The Hellevator is how you normally travel through the seven rings, only Hellborns can, so no angels or human souls, we still don't know why, but Viv mentioned it in a tweet around episode 2
Lol I really wish she'd produce a lore book if she doesn't want to put everything in the show(s). Gets so frustrating trying to figure out what's cannon and what's not from her posts to what people say lol.
Quick reminder that, at the time this episode came out, Ozzie(Asmodeus) was the most powerful being we'd ever met in Hell, sans Charlie. And Millie assaulted his boyfriend/lover mid-song. That "GET THE FUCK OUT", for as comedic as it is, is also a MASSIVE display of mercy from Asmodeus. Dude could have killed Millie right then and there with less than a breath.
@@anitaremenarova6662 You statement can be true and a spoiler at the same time too. At this point in the story, him being a softie doesn't matter because we aren't supposed to know that yet, this is season 1, literally his introduction.
What gets me the most is that after all he said to Stolas in the end, the first picture in his phone when he opens the gallery is still both of them cuddling 😿😿 love needs communication.
@@jacobfoster6773 I was surprised he visibly reacted to Stolas hiding his face when getting shamed since that was an important detail when it comes to Blitz's perspective - other reactors kinda glossed that over. Love how he pays attention to everything
@@jacobfoster6773I agree, he is one of the best. I also highly recommend AliciaxDeath’s reactions! (Especially while waiting for more of these!) she is very very thorough and even after I had watched this show 20 times, she has pointed out new stuff to me.
This is the episode where I believe the true emotional arcs begin for Blitzo and Stolas. It becomes more than just a goofy show to a goofy show with a hell of a lot of heart. I can't wait to see your reactions to the second season!😁
Omn1Media: (Looking at the pics of Blitzo and Fizzaroli and Blitzo and his mom) "What happened, man?" Helluva Boss Fans Who Already Know: "Oh you have no idea."
You would be surprised by how many people come out of this episode still not understanding Blitzo's mentality, I love how you understood and was so spot on! Also, I don't know if you know, but Asmodeus is voiced by the same person who voiced Zestial in Hazbin Hotel.
To answer a couple of your questions regarding character design: Fizz is an imp but he has mechanical arms and legs, his replicas are the only ones fully robotic. Ozzie is based on a rooster, since those have multiple chickens as partners and are know to be very lustful animals.
Fun thing, Ozzie was explaining the rules of his house basically saying “yeah, man you can sing! But we’re gonna give you the chance to spice things up.” Which is why I don’t think they were doing anything bad at first.
Yeah, as much as I love Moxxie. Him and Millie were in the LUST Ring, not really the place for lovey dovey stuff. Even if Ozzie and Fizz are secretly just as lovey dovey in private. Ozzie can't be having that shit in his club.
I don't defend their behavior like so many people do just cause they are favorites. If moxxie wasn't delivering right after the second chance, they could've kicked him out right then and there, but they chose to keep publicly humiliating them instead. And all that to Stolas, probably to embarrass Blitz more, was definitely intentional. Even like-able, usually nice characters can do mean things lol but that is hell for you (and reality; just people being people, we are complex). So I find it weird when people twist their intentions and say ozzie and fizz were legit trying to be nice here. Even saying they were actually giving compliments, or justifying it by implying moxxie deserved it by being 'worse' for singing a love song in a lust club - which the other patrons clapped for in the end anyways. Perhaps it can be argued both parties were in the wrong, but one was clearly more innocent than the other - it feels like delusion to ignore that fozzie had some malicious intent here. They were mean, unkind, and that's okay, they were meant to be antagonists in this episode, but it feels like some people struggle to accept that. Not saying you think this way, maybe that's why you said "at first"! Just giving my two cents about what i constantly see
So, the situation with episode 8 was complicated but... here goes: Episode 7 was the season finale part 1 and episode 8 was the season finale part 2. episode 8 was postponed due to legal issues with Kesha (Who voices one of the characters) that made the episode come out some time after season 2 had already started. Vivsie said that she didn't wan't to disappoint fans if the highly awaited part 2 flopped so she just made it it's own separate episode. And that's why episode 7 has finale in the title.
still the episode 8 plays directly after the ep. 7 so it make sense to watch it before season 2 (tough first episode of second season is also kind of continuation)
Just wanted to say thank you for reacting with the appropriate respect for the characters and the show. It’s nice to have a (seemingly) straight man have a positive response to her shows for once instead of the obvious disgust and discomfort most (not all) portray. I highly enjoy your videos so keep making them 😂, gained a fan for life, can’t wait for the next!
He is an ars goetia like Stolas. He bridges the the rankings of the goetia and the deadly sin, which is why he is regarded as the "weakest sin", but could destroy stolas because he's the highest goetia Also, he is a half Cherub and human. Cherubim have four heads, four wings, and their body take after their main head. Asmodeus' main head is bird-like which is why he has chicken feet. Bull Cherubim would have hoove-like feet, like Satan who's also a bull Cherub Edit: the baby Cherubs you see in ep four are modern depictions of Cherubs; Satan does not look like a baby goat
Take a note of the little bow Stolas gives Blitz just before he drives away. It comes up again later. Nothing major, but it gives some insight in how Stolas sees Blitz.
Yes. He also calls him Blitz, not “Blitzy.” And he dresses up for their “date.” Decades of training that “they” are beneath him just doesn’t stick. Unfortunately, Blitz isn’t in any shape to notice that.
Details to note in this episode, that you didn’t mention, but are good to keep in mind: - In the photos of Blitzø and Fizz from their childhood, Blitzø does not have any of the white patches on his face/skin that he has when he’s older. It’s important to note that imp scar tissue is white. - Also in those photos, Fizz has normal limbs, whereas now, his limbs are clearly robotic prosthetics. Also, Fizz’s horns were fairly large as a teen, whereas now he wears a floppy Jester’s hat that vaguely resembles his horns. And his face is completely white, apart from his still red nose, and it’s likely not makeup. - In the photo of Blitzø, his sister, and their mom, look at the necklace that his mom is wearing, and compare it with the choker that Blitzø always wears.
The others are robots, most notable difference is that their eyes glow like lights without pupils whereas the og fizzarolli has normal eyes, the og fizzarolli has robotic arms and legs but is still a normal hellborn imp
15:58 blitz does not know what love really, truly is. He keeps seeking it out, hence his obsession with moxie and millie. When stolas hid his face behind the menu, that's when blitz "knew" he wasn't "worth" loving.
It’s so sad, bc it’s so obvious that both Blitzo and Stolas feel like they’ve been humiliated in front of the other. But it’s pretty clear that Blitzo thinks Stolas feels humiliated by HIM, rather than IN FRONT of him. The misunderstandings between them are so painful
Fizzaroli, Pentious and Adam are all voiced by Alex Brightman and he always does some kind of funny sounds when singing, like the trumpet for Fizz or Adams guitar solo in hazbin, does the same for other unrelated work too.
I love how insightful you are. There are so many things you catch. And, if you really look you can see that Blitz's face is crossed out in every photo on his wall. He hates himself so much. It's so sad.
