So the song for the ending is already out and it even has official english subtittles, what do you think? Does the music and the lyrics fit the series?
This was inspired at first by a friend of mine, who noted that in chapter 32.3, the tower at the center of the remains of the kingdom of Romalsika look a lot like Lunathea's tower from recent chapters.
But notably, at the end of the same chapter, a few hours later, we see the towers closer, however...
They're sinking into the ground, along with that giant monster.
It seems like it could be that someone, somehow, summoned Lunathea once already, at Romalsika. Furthermore, just before it was destroyed, we had the chapter of Cleo studying magic, and it appears to go briefly out of control, leading to him having a vision of Volundio, followed by a dream of his own past. This exact same overall sequence happens when Idia tried to use the time-reversal technique at Falca, which was then followed by Lunathea's castle appearing. This leads me to one of two theories:
-
Cleo's "magic" actually actually activates some sort of summoning technique similar to the Knigts of Darkness in Helck. She appeared, and destroyed Romalesika just before the allied nations that had planned to attack it arrived, and after being summoned, then having fulfilled her "purpose", the summoning ended and the castle and remains of her monsters all sank away.
-
Another even more likely option deals with Cleo's second vision, where there are three shadows at Volundio's door. Someone we still don't know of attempted to use time reversal, possibly when Romalesika was about to be overrun, and was successful, but invoked the summoning and Lunathea was summoned and destroyed the kingdom on the eve of the army's arrival, rather than the army itself. Cleo's magic training going wild was basically a complete coincidence.
Either way, I think there's a fair amount of evidence that Romalesika was destroyed by Lunathea, and that either Cleo summoned her by accident, or that the mysterious third "Volundio" was on the scene and summoned her there. Perhaps Lunathea is even some sort of enforcer of inescapable fate, so that no matter how many attempts one make to turn back time, she will always appear?
CHILL LIKE YOU’RE RETIRED
From the site i read Helck from there is a page at the end talking about a potential sequel continuing the events of Helck, is the sequel Völundo? According to the summaries i have heard Völundo is another story that takes place in the same world as Helck but is a different story? Personaly i want more Hyura and Edil lol.
So the potential plot hole is about the photo that Helck carries around of Cless and himself. In that photo, he is wearing his hero costume(cape and no shirt) but he only wears that costume after meeting up with Edil and Alicia's gang.
He doesn't see Cless till after the demon king is defeated. And after that, Cless is in a coma and he was captured and used by Mikaros.
So when was that photo taken? Any thoughts? Even if it is a plot hole, its a pretty minor one
I can't believe this is the only modern shonen manga with three person villain group where all members deliver intensely and equally (Uraume lacking; EVIL IS ON THE MOVE trio lacking) Helck is just built different.
Recent chapters have sure been something thus far...
