What did y'all think of the episode? and check out the pilot I was in!

It was Magnificent ! Loved the songs!
GREAT
I loved it

Girl it looks shit icl
I really like the fact that Fizzy knowing sign language basically confirms that his vocal cords were burned too (hence his raspy voice) and that he was unable to speak for a significant amount of time after the incident
Agree, because he did it so effortlessly. Like he had a LOT of practice.
I love how this sort of details actually means something in a show.
I never thought of that!! But it makes a lot of sense- Mind if I use that as a headcanon for Fizz?
Idk i don't really buy that theory, because surely adjusting to using robitic limbs would take longer than recovering his voice...
Maybe he learned it due to deafness. Like, the explosion had to be pretty loud...
I’m not denying it but I’m not exactly agreeing with it. Hey could have learned ASL for other reasons such as the interaction he has with the kid.
The fact Blitz sees through Mammon’s bullshit but doesn’t want to ruin the magic for Fiz is so relateable.
Yh I noticed how he worded his answer when Fizz asked if he thinks he'll win the competition (not that he was wrong).
Blitzø: We have "Money grubbing piece of shit father figure" at home
@@AzariahMarinaStarcaster quite literally, since Blitzø's dad was such a trashbag lmao
Whoever in the writers room said "drop the dirty jokes and let's get serious" deserves literally everything
and the person that came with the top joke at the very end deserves a raise
@@ojamaftk9585 the whole episode was paced perfectly imo, and the timing of that joke was awesome! /pos
I actually liked Blitz being in this episode, not only does he get to re-establish his friendship with Fizz but he's also a witness to an healthy relationship. That of an imp and a Deadly Sin, showing him that not all royals are in it for the kink but also for the real thing.
I was worried we'd have a big reconciliation between these two, only for it to not get mentioned for several episodes leaving us to wonder what their new relationship is like after the talk.
I was so happy Blitzo was in this episode just to show us what the new vibe is. Also not sure why the reviewer thought that Blitzo and Fizz's relationship was hunky dory in this episode. It was clearly better, but Fizz was upset Asmodias invited him. They were on good terms, but not like everything was swept aside. This episode have Blitzo the opportunity to talk some sense into Fizz and defend him some psycho fans, which helps cement their new relationship further. This was the perfect opportunity to weasel in more growth between their new friendship without making it the main subject of the episode.
I just realized that Fizz's dressing room mirror looked like Mammon and so when Blitz shot the toxic fan and broke the mirror, he was symbolically freeing Fizz from both.
@@Tijopi11- agreed!! I felt like it also showed that As at least sees Blitz as a good advisor and potential friend and is trusting him, so while Fizz might be understandably slower it shows that there’s potential there. Asmodius is super protective of Fizz and I think his interaction with both Blitz and Fizz is telling of where they’re relationship is and is a way to show, not tell, that it’s still rocky but headed for greener pastures
Yes to everything in this thread!
I'm pretty sure they set Fizz up as somebody for Blitzø to get his head straightened out by after the inevitable Stolitz-meltdown next episode.
After only episode 6, that would not really have worked for me as, yes, they talked about their insecurities of dating "above their class", but it was also made clear that Fizz is in a much better place relationship-wise, which would make it nigh impossible for Blitzø to confide in him comfortably.
In episode 7 however, he saw that Fizz is NOT so above it all, and that some traits stuck with him ever since they were teens together - which shows that you can find and deserve happiness, even if you haven't outgrown all your demons.
Moreover, he got to help him with that, which (in Blitzøs mind) would put them on more even footing again.h
I got to give props to Alex Brightman for his phenomenal performance as fizz in this episode, it genuinely blew me away.
Exactly, Fizz instantly became my 3rd favorite character in 2 episodes
honestly his voice acting has genuinely done so much for the character i can't really imagine another actor doing fizz anywhere near the same amount of justice as alex has. really amazing
EXCELLENT WORK. SARCASTIC CHORUS HELLUVA BOSS SEASON TWO EPISODE SEVEN REVIEW 👌
Oh that's why he sounds so much like Beetlejuice lol
And the *singing*. The whole performance was on point, start to finish.