His issues with self-worth and hatred feel so real to me. It's rare to find a character that I can relate to so much in that department, it is painful. Blitz is my favorite
Watching this episode you realise that Asmodeus (at least of all the deadly sins we’ve seen so far) is probably the kindest. He didn’t kick moxxie out straight away for singing a love song in a strictly lustful lounge and even tried to kindly (with a little teasing but still) redirect him and even give an example of what he could sing, giving him a second chance. And then moxxie ignored him and Millie injured his employee, like Asmodeus could’ve killed them with a snap of his fingers for that if he wanted to but instead just kicked them out AAAAND LET MOXXIE FINISH HIS SONG FIRST. Ozzie is a pretty chill guy man
My fave part of the episode is when Stolas is so embarrassed by what is happening that he hides behind the menu. He doesn't stick up for their relationship. And then it cuts to Blitz reaction to that. He looks down at the floor in shame. That single action by Stolas confirmed Blitz thoughts about their relationship that it was embarrassing and lust based. Which in turn makes Blitz shut off and distance himself from any of Stolas' advances after that moment. In his mind Stolas loving him isn't genuine even though we all know from seeing Stolas go for the phone when seeing Blitz is calling is showing that he loves him. Can't wait to see you react to the rest.
Blitzo breaks my heart this episode. We learned about his self-destructive tendencies/intimacy issues in Truth Seekers (last ep) but seeing it in action this ep is painful. If only he let himself see a version of Stolas that loves him outside of their sexual encounters, he might find the intimacy that he desperately tries to find/vicariously live through in Millie & Moxxie, but Blitzo is so unable to accept that anyone could possibly love him that he doesn't see it. And the way he's scratched himself out of every photo on his wall... man, I just wanna give this little imp guy a hug
You're my favorite creator, i love the way you get invested in the character and get emotional, i used to watch you during a very bad time of my life and your videos gave me so much happiness, now i'm still here and i'm so grateful for your channel. Thank you and i'm excited to see your reaction to season 2!
27:08 Asmodeus is not a moth, but I understand where you got that, considering how much floof he has. Asmodeus is actually mainly a bird, specifically a rooster, with his additional heads being a ram and a bull. He has tail feathers, a beak-like mouth, and bird-like claw feet, although you can’t see them when he has his fancy heels on. 😊
OH I'M SO JEALOUS you got to hang with the Hazbin cast! Looks like y'all had a blast. I hope Valentino gets a song on season two actually, not because I like Val at all but because Joel is SO talented and I just wanna hear him on a track It's tough for me to pick a favourite Helluva Boss episode but this one is at least top three. It's got everything! It firmly establishes the emotional tone for season 2, the cast is STACKED, the musical number slaps, it's everything.
@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od House of Asmodeus could be interpreted as an antagonistic song though (I don't think it is persay but I get why it can be seen that way)
@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od he was for the one episode lol, characters roles can change, former antagonists becoming friendly isn’t an uncommon plot device. I was agreeing about Valentino getting a song though and he’s definitely a villain through and through
The voice of Ozzie, James Monroe Igehart, is known for his performance as The Genie in the Aladin Broadway Musical, Ozzie even does the Genie pose from the original animated film at 13:41
Episode 8 is a legal smorgusboard of issues. But yes, episode 8 is the ACTUAL final episode of the season. If you want to know Vivienne gained popularity with a Kesha song. When she made Helluva Boss, she had Kesha write a song for a character in the next episode. UNFORTUNATELY the lawyers that own Kesha didnt want her singing the song she wrote. And the LEGAL battle therein becomes why episode 8 of season 1 didnt release until the date of episode 7 of season 2
Your commentary is my favorite!! Such a breath of fresh air in a landscape of media illiteracy. A lot of people watched this episode and walked away /hating/ Blitzø. I walked away feeling more empathy and compassion for him than ever before. (He’s my favorite character now!)
Exactly! Like, I love Stolas, but when he hid his face behind the menu, my heart absolutely broke for Blitzø. 😢 I understand where both Stolas and Blitzø are coming from, and why each of them have communication issues. It always irritates me when reactors or commentators place the blame solely on only one of them, when they both have things to work on before their relationship can reach a healthy place.
I agree, my favorite reactors all show understanding and empathy for both perspectives, which is how it should be. He's my favorite as well, I relate to him a lot and don't think he should be hated for having very real, human issues
I really enjoy your reactions and how you delve deeper into the episode and the characters. You have a really good grasp on Blitz and his issues. Also very perceptive of you to catch the looks between ozzie and fizz too.
There hasn't been a direct connection established between Ozmodius and Valentino...but, in theory, he'd be under his jurisdiction in some manner. As for Oz himself, I believe he's supposed to be a rooster, or a 'cock' so to speak.
I don't actually think there is that connection between Val and Oz. Oz's jurisdiction is the Lust ring. Valentino cannot leave Pride. He is stuck there, just like all other sinners. He has established himself as the porn overlord in Pride, like some kind of Chinese bootleg of Lust, but he still falls under the jurisdiction of Pride. If a Sin is going to deal with him, it has to be Lucifer, because Valentino is confined to Lucifer's turf.
It depends how the jurisdiction system works in that regard. I could see that being an interpretation, but it's just as possible that anything falling under/succeeding or profiting with 'lustful' means Oz would have a hand in. Does it happen via location like turfs or is there a deeper system of connection? To my knowledge it hasn't been specified either way.@@helenanilsson5666
I don't think Sins can intervene in rings that are not their own. And if they could, I doubt Ozzie would let Valentino do what he does how he does it. We knew well that Asmodeous despises love potions and non-consensual relationships; Valentino is the complete opposite of Ozzie's values.
I believe it was confirmed that Valentino intentionally copies Asmodeus’ look, down to the imp “servant.” He can’t leave the Pride Ring, but it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t know what the Spirit of Lust is or looks like.
Kesha is in the next episode voicing a character. She was still in legal battle at the time of when the episode was supposed to release, which in turn delayed the episode. She wasn’t able to sing the song that she cowrote for the episode but still voiced the character.
The struggle between "there are places I want to go, people I want to meet, experiences I want to have!" and "my bank account is crying right now!" is very real and relatable 😅 I hope you're able to make it to Level Up; it sounds like it'd be an amazing time. To answer your question about episode 7 vs 8 being the finale: episode 8 was meant to be the finale, but there were a ton of legal issues due to a certain guest star (who you'll see when you get there) and copyright ownership of the songs their character sings. So instead of making everyone wait for those legalities to be settled, they just made episode 7 the finale and moved on to season 2, releasing episode 8 much later once they were able to. You'll learn why Fizz makes those whirring noises in episode 2x06...along with a bunch of your other questions. Blitzø crossed his own face out of every photo on the wall; that's how much he hates himself. He can't even stand to look at himself. And that... is both heartbreaking and way more relatable than I'd like it to be...
My favourite Helluva boss character is Stolas. Asmodeus is good character too, but most of Helluva boss characters are very good. Same goes to the Hazbin Hotel characters, just two great shows man.
I continue to be STUNNED by how much you catch even on your first watch! Your hellaverse reactions are definitely my favorite because you are so invested in these characters and understand them so well
I absolutely love your analysis on their entire relationship and mentality in the end. Its amazingly spot on and well thought out. Its really refreshing since i see a lot of other reactors still not getting it even after seeing episode 7 and 8.
So about Ozzie: hes one of the Kings of hell from Solomon's key and his design, just like Stolas, is based of his actual description in the key of Solomon. His description is as follows: "He appeareth with Three Heads, whereof the first is like a bull the second like a man and the third like a ram; he bath also the tail of a serpent, and from his mouth issue Flames of Fire. His feet are webbed like those of a goose." so overall he's a bird made of fire with a bull and ram skull on either side that has the shape of a man when using less fire. Love that his design matches his og description
So, Fun fact about Ozzie's design. It is inspired by the description of Asmodeus from the ars goetia in the lesser keys of solomon. "the first is like a bull, the second like a man, and the third like a ram or a goat; the tail of a serpent, and from his mouth issue flames of fire".
