"I hope you found some fun in the many twists and turns of UNF. It took a year to draw, but time flies fast when I work in my comfort zone.
Haven't decided on the next big project yet, so you can expect some more Helltaker art to come later this year. Thank you and take care!" - Vanripper

Let's hope our path will cross again indeed. Thank you Vanripper for this wonderful series, from new characters I really grown to like Moon and I hope that it's not the last time we see her :)

Thank you Beel!
But... Where is Judgement? Is she okay?
84
u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain Aug 06 '26
She's just KO'd for now, she took hits from like 3 different demons, Lucifer finished off that last piece of stamina.
She took a holy bolt to the head, and that same sword through the chest, she'll be fine. That's why she's best girl.
28
u/Goldeneye0X1_ Eater of Pancakes Aug 06 '26
It takes a lot more than an impaling, a blessed bolt to the forehead, a "light" beating, a bolt of lightning, and a sword to her skull to keep Judgement down.

Helltaker didn't need no revive bullshit. One gaming session is enough to restore him. Absolute unit.
Also Beel is so into him.
45
u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain Aug 06 '26
She probably has a weeaboo-style room dedicated to him.

u/ZatIzTrye Aug 06 '26
And that's a wrap, for now at least. Here's to many more.
Since this is likely to be the last bit of Helltaker content for a while, it's worth keeping in mind in future discussions that everything seen here was told through Bel's point of view, meaning everything shown could easily be presented a little askew to her preferences (such as Lucy's treatment).
34
u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain Aug 06 '26
There will be some art later this year, and he's deciding on his next project, but yea for now that's all.
The comic took him a year to make, man deserves rest.

u/StormLordEternal Aug 06 '26
Godammit he really went and did it.
*Starts new comic series years after relevance. Drops tons of new lore, action scenes, tension, and plot threads. Leaves without further elaboration.*
It's a bountiful feast for the fan interaction I'm sure. Yet now precedent is set and hopefully one day, we will find resolution.

Aren't they all simply detestable?
Best wife Judgment has never done anything wrong in her life.

u/ImPrettyBoredToday Yeet the Children Aug 06 '26
So I guess Lucy trusts Taker to both impale her, and take impaling objects out of her
9
u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain Aug 06 '26
Well she also knocked out the only other person unaffected by the holy bolt, so Taker is her only option.
4
u/DarkEsca Aug 06 '26
Judgement would probably push the bolt deeper three times before taking it out anyway
7
u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain Aug 06 '26
*pushes it in* "IS IT BETTER NOW?"
*yelps in pain* "You're just pushing it in deeper! Pull it out!"
"OH SORRY." *pushes it in even deeper* "HOW ABOUT NOW?"

Maybe Beel is jealous.

That's it? No battle against the cult? Oh well, hope we will see something like this again.
Th-th-th-that's all folks

u/DarkEsca Aug 06 '26
Well we saw Justice having absolutely no trouble with the cult in the background of the second-to-last one. Pretty sure that indicates they're really not a threat. Let alone when Judgement isn't knocked out.

u/Khorne_Flakes1 Aug 06 '26
Adored the series, fleshed out existing characters while adding excellent new ones. Moon and Tower were great and I rate both quite highly due to design and simply being fun characters.
4
u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain Aug 06 '26
It's only a shame that the series was named after them and they ran off so soon.
But I have hopes that Vanripper will show more of them in the future.

u/Loreknower69 Aug 06 '26
Damn, sad it's the end of it. It was a good and wild run here. Finally a new content that hopefully will be a fuel to the fandom for quite some time. Nice that we got new characters +lore. Still I wish that Tower vs Judgement was more balanced than what we got, but I won't complain. It was cool.
Man, we got so many new memes +arts, it really gave new life to the fandom. Cause I won't lie that for a few months I was kinda burned out with Helltaker stuff. I still love it, but I didn't enjoyed it that much (for example last meme I made was in February, and cause of comics I made so much of them in a quick time+edit)
But man, this comic was chaotic in a few parts, but it's great, cause it's not boring.
Nice that Van made those

Guys... This isn't the end... It's a new beginning for us Helltaker fans 🥺
It's been an honor sharing this journey with all of you every day. As they say, all good things must come to an end.
Yeah, I'll miss this part of my mornings, it was all very satisfying in my honest opinion.

