word of advice : The following turn back major spoilers for Helck!TheHIDIVEexclusive seriesHelckis not anisekai , and should be celebrated for its own merit and accomplishments rather than for possibly inadvertently deconstruct the well - known phenomenon , but a certain major event from the Zanzibar copal greatly emulate the popular musical genre ’s beneficial qualities while simultaneously showing how these types of series can mix up their own perfected expression for the good .
adapt from the original manga by Nanaki Nanao , Helckintroduces an unexpected event where the eponymous human agonist and his devil friend Vermilioget forcibly transported to a place that might as well be another world and is even treated as such in the show , even though it ’s technically not .

Helck Is Like An Isekai Where the Heroes are Devoted To Going Home
Adapted from the manga by Nanaki Nanao
Helckdedicates the first few episodes to establish the jumbo continent where the story take place , which is afflicted by a never - ending war between humans and devil . So , when the unofficial isekai - esque moment transpires in episode 4 , looker are understandably shocked and want them to return home as soon as possible , especially since their war is at a major turning point that requires their bearing . This discernment facilitate excuse and further justifies Helck and Vermilio ’s own precedence in return home as oppose to them adjusting to their new life history , whichis rarified but sometimes happen in isekai . No one , including the audience and the characters want them to stay there .
Of naturally , the undeniable understanding why the anime transports Helck and Vermilio aside from the main continent is to squeeze the two of them together with no ways of escape to change their tie and tear down the many obstacles forbid them from being allies . That ’s whatHelckshould be eff and appreciated for instead of for inspire the isekai genre . Who Helck is naturally poses a threat to Vermilio ’s people , but his glum past , which amusingly conflicts with his hilarious child - like personality , represent something else entirely , which could ironically save demon - variety .
The One Scene From Helck That Makes the Most Convincing Isekai Argument
Many skeptics may inquire how a series can be considered an isekai if the protagonists do n’t get transported to another world . Technically , Helck and Vermilio only get transport to a remote island , but they have no means toescape . Even though they could sweep home , they would have no melodic theme which focal point to go . Moreover , their only dependable Bob Hope lies in magic trick they do n’t have , which is how most isekai heroes can return home . However , the most convincing parallel is portrayed through a spell that the daimon use to site Helck and Vermilio .
The spell involves combining the DNA of the person they like to find with an item that is subsequently placed on a map of their macrocosm , which lie of one giant continent . The point then moves to the part of the map where the person with the DNA is currently located . In this case , an item containing Vermilio ’s hair moves off the map completely on a constituent of the floor where the map was placed . To demon - kind , their whole world is their continent , and because the item argue that she and Helck are not on that continent , they might as well be in a completely dissimilar Earth . The demons ' aghast reactions seal off the deal .
While current devotee ofHelckmight understandably be hurt by the comparison of their favorite anime toisekai , hopefully , those who depart check the series onHIDIVEbecause of that connexion will stay for the real reasons whyHelckis so undecomposed .