Stolas hid his face due to the stigma of a royal having infatuations with a low class demons like imps that’s mostly considered the help shameful and taboo. Stolas hiding himself behind the menu and not standing up for him out of possible embarrassment made Blitz feel his fears where valid that he’s just a shameful plaything in to Stolas even if its not really the case which is why Blitz said all he cared about was the s**. Asmodeus is a Rooster themed demon since he’s not only a one of the seven prince of hell but a king in Ars Goetia since Viv decided to make all or most of the Ars Goetia in the her universe bird theme demons and related as a noble family Asmodeus was made a rooster. In real life the Ars Goetia aren’t demons aren’t all birds Amodeus traditionally not being one but she keeps the elements of him having three his main and the 2 on the sides of his crest fiery fluff thing one being a ram or goat a bull and the middle head of a man designed here into that shadowy rooster head.
Did I miss that? I only remember the moment at the table where Blitz was the one I saw pull his hand away from Stolas who was reach out to him? There was the moment when they were roasting Stolas about his life decisions and he hid behind the menu.
Sorry you’re right meant Blitz the moment of the Stolas menu was during the song when he was getting roosted I’ll correct it to let you know what I really mentioned to say.
This episode really hits hard. It made me cry. Everything Ozzie and Fizz said about Stolas and blitz’s love lives is the truth. Plus blitz’s biggest fear is that he’s going to die alone and no one is going to care. 😢😢😢
21:09 literally me everytime i see this episode, the next one, the next one, then s2e4, then s2e5, then s2e6,,,,,like every other episode in s2 is making me sob. I fucking love helluva so much. Nowhere will you find a show that is so "immature" and full of crude humour and swearing and SEEMS juvenile on the surface and still have it chock full of beautiful, fascinating complexity and deep themes at the same time. A masterpiece. And you're so right on the money about blitz, about him putting up walls and trying to live through millie and moxxie and get involved with them to experience and feel what a stable loving relationship is like. Like he craves intimacy and love and people but is too scared of fucking up and being hurt, that he never dares to try it himself, but stalks M&M to experience it second-hand. That's all he's allowing himself. In how he pushes away and low-key villainizes stolas as a defense mechanism. His face scratched out in all his framed photos implies a clear self hatred and feeling of undeserving-ness, playing a huge part in his behaviour and all his relationships. Blitz, my poor damaged bb
I love that you already seem to have a pretty good grasp on the plotlines and emotional baggage that is being sprinkled in through the episodes. If you haven't already watched it I would advise you to watch and pay attention to the credits of episode 8 to see the 'full' name of the new character introduced as it doesn't get said out loud at all, only their nickname.
Episode 8 was delayed to to copyright issues, so it came out after season 2 episode 2 or 3, but it is intended to be watched after episode 7. You will figure out why it could have been copy right delayed when you read who shpwed up in the cast.
Yes this is what Helluva Boss does to you 😭😭😭 Episode 5 on it just GOES, and slowly starts to hit you with emotion more and more now. Trust me, every episode after this just GOES, and hits you on some emotional level and every episode after episode 4 just moves the emotions of the characters, their development and backstory, and plot forward. It just GOES, it’s SO good. You’ll definitely cry and get emotional throughout season 2 as season 2 just HITS, EVERY EPISODE. It’s insane, I love it 😭 and I NEVER expected it from this show that was just so silly and fun at first 😂 like I didn’t expect to get emotional and so invested in this show, but then post episode 4 goes and DAMN 😖. I can’t WAIT for all the episodes coming!! I NEVER expected to get so emotionally moved and hyped for all the connections and characters by the end! It’s amazing!! I can’t wait for you ti react to all the emotions, character backstory and development, and twists to come!! Enjoy!!!! Every episode post episode 4 just has SO much!! You’re going to LOVE it and it so excited!! And happy!!
Now you've met the first of the Sins (well aside from Luci), Asmodeus, embodiment of lust! And yeah, those looks between him and Fizz weren't quite as subtle as they thought xD I loved you looking through all the photos and stuff in the end, there's some good shit there! Can't wait for you to see certain later episodes
This is my favorite episode of Hazbin/Helluva Boss because A) I'm in love with Stolas and his adorable (partially) unrequited crush on Blitz, B) I love Moxxie and Millie's relationship, C) The House of Asmodeus song is not only musically great but such a great story moment for how it captures relationships between so many characters: Blitz and Stolas, Stolas and Asmodeus, Asmodeus and Fizzarollie, Fizarrollie and Blitz, Blitz and Verosika, Blitz and Moxxie, Moxxie and Millie. So many relationships are going on in the song and it's very well-done.
This episode is what changed the show for me from just a funny show to a wayyy deeper one. I’ve rewatched it so many times and was so excited for you to see it!!
27:54 To answer the question on the skulls, the design of Asmodeus is based off of the literal Mythology - he is Rooster themed with 3 heads: one as a goat and one as a Lion. Those are the extra heads you’re seeing in his Maine. Honestly it’s still fascinating how they design characters like him and Lucifer imo anyway hope that helped 😂✨
[ no story spoilers just which episodes to expect to hear about there back stories. Read if you feel like it] Season 2 ep 1 talks more about just stolas and ep 6 talks more on blitzo past that's all that will say. Other then your going to love/ hate there circumstances that made them
I love helluva friday, also sounds like you had fun going to meet some of the voice actors so glad you (hopefully) enjoyed it. For the price thingy I got no advice, at the end of the day it really depends on it you can afford it and if it's personally worth it to you
My theory for why the ring stations look so angelic is because they were created by Heaven to seperate the demons in Hell and create factions with rings in hopes that it would cause them to have conflicts with each other and leave Heaven alone. It would make each ring want to feel superior to the last and compete.
Asking about Fizz’s robotic parts leads to spoilers!! You’ll find out later on! This episode will bring out the spoilers so be very careful what you read in them!! Loved your reaction btw! Makes me want to watch it again!
I really liked when blitz is driving away from Ozzie’s from stolas says good bye blitz and not him saying blitzy I think it’s the first time we hear stolas say it normal
I think in some ways the first season of HB is similar to the first season of Harbin. Hazbin definitely was more story centric while HB was more episodic initially in the first season. But looking back on HB season 1, it's pretty clear that most of the episodes were used to establish elements that were expanded on in season 2. Hopefully Hazbin does the same next season.
aaaaa i cant WAIT for season 2. it just hurts more and more from here :’) ep8 of season 1 was delayed for legal reasons but its more of a bonus & fun way to wrap up the season before the next! also i just have to say you’re pretty spot on about the details! there are multiple photos of him with others on his wall and yes he’s scratched out in ALL of them
Oh my god I swear you are the BEST reactor I’ve EVER seen! Im always absolutely terrified to see people react to this episode because so many people just rip on Blitz and don’t have the slightest understanding of his character, but you see him perfectly and it makes me so damn happy!
dudeeee you're so lucky to have met them live - so dope 🥲 and this episode really made me realize that Valentino really copies Ozzie's style man😂 I guess it makes sense but man he really wants to be him so bad (I mean he even got himself a Fizz replica lol) very emotional 2 episodes (this one and next) it's just depressing because I feel like many of us can relate to Blitz in more or less ways..
This is where the plot really gets going, and I love that there are things in this episode you picked up that will be important later. I'm so excited to see you keep going.
If Ozzie ever met Valentino he would bury Valentino into the dirt in pure rage. One thing that need to be understood here is that Lust is not 100% evil it is interpreted and seen as evil but not rightfully so. If 2 individual both lust after eachother in equal consent it's not evil it is love, if one wishes to be bottom and then get treated as one then they get there desire fulfilled its a form of love. Lust becomes evil when what is more interpered as non-conesual love making happens or when one desire goes to far and enter a more destructive behavior. This is also why lust is the weakest of all the sins in the show.
