In case no one else mentioned it, Blitz is an imp, and imps are hellborn, not sinners; they never were human and (presumably) can't become winners.

[@sandrosliske]

He's been told but his memory isn't the best with some details.

[@jadenyuki312]

Same for stolas (except for being an imp)

[@jcurses]

Alright, I wasn't sure if this had been pointed out or not. 😂

[@rachaelhudson219]

Stolas is also hellborn- although I think there's speculation that the original Goetia may have been fallen angels?

[@Witchchylde]

Redemption isn't necessarily only for getting into Heaven. Blitzie's redemption could look like gaining self confidence and getting a reaffirming relationship, perhaps with Stolas. No need to shift address.

[@rexy3336]

33:02 When Blitz was about to comfort Stolas by putting a hand on his shoulder, we can hear "Don't touch the pretty thing" sung by Verosika.

[@Nitrinoxus]

Welcome to the 'I'm Now Caught Up, And The Waiting is Torture' Club, Matt!

[@bia4an]

And to think ghostfuckers won't show shit about stolitz, IT'S PURE TORTURE

[@daydreamdragon22]

21:28 There is a note on a bag of alcohol from Queen Bee saying "Have Fun!! Bee ❣" Since Tex is Verosika's bodyguard and Bee's partner, this makes a lot of sense where exactly she gets all of her booze.

[@dramspringfeald]

Also, the hellhounds are hers in near totality which is interesting.

[@bad-girl-coventhe-owl-club1119]

Imagine having so many people fall in love with you that you pushed away, and they throw a party dedicated to hating you, and most of them break down and cry at the memory of you, and you still cant seem to get it in your head that people care about you.

[@vertraeumtemoewe]

Yes. The importest thing is to know yourself and being honest with you and other people... if you don't have / do this, things like this can happen sadly. But yeah.. it can be really hard to aknowledge it. It's really hurting x.x ... I hope Blitz learns to love himself more and do himself real good things, not lies and stuff. This episode was an amazing start into it. He talked more, he realizes the things little by little.

[@nth.aurora]

28:38 Bee actually catered for the party. You can see her note when Verosika shows Stolas the cake

[@GregPrice-ep2dk]

keep in mind that Blitx has been told all his life growing up that love was a transactional relationship. Stolas rejecting his "services" (sic) emotionally felt like a rejection of *him*. Oh, the imps, succubi, etc aen't Sinners. They were born in Hell.

[@emmaothorell]

Even the very first time he met Stolas (when Stolas' dad bought Blitz from the circus to spend time with his son for his birthday) it was a transactional relationship, so Blitz must've always seen Stolas as the rich prince who buys him for a good time.

[@Jonathan_Collins]

At the end, Verosika realized that Blitzø belongs at the "I Hate Blitzø" party more than anyone. Also, that twist Martha and Mrs. Mayberry ship is wild and I love it.

[@unvasodechocomilk]

Nah

[@ilikespaghetti4458]

​@@unvasodechocomilk nah to what?

[@The.Original.Phoenix7]

What Blitz says at the start of the episode, 'I'm sorry that I assumed the worse this entire time because I was convinced that a prince could never love someone like me and that I let my self-hatred stop me from apologizing to anyone I care about' is TRUE! Blitz was telling the literal truth right there! There is nobody in Hell who hates Blitz more than himself. He believes that he makes the lives of everyone around him worse because of the circus fire and some other stuff. That one incident resulted in his mother's death, resulted in his best friend suffering life changing injuries, and his own sister hating him. I believe that was the start of his self hatred. In addition it's theorised that what Blitz says at the end of Full Moon, 'You royals think you can do this every time', indicates that Blitz did have a different royal lover in the past, possible his *first* ex, who DID treat him the way he thought Stolas was treating him (just for the royal's own pleasure, just about sex, etc), which could have furthered his self hatred and believe that nobody could ever love him. So basically whenever someone says that they love him, Blitz just freaks out and can't handle it, so he runs, which I think made his self hatred worse. Sorry for the info dump

[@XFizzlepop-Berrytwist]

Not impossible, but I think the You royals was just a generalization. Not any indication he dated one.

[@KayRose97]

There’s another theory that after Blitz was sold to Stolas in childhood Cash continued that cycle selling Blitz to royals in his childhood and teen years.

[@The.Original.Phoenix7]

Both of these are good points and @KayRose97, it could be possible that one of those royals did date and use Blitz. I'm just saying that it's a possibility

[@KayRose97]

@@The.Original.Phoenix7 Yes, there’s another theory that Andrealphus might be that other royal but I’m not so sure about it.

[@Moonlight.Howlings.666]

This episode is the literal definition of being traumatized doesn't excuse hurting others, Blitzø hurt so many and it's crazy how many. I like how Verosika hosted these parties not to shame any of Blitzø's exes, but to reassure them that they're not alone in what they're going through. She was so nice to Stolas the entire night. I fricken love her.

