Mael (nanatsu no taizai)

Mael's transformation
Mael has long, curly silver hair and blue eyes. He possesses two pairs of angel wings, the first being larger than the second. He appears to be very muscular. He wears a tunic with several buttons, striped trousers, and sandals. 3,000 years ago, he wore armor bearing the symbol of the Goddess Clan on his chest.

After absorbing the Commandment of Purity, Mael undergoes a transformation. He develops six large wings on his back, three white on the left and three black on the right. He wears a long dress that covers his entire body, adorned with images of shimmering light in the background and black lines at the top of the sleeves. He also wears a horned helmet and a long cloak bearing the symbols of the four Commandments he absorbed, covering his face.

Estarossa's Assault Mode
Estarossa is a very tall and muscular man, and he wears a long yellow coat (blue in the anime) with gold gauntlets and boots (silver in the anime). He closely resembles Meliodas's wanted poster. He has silver hair and a noticeable beard. He also has the same demonic mark as Meliodas and Zeldris, but unlike Meliodas, it's above his left eye, similar to Zeldris's.

After absorbing the Commandment of Truth, Estarossa's appearance remains virtually unchanged, except that his forearms and legs become shrouded in darkness, and he gains a circle of dark spikes on his back. Upon absorbing the Commandment of Reticence, he transforms a second time, his entire body covered in darkness, similar to Meliodas's Assault Mode.

Personality
Although ruthless towards demons, considering them trash and showing no remorse for the number he killed, Mael appears to have been a kind person to those not associated with the Demon Clan, expressing deep remorse for killing so many innocents and his family when he recalls what happened. He possessed enough willpower to transform himself from a coward incapable of harming an insect to the most powerful of the Four Archangels. He was also very proud of the high regard Ludociel had for him. He doesn't seem to be sadistic towards demons despite his hatred for them, preferring to use a technique that gives them a painless death rather than striking them first. After regaining his memories, under the influence of the Commandments, Mael took revenge on Gowther for what he had done to him. He has become sadistic towards those who ally themselves with Gowther, relishing the pain Gowther felt when King suffered intense agony from his attack. However, he still seems to consider his fellow Archangels as allies, greeting them cordially, clearly surprised by their opposition. While fighting them and King, he never attacks them, only inflicting serious damage on King. This changes after absorbing the Commandment of Purity, where he doesn't hesitate to attack anyone, even Elizabeth. After Gowther invaded Mael's mind and revealed the reasons why the Archangel was chosen by the demon Gowther to become "Estarossa," Mael felt deep remorse for his past indiscriminate killing of demons, which allowed him to expel the Commandments from within. Free from the Commandments' influence, Mael didn't hesitate to save Gowther. Afterward, Mael hesitated about whether to continue fighting in the Holy War, wondering if he should fight to defeat the Demon Clan as a member of the Goddess Clan. It was only after Elizabeth asked for his help in ending the Holy War that he joined the clan.

It was only after Elizabeth asked for his help in ending the Holy War that he joined the battle.

It's impossible to read what he's really thinking or feeling, just like Meliodas... But what worries me most is that inexplicable feeling of unease and discomfort that radiates from him... As if something is out of place... I can't understand the source of it... But regardless, he's a strange man.
Cusack's point of view on Estarossa

Estarossa appears to have a relaxed demeanor. When Meliodas appears and threatens the Ten Commandments, he doesn't seem overly affected by the situation. However, beneath this aloof exterior, he hides a sadistic and cold side. He cites Meliodas's cruelty as one of the traits he most admired, and he clearly enjoys torturing his estranged brother as punishment for betraying their kind. Yet, he wept upon killing Meliodas, implying that he still harbors feelings for his older brother.

Estarossa seems to enjoy fighting for his own sake. For example, he stated that he wanted to fight alongside his brothers for the Demon King's throne, though he confesses to not being interested. Consequently, his motivations are rather unclear, as he doesn't actually run for the Demon King's throne and prefers to "win" over Elizabeth. He does seem to show some respect for strong opponents like Escanor, whose name he asked because he felt he was worth considering.

