According to Helluva Boss Tv Tropes page, the reason why Loona can't read the grimoire in the emergency lights is because dogs have dichromatic vision, aka color blindness. The emergency lights are red and the grimoire is written in red (possibly blood?), so it all looks the same to her.
Plus dogs generally have p bad eyesight tbh.
@@felixhenson9926 true
Not like it would of been all that much easier for the imps either though. The ways the lights were flashing, their eyes wouldn't have time to adjust.
Especially when it's a spell to travel between realms. I imagine you do NOT want to mess that magic up.
(also I'm surprised Stolas didn't mention how dangerous it was to bring the Grimoire right into the heart of the demon Hunter's base. If they'd been caught, and he wasn't there to save them, they could of opened a portal to hell (eventually)
@@Trojianmaru Stolas priorities be like:
Scold I.M.P. for taking the grimoire into the D.H.O.R.K. base (❌)
Bed Blitzy as soon as possible (✔️)
@@TrojianmaruDid they do that intentionally, though? I thought they literally fell into it.
13:59 Blitzø is a self fulfilling prophecy. He knows others will leave him eventually so he treats them like they already have or are about to leave him. Which makes them abandon him. That then reaffirms his mind that he was right thinking they will leave him. It’s an endless circle of self inflicted damage that is hard to break out of. I am guilty of it myself as well. 😅
Same, thanks to therapy and a good support system I'm not like this anymore but Blitzø is hard to watch sometimes because I literally used to be just like him
Can we take a moment to discuss how terrifying Stolas' entrance is? He possesses Number Two, raises the dead agents, and has them draw his summoning circle around her in their own blood, all WITHOUT the Grimoire. And he's so powerful that afterwards, he opens the portal home without it and with zero effort.
That's a true horror movie scene.
this and alastor snapping on husk are the two most genuinely scary scenes from that universe
Genuinely terrifying.
Even after seeing it already, that scene gives me goosebumps. Especially how his true form isn't just some giant bird, it's PURE DARKNESS in the shape of a bird.
The Sinners/Overlords mutate into more scary versions of their normal self, and the Sins like Asmodeus get big and impressive but still mostly look like themselves.
STOLAS, turns into something not even remotely human shaped. Like if we didn't know he's just an absolute sweetie, you'd think he was some unknowable entity that just pretends to look like a bird man.
I just assumed Stolas had memorized the portal spell from the Grimoire.
-Loona is 22
-Millie is 27
-Moxxie age isn’t confirmed but I headcanon 26 or 27
-Blitzø and Stolas are in their 30s probably 35ish
Fun fact: Viv originally delayed the release of this episode for almost a month, JUST to finish polishing this massive fight alone!
That's amazing! And it was definitely worth the wait!
One thing you need to remember when it comes to Blitzø is that nothing is ever as it seems at first. The show does a really wonderful job of slowly peeling back the layers of Blitzø’s character and past trauma. Just know that almost everything Blitzø does is dredged in psychological reasons. He’s my favorite character ever.
Blitzø's dream sequence revealed a lot about him. That in every meaningful relationship he ever had, he ended up pushing them away to the point they hated him. And he's not only afraid of pushing Stolas away too, but also worried that Stolas doesn't actually love him. That's why Blitzø treats Moxxie the way he does, so he won't get hurt if he pushes Moxxie away too.
WHY ARE YOU ON EVERY REACTION VIDEO WTF
That scene is PURE horror movie
It reminded me of the scene when Makima crushes all those gangsters, for some reason
It explains so much, and it's very heartbreaking.
@@alexmoment3 i get the impression there are a bunch of bots that post lore etc on all vivziepop reacts/reviews etc because I really do see the same dozen or so accounts posting things like this on every hazbin/helluva video by every youtuber.
Also fun fact: Stolas was not in the human world yet, he possessed Agent 2 and made that blood circle so he could manifest into the human realm without the book.
Edit: Spoiler Warning in the replies, I'm sorry I don't know why people are spoiling in here.
Yeah and yet all it took to him is a wave of his hand to open a portal back to Hell XD
@@richardkutsera4992I could be wrong since it’s been a while since I saw the episode and she didn’t show it in this video, but I’m pretty sure he opened it so easily because he had the grimoire now.

He also opened a portal to LA with no trouble despite Octavia taking the book so it’s not like he has to have someone summon it. Was it for intimidation? Easier access inside the building? The apparently limited powers in the human world he mentions in the second season?
@@theownerofthisaccount2521 Well 1st of all, this is a spoiler so please delete this comment. 2nd of all, probably intimidation
Weeby doesn't check replies, and if this personally spoiled for you, you shouldn't be checking replies in the first place. You can't expect people to not answer things people ask about.@@numberonesoudalover
I think the implication is that Blitz DOES like Stolas but he also feels the power difference and does not like that.
