The Helluva Boss view count table, post Season 2 finale!

It's been quite the ride keeping this updated for you all, although you all probably aren't going to see it again until season 3 starts, as I'm not sure if I want to post this table for every upcoming short.

The top three performing episodes in season 1:

The Harvest Moon Festival with 11,658,760 views.

Spring Broken with 10,450,616 views.

Truth Seekers with 10,441,255 views.

The top three performing episodes in season 2:

The Circus with 13,126,955 views.

2. MAMMON’S MAGNIFICENT MUSICAL MID-SEASON SPECIAL (ft Fizzarolli) with 10,855,337 views.

3. Exes and Oohs with 10,630,600 views.

The top three performing episodes in both seasons:

In first place we have THE CIRCUS WITH 13,126,955 VIEWS! With the episode continuing to hold an iron grip on that top spot, will the first episode of season 3 be able to rival it? Place your bets now!

In second place, we have The Harvest Moon Festival featuring the debut of Striker! With it also holding a solid grip onto second place in the rankings.

In third place, we have MAMMON’S MAGNIFICENT MUSICAL MID-SEASON SPECIAL (ft Fizzarolli) coming in at 10,855,337 views! Featuring the debut of our idiot of a sin and a villain, Mammon! Also featuring bangers like Two Minutes Notice and more!

The bottom three performing episodes in both seasons:

Ghostfuckers with 7,056,678 views. Even this one caught me off guard, was expecting it to be a bit on the lower side due to the absence of other major fan-favorite characters like Stolas and Fizzarolli, but it being the worst performing episode still caught me by surprise tbh.

2. Murder Family with 7,248,356 views. Where everything started, the beginning of the show we know and love to this day.

3. C.H.E.R.U.B with 7,455,897 views. Yea I'm not really surprised that this one is here, most people think it's a rather weak episode or one of the worst of the show, so I can understand why it's the third worst performing in around it's first week.

Finally, the shorts:

MISSION: WEEABOO-BOO with 5,975,830 views.

Hell's Belles with 4,721,921 views.

MISSION: ANTARCTICA with 4,265,974 views.

4. MISSION: CHUPACABRAS with 4,038,466 views.

No average for the four shorts at the moment as I feel like there isn't enough of the shorts yet to make a fair average view count of them.

But hey, if you're reading this part, you're cool as fuck, and I hope you have a great day!

I'm Done. Helluva Boss has officially lost me.

I finally tried to watch Apology Tour this evening. I made it to 9m58s and I just could NOT go any further in the episode. I very honestly had to close the browser because I was cringing so hard. So I have no idea what happened past Verosika cutting the Blitz cake, other than what I've seen online from y'all.

And that's saying something, considering I managed to make it through the painful, cringe-worthy Stolas/Blitz confrontation at the end of "Full Moon".

Please feel free to let me know if any future episodes are truly worth watching, but I just keep getting the absolute "Ick" from Viv and Co. regarding most of the HB/HH content in 2024.

It's odd and weirdly humbling to be in a position where I used to defend these shows and the writers (to an extent), but I just can't anymore. I'm done. The narrative in HH and especially HB is so painful for me to watch, now. You may disagree, which is absolutely, positively fine!

Power to you if you enjoy it, but I don't, anymore.

My genuine facial expression for the entire first ten minutes of "Apology Tour" that I could manage to stomach was LITERALLY this:

I'm done.

I still enjoy HB's first few S1 episodes before HB bought in so heavily into becoming the "Stolitz" show (I'm fully aware Stolas was featured from the start, but he was very villain-coded in the beginning, and I loved it, and its past potential storyline implications).

And I will admit that I find the original Fizz/Oz content from "Ozzie's" and pieces of S2 E6&7 to be enjoyable. I'm still an absolute sucker for Fizzarolli - sue me.

But let me be clear, Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel were never - in my eyes - well-done, artistic, or particularly poignant. They were fun, but that was the end of it. They weren't/aren't well-written.

