[@Sandro_de_Vega]

@@riccardomosena4162 Charlie is daughter of biblical source of evil. Technicalities have nothing to do with that. Even more. Nefilims are blasphemous too. So she being half angel half human is EVIL by itself. And then she fucking Vaggie only deepens sin of angel/human relationship.

[@TheNeilBlack]

@@riccardomosena4162 Racists generally follow the "one drop of blood" view, where if you aren't racially pure you're considered lesser. So if Lute is being racist then she wouldn't see Charlie as part angel, she'd just see Charlie as hellborn scum. But I think the scene is clearly referencing homophobia with Adam's "hot as fuck" line.

[@marioxmariox]

That is like saying murder is vile and blasphemous and being called a murderphobic. In the Christian/Calthic religion a gay relationships is not acceptable. Which is another plot hole considering Vaggie was an angel, though possible she wasn't gay until Charlie helped her and hell corrupted her. Could be the exterminations were required for the uprising, and Adam and the angels spent so much time in hell they all became corrupted.

If he has been keeping an eye on the hotel, he probably knows its residents.

[@Misto_deVito6009]

It's a tough situation since Heaven (Sera in particular) has no idea that Hell is afraid of Heaven WAY more than vice versa. Its like how humans would go out and kill wolves for a living, thinking they're dangerous, even though wolves irl are scared of people. Thing is, Adam probably even told her that demons were starting to gather around just so he could be allowed to do this and have fun.

[@Jirodyne]

It's 100% Clear Adam lied to Sera. That's for sure. But that's not the MAIN issue. It's the fact that she is an ANGEL, a Paragon of Good, a Being who can KILL Demons, and is unharmed by Demons as ONLY Angel Weapons can kill another angel. Something that even Angels didn't know about till the last episode. So even IF Demons invaded somehow, (Which is ALSO Impossible I might add! Demons CAN NOT CREATE PORTALS, and CAN NOT OPEN A PORTAL TO HEAVEN! (If they could, Lucifer would have made the portal for Charle, not having to wait for HEAVEN to activate and send a portal themselves!)), So even IF Demons invaded... They LITERALLY Could not touch or harm Angels in any way. They would immediately be wiped out and killed.... So why is she killing Sinners? That does NOTHING but breed rebellion. AND why do they leave the Hell Born alone, would the CREATURES OF HELL not be more Evil, and WORSE than "Sinners" Who are innocent souls born with the choice of Free Will? It makes no sense!

[@stevenminnett524]

​@@Jirodyne To be honest one thing I have noticed with Hazbin Hotel is that Charlie generally knows what everyone knows, but that Hell is full of secrets meaning what everyone knows is generally wrong. We know that Hell isn't planning to invade Heaven because they don't know how and would not pose much threat without knowing the secret about angelic weapons. So what don't we know. Where was Alastor for 7 years. What was so important that he was ordered to do for that period that noone knew where he was. Was the person holding his leash actually trying to raise an assault on heaven. Will the actual culmination of Hazbin Hotel be Charlie and friends protecting Heaven like she's trying to do for the hotel in the first season?

[@Jirodyne]

@@stevenminnett524 Question. How is that Relevant? Remember, Angels sent Adam to kill all Sins since the DAWN OF HUMANITY. For HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS. I don't think saying "Well, in the way way Waaay future, billions of years from now, there will exist a human that maybe wants to attack heaven, somehow, even tho there is no way to harm an angel or get to heaven. So let's kill JUST the sinners and no one else!" I doubt the conversation went that way. It was never even implied like that.

[@arturferrao7353]

@@Jirodyne "It makes no sense!" That's racism in a nutshell. Sera sees the demons as a treat because they are demons and not angels. It doesn't make sense in a practical way. It only make sense in a picky stupid way.