Actually since the imps are hellborn when they die, they actually die forever no matter what kind of weapon is used, while the sinners if they die they just like respawn unless they're killed by the angelic weapons, so if blitz or moxie got killed they would have just died (it counts to any hellborn unless they're royalty)
Royalty doesn’t respawn, they just can’t be injured normally.
I imagine this is so the sinners can be eternally tormented in hell, or what have you. That sinners are basically cursed to be unable to die permanently. With angelic weapons being a sort of failsafe.
@@dodiswatchboboboYeah that’s why “bear traps” is used in their sex life lmao. The bear traps can’t actually hurt him like it would anyone else, it just feels less.
@@bryanmoberg8408Yeah and angelic weapons are so hard to obtain too, so it’s not like if somebody wanted to commit suicide, they could easily. The only reason the Hazbin crew could get so much is because Charlie has so much money, she can get whatever she wants.
@@bryanmoberg8408 It’s more likely that this is just because Sinners are that powerful. Adam was basically Lucifer’s stepbrother since both of them were created by the high angels, with Adam also being super powerful in the afterlife; The high angels just made Adam with dirt and not light. It makes sense that the reason humans become indestructible supervillains in the afterlife is because of divine heritage.
The reason the only way to kill a sinner or royal is with an angelic weapon is because only angelic weapons can kill angels.
Edit: This is also probably why sinners are restricted to the pride ring. What the hell are a bunch of imps gonna do about an immortal demigod if one of the sinners got down there? The sinners would literally eat them to extinction lmao
"We saw inside Blitz's head and it was very upsetting." Helluva Boss in a nutshell lmao
Moxxies hallucination is as you guessed it was based off of phantom,
Blitzø's hallucination is based off of Pink Floyd's The Wall, the movie that released with it had this really trippy art style
Agent 1 -“Why are we only using weapons from japan's edo period!.”
Agent 2 -“hey! the edo period was badass and you know it.”
Agent 1 -“damn it you’re right.”
🍜spoken like a true weeb 🍜
.,
I feel like specifically in that moment where blitz goes towards Stolas it’s because he wants to be with him but then the chain appears reminding him that he is just his “plaything” or that he doesn’t care for him. Does a really well job of capsulating and introducing blitzø fear and does it really well job of establishing Moxxies insecurities too. Honestly just peak
"What's the matter Demon Hunter? Never seen a reaaal demon before?" goes harder than it has any right coming from Stolas
The way she is READING Blitzo is actually crazy to me because I didn’t realize most of this stuff until like early to mid s2
If you listen to the lyrics, there isn't really that much symbolism to read. They are explicitly telling you what is going on in Blitzo's mind.
Though it is impressive that Weeby makes the connection right before Moxxie spells it out.
I’ve seen this said by others already, buy it really does hit hard that out of all the regretted relationships shown in Blitzø’s hallucination, Loona isn’t there. For all the shit she gives here he truly doesn’t regret his relationship with her, and that means a lot.
Fun fact: this is the highest rated episode of Helluva boss on IMDB
Deserved
Because it's the best one
well deserved, I think I like seeing stars a bit better for the ending, but this is far more consistent throughout. Ditto for the current final episode.
@bryanmoberg8408 imo seeing stars is one of the worst episodes in the whole show besides that really good ending
rightfully so
I feel so bad for Blitzo. All this people, Verosika or Fizz are the ones he lost already trough his own actions and he wants to get closer to Stolas, but is scared that Stolas cares for him just for the "fun time" in bed. 😢❤
Oh
Okay Blitz really sucks as a person we shouldn't really feel bad for him imo
@@bfodoesstuff no he doesnt, you jst rlly have to go in to the dept w his character and it all lays out
What I found interesting about that whole hallucination scene is that at the start of it, Blitzø is dressed as a clown, and the symbol on his forehead is a broken heart. Yet, when he starts crawling up to Stolas, and the chains lock around his wrists and neck, he becomes himself again. I'd really like to know what's that all about.
@@nenya03168it's probably an imagery of jow he remembers his childhood as a circus worker, looking like a clown and heartbreaking. He also blames himself for everything that happened so it makes sens that it's his body imagine that takes the toll
I loved seeing the show go full horror when it was time for Stolas to show up like that was scary. Then his full demonic form was awesome and animated so beautifully.
Another big reason for Blitz pushing Stolas away is actually a recurring theme in the show: social hierarchy. As far as power scaling goes, Stolas is a demon prince and ranks as royalty in hell (just below Lucifer and the Sins) and Blitz as an Imp sits at the very bottom of the ladder. It's implied several times that it's essentially taboo for different social castes to mix, so Blitz may not even consider things being possible between them.
