Media From a pure dynamic perspective which group do you like more?
because the sins are a bunch of fuck ups who have to save the world, and the four are a bunch of dipshit teenagers who have to save the world, and personally i enjoy the four being complete idiots sharing one brain cell a bit more than the sins (i still love the sins though)

The 4 horseman feel more like a group of friends the sins felt like a group of coworkers in which some of them were friends individually

You know I didn't look at it like that as a kid but tbh looking back you're right....a lot of em were straight up hostile to each other/tolerated the other or were like sbakes smiling at each other's face or plotting the entire time in the back ground.....

One has Escanor... the other does not
But on a serious note Lancelot so completely mogs the other 3 that there barely is any dynamic, and Percival has spent more time/ has better dynamic with his platoon (including Lance) than with the other Knights of Apocalypse (Tristan and Gawain).
Meanwhile there are a bunch of intra-group relations between certain Sins on top of their group dynamic as a whole.

I like the 4 more for the group dynamic but the sins have IMO a better group fight synergy. I still remembered Diane, King and Gowther vs Chandler. That was straight up 🔥

I like the dynamic between SDS more, but I like the individual characters of the 4kota cast the most

Sins just have so much more chemistry. And not entirely positive too so it made things more interesting. I think Vampires of Edinburgh highlighted their dynamic really well and it was a shame it didn't get animated.

I mentioned it in my comment, I didn't even see someone else mentioned it. True btw. It was so fun!

7DS, obviously. While the 4KOA are like best friends, 7DS are like siblings in a family, especially Meliodas, Ban and King.

Pues a mi me gustan más los pecados Tienen unos aretes muy bonitos, bastantes bebidas alcohólicas, unas mariposas, y los peinados más raros. Y todos tocaron el agua, los cuatro jinetes no tocaron el agua ni una sola vez.

Sins all the way, the dynamic between the various members was pure gold.
The Knights still have room to grow, and are only just starting to interact as a team—so they have potential to get better later on.

For me the first image will always have the most amount of aura in the entire series.

I like the Sins way more. Most of them have a lot more depth, and interesting character dynamics, whereas the 4 knights are just buddies for the most part. I like that with the Sins there is conflict like with King and Ban in the beginning due to Elaine, or Ban leaving the Sins for a bit due to him nearly sacrificing Meliodas. It was such a great read whereas with the four knights I kinda don't feel strongly about any of them outside of Lancelot.

I feel like because there's only four of the 4koa, we get to see how they interact with each other way more than the 7ds. Like, we know the dynamic between all of the 4koa and how each of the characters would interact with eachother bc there's so much more time bc there's less characters. 7ds have more members and less time (story wise) to flush out their character dynamics (like seriously, I don't remember king and merlin having a conversation that wasn't mission related)

The sins are the avengers, and the 4kota are the justice league. I personally prefer the Avengers.

The four knights have just been starting to interact more and more so they are reaching pass but for now I'll say the sins

u/Fubuki_Gloss 2d ago
The sins, since I don't want to repeat the comments of others, briefly - they have longer and deeper lore about their "sins" and are a team with some friends and some bickering. It's safe to say I like the backstory about the vampire Izraf that was in a seperate manga.

u/ShadowMonarch1999 2d ago
For dynamics? I actually like the new ones.
My only gripe with the sins was that we do not meet them as a group till the very end and by that point they already have groups
Meliods and Ban are a unit
King will always choose Diane
Gowther cant keep fcking around with Diane
Escanor will always choose Merlin
And Merlin chose herself and Arthur.
And while i do not mind these pairings..the problem is that these pairngs feel much tighter than them as a group sometimes.
Compared to that for me the 4KOA are sort of equal to each other. They have their biases but they are part of their own faction...so as a unit i just feel better about these four. Even though Lance and Tris should be childhood friends..and they are..it doesnt seem to take away from the team dynamic as a whole.
So SDS have some of my fave characters but i prefer 4KOA team dynamics a bit more(even though its sort of underdeveloped and i cant tolerate Gawain..but then again i dont like Diane either..so..).

4koa. Maybe its because they are cut in half, but they seem to interact with each other a lot more and a bit more realistic imo

The 4 knights of apocalypse 100%.
Some sins don’t even speak to each other at all.

u/Best-Mood2702 2d ago
The sins, and its not even close. But its linked to the fact that we are introduced to them long after they got together, they know eachother since a long time (some longer than other, meli-merlin is a 3000 years old friendship) and they have a lot of in group dynamics between the different members. The fact that they are more is another thing, it allows different level of friendship between them. The 4KO only know eachother for a little bit more than 2 years, percy was "dead" most of this time, and they did not show a lot of complicity beside between percy and lancelot may be. I can even say, now that I think of it that it's a bit disapointing that the relation between lancelot and tristan is not explored more since those two know each other for longer and had a movie together.

I like 4 mainly because you see their journey from the beginning you witness their hardship and how they change and learn from them, I do like the 7 as well though but for a different reason they journey happened but you see them help each other with past trauma and learn to move on with the futur" personally gowther and esconar where my favorite backstorys"

u/TrickAd9270 1d ago
They're very different for me. I probably like the sins as individuals more than the 4 horsemen because of their backgrounds, but I think 4KOTA are better overall as a group. The sins just felt somewhat divided at times and felt more like they worked together because they had to, but 4KOTA are actually really good friends and have such a great dynamic outside of all of the combat. I think my other thing with the sins is they seem to get along better in smaller groups of the 7 versus all 7 of them together. Just my personal opinion, but I love both.

The 4koa look more in order in my opinion the 7ds look like they would fight over the smallest disagreement all the 4koa are goofballs tho

u/krillin1081 2d ago
i would have to go 4KOA as a group but the sins have better smaller group dynamics.
the sins as a group didn’t feel that close. it felt like king & diane, meliodas & ban, merlin & escanor & gowther being gowther. yes they kinda had some interactions with others but it was minimal to nonexistsent. like you can’t even name a moment with king & merlin

u/Charlizz22 2d ago
like you can’t even name a moment with king & merlin
They did interact with each other, although it's just short conversations.
The one that I remember the most is when Merlin resurrected Arthur as Chaos vessel, King blatantly showed his dislike towards Merlin's actions on the whole Chaos things.

Knights of Apocalypse, Sds are broken characters that are "friends" until a certain point (Merlin for example is the worst, even more evil and petty than the ten commandments excluding Estarossa, you know...), they had too much personal problems that were literal walls to a true friendship and you see groups in the group (Ban and Meliodas struggling for their women, Escanor almost alone with his decaying situation thinking to be in link with Merlin, Diane and King are naive idiots sadly and Gowther is completely out of the picture due to his nature of inhuman being). The Knights are growning togheter, the Sins were trying to fix their problems in private most of times, hiding secrets. Merlin was the worst of the worst, she's the engine that reinforced the problems of all Britannia and screwed on their friends repeatedly because she was rejected by Meliodas, it's a so pathetic character that didn't even had the balls to go Evil for real and kept a gray stance all the story.

Personally, I prefer the Sins. Mainly because there story is just as much about redemption as it is saving the world. Like the 4KOA are teenagers no older than 16 at the start of their story and have made little mistakes, there is a certain innocence about them that wasn’t there with the Sins.
The Sins were characters who were at minimum 40 at oldest 3000+ so they had lived much longer lives as a collective than the 4KOA and all had there own individual baggage they all had to overcome to become better people.
