"I'm a selfish king. So I want to protect the forest, my people, Diane, everything!"

- King about his desire of protecting everybody in The Clash At The Fairy King's Forest

is one of the members of the Seven Deadly Sins and is known as the Grizzly's Sin of Sloth. His real name is Fairy King Harlequin, protecting the Fairy King's Forest and its realm. His Sacred Treasure is the spirit spear, Chastiefol, that he uses in conjunction with his power, Disaster.

Appearance
King's fairy form resembles a young boy with short orange-colored hair, a high forehead, thin eyebrows, and orange eyes. He wears an orange and green sweatshirt with a hood, navy blue undershirt, quarter-length pants, and buttoned shoes. He also carries a leopard pattern pillow. Despite being a fairy, he has no visible wings.

In his human form, he looks almost exactly like his wanted poster and wears an enlarged version of the same clothes. He looks fatter and more ragged. He can freely change the clothes he wears in this form.

Ten years ago, he wore full-body light green armor with a helmet that fits the size of his transformation. King's wanted poster depicts him as a big man with short hair, sideburns, a button nose, and a sneer. His Seven Deadly Sins Grizzly symbol is located just above his left ankle, on the outer side of his lower leg.

After the Kingdom Infiltration arc, King added Helbram's Love Helm helmet attached on the hood of his jacket.

Personality
When he first appeared, he is shown to be an ally to the Holy Knights and is willing to wipe anyone who gets in his way - along with the person he is after. Since he is the Sin of Sloth, he is somewhat lazy, as shown by preferring to levitate in most occasions. In the past, he was shown to be a compassionate character who returned stolen stuffed animals by Ban to children. Furthermore, it appears that he is a fairly emotional person who cries easily.King has trouble admitting his affection for Diane. Although he actually enjoys being together with Meliodas and Diane, he could not bring himself to reveal it. He also deeply cares for his sister, Elaine, as shown when he is willing to take revenge for her death by "killing" Ban.

King is also shown to have a caring side. He decided to help the Seven Deadly Sins in their battle against the Holy knights, albeit, he claimed it was merely for Diane. Despite being the Sin of Sloth, he is also shown to be hard working and serious at times. When King joined up with the group, he started to act like the only sane one in the group, and questioned his teammates' erratic and slightly insane actions, such as their nonchalance on losing their sacred treasures. Furthermore, when King is forced to do something he dislikes, he can easily be motivated if it will make Diane happy.Despite King's kind personality, he is not against killing someone if pushed to his limits. King was willing to kill Guila and Jericho if they continued to attack him, but was unable to after Helbram saved the two.

History
Seven hundred years ago, King was the ruler and guardian of the Fairy King's Forest; a country set on the border between the Fairy and Human realms. His spear, Chastiefol, was made from the Sacred Tree placed in its center. King used to live with Elaine along with other Fairies, keeping up the peace between them and the humans. During his time protecting the forest, King and Helbram were best friends. But unlike Helbram, King found no interest in humans and cautioned Helbram not to trust them. However, Helbram and his group went out of the forest to see the human world where they met a group of human travelers who promised to give them items in exchange for information about the Fairy World. However it was revealed that the humans were only after their wings, which could be sold for a lot of money as it was believed to extend a person's lifespan. King went out of the forest to save his friends as Elaine tried to stop him, but told her to stay and protect the forest. As King found the dead bodies of the Fairies, King met with a tall, armored human wearing an eye patch named Aldrich who attacked him from the back, ending up nearly killing him, until he was saved by a young Diane. Due to his injuries, King ended up forgetting about his life as a Fairy King and spent his time playing with and protecting Diane.

Diane later met a stranger who offered Diane and King some food, despite being a fairy and a giant. He was uneasy with the old man, and told Diane to be careful around humans. When Diane came down with a fever, he was sent into panic due to the fairies' lack of understanding on disease and sickness. However, Diane stopped him, telling him to not leave her side since she was always alone. The old man who gave them food found them, gave some herbs for Diane to feel better. As soon as Diane got better, they ended up playing tag with each other. He told her that if she caught him, he will grant her a wish. Diane took it seriously and caught him, but ended up getting her clothes ripped, leaving her naked much to his surprise. He decided to make her new clothes and went to the old man's place, only to find more towns built there, and that the old man had a grandchild now. After leaving the forest, he told Diane about marriage between two humans who love each other.

