In the intro of each Nanatsu no Taizai episode it says

"This is a story when the world was still divided into humans and non-humans".

Does this mean the story is supposed to happen in this world Earth? Even when
there are all kinds of strange races and all that?

Does Nanatsu no Taizai happen in Earth?


We cannot be sure.

The first reason is Britannia's size. While [Britannia](https://nanatsu-no-
taizai.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Britannia) and its surrounding areas might be
based on the real-world United Kingdom, _the story considers it as a
continent, not a country_. This would mean that there is a possibility of
Britannia being bigger than its real-world counterpart.

Another reason is that as far as I know, only Britannia was the focus of the
story. There is no way to know how the other continents or countries are
supposed to be like unless the mangaka reveals them.

Hence, we cannot check if _Nanatsu no Taizai_ occurs in an alternate version
of Earth, one with the same continents but different history and species.