Well, Stella certainly seems to be freaking out specifically because Stolas had a thing with an imp. During one fight, she literally throws an imp servant at him and says, “why don’t you fuck this one, too?” implying that it’s some kind of fetish. Of course, an imp falling into her cake saying “sorry I fucked your husband” probably doesn’t help.
BTW, I’ve always noticed that while it says “the morning after ‘real fast,’ “Stella is having tea and cake with her friends, not breakfast, and Blitz falls into a cake, which suggests that it didn’t just last all night but all morning, too.
I remember how shocking this episode was for the whole community when it first came out.
Why was that?
The fact all of Blitzø hallucinations have his voices makes me think it's all he personnally think about himself, and the one character that don't, moxie, is the voice that he thinks will leave him next
1) This ep continues the Phoatom of the Opera thing from eps 2 and 5. 2) Blitz DOES feel chained to Stolas. Without the Grimoire, he can't access the human realm. 3) You'll really get some insight into blitz in ep 7 "Ozzie's" and 8 "Queen Bee". You won't get the final piece until around ep 6 of Season 2 "Oops". Also, the circumstances of his meeting Loona are revealed in S2, Ep 2 "Seeing Stars".
Straight up my favourite episode. The character development beween Mox and Blitzø, the animation, the music, all so good. I particlarly like how we have this quiet moment in the middle where there's no music and it's just Mox & Blitzø talking, then CRUNCH! Heeere's Millie! and the music kicks in, building as they gear up and get ready to "f*** those f***ers up". Luna catching the kusarigama as the guitars hit, ah, so good!
6:36 My headcanon is that it stands for Demon Hunter Organization Researching Killing Satan.

Weeby Newz and Danny Mota uploading Helluva Boss reactions the same day. Truely a great reaction video that's jokingly and breaking down points in the episode.
What some have pointed out that Blitzø’s nightmare sequence is that only potential love interests appeared
There was no family members or even Millie
So it seems his issues are only regarding romantic love
At least when it comes to pushing people away
Huh, that's a really good point. I hadn't thought about it but from what we know now, halfway through season 2, there's at least one obvious person missing from Blitzo's hallucination. This isn't the place to discuss it because of spoilers, but them _not_ being there is somehow even more painful.
So, this would mean that Striker was also Blitzø’s love interest?
@@pwsies Blitzo certainly finds him hot, and I think he wasn't faking being tempted the last time they met even if he had no intention of giving in. :) I'm pretty sure he only has two emotional categories for people he values, "lovers" and "family". Which is why he has so much trouble with M&M who won't let him be either one.
“I believe your subconscious is telling you that you craze proper intimacy but you also can’t fathom it. It’s quite unfortunate sir”
This is very telling. Basically he is always invading on Mille & Moxxie’s relationship because he wants to know love like they do but he simply can’t and feels he doesn’t deserve love. Any time he starts to get close to someone he pushes them away. This was suggested with Verosika Mayday when she said that while they dated he stole her credit card and spent it on horse riding lessons and such.
First, a reminder: in the first episode, Murder Family, when Stolas is in the tub talking to Blitz, Blitz can be seen in one of the bubbles. So Stolas being able to watch him remotely has been established before.
Second: Loona's fighting included numerous martial arts moves, which means that she has been trained. I wonder if it was something Blitz had her do, or something she went through beforehand. However, it also fills out the company's roster and dynamic:
Blitz: heavy weapons
Moxxie: firearms
Millie: martial weapons
Loona: hand to hand combat.
Apart from what is stated explicitly by Moxxie on Blitz's hallucination (that he has intimacy, commitment and abandonment issues in relationships because he believes he's unlovable or inferior or maybe due to previous loss or betrayal), and apart from what the visual queues of the scene in which he's chained crawling towards Stolas on a pedestal implies (that there's a social class division he's overly concious about, also being scared due to the magical/socio-economical/political power Stolas has over him, as a Prince/Goetia), what I got from Blitz's psychy is that he specifically feels intellectually inferior to Moxxie.
In the hallucination, Moxxie is the person who scolds Blitz, telling him the truths he doesn't wanna hear. Although Blitz and Loonie often bully Moxxie, Moxxie has much better communication than them in comparison, he says how he feels and what he thinks straightforwadly and tends to be much more honest and moralistic. We know Blitz uses humor and crassness or provocation as a coping mechanism. He also often manipulates people or "performs" to get things from them (like manipulating them with sex/flirting, or lying/trickery). Loona uses aloofness and is more introverted than Blitz, also much more prone to use anger as a defensive mechanism.. But they both cover up feelings that make them uncomfortable or upset with some form of rebelliousness or even plane belligerance.