Diane asked if King loves her, to which the latter shyly nodded. Diane then asked him if he would always love her and stay by her side, which made him blush harder. Later that night, he finally remembered his identity, and found out that the village close by is on fire. He told Diane to sit back and hurriedly went to the village, only to find out that everyone died with their backs slashed. King found the man who killed him years ago, and was shocked to see him still alive. He then realized that it is Helbram using the identity of the person who hunted down the fairies for their wings. He got back up and decided to end Helbram's rage to humans, killing him in the end. King then went back to Diane to erase her memories of him, fearing that he will be unable to protect anyone any more. King was then captured by unknown Holy Knights for the crime of "Sloth" as he was a king, and was unaware of Helbram's mass murder of humans, and turning a blind eye. His sin eventually led him to become a member of the Seven Deadly Sins when King Liones formed the group. Despite being a former king and the oldest of the group, he is not assigned the role of the leader.

A long time ago, Ban went through a phase of collecting stuffed animals. He went round stealing every stuffed animal in the kingdom, thinking that he wouldn't be cursed if he did such a small deed as he worked hard as a knight. Immediately, King grew angry at Ban, complaining the little children throughout town are crying. Whilst Ban finally grew satisfied and fell asleep, King silently returned all of the stuffed toys to the children. Since then, King followed Ban wherever he goes to prevent him from causing trouble, giving other people an impression that they were the unlikely "dynamic" duo.

In an unspecified point of time, King and his teammates participated in a mission to wipe out a group of vampires at the castle of Edinburg. It was revealed by Gowther that Ban, who was very drunk, deliberately used Snatch to steal all of his and Diane's strength. Some time later, after the training, King accompanied Ban to a bar where he angrily glared at the immortal who passed out drinking while Meliodas was talking to Hendrickson and Dreyfus. At some point in time, he and his fellow Sins met up with King Liones who was with young Elizabeth. King did not recognize her until Gowther revealed it ten years later.

At the day of the betrayal, King and the rest of his teammates were summoned by Great Holy Knight Zaratras to meet with him at the castle. While walking with his fellow members, he reminded his captain, Meliodas, that he is always drinking when the latter mentioned that they should have attended the National Foundation Festival. They entered the room together and saw a murdered Zaratras, much to everyone's surprise. King obeyed Meliodas's last order to separate and hide until they can regroup.

Ten years ago, after the incident, King went back to his hometown to see his old family and friends. He discovered that a bandit had stolen the hidden treasure, the Fountain of Youth, and had killed the Guardian Saint, who was his sister. King later found out that it was Ban who had killed his sister and decided to take revenge on him by joining the Holy Knights.

Forest of White Dreams arc
King was first mentioned when Gilthunder claims that he perished in the Capital of the Dead. In the middle of Meliodas and Gilthunder's fight, King's death was told to Diane and Elizabeth.

Baste Dungeon arc
After Meliodas, Elizabeth, Diane, and Ban escaped the Baste Dungeon, a young boy was seen with the Grizzly symbol near his left ankle, floating in the air whilst watching the shooting stars in the sky from a window.

Capital of the Dead arc
King was looking out of the window when Gilthunder came in and told him that Ban has joined up with Meliodas and Diane. He then wondered why they decided to move. Gilthunder reassured King's loyalty to the kingdom, to which the latter coldly replied that he has his own ways of doing things. Suddenly, a Black Hound, named Oslow, entered the house and he welcomed it back. He asked if it had found Meliodas and the others and understood what it said. He then noticed something in its mouth and pulled out two Holy Knights crests, whilst telling Gilthunder that the rest of the Holy Knight better stay away or he will wipe them away along with his enemies. Later, he appeared before Ban and delivered a surprise attack by stabbing him in the chest. When Ban asked who he is, he replied that it is not important and quickly pierced his spear completely through Ban. Acknowledging the fact that Ban is confused by who he is, King revealed that Ban had killed the saint of the Fountain of Youth to obtain immortality. Immediately after hearing King stating his sin, Ban quickly sent Ellen and her brother away, and engaged in a battle.King swiftly hovered towards Ban, attempting to pierce him again with the spear, but failed.

