Ban (The Seven Deadly Sins)

How Ban joined the Tourney
When he hears of Meliodas still being alive, Ban, wanting to meet his captain, escapes from his prison cell, and is immediately confronted by Jericho, who tries to kill him. Ban easily dodges all of Jericho's slashes and even purposely lets her cut his hair. When Jericho is shocked that he dodged her attacks despite his severe wounds, Ban shows her that they have already healed, and points to his scar.

Ban then takes Jericho's armor and clothes in an attempt to find decent armor before leaving. Disappointingly discovering the armor to not fit him, Ban comes across a guard looking lustfully at a captive woman, glances at her, showing some interest, and proceeds to smash the guard's head into the bars. He then enters the cell by bending the bars, and tells the woman that she "is his", before stealing the dagger that she had hidden in her clothes. He comments on its good quality and tests it out by cutting her chains. She thanks him for this, and requests for the dagger back; Ban, however, refuses and declares that it belongs to him, which greatly frightens her.

As Jude arrives, intending to kill him, Ban only greets the Holy Knight in return and asks for the reason of the killing intent, with Jude answering that they have no more use for him since he has already fulfilled his role as a bait for Meliodas. Engaging Jude in combat, Ban is quickly stabbed in the chest by one of the Holy Knight's thorn-like weapons. He, however, explains that he had actually let himself be captured five years earlier, and the reason for it. Removing the weapon out of his chest, he easily pierces and stabs Jude in the chest, whilst telling him of his excitement about the Holy Knights declaring war on the Seven Deadly Sins.

Together with the frightened Sennett, Ban leaves the Baste Dungeon and encounters Meliodas, Diane, Hawk, and Elizabeth. He and Meliodas then greet, high-five each other and then start arm wrestling, which results in the entire dungeon being destroyed. Afterwards, he tells Meliodas that he is glad to see him again. With the dungeon now destroyed, he, along with the others and the imprisoned villagers, heads to Dalmary Town, where he goes off on his own. Later that night, Ban is introduced to Elizabeth and notices that Hawk is a talking pig, which greatly shocks him. During the party, he starts drinking and even rides on top of Hawk. Together with the rest, he looks up at the sky when it is filled with crossing shooting stars and later falls asleep on Hawk.

A month after the Vaizel Fight Festival, Ban rescues a merchant from a man with a red ring calling himself Atrocitus.
