Escanor was not killed by anybody but died on his own. He borrowed “Sunshine” and went up against Demon King (Zeldris). After the latter’s defeat, Escanor had used up his life force and died when the grace returned to Mael. During the post-Holy War arc, the Demon King took the body of his younger son Zeldoris.
At the end of the anime, Escanor is still alive, but in the manga, he dies. In the manga, he uses Sunshine to the height of his ability to defeat the Demon King. In the end, it's too much for his body to take. Using so much power used all of his life force, and Escanor's body is turned into ash.
Along with the rest of the Demon Clan, Zeldris was sealed away by the Goddess Clan after losing the Holy War against the Four Races ( Human, Fairy, Giant and Goddess Clans). As the leader of the Ten Commandments, younger brother of Meliodas, and son of the Demon King himself, Zeldris is an extremely powerful demon.
He is also the younger brother of Meliodas, as well as the youngest son of the Demon King, whom Zeldris also serve as representative and executioner. Zeldris is a short yet muscular young man. He greatly resembles his brother Meliodas, though with a few slight differences.
During the great war, Zeldris was tasked with executing the Vampire Clan who attempted to overthrow the Demon King. However, instead of killing them, he sealed them away for Gelda's sake.

After Merlin escaped with Melascula, Zeldris emerges having survived and realizes that the Four Archangels are revived: He then attacks Ludociel with his Dies Irae.
With the series continuing further for a few chapters it might have looked like there was a last minute revival in the works, but unfortunately this wasn't to be the case. Escanor missed out not only on the final reveal with Merlin, the battle with Chaos, and the future generations of the Sins being born.
Gelda. At some time during the war with the Goddess Clan, Zeldris met and fell in love with the Vampire Gelda.
After Meliodas destroys the false ones and releases Zeldris, he falls into Gelda's arms, happily reunited.
Tristan LionesTristan Liones「トリスタン・リオネス」 is the son of Meliodas and Elizabeth Liones, the prince of the Kingdom of Liones, and one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
However, Ban lost this ability after using the power of the Fountain of Youth to revive Elaine. Due to his time subjected to the harsh conditions of Purgatory, Ban's endurance and durability have drastically increased.
During the final Holy War, the spell wore off and everyone's memories came back. To save his fellow sins & Elizabeth, Escanor returned Sunshine back to Mael, who could use it to its full potential.
No one murdered Escanor; he died alone. He borrowed “Sunshine” and faced the demon king (Zeldris). After defeating the demon king, Escanor drained his life force, resulting in his death when grace returned. Once the Holy War ended, the Demon King took possession of the body of his youngest son Zeldoris.
Lancelot「ランスロット」 is the son of Ban and Elaine. At the age of 10, he went missing with his attendant Jericho.
Meliodas notes that Gelda is simply sealed away, and he promises that he will release her as soon as he is granted the ability to become the new Demon King. This strikes a chord in Zeldris, and he agrees to concede, though he clearly doesn't want to.
It turns out the pair had a kid as many expected them to, and Tristan is getting ready for the Seven Deadly Sins to arrive. However, this child is not the one which fans were a bit surprised by.
This led the king to issue some Holy Knights including the former Great Holy Knight Zaratras, Merlin & Meliodas to restrain Escanor. Due to his pride, Escanor didn’t stand down. Even though Merlin and Meliodas successfully restrained him, Zartaras suffered some injuries.
Escanor’s Personality. Escanor had somewhat of a split personality. The power of Sunshine activated during the day and deactivated during the night, so Escanor had two personalities. During the night, Escanor was this frail man who showed no pride and loved to do poetry.
During that one minute, he was known as The One. His mere hand-chop called Divine Sword, ESCANOR had the power to hold off Meliodas in his demonic state – a state which was feared among goddesses and demons alike. Escanor uses Cruel Sun & Divine Sword Escanor against Meliodas.
Joining the Seven Deadly Sins. On the day of Escanor’s execution, Meliodas cancelled it and took Escanor under his wing instead. Thus, the lion’s sin of pride joined the Seven Deadly Sins. In that period, he also received his sacred treasure Rhitta from the king.
On account of hurting the Holy Knights including Zartaras and disrespecting the King Bartra, Escanor was charged with a death penalty along with the tag – the Sin of Pride, Lion Sin Escanor. Just like the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins members, even though Escanor’s sin justified his personality, he was framed.
When Meliodas betrayed the demons and sided with Elizabeth & the Goddesses, the balance was distorted. Gowther executed a plan to alter everyone’s memories which ended the Holy War. READ: Here Is Everything About The Demon Clan.
Escanor’s power – Sunshine, activated during the day and kept rising every second. During high noon, when the sun was in the perfect position for one minute, Escanor had power comparable to the likes of a god. During that one minute, he was known as The One.
Escanor’s heroic death, which happened right after the clash with the Demon King, was a shocking moment, whether you’ve read the manga or just seen the anime. Escanor was a fan-favorite character and seeing him leave, although it was the most epic way imaginable, was a big blow for everyone.
Escanor’s death takes place during the so-called Demon King arc. The arc begins with Meliodas and Elizabeth, their curses are now broken, returning to Liones along with the rest of the Sins.
Well, this is a rather tricky one, eh? In theory, sure, Escanor could come back to life. Seven Deadly Sins is as supernatural as you can get and weirder things have happened in the show, so reviving a character wouldn’t be all that strange, especially with a sequel currently being published. But that seems to be the problem.