[@AshBreeX]

@@arturferrao7353I'd argue it's not a racial thing for Sera - at least, not primarily, though it certainly could be an element. You can see that in the way she vs others argue for the exterminations. Adam and Lute? Absolutely. Their whole argument, for which they have a whole dedicated song, is that sinners are fundamentally evil and therefore deserve the extermination - hell is forever. An argument that is fundamentally built on that racial line between angels and demons. Sera on the other hand? She never makes this argument. In fact, when Emily calls demons 'innocent souls' she doesn't even argue that point, even when she would have every right too - we know well that while demons are not fundamentally evil, they're not exactly innocent. They're in hell for a reason, even if they may deserve redemption. But no, Sera accepts Emily's premise that the demons are at least in spirit equivalent to angels - she argues instead that they were uprising, and she needs to protect Heaven because that's her responsibility. She does not argue that demons are *fundamentally* a threat to Heaven, she's arguing that demons have been *actively* a threat to heaven, as in, it's happened before. Is this true? Who knows at this point. It's highly likely that it could be false, but Sera certainly believes it to be true. Adam may have lied to her, perhaps, told her that they were uprising, to justify his proposition. Sera is a very particular type of character - a person ruled by fear who simultaneously refuses to accept that they are. (Similar characters in other media include General Ironwood from RWBY.) This fear combined with delusion leads them to make decisions built on paranoia and then convince themselves they were built on caution, act with fearful panic and call it logic. If Sera learned the demons were uprising from Adam, she may have believed at that point that angels were invincible - but then, if the demons were uprising (as she was led to believe) they why would they if they had not found a way to harm Heaven and its souls? And that line of thought, through fear, becomes 'they *must* have a way to hurt us', and in that case she convinces herself it would be foolish to ignore that potential threat. And so she agrees to Adam's exterminations. It's clear she hates the idea - she can't even speak of it to his face, calling it his 'yearly activities' as euphemism - but driven by fear and delusion, she is convinced that she had no choice. When an oppressor feels threatened, they do what they do best and oppress, even if that fear has no basis in reality. With thought and logic, her actions don't make sense - but that's because she didn't make logical decisions, but fearful ones, and imagination can make mountains out of molehills if you let it. And since Sera can't even admit her own fear, since she insists she's being sensible, she can't *help* but let it. Sorry for the ramble/rant, I just like this type of character very much, and they're so often misunderstood by audiences which makes me frustrated sometimes.

[@MajorMagna]

This episode really solidifies my belief that the only suffering in Hell (at least for Sinners) is caused BY Sinners. And that Hell in and of itself WAS supposed to be "rehab", but Lucifer wasn't given that message when he was "cast down".

Okay so the angels don't decide who goes to Heaven or Hell, it appears it just kind of happens, based on an unknown system. Presumably God's Will or smth. And Sera's comment about Emily Falling like Lucifer did isn't a threat, it's a warning; she's scared. She's telling her "please don't take this risk, I couldn't bear see you suffer like he did but I couldn't stop it either"

[@47ratsinahoodie]

I love Angel using the specifics of the contract against Valentino, and it also makes for a fantastic realization if you remember the events of RKtVS. Val was PISSED that Angel moved out and said it was worse than him quitting. Why? Because whether Angel is an employee or not, as long as he's in the studio, he can't say no to Val. It also adds context to Masquerade and Angel saying that bars in Hell are his escape. He tries to stay out of the studio as much as possible so that his work hours are the only time he has to deal with Val.

[@mystical_grace]

It honestly makes me wonder if the soul contracts works both ways; for example, if the contract states that Val will provide Angel with wealth, security, and a place to stay, and Angel finds a way to get those outside of Val's influence, does the contract become void? I know that they're supposedly unbreakable, but this seems more likely to get out of than, say, an open-ended verbal agreement that can be used to create more.

Someone may have said this, but in the "Welcome to Heaven" song, you can see Angel Dust's sister, Molly, dancing and posing in the groups.

[@ChaoticButterfly]

@@Ashurman666 Meh. Until the designs we've seen of his family members are contradicted as not actually them? I'm gonna continue to believe it. Especially since Molly's design is obviously more side character complex, not background character simple (like the other angels, in those scenes).

Especially considering you see the back of Arackniss in the final episode during the news broadcast. And yes, I know, “it’s just the back of a character who has his old design, and you can’t even see his face”, but you can also see the spider-design tie that is specific to his design, and it seems like it’d be a weird coincidence if they’ve used the designs of Angel’s siblings without it _actually_ being them. Not to mention, Vivziepop even has said that Molly would appear in the show but isn’t in Hell. Well, she’s not still alive, so that only really leaves Heaven, and it would be a really weird decision on their part to have Molly in heaven, plus a totally unrelated background character who just happens to have her old design.

