Helluva Boss Episode 7 part 1 Review: Poor Blitzo

[@justwentfullchuu2]

I've also thought that, but still: his only demand for Blitz using the grimoire is them having sex for once a month, right? But when he called IMP to escort him to Loo Loo Land he still offered payment for services instead of using the Grimoire to force Blitzo to work for him, he saved Blitzo and the team from the human agents and actually kept lending them the book, and he just invited them to the Harvest Festival just so they could have fun, they were not working for him (Blitz actually took a part in the games). Stolas is constantly putting himself on the line for the relationship and Blitzo is just being an ass to him. Makes me genuinely mad.

[@lumisherbert5682]

Let's just take the time to notice that Blitz was CRYING in this episode. BLITZ. The character who, even in his most emotional moments, never shed a tear. Even in the ep 6 drug trip scene, NOTHING, no crying, and he still maintained the sarcasm I think he's known for at this point. The fact that he shed NOT ONE tear, but a whole dang waterfall speaks a lot to how important this was.

[@ascent9374]

I believe the real reason why Blitz is so obsessed with Moxxy's and Millie's relationship together is because its what he truly craves, real genuine love. -and they have just that

[@laval0910]

I think he just lost so many relationships and he has now trust issues and thats the reason he adopted loona. Because a chold and father relationship has trust. Also thats the reason hes overprotective to loone because he doesnt want her to go away. And the reason he stalks moxie and millie. Because he can trust them after they saved his ass a bunch pf times and now is scared they will one day go away and wont come back.

[@nihili4196]

@@laval0910 We don't know what happened in his past, but he clearly have trust issues, as well as crave just normal relationships. He desperately needs normal family, normal friends, maybe even love interest. But he has no idea how to get those. He's forcing Loona to be his family, despite her already being an adult when he adopted her, he's trying to be third wheel in M&M even though both of them are visibly uncomfortable with the idea (Although Millie is very understanding of Blitzø's situation), and the thing with Stolas is very confusing on both ends. Each and every relationship he's in is a mess, and it's both Blitzø's fault, but also not really, since he clearly have no idea how to build working relationships.

[@alllittlethingzz]

I think he wants a relationship like theirs and he wants to find love but he’s scared of being alone and why he tends to leave everyone alone before they can leave him which isn’t a good thing to do but he should at least try let others in

[@purkle200]

Well he'll never have that if he doesn't get his crap together.

Also the fact Blitz KNEW Fizz would recognise him but still spoke up to defend Moxie just carries on from that development they had last episode too

Moxie said “one year WEDDING anniversary”. Which probably means that m&m have been dating for much longer, based on how strong their relationship is. In no world would I see them only having been a couple for 1.5-2 years, I’d say they’ve probably been a couple for 3-5 years prior to their marriage

This may be weird but I loved the crying because it is a lot more realistic. Instead of being that horrible shouting cry, it was a more silent breathy one. It isn't that fake type. Edit: I see I didn't explain well. I am talking about those shows and movies where they fake cry but they have to act it up. So they get the fake emotional, leading to crying scenes being joked on and trashed on because they are clearly forced.

The original animatic was imo, a better portrayal of the significance of that moment. Blitzø gives this confused squint of betrayal. A sort of "Wait, that's what you really think of me?" They animation expression is also good but I think the original expression has a better meaning to it.

[@mel.r0ckk]

FR the face expresion is great

[@tastefullyoffensive2412]

I noticed Verosika called him selfish, just like in the previous episode when in Blitz’s mind she called him the same thing. You mentioned how well this show sets everything up, I think they foreshadow everything as well. We’ve seen Blitz’s fallout with Striker, Verosika, and now the real Fizzorolli, Stolas was the last in his drug-induced hallucination to leave him, so I bet they will separate for a bit.

[@jacklyntree7752]

Ooo I like that, and it makes sense because that scene in episode 6 never really had a conclusion. It ends with Blitzø being covered in gold feathers(?), screaming and then it cuts to Moxxie.

Stolas needs a hug for the pain he got dealt by Asmodeus and, unintentionally, Blitzø. Blitzø needs a hug because how broken he is. And M&M deserve a hug for being absolutely cute and wholesome. Edit: And Asmodeus deserves a hug from Vulkan, because he does not deserve an intact spine.