Before Ban could return with an attack, King immediately used his levitation abilities to perform the technique, Bumblebee. Despite the simultaneous strikes, Ban still continued to dodge all of the attacks. Once again, the attack failed, forcing the impatient Ban to activate his ability Snatch. Just before he could activate it, Meliodas arrives and intervened in the battle. Diane and Meliodas immediately recognized King, while Ban was surprised and dumbfounded. Despite Diane being happy to meet him, he quickly flew away without saying a word. After escaping, he continued to watch over the rest from afar, whilst complaining that he made it appear as if he ran away. He then commented on how cute Diane is and how it is almost impossible that Meliodas still looks the same. Finally, he remembered Ban's sin in the Fairy King Forest, and exclaimed that Ban is fooling them. Out of the blue, Oslow barked at him and told him that the group has moved to the edge of the town. A subtle wind whipped up all the petal on the flower field, and the characters are all teleported to the Capital of the Dead. Noticing that Ban begins chasing a mysterious figure, King quickly followed, wondering how they were able to enter the Capital.

While continuing to chase Ban, King provoked him. The former tried to attack to latter, but failed. Noticing that King was able to dodge with ease, Ban finally acknowledged the fact that it is the real King, and began to fight more seriously. King used his pillow as a decoy, cushioning Ban's punch and dodging quickly. Stating that he did not desire to reunite with Ban in such a situation, King narrated how he came to discover his hometown has been burned to the ground and the death of his sister. His pillow transformed into a form of a giant stuffed bear, immobilizing Ban, exclaiming that the guardian saint whom Ban killed was his sister. When Ban, in response, declared that he is immortal and could not be killed, he used Chastiefol's Form Three: Fossilization that could petrify anything it impales. Ban's skin around the impaled area are shown to have petrified.

After Ban's body completely solidified, King started to move away, but noticed a sphere of light appearing in front of Ban. King is then shocked when he realized that it is actually Elaine. Confused, he saw Elaine kissing Ban and undoing the petrifaction. He asked why Ban can see Elaine whilst he could not, revealing his jealousy and disconcert. When he heard Elaine's voice, he asked to let him see her. King then questioned whether Elaine is still mad at him for abandoning her and isolating for many years. However, he exclaimed that there is no reason to save Ban, because he took everything from her. Angered, King asked what Ban is doing to his sister, only to hear Ban saying that he will make her his. King was left behind by Ban who heads out to assist Meliodas and Diane fighting against Guila. King continued to ask Elaine why she forgave Ban and not him, but Elaine simply replied that he left her alone for over 700 years, whereas Ban gave her renewed happiness in just seven days. Before King could say anything else, Elizabeth and Hawk arrived. He then asked who they are, so Elizabeth and Hawk introduced themselves as Meliodas's travelling companions. Elizabeth told him that a Holy Knight has suddenly appeared and is fighting against Meliodas and Diane, who in response, asked her whether she came to seek his help. Surprisingly, Elizabeth bravely told him to run away instead, while trying borrow his spear to fight against Guila. Feeling inspired by Elizabeth's bravery, King headed to the battle.

During the fight, King suddenly appeared behind and thrusted his spear through Ban to attack Guila. Ban asked him why he is there, to which he replied by saying that he is there to help Meliodas and Diane. Guila then blasted herself free and says that King's betrayal was expected. King then easily defended against Guila's next attack. When Guila confirmed that she wants all four to attack her, he confidently insisted that he will dear with her alone. He then easily put Guila on the run by having his spear chase her. When Guila used Brilliant Detonation, King used his spear's Form Five: Increase to defeat her technique and struck her down.