I personally feel that Fizz's small interaction with his deaf fan is what gives him the motivation to have kept going for as long as he did. Like a reminder that some of his fans arent fucking creeps and weirdo's but people who were inspired just like he was. Just the pure joy he actually had with that one kid
Same, that moment made me cry a little because Fizz definitely felt like it was for those people that made it worth to stick around.
There was love and admiration that the kid felt for him but it wasn't a thirsty kind of love, a genuine pure affection which warmed his heart and helped him keep going/know that it's still worth it because there's genuine people among the sick ones.
I really loved that interaction.
@@cheese-and-ricemooney7487 yeah, 100%
I agree, I almost teared up in that. Seeing him so anxious about meeting his fans only to relax seeing the kid made me smile.
Something you didn't speak about but I thought was also completely fire, you can definitely see the differences in the girls and Fizz's performances. The girls sang about money, selling themselves, calling the fans "pigs" and quite literally flying above everyone, where as Fizz sings about something the fans can relate to, goes into the crowd, bringing it to their level and speaks to the kid directly. You can tell when an artist loves their craft and tho Fizz has every right to hate his boss, you can see the love of performing and the real fans, not the creepy dude
Not only that but you could also see the twins as a dark reflection of what Fizz has become. He took the job to further hone and share his craft to the world and inspire future clowns to do it for the art. And like you said the twins don’t really care about the art, they only care about the money and fame, essentially the perfect brand for Mammon
So true😮
Considering how parts of the fandom have behaved, I feel like viv was also exorcising some personal demons with this episode
She deserves to. The more toxic side of the fandom need to take this as a note to 'cool your shit'.
I appreciate her perspective more because of it tbh it was raw
That awkward moment when Fizz and Ozzie have better character development than Millie and Loona.
LITERALLY ITS SO SAD CAUSE I LOVE THE BOTH OF THEM (ESP MILLIE)
We only saw Fizz and Ozzie for two episodes and they are already the best and healthiest couple in this show
Damn
Thankfully we get Millie EP this season I think, with her fam?
@@ASTROHOOI think we get an Millie ep in season- or even season 3 at last 😭
The scene with Fizz and the kid warmed my cold, unfeeling heart.

@@adamk-paxlogan7330 no, they were right.
@@valentinkambushev4968 Best to ignore. What a sad pathetic excuse of an existence.
"cold unfeeling heart" shut the hell up you're probably a ~~14 year old who thinks they're edgy and mysterious
Fizz summoning Ozzie like a flippin’ jojo Stand was the funniest part tbh
Summoning Jutsu! XD
This episode basically confirms that Ozzie wasn’t the weakest sin like Crimson said last episode. He was willing to fight Mammon for Fizz and Mammon had to resort to trying to exploit their secret before running away. Crimson must’ve just been referring to him being the weakest sin cause he had that secret which is now completely moot.
Totally. But I think he might also be referring to the fact that out of the sins, Lust would be the least harmful thus less influential. That is, while it IS a bad, and even dangerous sin compared to the rest it probably doesn't have much impact in the hierarchy of the princes.
Probably would lead to him being demoted or have less power/influence by Lucifer, seeing as him being public with a low class being would lead to demons and sinners calling hypocrisy and later a lack of respect for the princes.
That doesn’t mean that Ozzie isn’t the weakest, he could have been caught up in the heat of passion. Also, the fact that Mammon defaults to extortion is in character, and not necessarily proof that he’s weaker in a fight.
I personally think Crimson just considers Asmodeus the weakest sin because he knows of the relationship between Ozzie and Fizz, therefore thinking of Ozzy as a sissy compared to the others.
We actually still don't know if his words are true or not; it might just be crimson believing that due to how lust isn't typically considered the strongest or worst sin compared to the others and just assuming or if he thinks Ozzie loving Fizz as a weakness (which doesn't make sense as Bee is dating a hellhound).
