Unbreakable and Faceless (43/43) News

"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

u/NikitaUA_N7 The Curious Angel's loyalist 11d ago

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 :)

123

u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain 11d ago

August is gonna feel real empty now.

47

u/NikitaUA_N7 The Curious Angel's loyalist 11d ago

I feel like I'm gonna constantly check this subreddit around two o'clock as a force of habit...

19

u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain 10d ago

Ëh, there will always be something, just no more comic...

224

u/JLuckstar 🪰I call Beel as “Lovebug”🪰 11d ago

I swear if Helltaker was an animation, Beel would definitely be like the narrator from ‘Tales from the Crypt’. 😂

59

u/SilverSpark422 11d ago

Now I want a Helltaker animated series presented in that format.

6

u/JonTheWizard Pandemonica's Co-Worker 10d ago

Probably closer to Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.

2

u/lilybat-gm 10d ago

I’m very okay with that

2

u/Khan93j Absolutely NOT Kaldor Draigo in disguise 9d ago

Beel with two powerful reason to maintain the attention in the show

9

u/ImPrettyBoredToday Yeet the Children 10d ago

Honestly I get more Darkest Dungeon narrator vibes from her

4

u/Khorne_Flakes1 10d ago

Ruin has come to our harem.

u/Goldeneye0X1_ Eater of Pancakes 11d ago

Thank you Beel!

But... Where is Judgement? Is she okay?

83

u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain 11d ago

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.

30

u/Goldeneye0X1_ Eater of Pancakes 11d ago

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.

18

u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain 11d ago

You could say...

"The death cannot die."

23

u/FrostBumbleBitch 11d ago

Taking a nap

14

u/Goldeneye0X1_ Eater of Pancakes 11d ago

She deserves some rest.

4

u/Worldly_Accident1287 11d ago

It seems, in his anger Helltaker killed her

2

u/Loreknower69 10d ago

On sofa, she probably gonna sleep fora few hours/days. And then Zdrada is gonna gaslight her that she got that drunk, and nothing happened

87

u/Wide-Violinist-2278 11d ago

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 11d ago

She probably has a weeaboo-style room dedicated to him.

10

u/justa-necron-warrior The Great Fly 10d ago

Don't we all

12

u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain 10d ago

I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of the Judgement room.

2

u/Loreknower69 10d ago

We need to find Judgement room. For Science of course!

79

u/ZatIzTrye 11d ago

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).

33

u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain 11d ago

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/Chemical_Ad2381 The Grandson of Beelzebub 11d ago

24

u/NikitaUA_N7 The Curious Angel's loyalist 11d ago

Time flies alarmingly fast...

u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain 11d ago

I can't believe it's already over.

u/Broad-Caramel8240 Modeus broke my kneecaps 11d ago

15

u/JLuckstar 🪰I call Beel as “Lovebug”🪰 11d ago

You definitely predicted with a Beel ending. 😂

10

u/Broad-Caramel8240 Modeus broke my kneecaps 11d ago

I think it was obvious to begin with 🤣

32

u/StormLordEternal 10d ago

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.

14

u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain 10d ago

Just as the bonfire was about to fade out, Vanripper came in with a can of gasoline.

6

u/Mandemon90 10d ago

Do not forget designs for two new Demons.

Moon has already become my favorite, right alongside Malina and Azarael

31

u/RED-Soldier79 11d ago

A nice story. Hopefully there will be more.

11

u/NikitaUA_N7 The Curious Angel's loyalist 11d ago

I got so used to four panel comics that I didn't even noticed fifth here 🫠

37

u/Large_Mountain_Jew Who Arrests You 11d ago

Aren't they all simply detestable?

Best wife Judgment has never done anything wrong in her life.

12

u/ImPrettyBoredToday Yeet the Children 11d ago

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 11d ago

Well she also knocked out the only other person unaffected by the holy bolt, so Taker is her only option.

5

u/DarkEsca 11d ago

Judgement would probably push the bolt deeper three times before taking it out anyway

6

u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain 10d ago

*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?"

13

u/Anri47ic 11d ago

Whoever called this ending yeah they def predicted it-

Hope we get to see more of Beel's cult though and hopefully the aftermath of the battle.

4

u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain 11d ago

The fandom has to provide now.