Fun Fact: Asmodeous is voiced by James Monroe Iglehart... who also voiced the Overlord Zestial in Hazbin Hotel (As well as Vortex, the Hellhound who Loona had a crush on). The little 2 shadow faces on the sides of Ozzie's real head are a nod to Asmodeous real life depictions where he is shown to have 3 heads... one human, one Goat and one Bull. Yes, the Fizzarolli shown in this episode is the original, and like you saw in Blitz's pictures he was born as a normal Imp... but now he seems to have robotic augmentations which would make him a cyborg. You also saw the Elevator that Hellborn demons use to travel between the 7 rings of Hell.... given it's clearly angelic design it is almost certain that Lucifer is the one who created it. The Rings of Hell are layered like this: 1.- Pride (Red) 2.- Wrath (Orange) 3.- Gluttony (Yellow) 4.- Greed (Green) 5.- Lust (Dark Blue) 6.- Envy (Purple) 7.- Sloth (Pink) Blitz always spies on Millie and Moxxie because he wants to feel a little bit of the warmth and love they have for each other... even if it is from afar. He doesn't view himself as worthy of love therefore he is afraid of being close with others. This also ties with the last scene of the episode where we see that Blitz has scratched himself out of all the pictures... which is clearly a sign that he hates himself.
This Fiz is the original Fiz. The others are robots/sex toys. This Fox does have robotic arms and legs and will be explained later, but right now it would be a spoiler to explain further.
So technically this episode is part one of the finale and episode eight is part two of the finale. Episode eight was supposed to be realsed after this one but was delayed due to copyright issues with a certain guest voice actor in the episode. Episode eight is supposed to be watched directly after this one, so I would recommend reacting to episode eight next before moving onto season two. Love the reactions :D keep up the good work!
So basically Fizz is an imp with robotic arms and legs as he got damaged (story of that will be explained later), Ozzie is kinda a roster demon kind and yes, Blizo is having fear of loving anyone cuz he is too afraid to lose important ppl in his life so he keeps distance
Love how invested you get with the show and can't wait to see you find out more about the backstories in season 2 :) You might have to be careful with some comments (haven't seen any specifically here) but people tend to spoil the juicy backstory bits to questions you had. Hopefully you can avoid those.
The "skulls" in Asmodeus's plummage are actually a neat reimagining of his original description, wherein he has three heads, each of a different animal. Though I'm not sure where the rooster imagery comes from, since traditionally he is more or less a mismatch of different animal and human parts.
One of the interesting yet frustrating things about the Vivzie-verse is how many details of it go unexplained in the shows and can only be found out by going online. On the one hand it's a good strategy to encourage engagement with the community, but it still leaves people confused. Ozzie's design comes from a rather complicated description of Asmodeus where he has 3 different animal heads. Not everyone loves his look, but then again everybody likes to post their own redesigns of Vivzie's characters so that's nothing new. I think this is the ep where we first see what the show is really about and how messed up Blitz actually is. He only feels comfortable when those he loves can't escspe. He kind of holds his employees hostage and jokingly smothers and harrases them. He doesn't trust any arrangement that isn't transactional.
Eppisode 8 was supposed to be the original end of season, but got delayed due to having to work out legal complications regarding Kesha voicing Beelzebub. Ultimately she ended up voicing the spoken parts only, and they brought in someone else (a sound alike) to sing the Beelzebub's song.
The reason why Blizo’s hallucination was so sad and harsh is because he hates himself. He sad and scared about being alone and dying alone. Which I think that’s sad and sweet. Also why he scribbled his vase out of the pictures is because, he hates himself.😢😢❤❤😊😊
I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet but Ozzie is a rooster, and I'm not sure if it's confirmed or not but fans guessing he has some relations to Stolas (cuz both birds lol). Ozzie's skull like things on his feathers/fur are actually based on the original Asmodeus which has 3 heads , the sides being a goat and a bull. Fans are also guessing that Valentino "stole"/tries to resemble Ozzie's style because maybe he's looking up to him at some degree by Ozzie being the embodiment of lust.
i feel Blitz pushes people away because he feels hes going to somehow screw up their life and and he sees how Millie and moxi have such a great relationship and he wants to have that so he uses them as a sort of study guide
Ok so episode 8 was held up due to many legal reasons. The wait was literally 10 months after this episode came out. I don't want to say what the legal reasons are because they are a super surprise. So please watch episode 8 after this episode it's in chronological order. Love your stuff 👍❣️
The Hellevator is how you normally travel through the seven rings, only Hellborns can, so no angels or human souls, we still don't know why, but Viv mentioned it in a tweet around episode 2
Lol I really wish she'd produce a lore book if she doesn't want to put everything in the show(s). Gets so frustrating trying to figure out what's cannon and what's not from her posts to what people say lol.
@@niccilefevre would help a ton
@@niccilefevreI’d so buy that
So would Lucifer and Lilith be denied entry? Haha
@@niccilefevreThey should make a Hellaverse "Bible" you could say?~
Quick reminder that, at the time this episode came out, Ozzie(Asmodeus) was the most powerful being we'd ever met in Hell, sans Charlie.
And Millie assaulted his boyfriend/lover mid-song.
That "GET THE FUCK OUT", for as comedic as it is, is also a MASSIVE display of mercy from Asmodeus. Dude could have killed Millie right then and there with less than a breath.
He would never, we all know guy's a total softie. Was only understandably upset about Millie concussing his beloved.
@@anitaremenarova6662 Sure, but that's not the real point I'm making. My point is Millie didn't know that.
Girl is batshit fucking insane.🤣
@@colt1903 Both our statements can be true at the same time. Millie is in fact a keeper.
@@anitaremenarova6662 You statement can be true and a spoiler at the same time too. At this point in the story, him being a softie doesn't matter because we aren't supposed to know that yet, this is season 1, literally his introduction.
Spoiler bro dont be an idiot
What gets me the most is that after all he said to Stolas in the end, the first picture in his phone when he opens the gallery is still both of them cuddling 😿😿 love needs communication.
I never noticed that. Good catch.
25:53 I can’t believe you caught that your media literacy is insane
Honestly i think he's the most observant reactor that I've seen.
Literally why he's my favorite reaction channel.
@@jacobfoster6773 I was surprised he visibly reacted to Stolas hiding his face when getting shamed since that was an important detail when it comes to Blitz's perspective - other reactors kinda glossed that over. Love how he pays attention to everything
@@jacobfoster6773I agree, he is one of the best. I also highly recommend AliciaxDeath’s reactions! (Especially while waiting for more of these!) she is very very thorough and even after I had watched this show 20 times, she has pointed out new stuff to me.
Right?! His reactions r making me giddy cuz he pays such close attention to detail. Definitely watching more of his reactions later 😶
The Replica Fizzies are robots/androids, while Fizzarolli himself is an Imp Cyborg.
i thought he was just an amputee with a prosthetic?
All of his appendages are robotic so he is technically a cyborg
Can you just ket him watch the show and figure it the fuck out we don't have to spell it out for him
@@monochromesoul5873who pissed in your cereal
@@felixhenson9926 You sir have described a cyborg. Robotic limb? Cyborg.
This is the episode where I believe the true emotional arcs begin for Blitzo and Stolas. It becomes more than just a goofy show to a goofy show with a hell of a lot of heart. I can't wait to see your reactions to the second season!😁
Omn1Media: (Looking at the pics of Blitzo and Fizzaroli and Blitzo and his mom) "What happened, man?"