You also have to remember Luna picking a fight with Bee until she transformed, which reminded her who she was dealing with, and she backed off. The heat of the moment thing is also plausible, and I can see Ozzie willing to fight Mammon, weaker or not, if he was threatening Fizz. After all, love makes you do stupid things.
I think it is more likely they are all of rather equal power, minus Lucifer, who is obviously the strongest, and his family. Though I can see Mammon as being stronger than Ozzie just by the simple fact that Mam embodies his sin to a freaking T! He revels in it, not to mention how many people consider greed to be one of the worst sins to have, and that could easily correlate to power. Just because Mammon backed off doesn't mean he would not have been able to beat Ozzie; more likely, it isn't in his personality to fight as he likes to exploit people, not brawl, and he is of equal status to Ozzie, so if anyone was able to ruin Ozzie's image or be able to get back at the two, it would be him. I think that is a reason they brought another sin as an antagonist, as who could go against Ozzie? rarely anyone.
I think it is highly likely that Mammon would not have an easy win if Ozzie and him fought. I think Ozzie knew this, as he only stepped in ready to fight once it looked like he was going to attack Fizz. Before that, he was just trying to get Fizz to quit.
I wonder if it's similar to chainsaw man's devil system were the more someone fears it the stronger the devil, like maybe the more lustful people are the stronger he gets
"Two Minutes Notice" was probably the biggest slapper since "House of Asmodeus," and "Crooked" was the first time I genuinely cried while watching a cartoon in years.
Kudos to the team for cranking out epic music, it makes the entire series.
Notice too that it was more of an acoustic piece like Moxie and Millie's love song. Drawing even more attention to their hypocrisy.
@@horrorfan117It's not like they're really hypocritical, Moxxie came to sex club and started to sing about love, they were 100% right.
Best sight gag ever: When Mammon says women aren't funny, "Written by: Vivienne Medrano" pops up in the comer for a split second. Just something funny.
Does that imply that Viv is a narcissist and thinks she's funny?
@@adamH.1your over thinking it
@@adamH.1what???
@@adamH.1 The joke is that he said "Women cannot be funny" while being written by a woman. That's the joke. Do you get the joke? Do I have to explain it harder?
I didn't notice it on the first viewing but when I did, it absolutely slayed me
I love that Blitz already has a money grubbing father so he was quick to pick up on the red flags immediately. But he didn't want to crush his bestfriend/crush's dreams, so he just let him have his fanboying back then
What makes Fizz's anxiety around his fans more realistic is that it's very similar to his VA Alex Brightman's own anxiety with his fame and why he's a very private person. (From what I hear)
😮 oh, I didn't know that.
I find it funny how recently the show has been focusing more on Ozzie and Fizz instead of the original main couples of the show.
honestly based. Ozzie and fizz are way more compelling than most of the other couples tbh
@@gbearcham187tbh agreed
@@lucanusafrost it was only 2 episodes chill bro
I’m think it’s going to be important to the Stolas and Blitzo dynamic though.
I assume Viziepop must be feeling inspired by the dynamic
Man, I loved that Deaf fan scene. I'm an ASL student and it always makes my day to see Deaf people and sign language represented in so many cartoons lately. It's a double gut-punch when Fizz is also disabled, and it's just disability solidarity. I like to imagine Fizz learned sign language after he lost his limbs, because he wanted to make it easier on another disabled person if he ever came across them. He understands how hard it can be.
Edit: I kind of read it as the contest only starting 10 years ago, or maybe Fizz had a loss prior and then that start his 10 year streak. That makes the timeline easier for me.
He might’ve learnt sign language after the circus fire explosion which most definitely damaged his throat and ears pretty badly 😢
Was the sign language accurate? I figure it was but I'm just curious
@@jubileebaby0 i imagined he might've temporarily lost his hearing. maybe he's even still a bit hard of hearing.
@@EtamirTheDemiDeer i’m not fluent, but I know enough to hold like a semi decent conversation and it looked OK. If there any mistakes I couldn’t catch it.