King then turned away, but Guila got out of the rubble and attacked him. He was saved by Meliodas's Full Counter and noticed that Guila's presence is gone. Afterwards, King, along with the rest, are rejected by the Capital, which Elaine thanked him for protecting Ban before they left. When they returned to the living world, they saw how Guila got to the Capital of the Dead. He then volunteered to petrify her, but Meliodas insisted that he will handle this.

Later, when everyone was eating fish, King asked Diane if she is okay, which the latter denied. Ban then exclaimed that she was faking it, which he disagreed and defended. King then asked who Elizabeth is, which Meliodas revealed as the princess of the Liones Kingdom. King is shocked and turned into his former form. King then properly introduced himself. He felt exhausted for maintaining his human form, and explained that it requires a lot of concentration. King then almost got into an argument with Ban, but Meliodas stopped them. Elizabeth compliments him on his fight against Guila, to which he accepted and explained that he is indeed powerful because of his sacred treasure. He then said that the Holy Knight has no chance against the other three if they had their treasures with them. He then shifted his attention to his fellow members and asked them what happened to their sacred treasure, and was shocked to know the stories.

King yelled at them when he heard how they lost their sacred treasures, which was given to them by a king (except Diane because he liked her), but Hawk asked him why it was such a big problem. King explained it by using the lake as a the sin's power, and told him that if they used a sacred treasures, they can carry a whole house of water as power. King then said that it would be pointless to argue and they should find them while finding the other members. The next day, King, Meliodas and Elizabeth went out to find information leaving Ban and Diane at the Boar's Hat to housesit. While walking, everyone was looking at them and to the group's surprise, they saw that Elizabeth had gained a wanted poster.

The town realized this and tried capture Elizabeth but Meliodas saved her and ran away. Later, when they are in an old tower, Meliodas told Elizabeth to stay put while he tried to find information. Later, Hawk ran toward them and told them what happen to Elizabeth, King decided to go back to Boar Hat to get help but then he saw Meliodas' serious face and said that they are doing it now. Meliodas and King made the plan and when Meliodas saved Elizabeth, they met again in the Boar Hat and went to the next town.

King told Diane that he will definitely come for her even if he does it alone which made Diane happy, but wonder if he does it to cheer her up. King realize that they should hurry and summon his pet, Oslow which King revealed its ability and try to transport them to Liones quick. But Diane was too big for Oslow and told King to push her butt to get her which made King blush and ordered Oslow to get bigger quick. When Diane was struck by Gilthunder's Thunderbolt attack, King witnessed Oslow being affected by that technique. After his comrade managed to fully enter from Oslow's mouth, King tended to his wounded pet. As Dreyfus was under Gowther's Nightmare Teller, a past version of King was seen glaring angrily at a drunken Ban next to table where Meliodas, Hendrickson and Dreyfus converse. King somehow manages to get to Liones to save Diane from Helbram, however, Diane was already in a near death state by Helbram which King looked in disbelief. King flew down, trying to find the one who damage Diane which the latter said that it wasn't Guila or Howzer since they try to protect her, but King punch Howzer despite his weak strength and started to blame them for not protecting her well.

Helbram handle all of King attacks and mention that King had a lot more power than in Byzel which King told Helbram to return to his true form and wanted to fulfill their promise of fighting against each other with full power from seven hundred years ago. Helbram turn back to his true form as a Fairy. King mention that he did not know it was Helbram back in Byzel since he was wearing a old helmet, but an angry Helbram quickly attacked King with a strange power that resemble a Great Holy Knight's power. Helbram told King that he couldn't get rid of his old helmet as it remind him of who he was, but King yelled at him to shut up. Helbram wonder what King see in Diane, but King ask Helbram he should understand how it feels to lose someone. Helbram start using the Sacred Tree branch to kill Diane, but King used all of his attacks to protect Diane from dying. As King was knocked around by the Sacred Tree, Helbram mention that King is unable to fully use Chastiefol to is true powers as the Sacred Tree that was forge from it, forsaken King for his failure in the past and that Helbram is a "True Fairy", the Sacred Tree is on his side. Helbram summon his roots to ruthless kill Diane as King watch. As the smoke clear up, Diane (as well as Howzer, Guila and Zeal) was protected by King with Chastiefol barrier form as Helbram looked in shock as King used up all of his power to make the barrier. Seeing Diane safe, a wounded King smiles.