They're not "important", which is fine. Content doesn't have to be important, impactful, or "well done" in order for people to enjoy it.

They were fun, and fun only. But now, they are trying to be "good", and they (HB, esp.) are not that. Because, frankly, Viv truly isn't capable of writing that way. Which - again - is fine!! Not everything has to be cinematically excellent and objectively "good" in order to be enjoyable to the audience.

We can enjoy content without it having to be important.

But please stop trying to make your fun IMP plotline into a melodrama that you, yourself, are not mature enough to write WELL, Vivienne. Stop playing HB as suddenly "important" with storylines that are complex and inward-focused when you have failed to set them up as such from the start.

Ret-conning is not good writing, and you're relying on it far too much. Particularly with your dear, sweet Stolas.

And frankly, I'm tired.

We should have a "Viv Sucks" party every Halloween, instead.

When i write this pls delete my tumblr if those fans are coming at my head//j

Srsly but i need someone to talk about this. My only concern and complain about the Helluva Boss finale is at episode 11 and 12. For Episode 11 i was shocked and did'nt actually thought stolas would be there in the episode. My mind was like: "Dude, are'nt you and Blitz are still not on good terms from Apology tour and you come to the trial as if you care for him??" That is the moment i knew something is wrong with the shows writing. It just does'nt make sense for Stolas immediately want to save Blitz there when the other episode before they are still not good with each other. It's so rushed for me to the point i feel weird watching the ending and hard to have sympathy with the story now.

With episode 12, I hate how everyone overlook Octavia as "not appreciating Stolas who 'try' to be a good father" Reminder to you that she's a teenager. She never understood whats going on around her. Seeing your parents fight and find out one of them was the problem of course you would turn against them as well. Its just frustrating for me.

Also Pilot Stolas could have been something we can get ALL ALONG. I JUST HAVE THIS FEELING THAT PILOT STOLAS COULD BE MORE LIKEABLE THAN SHOW STOLAS.

I will never bored myself to say this but i will sell my soul to litteraly anyone who is willing to re write this 2 show. Litteraly. They. Could've done. Better. Thats all from me.

Anyone that comes after you for being critical of Helluva Boss is an idiot. Period. And they’re not worth deleting your tumblr for, hon. Don’t sweat it. I’ll gather you under my wings like a mother bird and shelter you from their obnoxious tantrum-ing.

But I see what you’re saying, and yeah the writing is atrocious. Personally I started getting irritated by the time of (S1:E6) Truth Seekers and (S1:E7) Ozzie’s bc of the back-to-back hits on Blitzø (which was subtle foreshadowing for the real horrors to come and sweet summer child me had no idea 😣) and then (S2:E1) The Circus began the true spiral into total disillusion when they had the audacity to use SA as a tool for sympathizing with Stolas.

I’m done watching the show as of the Season 2 finale because I’m not a fujoshi girl by any means, and that’s the only reason I can think of anyone sincerely enjoying that crap — but then I know others may have a higher tolerance for bullshit than myself.

If Viv knew better, she would’ve done minimal to no writing for the show and allowed Brandon Rogers to be the head writer. We would’ve gotten pilot!Stolas then, my dear.

RIP Creepy Bird Mouth 😔

Helluva Boss Theories

Caught up with Helluva Boss and now idk what to do with myself so have some theories!

(Not including my next episode/Asmodean crystal theories cause I already discussed that here)

There are so many plates spinning at this point in the story so here are my current theories/hopes/ideas in where each thread is heading:

Stella (and her brother)

Stella is a simple woman with simple goals - to kill her husband and take all his money (not necessarily in that order).

But as established in S2 E4, if Stella kills Stolas all his money and possessions will pass to Via, leaving Stella with nothing. Of course he also won't give her anything willingly on account of how she, you know, tried to kill him.

