So the archangel Ludociel was given the grace "flash" by the Supreme Deity.
It's said he can move almost instantly. Does this make him the fastest
character in the series? Or do characters like Meliodas or Ban who have been
shown to be very fast compete with his speed?

Is Ludociel the fastest character in Nanatsu no Taizai?


**We do not know the upper limits of Flash, neither do we know how it fares
against other quick characters.**

There have been no satisfying points of comparison between Ludociel and other
extremely quick characters. The wiki only notes that "[it] allows Ludociel to
move at immense speeds which appears as a form of teleportation." which is
consistent with Flash's depiction within the series. Both Derrierie and
Escanor, two experienced fighters ranking among the strongest characters in
the series, were completely unable to follow Ludociel's movements.

Flash, generally speaking, has been scarcely used and is thus hard to describe
and quantify. If we try to understand its inner workings by comparing it to
other angelic Graces, we can infer its strength directly stems from the
natural element of light (it _could_ be lightning thematically, but we have
seen numerous weaker characters reacting to and dodging lightning). Both Ocean
(from Sariel) and Tornado (from Tarmiel) have demonstrated the ability to
create a pocket universe almost exclusively containing their own element
(manifesting as a windy ocean when they combine their abilities).

The best explanation we can try to offer for Flash is that it is a light-based
Grace allowing Ludociel to literally move at the speed of light, thus
explaining his extreme unmatched speed. If this theory is true, it is very
unlikely other characters could possibly match him in a speed contest.