So, Moxxie's sensitive/more emotionally in-tune nature and his tendency to nag people and be openly critical makes Blitz feel threatened or out of his comfort zone. Also, Mox is clearly well educated and uses a broad vocabulary, he also is a little nerd who rambles about his knowledge about his interests, which happen to be mostly "high class" artistic topics (theater, opera, etc). In contrast, Blitz was raised on a circus and worked since he was a small kid... Circuses crews are small-close-knitted communites that have to constantly travel, move around and kids are home schooled or simply taught specific crafts there on the circus... It's a very unique environment. Judging by his speech/writing patterns (apparent dyslexia), Blitz probably either didn't finish formal education or was never good at studying. He probably focused on training skills such as gymnastics. He's street smart, resourceful and athletic, but he's not artistically creative or intellectual. Having said all that, I get the feeling Moxxie makes him feel stupid/ignorant, or maybe he thinks Moxxie sees him as those things, or maybe he just gets frustrated when he can't understand everything Moxxie rants about. I think this may be a reason why Blitz and Loona pick on Mox and lash out at him so much.
Alex Brightman is already in this show lol
11:33 no matter how many times i see this episode, the transition from Moxxie's hallucination to Blitzo's never fails to amaze me; it's so well done
A few things about this episode.
The voices of fizz/striker/verossika were all blitz, hinting that he thinks that of himself
Luna can't read the book in that red light because dogs have problem with the color red (and other colors too)
15:09 Blitzø hates himself, so he doesn’t believe anyone could love him. So he thinks when people show affection for him, that they’re just playing with him, and it’s all fake, because they couldn’t possibly love him. Like Stolas said in the background of his dream sequence, he’s pushes away affection, but also craves it as well. So he tries to hurt people before they can hurt him first, and doesn’t think when people show him genuine affection that it’s real. He’s also obsessed with Moxxie and Millie’s relationship, because their relationship is so perfect. He craves that, but tries to pretend like he doesn’t. So he just tries to push himself into their relationship to fill that emptiness, by stalking them and stuff, but doesn’t understand that he IS capable of having a nice relationship. He doesn’t think when Stolas shows him affection (which tbh.. as far as the writing goes, Stolas really doesn’t start showing him romantic affection until next ep, he kinda just objectifies him up till then), that it can’t be genuine, because Stolas is of so much higher status than he is, and like I said, Blitzø hates himself. The chain is there because Blitzø feels like he’s a bit trapped with their deal to use the book (like it’s still consensual, but it’s also still an arrangement), but mainly because Stolas is so much higher in power, so Blitzø feels like THAT’S what he is to Stolas. He doesn’t think Stolas thinks of him as an equal, or a potential partner, he thinks Stolas thinks of him as a slave and a nobody, because he’s an imp.
Stolas fanclub represent! You're gonna LOVE season 2!
It shouldn't be surprising that Loona is a badass. Remember that Blitz is extremely protective of her . . . but in the prior episode, when faced with an enemy that was going to successfully kill both him and Moxie in a 1v2, his emergency backup plan was to summon her to take the guy on. He knows that she can _wreck_ a top-tier badass if she's up close and personal without him worrying about her safety.
No one has said it yet so I will, the life cycle of Imps are equivalent to the life cycle of an average human, maybe a little bit longer.
likewise, iirc loona is 18-ish which makes millie 23, give or take, and octavia is 17.
Hard to say with some others though, pretty much everybody seems to have existed since creation or appears around 20, with around 50-100 years in hell. (given the era theming of the hazbin crew) we also eventually see something to indicate stolas and and blitz are roughly the same age, so if he has a human-ish lifespan he and stolas are probably both in their 40's give or take.
Apsolutly one of the best episodes of the show, amazing animations, great music, and a really fun plot. Love how much we learn about Blitz in this one, how we see him and team work excellently together in the fiight, and him checking in on them, and dang Stolas was awesome!
This episode solidified Blitzo as my favorite in the show *(Long thread explaining some stuff)*. Something you notice too is that in previous (and future episodes) episodes, when Blitzo argues with someone, it's usually "harmless" banter, no different than how you'd treat your sibling (see: Moxxie). But if an argument gets serious, such as the way Loona told him to fuck off in the Spring Breakers episode, he completely disengages and removes himself from the argument to avoid saying something he doesn't mean. That's why Moxxie is surprised when Blitzo in this episode has the outburst about Millie, and comments on it being an oddly personal blow.
Additionally, during the hallucination, the voices of everyone except Stolas are Blitzo's own voices in his head. This is how he thinks people perceive him. The trip explores his own self-hatred. When he crawls to Stolas, the art style shifts to the shows actual style, and he gets his regular clothes back instead of the clown clothes. The reason why, is because Stolas almost makes Blitzo feels like he can heal from his trauma and be himself. The issue is that, like Moxxie said, "Blitzo craves to be loved but also is afraid of loving," you'll see more of the reasoning behind this in the future. Blitzo is blushing when Stolas cradles him close, but he feels chained to him purely because he's aware what they have is contractual (the deal for the book). In the background, the imps who fan Stolas are also just silhouettes of Blitzo. To him, the societal hierarchy/divide between them is too large and he feels like he's unworthy.