Sera isn’t evil. In my opinion she’s a lot like Carmilla. Carmilla didn’t want to tell people that angels could be killed because she wanted to save her children from getting caught in a war. Sera is willing to do whatever it takes to protect the entirety of heaven, and Emily. Even if it means extermination. After all, heaven is still strict, there’s probably not a lot she can do to save her own people even as a higher up. She clearly does care, you can see based on the way she was acting and her expressions, but I think she won’t let herself care for the sake of Heaven

But the first game truly has some unique lore. *Spoilers!* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *Spoilers Again!* In the Devil Survivor Universe, it plays out with the same lore as we would find on earth today. Heaven good. Hell bad. Except it's revealed throughout the story that it follows the more traditional hell with Demon Lords, like Baal, Bellzabub, and so on and 'Satan' is just another Lord of Hell, tho the strongest. Then it's revealed in a twist, when Angels show up in the game to stop you, that Demons and Angels are the Exact Same Race. More than that "God" Is just a Demon. It's a VERY POWERFUL Demon, literally able to warp Reality, and was so powerful he created heaven, moved himself to heaven, and then trapped and locked the rest of Demon Kind in Hell and rules Heaven with an Iron Fist. He's the old school old testiment "Send Angel to wipe out the entire city" Wrathful God. You do what he commands, you follow the good book, or you get fucked up. ^ And to me, that's an awesome lore to have. God isn't a different being. He's a Demon too. Just a very powerful demon that rules through might makes right. It would be like, a cave man is every demon, and god is a Soldier of today, with the ability to make tanks, nukes, and so on. The level of power is just that vast. But at the end of the day; He is STILL just a Demon.

I feel like something like everyone misses in this episode is the fact that the Angels *don't* get to decide whether or not someone goes to heaven. They don't even know what the parameters are. Like Sera said, souls just appear in heaven. Whatever mechanism makes that determination is a complete black box situation. Even when Sera tells Emily to not question things, she isn't making a threat. She's scared that Em might provoke this unknown arbiter. (Or at least, that's the feeling I got!) The entire hearing is kind of strange, because like, even if the angels agreed with Charlie and decided that souls should be able to move to heaven, they have no power to make it happen.

It's not shown in any of these clips, but in the background you can see Pentious confide to Charlie that he has a crush on Cherry Bomb.

To play devil's advocate - pun fully intended - Sera and Emily are, at least in theory, equal in rank as Seraphim. I don't think that was a threat when she was told not to question, but rather, implying that there are systems and people in place above them that are unwilling to be questioned. And it's hard to say whether or not there was an uprising in the distant past that led to the beginning of the yearly exterminations, or if it was fabricated as justification, but it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility.

[@ziyajafar82]

I love Adam, he is one of my favs. Adam is complicated character. The difference in hazbin hotel that Adam, unlike Eve, he didn't ate fruit of knowledge, that's why he is in heaven, and that's why he has black and white views. Imagine you're the first human with no parents and no knowledge about morals whatsoever, and you automatically get to heaven, and angels like "Oh, if he's here, that means he's good soul, let's make him an archangel, give him power, a royal fancy life where he get anithing he wants on silver platter, not facing consequences of his actions and teach him heaven is good, hell is bad, all just because he's a first human soul. And since angels don't know how souls get to heaven, and they don't choose which soul get to heaven, they didn't argue with Adam, never punish him and anithing what he's doing it's OK. Later he was surrounded by winners who warship him as a someone special, a first human soul in heaven, who gave a birth to humanity. It's not suprising why he is a frat bro with God complexes.

It's very clear Adam could've turned out a lot better if the angels did a better job.

And Emily reacting visibly made him flinch). He ultimately does not fight her on her decisions, mostly just complain or joke in between. And he generally just reads as 'the result of a parent never saying no'.