[@Nitrinoxus]

To sum it up in four words: *Hurt people **_hurt_** people.*

[@G.D.G.]

Of course shes not shaming. Shes encouraging people to not move on and suffer with her. She doesnt understand shes causing harm. Maybe even more harm then Blitz. Blitz refused a relationship with her, but she makes sure his exes (if you can even call Denis an ex) dont move on. Shes doing more harm then good.

[@Nitrinoxus]

@@G.D.G. For a lot of people, part of the process of moving on from heartbreak is _catharsis_ -- letting the negative emotions flow without trying to hold them back, in order to just let them go and change direction. That's what Verosika is doing with her annual parties: providing a space where people who've suffered the way she did can find that catharsis and closure, surrounded by people who understand and support them.

[@lilunette9319]

​@@Nitrinoxuscatharsis doesn't work. Evidence supports the opposite. The more you practice a feeling, the more it sticks.

[@FoxMoon89]

@@G.D.G. Quick correction - Blitz and Verosika were _already_ dating when their fallout happened. He didn't refuse a relationship. She let it slip that she loved him, and he panicked and went into self-destruct mode.

[@jammies721]

Wild that is this is the first time Blitz has heard Stolas sing

[@Springy05]

18:56 And yes, thats also Brandon. More accurately one of his characters from his sketches, Grandpa. You remember the "try me bitch" meme a few years back? Yeah, its that character.

[@KediNeedsFirstAid]

I think you missed it. Verosika always calls Blitzø "Blitzo", this shows that she has no respect for him but after he apologized, she called him "Blitz". This shows that she kinda forgave him, at least a little bit.

[@aboyle524]

Blitz is hellborn. He can’t be redeemed.

[@Mylifeartwork14]

Kinda like Charlie for example born in hell

[@eeveefennecfox]

so what if he's a hellborn? just cause hellborn can't go to heaven doesn't mean that their irredeemable dumbasses,blitz is looking to change the the better,we're seeing his redemption slowly fucking morons,even I can understand that there's different types of redemption

[@Witchchylde]

Said it before, I'll say it again. Redemption isn't only getting into Heaven. Personal redemption, that's something he can strive towards.

[@dylanjohnston4388]

First digital circus and now Helluva boss, you are spoiling us today.

[@alorahkr]

47:31 blitzø is a demon, not a human soul :) he was born in hell; that's why we see him as a kid & teen in backstory episodes

[@GamesAndShips]

Love your reactions, as always! I have liked rewatching this with you. Note about the imps: They are not in Hell for a reason, as in they didn't do anything to be sent here. Imps are born in hell and live their entire lives there, barring special permission to access Earth. Hell Hounds, Goetia, and any form of demon we see outside of the Pride Ring were all born in Hell. Sinners, which are humans who died and went to Hell, are secluded to the Pride Ring and cannot access other Rings. That is why I.M.P. office is located in Pride, so sinners can come to them to get revenge on folks still on Earth. Stolas' home is also in Pride. Just some interesting stuff to note.

[@eldaxternator]

Bro Blitz has never died, he's hellborn. We've been over this

[@songweretson]

No need to be rude about it...

[@malkuusha]

@@songweretsonwhere was he rude? By stating facts?

[@kyleaj7414]

Don't forget that Blitz was literally sold as a child, for a day, to Stolas' dad to be his friend. That's probably a major reason why he sees Stolas as just another royal who treats people like they're nothing.

[@dodiswatchbobobo]

Don’t forget. Blitzø didn’t just leave her after she said that. He literally ran away with her credit cards, leaving her stranded with a hotel bill, and traveled three rings away, where he maxed out said credit cards on horseriding lessons.

[@torrinturnuroth3555]

"Baby, I'm not over it, but I'm over you." This is such a good lyric.

[@Nitrinoxus]