Also, keep in mind, Stolas saves Blitzo by saying "who dares hurt my impish little plaything," for Blitzo, who already has self-worth issues, to hear Stolas call him a plaything probably solidifies that Stolas doesn't Actually Like Him. Doubled by how Stolas at first asks if he's alright, only to then pull his cheek and mock him about getting HIM in trouble if caught, and then asking for sex as a reward for saving him. :')
This episode is my favorite and I have a lot of thoughts about it.
In this episode, you get a real insight into the fighting styles and specialties of the members of IMP, some of which were only hinted at before.
Moxxie: Ranged weapons specialist
Millie: Melee weapons specialist
Loona: Unarmed/grappler
Blitz: All-rounder
19:46 I noticed that when it was Lonna's turn the song was more of a rock star song and when it switched to Millie it was more of a western type of song
The fact the she (among others) still calls him Blitzo instead of Blitzø
I feel like so many people get so caught up in the horror movie scene of Stolas's arrival...that they don't realize his only real contribution was pressing one button to turn the lights back on. Like, he possessed the agent and puppeteered the corpses, but seeing how easily he opened a portal at the end, that seems to be more of him being dramatic than anything else. I mean, he didn't even kill the agents, he literally just turned the lights back on.
What I do not like about this whole thing is that it was Season 1, Episode 6. We are at Season 2 Episode 7, and there was so far no consequence to this whatsoever, even tho they had the ending scene with the videorecordings that they were to reveal to their bosses. They even have had been on Earth since, and there were no signs of major forces hunting Demons.
@@richardkutsera4992it’s confirmed that stolas and the agents are in episode 8
In the Ars Goetia, Stolas is noted as one of the very few demons who ISN'T likely to betray and kill you after being summoned, and he genuinely has more of an interest in astronomy, plants and the other subjects of his domain, all of which we've seen in his home as part of the background. So it makes sense that he's among the 'softest' of the demonic royalty in this show, too, and would avoid slaying humans if he doesn't have to!
@@kingofdemons948 When is it supposed to come out?
@@richardkutsera4992i heard it will come out on the full eclipse but i also heard that its coming out in may so expect it to be in that time frame
So, thought to mention: all summoning circles are 100% accurate to what they're supposed to be (this is pretty much the only time we see a summoning circle used, but we do see demon summoning circles in video thumbnails for episodes related to the 7 sins, and sometimes as parts of the scene)
Seeing Millie that desperate to get to Moxie is sad and frustrating, but then seeing her and Loona going bananas on the agents is so cool 🔥
Moxie's coffee order made me cackle 😅 so dang specific, is hilarious.
The hallucinations showed their deepest fears, which is ironic when you think about it; Blitz, Moxie, Millie and Loona are already a tight lil family, with the chance of Stolas (and potentially Via) becoming part of it, in the future, so, they are loved and accepted, they just haven't realized yet.
And speaking of His feathery Highness, here is where we get to see the dark, scary side of our Goetia Owl Prince.
This is probably my favorite episode. Lots of character establishment and development for two characters, some great animation, some badass moments and the most genuinely horrifying thing so far in the Hazbin universe with Stolas.
Watching the reaction of this particular episode always makes me excited. So much of who Blitz is, is foreshadowed here and the implications of his trauma/hang ups are also foreshadowed. I honestly cannot wait till you get to season two.
So the lifespan of imps are normal lifespans, which is why they’re lower than sinners cuz they’re immortal, and special hellborn like stolas have like a super long lifespan presumably, also I always saw the chains for blitzo from stolas was blitzo being comfortable with the distance between stolas, then he sees stolas as chaining him up and pulling him closer than he’s comfortable with.
presumably forever, kinda hard to say, since we know sera and lucifer at the very least are billions of years old. Then again, almost everybody else seems a century old at best. with the exception of a handful of overlords like zestial. (and we know stolas is roughly blitz's age from a later episode) Then again, I get the impression the sins have been around for eons.
As to the chains, I think it's meant to kind of show the conflict of blitz liking stolas, but feeling the relationship is transactional and feeling chained to it by the conflict on interest created by the book and instinctively pulls away because it's important to him that he chooses stolas, not that he's obligated to love him. (hence a certain thing we all kind of expect the s2 e9 to be about)
@@bryanmoberg8408Blitz persuades himself of that long after it should be obvious that this is not true. (I’ll spare some examples because they may be spoilers). As for Stolas’ age, the main variable is how old he is in the beginning of 2.1. Then there is a 25 years later-the beginning of his and Blitz’s relationship-and then a five year lapse, which would put him at 38. I have a hard time believing that five years have gone by from “sorry I fucked your husband,” but it definitely does suggest that he’s in his mid thirties. This also means that he married Stella as a teenager. Yikes.