This is probably my favorite episode despite how much more obviously rushed this particular episode is. And Matthew, if you still wanna make videos on Hazbin, I'd recommend reacting to Valentino, an animatic made before Hazbin's release! It delves a little further into Val and Angel's toxic dynamic and it was animated by someone who did storyboarding for Helluva Boss! And no, it isn't a *literal* slight against same sex relationships, although on a literary analysis standpoint, it could be metaphorical.

They also can’t make angels fall. Vaggie was cast out by another angel, but she isn’t fallen (hence being able to return to heaven). Lucifer fell and can’t return.

[@gamerbear84]

I think Pentious might've had a shot if he'd been honest with Cherry. She might've at least given it some thought.

[@BGTitanAvatar]

Thinking back to Vaggie’s lines in Whatever It Takes, those definitely hit differently now that we have context. “When I saw your face, you made me feel like a stranger in a brand new place, and it felt so good to be understood, there’s so much that I wish I could say.” So Vaggie’s love language is Acts of Service, which makes sense seeing as she was in the Exorcist army, where you’re literally just trained to follow orders and that’s your whole worth. So for her to lose all that, and then meet Charlie who is possibly the first person to show Vaggie true love and affection, of course she’s going to become undying loyal and devoted to her. That’s the only kind of love she knows how to give. Then there’s her making herself into armor/an inanimate object. I think Husk said it best. Vaggie hates herself and again, a lot of her self worth is tied into being the protector, the spear, the person who will make Charlie’s dreams a reality at the cost of herself if she has to. Which…. Frick me they really need to have a conversation about that, get this girl a therapist please. Also, unrelated, but for as much of a shit person Lute is…. I love her voice. Literally my favorite part of You Didn’t Know. 10/10 have listened to that specific part again and again.

An idea for what you could react to after Hazbin hotel, you could react to Blake Romans (Angel Dusts VA) songs, ones I recommend are ‘Loved you like religion’, ‘new side of me’, and ‘marybeth’ :)

If you want more hazbin content, try helluva boss, its still a musical and set in the same universe, but is slightly more explicit and has different characters. But I definitely recommend.

[@singingofsilver]

*(I'm nearly certain these aren't spoilers because it's all background knowledge stated by Vivzie but I'm adding this just in case)* Fun fact! It's widely believed the reason why Angel Dust was able to effectively handle Niffty was because of his twin sister Molly. He's used to calming down others, especially since the mafia (which he and his sister were born into) definitely isn't the most stable place to grow up. Fun fact 2: Molly appears in the song 'Welcome to Heaven', twice.

[@tromedlovdrolmai]

Sera's talk with Emily, in conjunction with Lucifer's statements in the previous episode really show how dystopian Heaven is. All Lucifer wanted was to help humanity get a little free will, he just wanted some change, but the other angels were to rigid in the doctrine they were given to embrace some change. And as such, Lucifer fell. Also the fact that they are that rigid in doctrine and yet don't know what gets a soul into heaven... eeesh.

[@narindercatt2230]

Well... Let's just say angels were right about not listening to Lucifer. We can see how good his "fruit of knowledge" thing went... And angels don't really need to know the rules if they can't affect them. Not to mention, how would they do it? Talk to the divine judgement? LOL

[@jasonsmith6219]

Hey Matthew, this might be a lil tmi but I just wanted to say I was in the dumps after a minor inconvenience in my life that I had a major breakdown over and I was just thinking about your series on hazbin And when I saw it popped up on my feed, I was so thrilled. Watching the series has made most of my days bearable and I’m sad it’s about to come to an end due to only two more episodes left but hopefully more to come. I was slowly, but surely becoming a fan, we have so many things we see eye to eye on and similar opinions but once I seen you start on Hazbin after I just finished it, it felt like I was sharing it with you. Sometimes you need a brother to vent to. Can’t wait till we make it to the end! Much love 💕

[@WindierIndoors]

@14:20 I literally had this conversation with somebody when I was feeling fighty. I sent an email to a religious representative when I was at max angst my sophomore year of my undergrad. I told them how I'd worked at an animal rescue since I was 12. How I'd never drank, smoked, or had relations with anyone. How I had a very good relationship with my family, respected and loved my parents, etc. How I was working and pursuing higher education. But also I had dated a girl in high school. And their response was essentially "you can't make up for sins with virtues."

