Poor Helck, this was unfortunate case of bad luck and it looks like they ran into a massive whirlpool. Too bad. Their fun was cut short from that.

He and Vamiro also get arrested too, yikes. I like how Helck handled all this though. Crazy cliffhanger.

I could of defo went for Helck just crushing that monstrosity at the end with a single hand grab but looks like they saving it for a bit more battle. i did like Helck kinda give a more seroius face after giant octopus slashed him and took him underwater. Totally went back to full Helck after Anne was kinda feeling bad as she got to shore. Passing the goal line was cute, there relationship dynamic has been a fantastic arc. Even that little critter thing then pretending to have handcuffs, people cursed, Helck and Anne totally both being pissed off. lets go!!!!!

The question regarding battle involving Helck is not about the result, but about how fast can he win.

I never expected Helck to appear on the island's shore with a "goal" sign, waiting for Piwi and Vermilio, especially after their close encounter with the Kraken. That's just classic Helck.

Those Tothman troublemakers quickly learned not to mess with Helck. He effortlessly swatted one of them into a wall like a fly. Helck was handling them like a pro until the king got a sudden power boost. It's unclear whether he's possessed or found some kind of powerful item, but it'll be intriguing to see how his new form matches up against Helck.

Lmao piwi asking to be handcuffed and being upset when they couldn’t find one to fit him had me dying. I love this little fella

So this world is actually really big. It seems like the demons haven’t done much exploring or venturing outside their own kingdom. If they’re back on the continent you’d think vamirio would know about this kingdom and the trothman, but she didn’t seem to know anything.

The trothman warriors suddenly getting power ups and taking down the kingdom seems suspiciously similar to the same ability the humans have gained. They must have similar origins. Even with that, Helck swatted them aside like flies. The king’s full power barrage doing nothing to Helck was funny as hell.

That powered up form looks like it could be somewhat of a problem, but we know Helck will get the job done in the end, just a matter of how long it takes. Really excited to learn more about what this ominous power really is though.

The episode starts with quite the fight, which not only confirms how strong Helck is but also that Vermilio might have grown a little bit attached to him after all. Follows some real funny moments on the shore.
And then we get into what this episode is really about: the story of the little kingdom, its people and this 'barbarian' tribe who got very overpowered all of a sudden and took over them (hmm it reminds me of something, I wonder how it might be connected to the suddenly overpowered humans).

Overall, a pretty great episode, certainly intriguing, with lots of good action and a couple of very funny moments.

Vermilio cares more about Helck than even she probably realizes as was shown when she was upset when Helck was waiting for them on the island. Vermilio used Piwi instead of her own feelings to tell Helck to consider other people's feelings and not just run off. Btw, it was funny how Piwi and Helck wanted Vermilio to cross the Goal line and she obliged. Side note, I find it entertaining when Vermilio gets mad and goes on tirade.

When the cursed people mentioned that their enemies have powered up and the leader showed a transformation I couldn't help but think about the humans that have gone through their own transformation and I wonder if their origins are related, guessing we'll find out.

They got me laughing pretty good when Anne from management was punching the ground full of regret only to show that she was actually frustrated about Helck arriving earlier, but it was genuinely impressive that the kraken or whatever received Helck punches and felt nothing, it seems the unknown word power levels are insane. So there is some sort of power or someone is awakening not only humans but other races as well.

I don't know why but I ended up laughing a lot this episode.

  • Helck, in true dumb jock super hero fashion, jumps on the Octopus and "ineffectively" battles it with his fists, then gets sucked into the Whirlpool
  • Anne makes it to the island, only to see Helck already there with the Goal Sign
  • Apparently after beating the Octopus, Helck had to swim to avoid the whirlpool, before he knew it he was at the Island!
  • Piwwi makes Anne go past the Goal sign, because you just need that Achievement Unlocked medal.
  • The skr... skor ... argh, the derp face aquatic llama is set free
  • Anne BERATES Helck for not returning to the boat or asking for help, projecting hard by claiming "Look at Piwi's worried face!" Riiight!
  • They are captured by weak local Orcs, who have been subjugated by "suddenly strong" Toosu-men, who attack
  • Helck and Vermilion team up! The animation is weak, but it's still satisfying to watch them plow thru the cannonfodder
  • There's a lot of comedic trash talking between the King and Helck as they fight
  • Just when we think Helck has won with a "not full powered" uppercut, the Toosu Men King goes full beast mode!

Actually am very please with the witty banter and the comedy. I wish the animation were better because this show deserves it and it would have made a huge difference to the viewership.

Helck too stronk.

Seemed to hint at the more specific background reason Helck's hatred for humans.

Maybe we'll see a more serious fighting Helck next episode.

@Dan_ALves Maybe I worded it unclearly. His reaction seemed to bolster the idea that he was used and backstabbed by the humans. As that was the case with the transmogrified people.

Helck has the aura of a disappointed dad the few times he actually gets mad. Kinda explains why he genuinely feels intimidating lol

Also, Vermillio reluctantly stomping to and from Helck's goal sign to satisfy Piwi was adorable.

And then Piwi tries their best to make a worried face. Piwi understood the assignment. Best wingman ever.

@Limi Oh, ok. I thought something different. In fact, those trolls went through some kind of metamorphosis that made them stronger and able to conquer that Kingdom, the same the humans went through to be turned in those winged beings and start attacking the Demon Realm. Maybe he saw the parallels and made him more angry.
In any case, I really want to know specifics about his past. I hope we get there soon, especially after that witch told Vermillio that he´s basically a ticking time bom.

Wow, the direction is somehow getting A LOT better these past few episodes.

I guess episodes 4 and 5 were just “accidents” on how bad they were technically wise.

But things have been pretty fine since they got in the island.

This is good. I’m liking it.

Animation is still rough, but I guess at least they’re TRYING now.

@B3RyL01 Haha great pun! I liked how Piwi actually tried to do the worried face, it was funny.

IDK why Helck isn't "popular" on MAL, (like on Reddit) because the show is good, except for the lack of animation budget. I'm enjoying watching this every week.

Ugh, this show never stops to impress me on how mediocre everything is presented. From the most cardboard boring fights (both the huge octopus and these wannabe orcs) to piss poor introduction of new races and kingdoms along with Helck's cringe and unfunny comedic bits.

We're almost close to the mid point of the series, and Helck remains the least developed. It's impossible to care for such a bad meme cartoon that his only personality consists on being a goodie two shoes because bad guys did something awful in his past life with his own kind.