Helluva Boss Fans Who Already Know: "Oh you have no idea."
Its not that crazy
@@mt32boi45 No, but it's heartbreaking
man i consider it to be pretty crazy. put yourself in their shoes and it’d be extremely traumatic
You would be surprised by how many people come out of this episode still not understanding Blitzo's mentality, I love how you understood and was so spot on!
Also, I don't know if you know, but Asmodeus is voiced by the same person who voiced Zestial in Hazbin Hotel.
To answer a couple of your questions regarding character design: Fizz is an imp but he has mechanical arms and legs, his replicas are the only ones fully robotic. Ozzie is based on a rooster, since those have multiple chickens as partners and are know to be very lustful animals.
Fun thing, Ozzie was explaining the rules of his house basically saying “yeah, man you can sing! But we’re gonna give you the chance to spice things up.” Which is why I don’t think they were doing anything bad at first.
Moxxie should have told them how he gets pegged 😅
Yeah, as much as I love Moxxie. Him and Millie were in the LUST Ring, not really the place for lovey dovey stuff. Even if Ozzie and Fizz are secretly just as lovey dovey in private. Ozzie can't be having that shit in his club.
I don't defend their behavior like so many people do just cause they are favorites. If moxxie wasn't delivering right after the second chance, they could've kicked him out right then and there, but they chose to keep publicly humiliating them instead. And all that to Stolas, probably to embarrass Blitz more, was definitely intentional. Even like-able, usually nice characters can do mean things lol but that is hell for you (and reality; just people being people, we are complex). So I find it weird when people twist their intentions and say ozzie and fizz were legit trying to be nice here. Even saying they were actually giving compliments, or justifying it by implying moxxie deserved it by being 'worse' for singing a love song in a lust club - which the other patrons clapped for in the end anyways. Perhaps it can be argued both parties were in the wrong, but one was clearly more innocent than the other - it feels like delusion to ignore that fozzie had some malicious intent here. They were mean, unkind, and that's okay, they were meant to be antagonists in this episode, but it feels like some people struggle to accept that. Not saying you think this way, maybe that's why you said "at first"! Just giving my two cents about what i constantly see
Imagine if he saw what they did at the summer camp at the end of Unhappy campers. I imagine something like "Now that is what I'm talking about!".
@@HanmacxA missed opportunity.
So, the situation with episode 8 was complicated but... here goes:
Episode 7 was the season finale part 1 and episode 8 was the season finale part 2.
episode 8 was postponed due to legal issues with Kesha (Who voices one of the characters) that made the episode come out some time after season 2 had already started.
Vivsie said that she didn't wan't to disappoint fans if the highly awaited part 2 flopped so she just made it it's own separate episode.
And that's why episode 7 has finale in the title.
Also, Fizz is an amputee so he has robotic limbs.
That explains the whirring.
Also episode 8 is more of a fun wrap-up party to S1, episode 7 is really the proper finale, story-wise
still the episode 8 plays directly after the ep. 7 so it make sense to watch it before season 2 (tough first episode of second season is also kind of continuation)
@@Daralyndk I never said it wouldn't make sense, but... I know what you mean.
@@TypicalGoldfishsorry, it was just general comment meant for the original, not against you specifically, sorry if it sounded like that
Just wanted to say thank you for reacting with the appropriate respect for the characters and the show. It’s nice to have a (seemingly) straight man have a positive response to her shows for once instead of the obvious disgust and discomfort most (not all) portray. I highly enjoy your videos so keep making them 😂, gained a fan for life, can’t wait for the next!
That means a lot! Love is Love!
Also, Ozzie is confirmed to be a chicken, he is one of the seven sins and is kinda the head of the ars goetia( mostly bird royals )
More specifically a cockerel.
He's a chimera
@@DevAmyArt Nah he's a cock
He is an ars goetia like Stolas. He bridges the the rankings of the goetia and the deadly sin, which is why he is regarded as the "weakest sin", but could destroy stolas because he's the highest goetia
Also, he is a half Cherub and human. Cherubim have four heads, four wings, and their body take after their main head. Asmodeus' main head is bird-like which is why he has chicken feet. Bull Cherubim would have hoove-like feet, like Satan who's also a bull Cherub
Edit: the baby Cherubs you see in ep four are modern depictions of Cherubs; Satan does not look like a baby goat
THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE
Take a note of the little bow Stolas gives Blitz just before he drives away. It comes up again later. Nothing major, but it gives some insight in how Stolas sees Blitz.
Yes. He also calls him Blitz, not “Blitzy.” And he dresses up for their “date.” Decades of training that “they” are beneath him just doesn’t stick. Unfortunately, Blitz isn’t in any shape to notice that.
Details to note in this episode, that you didn’t mention, but are good to keep in mind:
- In the photos of Blitzø and Fizz from their childhood, Blitzø does not have any of the white patches on his face/skin that he has when he’s older. It’s important to note that imp scar tissue is white.
- Also in those photos, Fizz has normal limbs, whereas now, his limbs are clearly robotic prosthetics. Also, Fizz’s horns were fairly large as a teen, whereas now he wears a floppy Jester’s hat that vaguely resembles his horns. And his face is completely white, apart from his still red nose, and it’s likely not makeup.
- In the photo of Blitzø, his sister, and their mom, look at the necklace that his mom is wearing, and compare it with the choker that Blitzø always wears.
The others are robots, most notable difference is that their eyes glow like lights without pupils whereas the og fizzarolli has normal eyes, the og fizzarolli has robotic arms and legs but is still a normal hellborn imp
Begging for people to not spoil it for you. I love your reactions, can’t wait for the next one!
15:58 blitz does not know what love really, truly is. He keeps seeking it out, hence his obsession with moxie and millie. When stolas hid his face behind the menu, that's when blitz "knew" he wasn't "worth" loving.
That's so heartbreaking omfg 😭
It’s so sad, bc it’s so obvious that both Blitzo and Stolas feel like they’ve been humiliated in front of the other. But it’s pretty clear that Blitzo thinks Stolas feels humiliated by HIM, rather than IN FRONT of him. The misunderstandings between them are so painful
Fizzaroli, Pentious and Adam are all voiced by Alex Brightman and he always does some kind of funny sounds when singing, like the trumpet for Fizz or Adams guitar solo in hazbin, does the same for other unrelated work too.
I love how insightful you are. There are so many things you catch. And, if you really look you can see that Blitz's face is crossed out in every photo on his wall. He hates himself so much. It's so sad.
His issues with self-worth and hatred feel so real to me. It's rare to find a character that I can relate to so much in that department, it is painful. Blitz is my favorite
Watching this episode you realise that Asmodeus (at least of all the deadly sins we’ve seen so far) is probably the kindest.
He didn’t kick moxxie out straight away for singing a love song in a strictly lustful lounge and even tried to kindly (with a little teasing but still) redirect him and even give an example of what he could sing, giving him a second chance.
And then moxxie ignored him and Millie injured his employee, like Asmodeus could’ve killed them with a snap of his fingers for that if he wanted to but instead just kicked them out AAAAND LET MOXXIE FINISH HIS SONG FIRST.
Ozzie is a pretty chill guy man
My fave part of the episode is when Stolas is so embarrassed by what is happening that he hides behind the menu. He doesn't stick up for their relationship. And then it cuts to Blitz reaction to that. He looks down at the floor in shame. That single action by Stolas confirmed Blitz thoughts about their relationship that it was embarrassing and lust based. Which in turn makes Blitz shut off and distance himself from any of Stolas' advances after that moment. In his mind Stolas loving him isn't genuine even though we all know from seeing Stolas go for the phone when seeing Blitz is calling is showing that he loves him.