Elizabeth Liones, princess of Liones Kingdom, embarks upon an expedition to locate the most brutal criminals Seven Deadly Sins (Nanatsu no Taizai).
Lion Sin of Pride, Escanor was killed in the fight against Demon King. His body fell apart as he used his own energy to increase”Sunshine,” the power of “Sunshine”. The grace he borrowed was used to fight his opponent, the Demon King.
Escanor wasn’t killed by anyone else, and he died by himself. He took the loan of “Sunshine” and went up against Demon King (Zeldris). After the victory, Escanor had used up his energy and was killed as the power returned to Mael.
Escanor was without doubt one of the most powerful characters from the series. There were many titles he held, like ‘the strongest man alive’ and ‘the strongest Holy Knight’.
When Escanor was scheduled for death, Meliodas stopped the sentence and took Escanor under his wing. So, the lion’s act of pride was added to with the Seven Deathly Sins.
Escanor dislikes going out in the daytime due to his personality change. He has the largest symbol, in proportion to his size, which is located on his back. At night, he is known to have the lowest power level of not just all of the Holy Knights in Britannia, but lower than anyone else's recorded value at only 15.
Escanor was born 40 years ago, the prince of the Kingdom of Castellio. When he was a child, his older brother Daymond used to pick on him, until one day his power awakened, and he accidentally broke his brother's arm.
One day, Escanor was causing problems in Liones after getting rid of a monster that caused riots in a town. Several Holy Knights, including the Great Holy Knight, Zaratras, tried to stop him from believing to be responsible because the people of the villages and towns were terrified of him. All the knights ended up being seriously injured. There, Escanor meets Merlin and Meliodas who asked him to join their knightly order, although the two were forced to restrain him by order of the king to stop his havoc.

Escanor and King are both members of The Seven Deadly Sins, and as such, their relationship is that of comrades. Due to their limited interaction with one another, it is currently unknown how close they are compared to other members of the sins, however like Ban, King is very wary of Escanor during the day because of his power. Escanor himself even reprimands him and Diane for not taking the war with the demons seriously. However, when they fought the Demon King together, they prove capable of fighting effectively side-by-side with King's drastically greater power upon fully ascending as the Fairy King. As Escanor was about to die, he expresses his congratulation that he and Diane were about to be married and regretted he couldn't attend but wished they would find happiness as King was visibly saddened by his death to where he cried, showing that they do care for and respect one another considerably.
During his Fight with Izraf, Escanor showed his power by easily dispelling the Darkness of the Vampire King with his sheer presence. He then used his Sacred Treasure to lazily cleave the Vampire King's torso, which quickly regenerated, but having come into contact with Escanor's axe, began to burn him.
Escanor, along with the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins, was summoned to a castle to meet the Great Holy Knight Zaratras after a mission in which they defeated the Troll Queen and caused the accidental destruction of the Great Druid Altar. After they found him dead there, all of them were ambushed by the Holy Knights. When Meliodas ordered everyone to disperse and regroup later, Escanor obeyed and went into hiding, forming a secret bar hidden deep within the mountains, and even establishing himself as the owner and master of the bar. It is unknown how successful Escanor's secret bar was, but it was seen to be well stocked and maintained, and Escanor himself even stated to have made deliveries at times in the past, which implies that his business was somewhat thriving at that time.
Zeldris 「ゼルドリス」 is an elite warrior of the Demon Clan, serving directly under the Demon King as the leader and Piety of the Ten Commandments. He is also the younger brother of Meliodas, as well as the youngest son of the Demon King, whom Zeldris also serve as representative and executioner.
Upon discovering that Meliodas intended to abandon the Demon Clan, Zeldris confronted him. Meliodas reveals that he does it for the person he wants to protect with all his heart, leading Zeldris to confirm the truth about the relationship that Meliodas maintained with the goddess Elizabeth.
During the great war, Zeldris was tasked with executing the Vampire Clan who attempted to overthrow the Demon King.
He also warned Estarossa to not even try to absorb the Commandments he would retrieve, but this turned out to be a ploy as Zeldris wanted Estarossa to take in as much Commandment as possible so that when it comes to it , Melascula's Commandment would also be forcibly retrieved so Meliodas could become Demon King.
Appearance. Zeldris is a short yet muscular young man. He greatly resembles his brother Meliodas, though with a few slight differences. His hair is spikey black and grows counterclockwise to Meliodas' and they both have the same demon mark, except his is over his left eye instead of his right.
Zeldris once idolized Meliodas when he was the leader of the Ten Commandments and was trained in combat by him. When Meliodas was about to betray the Ten Commandments and the Demon Clan to be with Elizabeth, Zeldris immediately confronted him and tried to make his brother stop, being distraught at the fact that he would have to fight his brother, but when Meliodas refused to stop and told him to come with him and take Gelda, Zeldris angrily rejected Meliodas. The last straw came when the betrayal caused the Vampire Clan to attempt to revolt against the Demon King, forcing Zeldris to seal them away as the Demon King ordered Zeldris to execute them but Zeldris could not as Gelda was among the Vampires, Zeldris came to greatly resent Meliodas and harbors extreme anger towards his traitorous brother, as he was forced to separate with his lover due to his betrayal.
Personality. Zeldris is very calm and collected, seemingly not easy to anger. Like his brother, Meliodas, Zeldris appears to have a good commanding and leadership skills. Zeldris is highly confident in his abilities.