One more pile of thoughts and observations, because *_man_* did I spend a lot of time thinking about this episode afterwards: - Viv and the team released a trailer for the second half of Season 2 ahead of Episode 8's release, which includes the rough release dates for the upcoming episodes. Might be worth a look. - The first scene was a roller coaster in itself, as much a mix of steps forward and back as everything else in this episode. Both Blitzø and Stolas did _so_ much better at communicating with one another, and at correcting their own failings in the process -- Stolas was able to express his feelings clearly and stand up for his own boundaries, and even though it took a lot of pushing, Blitzø _actually _*_admitted_*_ to his self-loathing_ and copped to the fact that he's no good at talking things out... but then they both kept falling back into their self-defensive bad habits, Blitzø pushing when he should've backed off and Stolas backing off when he should've pushed, and things boomeranged _right_ back to where they started. It's true what they say: hurt people hurt people. - The 'break-up dynamic' you were talking about actually feels _more_ authentic than most fictional breakups in media. In my own experience, at least, it's more common for both parties to 'take a break', putting their relationship on hold for however long they feel is necessary to figure their shit out -- that's the vibe I got from Stolas in this episode, that he wants Blitzø to step away and leave him alone until they can both say for certain what they want and need from their relationship. (Unfortunately, while Stolas has that level of emotional maturity and self-awareness, Blitzø's not there yet.) - The reveal of Martha and Miss Mayberry was thoroughly unexpected, but a welcome surprise. It might be risky to make paying a visit to IMP's targets a regular fixture of the after-mission routine (Sinners _are,_ after all, _stronger_ than Imps and _much_ harder to kill a second time), but hey, it could be a nice touch if they try it. - Blitzø's repeated attempts to try to find the words to express how sorry he was to Stolas illustrate as clearly as anything how much Blitzø actually _does_ regret what he said and did. It's been discussed before that he's self-taught when it comes to writing, so drafting up apology texts is likely a challenge for him -- but he doesn't go through that kind of hassle for people who aren't worth it to him, and he clearly felt like he needed to do _more_ than just _write_ an apology. Blitzø's going to more trouble to make amends with Stolas than he's done for just about anyone else. - The jack-o-lantern Blitzø ran over was a reference to 'Holidaze', one of Vivienne Medrano's older animation projects. Again, might be worth a watch! - As much as Stolas _really_ doesn't want to be around Blitzø for the time being (and understandably so, honestly), it's pretty clear from his visible discomfort at the overt animosity aimed at Blitzø at the party that _he doesn't _*_hate_*_ Blitzø._ He's _hurt,_ and he wants _space_ and the time to _heal,_ but it's not hard to see that he's still willing to let Blitzø _earn_ another chance. - The costumes and decor at the party are chock-full of jokes and references. I have to give points for the Alex Brightman-inspired Beetlejuice costume, that was an excellent touch. - Blitzø has probably _never_ had as clear a demonstration of how badly he's broken someone's heart as he got by being in the audience for Stolas's song. Stolas was absolutely speaking from the heart, broken as it is, sharing his feelings in a way that he's likely never been able to before -- keeping his eyes closed to keep his anxiety at bay, he was able to help Blitzø see clearly what he really meant to Stolas... and just how _severely_ his actions have messed up Stolas's headspace in a cycle of 'what-ifs' and self-blame (even as Stolas himself was realizing the ways _he'd_ screwed up). For the first time, Blitzø realized how much he'd fucked up, and it _hurt him._ - The liquor-soaked talk between Blitzø and Stolas was *_exactly_* the talk they _needed_ to have the other night, and while it _sucks_ that it's literally a day late and a dollar short, the fact that it was said is a *_major_* first step in both of their journeys to healing. And honestly, Blitzø made some _really good choices:_ he allowed Stolas space, let him take the high ground in the conversation, allowed him to speak without interruption, recognized that Stolas was likely _not_ in the right space for physical contact when he was breaking down (which is *_HUGE,_* and something _so_ many people get wrong!), and when there wasn't anything left to say in the moment, _he let Stolas go._ He's _genuinely improved,_ even if he doesn't _realize_ it yet. - This episode recontextualized a _lot_ of things about Verosika's earlier appearances, but one of the big ones might be her previous mention of Barb, Blitzø's sister. We know they crossed paths in the rehab center, and it seems likely they'd each find out about the other's experience with Blitzø (Barb has the same mark on her forehead that her brother does, and Verosika had his name tattooed on her upper arm); the two of them bonding over the pain they've experienced thanks to Blitzø might've given Verosika the idea to host these parties to help other people he's hurt, and even if Barb's not attending this year's event, it's worth noting that Verosika's wearing her modified mark in her outfit (the emblem on her left leg is the same crossed-out version of the symbol on Barb's forehead). Visual shout-outs to kindred spirits seem like her style, considering she chose to _modify_ the tattoo rather than _remove_ it -- anybody who realizes what it means is probably someone who could use an invite to the next party. - Blitzø's talk with Verosika was the best way to cap off this episode. The party being a form of group therapy, Blitzø's admission that he _realizes_ he's screwed up, is _genuinely_ sorry for it and _wants_ to be better, Verosika giving him unironically good relationship advice despite everything he's put her through (and calling him 'Blitzø' for the first time) before giving him an 'eat your heart out' slice of cake and heading off to start a song about how, even if she's not over what happened between them, she's gotten over _him..._ as bittersweet as the ending was, it's a perfect denouement.