Can't wait to see you react to the rest.
Blitzo breaks my heart this episode. We learned about his self-destructive tendencies/intimacy issues in Truth Seekers (last ep) but seeing it in action this ep is painful. If only he let himself see a version of Stolas that loves him outside of their sexual encounters, he might find the intimacy that he desperately tries to find/vicariously live through in Millie & Moxxie, but Blitzo is so unable to accept that anyone could possibly love him that he doesn't see it. And the way he's scratched himself out of every photo on his wall... man, I just wanna give this little imp guy a hug
You're my favorite creator, i love the way you get invested in the character and get emotional, i used to watch you during a very bad time of my life and your videos gave me so much happiness, now i'm still here and i'm so grateful for your channel. Thank you and i'm excited to see your reaction to season 2!
That really means a lot! I'm glad you are still here and I really hope things have gotten better for you!
@Omn1Media thank you, they're! Off topic but I wanted to ask are you gonna do another live soon? I love those videos as well
@@goblinzed3078 tomorrow the weekend live streams will be back on
@@Omn1Media can't wait! Have a good rest of the day!
27:08 Asmodeus is not a moth, but I understand where you got that, considering how much floof he has.
Asmodeus is actually mainly a bird, specifically a rooster, with his additional heads being a ram and a bull. He has tail feathers, a beak-like mouth, and bird-like claw feet, although you can’t see them when he has his fancy heels on. 😊
OH I'M SO JEALOUS you got to hang with the Hazbin cast! Looks like y'all had a blast. I hope Valentino gets a song on season two actually, not because I like Val at all but because Joel is SO talented and I just wanna hear him on a track
It's tough for me to pick a favourite Helluva Boss episode but this one is at least top three. It's got everything! It firmly establishes the emotional tone for season 2, the cast is STACKED, the musical number slaps, it's everything.
Plus we all know that villain songs are usually always amazing lol
@Okk681 Asmodeus isn't a villain at all though
@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od House of Asmodeus could be interpreted as an antagonistic song though (I don't think it is persay but I get why it can be seen that way)
@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od he was for the one episode lol, characters roles can change, former antagonists becoming friendly isn’t an uncommon plot device. I was agreeing about Valentino getting a song though and he’s definitely a villain through and through
The voice of Ozzie, James Monroe Igehart, is known for his performance as The Genie in the Aladin Broadway Musical, Ozzie even does the Genie pose from the original animated film at 13:41
Season 1 is a lot of world building, season 2 is is all character and where all your answers await- and are worth the wait
Episode 8 is a legal smorgusboard of issues. But yes, episode 8 is the ACTUAL final episode of the season.
If you want to know Vivienne gained popularity with a Kesha song. When she made Helluva Boss, she had Kesha write a song for a character in the next episode. UNFORTUNATELY the lawyers that own Kesha didnt want her singing the song she wrote. And the LEGAL battle therein becomes why episode 8 of season 1 didnt release until the date of episode 7 of season 2
It released between episodes 4 and 5 of season 2, not episode 7.
Your commentary is my favorite!! Such a breath of fresh air in a landscape of media illiteracy. A lot of people watched this episode and walked away /hating/ Blitzø. I walked away feeling more empathy and compassion for him than ever before. (He’s my favorite character now!)
Exactly! Like, I love Stolas, but when he hid his face behind the menu, my heart absolutely broke for Blitzø. 😢
I understand where both Stolas and Blitzø are coming from, and why each of them have communication issues. It always irritates me when reactors or commentators place the blame solely on only one of them, when they both have things to work on before their relationship can reach a healthy place.
I agree, my favorite reactors all show understanding and empathy for both perspectives, which is how it should be. He's my favorite as well, I relate to him a lot and don't think he should be hated for having very real, human issues
I really enjoy your reactions and how you delve deeper into the episode and the characters. You have a really good grasp on Blitz and his issues. Also very perceptive of you to catch the looks between ozzie and fizz too.
There hasn't been a direct connection established between Ozmodius and Valentino...but, in theory, he'd be under his jurisdiction in some manner. As for Oz himself, I believe he's supposed to be a rooster, or a 'cock' so to speak.
I don't actually think there is that connection between Val and Oz. Oz's jurisdiction is the Lust ring. Valentino cannot leave Pride. He is stuck there, just like all other sinners. He has established himself as the porn overlord in Pride, like some kind of Chinese bootleg of Lust, but he still falls under the jurisdiction of Pride. If a Sin is going to deal with him, it has to be Lucifer, because Valentino is confined to Lucifer's turf.
It depends how the jurisdiction system works in that regard. I could see that being an interpretation, but it's just as possible that anything falling under/succeeding or profiting with 'lustful' means Oz would have a hand in. Does it happen via location like turfs or is there a deeper system of connection? To my knowledge it hasn't been specified either way.@@helenanilsson5666
I don't think Sins can intervene in rings that are not their own. And if they could, I doubt Ozzie would let Valentino do what he does how he does it. We knew well that Asmodeous despises love potions and non-consensual relationships; Valentino is the complete opposite of Ozzie's values.
I believe it was confirmed that Valentino intentionally copies Asmodeus’ look, down to the imp “servant.” He can’t leave the Pride Ring, but it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t know what the Spirit of Lust is or looks like.
Kesha is in the next episode voicing a character. She was still in legal battle at the time of when the episode was supposed to release, which in turn delayed the episode. She wasn’t able to sing the song that she cowrote for the episode but still voiced the character.
One of the best S1 episodes honestly
The struggle between "there are places I want to go, people I want to meet, experiences I want to have!" and "my bank account is crying right now!" is very real and relatable 😅 I hope you're able to make it to Level Up; it sounds like it'd be an amazing time.
To answer your question about episode 7 vs 8 being the finale: episode 8 was meant to be the finale, but there were a ton of legal issues due to a certain guest star (who you'll see when you get there) and copyright ownership of the songs their character sings. So instead of making everyone wait for those legalities to be settled, they just made episode 7 the finale and moved on to season 2, releasing episode 8 much later once they were able to.
You'll learn why Fizz makes those whirring noises in episode 2x06...along with a bunch of your other questions.
Blitzø crossed his own face out of every photo on the wall; that's how much he hates himself. He can't even stand to look at himself. And that... is both heartbreaking and way more relatable than I'd like it to be...
the one who voices Ozzie also voices Zestial in Hazbin
Asmodeus is finally here!! My favorite HB character
My favourite Helluva boss character is Stolas. Asmodeus is good character too, but most of Helluva boss characters are very good. Same goes to the Hazbin Hotel characters, just two great shows man.
@@joeldean2706 That's true! I love pretty much every character from both Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss.
I love Ozzie aswell
I continue to be STUNNED by how much you catch even on your first watch! Your hellaverse reactions are definitely my favorite because you are so invested in these characters and understand them so well
🎵You singing love songs in my Omn1Media lounge 🎵
I absolutely love your analysis on their entire relationship and mentality in the end. Its amazingly spot on and well thought out.
Its really refreshing since i see a lot of other reactors still not getting it even after seeing episode 7 and 8.
So about Ozzie: hes one of the Kings of hell from Solomon's key and his design, just like Stolas, is based of his actual description in the key of Solomon. His description is as follows: "He appeareth with Three Heads, whereof the first is like a bull the second like a man and the third like a ram; he bath also the tail of a serpent, and from his mouth issue Flames of Fire. His feet are webbed like those of a goose." so overall he's a bird made of fire with a bull and ram skull on either side that has the shape of a man when using less fire. Love that his design matches his og description
So, Fun fact about Ozzie's design. It is inspired by the description of Asmodeus from the ars goetia in the lesser keys of solomon. "the first is like a bull, the second like a man, and the third like a ram or a goat; the tail of a serpent, and from his mouth issue flames of fire".
