But how would it be a sin? At least all the others' sins were related to mass destruction or murder:

Meliodas: called the Sin of Wrath because he let his anger get the best of him and destroyed the entire Kingdom of Danafor (though Meliodas claims his sin was not being able to save Liz).

Diane: called the Sin of Envy due to a false accusation by one of the Holy Knights who survived Matrona's earth magic. She accusedly poisoned Matrona due to her jealousy towards her.

Ban: called the Sin of Greed because of murdering Elaine, drinking the Fountain of Youth, and destroying the Fairy King's forest in the Fairy King's abscence.

King: called the Sin of Sloth for not stopping Helbram from mass-slaughtering humans and nearly starting a war between fairies and humans.

Gowther: called the Sin of Lust based on the assumption that he raped and murdered Nadja Liones.

Merlin: called the Sin of Gluttony due to fooling two LITERAL GODS and recieving immunity to Commandments along with the protection from brainwashing by Goddessess; this resulted in the complete and total destruction of Belialuin.

The Sins were given their titles because they caused mass destruction or the death of others as a result of their own actions. Mael letting his own pride get the better of him and getting killed by Estarossa wouldn't make Escanor the Sin of Pride for two reasons:

1. It was Mael's death in the first place that ended the Holy War, so he actually helped the Godessess (though it was also through his death that the Goddessess were severely weakened).

2. Mael's mistakes are completely unrelated to Escanor.
