U can´t reduce a Gary Stu or a Mary Sue in Anime just down to a character that never lost a fight,Actionrandell.

The problem with Meliodas is that he has various aspects in his character setup and development letting him appear very Gary Stu-like. His very first introduction shows him being far beyond his opponents. This isn´t unsual in Shōnen, but as the plot of the first Nanatsu no Taizai arc continues we quickly release that he is just so far beyond any opponent it makes any anticipation to battles against antagonistic characters void, until ash-gray H. The next problem is that he is seemingly showered with power and convenience for being himself. The best example for this is his rapid growth in power just in order to match and later outmatch any compition even to the point that the demon king still got a boner for him as his fav son and wants to make him the next king. Overall I can see why people would say he is a Gary Stu and personally I dislike him as a character. (resurrection= sayain deathdoor powerboost bullshit)

Now onto the flaw in the series itself and why I think it stays so much under its potential. Nanatsu no Taizai faces the same conundrum most series with maincharacters who are far too outmatched right of the bat faces: It gets too repetitive. While it is funny and cool to see a character beat his opponents with seemingly no effefort or little it gets very unentertaining after a certain amount.

Also Nanatsu no Taizai commits a horrible sin of Shōnen:

1. Powerlevels

Powerlevels are something that should never be done unless they are very well balanced and well-thought out due to rendering past characters utterly useless or just undermine the whole fight that was seen before the next antagonist. Not only that but if they are too far out of proportion it renders any hype u could get from a Galand in his critcal over utterly nill if a Derieri has a base state with a difference of 12.000. This is pretty much the reason why DBZ for example completely abdonded the idea of giving details about powerlevels past the Freezer Arc, due to an Apeform Vegeta not even being 1% of Freezers first base state power. We have the same Problem in Nanatsu with the Ten Commandments being too far apart in power or others being even more out of reach.

Now to Galand, since this is his wikipage: Galand is prbly, with Merascylla, one of my favs amongst the 10 due to being straight forward in what he wants, likes and having a very simple design. Also he seems to be one of the rare ones amongst them that actually cares about the well-being of all of his fellow Commandments, not just a few, seeing his relationship with his partner aswell giving Fraudin retreat advice druing the Angel battle. In the Manga his high age didn´t really show at all due to always having rather playful mannerisms drawn to him, like causally twirling his halberd, but after hearing his voice in the Anime and seeing his mannerisms in it he got a much more experienced feeling to him and his jokes about not hearing that well anymore due to being old seem more funny.