Other than the fire this doesn't match at all.
Stolas hid his face due to the stigma of a royal having infatuations with a low class demons like imps that’s mostly considered the help shameful and taboo. Stolas hiding himself behind the menu and not standing up for him out of possible embarrassment made Blitz feel his fears where valid that he’s just a shameful plaything in to Stolas even if its not really the case which is why Blitz said all he cared about was the s**.
Asmodeus is a Rooster themed demon since he’s not only a one of the seven prince of hell but a king in Ars Goetia since Viv decided to make all or most of the Ars Goetia in the her universe bird theme demons and related as a noble family Asmodeus was made a rooster. In real life the Ars Goetia aren’t demons aren’t all birds Amodeus traditionally not being one but she keeps the elements of him having three his main and the 2 on the sides of his crest fiery fluff thing one being a ram or goat a bull and the middle head of a man designed here into that shadowy rooster head.
Did I miss that? I only remember the moment at the table where Blitz was the one I saw pull his hand away from Stolas who was reach out to him? There was the moment when they were roasting Stolas about his life decisions and he hid behind the menu.
Sorry you’re right meant Blitz the moment of the Stolas menu was during the song when he was getting roosted I’ll correct it to let you know what I really mentioned to say.
This episode really hits hard. It made me cry. Everything Ozzie and Fizz said about Stolas and blitz’s love lives is the truth. Plus blitz’s biggest fear is that he’s going to die alone and no one is going to care. 😢😢😢
21:09 literally me everytime i see this episode, the next one, the next one, then s2e4, then s2e5, then s2e6,,,,,like every other episode in s2 is making me sob.
I fucking love helluva so much. Nowhere will you find a show that is so "immature" and full of crude humour and swearing and SEEMS juvenile on the surface and still have it chock full of beautiful, fascinating complexity and deep themes at the same time.
A masterpiece.
And you're so right on the money about blitz, about him putting up walls and trying to live through millie and moxxie and get involved with them to experience and feel what a stable loving relationship is like.
Like he craves intimacy and love and people but is too scared of fucking up and being hurt, that he never dares to try it himself, but stalks M&M to experience it second-hand. That's all he's allowing himself.
In how he pushes away and low-key villainizes stolas as a defense mechanism.
His face scratched out in all his framed photos implies a clear self hatred and feeling of undeserving-ness, playing a huge part in his behaviour and all his relationships.
Blitz, my poor damaged bb
I love that you already seem to have a pretty good grasp on the plotlines and emotional baggage that is being sprinkled in through the episodes. If you haven't already watched it I would advise you to watch and pay attention to the credits of episode 8 to see the 'full' name of the new character introduced as it doesn't get said out loud at all, only their nickname.
Come on People, how can you NOT be subscribed ?
shame on you !
Episode 8 was delayed to to copyright issues, so it came out after season 2 episode 2 or 3, but it is intended to be watched after episode 7. You will figure out why it could have been copy right delayed when you read who shpwed up in the cast.
Yes this is what Helluva Boss does to you 😭😭😭 Episode 5 on it just GOES, and slowly starts to hit you with emotion more and more now. Trust me, every episode after this just GOES, and hits you on some emotional level and every episode after episode 4 just moves the emotions of the characters, their development and backstory, and plot forward. It just GOES, it’s SO good. You’ll definitely cry and get emotional throughout season 2 as season 2 just HITS, EVERY EPISODE. It’s insane, I love it 😭 and I NEVER expected it from this show that was just so silly and fun at first 😂 like I didn’t expect to get emotional and so invested in this show, but then post episode 4 goes and DAMN 😖. I can’t WAIT for all the episodes coming!! I NEVER expected to get so emotionally moved and hyped for all the connections and characters by the end! It’s amazing!! I can’t wait for you ti react to all the emotions, character backstory and development, and twists to come!! Enjoy!!!! Every episode post episode 4 just has SO much!! You’re going to LOVE it and it so excited!! And happy!!
Now you've met the first of the Sins (well aside from Luci), Asmodeus, embodiment of lust! And yeah, those looks between him and Fizz weren't quite as subtle as they thought xD
I loved you looking through all the photos and stuff in the end, there's some good shit there! Can't wait for you to see certain later episodes
This is my favorite episode of Hazbin/Helluva Boss because A) I'm in love with Stolas and his adorable (partially) unrequited crush on Blitz, B) I love Moxxie and Millie's relationship, C) The House of Asmodeus song is not only musically great but such a great story moment for how it captures relationships between so many characters: Blitz and Stolas, Stolas and Asmodeus, Asmodeus and Fizzarollie, Fizarrollie and Blitz, Blitz and Verosika, Blitz and Moxxie, Moxxie and Millie. So many relationships are going on in the song and it's very well-done.
This episode is what changed the show for me from just a funny show to a wayyy deeper one. I’ve rewatched it so many times and was so excited for you to see it!!
Watched this when it came out in October, wasn’t until August that we got the next episode. Goodness gracious
27:54
To answer the question on the skulls, the design of Asmodeus is based off of the literal Mythology - he is Rooster themed with 3 heads: one as a goat and one as a Lion. Those are the extra heads you’re seeing in his Maine.
Honestly it’s still fascinating how they design characters like him and Lucifer imo anyway hope that helped 😂✨
A detail you missed that might interest you: when Blitzø was thrown in the dumpster, one of the posters behind him was of Angel Dust.
me thinking this show was just going to make me laugh and then i’m sobbing every time
Yknow, after watching all of s2, Millie is so darn lucky Ozzie didnt kill her for attacking his Fizzy Frog
Ozzy is a rooster, and those were feathers, man. And the extra heads are based on his Bensfield illustration from the Lesser Key of Solomon.
"You could just hyper-analyze" Oh we have. Trust me, we have. 😅
[ no story spoilers just which episodes to expect to hear about there back stories. Read if you feel like it]
Season 2 ep 1 talks more about just stolas and ep 6 talks more on blitzo past that's all that will say. Other then your going to love/ hate there circumstances that made them
I love helluva friday, also sounds like you had fun going to meet some of the voice actors so glad you (hopefully) enjoyed it. For the price thingy I got no advice, at the end of the day it really depends on it you can afford it and if it's personally worth it to you
You are very spot on with all of the character analysis! Cant wait to see your other reactions to the next episodes
FIzzie is my all-time fav char in a show I love him so much :3 His backstory is great
The fact that sweet man who voiced val was harassed for his voice acting. I can't believe some people are still scared of him
I loved your reaction so much you really understood Blitzø and described him in a perfect way
Definitely my favorite helluva boss episode. Watched it multiple times
My theory for why the ring stations look so angelic is because they were created by Heaven to seperate the demons in Hell and create factions with rings in hopes that it would cause them to have conflicts with each other and leave Heaven alone. It would make each ring want to feel superior to the last and compete.
Asking about Fizz’s robotic parts leads to spoilers!! You’ll find out later on! This episode will bring out the spoilers so be very careful what you read in them!!
Loved your reaction btw! Makes me want to watch it again!
Asmodeus has more of a rooster/peacock theme going on, and apparently he’s royalty in the Ars Goetia as well as one of the seven deadly sins.
I really liked when blitz is driving away from Ozzie’s from stolas says good bye blitz and not him saying blitzy I think it’s the first time we hear stolas say it normal
this is the episode that marks the series transition to a full on soap opera
I think in some ways the first season of HB is similar to the first season of Harbin. Hazbin definitely was more story centric while HB was more episodic initially in the first season. But looking back on HB season 1, it's pretty clear that most of the episodes were used to establish elements that were expanded on in season 2. Hopefully Hazbin does the same next season.