King fly up close to Helbram, the latter wonder why the Sacred Tree had not forsake King and draw out so much power. King explain that the Chastiefol eighth form was made to protect others and slowly heals them as the Sacred Tree had pollen to heal itself when attack. King looked at Howzer and told him he was lucky to be near Diane when the healing shield appeared, as so was Guila, Zeal, Gowther, and Jericho. King told Helbram that the Sacred Tree was born to protect the Fairy Realm, and has no sentiments of evil. King explain that is the reason for him able to draw out more powers than Helbram. King asked Helbram whether he still intends to kill humans, Gustaf and his comrades who were allies to Helbram through Link, were shocked of their superior's true nature and as when the Cardinal ordered his subordinates to give all their powers to him, Gustaf and the others tried to break their connection to Link, only to be taken control by Helbram's Blind Follow and gave all their powers to the mad fairy to battle the Grizzly's Sin of Sloth. King summoned Chastiefol back to him and perphe to fight Helbram to his fullest power. As the two Fairies clashes with each other with their weapons, Helbram was starting to have a mental breakdown while King remind calm and told Helbram he could rest now, as King slash Helbram, defeating him and breaking his Link orb.

Before Helbram fell, he told King they were too late as Hendrickson has the Coffin of Eternal Darkness and Elizabeth, all the keys required to release the Demon Clan, King asks how Elizabeth was the final key, but Helbram told him to see for himself as he fell. King went close to the near-dead Helbram and picked up the helmet which Helbram revealed was meant to be a gift from him to King when he got it from the humans seven hundred years ago, and said he was stupid as the helmet was dumb and ugly. King started to break down in tears, saying he agreed and left the helmet on top of Helbram's dead body. King floated towards the injured Diane and apologized to her for getting her into trouble, but Diane instead thanks him for saving her. King told Diane to leave everything to him, but Diane then said Harlequin which surprised King until Diane said that name simply sounded nostalgic to her, but didn't know why. King smiles and said it could have been a dream. Howzer asks King that if the Deadly Sins aren't after the kingdom, why were they here. King explains that Elizabeth was kidnapped and they came to rescue her, but Dreyfus appeared out of nowhere and attacked King from the back. However, the Fairy King used Chastiefol to knock Dreyfus away and held him away by floating the blade at the latter's neck. King told Dreyfus that according to Helbram, Elizabeth was going to be used to bring back the Demon Clan, possibly through sacrifice. Howzer was shocked to hear this news, and Guila reveals that Hendrickson was behind the plan and the New Generation were a part of it. King continued to ask Dreyfus if he was a part of the plan and should pick his answer carefully or die.

Diane attempts to get up while King tries to convince her to rest since she is still badly injured, but Diane refuses as Elizabeth needs to be saved and King's pollen healed her. As everyone gets ready, King tells Diane if Elizabeth is Diane's precious friend, then he would do anything to save her and that Elizabeth is the reason that all the Deadly Sins are reunited. The group then heads out to Hendrickson's location to save Elizabeth. While on their way, King and the other Sins sense a large amount of power exerted with very strong force in a nearby battle. Gowther explains that Meliodas is fighting against three Great Holy Knights, at which Diane begs King to go and help Meliodas. King refuses as he wants to remain near Diane since she is still injured and knows that Meliodas is fine on his own. After being joined by Meliodas, Gilthunder, and Margaret, the group heads to the castle to rescue Barta and Elizabeth. On the way, Meliodas explains to the group about Gilthunder's situation and Arthur informs them of his identity and reason for being in Liones. Suddenly, the group are teleported to a forest. King attempts to fight Vivian, but her returns to Liones, leaving King and the group to be lost in the forest. Fortunately, the group are teleported back to Liones by Arthur's cloaked friend, who is soon revealed to be Merlin of the Seven Deadly Sins.