Zeldris hinted that Estarossa might crave more power, warning him against attempting to steal the Commandments they were meant to retrieve. Furthermore, Estarossa himself didn't hesitate to suggest killing his fellow Commandments to acquire their special abilities more quickly, demonstrating that he didn't care about them at all, except perhaps Zeldris. This was further demonstrated when he mercilessly killed the petrified Galand simply because Zeldris would take too long to free him. His lust for power was further revealed later, as he preferred to possess all the Commandments for himself rather than give them to Zeldris or Meliodas.

F

Finally, it is revealed that Estarossa appears to be a mentally unstable man. Monspeet mentioned that his mind and soul have been slowly consumed by his Commandment, leaving him with an unstable mentality. His thirst for power is what drives him now.

History
3000 years ago
Mael was one of the Four Archangels of the Goddess Clan and the younger brother of Ludociel. In his youth, Mael was rejected by his clan for being a coward, incapable of harming even an insect. During this time, Mael deeply admired his older brother and aspired to be like him.

It was also during this time that he met the goddess. Elizabeth fell in love with him, as she was the only person, besides his brother, who never made fun of him. However, Elizabeth, who only had eyes for Meliodas, did not reciprocate his feelings. Despite this, Mael always watched her from a distance and told Ludociel about his feelings for Elizabeth. His older brother then promised to fix things between them. However, Mael was devastated when Elizabeth finally fell in love with Meliodas.

At one point, Mael faced Bellion, leader of the Six Black Knights, when Bellion attacked a Celestial Temple and demonstrated his overwhelming superiority by nearly burning it down effortlessly until Meliodas intervened. The outcome of their fight is unknown, given how evenly matched they appeared to be in power.

Mael is first mentioned when Ludociel asks Nerobasta to call him during the attack on Stigma's headquarters.

According to Ludociel, Mael was killed at some point by Estarossa of the Ten Commandments. However, it was revealed that this was a false memory forged by the demon Gowther.[5] Seeking to end the Holy War, Gowther used a forbidden spell and reforged the memories of Mael and everyone else about the Archangel, granting him a new identity as the second son of the Demon King, under the name "Estarossa," since the Demon Clan needed someone with the same power as Meliodas to join them and restore the balance of power, but also as revenge against Mael for having murdered his lover, Glariza.

Now part of the Demon Clan, Mael received the Commandment of Love that Meliodas had abandoned, becoming a member of the Ten Commandments. Mael's supposed death was so devastating to the Goddess Clan that it forced them to seal the Coffin of Eternal Darkness. Estarossa was sealed away by the Goddess Clan along with the rest of the Demon Clan, bringing the Holy War to an end.

Skills and equipment
As one of the Four Archangels, Mael is an extremely powerful goddess, one of the strongest in her clan, rivaled only by her brother and Elizabeth, and surpassed only by the Supreme Deity. Like all members of the Goddess Clan, she possesses wings that grant her the ability to fly. [6] Despite initially being weak, Ludociel knew that Mael possessed immense potential and could surpass him in the future. [7] True to Ludociel's beliefs, Mael became the strongest of the Four Archangels. [8] Her older brother, the leader of the Four Archangels, openly admits that he is unable to match Mael's power when her Grace reaches its peak at noon. [9] With her mere presence, she was able to use her Grace to completely obscure the darkness of Bellion, the leader of the Six Knights in Black, and inflict great damage upon him. Mael is so powerful that after Meliodas betrayed the Demon Clan, to upset the balance of power, Gowther was forced to transform him into Estarossa to tip the war in favor of the Demon Clan, forcing the Goddess Clan to perform the Coffin of Eternal Darkness. [10] His power as the strongest of the Four Archangels is far superior to his power as Estarossa, since while Estarossa was considerably overwhelmed by the Commandments, upon regaining his memories and power as Mael, he proved capable of completely controlling the Commandments within his body. [11] The Commandments within him also serve as a replacement for the Grace he possessed, further increasing his power, [12] as demonstrated by how he manages to overwhelm King, Sariel, and Tarmiel simultaneously, severely injuring King and only losing due to being caught off guard. [ 13 ] Even after suffering severe injuries from Derieri's beating, he was still able to instantly kill her with his Kyusai no Ya and successfully absorb the Commandment of Purity.

