They really did Skeleton Knight justice imo. He's really cool here and the part where he discard half of his sword so he can two handed wield the rest is just peak.

Avan is also really great. "The moment I noticed that I lost the ability to take your life." That's our hero right there.

Totally agree!

It is my head-cannon that the only reason Bartos in the original series seems so goofy and non-threatening is because we only ever see him through Hyunkel's memories... and to Hyunkel he was a kindly father, not a scary badass. I love the glow-up he's gotten in this series.

Makes knowing what happened to Bartos hurt even more.

Rad origin for the hell knight tho. Makes it clear even more how nasty Hadlar is

Holy shit, so Hyunckle's bloody scryde was originally Bartos' technique!

I really like this skeleton knight fight. Somehow gives me a great nostalgia hit.

make it even more impressive how Hadlar turns into later on the series

And now we know the origins of Hyunkel's signature move!

Knowing that this series is still ongoing after this arc feels so good

I'll be honest, I hadn't even noticed that the thrust attack was the Bloody Scryed! But it totally is! I love how true to the original and how much thought goes into this story!

Honestly can see that interpretation to be true. Ironically if Hyunkel ever had a kid his kid might have the same impression of him.
