Each of the brothers in ‘Obey Me’ represents one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Lucifer is the Avatar of Pride, Satan is of Wrath, Leviathan Envy, Mammon Greed, Beelzebub Gluttony, Belphegor Sloth, and Asmodeus Lust. The anime and the original game have been heavily inspired by Abrahamic mythology. The anime might depict the 7 main characters attending the academy and drawing the attention of humans and other demons alike. Other Biblical characters that appear in the game, including Luke, Simeon, and Solomon, might appear in the show.

Diavolo, the de facto ruler of all demons, might also make an appearance in the show. ‘Obey Me’ will probably focus on the dynamic between the 7 brothers. It will also probably depict their romantic lives, as, after all, the anime is based on an otome game. The show might also depict the close friendship between Lucifer and Diavolo, who have been friends for thousands of years.

Lucifer is not only the oldest of the brothers but also the strongest. He might fulfill a leadership role in the anime as he is also the most reserved among all the siblings. The brothers might be depicted as the personifications of the Sins they represent. Lucifer might be extremely prideful, while Mammon will probably be incredibly greedy. In one of the episodes, the brothers might end up swapping bodies with each other, leading to hilarious results.