How long he could live-I’d always assumed simply a very long life span, until someone pointed out that another character, much later, says “eternity is a very long time.” If that’s true, Stolas could live pretty much forever unless he’s killed. Everything seems very contradictory.
A slight warning.. There was an issue with episode 8 of season 1, it was released in the middle of season 2 because of legal mess.. Please try to watch 1-8 after 1-7 (Ozzie's)? Also, there is a super sweet reason Vivziepop worked soo hard to get episode 1-8 out as it was.. (and not just because I think the honey scene reminded me of Lucifer and Charlie's song.)
I think it is just listed as s1 e8 now, so that's less of an issue than it used to be. But I recall other youtubers having major issues with that, so probably good to give her the heads up.
@@bryanmoberg8408 Luckily even if she misses it, it's not story heavy. Still after Ozzie's it's a great way to celebrate after everything.
She won't see this, but it's important to note how Blitz views himself. In the ranking of hell's species, Imps are at the lowest in the hierarchy, while Stolas is pretty high up as a royal. So in their relationship, Stolas accidently pushes this concept on Blitz by calling him "my little imp" and "little impish play thing". This distances them a lot sub-consciously as Blitz sees Stolas as too royal and almost "pure" in his ranking (as seen in Blitz's hallucination as Stolas' feathers purify the steps). Blitz doesn't feeling worthy of Stolas, so believes Stolas wouldn't ever truly love him. You can see this really impact and play a part in his life as I'm sure he's been told by others that he's just a low imp. (Maybe why he wanted to start his business)
After weeby's question about striker's gold tooth in the last episode I went and looked, and she might be on to something. Not that a gold tooth means you are in a contract, but that a contract imparts some part of their body to yours. Val and Angel both have the same gold tooth as stryker, Alastor doesn't have a single gold tooth, BUT he DOES has a mouth full of gold teeth, I thought this was too make it look like a radio dial, BUT Nifty and Husk ALSO have a full mouth of gold teeth, and nobody else does. So it's actually somewhat possible stryker IS owned by Val, which might explain something else mildly spoilery.
More importantly, this means it might be worth watching for somebody who shares some physical trait with alastor, to get an idea of who owns him. Weird shadows, red eyes, that whole..voodoo scarecrow thing he has going. While I still think it's lillith, that doesn't seem to apply to her, at least the tiny amount we've seen of her.
When you say Millie’s family were judgemental of him, it’s not because of his preferences but probably because of his lack of strength and overall nerdiness.
Millie’s family seem quite open to lgbtq since:
Moxxie is bi,
Millie is bi,
Sally May is trans,
And a couple other siblings we see in the background are also trans.
Btw, if you ever want to know, you can tell an imp’s original orientation by looking at the horns and the hair.
If an imp has white hair, their original orientation is Male.
If an imp has black hair, their original orientation is Female.
If an imp’s horns are long with thick black and white stripes, their original orientation is Male.
If an imp’s horns are short black horns with thin white lines, their original orientation is Female.
While I don't know their lifespan, imps are born, grow old, and eventually die. They have children like living humans can.
I think that Blitz *does* like Stolas, but feels like Stolas would just abandon him if he ever embraced those feelings. Having abandonment issues will do that to you.
Basically, "If I love them, they'll just leave like everyone else always does."
It's probably why he doesn't usually let Loona go up to Earth. She's probably all he has and isn't about to risk the one last good thing in his life.
I relate more than I probably should to Blitz, because of all that.
1:54 wow that was a really accurate impression
21:28 also that was a good impression
17:22 also I think this is a tf2 reference, in the video "meet the spy" soldier puts in the door code "1111" and the number 1 is also faded
Yay Truth Seekers!!!! I can't wait to see your reaction to this episode !!
Now you've officially hit the point where the narrative and character development just....gets so damn good. This show is still chaos but my god does it pack emotional punches.
This season continues to raise the bar animation and story wise. When you get to the most recent one, you will not believe you're watching the same show.
14:19 Blitz' feeling towards Stolas are complicated by their difference in social class. Blitz hallucinates that Stolas is positioned up high and he has to crawl up stairs towards him. Gold manacles appear on him because he feels like Stolas sees him as a toy/pet rather than a lover and equal. Stolas doesn't help this view when he's always slightly condescending to Blitz, calling him his little bitty imp, speaking in baby talk voice, and never taking him seriously. (Stolas: how dare you threaten my impish little play thing)
Also there’s the thing that Stolas is using his Grimoire as leverage for sexual favours because blitz needs it for work. He feels he has limited choice.