After Merlin set Elizabeth and Baltra freed Elizabeth was worried over Diane wounds until Diane revealed that she was saved by King and was glad she was fine. Meliodas point out that they have defeated Hendrickson and freed the king, and ask Dreyfus what would he do now. As Dreyfus admitted defeated and was crying to know Griamore is alive, Meliodas happily declare that everything was fixed. However, after Merlin, Arthur and Barta left to treat the king wound, the castle was attacked by Hendrickson and awake every New Generation demon blood. As Jericho transform into Demon and was about to kill Jericho and the slowly transforming Guila, Gowther along with Diane appeared and stop Jericho from killing. Gowther used Invasion on Jericho and Guila to keep them calm. King seeing the situation, was about to kill Jericho to save Diane as she has few strength left. However, Meliodas stop King for a moment and told him it was strange how all of the New Generation suddenly became Demons, and realize someone has active them. Hendrickson came face to face with the Deadly Sins and the Holy Knights, explaining that he did all of this and was after Elizabeth. Hendrickson offers to spare Meliodas and the others if Elizabeth come with him, as he doesn't want to kill "one of his kind", but the group refuse to hand over Elizabeth to him, and King ambush him until he was attacked by Helbram who was revive thanks to Hendrickson forbidden technique. Hendrickson explain to King how he found Helbram and that now he is just a lifeless shell of his former self which brought the Fairy King to tears, knowing that his friend is a slave to Hendrickson. Battling Helbram again, King pleads his best friend to stop.

While fighting against each other again, King refused to fight him as he already killed him twice, and doesn't feel right to kill him a third time. Ban then attacked King which infuriated him, until Ban explained it was Meliodas's order as captain of the Deadly Sins to take things seriously. Helbram drew out his last remaining will to tell King is fine with him if King killed him as he was still his best friend. King, however still refused to kill Helbram, still feeling guilty over how many time he killed him which made Helbram to yell as he explained that they are no longer friends which brought a tear to King eyes as he summon Chastiefol Form Four, Sunflower and killed Helbram by destroying his body as the latter smiled in relief. King picked up Helbram old helmet and wondered if they are still friends in the end. As Ban figured out a way to return New Generation back to normal, Ban and King teamed up to remove the strange "plant" inside of them while the others went and save Elizabeth.

King rejoined the other Deadly Sins member at Merlin Old Castle to face Hendrickson in the final battle. As King battled against Hendrickson with the aid of Meliodas and Diane, Ban was slam against the wall by Hendrickson which made Ban furious as he revealed that the wall he smashed against was a Red Demon, to everyone's shock. King was even more surprised when he found out that the Red Demon was in Fairy King's Forest during its destruction which made King question Ban's sin in killing Elaine and drinking the water from the Fountain of Youth. When Ban slammed Hendrickson into the ground, the Deadly Sins, without Diane due to her size, went inside with King using Form Seven: Luminosity to light the way. The Deadly Sins were shocked to see a Gray Demon which Hendrickson revealed that it has greater power than the Red Demon and put its blood into him, gaining him a new form and much more powerful as he easily destroy Ban upper half.