This leaves two obvious avenues that I can think of that Stella is likely to take in pursuit of Stolas' fortune:

1. Blackmail - It's only a matter of time before Stolas' deal with Blitzo is going to come back and bite him in the ass. It's pretty much an open secret that he's been loaning out his Grimoire so that Blitzo can illegally access the human world and at some point someone is bound to leverage that fact to their advantage.

As soon as Stella realises (or more likely, her brother points out to her) that this is prime blackmail material, I think she'll jump at the chance to squeeze as much money out of Stolas' as possible.

2. Ransom - I think this is much less likely because it's too similar to previous storylines and is likely to feel repetitive, but Stella could also potentially hire Striker to kidnap Blitzo and demand a ransom in exchange for his safety.

Mammon

Given that S2 E7 ends with Mammon warning Asmodeus that he'll regret crossing him, I imagine that Mammon has a plan of his own that will emerge in future episodes.

I don't know how likely this actually is given it would be pretty large scale and would likely impact the plot of Hazbin Hotel too, but I would love it if this leads to a civil war across Hell.

Mammon is all about money and he'll be losing a lot of it now his top money-maker has publicly decried him (and I doubt Asmodeus will continue production of the Fizzy fuckdolls either).

It could also be an opportunity to finally introduce Satan (Demon of Wrath) and Leviathan (Demon of Envy) as potential allies to Mammon (whose desire for vengeance is motivated in part by the sins they embody), leaving Beelzebub and Belphegor as potential allies to Asmodeus. Of course the other sins might also have beef with each other that we don't know about which could exacerbate the situation further.

Striker

Striker has been a major player in season 2 in particular, popping up over and over again as an antagonist to IMP due Blitzo's connections to Stolas and Fizz respectively.

While he's ostensibly killing for money, he clearly has a more personal agenda stemming from his hatred of the upper class.

At the moment it's hard to know how exactly his plan will come together but in the last episode we saw him approach Crimson with the intention of forming some kind of alliance, though the details weren't specified.

I think this must be the first step in Striker's long term plan to bring down the monarchy and topple the hierarchy of Hell, though how this will play out is unclear.

I don't see the show killing off Stolas but I can imagine Striker's next appearance being in conjunction with the assassination of another royal character like Stella or her brother or even one of the Sins like Mammon or Bea.

I can also picture him trying his hand at kidnapping again in order to lure in a royal target - maybe kidnapping Blitzo or Via to draw in Stolas.

D.H.O.R.K.S

Thanks to IMP's consistent failure to keep a low profile, they've drawn the attention of D.H.O.R.K.S, an organization on Earth that appears to investigate paranormal activities, and as of S1 E6 we know they have video evidence.

I don't see them finding a way to hell without dying but I suspect they'll continue to cause problems during IMP's visits to the surface. They might even find a way to bind or command a demon.

That said, rather than the D.H.O.R.K.S themselves posing a serious threat, I think major consequences for IMP and/or Stolas are more likely to arise from the D.H.O.R.K.S drawing the attention of Higher-Ups in Hell.

What do y'all think?

I'd love to hear alternative theories on where all these storylines are leading!

Do you think all the different threads will end up intersecting?

If so, how do you think they'll tie it all together?

[atoledefresa-delulusversion]

Time to fangirl about Helluva Boss: S1 E6

I'm sick so my levels of hyperfixation are very low. Anyways-

This is another of my favorite chapters. This is the moment where the animation and camara rotation of last chapters come together.

First we have the D.H.O.R.K.S. Apparently, they're a secret organization obssesed with proving the existence of demons and have been gathering evidence of IMP killing people around the human world. How do they got first shots of those moments? The magic of the plot, I guess. Once they're discovered and Biltz sees they're cornered, he tells Loona to close the portal and she obeys because he didn't swear or joke, which means he's being serious. Makes me wonder on how many ocassions has he been serious that she learned to recognize it (or maybe they have talked about it in case they were spotted. I personally don't think so but it can be a posibility).

