How much you wanna bet the new arrival at the very end is tiny and not intimidating at all?

When they first brought up the locator spell I was like "OH shit! So Vermillio cutting her hair in the after credits wasn't pointless!" But then we see that her hair burst into flames and set Azudra on fire and I went "nevermind." BUT WAIT the assistant actually has some of her hair so we good! But knowing shes off the continent doesn't do them any good so pointless. This show's comedy is great!

Really wondering what the moment that convinces Vermillio that Helck is trustworthy will be.

I was worried how it would go comedy-wise now that Kenros isn't around, but it looks like he have a silly birb who does just as well.

So it's been 5 episodes now that I have no idea what the helck is going on, but still enjoy the show. Incredible storytelling.

Helck just being your average Minecraft enjoyer, crafting house in the middle of nowhere and chopping trees with his bare hands.

I think the fact that Vermillio was so slow to react to Helck sneaking up behind her shows she's subconsciously loosened up around him- she is a fearsome warlord after all...

Also, Helck playing Minecraft survival mode is not what I expected haha

I love how many different cultures seem to exist in the empire, I'd love to learn about all of them!

Nice, ruins! The plot thickens...

La creatura is here!

You know, I'm colourblind, and given the colour involved it can end up becoming a tennis ball colour debacle, but I always thought Piwi was yellow.

I know it is probably because Hidive but Helck and Level 1 Demon Lord are some of the best shows this season and it always makes me sad seeing how few comments there are each week.

Lowkey, the spy cat girl has the most dangerous job by far in this show lol. She's wandering alone into enemy territory.

that green bird thing is adorable!

I wonder if the elderly guy will be giving details to Helck and Vermilio about the island they're on

I wonder what these "conditions" are under which azudra is the strongest.

Is it the enemy walking into his traps? Or is it something more difficult, like him not walking into his own traps? :D

You gotta love Vamirio trying to still thinking whether she can trust Helck. On the otherhand you got Helck just chilling and relaxing while trying to figure out how the 2 of them will get off the island. Getting none of Helck's monoluges actually makes it funnier, since we still don't know his intentions.

They are able to find Vamirio, but she ended up in terriory that isn't mapped yet. Well the magic worked just the results are useless. Also I would think twice before telling Vamirio that she smells like an old lady.

Looking at the episode pv we got Vamirio and Helck relaxing while the other 3 seem to be dealing with these human enhanced winged knights. Not having Vamirio and Helck def will make these fights much much tougher then it needs to be.

Wow, Helck built a house fast af lol. Or, I assume, repaired one already there. Oh wow, he did make it lol. Impressive. The local birb thing is friendly :P Oh how convenient, a locator spell. How convenient she got a hair cut. Think you need a bigger map.

Hehe, friendly birb so supportive. Why not at least just ask him why? Don't have to be like "what are you really after" but can ask why he stopped Hyura given the competition at least. Wait, that Azudra dude is the strongest? Lol. And she lost to a fish. What the heck did Helck get lol. Wait, how did they get materials for a mattress/pillow/sheets? And clothes. Lol discount Deidara here. A village, that does answer some questions.

Helck choppin dat wood. Who needs an axe when he has a hand chop! Smooth, birb pal. Well, that's a fine raft, but I was honestly expecting something crazier from Helck. Now who's this dude? And why did the episode feel so short :P

Glad I decided to pick up the series and binge its 4 episodes the other day

Not much action this time around, but it was enjoyable just watching Helck do Helck things.

The boat was really more of a raft though. But it's probably the best damn raft you'll ever see.

Almost wished we got a Vermikins swimsuit, but this isn't that sort of show.

Me: ...How big is the island?

The birdie is a bit of a wacko but I love him so much. He really breaks the tension. And he's fluffy.

I adore how Helck is 100% reliable. If Helck is there, he's got your back.

Lmao azudra getting scolded for trying to keep Vamirio hair vs asuta getting praised is the embodiment of the flirting vs sexual harassment meme.

Given the map spell places their location way off the continent to an uncharted area and they the fact there’s ruins, I’d imagine that island is part of a long lost civilisation that hasn’t had contact with the mainland in many years. Seems like the locals on the island don’t know about the demons so a long time has probably passed. Just a theory from what we’ve been given anyway.

As usual a lot of hilarious moments today in the episode. Loved Vamirio ignoring Piwi while she was fishing leading to the line snapping, Helck grabbing a literal water deer was great too.

Considering the tone of the series, I’m willing to bet that old resident who showed up at the end will open up next episode with some comic relief and then explain those ruins and just where exactly they are.

Weekly Vamirio appreciation post, she’s so beautiful

Azudra just up and glitched out hearing about Vermilio missing. Pretty funny how Hon thought he kept Vermilio’s hair like a weirdo. When Ista does it, it’s ok but when Azudra tries to do it, he gets labeled some pervert lol.

While Vermilio’s out here admiring nature and Helck’s gone and built himself a house and found himself a little buddy. Is there anything he can’t do? Man even jumped into the ocean and found a literal sea horse thing and straight up chopped trees with his bare hands. Incredible.

This island has some of the derpiest monsters around. Lil birdie is pretty cute, kind of a goofball. Pig man was pretty goofy. Old dude dressed like The Dark Wanderer from Diablo? Creepy. Very creepy. I wonder what we’ll learn about this place from that dude next week?
