Ban and Elaine’s romance comes to life in the Seven Deadly Sins couple’s impressive cosplay.
Instagram users Dantiise and Cospleo used the platform to show off their popular anime couple, with the former being Elaine and the latter being Ban. Each cosplayer shared a set of photos showing off the character in various poses, all focusing on the romance and intimacy between them. Both are dressed in identical anime costumes, taking into account all the details of the characters.
The Picture-Perfect Ban and Elaine Cosplay
Dantiise wears a flowing white dress with sleeves taken almost directly from the original material, with gold embellishments on the upper arms and chest. She also wears a yellow wig that matches the golden locks of the “Saintess”. In contrast, Cospeo sported Ban’s iconic all-red leather jacket and pants full of metal studs. He also wears a wig that features his character’s light blue spiky hair and makeup to portray his scar.
Ban is the central supporting character in the series, acting as one of the members of the “Seven Deadly Sins”, a powerful order of the Holy Knights in the kingdom of Brittania. The immortal character received the title of “Fox’s Sin of Greed” for his excellent stealing skills. This is most notable for his special ability, Snatch, which allows him to steal objects or powers from people. Elaine, on the other hand, is an Elf warrior and the sister of Harlequin, the Elf King and “Sin of Grizzly Laziness.” She held the position of “Holy Maiden” of the Fountain of Youth before being killed by a demon.
About Ban and Elaine from Seven Deadly Sins
The pair met after Ban attempted to steal the Fountain of Youth to gain immortality, forcing them into immediate conflict. However, after a while, the pair started to get close, Ban was in the forest with Elaine and befriended her. Eventually, the pair turned romantic, ending tragically after a demon murdered Elaine. Ban spends most of the series trying to revive his lost love.
While the pair are often a famous couple in the series – known for their poorly written relationships, such as Meliodas and Elizabeth – they are not immune to controversy. This mainly stems from the pictorial depiction of Elaine as a young girl, even though her age is well into the thousands. Many consider this a problematic image considering Ban’s traditionally mature appearance.
The Seven Deadly Sins anime and its sequel, Seven Deadly Sins: Edinburgh’s Vengeance, is available on Netflix.