[@Nitrinoxus]

For the moment, at least, I do think Stolas and Blitzø's relationship is over -- _and that's _*_good._* Their original relationship was built on an unsustainable transactional dynamic, one that _needed_ to be ended in order for them to build the kind of equitable, mutually-supportive relationship that Stolas _wants_ and Blitzø _needs._ For _now,_ though, they need to take a break from each other. Stolas was hurt badly by Blitzø's words and actions over the last two episodes, and he needs the time and space to _heal_ from that, as well as to really figure out what he _wants_ from a relationship -- he still doesn't have enough experience with relationships to truly _understand_ his own desires, though he's making strides there; Blitzø, meanwhile, needs to introspect about what he needs to do to be better and recognize the importance of the relationship between himself and Stolas -- Verosika kinda hit the nail on the head when she handed Blitzø the 'heart' of his cake effigy, effectively telling him to 'eat his heart out' (a phrase meaning to pine for something desired but lost or unattainable). Once they've both taken the time to figure their own mess out a little more, they'll be in a better position to reach a place of understanding and mutual support the next time they meet. They can still make this work -- just not right _now._

[@almightytallestvoldy]

Okay I haven’t said anything thought this WHOLE series, because I thought someone would sooner or later, but somehow it still keeps getting missed? Blitzø and the rest of the main cast (aside from the clients of I.M.P.) are all “Hellborn.” They are races that are born, live, and die in Hell, never lived on Earth, and don’t get to go to Heaven in any circumstances. None of them are there for any reason more than like why I was born in Ohio. Like Millie was an example that you kept bringing up as to wondering why she was in Hell, but it’s because her family is there, because she is an Imp. Therefore people do not have the context of a bad life on Earth to explain bad behavior in Hell. It’s only as bad as they choose to make it, so Blitzø SHOULD be held to a higher standard. Hope that clears some stuff up. Love your reactions. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought that sailor dressed Incubus was shooting the slickest pick up line I ever heard, because that’s how I immediately read it, too.

I love your impression at 8:00 It's like an NPC when you spam a negative prompt

[@PurpleHoodie666]

I’m pretty sure some people at this party really are just bitter or wanted an excuse to have a party. I mean, Blitz apparently insulted someone’s sister on her wedding, because he apologized for it? And like, it’s Hell. It’s probably very normal for a stranger to insult you or your family members. But you don’t see parties dedicated to hating everyone who hurt you, and then you see this one party about hating Blitz, and of course you go. He apologized for f*cking someone’s mom, but like, who cares? Did this person really visit this hate-party because they turned out to be a child of the person Blitz slept with? Were they friends with Blitz or something? Exes as well? (Because I assume not everyone here is an ex of Blitz, take Dennis for example). And surely Dennis. Not sure if everyone remembers, not a lot of reaction channels I’ve seen remembered him, but he first met Blitz (Because Blitz didn’t even know his name) at the party in the last episode of season one with Queen Bee, when Loona went to the party and all. He was literally just kidding with Blitz, and then Blitz said “I’m not f*cking a Dennis” and was rude because he didn’t like the name, and moved his hands to “push away” Dennis (He didn’t really even pushed him). And like, yeah, that’s sh*tty, because rude to someone just because of the name, that’s dumb. But to be fair, it’s Hell, not that surprising, AND they both were drunk. Dennis didn’t seem to be very drunk, he was able to speak normally and all, but Blitz was DRUNK AS HECK, he was WASTED. So Dennis apparently visited a party devoted to hating Blitz because… Blitz rudely didn’t agree to sleep with him after kissing while being extremely drunk? Yeah, Dennis, buddy, I don’t think it’s a very valid reason, but yeah okay, party is a party, I get it. What I’m saying, is that Blitz probably didn’t exactly “ruin” the lives of EVERYONE on this party, and not everyone were his ex, and there probably were some bitter and petty demons, or the ones who just wanted an excuse to visit a party. Especially freaking Dennis

[@belovedgamer5792]

It's really interesting cause you can see stolas is trying to get under blitzs skin cause he's doing what everyone who hates bliz does by calling him blitzo instead of blitz and I like that idk why

[@myrkrormr]

I dont know if this has been said, but keep in mind that Verosika is a Succubus. a female sex demon. so she was hurt more than most by Blitz. she, a demon who was born to seduce and lay men, actually fell for someone like Blitz (let herself be vulnerable to the point she actually told blitz she loves him)...only for Blitz to up and basically abandon her with her now open feelings. Yea, its understandable why she has such intense anger toward him

[@LDragon]

28:40 "I'm surprised that Queen Bee isn't here." She catered the event. There's a note from her on one of the craft services tables, next to the cake, that says "Have fun !!!" Y'know, I used to wonder whether the Sins were confined to their specific domains or could visit other rings of Hell ("Mammon's Magnificent Musical Mid-Season Special" answered that question), but now I'm contemplating whether they can leave Hell itself.

