Ngl I'm a bit confused as to why people think Vox beat Alastor back in the day and/or that their fight was what caused Alastor to go underground for seven years. I didn't get that vibe from their duel in Episode 2 at all.

Alastor seems to treat him as a mild amusement/annoyance more than anything (something supported by comments outside of the show), and this is the man with the most rancid streak of pettiness in the entire show besides Adam. If he'd lost against a rival then he would have taken that shit personally, but their whole dynamic hinges on Alastor not giving Vox the attention/respect he wants and Vox being obsessed in return.

I also think Vox would have brought up the fact that he beat the Radio Demon at the height of his power when he was slandering him if that was what happened, even if it was a dirty fight that, say, had the Vees ganging up on Alastor like some have suggested. That one line is ambiguous and that's probably on purpose, but I doubt Vox came out on top.

#when i heard that line it sounded to me like vox was the one that needed to skedaddle if anything #something supported by the fact that alastor hands his ass to him five minutes after going back on air #i get that people are suspicious of how strong alastor actually is especially with the deal and all #but if vox had really beaten him up you better believe that shit would have been broadcasted throughout hell #and even if he did or if all the vees jumped alastor i don't think they'd save the big mystery of why alastor vanished #on a trio of villains who are more financial/soft power threats more than anything #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel alastor #hazbin alastor #alastor #hazbin vox