9:48 I like to think that Lute is talking about it being an angel and a demon, not same-sex relationships. Partially because if heaven is homophobic it would make no sense for St. Peter to be the one at the gate (there are no words to convince me that man is straight)

It is NOT a slight on LGBTQ relationships. Lute is referring to an angel and a demon being together as "blasphemy". In the "Welcome to Heaven" song you can see obvious LGBTQ background characters. Especially when Saint Peter sings, "And everyone is hOOOoot~"

[@marithflugelhorn7352]

As great as this episode is, I'm a bit sad that Cherri isn't as supportive a friend here as she was in the "Addict" video. She means well but she wants Angel to be her fun-loving partner - she doesn't want to hear about what he went through even though he clearly wants and needs to talk about it, and she doesn't understand why he would want to do anything but party. It's hard to imagine her sitting with him for an entire night of withdrawal symptoms. Lucky for you, there's an entire season and a half of Helluva Boss to react to! Instead of listening to the songs first, it'd be neat to see you react to them as part of the episodes this time. (You shouldn't need to cut up the videos either, a lot of reactors just put a filter over the visuals, or cut away at intervals, and play the whole thing.)

[@cassandraspoelhof3752]

Seeing Angel stick up to Valentino is so cathartic and now it really puts into perspective just why Valentino was so pissed in episode 2 because before Angel moved to the Hazbin Hotel he lived at the studio so Val always had control over him but now he only has control over him when Angel is shooting porn at the studio.

Something I did not realize right away. Adam calls Angel Dust "The p@r# demon." So, he knows who Angel is. Angel does scenes with other guys in his work, be it only one, or multiple. So, to recognize Angel Dust, that means Adam at some point has watched gay demon pr0n. (Note: i have nothing against saying the word, but... youtube.)

I don't think Sera was threatening Emily when she told her she could end up fallen like Lucifer. It's unclear if "Falling" is something the angels do to each other as punishment, or if it's a natural reaction to your ideals no longer aligning to heaven. It is also unclear who determines who falls. So when Sera says Emily could end up fallen, it doesn't seem like a threat to me, but like a warning. For all her flaws, I don't think Sera would cast Emily out of heaven, I think she loves her too much and wants to protect her. But it feels like someone else might, or that it could occur naturally. So I think she truly is worried about Emily, and probably avoids questioning herself because like she said, she and Emily have important functions in Heaven, they can't afford to fall.

[@pestchild]

Okay warching this series has convinced me to start watching the good place 😭😭

[@charis_xo]

Just wanted to say, none of the people in Hazbin so far actually pass the judgement on where a soul wnds up. Sera says, "We know when they pass divine judgement." Nobody in the show so far knows why souls go where they go. Heaven also wasn't oppressing the sinners before the exterminations (as far as we know)

[@mathewunknown8266]

One thing for the next episode thats not spoiler just explanation: Angelic weapons kill daemons by damaging their souls. While demons can get damaged by normal physical damage, its not permanent. In episode 2 we see demon torn to shreds and she was told to take "Few hours to pull herself together". However damage to soul inflicted by non angelic weapon can be permanent if its also emotional. Like say, someone gets their tongue ripped out, and until they get over the trauma of it they wont get their tongue back. However damage from angelic weapons wont heal. So once someone is killed with it, they dont die, but they cant function anymore. This is speculation, but it appears they are left to rot, and may become part of the hell, and then used for buildings and such.

[@arianna-qb9rd]

I think this episode makes it clear that although he hasn’t appeared in the show, God exists in the Hazbin universe and he alone decides whether someone goes to heaven or hell. I feel like Sera might not know the specifics of this system and thus go about worried that she or someone she cares about like Emily will do something wrong and just get smited instantly. However, considering what happens in episode eight, perhaps a soul needs to die before their status as an angel or demon can change? That would explain how Adam was able to remain in heaven for so long when he was clearly corrupt and why improved souls like Angel and Pentious didn’t just one day blip to heaven when they crossed whatever the threshold is.
