Trivia

 * The Pleiades of the Azure Sky share a number of similarities with the Seven Deadly Sins:
 * As seen in their fights with Fraudrin, the Pleiades emphasizes teamwork and coordination. This is in contrast to the Seven Deadly Sins, whose greatest strength is their lack of teamwork, according to Meliodas.
 * Both groups directly serve royalty of the Kingdom of Liones. The Seven Deadly Sins serve Bartra Liones, King of Liones, while the Pleiades serve Denzel Liones, his brother.
 * In Greek mythology, the Pleiades represent the Seven Sisters, daughters of Pleione and Atlas, who were turned into stars to comfort their father.
 * In Celtic mythology, the Pleiades were associated with mourning and funerals, which may have served as inspiration for Denzel's ability, Judgement, enabling him to bring forth the ghosts of the dead to haunt his enemies.