[@finaldarkfire]

Probably my favorite subtle detail in this episode: Did anyone else notice how well Fizz and Asmodeus work as a foil to Blitzo and Stolas? An imp who's seemingly hooked up with an all-powerful demon lord but they seem to have an actual functioning, loving relationship despite their mocking of the M&M's.

[@chekhovs_gundam]

i saw someone say that if it turns out that they are in some sort of romantic relationship, it'll probably be something along the lines of asmondeus being "in love" with fizz that he created rather than who he actually was/is. it's still early to tell, but i'd personally be interested in seeing that sort of dynamic

[@painoftheheart12]

YES!!!!! I feel everyone is on Blitzo’s side due to protagonist bias but it really seems Fizzarolli tried looking out for him, but his own failure while watching his SO succeed caused bitter resentment. Then with Verosika it looks like he knowingly took advantage of her status, fame and feelings to hit back at Fizzarolli. Looking at episode 6 that trip has a TON more context. Moxxie ripping him a new one in his pretentious voice, fading in and out of scribbles until he becomes a …. Princess. He sees the potential in Moxxie to be even better than him. Rather he knows Moxxie and Millie are too good for him. He bites back with “I don’t need you” and something tells me that isn’t the first time he said that. Striker being the one to call out Blitzo’s desire to not be alone gives reason to why he saved Stolas. I don’t think Blitzo loves Stolas and I also think he has already closed the door on the relationship before it ever really started. He knows he’s going to hurt Stolas and because of that…..he’s just angry with him all the time. But he’s using Stolas to fill his loneliness. He has nothing to give back at all. And Striker calling out his need to not be alone is Blitzo criticizing himself for saving Stolas for his own selfish desire of having someone want him, no matter how superficially (or not so shallow). Then Fizzarolli was next, tossing Blitzo in the air and catching him. Possibly an allusion to the meteoric rise of Fizzarolli’s show biz fame and Blitzo leeching along. The fact Blitzo worked at LooLoo Land makes me feel Fizz got him that job. He even occasionally did standup which we see is Fizzarolli’s thing at Ozzie’s. In the background of other episodes we see he had other acts as well, all of which failed for one reason or another, but knowing how showbiz worker, again, I don’t see Blitzo having had any taste of success on his own merit. His relationship with Fizzarolli was what carried him, like how Fizzarolli in his trip sequence caught him before he fell. But then Fizz says “You tried the solo act, it didn’t work out so well” before hurling him top speed into the mud. Which to me, plays out as Blitzo ending their relationship with a similar “I don’t need you” and Fizzarolli, burned by Blitzo and his selfishness, cut him off completely. Which Blitzo interpreted as throwing him away. This also adds to what Fizz says in episode 7 and how Blitzo reacts to him. Which I will get to the latter later. But Fizzarolli saying Blitzo can’t say shit on relationships seeing how he can’t keep one to save his life, with what Verosika says in episode 3, it shows a pattern of Blitzo being the reason his relationships fall apart. And episode 6 proves he KNOWS that. Then Verosika in the bad trip sequence. Her dialogue screams that Blitzo knew she loved him, but how he can easily just shove her off shows that he never really cared about her. She was just something to get back at Fizzarolli with. Then see also how he treats each of them. Verosika in episode 3, he just runs up insulting her, no fear or shame or reservations despite her still being above his station. He isn’t afraid of her. She calls him out in episode 7 and he’s just annoyed. But Fizzarolli is an “oh no, must hide, anyone but him”. When Fizzarolli goes in at him he has true panic in every interaction. Honestly I feel bad for Verosika being hung up on this guy who broke her heart, I’m happy for Fizzarolli moving on with his life, still resentful but he didn’t end his life at Blitzo. He has an adoring demon prince boyfriend in an open relationship and he’s doing well for himself. And then you just pity Blitzo while watching him do the same shit all over again. But when you change the perspective, it makes so much more sense. No one just used Blitzo. There was nothing they got from him. He was using them, even Stolas is being used. But Blitzo wants a relationship where he stands equal to them. His crippling inferiority is the issue and he has some severe self hatred over it, but simultaneously doesn’t think he can be any better than that. Look at episode 1 and how vicious and angry he gets at Moxxie with the line “From the moment you’re born you’re leeching off your momma’s teet” it’s how he rationalizes and lives with himself. No one ever used and abused Blitzo. That was all him. And he hates himself for it.

