To clear up the Stolas needing the book. He doesn't, he's had it for decades at least and knows most of the magic. He needs the grimoire in order to do his actual job which is reading the stars for prophecy.

So he's the Astrology demon

[@jayblight8501]

@@monochromesoul5873 Yea both in real world theology and in the Helluva boss universe he is the demon in charge of or at least commonly associated with the stars, prophecy and herbology, which would explain his fascination with the flora in hell.

[@Gremlin_Boi_]

something you'll start to notice after this episode is every time Blitz holds up his arms to protect the ones he cares about. You really start to understand Blitz's whole situation and how he truly feels about himself too.

[@napstadan-ihateleague]

This is one of my favourite singular episodes of this show. It’s nice to see blitzø and moxie are ACTUALLY friends

[@iv9753]

Stolas can portal himself. He just needs the book for other spells, like the harvest moon curse

[@bunnybi4910]

So, my understanding of Stolas’ abilities is he does have some spells memorized/some abilities retained without the book, portals being one of them. But he needs the book for other more complex spells for whatever it is he does for his main job (which has something to do with the study of the stars and prophesies). I.M.P could technically take advantage of whatever other spells the book contains if they really wanted to/knew how to use them (which adds to the dubious legality of letting them borrow it), but they only use it for the portal spell In this episode, I don’t think Stolas even really NEEDED to puppet those dead bodies to draw the blood sigil to summon himself - that was purely a power move 😂 but yeah, THIS episode is one of my favorites in the whole series as well, I’m so happy you’re enjoying it (also your media literacy is SUPER refreshing, I loved how you were interpreting the dream sequences, you were spot on 😭💕)

[@nabinoorshahil2715]

Actually I don't think IMP can use any other spells other than the portal one as there appears to be an aspect of talent required to use certain spells as Luna seems to be the only one among them who can create portals with the book and use a disguise with the others not being able to do either even with the book. So they might not be able to use the stronger spells themselves if it gets in the hands of someone more powerful it could be dangerous.

[@Telidian]

I think he needed to puppet those dead bodies, because they draw his symbol on the ground, and I think he needed that to go across. This was the episode it make me really like Stolas, when he could show off why he is a royalty. Too bad later the show somehow forgot how powerfull he is.

[@Okk681]

Agree about the media literacy, like not only is he clearly very empathetic but he also legit tries to take in the scenes, analyze what is going on, what's being said

[@perrycarters3113]

@@Telidian A couple things. 1. As we see later, no, Stolas did not need to possess the bodies, he knows how to open portals to the human world even without the grimoire. That was done for dramatic/traumatic effect; by entering that way, the two remaining Agents were COMPLETELY incapable of doing anything other than absolutely cowering in fear. 2. The show did not forget how powerful he is. I assume you're referring to when Striker attacked Stolas and kidnapped him? First of all, he got tied up in blessed rope which even the episode clarifies eliminates his ability to access his powers. As for how he got wrapped up in that rope, for all his power, Stolas is a scholar, not a warrior-prince. He doesn't know much if any combat-oriented magic, only really resorting to the petrifying ability from his eyes, but like I said, he's a scholar, not a warrior; his mind doesn't work like a fighters, preferring to avoid conflict. It takes him a bit to "warm up" to using anything combat-oriented because he has terrible combat instincts. When Striker attacked, he wasn't thinking about how to fight back, he was thinking "Who is this man? Why is he attacking me? How do I get out of here? Did Stella send him after me? Did Andrealphus?" and by the time he realizes he should probably fight back, he's already tied up. Blitz, despite being near-infinitely weaker, is much more useful in a fight because he is a stone-cold killer with excellent fighting instinct.

[@ReaderNumber7]

In Moxxie's trip, Blitzø is wearing a mask as a reference to The Phantom of the Opera, a musical Moxxie loves. In the previous episode, you can see the musical playbill poster next to Moxxie and Millie's bed.

[@-mittensradio-2171]

it’s also moxxie’s ringtone, you can hear it when blitzø calls him about the harvest moon festival in episode 5

[@professorbutters]

According to Millie, he also wants to know what sex with Michael Crawford is like. Michael Crawford originated the Phantom role in the musical.

[@ReaderNumber7]

@@professorbutters omg you're right! I never thought of that!

[@-mittensradio-2171]

lol so many references to it, he’s such a theater nerd

[@matthewletexier]

Stolas is like a dnd wizard. His spellbook has all his spells in it and he only prepares certain ones at a time

[@techi4584]

this is a great explanation actually!!