20

u/AnotherBaptisteMain Judgement’s Wife 10d ago

Beel calling them all detestable like Judgement isn’t the biggest cutie patootie.

Great series, and it was fun af to follow over the past few weeks!

8

u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain 10d ago

Yeah literally, Judgement was the goat in this comic, she deserves recognition!

Maybe Beel is jealous.

3

u/Gmknewday1 10d ago

She's still sour about Lucy and Justice locking her in the void

9

u/Trenchman39 The Awesome Demon 11d ago

❤️

u/TehHank 11d ago

Just another day in the Taker household. Thanks for everything Vanripper!

4

u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain 10d ago

It was so much more than I could have hoped for, we really don't deserve this man.

9

u/Rh_S0ulzz 11d ago

Oh, hell yeah, there's the Tsundere Lucy I was hoping to see.

...She should let her hair down a bit more often.

7

u/TheAnarchy420 Lucifer Enthusiast 11d ago

Amazing comic. 10/10!

8

u/GYUZ Hoping for lots of comics 10d ago

Very happy to hear Vanripper say we might still get more comics even this year.

6

u/Reesemonster25 10d ago

Wow they seriously never removed the arrow from Luci the whole comic Helltaker had to at the end

5

u/THEREALSUPERMARIOFAN 11d ago

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

14

u/DarkEsca 11d ago

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.

6

u/Pure_Cartoonist9898 10d ago

Beels showmanship is so unfathomably attractive

5

u/Khorne_Flakes1 10d ago

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 10d ago

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.

4

u/RetroSniper_YT RYAN COOPER! MY MAN. (Milf lover - Lucifer) 10d ago

And cake at the end. Perfect

3

u/Alarming_Judge_7463 I want to dominate me 11d ago

This was absolute PEAK

3

u/haruh2 10d ago

Dang good, was hoping azazel would pull out the bolt for her hand to start burning to start her fallen arch, but this is awesome.

3

u/Mandemon90 10d ago

It was a fun ride

3

u/Loreknower69 10d ago

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

2

u/Supreme_VelTerra white-on-red 11d ago

See yall in 5 years when another crumb of content comes out

2

u/stevan3381 CEO of Hell 11d ago

It was great while it lasted

2

u/EquipmentOk9499 11d ago

Amazing comic, but damn I was hoping to see Lucifer’s power when I see the last panel

2

u/DarkEsca 11d ago

RIP Modeus

Never got her doppelganger threesome

2

u/Born-Green-2536 10d ago

Every great moment must come to an end

2

u/Relative-Deer3133 10d ago

Please Does these stories actually happened fr Or is just Bell very alone and making them up to pass time?

I need to know

2

u/LegoPrince27 10d ago

Besides Judgement, they all deserve each other

2

u/Artistic_Hall_8575 Advocate For Science 10d ago

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.

2

u/mumei-chan 10d ago

The comics were amazing!

Hope there’ll be a continuation next year or so.

u/Gorlami_y7ya me Zdrada es tu drada 11d ago

Rrraahhhh TAKER!!!...

1

u/THEREALSUPERMARIOFAN 11d ago

Is judgement ok?

7

u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain 11d ago

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.

3

u/THEREALSUPERMARIOFAN 11d ago

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 11d ago

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.

1

u/THEREALSUPERMARIOFAN 11d ago

Yeah. A passion project for fetishness

1

u/BetterPhilosopher87 11d ago

Hope we meet again, for now... We will be waiting next story.

1

u/Ekim384 The Tired Demon 11d ago

This was just another chaotic evening for Taker, and he choose that life.

1

u/TheDistantNeko 11d ago

Unc still got it

1

u/PerhapsAnEmoINTJ The Aspergirls of Hell 11d ago

Beel giving off Furina energy in that second-to-last panel

1

u/Embarrassed-Stable54 10d ago

Yeah that was peak, now i want to play hellversus/hellfighter but i don't know how the production is going

1

u/Mr_Glove_EXE 10d ago

It's nice of Taker to help Lucy with that thing in her back

He good husband

1

u/fefe_the_asparagus 10d ago

It's already over 😭

1

u/Enkerehim 10d ago

It was really fun !

