.
Melodias will have to face the ten commandments. His relation with Elizabeth is getting more and more complex. The New Holy War Arc will continue in the next season. The seven knights will commit the seven sins from the Kingdom.
About The Seven Deadly Sins
Elizabeth Lionnes, princess of Lionnes Kingdom, embarks upon a journey to find the most vicious criminals Seven Deadly Sins (Nanatsu no Taizai).
They are Meliodas(Dragon’ sin of Wrath), Ban (Fox’ sin of Greed), Dianne (Serpent’s sin of Envy), Merlin (Boar’s sin of Gluttony), Escanor (Lion’ sin of Pride), Gowther (Goat’s sin of Lust) and King (Grizzly’ sin of Sloth).
Ten years ago, all the sins were banished from the Kingdom after they were wrongly framed for the murder of Great Holy Knight, Zaratars.
Now, the Kingdom is about to fall in the hands of the corrupt Holy Knights, and Elizabeth must find the Sins and their leader Meliodas to save the Kingdom.
