Damn, they treat witches like Helga like trash in this show.

Truly though, the battle for that important sword took on a darker turn for the worse. Soldiers also got brutalized this episode so there's more victims in this conflict. What's worse is that there doesn't seem to be any order or peace.

I liked how the blood just stopped flowing on that roof, lol xD

But anyway, thank God that our magical gumba Guideau is finally going to ham and slap the shit out of everyone ... like as if we could not do it from the very beginning ? Also the Ice guy just having a mental break moment, like what.

What a great episode. I usually like the "sealed demon" stories and how it usually comes back to fuck the one who thought he would become a God.

Didn't understand why her sister didn't run with her in Helga's backstory. Did she do it to delay them? Why not just run and hide together. The whole "everyone died, I'm the one one survived" tragic backstory needs to stop :v

Helga: "if only... if only... I could've at least gotten a kiss at the end!" Guideau: "hold my beer."
😂

The Demon Hand Ishlingen… this series really never disappoints. First how they portrayed witches, then how necromancy was a common thing, the Demon Sword’s manipulative nature, and now something as cool as this? Every concept they introduce is satisfying and fresh, I love everything about it!! The artwork of the hand is especially creepy and cool, it looks fun to draw too.

Sewing the skin of 17 people together is so wild wtf. That demon hand is crazy.

I’m glad Helga didn’t die! I was so worried about her after she got stabbed by the demon sword. Fuck the executioners, seriously. Always satisfying when people who try to control things they don’t understand have it come back to bite them. Why would you think as a human you could control such a broken demon?

Speaking of Helga, her backstory was messed up with the executioners killing her family. But I didn’t get why didn’t the sister run away with her? They could’ve hid together since she’d already made it to the forest with Helga.. her eyes were bleeding so maybe it was already too late?

On death’s door and Helga just thinking about how she’s never had a kiss lmao. Guideau was able to help with that, too bad they rushed thru that kiss. Felt like a frame or two was skipped..

Next episode the beast is unleashed. Gonna be fun seeing how Guideau stacks up to the demon sword.

Sad backstory with Helga having to escape from her home with the Demon Sword to prevent the Executioners from obtaining it but unfortunately they still obtained it in the end.

I'm very curious as to what is in the coffin and it's crazy how it requires a kiss from a witch to open, nice coincidence there with Helga wanting a kiss lol.

So Helga finally got her wish granted by having Guideau kiss her, but damn that cliffhanger for making us wait until next week to see Guideau go beat mode.

That executioner is really cruel. He killed and tortured all of Helga's family. Hopefully, Ashaf won't harm him, and the sword he unleashed will turn against him.

Let's see if a maiden witch's first kiss, even if she didn't intend it for Guideau, unlocks more power.

Well Helga's family died in a very cruel and brutal way.


Time for Guideau to slice them to pieces.

So nice of the Executioner to explain everything, from where the Demon Hand comes from to what he did to the witches guarding the sword. Very nice of Ashaf to correct him, too.

Anyways, it's a pretty crazy arc. An entire village and a floating fortress cut in half. People sliced to ribbons. Sacrificing lives to avoid paying the price for the Demon Hand usage. Sacrificing an arm to the ice elemental for more power (?).

LMAO Helga got her wish but not in the way she hoped for tbh I bet she was thinking Ashaf was gonna kiss her🤣🤣🤣

With how badly they been hyping up the demon sword these past couple of episode I’m hoping this Demon Sword puts in work and causes major destruction

Helga’s backstory was so sad and dark her sister got nailed on the cross like Christ that shit was brutal to look at, it seems like women in this show be catching the most brutal deaths ong🫣

Well, if everything goes fine, I think Guideau will be the hero(ine) of the next episode, and not only because of the transformation ability.

Oh man, GREAT episode again. Next, I want Guideau to solve it. However it was, now Guideau has moved to a different level. That way Cugat, Helga and Ashaf will be safe.

Another fantastic episode. It was nice getting some backstory for Helga, and some more information about the relationship between her and the Demon Sword. The info-dump from the villain monologue was a little much, but didn't detract from my enjoyment of the episode. Now that Ashgan is loose, and Guideau is about to fight it, it will be interesting to see where the story goes.

The blood just stopped halfway on the roof lol don’t think that’s how it works. It was an okay episode. We got a lot of lore into the witches backround and the demon sword. Next episode will be better I’m assuming

so plot stupid episode from last episode continue and becomes worse, let all just sit and watch while she walk up give sword and get stabbed while listening to the bad guy, like if you spendt that hole f min just sitting there, that is just f plot stupid, you had plenty of time to try stop her from walk up there or to use the coffin ability and so on.

This show got potential and shows it at time, but other times show it subpar writing atleast the annoying cliches subpar female main lead had shut her f mouth the last few times making this show good, but well then insted we get stupid does what stupid does all for the plot.

This show just want to be average but as times goes, falls lower and lower, might end not even be average

Helga's affinity with the Demon Sword Ashgan is of importance, and the appearance of the Executioners almost rid Matt of his life. But even more so, the weakest witch being in cahoots with the Executioner, Helga's practically forced to the role of safeguarding it and others from using it for their nefarious gains.

For a family as wreathed as the Velvette family being overcome by the Executioners, the Executioner thought that he knew how to harness the power of the Demon Sword Ashgan, along with his Forbidden Instrument. And that to Ashaf, this is where he comes full circle that the monster practically cannot be controlled nor manipulated. What Helga missed all this time, she's still fixated on her kiss, and it's time for Guideau to throw in the ace in the hole: the kiss to release the curse of a witch.

Helga has been through hell and back this whole time...

They hyped us up with Guideau's form last time and when it's time for it they end the episode. Stalling for time. It's obvious they planned for a certain amount of content and this won't get another season.

@Haninegharbi Can't say for certain but that's how it looks to me right now. A lot of stalling through the episodes. I know that MtY has this calmness to it in the manga but it's not something that translates well into anime form.
