History YMMV / SevenMortalSins

* EvilIsSexy: The main appeal of the series especially Lucifer and some of the Sins.

** Mammon tricks thousands of women into a contract that condemns them to damnation, forces them to babysit 500,000 of her demonic spawn and takes control of all of their assists. She states that this is because her husband left her and now she's forced to settle with the debt. Out of all the other Sins, she's easily the most sympathetic.

* TheWoobie: Maria gets her heart stolen by Lucifer, who treats her like dirt; Leviathan wants to get rid of her so she can have Lucifer for herself; the other Demon Lords are planning to take advantage of her just to get back at Lucifer; and she gets belittled every time she makes a mistake. A very sad fate for such a sweet and gentle girl. Though one must give her props for actually ''befriending'' Lucifer after beginning to assert herself more. By the end, it's strongly implied Lucifer has fallen in love with Maria.

* AwesomeEgo: Lucifer of course. As expected from the Sin of Pride, she hits the SmugSuper trope full force. She is never NOT reminding the other Sins that she will defeat all of them and take over Hell and even laughs in their faces when she actually manages to overpower them thanks to the fact that she is very smart and clever. And seeing her keep all of her pride even when faced with some weird situations and Fanservicey hijinks is always fun to watch.

* NightmareFuel: The end of the first episode. Maria see Lucifer again and when she tries to talk to her, she gets impaled. It turned out be non lethal by the next episode, but at the cost of being dragged around as Lucifer's slave.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: The only purely good character in the series is a ButtMonkey who gets constantly abused and insulted while the rest of the cast are Demon Lords who happily lure humanity into becoming their followers all so that they can be thrown to Hell when they die. [[spoiler:God and the [[LightIsNotGood Heavenly Virtues]], naturally, aren't any better.]] It isn't stated why the Demon Lords do this (except for Mammon who actually has an [[FreudianExcuse excuse]], and Astaroth and Beelzebub who [[DoingItForTheArt just love to do play music and eating good food respectively]]) so it's safe to assume that they do what they do simply because they feel like it. The main character even claims that it's humanity's own fault for being weak enough to be seduced by the Sins. Not even the sex appeal helps when there's no one be rooting for until the cast gets some belated and contrived CharacterDevelopment in the end.

* {{Moe}}: Despite her raging {{Jerkass}}ery, Leviathian fawning and squeeing over Lucifer is adorable. The fact she genuinely loves and cares about her as opposed to it being simple, empty lust, and the fact she also starts caring about Maria as well (in a vitriolic best bud way) helps drive it home.

* {{Moe}}: Leviathian especially when any time she appears with Lucfier she can't help but let herself squee when Lucifer's around and the fact she genuinely loves and cares about her and also starts caring about Maria as well despite in a vitriolic best bud way.

[[spoiler:God and the [[LightIsNotGood Heavenly Virtues]], naturally, aren't any better.]] It isn't stated why the Demon Lords do this (except for Mammon who actually has an [[FreudianExcuse excuse]], and Astaroth and Beelzebub who [[DoingItForTheArt just love to do play music and eating good food respectively]]) so it's safe to assume that they do what they do simply because they feel like it. The main character even claims that it's humanity's own fault for being weak enough to be seduced by the Sins. Not even the sex appeal helps when there's no one be rooting for until the cast gets some belated and contrived CharacterDevelopment in the end though it does help that they do show redeemable traits such as love, care, compassion and kindness which was shown even before their Character Development such as Lucifer who though took Maria as a hostage by taking her heart does take good care of her and even tells off Leviathian for trying to break Maria's mind and forbids her from doing anything to her and Leviathian does start to care about Maria as well at the end of the series.

* EvilIsSexy: The main appeal of the series.

** When Lucifer's Garb of Punishment is removed and she can gain followers, it turns out that she can forcibly do so with masses of people when they take pride in literally '''anything'''. She states if she wanted to she could do that all of humanity if she wanted to.

** Belial's performance in the final episode. Despite spending much of the series as a SmugSnake, when she faces [[spoiler: Michael at the end, she proudly proclaims herself as Belial of Vanity with all of the vain-ness one has come to expect from her. Only this time, it's actually awesome for once.]]

The main character even claims that it's humanity's own fault for being weak enough to be seduced by the Sins. Sex appeal aside, there really isn't much to be rooting for here. However this starts to change after the Sins begin showing their nicer sides and Lucifer starting to show kindness.
* EvilIsSexy: The main appeal of both the figure line and the anime series. Although by the end of the anime, [[spoiler: it’s hard to tell who fits this trope better, the [[AffablyEvil Mortal Sins]] or the [[LightIsNotGood Heavenly Virtues]].]]

* MagnificentBitch: [[TheProtagonist Main character]] Lucifer, FallenAngel turned [[DemonLordsAndArchDevils Demon Lord of Pride]], can achieve anything she sets her mind to. Deciding to take over hell, Lucifer has a policy of challenging the Demon Lords known as the Mortal Sins at their own games on their own turf, constantly getting the better of them and winning no matter what venue they choose, constantly coming up with new plans and strategies. It is later revealed [[spoiler:that for all her haughtiness and deep pride in herself, Lucifer was the only angel to object to God's plan to wipe out hell and the earth, having been protecting humanity from the start,]] and manages to get the better of both her arch-rivals, the demon lord Belial and the new leader of the Seven Lively Virtues, her old partner Michael via a few clever gambits, culminating in Lucifer embracing her love for her human companion Maria and claiming her rightful throne as the ruler of hell and queen of pride itself.

* CounterpartComparison:
** Astaroth is often compared to [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Killer Bee]] due to her also speaking in GratuitousRap.
** As of Episode 11 [[spoiler:Belial can be compared to the [[ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}} First of the Fallen]], as both are Angels who fall and ruled Hell before Lucifer's fall]]
** Michael can be compared to [[Anime/{{KillLaKill}} Satsuki Kiryūin]] due to their similar styles of clothes and hair and they both wield katanas.

** A group of supernatural, amoral beings praying on a poor human girl for their own amusement? Are we talking about this or ''VisualNovel/DiabolikLovers''?
