| Azudora is kind of like an anomaly and hard to exactly trust. On the other hand, he's an important character for this arc and I believe he makes a difference in this battle. Feels like they really made the latest episode more tense. Azudora is worth keeping an eye on tbh. |
 |
| So, not only do these humans possess powers at the level of heroes, but they can also regenerate? That's seriously OP. Reminds me of King Baldwin from Kingdom of Heaven, though it doesn't raise any suspicion, right? It's amusing how during the emergency meeting, Helck is considered the fifth biggest threat. This human king, functioning as a different kind of "hero," adds an intriguing twist. He's not just a feeble human – the guy wields enough magic to make use of this overpowering resurrection spell. Azudra's close call while sending a care package to Vermilio is quite the scene, and our comical bird companion nonchalantly devours the orange, leaving the rest to become kindling. Well, that plan went up in smoke! |
 |
| Another awesome Helck episode, not as much action as the last couple weeks but some really important worldbuilding and background info on the awakened humans and their king. I wonder if the king is actually someone from the past? I feel like Azudra’s story about the hero and king he fought before wasn’t just there for the heck of it. Either way, he’s not gonna be easy to take down. Speaking of Azudra, the fact he’s considered the “weakest” of the generals is insane. The demons definitely have the advantage in overall power, but how do you beat an enemy that can just throw wave after wave at you endlessly. Eventually one side will crack. Not to mention the humans get a zenkai boost every time they fight and die. This isn’t a problem you can just throw strength at to fix. Using Helck to bridge the gap between humans and demons or taking out the king are the best two options. Azudra wasted all that energy on that portal only for the stuff they sent thru to get used as fire fodder lmao. I guess it’s still getting put to good use. Good ep as usual. |

| Some good info this episode, but seriously lacking in comedy. The ending was less funny and more just frustrating. they've spent too much time on that darn island it's wearing thin. |
 |
| LoL that ending. All that effort and fruit got eaten by the birdie and letter got burned. LOL |
| Nah, I can't laugh at the fact that Piwi used the paper as firewood. Oh man, postponing their return even longer... |
xdiesp said: Keep in mind that some chapters are two-parters, like 52, 53, 63, or 69. There's also the fact that some chapters are a bit shorter than the ones that have been covered so far. My guess is that it will probably end up covering up to a couple chapters before 72. I actually think the end of chapter 69 would make the perfect place to end on.Every episode so far has covered 3 chapters. I wonder if there's ever going to be a third cours, since at this rate we will have just 72 chapters out of 106. |

| Since the human heroes regenerate and get stronger each time they're resurrected I figured they could capture and imprison them although Azudora's plan to get to the king would be the best but capture could temporarily work too. Too bad we didn't get much Vermilio screen time and that Azudora's letter, compass thingie, and orange got eaten and burned but it looks like Vermilio and Helck will use the witch's assistance to know which way to go on the raft that Helck built. |
| Azudora with such a great group of items to help Vamirio but it physically hurt me when her and Piwi used them to cook... |
| that bird continues to be the best f*cking character out of any anime |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| The Human King is terryfiying, I love it so much. I'm calling it now, he is somehow Helck's brother who he supposedly killed. That dang chicken ate the fruit and burned the tools that Helck and Vermillion could've used to get back !! It's so frustrating, I really hope they find a way back to the Empire soon !! |
 |
| That damn bird just wasted Azudra's effort. |
 |
| Rococo sure can draw some cute little illustrations. |
| Yet another trash episode with lazy infodumping and bare minimum animation. How convenient for Azudra to be so old that he objectively knew how the awakened humans have their achiles heel with their king resurrecting them. |
Lots of stuff happened!
Piwi, you numbskull, you're fired! # Facepalm |
 |
| one word from this ep: idiot bird's 🙄😤 |
 |
| One second thought...yea the birdie is stupid. |
| MALoween✟Mansion (2024) Candy Basket 🎃: |
| azudra put in so much care and effort to make a portal and send a care package to vermilio just for that bird to turn it into kindling. kind of irks me that it didn't even bother looking at the paper tbh. |

