I want to meet the other 2 heavenly Kings, the (presumably) 2 Guardian Kings, and the Emperor.

I'm also curious about the Northern threat, as apparently they consider it distinct from the New World stuff.

Chapter 54 was very pleasant, and Anne canonically has a very bad poker face.

The human king is going to capture Piuy and try to awaken them but will inadvertently create an unstoppable monster with an iron will. Piuy bows to no one.

These are my Piuy theories.

We already have Vamirio (Vermilion Bird) and Azudora (Azure Dragon), so the last two would have some silly name based on White Tiger and Black Tortoise

Well yeah obviously but I want to see their personas and designs. If the Demons thus far are any indication, the Emperor is presumably the biggest goob in the land. The other two heavenly kings and the Guardians probably are doofs of some kind too.

This is a good reminder of one of the things I really like about Helck. It has very simple and generally practical clothing designs but still makes them memorable and distinct. Also lots of people are wearing gloves.

I'm still not quite clear on what position the demon that Cless killed had. Was he the king of all the demons? Or was he just king of that particular castle?

She's had death flags since she was first introduced.

He was just a regional King (more like a Lord than a King). Azudora and Vermilio are higher up than he was. I think I remember the humans thinking he was the King of all the demons, though. Correct me if I'm wrong on that one.

Ah, somehow I thought that Helck was trying to become the Demon King in charge of everyone, not the one in charge of a single castle and the surrounding region. That makes much more sense, and explains why the top demon competitors had power levels in the 50-ish range while the 4 heavenly kings were shown to be way stronger.

I'm worried about Asuta since it is about time for the humans to accomplish something in the battle against the demons.

Yeah one of the things that this manga has going for it is that it's been teasing a much bigger universe than we've seen so far (which is already pretty big). Wonder if we'll ever get to see "the northern threat."

Also Saitama.

This is dumb because Helck would never say "it's just a hobby." Also he can bleed.

Based on context it might be a shitload of new world Monsters. Or a Rival Empire.

Or what im actually expecting and its whole race of people like the Human King who just love to experiment on and puppeteer entire races.

Itd be ironic if the only thing that kept the humans living in their relative amount of safety is the Empire.

That was exactly what happened when they took out the Demon King.

The demons were constantly rebuffing monster attacks.

Yeah, the demons consider the monsters solely their problem and a major purpose of those castles are to deal with them before they get to other lands.

Here's a doghand man fact. His name is Ruberos, which is a pun on Cerberus.

Cerberus is Kerberos, which becomes Keruberos, which becomes Ruberos.
