This episode displayed one of the story's flaws. Especially the villains will often try to talk their opponents to death with endless explanations absolutely nobody asked for. Classic shounen move.
Yeah, lots of anime/movies could be significantly improved if ditching villains/heroes bad habit of talking instead of acting :)

The action was great. The comedy was great. The mystery is super intriguing. An outstanding episode!

Helck will have a lot of explaining to do, but it seems there will be plenty of time for that while he's on (forced) vacation with Vermillio.
I hope Hyura and the others are okay. There should still be a few winged knights in the castle after all.

I love how Hyura got to show off today. And Vermillio's magic was so cool. And between all the fights for survival, even the jokes kept coming one after another!

And the ending segment was the best part. Hon is probably the funniest character in the show!

With an unprecedented turn of events coming from a suspicious fight with human winged people and a mysterious teleporter we find Vermillio and Helck in a middle of a beach and no idea about this hero awakening trend that the humans apprently are a part of. The one who also spoke of a certain path and though Helck defended them I doubt he's still going to fight the demons. It's still all a mystery that we'll see how it unfolds.

Suspicious episode

I wish the episode had more movement. It isn't very high quality. That being said it is very direct adaptation of Manga. My only worry is that at such pace they might have trouble covering it in 24 episodes. They seem to be doing 3 chapters for episode. Helck is slightly above 100 chapters plus a lot of in-between content. So 36 episodes might be closer to covering everything - including a lot of important Omake.

I do wonder if they will bring some resolutions that Manga didn't finish to an end, but with 24 episodes I doubt it. I hope that at least with anime a lot more people will read Manga.
I also don't think they'll be able to cover the whole manga with this pacing. if they rush it at the end they'll destroy this anime

Ah Helck knew about the winged knight leader and even knew the detail about those person, the awakening process they got through, and the effect if you kills them. Too bad its all gone wrong when the gate seal was broken for real whatever the one that stabbed it to him, and Varmilio-chan with Helck got sucked into an unknown territory which pretty sure its a part of the human realm. Many seems disliking the direction of doing exposition over the supposed-to-be an intense. Fear not for me, as am quite an old folks, i can understand this kind of direction to not be surprising anymore and might enjoy every little bit of scene they did, especially by how the after-credit one showed me a little intermezzo behind the short hair of Varmilio-chan. Yes Azudora, short hair works fine with her too!

Outstanding episode from what seems to be an outstanding series! Very fun, detailed characters, world scale seems ample, mystery, great humor, and finally excellent production by way of pacing. They do seem to cover a lot while keeping things entertaining. Cant wait for the next episode!

I was worried when Vermilio got pulled into the gate, thinking it would be a problem but out of all places, is a beach!

This show is getting extremely better and better! everything is not what it seems to be! you think Helck is the bad guy? nope? but is he also a good guy?  hmmm neither...there's always something that we aren't seeing in face value.
5/5.

Thought the winged dudes were angels invading hell, but they're transformed humans? And Helck hates humans. Hmm...

Anne from Management really just isekai'd with her sworn nemesis on an island. Dunno where this will lead to but I already know it's gonna be fun lol

This episode felt kind of random imo. They're fighting winged knights who turn out to be awakened humans but still aren't that strong, one of them is revealed to be an old buddy of Helck's, who is protected by Helck when uh, that character whatever her name was attacks. Helck then tells her not to kill them for some reason, and then his old buddy is impaled by a sword from on high by one of their own, again, for some reason, then the castle collapses and they all fall to the bottom floor where a portal to the human world happens to be, for some reason, and Helck and Anne from management eventually get sucked into it. That all was a bit rough, but the adventure is just starting, and I think it'll pick itself up again from here on out. Maybe

This series feels like a bad parody of the demon lord theme. Just watched through the 4 first episodes and each one was hard to watch. the series is trying to be funny but it just ends up being annoying. There is no substance in the series as far as episode 4. just tropes and unfunny bits

big plot twist this episode. I'm glad the tournament is finished now. I hope they explore the mysteries now that the winged knights have been revealed to be humans. I'm still waiting for the part that the manga readers are hyping about

IzanaSolos said:
Helck seemed unperturbed by all of this, indicating that he might be aware of the process. I wonder if this knowledge influenced his decision to join the Demon side. If these winged knights ever reach their full strength, it could be disastrous for others.
I think its pretty much confirm at this point that the transformation of the winged knights is one of the reason helck sided with the demons. I'm very excited for the flashback for that

you think they might do a movie maybe after the 24 ep? because it's looking like 24 eps is not enough to adapt the whole manga

MegamiRem said:
So they have all awakened to hero. Probably did horrible experiements on the heroes and found out how to do that. Killing those angels is bad? Why? They'll be revived and get stronger or something? Is that the process to awaken too?
yo you might have hit the nail on this one. the normal human's awakening is def connected to the hero cless (helck's brother), and that's probably why he had to kill him.

