Things You Might Not Know About Meliodas’ Swords 

The fantasy anime Seven Deadly Sins or Nanatsu no Taizai contains a lot of the typical fantasy trops we’ve come to expect, chief among them being Meliodas’ legendary swords. Similar to how Sword Art Online’s Kirito has swords that reference European mythology, the anime Seven Deadly Sins features swords that tell us about Meliodas’ destiny and the lore surrounding it.

Unlike One Piece, Meliodas is no Zoro with dozens of katanas under his belt. Instead, Meliodas  only has two main swords which are explored thoroughly

1. Meliodas Swords Are Lostvayne and the Dragon Handle Sword

Meliodas’ swords are called the Demon Sword Lostvayne and the Dragon Handle sword. The former is a saber-like sword with a gold cross guard and pommel while the latter is a sword with a handle shaped like a serpentine dragon. The handle sword also gets its name from the fact that it’s mostly a handle since the rest of the blade is broken about a few inches past the handle.

Though the two swords have distinct designs, they each have green in their color palette which matches Meliodas’ green eyes.                                                      

2. Lostvayne Once Belonged to A King

In both the manga and the anime, Lostvayne is shown to have been created by Dubs, an ancient master craftsman gifted by the gods, before it ended up in the hands of King Bartra, the king of Liones.

After going on heroic adventures with the sword in his youth, the king eventually settled down and decided to fulfill a prophetic vision he had about establishing the Seven Deadly Sins, an order of ex-criminal knights, who he then tasked with protecting the kingdom.

King Bartra gave each of the Seven Deadly Sins their own Sacred Treasures, powerful weapons wielded by heroes of old. One of these weapons was Lostvayne which he bequeathed to Meliodas.

3. The Dragon Handle Sword Is Made from the Coffin of Eternal Darkness

Though not a Sacred Treasure, the Dragon Handle sword is another notable Seven Deadly Sins sword with mystical origins. This hilt of the sword is said to have been made from the Coffin of Eternal Darkness, a relic that was used three thousand years ago to banish the Demon Clan.

Later, we find out that Meliodas was actually a demon from that era and was known as the Dragon’s Sin of Wrath which explains the thematic ties between him and the sword. 

Can One Acquire the Swords of Meliodas?

Meliodas’ swords may have dark histories, but you won’t have to go on quests to uncover them just to get your hands on a quality cosplay prop. These cosplay swords may not be battle ready, but they’ll look great in a display case, on a wall mount, or as part of your costume.
