The series dodged past that trap as easily as Helck cleared every obstacle in the competition arc.

Some major plot stuff aside, it's little details in the writing like that that really makes me appreciate Helck. I really hope this gets adapted into an anime.

New omake chapter - https://bato.to/reader#430e8591a14a2fd5 In which it is shockingly revealed that Rafaed was a master chef and taught Helck his cooking skills.

I hope omakes have more Hyura and Edil. They make a nice couple.

there are enough loose strings dangling in the wind that I'd be kinda surprised if there weren't tho this last arc did drain a lot of my enthusiasm for helck

It got way too self-serious for a bit, for sure, but the following bits after it have all been amazing, like Piuy's rocks, Helck and Alicia, etc

it's more than just the tone (and to be clear I don't think it getting serious is a problem. the final arc is when it should get serious!); it was boring and insanely drawn out. they beat mikaros like 5 times this arc alone the last arc way overstayed its welcome and the whole thing felt pretty tedious after a while. the epilogue has been cute but it doesn't make up for anything imo

the last arc should have been broken up into smaller arcs. there was no room to breathe and more poo poo went down over the course of a day than in the rest of the manga combined. bleach had a similar problem, though obviously helck is way better than bleach.

Yeah that ending arc was rough as hell and didn't really play to the comic's strengths

# ? Dec 19, 2017 00:46 |

Yeah, I think when it's the trio just wandering around with Helck occasionally punching something, the comic works really well. Action arcs? Not so much.

That first big battle at the fortress where Hyura and Edil went back and forth for like 8 chapters straight or whatever was great. I don't think it's that long action sequences are a problem for Helck, just that this one in particular kind of overstayed its welcome. I didn't have nearly as much of a problem with it as a lot of you apparently did but even I got sick of seeing Mikaros's stupid lovely face after awhile.

The story peaked at chapter 69, but to be fair, that was an insanely high peak.

The issue with this arc was too many climaxes and fake-outs. Fake-outs for humor and tension is kind of this series's thing, but it really didn't work well here.

Yeah its super hard to be goof goof dildo in the middle of a battle where your girlfriend is a mindcontrolled angel with a horrific cosmic horror eyesocket in her face and the entire human race has been similarly converted, with your goal likely destroying them all or eradicating their sapient I'm sure there was a way to do it but not without massive tonal whiplash, and unfortunately helck's author missed the ball just a tad on it

Seems like there's a sequel coming our way. In the Helck comment thread on Batoto, the scanlator Rumia wrote that "Helck sequel has been confirmed and I'll be picking it up once it's released. Be happy everyone".

I'll miss Helck, even if the final arc was a bit weak and dragged too long. All of the characters were fun, Helck and Vamirio having not even a hint of romantic tension was refreshing for this kind of story, and the simple art style is nice. I look forward to 2 Helck 2 Piwi, and maybe Acaria getting some more updates. Also this is one hell of a cover to put on a volume. Spoilering just in case anyone new starts reading Helck. chumbler fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Dec 20, 2017 |

there's something really funny that Helck never actually learns Anne's (who i can't even remember) real name. also real happy that they just stay friends and don't fall in love.

I'm pretty sure it's a plot point that she does tell him she's Vamirio of the four heavenly kings, but to him she'll always be Anne. Actually knowing my memory I'm wrong. Someone else please tell us because my memory is bad

Epilogue was bad. Edil and Hyura didn't get married!!!!! Though maybe that was more appropriate all things considered. Anyway Helck was good and i'm sad to see it go even if only for a time. Everything from the Human King on was honestly not that great but the series has some extremely great moments and characters. Helck and Anne resolving to save all the humans is still maybe my favourite moment in a comic, it's up there at the very least. I really loved this series and i'm hella pumped for the continuing adventures of Piuy in the future.
