SDSBackground

The Seven Deadly Sins Series,[note 1] also known as the Deadly Sins of Evil[note 2] series, is a multimedia series conceptualized and developed by Akuno-P. It belongs to mothy's larger Evillious Chronicles. Building upon his first major success with The Daughter of Evil, its first song, mothy has expanded upon the story with numerous songs, books, and manga. The tale describes the events caused by the "vessels of sin", seven demons possessing seven individuals in order to spread malice.

Setting[]

The series is set in Bolganio, a fictional continent in the series' world, with most of its major actions taking place in its western region, Evillious. The main storyline occurs throughout the Evillious timeline from the early EC 100s until the later EC 900s. Over the course of the story's history, the politics, technology, and culture of each country evolves and numerous countries are formed or destroyed during the course of the series. Many of the characters travel to and from these numerous countries throughout the plot and their politics plays a large role in the events taking place.

Terminology[]

Vessels of Sin[]

The vessels of sin[note 3] were seven relics inhabited by a Demon of Sin. Because of the individual demons dwelling within them, each vessel has unique magical powers. Using the vessels, their owners could wield the powers of the demons dwelling in them; however, the demons were able to possess those who came in contact with the vessel and influence their personality and actions.[3] While a demon could possess an individual, their essence remained in their vessel; as a result, the demon could be magically sealed and trapped inside the vessel, nullifying the vessel's effects.[10]

Venom Sword[]

VenomSwordIchika

The Venom Sword[note 4] was a Jakokuese sword with the language inscribed on its sheath inhabited by the Demon of Lust.[15] Those possessed by its demon acted impulsively, disregarding sensibility and virtue. The sword allowed the user to change a person's face or memory with its power. The owner could captivate those of the opposite sex with lustful infatuation; as part of a demon contract, the user's libido was increased but they also needed to regularly ingest life energy via sexual intercourse.[11]

Glass of Conchita[]

GlassConchitaIchika

The Glass of Conchita[note 5] was a red wine glass inhabited by the Demon of Gluttony. Those possessed by its demon had an increasingly abnormal appetite. The glass allowed the user to conjure a "Gula" pathogen and reanimate the dead. When contracted to the demon, the user could change their body's figure to a slimmer form and devour anything with rarely any damage to their health.[3]

Four Mirrors of Lucifenia[]

FourMirrorsIchika

The Four Mirrors of Lucifenia[note 6] was inhabited by the Demon of Pride; although originally a single mirror, it was split into four individual hand mirrors. Those possessed by its demon became more confident in themselves and act increasingly arrogant and self-indulgent. The demon could freely travel between any of the mirrors, making it impossible to trap unless all four mirrors were sealed.[10]

Clockworker's Doll[]

ClockworkersDollIchika

The Clockworker's Doll[note 7] was modeled after the appearance of the Original Sinner, Eve Moonlit, inhabited by Eve herself as the "Demon of Sloth". Eve originally used Mikulia Greeonio and her ancestors as her vessel before migrating to the doll. The Doll could cast a hypnosis upon its surroundings to make it be perceived as a normal human girl modeled in Eve's image. The hypnosis also affected Eve, causing her consciousness to "sleep" while living out the life of her current incarnation.[16]

Twin Blades of Levianta[]

KayosScissors

The Twin Blades of Levianta[note 8], later became known as Kayo's Scissors[note 9] was inhabited by the Demon of Envy that were eventually reforged into two pairs of scissors.[7] Those possessed by its demon became envious of others and obsessively coveted what they had.

Marlon Spoon[]

MarlonSpoonIchika

The Marlon Spoon[note 10] was a spoon inhabited by the Demon of Greed. Those possessed by its demon became excessively greedy and valued material possessions above all else. The spoon naturally attracted wealth to itself, blessing its owner with good fortune in business. The spoon also allowed the user to conjure and manipulate blue flames.[17]

Grim the End[]

GoldenKeyIchika

Grim the End [note 11], also known as the Golden Key [note 12] was a vessel without a definite form inhabited by the Demon of Wrath. The vessel could change shape with changes in rage, taking the form of a key, knife, sword or bullet.[18] Grim the End could also take the form of organic beings such as octopi or even humans. Those possessed by its demon acted increasingly angry or vengeful. The demon's vessel was capable of injuring the Demons of Sin and inflict damage to those possessed by them.[11]

Mental World[]

A mental world[note 13] was a space within an individual's mind that made real all of their memories and emotions. Everyone inside the space also appeared as their true selves because of this. It could be summoned by the second model of Black Box Type S.[19]

Songs[]

After the success of The Daughter of Evil and its subsequent series, mothy posted multiple Vocaloid songs tagged with the Latin names for the Seven Deadly Sins in the years afterward; The Daughter of Evil was later tagged as "Pride" in the series.[20] It has since grown in popularity, with more than half of its songs reaching over a million views on their original Nico Nico Douga posting. As the centerpiece for Akuno-P's interconnected Evillious Chronicles, the series has bridged into every other series, especially the Clockwork Lullaby Series, and gained numerous independent songs related to it. Following the release of the last song in the series, an album featuring all seven songs was announced by Akuno-P for release on February 25, 2015.
