King initially harbored intense hatred for Ban because he erroneously believed Ban was responsible for the death of his beloved sister, Elaine.
Both King, also known as the Grizzly's Sin of Sloth, and Ban, the Fox's Sin of Greed, are prominent members of the renowned group, the Seven Deadly Sins. Despite their shared affiliation, a profound animosity existed on King's part towards Ban, stemming from a tragic event in King's past.
The Root of King's Resentment
King's deep-seated desire for vengeance was the primary driver of his hatred for Ban. His reasons can be summarized as follows:
- Belief in Ban's Culpability: King was firmly convinced that Ban had murdered his younger sister, Elaine. Elaine served as the guardian saint of the Fountain of Youth, and her death was a devastating blow to King, leading him to believe Ban was responsible.
- Desire for Retribution: This conviction fueled King's intent to actively seek out and kill Ban, believing it was the only way to avenge Elaine's death.
The Truth Behind Elaine's Death
While King's hatred was fueled by this belief, the actual circumstances of Elaine's demise were different. She was tragically killed not by Ban, but by a Demon's purgatory fire. King's animosity, therefore, was founded on a misconception regarding the true events surrounding his sister's death, which he later came to understand.
