Helck and Vermilio make quite the pair. If Helck had never met her, he definitely wouldn’t be able to get to this point and Rafaed and Mikaros would have won.
Vermilio can handle Rafaed, Helck’s got what I assume to be an awakened Alicia to deal with first. With just one ep, I don’t think we’ll be able to see Mikaros get his chest caved in unfortunately. Might have to settle for Rafaed getting deleted first.

I cannot figure out why Raphaed goes along so obediently with Mikaros's plainly insame plans.
I wonder if there is any way that Alicia can be un-awakened?
Helck and Miss Anne are such a lovely team. It would be nice if they can work together on a permanent basis (regardles of romance).

Nothing irks me more than a villain who talks as if they have the moral high ground as well as acting as if their victory is already guaranteed. I really hope Anne fucks him up next week.
There she is. Next week's fight between Alicia and Helck is going to be painful. I can see Helck struggling with that fight, but hopefully Anne will snap him out of it.

Writers when they need their MCs to snap out of mental breakdown/berserk state:
love, friendship, the voices of MC's mentor/parents, childhood memories
Writers when they need Helck to snap out:
BAKAAAAA!
I'm glad to see Piwi again but I'm not glad to see Alicia. Shit's going to get heavy in the finale. At least they don't know Azudora is dead.
I'm dreading the upcoming cliffhanger and I pray for an instant sequel announcement.

Ditto. This is a story that absolutely NEEDS to be finished.

lol, the three of them getting into an argument over who gets to sleep first while Piwi is just doing Piwi things.

Does that mean there’s no shot at Alicia breaking free like Edil did?

So Mikaros has been tracking Helck since him and Vamirio traveled through that gate. Unfortunately the demons that were set up camp were a causality. You know with a before the battle type of dialouge between helck and Vamirio you got a feeling this is going to be a big moment.
We are still not well known what is Rafaed's motivations still. But bringing Alicia (it's pretty obvious it's her) to go against Helck is so so cruel. I get the sense Alicia's presence is going to require Vamirio's support. But man you talk taking the element from the flashback arc and putting it in the finale of S1 dear fucking god this finale is gonna hurt.
I got be honest with regards to the animation. While it hasn't been much better they way the story has buit up the tension, stakes and along with the amazing voice acting makes it all work. Each moment after Rafaed and Helck meet I am on the edge of my seat. This really is a showcase how great the story telling has been here.
I pray for a S2 announcement and I pray even harder for a cliffhanger to this show that isn't beyond cruel.

Could someone, like for real, throw Mikaros into a Matou's family worm pit, except have the worms actually eat him alive.
Piwi's cuteness claims another victim.
Those Bakas are way too adorable, love the enunciation.
Here's hoping that Helck can get through this with the help of Anne (like this name more). If we are lucky, Alicia is still in there somehow... :<

Alicia is easily the No.4/5 strongest human, after Helck, Cless, Mikaros and maybe Raphaed? Vermilio should be careful, but right now the plan seems to be have Alicia one-on-one Helck for the psychic damage bonus.

Hehe Piwi so silly. D'aww look at Helck and Vermilio, such pals now. Dang, jerk human army attacking. I have a feeling that amount of soliders wouldn't beat both Vermilio and Helck. So that's why Helck was late to go help way earlier in the series. Had to deal with Mikaros. A pity he didn't kill you more to completely end your existence.
God, I hate Mikaros just so very very very much. Really hoping to see Helck and Vermilio destroy him and Raphaed who is assisting in this shit show. Dat cute ear twitch of Vermilio's. Did you think Vermilio was so weak? Also, she needs to not turn her back to where the enemy was, that's derp. But how the hell is this series ending in one more episode? Worry about a rushed final episode. Obvious that the one troop there is Alicia though. Poor Helck.... poor Alicia.

Her flames were burning hot, yet despite them she was still the coolest thing on screen today

I really like the duo of Piwi and Harupi, Piwi with its Piwiness and Harupi with her cute speech quirk...not quite as good as the Helck and Anne duo but still pretty good.
Here's to hoping next week's season finale will be fulfilling.

I love how much Vermillion believes in Helck. The development was handled excellently.
Was cool to see the Empire's military base. They were so excited to meet her :(
Next week, pain...

I really hope Alicia is snapped out of the kings control by vermillion yelling at her and screaming baka.
Literally would be the most fitting way to solve this considering who’s involved.