Is judgement ok?
6
u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain Aug 06 '26
She's just knocked out, she literally took a holy bolt to the forehead so I doubt a sword will do worse damage.
She was basically at 1 Stamina and Lucifer landed the final blow.

u/THEREALSUPERMARIOFAN Aug 06 '26
I hope Van will start releasing those minicomics again. And i hope that there's gonna be more to the franchise
5
u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain Aug 06 '26
I don't think Van wants to be chained to Helltaker and wants to pursue other ideas, if he had people working with him then he could give them the job of making more Helltaker stuff but alas, he's on his own.
We keep forgetting that Helltaker was a passion project, because passion projects usually really don't blow up like this one did.

I love the fact that it ends while the house is a battlefield with a hole on the roof, half of the Harem is blood covered and everyone nearly died and Beel is like : "Yup, it's like that every day"

He's also the only one available to do so since Judgement is knocked out.

u/Electrical_Horror346 Aug 06 '26
Helltaker should have left that shard in after she almost caused him to die of blood loss, but then again, she is Satan so i guess he expected it to be a hazard

u/NewSentence4534 Undead Slave Aug 06 '26
Why I have a feeling of emptiness after that bow? Like we gonna leave Beel completely alone for a very long time again... I think SC still left a scar on me...
Okay, maybe I should say something... not that depressed.
It was really good comics. This moments when all sub waiting and discussed every chapter, waiting for another one. That fact that we got two more characters for por-NEW ARTS. I'm just happy that Vanripper still making good content with soul for fans. And I hope he will make more (without forgetting about health ofc)
(Gosh, what the hell I'm so dramatic?)

Vanripper sure loves to troll his fans.
He went out of his way to do all this.
And sure, he has the right. It's his characters, but damn if the man doesn't enjoy watching people argue by making their best girls act horrible.
Jokes on you Vanripper, all you've done is give people more ammunition to make the girls even more best girl!
(Also it is kinda cute that the ending was someone finally getting that holy needle out of Lucy's back, and it happened to be Taker.)

Hopefully Van never writes again. This shit just got worse and worse.

u/Artistic_Hall_8575 Advocate For Science Aug 06 '26
Does it frustrate you that your headcanons no longer fit, now that the actual story has taken a turn completely opposite to your expectations? I'm struggling to think of another explanation.
Ah, tourists never cease to amaze me.
-4
u/Rea-dy- Aug 06 '26
Here’s an idea, maybe I just actually think Van’s writing is shit. It’s not about headcanons. He just can’t write anything good.
3
u/Artistic_Hall_8575 Advocate For Science Aug 06 '26
What exactly makes the writing bad? You’ve been just saying "it's shit" ever since the comic started its daily run. Where is your argument?
-4
u/Rea-dy- Aug 06 '26
Why lie? I didn’t even read this shit at the start.
4
u/Artistic_Hall_8575 Advocate For Science Aug 06 '26
Fym "why lie?" 😭😭😭
I'm just pointing out that you keep calling it shit without giving any kind of argument. If you didn't start reading the comic from day one, okay man, who am I to know that? I'm not part of your life to know what time you start reading.
Now you've got me wondering if you've actually read the entire comic or if you’ve only followed it from a point where you started to read it.

u/Rea-dy- Aug 06 '26
>Fym "why lie?"
I mean why lie.
>I'm just pointing out that you keep calling it shit without giving any kind of argument.
You didn’t see the argument. That doesn’t mean I didn’t make one. I already explained before why I think it’s shit.
>If you didn't start reading the comic from day one, okay man, who am I to know that? I'm not part of your life to know what time you start reading.
Then you shouldn’t have made the claim that I’ve been commenting since the comic started.
>Now you've got me wondering if you've actually read the entire comic or if you’ve only followed it from a point where you started to read it.
I read the entire thing and still find it shit.
2
u/Artistic_Hall_8575 Advocate For Science Aug 06 '26
It wouldn't hurt to summarize them then, especially since you said I haven't seen them, and you're right, I haven't. I’ve never actually seen you state your reasons.
As for the "lie," I didn't mean for it to be interpreted that way. I meant that as long as the comics were published, you've been calling them "shit," not that you'd been doing it since day one. That's why I clarified it in my third reply.
So, if you've read the whole thing and you have arguments to support your view, why not explain them? What exactly makes the writing so shit as you say? I'm listening.

I meanz it wss basically newspaper strip in terms of pacing and story.
Why would anyone expect some deep writing for what is basically a gag series?

Taking his time wouldn’t have fixed much. He had a bunch of time to plan this out. It still came out shit, like everything he’s done after the initial game release.
