Is ‘The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh’ considered canon? Explanation

Seven Deadly Sins, an anime adaptation of the popular Japanese fantasy manga series written and illustrated by Nakaba Suzuki, has been a fan favorite since its first release in October 2014. The series is set in the fictional world of Britannia, where a group of knights, known as the Seven Deadly Sins, was disbanded after being falsely accused of plotting to overthrow the Liones Kingdom. The story follows the journey of the Sins, along with the princess of the Liones Kingdom, Elizabeth, as they seek to clear their name and defeat the real culprits who are threatening the peace of the kingdom.

Since its debut, Seven Deadly Sins has gained immense popularity among anime fans worldwide, and it has garnered positive reviews for its action-packed storyline, unique characters, and beautiful animation. With the end of the fifth season, a huge growth was noticed in the viewership compared to the end of the first season.

In 2022, Netflix released Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh, a movie that is entirely based on the manga series written by Nakaba Suzuki. The movie is considered canon and is said to be a prequel to the second part, which is yet to be announced. However, fans were initially unsure about whether the movie was part of the original series’ canon or if it was another media production operating all by itself.

Despite some criticism, including concerns about the quality of the animation, characters, and plot, many fans expressed their views about the improvement in the overall quality of the movie. One of the main questions that stood out was whether the movie was considered canon to the original Seven Deadly Sins series.

Fortunately, in September 2022, Netflix Japan’s Tudum anime spotlight brought a conclusion to all the doubts in the fandom about the movie being canon. During the event, Suzuki Nakaba, the writer of the original manga, confirmed that the Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh is a part of the original series’ universe. He left a written note that further mentioned the movie is a continuation of the series and fans should not miss the opportunity to get the most out of the situation.

According to Suzuki, the two movies serve as the missing link between the original series and Four Knights of the Apocalypse. Tristan, the son of Meliodas and Elizabeth, is the main character in the movie, and fans will also see the Seven Deadly Sins. A certain fan favorite is also coming back in this movie, but Suzuki did not give any further details.

The movie follows Tristan’s journey as he travels to Edinburgh Castle, where he meets some new friends. 14 years after the Kingdom of Liones destroyed the Demon Clan, Tristan is quite worried about his mother who is in danger. To safeguard his family, he travels to Edinburgh in search of Deathpierce, a former Holy Knight. The movie comprises his journey and the adventures he faces during it.

Despite some mixed reviews, including criticisms about the plot and characters, many fans have appreciated the animation, music, and screenplay. The franchise is expected to progress positively through its upcoming projects, and hopefully, the sequel will bring some improvement in the plot and characters. The movie serves as a must-watch for fans of the series, as it is considered part of the original Seven Deadly Sins’ canon and contributes to the overall story.
