Jericho is a major supporting character in the previous anime, but she has yet to appear in Four Knights of the Apocalypse. This has led some to wonder what happened to Jericho after The Seven Deadly Sins.
The previous anime’s epilogue showed Jericho continuing to be an active character. In the sequel anime, Jericho will appear, but not as fans may expect.
Spoiler Warning: There are Seven Deadly Sins and Four Knights of the Apocalypse spoilers in this article.
Jericho and Ban’s Relationship, Explained
Jericho is a former Holy Knight of Liones. She is a character who is most closely associated with Ban, one of the Seven Deadly Sins and the father of Lancelot.
The two’s relationship has taken a lot of twists and turns over the series. First, Jericho felt humiliated by Ban during the Baste Dungeon arc after he stole her clothes.
This led to Jericho drinking demon blood to get enough power to take revenge on Ban. Jericho’s feelings change though, as Ban saves her from becoming a full demon.
After this, Jericho developed an infatuation with Ban. By the end of the series, their relationship became more sibling-like.
In the epilogue, Jericho became a Holy Knight of Benwick. There, she served under Ban and became the mentor of his son, Lancelot. Jericho and Lancelot also appear in a side story.
The end of The Seven Deadly Sins seems to have given Jericho a happy ending, though that won’t last.

What Happened to Jericho After The Seven Deadly Sins?
As revealed in the Grudge of Edinburgh movie, Jericho and Lancelot return three years after disappearing. Instead of returning under Ban, Jericho becomes a Holy Knight of Camelot under King Arthur.
Thus, Jericho becomes a villain in Four Knights of the Apocalypse as she now serves the series’ primary antagonist.
The reason for this is that she has fallen in love with Lancelot, though he only sees her as a mentor figure.
In response, Jericho decides to serve under Arthur in Camelot as the king gave her a world where Lancelot would return her feelings.
This fact is revealed by Jericho to Lancelot when the two come face-to-face in the manga’s Chaos in Liones arc.
Fans will be able to see this unfold in the Four Knights of the Apocalypse anime, which is set to cover the said arc in its next episodes.