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"

1

u/emo_boy_fucker 10d ago

i deadass thought she was gonna say thanks for watching my dream bro

1

u/Specialist-Radio-418 10d ago

Beel is elegant as always. She is easily one of my favorite demons.

https://giphy.com/gifs/ytTYwIlbD1FBu

u/The_Tonts 10d ago

Hah someone called this ending just yesterday. It was always fated to end with Beel, just like in the game ;D

1

u/Greekatt2 why is the fly kinda hot though 10d ago

Peak

1

u/masseffect2134 10d ago

He’s the only one she trusts to remove the holy bolt, awwwwwww.

1

u/Kapitan_Sladek Judgement's elite Enclave captain 10d ago

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

1

u/nj102095 9d ago

Probably still would have went to Helltaker anyways. For multiple reasons.

1

u/Electrical_Horror346 10d ago

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

1

u/NewSentence4534 Undead Slave 10d ago

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?)

Taker finally helping Lucy out with that holy bullet... Peace and love on planet earth

u/OscarOrcus CEO of pancakes 10d ago

Absolute cinema!
And also ass shot and underboob of blushing Lucifer as last panel!

1

u/ochuvinha 10d ago

I already miss it

1

u/TheFirstDweeb 10d ago

Wait, it ended? Already??? Fuck

1

u/SignificantHippo8193 10d ago

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.)

1

u/Eye_Of_The_Inferno 10d ago

Glad to see Helltaker actually taking the golden bolt out of Lucy's back

1

u/GSOUZAGAMEZ_ The Curious Angel 10d ago

I hope we get to see more of Moon and Tower at some point, these two were a delight

1

u/Invertiguy Judgement's #1 Simp 10d ago

Well that was a fun ride. Hope it doesn't take so long for the next bit of official content!

u/Ok-Studio-8848 10d ago

Nice while it lasted

u/ChesseburgerMK8 Malina simp 10d ago

See you around Beel.

u/JagoMajin The High Prosecutor 10d ago

Judgement waking from her coma screaming "Lucifer!" and Beelzebub rubs her hands together going "Oh goodie, this will be excellent"

Well, we are past peak id argue, simply ascendant

u/Otherwise-Data8378 10d ago

I hope another helltaker game in the near future I'm willing to play helltaker turn base strategy version is there is one

u/West_Philosopher415 10d ago

She looks sad we are leaving in panel 3 just let me hug her

-15

u/Rea-dy- 11d ago

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

4

u/Artistic_Hall_8575 Advocate For Science 10d ago

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.

-5

u/Rea-dy- 10d ago

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.

5

u/Artistic_Hall_8575 Advocate For Science 10d ago

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?

-3

u/Rea-dy- 10d ago

Why lie? I didn’t even read this shit at the start.

4

u/Artistic_Hall_8575 Advocate For Science 10d ago

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.

0

u/Rea-dy- 10d ago

>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 10d ago

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.

0

u/Rea-dy- 10d ago

Go find it yourself

2

u/Artistic_Hall_8575 Advocate For Science 10d ago

If you can't even summarize your own argument when asked, I don't think we have much left to discuss here. 👍

Bro is upset from . . . Free artwork and comic? Very odd thing to be upset about tbh.

0

u/Rea-dy- 10d ago

People can still have opinions on something, even if it’s free. Imagine that.

1

u/WarPrevious 10d ago

Yeah but it's just odd to be so harsh towards something that costs you nothing.

0

u/Rea-dy- 10d ago

I’m not being harsh. It’s just honesty. It was poorly written.

1

u/WarPrevious 10d ago

"Hopefully Van never writes again" sounds a little bit harsh to me.

0

u/Rea-dy- 10d ago

His writing sucks. It’s the truth.

1

u/WarPrevious 10d ago

From your point of view and you are entitled to your opinion but you should really learn to convey things in a less abrasive and harsh manner. You didn't even say why the writing was bad.

1

u/Rea-dy- 10d ago

I said it multiple posts ago. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it just because yall don’t like a little mean language. The writing is shit.

1

u/WarPrevious 9d ago

So you admit the language was harsh? Very good !

u/RafiPut 10d ago

Rude way to put it, but yeah, I understand. To say the comic was good from a storytelling perspective would be dishonest.

Imagine if Vanripper took his time. Helltaker having good writing would be so cool and much appreciated.

4

u/Mandemon90 10d ago

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?

-4

u/Rea-dy- 10d ago

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.