[Also, I read my other post and catch many spelling mistakes and I'm sorry. I translate everything in my mind and have long nails and sometimes I think a clicked a letter and I didn't. Moving on-]

This episode gave us Millie and Loona teaming up. It's obvious at first that Loona is inexperienced, since Millie is the one giving orders, but they're both lethal. And we get an idea of M&M ages when Millie says that she's only 5 years older than Loona. So, guessing that Loona must be 18-19, Millie (and Moxxie) must be between 23-25. And Blitz looks older, so my guess is that he is close to 30 or 30-something. I'm talking about what the series gives us.

And talking about Loona-

Look how FLEXIBLE she is. This and the fact that she's not bothered at killing makes me wonder what was she doing before getting adopted? I mean- yeah, she's from Hell and everything, but even Moxxie had his doubts at the beginning.

This episode also gave us Moxxie being this little annoying bitch. We already know Blitz has the hability to turn everything into a sexual joke. But Moxxie?! Strategic or not, he DOES looks like the type of customer to order some complicated coffee. But I love their dynamic. Blitz made it uncomfortable and Moxxie join him to give Millie enough time to rescue them. They share one braincell. They really are the "dumbass twins".

We also get deep into Blitz and Moxxie's relationship, thanks to the thruth bomb.

To me, when Blitz kind-of reprimends Moxxie for being so dependant on Millie sounds like he's kinda jealous because, (like he said in the end), Moxxie is very capable of doing things on his own, why does he wants to spend SO MUCH time with Millie? Like, they're already married and they see each other all day, why be so "obssesed" with her? What has she that makes him want to spend all his time in her instead of hanging a little with Blitz (since they were the original duo)? And Moxxie is surprised, like, "That was personal, is that how you think of me?".

And then they go on and on insulting each other. I don't know why Moxxie would choose to insult Blitz's suit, like, don't talk about his appearance, talk about his personality. Unless he didn't really felt hurt about what he said about his wife and combat his inmature jealousy with an inmature insult.

We DO know that Moxxie gave Blitz a musical recommendation (we don't know if Blitz ask him or if it was more like a sugestion) and that Blitz lied and said that he like it when he didn't. We get a little glimps of them trying to BOND. At the beginning of the series, we know they were friends (why? We don't know), with a friendship based on bullying Moxxie, but now we KNOW that they were trying to get along. That Moxxie was trying to share his interest with Blitz, and Blitz lied to have a share interest with Moxxie (doesn't make it less bad, but it's a start. Besides, this resolves at the end of the chapter).

Now, let's talk about Moxxie's allucination:

Beautifully animated. A literal gem. I think you can see the sketches but I don't know how many people really work on this, how many time did they had and in what conditions. But I'm gonna praise it anyway.

First we have Moxxie asking Phanton!Blitz if it's okey with him that Moxxie starts speaking with honesty. Very considerate and in character for him (always ask your friends if they're ready to hear the thruth if they want it), but given his relationship with Blitz, I think asking is a very submisive move. That's how he sees his friendship with Blitz. I'm not even sure if he considers it a friendship at all. He DOES considers Blitz a friend, but (in his point of view) does Blitz?

Now that he has the confirmation, he starts with a very well deserved "fuck you". And tells Phanton!Blitz that if he (Moxxie) is being bothered by his own version of Blitz, then he (Blitz) must be really suffering with his own version of Moxxie, since he always points out how annoying he finds him. And he's kinda right-

Blitz IS being tortured. In his own allucination, he's dressed as a clown, and given that he wasn't a good clown, this has a humilitating purpose.

The first character that appears in Blitz's allucination is a bad drawn Moxxie speaking in a exaggerated formal way (this goes beyond my level of english, but you get it). As he keeps talking, he changes between the drawing and his original self. This is obviously a simbolism, but I don't know what is trying to tell. Maybe sometimes Blitz sees him as a cartoon when he speaks so formally and sometimes as a normal imp when he DOES understand what he's saying.