It looks like the human world, but teleporting is always a bit dangerous because you never know where you're going to end up!

Hyura is down, and both Kenros and Dorsche must do something to save her skin, though Vermilio will only see the outcome. Turns out, its leader is someone who Helck knows: Edil, though he went through a very rough episode of fusing power to awaken humans in order to take down the demons, which is a problem big enough already now that Vermilio learns of this ability. The Undead Hyura of the Ahald Tribe picks on Edil to prove her claim of being the next Demon Lord, they claim as Heroes, but have only a fraction of that power, it's clear that they have not manifested the full ability yet.

Helck defends Edil, though he got killed by other troops to cause a gate infilled with spatial teleportation magic to the barrier stone and swords from the winged knights. Dorsche finally activated his ability into zen mode, but it won't hold for long, so dealing with the barrier stone is faster from Vermilio's standpoint, and both her and Helck ended up being sucked into the gate with the barrier stone destroyed. The place that both Vermilio and Helck got sucked to is an island of calm and peace.

The extra manga content post-credits of Azudra not wanting Vermilio to cut her hair, it's funny. Even as Ista does the deed as he's losing more blood, he's fine with that too.

So, the both of them in a literal plot twist, Vermilio and Helck's adventure will start next episode.

anyways, guess hyura can regenerate her body parts. man, they made it seem hopeless from the cliffhanger in the previous episode. it's pretty obvious helck is on the demon's side despite stopping hyura from attacking the humans. the comedy in this episode with the barrier guy was not funny. "shut up. i'm concentrating." x10. this series is deviating heavily from the typical image of a hero by making all these human knights grow wings and power up with some BS awakening. but the pacing is kinda slow. when will we find out why helck turned against the humans and why? Vermikins cutting her pretty hair after getting rejected by helck.

It would be absolutely busted to have an army of Helck's storm on the demons. If you only just awakened I don't imagine you would want to rush into battle, so it was kind of suspicious for things to go down that route. It appears that they had a Plan B in mind.

Funny how everyone knows who Anne is and does a poor job trying to cover it. Half expected Helck to kick off a rock or something to avoid getting sucked in, but since she's on a beach... yep that doesn't look like the demon world to me. Helck has to be nearby since she was covered by his cape, but huh.

What was once a beat the winged people mission has now turned into a distress scenario. The demon kingdom is going to be under plenty of stress if they don't make it back, but this would be the time for Helck to show her the way home.

This episode was so good i needed to rewatch it to write this comment. Hyura is a total badass, not only is she the only one with any leadership qualities in the team, but she has sword skills to back her up. If Helck didn't exist she should become the next demon king imo. The rest of the contestants are useless as usual. I think the teleportation marks the end of the epilogue and character introduction, now we just need to wait for the plot to unravel and focus on our main duo. I read some comments about dropping this show due to bad quality, but for me it's the story and worldbuilding that is the star of the anime and it's done very good.

Thoughts: Everything isnt quite explained well maybe its just a translation thing and the fighting animation is quite lazy. Though im only here for the comedy and characters.
Summary: The appeared leader takes of his helmet and its revealed helck knows them and that the winged knights are awakened humans. The participant the got her arms shopped off regrew her arms and beat the leader, but the floor under them all breaks and they fall to a underground layer where a teleportation gate appears. Lady vermille trys breaking the energy source and was successful but she got hit by an object into the gate, helck jumps in the gate with her before it closes.

I'm extremely disappointed with the studio for butchering such amazing fights at their core. Really takes away the appeal and stakes of everything happening. I'm appalled by this outcome. I'm not sure if the source material featured any of these so I'm in no position to criticize but these scenes had so much potential.