I believe Sinners are immortal except for angelic weapons. Normal demons however are not immortal, except demon royalty
This is one of my favourite episodes from season 1 because you get to see the team go FULL TILT (including Stolas) plus, any time you get the opportunity to hear Stolas's theme play is a good time. Also the "acid trip" for Moxie and Blitzo is just a treat. More good times ahead - keep watching :D
14:56 I think it’s safe to say Blitzo does not have healthy methods of expressing who he cares for.
Loona is supposedly 22 "in hell years", which work differently to earth time in some nebulous ways. Imps are mortal and age like living humans do, but they live a lot longer though not the "functionally immortal" kind of longer. Viv didn't give a very specific range for how long their life cycle is, what their maximum age is before they can't avoid dying of old age, but she did say it's "like over 200 years" if I recall correctly, so it's at least double that of a living human. But still we don't know how "hell years" work, so we don't know if it would be longer for a human or specifically on earth.
This is not info we've gotten in existing episodes yet, got this info from the cast and crew watch party stream for 1x03 Spring Broken, it started with a chatter asking about Loona's age around the time she transformed into her human disguise. There was unfortunately a few seconds where the mic cut out while Viv was giving a bit of vague info about time/age, so we don't know as much as we could. lol
i love this ep the verosika hallucation is so pretty one of my fav moments
Legitimately the most perfect episode of the entire series
Literally, everybody is accounted for
Your only on EP 1 of s1 there is so damn much to unpack and my god some of it will hit you hard
I loved the battle music in this one so much and the way they switched from one set of characters to another was so flawless
Am I the only person who JUST realized the names of HB and HH are both puns? Like Helluva Boss is basically 'hell of a boss' and Hazbin Hotel is 'has been' hotel (even tho Lucifer pointed it out in HH I only noticed now LMAO)
Definitely the best episode at the point you're at, arguably the best episode of the whole show
This episode was so great!! I solidified for me that Blitzo is developing feelings for Stolas. And any episode that focuses on Moxxie and Blitzo is on my fave list. Also that climax was so cool!
A lot of people miss that Blitz puts his arms out to protect M & M and Loona when the agents have them trapped.
Starting from "Okay, Ive had one too many emotions for today" through the fight sequence-----That's my wake-up alarm on Fridays!
Yes Blitz worked at Loo Loo Land at some point, we see a flashback of him there while Octavia was being scared by Robo Fizz as a kid in that episode.
Blitzø: “Now who wants some quality time with Daddy?”
Stolas watching from Hell: “Very much so.”
In the earlier year this episode came out, this was the #1 top episode because of the action scenes. This episode is the bomb.
Fast Thing here: I'm pretty sure Hellborn common deaths are permanent just like when humans get killed by angelic weapons.
I think Striker only had a Carminite gun just to foreshadow Hazbin Hotel + to show that his targets also include Sinners
The imp are fragile but the ars goetia are essentially immune to anything but angelic weapons
Striker also explicitly mentions killing Overlords when making his villain rant, none of whom had shown up in Helluva Boss yet, and it's common knowledge that Angelic weaponry can permanently kill Sinners (of any power level); it's just that going after anyone higher, like Stolas, was either rarely or never done up to this point.
(Vivzie has already mentioned that extremely powerful characters like Lucifer would be immune to such attacks, and it'd take someone of equal or even greater strength to truly threaten him and the other Seven Deadly Sins. Makes one wonder if, say, Archangel Michael might show up... Season 3 of Hazbin, perhaps?)
i thought hellborn cant harm sinners?
Striker had a Carmine gun because he needed it to hurt Stolas specifically.
For every reply mentioning Stolas and the Ars Goetia, you are also completely right, thx for complementing the comment!
Samurai Champloo, that's a great callback, now I think I will spend some time and binge that again.
I LOVEE YOUR VIDS SO MUCHHH
My headcanon is that, for the entire fight scene, Stolas was tearing through his library looking for some way to get to earth, before combining tomes on posession and Key of Solomon summoning just in time.
I just realized while watching this that a later song that Stollas sings is overlayed when he summons himself. I love this show!
This is probably one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen
That is an entry 25:12-25:38 👏👏👏
Stolas is adorable 25:52-25:54-26:00-26:05-26:15-26:32
I love these two 26:21-26:25-26:29 ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
7:30 Imps and other Hellborn are NOT immortal like Sinners are - they can die of old age and being murdered, but they're significantly more long-lived and durable than a typical Human would be. There's a bit of an inconsistency though, in that Stryker says that only an Angelic weapon can kill "Hell royalty" like Stolas and the other high-ranking demons, implying that they ARE immortal, whereas everything else seems to indicate even Charlie and Lucifer are mortal... I think?