There’s also the fact that Stolas covered his face with a menu instead of defending Blitzo from the crowd. Whereas Milly physically assaulted Fizz to let her Hubby continue singing, not giving two sh*ts about the crowd’s opinion. Stolas had a chance to defend Blitzo but he didn’t. And Stolas didn’t deny it when Blitzo said he was only into him for sex. That speaks volumes IMO.

I think there could be a really fun discussion about how this is an episode that is about the three type of pairs in Hell: the Stolitz, hiding everything from the society and being ashamed of their rare honesty when presented to social pressure, Ozzierolli with them being in complete control of their demon personalities and how others view them, but being hypocrites in contrast to M&Ms, who *completely* renounce Hell's obsession of embodying the sins they're stuck with, and instead finding honesty and passion against the system, to a point where the two of them don't even get hurt by one of the sovereigns, the freaking *Asmodeus* who only just throws them out. it's good character study through coupling them between one another, and how Hell and its society are represented in them!!

A post from Tumblr by sunshine-tattoo explains the scene with Asmodeus, Fizzarolli, Blizø, Stolas really well: Saw some people wondering why Asmodeus and Fizz are: 1. Commenting on Moxie’s love song when they are clearly in love themselves? 2. Shocked that Stolas is with blitz when they themselves are also a royal and imp couple? The answer is context. Ozzy’s club is a lustful place. It’s for the sexual and kinky side of a relationship. Going onstage there and singing a wholesome love song is about the equivalent of going to a punk metal club and singing the My Little Pony theme song. It’s just not the right place. What’s more, Asmodeus and Fizz are a business owner and his main performer respectively. They are dependent on the club remaining popular and making money in order to stick around. Moxie’s lovey dovey stuff was killing the vibe and therefore a threat to business. Are Asmodeus and Fizz clearly in love and do their own lovey dovey stuff? Sure. Completely. But not when they are trying to work. Fizz tells his raunchy jokes and Asmodeus sings his sexy songs. That’s their job. As for their relationship being unusual due to their different species and social classes, Asmodeus’s talk with Stolas wasn’t really about him dating someone of a different background. It was about what he threw away in order to get to it. As far as we know, Asmodeus is not married and has no children. Therefore he can do what he likes with whomever he likes. But Stolas was different. Even if his marriage was arranged and unhappy, he still had a duty to it. Or at least to end it in an ethical way. Instead he threw it away for, what the world sees anyway, a quick fling. Asmodeus doesn’t know Blitz, but between Fizz and Verosika chewing him out he can guess that this isn’t a man in a sweet and loving relationship like Moxie and Millie. So he can then berate Stolas for doing something foolish. Tossing aside everything “for a thrust”. Whether or not Asmodeus approves or not of Stolas’s decision doesn’t matter. What matters is that he needed to point out to Stolas the inherent selfishness of the decision. Because as a fellow royal, he can do so without retribution. Even more cruel, he can do it while holding his own imp boyfriend. One who actually returns his affections. Asmodeus is essentially saying with his actions: “Hey Stolas look at me. I’ve got everything you want but I didn’t have to blow up my life to get here. Maybe take some stock of why your life is fucked right now.”

[@valeriagargano1801]

Honestly I think Asmodeus approves what Stolas did and calling it out was like an advertisement, of what you should find in his local, not the lovely-dovey thing Moxxie was singing about but the lust, the desire, passion without thinking of the consequences. And besides Asmodeus as a member of the royalty must know Stolas or better he may know how much kinky or thirsty he can be; you can't be called Embodiment of lust for nothing, right?

[@nicklewis470]

It felt like Asmodeus was just trying to point out how truly powerful lust is, how it can ruin everything if you let it, and as the king of the lust ring that just speaks to his power. It was a.total pat on the back situation

[@_p1x]

Just to add on: 1. He didn’t actually say anything about their relationship. Wally is the one who said “are you sleeping with an imp?” 2. Asmodeous is the embodiment of lust. He is expected to sleep with basically everyone. Even if it’s an imp, it’s expected. With stolas, he has, in hell’s eyes, just slept with an imp. Like a weirdo. Like a fool.