[@silentassason]

These past two episodes do kinda make me mad because of how much I relate to Blitzø's inability to accept love in relationships 😅

[@eeveefennecfox]

I don't think I ever noticed this even after watching this episode several tines,the annoying kid is on blitz's list,the annoying kid from the pilot episode? you mean he's in hell somewhere? damn,I wish we got to see his design,that is so funny though XD blitz,you don't need to apologize to that kid,he had it coming to him,the fucking brat

[@ChaoticButterfly]

It's funny you mentioned that Bee wasn't there. If you looked closely in the scene where Verosika says she likes to start at the neck, you can see a note from Bee, saying, "Have Fun!" Suggesting she's in full support of Verosika's party, providing the booze, most likely. Also, imps, succubi/incubi, hellhounds, candleheads, fish demons, loan sharks, the Goetia, etc. are all "Hellborn." They were born in Hell, they aren't sinners. Sinners are only allowed in the ring of Pride (where I.M.P.'s office is), while the Hellborn can traverse all of the rings.

[@heyheyitsjae2475]

18:37 The pumpkin is actually a nod to the Vivzie animation Holidaze When it comes to songs it's probably a bit complicated. Some of the songs get cut down for the episode, like You Will Be Okay and Klown Bitch, but the episodes also have pretty flexible run times.

[@Ofbricks]

So, the idea for Stolas to get the Asmodian Crystal was to undo what was originally from season 1, Quid-pro-quo Sexual harassment. Their entire relationship is rooted entirely on power play on Stolas' part. Even though he had feelings for Blitz-O from the start, he inappropriately used his leverage as one with power to exploit a sexual relationship out of him.

[@Ofbricks]

While Blitz was perfectly fine with this arrangement, once Stolas had feelings for him, he couldn't in good conscience continue the relationship as it is because his power play distorts his perception of whether or not his power is why Blitz is with him, or if it truly is love for him.

[@Ofbricks]

And Blitz's own trauma, being treated like a thing, being sold and tossed around has heavily jaded against affection.

[@FoxMoon89]

And what makes it all so tragic is how inevitable this fallout/misunderstanding was. There's so much personal trauma and false perceptions (Stolas seeing Blitz as confident and unshakable, Blitz seeing himself as unlovable and Stolas as unharmable) involved that communication alone couldn't have prevented it.

[@ixagonczi]

A few points, Blitz straight up SAd (he gave consent after Blitz bit him, not before) Stolas the first time. Stolas tries to back away and Blitz had just said that he kills people for a living now. It is not Stolas fault that it started the way it did. Blitz also does the same thing. He has been following Mox and Millie, stalking them, making inappropriate jokes, masturbated to them (which means that he probably isn't joking with the inappropriate comments) and literally watched them doing it without their consent. Blitz does the power thing all the time by doing this to his employees. They are literally hired by him. Moxie has no family to turn to ask for money and is the laughing stock in the group. He needs his job.

[@Asauria]

the way I see it is a friends with benefits type relationship, where it started off as that but then one of them wanted for them to actually be together type thing. Best way I can describe it. As far as the wanting to earn the 'gift' I can understand that. As someone who has been given a lot of 'gifts' those people would then turn around and tell me I had to earn it or pay them back, and when i didn't I became the bad guy.

[@zairalopez5231]

You are now officially caught up with the main episodes of the show, all that's left is the two shorts. 2:40 It's not THAT weird when you consider his past and, to quote Husker, the gruesome ways in which he's damaged 6:41 Wait...do you not remember Verosika? 13:01 SO CLOSE! 16:12 I feel like this was a huge nod to the shipping community who has shipped those two since day one 18:54 The old man? IT's one of Brandon's characters 21:59 That's the thing, Blitzo lives rent free in all of these people's heads. They haven't moved on at all 22:53 Shameless product placement GO! 24:05 Banger incoming 24:17 So here's one thing that bothers me. This party is supposed to be for Blitzo's exes, so what the fuck is Vortex doing here? I get that he's Verosika's bodyguard but she shouldn't need one in this situation. 27:19 Correct. You didn't notice it when she first showed up in season 1? 28:44 Beelzebub? Why would she be here, she's not one of Blitzo's exes 30:59 Exactly! All these people, they still care in one way or another 33:31 100% this 37:46 Yeah, except he is wrong. Look at Millie and Moxxie. They're in hell, same situation as Blitzo and they're the most wholesome couple ever. 41:15 And thus Blitzo realizes that the one person that belongs in this party more than anyone is him. Because no one hates Blitzo more than Blitzo. I don't know if his relationship with Stolas will ever recover but if it doesn't?At least I hope they remain friends.

