Voice Actor (Japanese): Yukari Kaida

Gelda is one of the vampire royal family members who was sealed away by the Demon Clan.

She is deeply in love with Zeldris, creating one of the most tragic and romantic relationships in the series.

As a vampire, Gelda has an exceptionally high regenerative ability.

Because she has drunk the blood of Zeldris, a member of the Demon Clan, she can remain alive even if her head is severed.

Her story revolves around sacrifice, despair, and an unwavering love that survives over 3,000 years of separation.

Despite her immense power, Gelda is emotionally fragile, burdened by guilt and exhaustion from her vampiric nature.

Gelda is calm, intelligent, and emotionally mature, but also deeply melancholic.

The long years of feeding on blood have left her tired of life and of the cruelty associated with her race.

She is fiercely loyal to Zeldris and trusts him completely.

Even when despairing over their future, she never stops loving him or believing in his true self.

Her sharp insight into people is highlighted when she instantly distinguishes the real Zeldris from illusions in the Demon King’s mental world.

Gelda also has a dark sense of humor and is not above lightly threatening Zeldris when he doubts her identity.

Gelda inherits the natural traits of the Vampire Clan, amplified by the blood of Zeldris.

Her abilities make her extremely hard to kill and a dangerous opponent.

High Regeneration:

She possesses outstanding regenerative abilities typical of vampires.

Even having her head torn off is not enough to kill her.

Empowered by Demon Blood:

By drinking Zeldris’s demonic blood, her durability and regeneration are further enhanced.

This synergy makes her effectively immortal under most physical attacks.

Blood Manipulation / Fire Attack:

After her seal is broken, a fellow vampire named Ren attacks Meliodas.

Gelda casually incinerates Ren from behind, demonstrating lethal magical power and decisiveness.

Mental World Infiltration:

During the battle against the Demon King possessing Zeldris’s body, Gelda bites the Demon King’s neck.

Through this, she slips into his mental world with ease, something even the Seven Deadly Sins struggled to fully handle.

Illusion Discrimination:

Inside the Demon King’s mental domain, countless fake Zeldris figures are created.

Gelda unerringly identifies the real Zeldris, proving a connection deeper than any illusion.

Gelda and Zeldris are confirmed lovers who share a mutual, deeply rooted love.

Zeldris considers her the one person he truly wants to protect from the bottom of his heart.

When the Demon King discovers the Vampire Clan’s uprising that piggybacks on Meliodas’s betrayal, he orders the execution of the vampires.

Zeldris is appointed as their executioner and, to save Gelda, chooses to seal the vampires instead of killing them.

Gelda understands both Zeldris’s duty and his love, making their relationship tragic yet genuine.

Their feelings never fade over 3,000 years, even through sealing, war, and the Demon King’s possession.

During the mental world battle, Zeldris is shocked when Gelda appears in front of him.

He asks if she is really the real Gelda, prompting her irritated, slightly threatening reply that he cannot even tell whether his lover is real or fake.

This flusters Zeldris so much that he sweats and hurriedly apologizes.

Her sharp remark shows their intimate dynamic: affection mixed with teasing and absolute trust.

When Meliodas later wonders how she saw through the illusions when even he could not, Gelda simply says:

“Wouldn’t you be able to tell if it were Elizabeth Liones?”

This explanation perfectly resonates with Meliodas and reinforces the parallel between the two couples.

After the Demon King’s defeat, Gelda and Zeldris return to the Demon Realm to live together.

They finally gain the peaceful life that was denied to them for three millennia.

Ancient Era and the Seal

Gelda belongs to the Vampire royal family, a powerful clan that ends up in conflict with the Demon Clan.

When Meliodas betrays the Demon Clan, the Vampire Clan takes advantage of the chaos to initiate their own revolt.

The Demon King notices this uprising and decides to crush the Vampire Clan.

He orders their execution and appoints Zeldris as the executioner of the vampire royal family.

Zeldris, deeply in love with Gelda, cannot bring himself to kill her.

To save her and deceive the Demon King, he opts for sealing instead of execution, putting Gelda and the vampires into a long slumber.

This seal lasts about 3,000 years.

During this time, Zeldris continues to work under the Demon King, carrying the pain of his choice and their separation.

Early Unsealing and Despair

Gelda’s seal is broken roughly 12 years before the official revival of the Ten Commandments.

Upon awakening in the new era, she becomes overwhelmed by despair regarding her fate and Zeldris’s.

Tired of surviving by drinking blood and burdened by her existence, Gelda decides she no longer wants to live.

When Meliodas comes to exterminate the vampires, she asks him to kill her.

Meliodas, however, refuses to grant her wish.

Instead of killing her, he once again quietly seals her, preserving her life until the time is right.

This second seal is less about punishment and more about protection and hope.

Meliodas seems to respect both Zeldris’s feelings and Gelda’s importance in his brother’s life.

Release After the Holy War

After the Holy War concludes in the present era, Meliodas releases Gelda’s seal.

Freed at last, she immediately sets out to find Zeldris, who has disappeared.

Her search eventually leads her to the decisive battle where the Seven Deadly Sins fight the Demon King, who has taken over Zeldris’s body.

Gelda appears in front of the group, determined to rescue the man she loves.

She bites the Demon King’s neck, effortlessly entering his spiritual world.

There, she navigates through countless false Zeldris figures until she identifies the real one and pulls him out.

Inside this mental world, Gelda and Zeldris fight side by side with Meliodas against the Demon King.

Their combined efforts contribute to the eventual defeat of the Demon King and the liberation of Zeldris.

Life After the Demon King’s Defeat

Once the Demon King is defeated and Zeldris is free, the couple finally earns their future.

Gelda and Zeldris choose to go to the Demon Realm together.

They settle down there, away from the chaos of war and political schemes.

For the first time in ages, they live as partners rather than soldiers or pawns.

Their story after this point is quieter but full of emotional payoff.

It marks the completion of their long, tragic arc into one of healing and shared peace.

Gelda reappears in the sequel series Four Knights of the Apocalypse.

By this time, she is living in the Demon Realm alongside Zeldris.

At some point when the main protagonist Percival is still a young child, he accidentally wanders into the Demon Realm.

During this period, Gelda and Zeldris take care of Percival for a while.

Percival, being very young and unable to pronounce her name clearly, calls her “Geda” instead of “Gelda.”

This small detail shows a softer side of Gelda, as she becomes part caretaker, part guardian to the future hero.

Her presence in the sequel emphasizes her lasting importance in the world and to Zeldris.

It also hints that, despite her dark origins as a vampire noble, she is capable of warmth and kindness toward others.

Zeldris choosing sealing over execution to save Gelda and his clan.

Gelda asking Meliodas to kill her, revealing her exhaustion with a life sustained by blood.

Meliodas refusing to kill her and re-sealing her instead, preserving her for the future.

Gelda burning Ren from behind when he attacks Meliodas, showing her deadly resolve.

Her dramatic entrance into the battle against the Demon King possessing Zeldris.

Biting the Demon King’s neck and entering his mental world without hesitation.

Effortlessly identifying the real Zeldris among countless illusions.

Teasing and scolding Zeldris for doubting whether she is the real Gelda.

Explaining to Meliodas that love lets you recognize the real person, just as he would recognize Elizabeth Liones.

Leaving for the Demon Realm with Zeldris after the Demon King’s defeat to live together in peace.