[@mallowwings]

Another is Fizz I think Hides the fact he is an imp (almost) the prince of greed is also much like the style of fizz making it look like he is whatever race rules directly under the prince instead of a lowly imp he still has his tail but I don't think they notice often. Edit:also his robots are sold without a tail

They also made Josh x Ace canon. After episode 3 aired, there was a lot of fans who liked the idea of pairing them together even though there was literally no evidence for it. It was a crack ship. It was pure wishful thinking. And the Helluva Crew listened because throughout the episode, you can spot Josh and Ace at a table together, snuggling up close. I just adore this because nobody made them do this. These are two very minor characters. Hell, their names are only known because their designer put out a post on twitter with the names of all of Verosika's crew. Most people wouldn't have cared or noticed, but they still heard their fanbase's reaction to these two lust demon boys and actually decided to make it official. I have no choice but to tip my hat to the Helluva Crew.

11:30 - I've said it before in other places, and I'll say it again here: I'm 100% certain Ozzie and Fizz actually _are_ in a truly loving relationship, they just understand the importance of separating their personal life together and their professional life of running a _sex-oriented_ club, and going a bit further, it's entirely possible they might not have really had much of a problem with M&M's wholesomeness in and of itself if Moxxie hadn't been _killing the mood of their club_ with it.

Honestly after the sad stuff and me cosplaying as a waterfall I went back to where Moxxie stepped on Fizz and Ollie was genuinely concerned about him.

We’ve seen from previous episodes that mox thinks with his heart, not his head, at the expense of other people, it’s like a couple who are so absorbed in their own love that they aren’t concerned about their surroundings, or other people, at all, and that isn’t always a good thing, there is a time and a place for things, if two surgeons left their patient on the table to smash.. that’s reckless.

The pacing was also really good. The start of Blitzo's and Stolas' date so painful, I almost had to look away, but just before it became unbearable, they switched the scene, put a focus on M&M for a bit and they continued it that way, just keeping it on the edge of being to painful to watch until the gut punch at the very end.

[@zmugzoid]

Their relationship is never going to work if blitz doesn’t learn to open up. It’s obvious he hasn’t had a healthy, open relationship in yearsss and I think at some point he was hurt by sharing his feelings and because of that he just doesn’t. Stolas however, understands that it’s ok to share your feelings. The scene where blitz shouts at stolas in the car really shows how much they clash when stolas suggests talking or watching a movie or cuddling and blitz has taught himself that’s wrong and immediately shuts him down and pushes him away again. Stolas does understand though, he did get why he was upset and tried to help. Be glad he knows at least a bit of how to navigate the mind or we wouldn’t have a stolitz

[@dragonicdoom3772]

There's a really small detail that I think people have overlooked: Stolas and Asmodeus are related. When you look at their head shapes, especially when they have their hats on, they look very similar. Also, irl both Stolas and Asmodeus are in the Ars Goetia as written in the Lesser Key of Solomon, Ars Goetia also happens to be Stolas' family name and the Goetic crest can be seen on the platform in Ozzie's club. Plus, when Blitz realises its Fizzarolli Stolas says "did he say Asmodeus?" and he didn't sound happy about it, implying there may be some bad blood between them. Also Fizzarolli gives me serious Randall vibes from Monster's University, he and Blitz were probably in a relationship but Fizz ditched him to join Mammon because from what we've seen Fizz has talent while Blitz probably doesn't, at least no talent that Mammon would acknowledge. This was probably one of the main contributing factors to Blitz's fear of intimate relationships.

One thing that should definitely be taken into consideration for how the Stolitz "Date" went down is the fact that for ONE of them it has never been a date in the first place. Blitz didn't invite Stolas for the intention he then (kinda unintentionally tho) let him believe and therefore both went in with COMPLETELY different attitudes and expectations that very obviously _dont mix well_ . This miscommunication is never set right which naturally lead to such a disaster of a departure at the end.