As demonstrated by how he manages to pressure King, Sariel, and Tarmiel simultaneously, he severely injures King and only loses by being taken by surprise. [13] Even after suffering severe injuries from Derieri's beating, he was still able to instantly kill her with his Kyusai no Ya and successfully absorb the Commandment of Purity. [14]

At this point, Mael's power level skyrockets to over 200,000, and his magic power alone was enough to terrify King, Diane, and Gowther, with Elizabeth even telling them to run upon sensing Mael's power. [15] After regaining Sunshine, he easily dispels Original Demon's Darkness spell and overpowers his attacks after boosting his power with Crisis. [16] Mael possesses tremendous speed, as shown when he attacks Gowther before he can react [17] and instantly appears behind King right after he knocks him down, [18] in addition to easily catching Zeldris off guard. [19] He also possesses immense levels of durability and physical strength, as shown when he emerges completely unharmed after taking a direct hit from King's True Spirit Spear Chastiefol [20] and easily stops his Sabaki no Yari with one hand. [21] Both Sariel and Tarmiel had to use their Graces to the fullest to restrain him, and he was able to withstand a violent beating from Derieri without showing any signs of pain despite bleeding profusely. He survived long enough to reason with Tarmiel into ceasing her attack and then effortlessly killed Derieri and absorbed her Commandment. [22][23] With a single punch, he was able to knock Zeldris backward and cause him to bleed. He is also an extremely skilled swordsman, as shown when he kills a group of demons with great ease [24] and gains the upper hand over Zeldris in a sword fight. Mael is fully capable of fighting unarmed, on par with Meliodas or Zeldris, even imbuing his physical combat with Sunshine techniques.

Possessing the Commandments of Love, Truth, and Restraint has granted Mael tremendous dark powers while also retaining the vast light powers he possessed. [26] He is even able to blend them, creating a sphere of pure light and darkness, [27] generating a sword of light and dark energy in both hands, [28] and firing destructive beams of light and darkness, a single one of which was enough to destroy Tarmiel's physical form. [29] After absorbing the Commandment of Purity, Mael is able to combine the Commandments' curses with his light magic, as demonstrated by how he blended the Commandment of Love with his light powers to unleash a devastating blast that severely injured and would have killed Diane and King without causing them any pain, instead simply putting them to sleep until they eventually died. [ 30 ]He has also become immune to the powers of the Goddess Clan and the Demon Clan, and only a Fairy, a Giant or a Human, as well as a direct attack on Mael's psyche, have a chance of defeating him

After receiving a Commandment from the Demon King, he becomes an extremely powerful demon. Like all members of the Demon Clan, he can manipulate the mysterious jet-black power of darkness for a variety of purposes, such as forming a sphere for battle [32] and wings for flight. [33] His aura, combined with the auras of the other Ten Commandments, is so terrifying that it caused the normally calm Hendrickson to sweat in fear at his presence. [34] Estarossa has the power to turn other living creatures into demons, similar to the effects of drinking the blood of the Red Demon. [35] Those incompatible with the power will explode. [36][37] A hint of his true power is given when fellow Commandments Drole and Gloxinia are surprised to see someone else with a level of magical power similar to their own. [38] According to Cusack; Estarossa's power may be even greater than Zeldris's,[39] which has been proven true, as he was able to avoid being completely immobilized by Meliodas's attack in his Assault Mode, while Zeldris was completely unable to move even while using the Demon King's power, forcing Meliodas to use more of his power to completely immobilize him.[40] After learning Admonition from Zeldris, Estarossa now has the ability to remove Commandments and has also demonstrated knowledge of the ritual to absorb the Commandments into himself, doing so to absorb the Commandments of Truth and Reticence.