[@koopliss]

35:30 Hellborn goat demons (aside from charlie) are called Baphomets and now that you reached the end of the series (for now) here is the info we know about the hellborn demon races: You already know about Imps and Hellhounds, but: Succubus/Succubi: Often are taller than an imp, have usually pink or red skin, non-colored horns and usually has wings. The demons of Lust and are a higher tier demons of hell than an imp or hellhound are, but still low on the totempole so to speak. Baphomets: Goat demons who almost always have a candle on their head. we don't know much about them other than it being heavily theorized that they might be the native demon of Sloth. Unnamed Shark Demons: This demon race has never been named yet, fans call them Loan Sharks, but that's not an official name. They appear to be one of the main demon races of Greed and take influence from any shark species. Possessors: Possessors is a confirmed hellborn demon type, and it's **HEAVILY** believed, but not yet confirmed, that the Possessors are the other fish and sealife-inspired demon we see often in the background (Glitz and Glam from the Mammon episode are believed to be possessors as well.). The sharks and Possessors are confirmed to be two different species entirely, as one of Crimson's mafia members is clearly a shark demon, but was also confirmed to be a hybrid of a Possessor as well, she happens to have similar qualities to a lot of fish demons we've seen, which is why fans believe those to be Possessors. The demons of the Ars Goetia are unique, mostly because they are based on actual mythology, mostly from the lesser key of Solomon/Dictionairre infernal/The Ars Goetia, rather than the standard demon races. The Spider like shopkeeper from the last episode is also currently a total mystery, we can assume the candle shopkeeper was some kind of hybrid with said spider demon though. Seemingly every hellborn species can mix with and create hybrids with each other, we've yet to see a Goetia demon hybrid or a Hellhound hybrid however...

[@Je0rJa]

40:15 hellborn demons such a blitzø actually can't go to heaven! They aren't human souls which means when they die, they die permanently :(

[@LadyHavok70]

40:05 Demons like Blitz and pretty much everyone else in Helluva Boss cannot go to heaven. They are all hell-born species. They never lived life on Earth like sinners have so they had nothing that sent them to hell. Also, they are completely mortal as opposed to the sinners that gain immortality once dead. They live, age, and die in hell if they live long enough to see old age. Imps like Blitz are at the bottom of the social hierarchy in hell. As for Stolas, he is a member of the royal bloodline of the Ars Goetia. He is also hell-born but with magic abilities and special duties passed on to them. He is immortal and stops aging once he reaches a certain age. Demons like him are just below the Morningstar family and the 7 Deadly Sin in social hierarchy and power. Their class divide is a big reason their relationship is so rocky. Blitz only see Stolas on a pedestal and Stolas, only knowing life as a royal, doesn’t not see Blitz’s struggle. He’s nicer than most royals but he still has some the behaviors that his social equals have.

In case no one mentioned it yet, the gift baskets Blitz was handing out weren't wine, but rather cheese and hot sauce, which apparently is a personal snack of Brandon himself (we saw Blitz eating some at the Harvest Moon Festival, and he's also used "Cheese and Hot Sauce" as an expletive before as well). Also, I don't think ALL the people at the party are Blitz' actual literal exes, since Dennis was also there (who Blitz notably declared he wasn't going to fuck at Bee's party), so I think the invitation was more open to people who are holding a personal grudge against Blitz, and not merely his sexual/relationship exes. It's pretty easy to see who among the partygoers were the ones who were really hurt by him, however.

[@ilikespaghetti4458]

Important thing to note: Blitz is an imp which is a hellborn species, he didn't die and go to hell because of dating or anything and he can't be redeemed or go to heaven. Only the sinners were humans before.

[@minadenoro828]

Blitz didn't die, he was born in Hell, like the entire Goetia family, all the imps, succubi, deadly sins, hellhounds and all sorts of similar creatures

[@huntercollins2150]

Every episode after episode 1 has a song in one way or another

[@elenapch9818]

Love your videos! The next episodes are dropping in October, November and December. Meanwhile we’re getting 3 short until October lol

[@williehawkinsii4845]

38:10 they are all born in hell unlike the sinner demons that are sent there

[@Biowoman.]

I always like the detail where when Blitz goes to try and touch Stolas' back when he's crying... that the music is 'dont touch that pretty thing'

[@neilcheeseburger]

Why does dude still think the main cast are humans after watching like 20 episodes?

[@DarcOne13]

Yay! Glad you're caught up! Now we all get to wait for Ghostfuckers together! Also, Blitzø's hellborne, so redemption's off the table.

[@gremalien]

Great reaction!! Might watch the 2 Helluva Shorts next, but I did hear the 3rd one is coming out soon. However the last 3 episodes of the 2nd season come out October, November, December. I believe there will only be 4 seasons of Helluva Boss. The old human guy is one of Brandon Rogers’ characters called Grandpa. Yes he does voice him. Tex is also the voice actor for Asmodeus (Ozzie). Though he was in this episode as Verosika’s bodyguard, I do think they wanted his vocals in the song that Stolas sings. I also agree that they should separate so that when together again they can strengthen their relationship. But I don’t like seeing the passion that Stolas had for Blitzø to die down.