[@DevAmyArt]

The fact blitz and moxies phantom of the opera song is mostly blitz wanting to know if millie pegs him is hilarious

[@Iymarra]

Millie going absolutely feral will never not be amusing (and terrifying)

[@sybariticcupboardrat3763]

This is the episode where I sat up and realized that there was going to be more substance to this show than just dark humor sitcom with surface level social commentary. They're actually developing the characters and the story is going somewhere. Also goddamn! the animation for these fight scenes is tasty.

[@CaptainCFalcon]

So D.H.O.R.K stands for Demon Hunting Organization… something something. I could never figure out the R & K. Also, Loona couldn't read the book, not because it was dark, but because of the flashing red light. Canines actually cannot see red light, so it was flickering between her night vision & just flashes of black for her.

[@YourPrinceStolas]

My best guess for DHORKS so far is "Demon Hunters Only Really Know Satan" but thats a kind of a huge stretch, curious if we'll ever actually be told what it truly means....

[@EdelSlow]

THANK YOU for being one of the few people acknowledging blitzøs inferiority complex its a big factor in his relationship with stolas that a lot of people dismiss(

[@connorredshaw5650]

It's great that we finally got to see what loona is capable of. They should really take her on more missions they could really use her for sure. I had the honour of meeting her VA Erica Lindbeck at a helluva boss panel on the 5th january and she signed a loona poster for me. Loona is my favourite character in Helluva Boss and I can't wait to see more of her in more episodes this season.

[@Lithaos111]

Stolas can use simple magic like the portals and like without the book because of his innate demonic power. However he does need the book for the actual ceremony as those magic are much much larger in scale. It's why he is ok with Blitzo having it the rest of the time.

[@shinrugal]

One thing people miss is that Loona can't read the book in that light because dogs are colorblind. So the red ligh interferes with her eyes.

[@Drakoni23]

This episode is great, especially from an animation perspective. How they use the style as part of what their internal, emotional state looks like. And then the super wide angles and exaggerated perspective on the fight scenes, so good. Also you can absolutely call it "the camera" even if it's an animated show. Most terms used for live-action film are also used in animation.

[@techi4584]

stolas has some of the spells from his book memorized, but not all of them. blitz and the rest of the I.M.P crew only use the book for its portal spell, but technically the book has all kinds of spells in it. the portal spell is just a simpler spell that stolas already has memorized. most importantly though, stolas still needs the book for his ACTUAL job (reading the stars for prophecies). that's why he gets the book back every full moon, so he can fulfill his prophecy related duties.

[@JohnBogna]

I'm always excited to see people's reaction to this episode, it's one of the best of the whole series IMO.

[@thebeardedbrony9586]

24:23 this is the real world summoning circle for Stolas.

[@Pokemichael]

As someone fully caught up, this is my favorite episode of the show. Is it mainly for the huge action scene at the end? Yes. I love how the music changes depending on who is being focused on. But also the crazy amount of blitzø and moxie growth.

[@grandmasta0079]

Some explanation on Stolas needing the book, Crossing over without it required simultaneously possessing dozens of people to create a blood summoning circle just so that he alone could cross over. Now that he was reunited with the grimoire, he simply needed to wave his hands to create a portal for multiple people to return through. He would need the book to travel to uninhabited areas, like when he took is daughter to space during the song in episode 2. In the first episode he told blitz0 that he needs the book back once a month to do his job and Blitz0 can have it the rest of the time.

[@CyberDalek17]

I love how Loona just starts recording this 😆 24:29

[@cktkat]

To answer the question about Stolas and his book. For the most part, Stolas is able to do simple spells without the book. He is a higher demon so his innate magical abilities are most likely higher than that of an imp or Hell Hound. Like how Luna can create a human disgiuse but the rest of team IMP can not (or just don't know how yet). So while IMP might need the book solely for creating portals, Stolas needs it for more bigger, and complex spells. Like when he showed Octavia space while singing to her in episode 2 and when he needed the book for the Harvest Festival in the last episode.

[@notelliot70]

Well, in this case Stolas didn't open a portal without the book. He forced the Agent to summon him with a summoning circle. I think later he does but that's a different episode. Going home in this one it was easy because his book was right there

[@Henzoid]

The meaning of DHORKs is unknown but my personal headcanon is "Demon Hunters of Rural Kansas"

[@SiegahertzCarmin]

Stolas need the book because... Well he didn't memorize EVERY single spells. So for some stuff, he needs it. BUT, traveling at will? Oh, he knows.

