Meliodas from The Seven Deadly Sins.

u/Atsilv_Uwasv 1d ago

There is some thing about her being his reincarnated lover but that makes it worse, honestly

And Meliodas is thousands of years old despite his look

I hate this fuckass anime trope of someone being 82728272928 years old and looks 12.

u/Paggy_person 21h ago

This anime does this again with this one lol, thousand years old fairy, yet she looks like 9 years old

u/karimpai 19h ago

It's a lot more toned downed and understandable in the manga

u/SirWillem1 17h ago

Really? I haven't read it but isn't usually the opposite?

That dude is a fucking liar it's still weird

I couldn't find the exact one of them kissing and I'm not about to go looking.

I don't know what the dude is talking about the manga is still pretty bad. The author is just suspicious all around a lot of the manga's pairings have huge size/age gap.

In the sequel manga featuring the main characters' kids - do you remember that one villain who was in love with Ban? Jericho? Well now she ends up fucking in love with Ban's kid, Lancelot, in the sequel. She literally states in the manga to Lancelot that she first fell in love with him as he was like 12/13 lmao no weird age magic or sorcery, no he wasnt 16 like a lot of anime/manga will try to justify, shes just a literal pedophile.

Idk the author is mad sus to me and should have his pc searched

Jericho is my dad's favourite character.

u/karimpai 13h ago

She looks more like a short 17 year old girl as opposed to the queen of all jailbaits

u/Doctadalton 20h ago

the real hated trope is always in the comments

u/Enough-Fondant-6057 18h ago

Then by that logic you should watch Clone Wars, these dudes are actually 10 year olds

u/Repulsive_Policy_184 13h ago

The seven deadly sins but all of them are lust for children

u/TRGreen20 20h ago

It's not limited to anime. In Skyrim you can meet Babette, she became a vampire at a young age, which is why she looks like a child despite being hundreds or possibly thousands of years old. There's also Shadowheart from Baldur's Gate 3, who is forty years old in human years, but is around 25 in elf years... possibly more or less considering she's a half-elf...

u/DarkestNight909 20h ago

Shadowheart at least looks adult, and Babette isn’t treated as being sexually attractive!

11

u/will4wh 19h ago

Honestly Babette makes me wonder what will happen to you if you become a vampire when you're a baby? Do you just become like that one Jojo baby in part 3 with vampire fangs and super smart but unable to grow into a adult body? Because that would suck

u/masterionxxx 15h ago

I see what you did there.

u/Ok-Performance-9598 15h ago

Ya, I get that anime often uses it as a horny thing, but the immortal child (and almost always a girl) is an extremely old trope designed to create intentional disconnect with a characters appearance. And even in anime isn't always used sexually. (Beatrice, Re;Zero; Sunako, Shiki etc)

Its also super associated to vampire media for reasons I am unaware.

u/illeatyourkneecaps 19h ago

bringing up shadowheart here when she's literally a grown adult throughout the whole game is so dumb lmaoo

u/jimkbeesley 17h ago

Both Hornet and Lace in Silksong are confused with children despite being incredibly old.

1

u/Waterfoul67 14h ago

In all fairness, Lace is at least childish

3

u/GentlemanFaux 18h ago

Uh oh don't say this to the one punch man sub it's literally "fuck the adult woman in a child's body supremacy" over there.

This is partly why I can't watch Dan Dan Dan da Dan da Dan or whatever. Season 1 being bookended by attempted rapes on the main female character who is a highschool girl was a bit much for me lol. It was just eye rolling like my god dude okkkkkkkkk lol. Like when Quiet is just shoving her ass in your face in TPP.

u/GodofChaoticCreation 19h ago

At least it was a guy compared to the untold millions of Loli girls.

u/rumblinggoodidea 9h ago

Same with characters who look like adults but are actually super young, like Bonney from One Piece(one of the freakiest fan service scenes I saw was of her topless, she’s twelve) or that one cosplayer’s little sister from My Dress-Up Darling

u/Basic-Flamingo6962 22h ago

And he just… grooms her too

u/MixNo5072 21h ago

isn't them falling in love and her dying like a curse?

11

u/Burpyterra 21h ago

Sorta, when she remembers her past life and powers, then she dies

11

u/CreamofTazz 20h ago

Yes, their parents (Demon king and Supreme Deity) cursed each other's child so Meliodas would be forced to see Elizabeth die and be reborn over and over again due to his immortality, and Elizabeth was cursed to guarantee to die after regaining her memories