Meliodas along with the other Deadly Sins, were blown out of Merlin Old Castle and badly injured due to Hendrickson's new found power. Diane, however, reacted and used Rising Meteor on Hendrickson, sending him to the sky. Diane told King to finish him, which the latter did by almost using Form Eight until Hendrickson used Dark Nebula to defeat them. King grew furious when Hendrickson killed Hawk while protecting Meliodas and Elizabeth. When Elizabeth unlocked her hidden power and healed everyone, Meliodas thought of a plan and ask Gowther to use his ability to spread the message, but King was in tears, trying to reveal to Meliodas that Gowther was killed as his head was chopped off, but to Diane and King horror and shock, Gowther was still fine as he was searching for his glasses while holding his head. Once Gowther spread the message through Broadcast, King and along with the Deadly Sins attacked Meliodas and Hendrickson with all of their powers, which revealed that Meliodas is charging up for Revenge Counter, his ultimate technique, as it finally killed Hendrickson, ending his reign. Once Baltra returned from Camelot with Merlin by his side, he forgave the Holy Knights and cleared the Deadly Sins name for their crime. As the others started to grieve over Hawk death, the black matter on the pig dead body started to be remove and revealed that Hawk is alive, but shrunken. However, everyone was still joyful for their friend being alive, except for King who was still puzzled by Hawk's size.

Current arc
As Liones is being rebuilt, King, while Oslow is on top of him, was wondering how Diane is feeling after seeing Meliodas and Elizabeth hugging each other after Hendrickson's defeat, and believed that Diane is feeling depressed due to her feeling toward Meliodas. However, King realized that this could be the chance for him to make Diane fall for him instead, but stopped himself when he realized that he can't make Diane fall for him because she sees him as her comrade instead of a lover. Oslow barked at King, which the latter understood, but he said that he is a Fairy and couldn't help. But, when a large column was about to fall on an old man, King quickly saved him by levitating it and told the old man to be more wary. The old man was thankful for King's help, and revealed that he was distracted because his wife left him, which greatly depressed King, thinking Diane could leave them due to Meliodas's relationship with Elizabeth.

King begged for help to remove the large column until Diane appeared in a regular human size and lifted the column with ease as it surprise everyone. King was shocked to see Diane in regular size, but revealed that Merlin offered her magical pills called Minimum Tablets that allowed her to shrink for seven hours as her clothes is being repaired. King continued to stare at Diane, which the latter noticed and asked him if she looks strange in western clothes or being small in general. King, however, revealed that he doesn't care if Diane is big or small, she is still Diane, which made her smile. King asked Diane if she could invite Meliodas to the National Foundation Festival despite calling himself stupid in his head as he wanted to ask Diane, expert to his shock, Diane ask King out instead. The next day, King put Helbram's helmet on his hood to remember him as the rest of the Deadly Sins got new uniform as well, expert for Merlin. The Deadly Sins end up celebrating the festival while working in the Boar Hat along with everybody else. However, when Ban was about to leave the Deadly Sins, King comforted him and told him to let Elaine's death go, which Ban refuse and told King that he is going back to the Fairy King's Forest much to King shock.

However, King doesn't believe Ban as the latter tends to lie a lot, and that he saw the burned down forest ten years ago, but Ban decided to leave him and went on his journey. Having trouble believing Ban, King followed the bandit in order to find out the truth despite meaning leaving the group for a short period of time. While following Ban, they spotted Jericho who was following them as she was still mad at Ban for stripping her clothes and power from before. As the three journey together, Jericho questions the existence of Fairies and the forest which King realizes that she was born after the forest was burned down. When a fog appeared out of nowhere, Ban told them that they were there much to King and Jericho's shock, they found themselves in the newly made Fairy's King Forest to King great joy as he also spot his old Fairies friend, Cisca, Ende, and Melik. However, King was greatly saddened and shocked to find out that his friends hate him for leaving the forest for seven hundred years and now believe that Ban is their new king instead of King. Still depressed over the Fairies hating him, King continued to journey inside the forest under Ban protective where he found Elaines grave which led to King shedding a tear and run away. King grew more depressed as he didn't want to face Elaines grave as he still sees himself as a failure while a group of Fairies appeared and start attacking King for his failure until Oslow appeared and defended King.

