Fans of the popular anime series Seven Deadly Sins were in for a treat when former Mr. Universe, Mike O’Hearn, recently recreated an iconic scene from the show. The 55-year-old bodybuilder took to Instagram to share a short clip featuring a memorable moment from Season 3, Episode 22, titled “Return of the Sins.”

In the video, the ‘Adonis’ of bodybuilding channels his inner Escanor as he reenacts the intense showdown between the Lion’s Sin of Pride and the Estarossa. He accompanied the clip with a caption, “BABY DON’T HURT HIM, seven deadly sins,” capturing the gist of the scene and teasing fans with his portrayal.

For those who don’t follow the anime, Estarossa is a member of the Ten Commandments and poses a formidable threat with his ability to manipulate darkness. On the contrary, Escanor, known for his immense strength that peaks at noon, represents the light and righteousness that the Sins uphold.

Despite a harness being visible in the video, O’Hearn’s super-jacked physique made fans believe he was capable of lifting another human being with his punch. Some fans also imply that O’Hearn’s strength alone was sufficient to make the scene believable. “You don’t need the cables though,” wrote one fitness enthusiast.