[@sonomifawn8972]

The next one should be out tomorrow! 🥳

[@mariegraetsch1639]

I think you forgot that Blitz is am imp, so he was born in hell. Therefore he didn't die, went to hell and started his business. Also, because of this he can not go to heaven, even if he becomes a good person 💕 Btw I love your reactions

[@LadyLeomon]

Hi Mattables, just found your Channel and am loving your reactions! Something to mention though: you mentioned Blitzø being redeemed right as he turns a corner and becomes a better person? Not gonna happen. Blitzø is a *Hellborn Demon,* he has been in Hell since he was born thus isn’t “eligible” to get into Heaven (I have to wonder if Charlie would be allowed because the child of a Fallen Angel is still angelic?) Thanks for the fun reaction Mattables and go hug your furbabies all 💙🐱💙

[@samanthafitzgibbon8597]

I love how all of Blitz's rivals end up being reasonable. Fizz? Totally cool once things were talked out. Verosika? Totally cool once things are said out loud. Dennis? He sucks.

[@tyler60904]

Blitz didnt "go" to hell because he was a bad person. He was born there. Hes not a sinner.

[@RoxGamingPL4080]

How did i miss this video for 3 days straight ?!

[@dexterthoma867]

Dude, you’ve seen what happened last week you’re ready for this

[@emmaothorell]

I only just now thought of the SYMBOLISM of Verosika giving Blitz the heart from the Blitzo-cake, giving him his own heart. Like, he is heartless, but what she said here got thru to him a little - it gave him some heart back.

[@MetaLatias5]

I think you forgot that there's a difference between Sinners and Hellborn X'D *Sinners* = humans that died and went to Hell; this includes: Martha and Mrs Mayberry, most though not all of I.M.P's clients, most of the characters from Hazbin Hotel (Alastor, Angel Dust, Husk, Vox, Valentino, etc) *Hellborn* = Demons who were born in Hell, they have never lived or died on Earth before and thus were not "sent" to Hell for any reason; this includes: Charlie, the Ars Goetia (including Stolas), all Succubi/Incubi like Verosika, all Hellhounds like Loona and Vortex, all Imps like Blitz, Moxxie, Millie, Fizzarolli, etc, etc

[@CandleLight129]

The worst thing about Verosika's story is the fact that she's a succubus. Her entire existence is lust and seduction, it's part of her very being. Then she meets Blitz and the moment she lets her guard down and actually feels love for someone, maybe for the first time ever, she wakes up the next morning with him missing, her car stolen, and credit cards run up.

[@aaliyahmartinez-yanes2860]

You’re awesome. Love you. I’m here early. Gotta be fast. Yay, good job. Show is awesome man and your content 🥹🥰🥰🥰

[@WannabeVigilante]

For context of what Blitz did to Verosika, after she told him that she loved him, Blitz ran away, stole her car, took a joyride to the Wrath Ring, maxed out her credit cards to pay for horse riding lessons, and left Verosika to pay for the hotel room they shared.

[@Hybrid301]

That is Blitz’s pattern He will actually say something vulnerable and meaningful (e.g. the love ballads and how he hates himself so much) then immediately invalidates it with his immature out burst (e.g “gayest thing I’ve heard all day” and just F you!!”)

[@smolcatdayz9054]

At the Blitzø cake cutting scene, in the background there is a note by Queen Bee for Verosika. Queen Bee supplied the alcohol for her party since Queen Bee is dating Verosika's bodyguard, Tex

[@sonomifawn8972]

Their interaction at the beginning of the episode took me by surprise because I thought they would not even speak to each other for a long while; but I also really liked it; somehow, I feel that I was expecting them to act as characters, and instead they acted like _people_. They'll be fine in the end. But there's so much still going on, the feud between Ozzie and Mammon; the way Stolas gave away his grimoire to a common imp - which will surely bite them both in the ass at some point; the pope army raised by the "men in black"; maybe even the fact that Blitzø is now technically under Asmodeus' jurisdiction? Who knows if his twin is legally in possession of her crystal? And then there's Fizz. I wonder if Ozzie will be accused of something because of all of his meddling with these imps lives? Well we'll see, I'm happy we can look forward watching it all unfold together 😄

[@rayne.2944]

35:24 Am I the only one that noticed the gluttony demon he's talking about hitting the boooong there looks like Velma from scooby do...and her tail is wearing scoobys collar....?

[@tmanknoll9702]

Looks like you overlooked this, but the effigy of blitz they are burning in the backyard is actually just an IRL picture of the stuffed blitz they sell photoshopped into the video as a easter egg.

[@KeiVisual]

Verosika litterally said "Eat your heart out" by giving him that cake.💅

[@morfy42]

The video had 666 likes when I got it here and I almost hate to add another one, alas. Helluva journey we've been on, who knows where we'll go next.