Then we go back to Moxxie. As he's climbing his way to Phanton!Blitz, he asks him why does he says so hurtful things to him? Why is he being a bad friend? Why does he push people away? And Phanton!Blitz responds that he pushes people away before they get the chance to abandon him. Let's remember this is MOXXIE'S allucination. This is Moxxie's version of Blitz. This means Moxxie KNOWS why Blitz is how he is and why he is mean with him (and maybe that's why he [Moxxie] allowed it). But as he said, it's a toxic behavior, and he can't keep allowing Blitz to minimize him. Tha's why he started at the bottom of the stairs and kept climbing until he reached an equal level with Bliltz, because he wants to be his equal. And that's the thing: he still wants to be friends with Blitz. He's willing to put effort into changing their relationshop for the better, instead of leaving him; something that Blitz is afraid of.

Meanwhile, Al!Moxxie is telling Blitz that he's life's a mess, that he needs the presence of other people around him to make him seen like he knows what he's doing. That he's not that bad to be around. And Blitz gets defensive. He tells him that he could easily manage all of IMP by himself. That he is SO GOOD at his job that he doesn't need anyone. And he could. He's very good at killing and everything. But he doesn't want to do it alone. He doesn't want to BE alone. And apparently, he already tried going solo and it didn't work (maybe at being a clown) and it made him think that he needed a team, but he couldn't help but trying to push them away and now he's regretting something that he can't change (it's his defensive mechanism. He can't allow himself to be hurt again). And now that they talk about intimacy-

Appears Stolas. Given their situationship, it makes me think that, yes, someone can crave to have an intimate relationship with their friends, be each others confidents and everything; but with Blitz specifically, he craves being loved ROMANTICALLY, thats why they show us Stolas. And is Stolas himself who tells him he's afraid of loving someone. He's afraid of letting anyone in. And whats interesting about this two is their respectively point of view of their relationship. In this chapter we see that Blitz sees Stolas as someone above him (which he is, because he is a royal) the same way Moxxie saw Blitz above him: as someone who holds power, authority. Moxxie already figured out his role. But Blitz doesn't want to lose his job by calling off his transaction with Stolas. Blitz sees himself as an inferior being because all his life that's what the system told him. And sometimes even Stolas reinforces it. Stolas is one of the only constants in his life and the closest thing to "love" Blitz can get, so I'm not surprised he starts having feelings.

And, as annoying as he finds it, Moxxie is probably the only voice of reason Blitz would be willing to listen. So he's the one saying in the background that even Blit'z conscious knows that he's so afraid of intimacy, doesn't matter how much he craves it, he will never allow himself to be so vulnerable around anyone. And just when the thruth starts to hurt, just when Blitz tells them to shut up, when he starts to push them away-

They dissappear.

Both Moxxie and Blitz are afraid of people leaving them. But both would handle things differently: Moxxie would learn from that, accept his failures and change; while Blitz would bottle it up, regret it and torture himself because changing and thrusting is. So. Hard.

Then the allucination stops. Moxxie tells Blitz something that made an impact in him that he still remembers: he tells him that he complimented him when Moxxie most needed it instead of being judgemental and mean. It made Moxxie realize that Blitz can empathize sometimes. And Blitz tells Moxxie that he needs to be more secure about himself and not let anyone (even his friends) get to his mind.

Then we finally see this two teaming up, working together SO WELL.

And when the cost was clear, Blitz went to Loona, to make sure she was okey, which-

She's good. I liked that she uses her mouth too. He confirmed that she knew how to handle herself and went to check on Millie, since she did most of the killing before and she's probably tired-

Once Blitz has checked that all his teamates are good, he starts handling things on his own. Until they're cornered (and I like that Blitz make himself "big" to try to protect Loona and M&M):

Also- Stolas' true form reveal?! (And his song being played by thrumpets then going back to a piano. I love my boy).

