<\/a><\/p>\nIt\u2019s become clear that these seeming detours on the edge of the continent are very much connected to the main story. \u00a0And especially to Helck, the mystery figure around whom so much of the plot revolves. \u00a0Vermillio is pretty much a WYSIWYG character, but Helck is a deep sea of mysteries and secrets. That amiable facade is just that, hiding darkness underneath it (what sort of darkness is what\u2019s being hinted at these past few episodes). \u00a0The question is, which Helck is the real one.<\/p>\n
The singing lady (that designation bothers Anne to no end) offers Piwi a piece of whispered advice<\/a> after Helck and Anne make it clear that they don\u2019t have time to take a long detour around the shadow warrior<\/a>. \u00a0And it doesn\u2019t take it long to find them, either – it\u2019s lurking in the ruins of the first town the trio come across. \u00a0It\u2019s immediately clear that this enemy is not one to take lightly, and Helck directs Vermillio to hide Piwi somewhere safe while he takes on the shadow warrior himself. \u00a0That\u2019s all well and good, but little do they know which one of them actually has the arsenal to take this enemy down.<\/p>\n The headline here is two-fold. \u00a0This is the first opponent we\u2019ve seen who Helck can\u2019t easily handle<\/a>. \u00a0The shadow warrior can teleport, instantly regenerate, and even its sword heals itself after Helck sunders it in two. \u00a0But not to be overlooked is that this is the first real appearance of \u201cDark Helck<\/a>\u201d (copyright pending), and he\u2019s a scary mofo. \u00a0The hairstyle changes, the eye turns \u201cTerminator\u201d, and the air of a berserker descends on him. \u00a0It\u2019s no wonder that Anne harkens back to the warning of the witch who may or may not be her future (or past) self – Helck is a dangerous fellow, and if he follows the wrong path big trouble is going to follow.<\/p>\n Amazingly, not even Dark Helck seems able to defeat the shadow warrior (and he gets really<\/em> dark when it goes after Vermillio). \u00a0The secret weapon is Piwi\u2019s \u201cPii Pii Pii\u201d rendition of \u201cAugis\u201d (if it doesn\u2019t become a #1 single there\u2019s little hope for the world). \u00a0Obviously we know what the troubadour whispered to him, and his song soothes the savage shadow and it soon leaves the battlefield. \u00a0Helck returns to himself (displaying a ridiculous healing powe<\/a>r of his own), and insists that the three of them follow the shadow warrior, sensing the threat is over. \u00a0And it is – the creature has regained its senses, and spins the sad tale of how he came to this sorry pass.<\/p>\n This is Augis<\/a>, of course – and the troubadour is his little sister, Iris<\/a>. \u00a0I wouldn\u2019t call this a happy ending for Augis but it\u2019s certainly the best he could have hoped for at this stage – a return to himself, the knowledge that he succeeded in his goals to an extent before the darkness claimed him. \u00a0The problem is that \u201cyou also\u201d he drops on Helck like a bomb. \u00a0The implication could not be more clear – Augis is cursed by the darkness, as was the Tothman king, and so is Helck. \u00a0Given the sheer magnitude of Helck\u2019s power it seems a safe bet his curse is even more powerful and dangerous (his sword seems to have something to do with it – the disintegrating Augis gifts his \u201cslightly cursed\u201d blade to Helck as an alternative).<\/p>\n This was a very good stand-alone episode, and it contributed nicely to the overall mythology. \u00a0And of course there were more great Piwi moments than you can shake a stick at, including that \u201crace\u201d after the closing credits, complete with a sort-of flight<\/a>. \u00a0I know we\u2019re headed back to the Dragon Empire and its cast soon enough, but I certainly hope these three remain the focus because they have great chemistry. \u00a0It\u2019s almost as if they\u2019ve become a little family, with Piwi their adored but troublesome child, and they\u2019re a lot of fun to watch\u2026<\/p>\n The post Helck -11<\/a> appeared first on Lost in Anime<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One thing we can say for certain at this point – more Piwi is always a good thing.