[@jagodadelega8130]

It wasn't really miscommunication tho, since Stolas did let Blitzo know that he thinks it's a date (twice even) and Blitzo did nothing to correct him, even going as far as saying that is was, indeed, a date. So while HE didn't consider it a date, he did intentionally let Stolas think so

Mainly cause we've already picked up Blitz's struggles by previous eps and we have seen how Stolas ex-wife and daugther have been effected by everything- but we've never really seen Stolas pain up until now. Yes, we saw him upset when his was with Octavia but that was mainly about how she was effted by her parents divorce. This ep actually showed Stolas in a really depressed state for many reasons and for him to also be called out for loving someone of 'lower class' must have hurt alot as well.

My emotions went more to Stolas. He has feelings for Blitzo beyond sex and has made it clear, and this episode Blitzo basically tried to gaslight the situation to excuse how he abuses Stolas' affection. He's using him for the Book and nothing more. This episode made it clear how much Stolas is willing to ignore that hoping maybe one day Blitz will want HIM. Blitz is obsessed with Moxie.

[@nihili4196]

I mean, did he really made them clear? They're clear to us, since we know much more than Blitzø, but from Blitzø's prespective Stolas is mostly interested in sex, since that's how almost every interaction between them ends up. The only moments when Stolas expressed genuine care was end of last episode, but that can be easily misinterpreted by Blitzø as wanting to make sure that book is safe, and this episode but Blitzø was too emotionally distressed for that to help.

[@mjalbert5359]

@@abigailross1890 yeah you're right. Maybe that is all Blitzø knows, but as the audience, we have the benefit of seeing the situation differently. I believe Stolas' manner is to protect his own feelings, as he himself believes that Blitzø only would want a sexual relationship, so he acts like that's all he wants as well. That's what I think, anyway. Veronika's verse in Asmodeus' song basically backs that up, Blitzø is sexually selfish and really can't handle emotional attachment. I understand why Stolas presented himself that way.

There's a reason not a single inch of ridicule dragged out of Moxxie or Millie. They're not happy with him being there, but they're not going to stoop so low as to throw shame on his name. And this is exactly it though. Blitzo knows he messes up. He's messed up on every relationship he's had, he's afraid of losing his friends and the hellhound he considers his daughter. He's afraid, and wonders if maybe he didn't exist in their lives that they'd never suffer. The one with the most trauma right now is Blitz.

I recently went back and watched episode 6’s trippy musical truth serum sequence and noticed something. When Blitz is hallucinating and in the clown costume, there’s a tear drop mark on the white part of his face. A tear drop tattoo can symbolize that you have committed a murder, remorse, or a reminder of a mistake. This possibly adds credibility to the theory that something he did resulted in the death of his mother

[@krow1551]

I can personally relate to Blitzo especially with his feelings towards Stolas at the end. Feeling like he's just there to make Stolas feel pleasure. That kind of breakdown in front of stolas and in his own house. Stolas and Blitzo both have their own problems and are dealing with them in unhealthy ways.

[@TimReuscher-bg5xt]

I like how Loona wrote Blitz a note letting him know where she is. I saw that as caring.

[@26th_Primarch]

The end of this episode was a gut punch with a semi truck. Also there's a theory that Fizz is Blitz's brother. Since Blitz and his relatives are the only ones with that specific marking on their foreheads

[@Blaze_Ironscale]

Exactly my thoughts too. This needs to be upvoted so he can see it.

[@timeportal2859]

Or Childhood friend.

[@Blaze_Ironscale]

@@timeportal2859 The key is that mark on his forehead. Those are birthmarks not tattoos and everyone in Blitz's family has that same mark. Him, his sister, his mother AND Fizz. It's too much of a coincidence to make him just a friend. He has to be family.

[@ItsMinnowSeason]

Yeah! Many people, even Chorus, missed this detail despite pausing on the pictures of the two of them :0

[@crimsxnu]

I would normally agree, but Vivziepop has liked drawings of Blitzo and Fizzarolli on twitter. If they were related, I dont see why she would like them. Plus, there's multiple hints that they've at least been sexually intimate sooo yeah

[@MillyKKitty]

Fizz could also be Blitz' brother or half-brother since the older woman in his picture (canonically Tilla, the big sister/or mother of Blitz) has simiral head and mouth shape to Fizz.

[@kibaspuppy]

They also have the same mark on the forehead. But I dunno if that has to do with being related or something to do with mammon.