[@johnson6099]

I also love how they're playing "Stolas Lamentation" song as Stolas manifests. What Stolas did was use a pentagram to enter the human world. Heard of Black Butler, same thing apllies here. The closer Stolas is to his book, the greater his power is in the human world.

[@emzy19Irving]

I believe what was clearly happening to the demon hunter when Stolas came in was demon possession.. absolutely fucking love the intense demonic form of Stolas..

[@reddieweeb]

It's nice that he doesn't have to cut the video because of copyright.

[@Al_Grey]

fun fact, the animation for the big fight scene was contracted out to another studio! iirc spindlehorse does everything in this episode except for the main fight sequence. they wanted the fight sequence to be really epic and didnt have the manpower at the time to dedicate moxxie's sequence (the layers show up because its meant to emulate the disney hand-drawn style, which you can see the underlayers on a lot of disney movies). brandon rogers talks about the laugh when he pulls out the rocketlauncher and how it was a real laugh because they were so pumped up in the recording studio. if you have time theres clips of the cast season 1 watch party they talk about a lot of the VA direction

[@katchii93]

i just realized blitz’s mask is covering his white markings. OH. OHHHH. ive rewatched this episode a million times and its just hitting me now. omni, that comes to play later. ready yourself for season 2 🙈

[@gianmarcozampella5138]

D.H.O.R.K.S. stands for "Demon Hunters Organization Responsible (for) Killing Shits" (source r/Helluva Boss),which makes sense considering they don't really know what they wanna kill even is

[@AimeeFrizzyAnime]

To be fair. Stoles has his important spells memorized, but not everything. That will be better explained in season 2 episode 2

[@SirSpitsAlotable]

I feel like this is the first episode where shit starts to really kick into full gear as both a hilarious AND deeply emotional show.

[@katchii93]

subbed!! youre one of the few reactors ive seen so far that really got the details down to the TEE the animation shift, even with the sketch lines for moxxie? all on purpose. their insecurities? you picked up on those so quickly and so correctly that i cant wait for you to see more! it only picks up from here 😎 fight sequence, stolas’ power - ALL so good. i appreciate your appreciation for the show because remember, this is all FREE to watch online and its just too good to be free to watch you know? thank you SO MUCH, for giving this series a shot! :’)

From what I got, he just needs the book on the full moon to curse it every month. He may know his spells in it by heart or not. I love when you pause and talk about it and anything else! I want to see your reaction so I love that! CAUTION Be prepared that after you watch next episode, many will want to leave spoilers!

[@OrdemDoGraveto]

Stollas need the book for SOMETHING ELSE, not the portal opening spell. It's a large book, and the spell takes only 2 pages of it. Also, he could open a portal BACK to Hell. But to invade the mortal world, he had to posses the humans and make them summon him.

[@jessicamurillo7914]

This episode was one of the most expensive ones because of the fight scene at the end. To save some money they went old Disney animation style for moxxie trip scene. Nice that you spot that.

[@xanderfoxjsc]

I won't say how but Moxxie will make much more sense when you meet his dad. I do love this episode as IMP just slaughters the agents! And Stolas reminds the audience he is a powerful demonic royal. Due to a later episode it seems Stolas only has full power on Earth if he is in proximity to his Book and because he made a deal with Blitz he can track him (doesn't seem he can track the book, but doesn't need it to open portals)

[@Gremlin_Boi_]

Stolas only needs his grimoire for his full moon rituals, you learn more in S2

[@Nitrinoxus]

I have this awful feeling that we haven't seen the last of the DHORKS agents that the IMP crew tore through. I very much _doubt_ any of them got into Heaven, and it seems unlikely they'd forget about their loyalty to the organization just because they had a change of address to Pentagram City.

[@Husker_the_barkeep]

The reason Stolas didn't use his grimoire in this episode is because he used his demonic sygil which connected the human and demon realms.

[@Savenso]

Stolas doesn't need the book, he already knows the spell by heart. The reason why he wants the book back once a month is simply the "payment"

[@olivianhaisi9612]

No he explicitly says that he need the book for specific things like reading stars for prophecy and other jobs like the harvest moon festival. He has some of the spells memorized but not all like in the episode where they go to LA. He still needs it just not all the time