At first, Blitz is confused. He did a face that make me think he had a little idea of what was happening but it wans't until Stolas appear that he realize the Stolas' full power capacity. He's worried that Stolas might be mad that they were catch but then Stolas baby talks to him and that sems to bothered Blitz. Stolas is reinforcing Blitz feeling of inferiority by showing his worry instead of reprimend him. To Blitz, this is a sign that they're nowhere near to be equal demon beings. But he's grateful nonetheless and he will give Stolas the reward he deserves.

And it leaves us in a cliffhanger of what will happen in the human world now that the D.H.O.R.K.S. have the evidence they needed.

Anyway, I feel like I let many things out but this is all my little brain can handle for now. I'll be reading your takes on thus chapter very happily (and very sick).

i like to think that alastor at his full power would be equally or even more scary than the terrifying sequence of stolas using his powers in the "truth seekers" episode to help blitzø

This episode was amazing and all but now I have to deal with the fact that I'm about to start simping for a bird demon. Who do I call for that?

Helluva Boss episode was so great, so powerful, I don't know what to say about the final scene, I wonder if they could appear again? .

new episode just dropped-

[warblogs17282]

So, I've been talking with @akirathedramaqueen a bit and something that came up is that some of the antis/'critics' actually somehow think that Blitz's feelings for Stolas in s2 e8 and e9 came out of nowhere. (This version of the post with images will be posted in a reblog because IT'S GETTING SMITED OFF THE TAGS AGAIN!)

So I just want to articulate my thoughts on why I think that the people saying things like that are just wrong.

So, we've all heard of the phrase "show, not tell" right? We know that helluva boss does this quite a lot.

Let's start at s1 e5, just look at Blitz blush, listen to Blitz fumble up his words so much trying to explain that it's a quote "It's a transactional fucking, you see.". This combined with Moxxie and Millie reacting the way they do while Blitz is fumbling up his words trying to explain his relationship with Stolas to Striker, points to our first hint that the relationship is a bit more than 'transactional fucking.'.

Also, this implies that when Blitz goes to stop Striker from killing Stolas, it meant more to Blitz than just Striker 'killing Blitz's easiest lengthy ticket to Earth', it tells us that Blitz cared for Stolas' well-being.

Now, lets look at s1 e7, we see a picture of Stolas sleeping that Blitz took at some point. This further shows us that Blitz has always cared for Stolas.

Another thing that shows us that Blitz cares for Stolas is the ending of s1 e8. 'I dunno, jus- ...lonely... Die alone...' '*mumbling* Millie... Moxxie... Stolas...' The fact that Blitz says Stolas' name here just really tells us that Blitz cares for Stolas as well.

s2 e4, the infamous "He can get hurt?" line. The sheer shock, worry and concern for Stolas Blitz has in this scene also further points to the fact that Blitz cares for Stolas.

And hell, even s2 e6 points to Blitz caring about Stolas, which we can clearly see by the fact that Blitz's face drops when he says 'It's a novelty to him.', because as apology tour proves with this line 'Oh, sorry, this entire time I assumed the worst because I was convinced a prince could never love someone like me and I've let my self hatred stop me from apologizing to anyone I could ever care about!', Blitz's self hatred stopped him from properly considering the possibility that Stolas might care for him back, which is exactly why Blitz sighs and his face drops into this sort of sad look when he says that it's a novelty to Stolas. Blitz doesn't want it to be 'nothing else'.

It's really a 'I believe your subconscious is trying to tell you that you simply cannot fathom proper intimacy, but… also crave it as well.' type deal we're dealing with here. Blitz craves that intimacy, but cannot fathom receiving it, so that's why Blitz's face drops here. Which in my eyes, really convinces me that Blitz has had feelings for Stolas before s2 e8 and e9.

In conclusion: I believe that people pushing the argument that 'Blitz's feelings for Stolas came out of nowhere in s2 e8 and e9' are wrong.

Hi Helluva Boss fandom, I decided after watching the show for the fifth time to study Demonology. And let me tell you how accurate the show is!

I'm gonna go over Stolas and Asmodeus because they're real demons.

