Movie
Description
Ban, originally called Bandit Ban, holds the title of the Fox's Sin of Greed within the Seven Deadly Sins. He possesses a tall, muscular physique standing at 210 cm, with distinctive pale blue spiky hair and magenta red eyes. A prominent scar runs from his left jaw down his neck, inflicted by Meliodas during their first meeting. He typically wears red leather clothing adorned with metal studs, though his attire adapts to circumstances—such as an apron after losing his shirt or garments fashioned from local materials in other realms. The Fox symbol rests above his left waist.
Born in Ravens, Ban endured a harsh childhood marked by parental abuse. He survived through theft until captured and imprisoned in Aberdeen Prison. There, he met Zhivago, a thief who became his adoptive father. Zhivago taught Ban stealing techniques and shared tales of legendary heists, including the Fountain of Youth. Their bond ended when Zhivago abandoned Ban to save his biological son during a violent confrontation, forcing Ban to fend for himself.
Driven by a desire for immortality to escape his bleak existence, Ban ventured into the Fairy King's Forest. He encountered Elaine, guardian of the Fountain of Youth. After initial conflict, they formed a bond over seven days, with Ban revealing his hope that eternal life might bring positive change. When a demon attacked, Elaine saved Ban's life by administering the fountain's water through a kiss after both suffered fatal wounds, granting him immortality. Elaine perished, entrusting Ban with an Almoca Seed to replant the forest. He fulfilled her request, leading fairies to proclaim him their king, though he was later imprisoned and sentenced to death, falsely accused of her murder and the forest's destruction.
His immortality rendered execution attempts futile; he endured 33 executions without effect. Meliodas eventually recruited him into the Seven Deadly Sins after a forceful encounter that left Ban exhilarated by the challenge. As a member, Ban wielded his Sacred Treasure, the three-sectioned staff Courechouse, and utilized his signature ability, Snatch, to steal objects or attributes. His immortality enables rapid regeneration, demonstrated when he reconstituted himself moments after being crushed into a bloodstain.
Ban's personality combines greed, impulsiveness, and loyalty. He acts on whims, escaping prison upon learning of Meliodas's survival or stealing Meliodas's sword out of curiosity. Despite a self-serving exterior, he demonstrates deep compassion, particularly in his devotion to Elaine. Her death fueled an enduring hatred for the Demon Clan. He occasionally exhibits unexpected traits, adhering to group rules discouraging prying into Meliodas's past or planning to earn rewards through heroism rather than theft.
His relationships are complex. He shares a bond with Meliodas rooted in mutual combat and respect, yet tempered by the scar Meliodas inflicted. His love for Elaine remains a defining emotional anchor, driving his actions. He interacts with others through witty honesty and unwavering loyalty, often emerging as a pivotal figure in group dynamics.
In the film "Prisoners of the Sky," Ban participates in the quest for "sky fish" at the Sky Palace. His immortality is briefly highlighted during a comedic incident where Diane accidentally crushes him, demonstrating his regenerative capabilities. He joins the battle against the Six Knights of Black, with his role consistent with his established traits—fighting alongside allies with resilience and dry humor.
Ban's chronological age exceeds 1,000 years due to time distortions in Purgatory, though his biological age remains in his early twenties. His story reflects themes of eternal life, loss, and the search for meaning.
