All of the anime's heroes can be seen gathered in this clip as they prepare for another epic fight. After all, the first season of Four Knights of the Apocalypse pushed Percival to new heights as he tracked down a slew of foretold knights.

As for its story, Four Knights of the Apocalypse is set more than 15 years after The Seven Deadly Sins ends with the Demon King's culling. The Holy War is finally over, but thanks to the prophecy involving Percival, the boy is hunted down. After learning of his fate, Percival becomes set on changing the future, and he meets plenty of friends in doing so. One of these allies is Lancelot, a knight from Liones who calls Ban father. So for those who loved The Seven Deadly Sins, this sequel is a must see.

Does Four Knights of the Apocalypse Measure Up as a Sequel?

With a season to its name and 17 volumes underfoot, Four Knights of the Apocalypse is the perfect successor to The Seven Deadly Sins. Nakaba's writing is as fantastical as ever, and while Percival may not be a bold as Meliodas, the two protagonists have plenty in common. Their steadfast hearts are nothing short of admirable, and both heroes are willing to fight fate for those they love. Following his trials with Elizabeth, Meliodas has now passed the spotlight to Percival, and the green-haired knight is at the franchise's helm. Now the question remains whether the young hero can keep the adventure fantasy on track...!
