Early on, it was difficult to rank the characters. Besides physical strength, several other things also play a role in determining where a specific character stands in terms of power. But, after the conclusion of the series, it is easy to rank the characters.

Updated March 27, 2025, by Suzail Ahmad: Nakaba Suzuki's Seven Deadly Sins is among the most loved manga series of the last two decades. The author has received criticism for some of their choices related to the story, but overall, Seven Deadly Sins provides a fun experience.

As a shonen, Seven Deadly Sins has many powerful characters who are blessed with all kinds of abilities. For these individuals, getting the best of their opponents is a piece of cake. But not everyone character has the same level of power. The strongest characters in the Seven Deadly Sins are much superior to the rest in terms of physical strength and magical abilities. The post has been updated with more information to make it easier for readers to understand the strength of each individual.

18 Monspeet

Intelligent Fighter With Indura Form

  • Race: Demon
  • Strongest Ability: Indura

Monspeet was a member of the Demon Clan and one of the Ten Commandments. He possessed the Commandment of Reticence, which did not boost his fighting abilities. As a result, Monspeet had to rely on his own strength to defeat his opponents. Monspeet's power level was noted to be at 53,000, which is very high, and he could further increase it by unleashing his Indura form.

To activate the Indura form, Monspeet had to sacrifice six of his seven hearts, making it a risky move, but the amount of power that it granted made the risk worthwhile. In addition to the Indura form, Monspeet was also able to use an ability called Trick Star, which allowed him to switch two objects with each other. His most lethal attack is called Hellblaze, with which he could block the regeneration of an immortal. Monspeet also had a great deal of resilience, which was demonstrated when he fought against Tarmiel, one of the Archangels.

17 Derieri

Derieri was a member of the Ten Commandments and possessed the Commandment of Purity. The Commandment was bestowed upon her by the Demon King, and it became active if someone committed impure deeds in her presence, which caused the Commandment to inflict the person with an illness.

Derieri's physical abilities were quite impressive and her innate power, Combo Star, could prove to be lethal if she was allowed to attack consistently. Derieri's Combo Star kept adding 200,000 pounds of force to the next attack until she was interrupted, in which case she would have to start all over again. Like Monspeet, Derieri also had access to the Indura Form, but she only ever used it as a last resort.

Diane's powers increased by many folds after she went through Drole's trial and learned how to use Drole's Dance.