[@Techhunter_Talon]

Will note that a healthy relationship that Moxxie and Millie have might be abnormal in the Lust ring but not everywhere else. Granted, in the Greed ring, there might be plenty of relationships that are just fueled by one, or both, sides wanting more money but still.

[@check2765]

Asmodeus was prefectly casted. He has a wonderful voice.

[@alllittlethingzz]

It made me sad when I saw Stolas eating cereal alone and how he looked down at the other end of the table as if Stella or Octavia was there but they weren’t and then he ate cereal and watched tv alone and how he wanted to hang out with Blitzo and it makes me wonder what happens in Stolas head when he got called out like if it was really worth it that he lose his wife and how Octavia is getting older and she’s starting to hang out with her mom a bit and stay with her and oof!! This episode just had me sad

[@Techhunter_Talon]

Stolas does say that Octavia and Stella are away for the weekend. So, they could still live there but had left for some 'mother/daughter bonding' or something else.

[@alllittlethingzz]

@@Techhunter_Talon that can be true since we don’t really see Stella and Octavia have a bonding experience

[@jamesvivian2855]

I still desperately hope Stolitz ends up becoming a thing

[@lpsangelproductions3999]

I noticed that he crossed out his face, and now I feel so sorry for my boy blitz, I think you wanted to distance himself so much That is crossing his face out so he feels like he’s not ruining the moment. I LOVE HIM AND IM LEGIT SCARED FOR THE NEXT EPISODE😭😭✨✨

[@ArcherA]

I'm glad that I'm not the only one falling hard on Asmodeus' voice. Cause damn, it's just something else. Plus, he's my favourite design now. I'm also assuming that M&M having been dating for a long time which explains their strong relationship. Seeing Stolas sad honestly broke me and has me worried for him. I'm also remembering the second episode and the song he sang for Octavia that again has me worried for him.

[@racookster]

The animation in the last two and a half minutes of this episode deserves as much praise as Brandon's voice acting. Blitzø's expressions and body language are perfectly on-point. Watch his gesture at 6:06 in this review. It's a small thing, but combined with his dialogue, it's amazing.

[@delaney9383]

For real!! I also noticed how fantastic the body language & expression was. Next level stuff

[@jacklyntree7752]

Ikr!! His character design and movement fits Brandon's acting 100%

[@abigailhowe8302]

"the mans voice was just butter" Yeah, know what, I haven't actually thought about it yet... I'm still struggling to process the emotional crap, 2 days later... But you're absolutely right... Such a good performance.

[@deathdefying1472]

Man can Blitzo ever get a break from being sad. For the past couple of episodes we’ve seen his personal issues bother him. For once can he get a break?!

[@AB-dm1wz]

He's the Kaladin Stormblessed of Helluva Boss.

[@ilymonsun]

Blitzo needs a big hug but he won’t admit it 😕

[@chanceenglish7769]

For some reason I thought that Blitzo was gonna explode at the people from his past all in one place, Vorassica, Fizz, and from his jealousness of the M&Ms

[@isaacwatanabe9599]

Blitzos following m&m around makes perfect sense now. He wants a relationship like they do

[@BrazenBull001]

I still want to know the story of how and why Blitz adpoted Loony

[@nihili4196]

@Kaylee Jazz There are couple of things that has been baffling me for a while now. First of all, why would authorities let Blitzø adopt Loona when she was already an adult. I mean, good for her, she clearly needs family just as much as Blitzø, but that is kinda weird. Second of all, how come she has syphilis while being a virgin? I feel like this whole syphilis plot got dropped, but we will see.

[@bluebird1914]

I mean if you think about it, Loona and Blitzø are both very similar people. They're both clearly very lonely and struggle to let people in, and use alcohol, sex, and just generally terrible coping mechanisms to cope with that pain. Blitzø was probably just walking by the orphanage and happened to see Loona, and she did something that made him realize that he's just like her. So he adopted her.

[@tulipallium]

Something I feel was missing from this, and something I think most people haven't even caught onto, is that Blitzo is so obsessed with Moxie and Millie because he craves to have a relationship like theirs. Like he observes them with a very obvious obsession, but I think that it's not just being a weirdo or perv, I think it's because he wants to learn from them. He wants to learn how to love like they do. That just breaks my heart.
