The Holy Grail is the Season 3 Exclusive Epilogue. After the controversial ending of the main story, Lero released a 15-page exclusive epilogue only for digital purchasers that tied up the fate of the antagonist, Hongki. This epilogue is not available on aggregator sites. If you read a "complete" version online, you likely missed the true ending.
For hardcore collectors, there are physical "exclusive" prints. During the 2022 Busan Comic Fair, Lero released a limited-run physical copy of Perfect Half Volume 7 with an alternate dust jacket. This version contained an exclusive Q&A with the author about the "World of Balance" (the perfect half). These copies now sell for upwards of $200 on the secondary market.
Most importantly, this exclusive contains a bonus chapter (Chapter 0.5: 'The Glare') that was previously only released in the original webcomic’s pilot. Set five years before the main story, it shows the moment Haegang realized the war was futile. No dialogue—just 11 silent, devastating panels of a soldier walking through a rained-out camp. It changes how you view his "betrayal" in Volume 3.
