* Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventures:
** [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureDIO DIO Brando]] exhibits all the seven characteristics:
*** '''Envy''': His massive resentment towards Jonathan stems from the latter being born into a much more pleasant life than he was.
*** '''Pride''': Even as a child, he possessed a superiority complex, and it only worsened when he turned himself into a vampire, now wanting to TakeOvertheWorld.
*** '''Wrath''': He has a quite nasty temper, most evidently shown when he burned Danny alive after Jonathan stood up to him.
*** '''Lust''': He's a straight-up misogynist who views women as a means of gaining offspring at best and food at worst.
*** '''Greed''': The "Stone Ocean" reveals he became so arrogant with his powers that he made a plan to remake the world in his image and rule it as a god.
*** '''Gluttony''': As a vampire, he has no problems with eating humans and tries to enslave the entire world just to satisfy his ego.
*** '''Sloth''': He spends the majority of the "Stardust Crusaders" inside his mansion while having loyal minions and/or hired assassins try to kill the Joestar Group until they personally confront him.
** Members of Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureLaSquadraDiEsecuzioni from the "Golden Wind" can be considered as the representations of the seven sins:
*** '''Envy''': Formaggio, who mostly attacks people smaller than him because of his very weak Little Feet Stand.
*** '''Gluttony''': Illuso, who can never satisfy his desire to kill others, even if he had MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment.
*** '''Pride''': Prosciutto, who takes extreme hubris in touting his The Grateful Dead Stand as being end-all be-all and constantly brags about his superiority Pesci
*** '''Sloth''': Pesci, who doesn't muster up the courage to use his incredibly versatile Stand, and he's often willing to give up on a task very early into it.
*** '''Lust''': Melone, who's incredibly aroused by the sight of women's legs, licking his lips whenever he sees any, and his Stand Baby Face is analogous to a rape case.
*** '''Wrath''': Ghiaccio, who throws childish tantrums whenever someone corrects his grammar.
*** '''Greed''': Risotto, who (as the leader of La Squadra) is indicative of what the group's main goal is: to kill the boss and inherit his fortune through Passione's drug distribution.

* ''Manga/FairyTail'': The Grimoire Heart's elite team, the Seven Kin of Purgatory, embodies the seven sins:
** '''Envy''': Ultear is a time-manipulating mage who will do anything it takes to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong by undoing what she believed to be [[ParentalAbandonment her mother's abandonment of her in the past]]. Turns out that [[spoiler: her mom did not leave her. Her mom brought her to scientists when she was a baby to check what was wrong with her body and said scientists told her she was dead so they could study on her.

Had it not been for her envy and if she alerted her mom, ''a lot'' of problems would not have happened.]]
** '''Wrath''': Zancrow is a PsychoForHire Flame God Slayer who will incinerate anyone who angers him [[DisproportionateRetribution for any reason at all]] - even members of his own guild.
** '''Lust''': While Meredy is too young to embody this vice (aside from her familial love for Ultear driving her villainy), her Maguilty Sense magic ties in with Lust otherwise, as it connects their bonds with others.
** '''Pride''': Azuma is a BloodKnight whose real villainy lies in [[MyMasterRightOrWrong taking orders from evil old Master Hades]], but all the same, his love of battle causes him to show contempt toward weak opponents and pacifists, and also to take hostages in order to provoke strong opponents into fighting at full power. It ultimately proves to be his FatalFlaw, as he willingly decides to gamble Grimoire Heart's all-but-assured victory in order to get the fight of his life out of Fairy Tail's resident ActionGirl Erza, and [[HonorBeforeReason holds his pride and honor in such regard]] that [[IGaveMyWord he keeps his word to restore the magic power of Fairy Tail's mages]] after she defeats him.
** '''Gluttony''': Kain Hikaru is an obese and not-especially-intelligent user of a HollywoodVoodoo type of magic.
** '''Sloth''': Rustyrose practices Arc of Embodiment, a type of Lost Magic that allows him to create anything that he desires from his imagination, ensuring that he rarely, if ever, needs to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
** '''Greed''': Zoldeo long ago succumbed to this sin and used a taboo magic to possess the Celestial Spirit Capricorn after having promised Layla Heartfilia, Capricorn's key-holder, that he would pass the key onto Layla's daughter, Lucy, when she was of an appropriate age to wield it.