Stoals -> In demonology, Stolas is a Great Prince of Hell who commands over 26 legions of demons. He is depicted as crowned owl with long legs / a raven / a man.

Here's Stolas from the show compared to a drawing of Demon Stolas:

Pretty similar don't you think?

Now let's go over Demon Stolas's personality:

He teaches astronomy, history, herbs (especially poisonous plants) and precious stones. He's a pacifist who finds war pointless and would rather read a book or gain knowledge.

Here's little hints of his teachings in the show:

• Carnivous plants

• Stars and Constellations here and there

And lastly, his sigil. For those of you who don't know what a sigil is, in Demonology it's the symbol "describing" the Demon/Spirit. It's also meant to summon them.

Here's a picture of Demon Stolas's sigil, and next to it is a screenshot of S1 E6 when Stolas possesses one of the D.O.R.K.S member:

Same sigil

Asmodeus -> In demonology, Asmodeus is the demon of Lust, the Third of the Seven Deadly Sins. He appears with three heads, The First is like a bull, The Second like a man and The Third like a Ram. Tail like a snake and flames escapes his mouth.

Let's look at the Demon Asmodeus and Asmodeus from Helluva Boss:

Once again, they are very similar. The description fits both the Demon and the fictional demon.

For Amsodeus's personality, he is described as one of the most vile Demons of Hell. He's responsible for twisting one's sexual desires and for breaking happy married couple appart.

Is it just me or does this remind you of his song in S1 E6 ?

Lastly, Asmodeus's sigil.

Ladies and gays, that's the same sigil.

It's really nice seeing how hard the creator put effort into the show to make it as real as possible!

MY LIVE REACTION TO HELLUVA BOSS S2:EP1 (TOLD IN TWEETS) - Part I

Like I did for S1:E6, I live tweeted my reaction as I watched. There was a lot to react to this time, so this time the post is split into four parts.

Spoiler Alert Incoming!

‼️SPOILER ALERT FOR HELLUVA BOSS S2 E3 EXES AND OOHS‼️

I know this post is pretty late considering that the episode came out last Saturday and I apologize for that, but I still wanted to just make a nice quick and easy recap giving my overall thoughts.

But in short, omg this episode was fantastic! The entire time I felt like I was on a crazy roller coaster ride of emotions. I went from laughing, to crying, to laughing again, to being on the edge of my seat, and so much more. The deep emotional moments hit so hard for me. And it feels like the animation keeps getting better and better with every new episode. The fight scene near the end where Millie went off on a full-blown killing spree was the top tier highlight of the entire show's animation for me, even topping the fight scene from S1 E6 Truth Seekers imo, and that's saying a lot. What I also loved about that scene was that it shows just how powerful and a badass Millie can become when you anger her enough. You do not wanna be messing with her! >:) She is so protective of her husband, and you do not dare touch him or she will unleash her full fury out on you. And that scene really drove the point of the whole episode home that Millie and Moxxie's relationship is just so healthy and strong and not a force to be reckoned with. Not a single thing in Hell can tear them apart from each other.

And don't even get me started on this episode touching on Moxxie's backstory! When I said I was crying at one point in this I was not joking. I already had a feeling that his dad Crimson was not somebody to be trusted before this episode came out, but holy shit, I was not at all prepared to see just how evil and vile this character truly is. He is not only homophobic, sexist, and abusive to his own child, but the fact that he had the gall to straight up murder his own wife??!! Yeah... he's officially at the top of my list for worst Helluva Boss character now. Geez and I thought Stella was horrible, but Crimson has got even Stella beat at this point. And poor Moxxie did not deserve having to grow up in such a hostile environment and go through all that trauma. By the looks of the very end of the episode it seems like this won't be the last time we'll be seeing Crimson. This seems to be a set up for him to be a returning villain and I am all here for it.