Estarossa possesses immense levels of speed and strength, displaying a fighting style that revolves around punches, piercing attacks, and brute force. He instantly moved behind Ban to attack Meliodas. [43] When Ban attempted to break his neck or steal his strength with Hunter Fest, he acted as if nothing was wrong, demonstrating just how astonishing his physical strength is. [44] He easily overwhelmed Sariel and Tarmiel with his Killing Saucer before they could react and managed to easily pierce Tarmiel's chest, although the latter quickly escaped with his Ocean Grace. He also possesses immense durability and stamina, as demonstrated by his complete unfazed status under Ban.Fox Hunt's attack [45] and his survival of Escanor's Cruel Sun and Pride Flare after being hit at point-blank range. [46] He remained completely unharmed by Monspeet's massive Hellfire when the latter used it against him as a last resort to try and stop him. [47] He even received praise from two of the Four Archangels for facing Elizabeth's Ark and remaining unharmed, [48] charging straight through her Vengeful Saint attack without sustaining any damage and surviving her Enlil no Tenbatsu long enough to absorb a Commandment. [49] Estarossa's exceptional resistance to the Goddess Clan's Light Magic compared to other Demons is explained by the fact that Estarossa was a Goddess by birth, before being transformed into a Demon by the Commandment of Love. After absorbing the Commandment of Truth, Estarossa becomes far more powerful than before, as he was able to escape the God Domain that Tarmiel and Sariel unleashed to imprison him, something impossible for anyone who did not possess raw power exceeding that of two Archangels. Somehow, he was also able to nullify Tarmiel's ability to use Ocean to liquefy and avoid Sariel's Tornado, breaking all of Tarmiel's bones, as well as briefly demolishing Tarmiel with a single attack.

Tarmiel was astonished at how much his power had grown, stating that it rivaled even his and Sariel's combined. His durability and regeneration become so great that he can survive and quickly regenerate after being cut to pieces.

Absorbing the Commandment of Reticence made him even more powerful, allowing him to instantly defeat both Tarmiel and Sariel. He was also unfazed by King's attack and effortlessly shattered Diane's Diamond Shield, while also severely injuring Guila. After being destroyed, he swiftly sliced ​​Sariel and Tarmiel in half, after which he rapidly regenerated. However, this enormous power boost came at the cost of an even greater warping of his soul.

Relations
Ludociel
Ludociel is Mael's older brother. Ludociel is one of the few goddesses who never mocked Mael for his gentle nature, but instead encouraged him to be himself. She even wore her hair long to emulate Ludociel's in his youth and continued his philosophy for years. Mael greatly admired his brother and trusted him enough to ask for his help in expressing his feelings to Elizabeth. After regaining his memory, Mael is worried about what his older brother will think of him if they meet in person, something that is demonstrated when Ludociel is overjoyed to see him alive.

Elizabeth
Elizabeth was one of the few goddesses who never mocked Mael, instead encouraging him to be who he was. As a result, he eventually came to love her and admire her power. However, Mael was devastated to discover that she had feelings for Meliodas, yet still admired her from afar. Even after his memories were altered and he became Estarossa, he still felt something for Elizabeth and displayed a powerful desire to claim her. After regaining his memories, Mael's greatest regret and shame was having hurt Elizabeth and even attempted to kill her, nearly dying in the process.

Sariel
A stern figure to Mael, he criticizes his haircut, which is similar to Ludociel's. Despite his somewhat cold attitude toward the young goddess, Sariel cares for him. After Mael's supposed death, he was prepared to avenge him against his alleged killer, Estarossa.

