The thing about Escanor is if he learned how to control things he'd be infinitely less interesting and from what we've got to go on now he's not that interesting to begin with. And there would be no point in showing it that way if it's not actually going to be like that in the series.

But even with that, I still don't see anything in the sidestory that indicates he has any measure of control over how this works. Neither Merlin's explanation of his power, his own words on the subject, or the way he transforms suggest it.

People's moods can change. King can be uneasy around Escanor in a battle and feel fine when it's just the Sins. I think you're looking at the situation as if it were static.

Though honestly, I feel like some of this stuff is going to be clarified later on because the sidestory rushed things.