As much as I didn't like Chaz because of him being an f-boy who sleeps around and just a really cringy character overall, I have to give credit where it's due and say that he was written very well and I do love his design and voice actor. Though I'm gonna be completely honest, part of me was kinda relieved that he got killed off at the end lol I just did not enjoy watching this selfish arrogant horny dude who was all talk and no show try to interfere with M&M's precious marriage.

Oh yeah and one other thing, why is nobody else talking about how Moxxie is such perfect bisexual representation? 💗💜💙 Being bi myself I just couldn't help but feel so seen the moment he confirmed it. Loona has always been my favorite character since the very beginning, but after this episode, I think Moxxie might just be a close second (and also because he's voiced by my all-time favorite voice actor Richard Horvitz).

Now the only thing that disappointed me about this episode was that Loona was barely in it at all. I was really hoping for more Loona moments, I missed seeing my baby wolf girl so much! 😢

So to sum this all up, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. It was definitely worth the long wait. This show has not yet once failed to impress me. I hope it continues to head in the right direction and I cannot wait for the next episode! ❤️🖤🤍😈

Background Details in Helluva Boss S1 E6 - Truth Seekers

Moxxie's Fractured Skull

Not sure whether or not this is even purposeful but when Moxxie and Blitzo are electrocuted at the beginning of the episode you can see a small fracture in Moxxie's skull just above his eye.

There's no visible injury there in Moxxie's normal design but the fracture could be a reference to the childhood abuse he suffered at his father's hands, as shown in flashback in S2 E3 when Crimson smacks Moxxie's head against a concrete block.

If that was the intention it works well on a metaphorical level as a representation of the hidden trauma that Moxxie's holding inside. Or it could be an animation error.

The Hallucinations

I'm gonna keep this section fairly brief for now as I'm considering doing a full analysis of the hallucinations in a separate post some other time. But I did want to just draw attention to the fact that Blitzo's forehead tattoo, the heart on Fizz's hat and the beauty mark on Verosika's cheek are all replaced with a broken heart symbol in Blitzo's hallucination - though interestingly Blitzo's turns back to normal when he reaches Stolas at the top of the stairs.

In Moxxie's hallucination Blitzo has the same broken heart symbol on his forehead but it didn't show up anywhere else that I noticed. The half-mask that Blitzo wears is also of course a reference to Phantom of the Opera (one of many that show up in various Moxxie scenes)

D.H.O.R.K.S Offices

There were several fun details in the background of the D.H.O.R.K.S building including signs stating "SPICY WIRES", "0 days since last incident" and "!ATTENTION! No Magicians Permitted"

The agent manning the security cameras has a post-it on his desk with a To-List containing "Call Mom?", "Divorce Wife" and "Join demonzarerealdating.cum"

And in addition to the "Truth Bomb" button on the interrogation room control panel there are buttons saying "Haha Gas" "Bitch Juice" and two buttons which appear to say "Duck" and "Soup".

Blitzo's Shit

Once again, Blitzo has a new phone case. This one says "Thot Patrol"

Also in case you missed it, Blitzo's comically large rocket shooter says "My Dick" on it and the missile it shoots is labelled "Pussy Destroyer".

Stolas

Before Stolas is physically summoned, he can be seen in the reflection of the TV, looming ominously behind the D.H.O.R.K.S agents.

Also something I personally didn't notice until this scene is that Stolas' name is written in the outer ring of his seal.

Also a cool non-visual detail in this scene is that the music playing is an ominous instrumental version of the song Stolas sings in S2 E1.

Blitzo's Horse Thing

And of course this post wouldn't be complete without an update on Blitzo's horse obsession.

The first demon sighting that the D.H.O.R.K.S have recorded shows Blitzo sneaking into a field of mortal horses.

Additionally, the label on Blitzo's Emergency Bag shows a picture of a horse shooting a gun. The bag also includes the I.M.P logo, Blitzo's classic poor spelling and what might be a demonic blood stain.

That's it for episode 6 but you can see all my other Helluva Boss background details posts here.
