Gowther is famously known as the Goat's Sin of Lust (色欲の罪 ゴート・シン, Gōto Shin) among the legendary group of warriors, the Seven Deadly Sins.
The Goat's Sin of Lust Explained
While the "Sin of Lust" might typically suggest carnal desires, Gowther's particular transgression, and thus his assigned sin, is often interpreted in a broader sense within the context of the series. His powers revolve around the manipulation of memories and emotions, which can be seen as a form of "lust" for knowledge or the control of the heart, leading to complicated or unwanted emotional states in others. This often caused unintended consequences due to his initial lack of understanding of human emotions.
Gowther's True Nature and Background
Beyond his identity as a member of the Seven Deadly Sins, Gowther possesses a unique and complex origin. He is, in fact, a doll, intricately crafted by a powerful wizard in the form of his old lover.
Key aspects of Gowther's background include:
- He was created as a doll by a great wizard.
- His form was specifically designed to resemble his creator's old lover.
- He was a former member of the Ten Commandments, serving as a proxy for his creator during his time with them.
To summarize Gowther's core identity:
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Assigned Sin | Goat's Sin of Lust |
| True Nature | Doll |
| Creator | A great wizard (the original Gowther) |
| Past Affiliation | Ten Commandments (as a proxy) |
Gowther's journey throughout the series often explores themes of identity, emotion, and understanding what it truly means to be alive, all stemming from his unique creation and his path to understanding the "lust" that defined his sin.