When Mael became enraged with Gowther and King, he was the first to turn against him and help the two Sins, knowing that Mael would fall into darkness if they didn't stop him.

.

Tarmiel
Tarmiel seems to have a soft spot for Mael and acts like a brother whenever he can, such as when Sariel criticizes his haircut, copying Ludociel, to whom he tried to justify Mael's decisions. After Mael's supposed death, Tarmiel was prepared to kill his assassin, Estarossa.

When Mael went mad, Tarmiel chose to help him, for he was his brother, above the Seven Deadly Sins, were it not for Sariel's logical reasoning. Despite this, when Mael cries out in grief upon seeing Tarmiel withhold his power, Tarmiel succumbs to guilt, giving Mael the opportunity to kill Derieri.

Escanor
Escanor is the later owner of Mael's grace, Sunshine, and Mael's former enemy from his Estarossa days. Mael seems to care somewhat for Escanor and his grace, given that he rejected it because it had waited eons to find its perfect owner, Escanor. He also seems to feel nostalgic about reuniting with someone he once fought as an enemy.

After the Demon King awakens using Zeldris's body, Escanor summons Mael back to the world to obtain the Sun's grace, despite Mael's warning about what would happen to him. Escanor is determined enough to entrust him with the power one last time.

Gowther
The demon Gowther used Mael as a tool to end the Holy War 3,000 years ago, as well as in revenge for the murder of his lover, Glariza. While still under the influence of the Commandments, Mael went mad, taking his vengeance on the doll for his suffering.

Until Gowther entered his mind and gave him the answer as to why his creator chose him as a vessel.

The two meet while drinking together at the party after the end of the Holy War.

.

Meliodas
Mael considered Meliodas an enemy, like any other demon. However, upon learning that Meliodas was dating Elizabeth, his anger and jealousy intensified. Due to his memories of Ludociel being replaced by Gowther, he came to love him like a brother, so much so that, upon killing him, he didn't succumb to the curse of his Commandment, though he still felt conflicted because his love and desire for Elizabeth persisted. Eventually, after absorbing more Commandments, Mael began to believe himself to be Meliodas, changing his mind as his mind deteriorated. After regaining his memories, he seems to have concluded that Elizabeth loved Meliodas.

Supreme Deity
As the creator of the Goddess Clan and of himself, Mael venerates the Supreme Deity as a member of the Four Archangels. However, his loyalty was tested between his devotion to her and his friendship with the Seven Deadly Sins and their allies, which made him a target between them and his clan, which was under the Supreme Deity's influence. Despite being defeated by his fellow members of the Goddess Clan, Mael continued to plead with his creator to reconsider her actions, only to fall on deaf ears.

Personality
Mael is a complex character, full of light and contradictions. His personality can be divided into several layers:
Luminous and charismatic: Mael always radiates a positive, warm, and comforting energy. He has a natural charisma that effortlessly draws others in, making him someone they seek out for support or guidance. His voice and presence convey confidence and calm.

Approachable and empathetic: He has an extraordinary ability to understand and connect emotionally with others. He can read complex emotions and usually acts with sensitivity towards the feelings of others.
Underlying guilt and self-imposed pressure: Inside, Mael carries enormous personal pressure. He always feels he must be perfect, that he cannot fail those he loves, and this can lead to emotional overload.
2. Disorders and traumas
Although Mael is bright, his past and experiences generate significant internal conflicts:
Latent Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Estarossa's (Ludociel's) manipulation and the confusion surrounding his identity (when he was deceived by Meliodas/Estarossa as a demon) left deep emotional scars. The betrayal and the confusion about his own memory make him vulnerable to episodes of anxiety and self-doubt.
Self-blame and guilt: They feel a great deal of responsibility for tragic events that occur, even if they have no control over them. This relates to their need to protect everyone around them.
Occasional depression or melancholy: Its role as