| At Castle Urum, Azudra easily trounces the thousand-strong army of the winged knights with the trees, and he's easily one of the strongest Elite Lords, contrary to him proclaiming that he's the weakest. But there's another army of bowmen targeting the winged knights, which prompted Azudra to question what is going on, which to the humans, this is just the first test run of many since they can be awakened and resurrected over and over. And Asta, stumbling upon the stronghold of the Human King's quarters, while she has got a good deal of intel, she has to be careful of them as well. Even at this time, everyone was able to have a rest with coffee. though Asta comes in with her juicy report that confirms that the humans can be resurrected. The strategy meeting outside Castle Urum with Roroco being the illustrator, they assimilate the humans' ranking against the demons, which while the Average Joe has no threat, the resurrection would increase the threat level, even against New-World Lifeforms. And at worse, the Empire would be gone, with the humans taking its place, and a new world reborn. It's clear that they need an effective strategy, and stopping that resurrection is the key, which lies with the Human King. Azudra has experience fighting someone similar to that effect, though that magic is more powerful than his Deep Green Contract. and its spellcaster must be someone magically inclined in order for the spell to be effective. But they have a lot of work to do amping their defenses, starting with Castle Thor, then working their way up to the Human King. The utmost emergency for the demon realm, though for the catgirl twins of Ista and Asta, Hyura had a hand training them both, which explains their closeness. Azudra going to the Gate to resummon it as small as possible to send items to Vermilio, it took a lot of his magic, but the deed is a success, and he hopes that she can see the items. Unforunately, Piwi picked up the items, especially the mandarin orange and ate Vermilio's favorite food, plus the Deep Green Paper letter and the short wood into the fire for fodder. YELP... DAMN BIRD! Wasted Azudra's effort, all for the comedy... |
 |
| We got an episode with a pretty serious tone this week, very little comedy and our two main characters not showing up until the very end. It was okay I guess, but I've really missed Helck/Vermilio silly interactions for sure :) |
Seeing this week's episode makes it absolutely clear.... Judging from this, it is certain that their positions have completely changed. The humans became demons and the demons became humans in this anime story. |

| fk that duolingo bird |
| It seems that every show of this type has to have annoyingly unfunny mascots that mess things up. Fuck the Duolingo bird. |
| This episode almost feels like an in between episode since it picked up from previous and and started leading into another. At least they gave more info on what is going on, that seems like a big issue that the awakened humans get to respawn endlessly as is. Stupid little bird thing burning all that stuff without investigating it lol |

Piwi, you numbskull, you're fired! # Facepalm It's interesting that the Humans also didn't want to be killed by the demons. They said in this episode that they didn't want to get caught, but does something happen if a demon kills one of them 🤔 Oooh I never thought of that! I just assumed they all get reincarnated no matter who kills them? But now that you mention it ... a lot died from "friendly" fire, and there was that one who hara-kiri'd himself by cutting his onw throat with his own sword (balls of steel move). There like ... no way none of them got killed by demons? At least some of them maybe? Perhaps that means they don't reincarnate? Hmm. Food for thought. We'll have to watch more to find out. |

Piwi, you numbskull, you're fired! # Facepalm The respawn concept isn't new. Just look back at old RPG games. You die and respawn back at the church. Now every NPCs have the respawn option like the actual players but near the King. Kinda felt the log horigon vibe in this ep. |

LegatoC said: The insurance concept makes sense. If the demons just refuse to kill them and imprison them, then they can't attack further, and the number of "yuusha" Hero infinite respawn troops will get fewer and fewer until they don't have sufficient forces to mount any further attacks. So the insurance of friendly fire self-killing troops ensures the humans will always have a sufficient force of cannon fodders to field for their invasion. Very sneaky. I like this scenario.Stormy_77 said: No, pretty sure you were right and they get reincarnated no matter who kills them. One of them says: "Well, you're too much of a softie to actually kill us. So it's a good thing we made sure to have insurance." In other words, the insurance was to be killed by friendly fire in case they can't kill the demons and the demons capture them but refuse to kill them. On top of that, Azudora's plan to kill the king wouldn't make any sense if the demons could simply kill the humans.Oooh I never thought of that! I just assumed they all get reincarnated no matter who kills them? But now that you mention it ... a lot died from "friendly" fire, and there was that one who hara-kiri'd himself by cutting his onw throat with his own sword (balls of steel move). There like ... no way none of them got killed by demons? At least some of them maybe? Perhaps that means they don't reincarnate? Hmm. Food for thought. We'll have to watch more to find out. Azudora plan is more like if the initial "reincarnate / respawn" guy is gone, then so is the reincarnate ability. Which we can only hope it works this way, because who knows if the reincarnation is really tied to hte person who made that contract? Azudora is going off one incident which may be an exception to the rule, who even knows what kind of loopholes that power has? xkazutox said: The respawn concept isn't new. Just look back at old RPG games. You die and respawn back at the church. Now every NPCs have the respawn option like the actual players but near the King. Kinda felt the log horigon vibe in this ep. Yes there's definitely a RPG respawn aspect that seems tied to the human king. Does it seem like all the hero angel troops are NPCs? There's at least 2 or 3 that maybe graduate to side character. It still feels horribly unfair for one side to have this power. Haven't seen Log Horizon so ... can't comment on that :( Mod Edit: Merged. |