Charlie isn't mortal , so isn't Lucifer. Charlie (I think) can only die to angelic power Lucifer , on the other hand , seems to be way more powerful. He can't be offed no matter what , he was punished by the other eldritch angels because he , like the other ones , is immortal , so they were only able to punish him. Tbh it would make more sense for him to be immortal , cuz at this point he well uh , wouldn't be so alive anymore. Like , it was A LOT of time since he was alive , so it wouldn't make sense for him to be offed by some angelic power.
Hellhounds are socially the lowest, Imps are the most numerous and above them, and then you get the demons like Succubi/Incubi from specific rings who are higher ranked. Human Sinners are on the same or a slightly higher level, with a large gap in power among the Overlords above them. Only then do you have the demonic royalty like Stolas, followed by the Seven Deadly Sins, with Charlie + Lilith, and finally Lucifer at the very top.
It's hinted a few times that Charlie may grow to be just as if not even more powerful than her parents, but that's something we'll just have to see play out. Meanwhile, Vivzie has also commented that while their strengths lie in different areas, Stolas would wipe the floor with Alastor in a straight fight.
But every Superman needs their kryptonite, and for most demons below the Seven Deadly Sins, it's angelic steel.
This isn't strictly a power scale though, because Hellhounds are physically stronger than most, which is why we see them as bodyguards often; but they're regarded as pets or servants at best. Even Blitz's founding of I.M.P. is seen as bold by Striker, so Imps who.. ahem.. strike out on their own.. are also regarded as unusual.
As for the rest of your comment, there's often a lot of confusion when it comes to mortal vs immortal in fiction, but the latter simply means you aren't going to die from mundane causes, like old age or ordinary injuries. It doesn't mean indestructable, which is it's own term for a reason, and even then is often conditional.
Anything more I could add would be a spoiler, but that's the gist of it!
Hey, remember how back in episode 3 Moxxie admitted to ‘wanting to know what sex with Michael Crawford was like’?
Id say that makes his hallucination rather interesting XD
Blitz has so much trauma it’s insane. I don’t think even therapy could fix him honestly.
Let me tell you something... You are gonna love this series!!
Also just saying, you will love season 2 ep 1 and 6!
The “I’m a ViRgO” is my favorite line in the entire series what a brutal rebuttal
Stolas made a demon circle to summon himself.
I’m not sure if you saw, but the preview pics for next episode features the agents from this episode, which means that the ending here actually has plot relevance
I just finished Danny’s reaction, it’s nice seeing yours >:3
Oh, wow, I just realized something while rewatching this with you.... but I can't say it without spoilers until you get to episode 8 😅
By the way, the o is silent in Blitz's name. He renounced his clowning days.
"Set Alex Brightman on them" tbf Blitzo seeing Fizzeroli would probably be seen as torture
I WAS JUST THINING ABOTU THIS REACTION IM
SO EXGITED!!!
SAME
15:39 I think this is saying he believes Stolas “owns” him to an extent. The power and education difference is quite a bit “astronomical”, and I think he’s only ever addressed Blitz as an equal once, and that was out of anger. I don’t think it’s intentional, but Stolas definitely has to admit there’s a power balance issue to himself before he’ll be able to get anywhere real with Blitzø.
Especially since he needs to sleep with Stolas in order to retain access to the living world.
19:48 "But of course Milly always Slays" Literally 😅
15:40 I think the chains are moreso trying to illustrate the fear of lack of "control", rather than an actually being forced/trapped by Stolas. I'm not 100% sure (could also be feeling trapped as in, trapped in their physical relationship) but I feel like his reaction later is interesting irt (it's not visible in this video but around 26:28); Stolas tries to lean in for a kiss and Blitz pauses before switching back over to being dominant and making it sexual (i.e. less emotionally vulnerable).
That's my wonky take at least.
This is how death works (as far as i know)
Sinners-Angelic weapons or else they kinda respawn, immortal
Ars goetia- angelic weapons, semi immortal?
Deadly sins and Lucifer- Angelic weapons, immortal
Imps/ hellhounds - anything, have a normal lifespan
I love this episode so much, it was my favourite until the more recent batch of season 2 episodes
It's got everything!!
Sidenote I've watched this episode uploaded with subs for Japanese viewers and not only are the subs really good translation wise, the Japanese viewers all seem to have one of two reactions:
1) OMG EDO PERIOD MENTIONED?! *pointing meme*
2) Simping HARD for the moment Blitzø goes "who wants to spend quality time with DADDY"
Also the Japanese ship name for Moxxie and Millie is Mirimoku and idk I just think that's freaking adorable