[@kinremnant4616]

46:50 Is that the poodle demon that Luna knows because that would be Interesting. Just because we got no real clues about her except maybe being in same "dog shelter?"46:50

[@Moonchild0]

42:44 Most of the music is written by Sam Haft (from The Living Tombstone). He also writes for Hazbin Hotel!

[@richardch.4356]

A entire damn party dedicated to hating one person is damn a lot ☠️

[@Ofbricks]

33:40 - It feels like Degrassi, The Next Generation.

[@9elypses]

Matt, from the bottom of my heart I hope you cant understand what I'm about to say but.. anyone can give a gift to anyone else and thats all well and good and the reciever should normally use the gift, however, a gift can be given to someone with immense self hatred and when you give gifts to someone like that you'll need to pretend there's a large, angry, invisible monster behind them that will not actually let them recieve your gift. Its weird, when you hate yourself for so long you need to learn to give yourself permission to have things like gifts and people who care about you. Those things are obviously physically there but self hatred cuts you off from those things being "yours". Nothing is "yours" when you hate yourself that much and for so long except for every single mistake you've ever made. So in that case someone who hates themselves may not even believe the gift is theirs. They may display it when you're around or place it somewhere specific but they won't ever see it as their own thing until they either use it by accident and break the spell or you have to make them use it in the most polite and gentle way possible. I know it sounds really weird but sometimes people hate themselves so hard they don't even let themselves have presents and worst of all sometimes it makes them feel the need to "earn" things the person already has they just don't believe they're worthy of it so why would they have it? It's a really bizarre way of thinking once you get healthy but when you're in it its a freaking nightmare.

[@hithere3293]

Great video as always 🩷 Also, would you consider maybe reacting to something like the owl house/ gravity falls/ over the garden wall/ nimona/ she ra (2018 version) etc

[@marithflugelhorn7352]

+1 vote for Nimona! It's a movie, not a series, so it wouldn't be a major time commitment, and it's AWESOME.

[@vincentlegacy]

Stolas seems to be forgetting all of the times he’s looked down on Blitz and made things “all about sex.”

[@dudatrov4315]

PLEASEEE WATCH GRAVITY FALLS NEXT!!! ❤❤ YOUR GOING TO LOVE ITTTT

[@happyagony.7644]

I dont think blitz can be redeemed since he was born in hell, he's not a sinner. Blitz ending up in heaven would be an interesting turn tho.

[@szaman3209]

Btw Mattables, there are also Helluva Boss shorts, will you react to it?

[@szaman3209]

28:48 Beelzebub

[@richardkutsera4992]

Also, no Hellborn demons are not inherently shitty (see Charlie), and they cannot be redeemed and go to Heaven. They are not Sinners that would get to be judged. Imps like Blitz do not even have an immortal soul. He lives a short life, dies, and he is gone, completely, forever

[@magne7771]

Verosika is the best Gotta love a girl with a _temper_

[@user-mt8ys7uk6t]

Sorry i'm late, power's been out and youtube didn't want to keep me updated

[@McCammalot]

Hang on. Is Stolas actually so large (if thin) that he is genuinely knocking down things in the party/clothing check room? After apparently MANY times of this clip, I'm *hearing* it but not *seeing* it. (19:26)

[@JALZEN_]

It took until this ep for people to actually realize Stolas is a hypocrite -A full time Stolas hater

[@Z-one1000]

How exactly is he a hypocrite???

[@gabriellecteur4234]

There is still some short episode of helluva boss you didn't react to. And I feel like the most recent one would be interesting to see 😂

[@Sm-katus]

He cant Go to heven He IS a hell borne all imp's are Hell borne. In fact, only the sinners come from earth.

[@mrgrs]

There are 2 more mini-episodes

[@MakoimS]

To comment to your intro, honestly, you’re just cute/adorable and all of the above

[@MakoimS]

Also you do heavily resemble the sexy succubi that dances with Stolas

[@Z-one1000]

Are you going to do the Helluva shorts?

[@shardinhand1243]

38:30 you would be right, if everyone here were not born in hell, all imps hellhounds and other demons and such like succubuss are all native to hell, they did nothing to be sent there, they grew up there, only sinners, human souls would fit your idea, and there are non at this party becuase atleast thus far it hassint been confirmed they can ever leave the pride ring in hell. and remember, this party is happining on earth.

[@Ofbricks]

34:55 - Literally me...3-5 days a week.

[@taydeuze]

34:25 nah man, dont sell yourself short, he looks just like you

[@angelmar19182]

blitz was born in hell just like loona, millie and moxie, verosika was also born in hell, they are not sinners and cannot be redeemed

[@DETERNET]

I am looking forward to your Helluva Shorts reactions especially Mission Antarctica,