Have you thought about watching Good Omens? It’s right up your alley and it has David Tennant in it. You would really enjoy it.
I need to finish it! I watched the first 3 episodes forever ago and got distracted and haven't finished it!
Dude it’s so cool that you got to meet the cast of hazbin! Hopefully you are able to see the Helluva crew at the other con
Congratulations on meeting two of the best characters in the show
aaaaa i cant WAIT for season 2. it just hurts more and more from here :’)
ep8 of season 1 was delayed for legal reasons but its more of a bonus & fun way to wrap up the season before the next!
also i just have to say you’re pretty spot on about the details! there are multiple photos of him with others on his wall and yes he’s scratched out in ALL of them
Says a lot about how he views his self worth. Great characterisation.
Oh my god I swear you are the BEST reactor I’ve EVER seen! Im always absolutely terrified to see people react to this episode because so many people just rip on Blitz and don’t have the slightest understanding of his character, but you see him perfectly and it makes me so damn happy!
dudeeee you're so lucky to have met them live - so dope 🥲
and this episode really made me realize that Valentino really copies Ozzie's style man😂 I guess it makes sense but man he really wants to be him so bad (I mean he even got himself a Fizz replica lol)
very emotional 2 episodes (this one and next) it's just depressing because I feel like many of us can relate to Blitz in more or less ways..
This is where the plot really gets going, and I love that there are things in this episode you picked up that will be important later. I'm so excited to see you keep going.
Fun fact fizz is voiced by Alex Brightman, who voiced Sir Pentious and Adam.
Ozzie is I believe like a bird themed demon see his feather, I think he’s a rooster which fits
If Ozzie ever met Valentino he would bury Valentino into the dirt in pure rage. One thing that need to be understood here is that Lust is not 100% evil it is interpreted and seen as evil but not rightfully so. If 2 individual both lust after eachother in equal consent it's not evil it is love, if one wishes to be bottom and then get treated as one then they get there desire fulfilled its a form of love. Lust becomes evil when what is more interpered as non-conesual love making happens or when one desire goes to far and enter a more destructive behavior. This is also why lust is the weakest of all the sins in the show.
"Actual" Asmodeus killed for love rather than lust, so it's fun seeing how he is depicted in Helluva Boss
Fun Fact: Asmodeous is voiced by James Monroe Iglehart... who also voiced the Overlord Zestial in Hazbin Hotel (As well as Vortex, the Hellhound who Loona had a crush on).
The little 2 shadow faces on the sides of Ozzie's real head are a nod to Asmodeous real life depictions where he is shown to have 3 heads... one human, one Goat and one Bull.
Yes, the Fizzarolli shown in this episode is the original, and like you saw in Blitz's pictures he was born as a normal Imp... but now he seems to have robotic augmentations which would make him a cyborg.
You also saw the Elevator that Hellborn demons use to travel between the 7 rings of Hell.... given it's clearly angelic design it is almost certain that Lucifer is the one who created it.
The Rings of Hell are layered like this:
1.- Pride (Red)
2.- Wrath (Orange)
3.- Gluttony (Yellow)
4.- Greed (Green)
5.- Lust (Dark Blue)
6.- Envy (Purple)
7.- Sloth (Pink)
Blitz always spies on Millie and Moxxie because he wants to feel a little bit of the warmth and love they have for each other... even if it is from afar. He doesn't view himself as worthy of love therefore he is afraid of being close with others.
This also ties with the last scene of the episode where we see that Blitz has scratched himself out of all the pictures... which is clearly a sign that he hates himself.
This Fiz is the original Fiz. The others are robots/sex toys. This Fox does have robotic arms and legs and will be explained later, but right now it would be a spoiler to explain further.
Fizz has robotic arms and legs which is covered in season 2
So technically this episode is part one of the finale and episode eight is part two of the finale. Episode eight was supposed to be realsed after this one but was delayed due to copyright issues with a certain guest voice actor in the episode. Episode eight is supposed to be watched directly after this one, so I would recommend reacting to episode eight next before moving onto season two. Love the reactions :D keep up the good work!
I started watching after the whole issue so I watched them consecutively
So basically Fizz is an imp with robotic arms and legs as he got damaged (story of that will be explained later), Ozzie is kinda a roster demon kind and yes, Blizo is having fear of loving anyone cuz he is too afraid to lose important ppl in his life so he keeps distance
Love how invested you get with the show and can't wait to see you find out more about the backstories in season 2 :)
You might have to be careful with some comments (haven't seen any specifically here) but people tend to spoil the juicy backstory bits to questions you had.
Hopefully you can avoid those.
The "skulls" in Asmodeus's plummage are actually a neat reimagining of his original description, wherein he has three heads, each of a different animal.
Though I'm not sure where the rooster imagery comes from, since traditionally he is more or less a mismatch of different animal and human parts.
The creator is said he is a rooster, he's even called one in a later episode.
@@TyphonJRT I know. What I mean is I'm not sure where the decision to make him a rooster came from.
Ozzie is voice by the original genie from the Aladdin Broadway 😊😊😊
One of the interesting yet frustrating things about the Vivzie-verse is how many details of it go unexplained in the shows and can only be found out by going online. On the one hand it's a good strategy to encourage engagement with the community, but it still leaves people confused.
Ozzie's design comes from a rather complicated description of Asmodeus where he has 3 different animal heads. Not everyone loves his look, but then again everybody likes to post their own redesigns of Vivzie's characters so that's nothing new.
I think this is the ep where we first see what the show is really about and how messed up Blitz actually is. He only feels comfortable when those he loves can't escspe. He kind of holds his employees hostage and jokingly smothers and harrases them. He doesn't trust any arrangement that isn't transactional.
Eppisode 8 was supposed to be the original end of season, but got delayed due to having to work out legal complications regarding Kesha voicing Beelzebub. Ultimately she ended up voicing the spoken parts only, and they brought in someone else (a sound alike) to sing the Beelzebub's song.
The reason why Blizo’s hallucination was so sad and harsh is because he hates himself. He sad and scared about being alone and dying alone. Which I think that’s sad and sweet. Also why he scribbled his vase out of the pictures is because, he hates himself.😢😢❤❤😊😊
As others have said - yep, go to episode 8. It was delayed for reasons.
I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet but Ozzie is a rooster, and I'm not sure if it's confirmed or not but fans guessing he has some relations to Stolas (cuz both birds lol). Ozzie's skull like things on his feathers/fur are actually based on the original Asmodeus which has 3 heads , the sides being a goat and a bull. Fans are also guessing that Valentino "stole"/tries to resemble Ozzie's style because maybe he's looking up to him at some degree by Ozzie being the embodiment of lust.
That is the original Fizzarolli, you're right! He whirrs because his arms and legs are robotic prosthetics, but the rest of him is organic.
i feel Blitz pushes people away because he feels hes going to somehow screw up their life and and he sees how Millie and moxi have such a great relationship and he wants to have that so he uses them as a sort of study guide
27:20 it’s a common belief among fans that Valentino tries to steal Ozzie’s vibe/fashion out of envy. Ozzie has existed since hell was created
Ok so episode 8 was held up due to many legal reasons. The wait was literally 10 months after this episode came out. I don't want to say what the legal reasons are because they are a super surprise. So please watch episode 8 after this episode it's in chronological order. Love your stuff 👍❣️
Never mind
Everyone of us was waiting for this one
Yeah don't worry about oz being like val he'd HATE val