When Oslow asks King to return back to the kingdom, King brushes it off as he knows he is not needed in Liones and wondered what should he do since he is either a Fairy King or a Deadly Sins which made King shed tears and wears Helbram helmet when he ended up not only hearing his old best friend voice, but seeing him as well. King freaked out and wondered what is happening until Helbram explain that his spirit rests within the helmet and only King could see him once he wears the helmet possibly by killing Helbram three times, but unsure about the theory. Helbram joked around, saying that he can't enter the Capital of the Dead due to either unfinished business or killing humans for 500 years, but Helbram told King that Elaine sent him a message which was to look after King and to protect Ban. While King sulked over Elaine's message, Helbram ends up mentioning Hendrickson which scared King, thinking the villain is still alive, but Helbram brushes it off as he thought he was overreacting. Later, King asks Jericho when she is planning to leave as only a few selected humans were allowed to be in the forest which Jericho replied that wherever Ban goes, she would show more value than a dead brat which Ban overhears and strips her out of anger. Ban revealed that he was not going back to the Boar Hat and was planning on going on a journey to find a way to bring Elaine back alive to which Jericho offered to come along as his disciple as she owns him a debt which Ban refuses.

However, King tries to convince Ban to return by asking Merlin for help or to fix his relationship with Meliodas which Ban refused. Ban than teases King, saying he should return back to Boar Hat as Diane will "die of loneliness" if King isn't with her which made King mad for teasing him until Ban revealed that it was true when a few days ago, Diane admitted that she is lonely without King while King went out to get supplies. King was shock at this news as he believes Diane somehow regained her lost memories of him to which Ban smiled and told him to go home.

Abilities/Equipment
King is shown to be an incredibly formidable opponent, able to deftly maneuver his spear with ease. He is strong enough to overpower a Holy Knight single-handedly. Being a Fairy, King has demonstrated a number of abilities unique to his species; such as the ability to levitate or fly, the ability to change his appearance and clothes at will, as well as possessing great speed equal to Meliodas and Ban. Upon unleashing his true power, Meliodas and Ban commented that his strength grew to "an incredible level". This was later re-affirmed when he defeated Helbram, a Great Holy Knight level combatant, while protecting all the injured in the area; then almost immediately after, swiftly defeated Dreyfus, one of the Great Holy Knights of Liones, despite the injuries he sustained from his battle with Helbram. During his reign as the Fairy King, his power was said to be so great that it kept the human kingdom from invading the Fairy King's Forest. It should be noted that this included the Holy Knights of Liones.

Despite his great power, King is physically weak, however, he makes up for his lack of strength with his sacred treasure, Spirit Spear Chastiefol. In spite of his lack of physical strength, he has shown a remarkable level of durability as shown in his second battle with Helbram. It was believed that King was able to control the Sacred Tree a long time ago and with it draw out the true power of a fairy, but the tree abandoned King for an unknown reason. This was later proven to be false as the Sacred Tree has no evil intentions at all and it was King who did not want to fully utilize the Sacred Tree's powers.

Immense Speed: King is extremely swift, as observed when he not only effortlessly evaded the attacks of both Guila and Jericho simultaneously, but also knocked them unconscious before either of them could realize it. He is also able to keep up with fellow sins Meliodias and Ban in terms of speed.

Enhanced Durability: Despite lacking physical strength, King has a remarkable level of durability as shown in the Kingdom Infiltration arc where he not only fought and defeated Helbram, but also, pinned down Dreyfus immediately after, despite the injuries he sustained against Helbram.

Immense Endurance: King has shown to have incredible levels of endurance as noted when he was able to take the damage of Helbram's attacks without even shielding himself to protect Diane and sustain the strikes of the great beast Albion. Part of the reason for this could be the sheer willpower of King to protect everybody and everything he cares for.

Spirit Spear Chastiefol
King's sacred treasure, the Spirit Spear, Chastiefol, is a spear crafted from the sacred tree, only found in the Fairy Realm. It is much stronger than steel and possesses the mysterious qualities of the tree, which King's ability, Disaster, draws out.

 * Levitation: King possesses the ability to levitate and is capable of flight because he is a fairy. He demonstrates great skill in using it and is able to move quickly through the air.

 * Transformation: An ability that allows King to change his physical appearance as well as his clothes. In order for King to change appearance, he requires a great amount of concentration.
