@Hylebos I think he just told him he fell for Farah at first sight.

Ah, that would be more simple.

Also wth no illustration of atleast rosaria in her wedding dress? :(

Front cover.

Hmm. How long before Old World Lion's Tail and New World Lion's Tail get into a fight? And how badly will NWLT get reamed?

Noba grabbing Aoi's head in ... glee (?) was an interesting reversal. It's usually Aoi grabbing beastkin by the head to pet their fur. Aoi didn't acknowledge Felter's dad's challenge (and I hope she explains that she's too busy with her festival demos to battle dad, not to mention it would interfere with Felter's demo), but if she does do it she should extract the winning price of his dignity and head scritches. 8-)

I'm sorry Ren. There's no escaping her.

You should resign to your fate.

"Ka-chunk."
"Ka-chunk?"
"That's the sound the ball chain makes when I lock it around your ankle, like so. Ka-chunk."

@isekaitruckdriver loki being a menace is always funny lol.

@LightningLeaf I wonder what will happen if she starts using music from the Beatles? (lol)

Well for starters people would need a ladder to reach my eye brows; they'd be raised that high.

For now I'm hoping we don't actually get to see nylon swimming wear and floaties (as depicted on the cover).

So Noa is going to get a huge upgrade with a super powerful holy sword, I'm looking forward to it.
The next sister looks beautiful and sexy, I have great expectations for her.

It's gotta be a sniper, right?

Giant ant lion monster trapping them in a pit?

What's gonna happen in V13!? This series has no shortage of massive turning points as it is.

And just who is the Hermit God? (Is it Deme in disguise?)

Yeah, I thought so. That guy is a real Bas--rd, and I hope Rock shows him the error of his ways.

So, a drug that would have to be taken daily or you die? Good thing Teo has an ally.

And I’m guessing a hit on the family by the “friar”, or just to make it look like it?

What a greatly satisfying conclusion to the tourney. But now I wonder, what from here? What is the next goal being pursued. I assume things might shift into a more serious tone in the story overall judging by the ominous implications of the Prime Minister’s premonition. Also those Desperado designs at the end were raw asf.

@elkensteyin said in Hell Mode: Vol. 11 Discussion!:

So then... I haven't looked on Bookwalker yet, but is Volume 12 planned?

v12 came out in Japan in October of last year, and v13 came out in January. As per the future volume release topic, licensing can vary wildly in how long it takes once we've caught up to the Japanese release, but a community rule of thumb we commonly employ is to expect a recently released volume to begin prepublication around six months after its release in Japan at the earliest. So for Hell Mode v12, that might be around April/May, we won't really know for sure until it appears on the calendar. J-Novel doesn't drop series outside of extraordinary circumstances though, so you can only trust that they're working their hardest to get the next volume shepherded through the wilderness of the licensing process without sacrificing on quality.

@lighthawk96 yep, but they aren't planning it very well. He got the nutritional values backwards. Meat is the one that provides nutrients you can't normally get from vegetables (at least without a carefully planned diet and a variety of plant products not available to him), not the other way around, jerky is extremely dense and transportable, and in an emergency situation with a trip duration that long they don't really need to worry that much about nutrition, they just need calories and protein, nutrients deficiencies take longer to become a major problem, but dried meat does calorie and protein density better too. Ideally for emergency traveling food you want nuts, cheese, and jerky, preferably also some dried fruit or other lightweight source of sugar to give a quick burst of energy when needed. Trail mix is very well suited to hiking as the name implies, it was literally designed for it. jerky is also extremely popular among backpackers because it can keep you going. Cheese is also a very good choice for era-appropriate hiking food because it is about as much fat as you can eat without it going straight through your system and not being able to absorb it, and that day gets converted into calories that will keep you going when you are burning a lot of energy.

A fun volume to read, although I have some mixed feelings regarding the addition of so many human characters.
I hope Arara and Reina won't make us wait too long before the inevitable.

The inevitable has already happened they're just not admitting it. I mean, they even have a kid together now.

Bernie the Barbarian says:

Remember! Pillage first, then burn!

Hmmm. They'll kill the bull then rescue Lana's sister in the next book with the next sister of Noa.

Selyn became a hikki-neet!