@@jubileebaby0he lost his limbs
My friend and i discussed the five year gap and she thought that maybe Fizz won the first contest and his bday was also a farewell party, hence why Blitzø was both upset and trying to confess before he went away to stardom, only for the accident to happen and Mammon seeing "rising star recovers" as neon cash lights while Fizz recovered, adding "i literally made you" to the list of pressure on Fizz when he foots the rebuild bill by getting Ozzy the "master builder" to personally oversee Fizz's recovery. Then, they fall in love; Ozzy calls him inspiring, and what's more inspiring than a survivor literally and figuratively putting themselves vack together? Thus why Ozzy knows how to repair Fizz as well, having originally built his parts and helped him heal and addinf another layer to the cake of Fizz feeling like Mammon is everything and withiut him Fizz is nothing, making Mammon the literal reason Ozzy and Fizz are together as indicated by Fizz's lines in the dressing room. It was all so interesting to watch and my heart is happy with their sappy, sweet, kind of cringe moment singing together 😂
Honestly that makes a lot of sense
wow thats a really good theory. makes total sense
Mammon is also probably the reason Fizz and blitz didn’t see each other after the accident
This might as well be Canon at this point, even because there was someone actively keeping them distant and adding fuel to the complicated friendship, it makes sense if that was Mammon
That makes a lot of sense
i'm noticing whenever brandon rogers is involved in writing the episodes are damn good and have a great tone balance, dude's really good at it
I know Mammon is based on Spiders for his design, but I was also getting serious tick vibes as he drained the joy and talent out of Fizz.
Also, so happy they finally admitted to Fizz and Ozzie not being super comfortable with the explicitly for sex Fizz bots.
Spiders?
I thought he was a crab
@@juicebox7372it’s hilarious Mammon is a spider bc Australia 🇦🇺
At the end where he grew longer and scurried around gave me centipede vibes
@@juicebox7372 Webs are shown in this video. Behind the stage: 3:34 On the ceiling: 3:50
*💥 NEXT LINES ARE SPOILERS FOR THE EPISODE💥*
During Fizzs final song, "2-minute notice" (I think thats the name), Mammon is see sitting on a web with 2 other fizz bots.
Mammon also has multiple eyes on his head when he transforms after Fizzs song.
Everything about him reminds me of a chelicerate, he is like a tick, fat, eigth legged n all, and when he transforma hes like a sea scorpion, with long body and smaller front arms
I’ll never get over Alex Brightman voicing Fizz. When I heard his voice in Loo Loo Land, I was sure it was going to be a one episode thing. Then in Ozzie’s he was still there and I was pleasantly surprised. And in every single appearance since then it’s still been him.
I love Alex Brightman so much and am so glad he’s been staying with this project. From how good his vocal performance is, I can only imagine how much fun he’s having with this.
alex brightman is the PERFECT person for fizzarolli's character specifically, his broadway experience and his ability to do the Beetlejuice Voice without destroying his vocal cords is literally a perfect tie in with fizz's vocal damage from the fire and his (former) job as a performer. i love that brightman gets to use the voice even after he left the musical and i love fizz so its a win win here
if i had nickel for everytime Alex Brightman played a sad, horny, demon, i'd have 2 nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

I think Blitzø being a bystander to Fitz and Ozzy's story is important for Blitzø. I think it'll come up later as being a critical influence on him and that's why it's important for him to be there.
Exactly my feelings. It may not be important to Fitz at this moment. But its important for blitz as he's reconnecting to someone he lost from before.
As someone who has taken 3 years of ASL classes, is currently in the middle of another one right now, and has dreams of possibly becoming an ASL interpreter one day, the scene with Fizz and the kid absolutely warmed my heart so much!! Seeing that representation is amazing!! :)
It is so great to see sign language animated as well. It takes a lot of skill to do that. It is a beautiful language.
Of all the things from this episode I keep thinking about Mammon’s warning, what exactly did he mean when he said Ozzie is gonna regret exposing himself and his relationship with Fizz?
Also I gotta call BS on the whole clown competition in this episode cause I remained convinced from beginning to end that Mammon was planning to chuck Fizz to the curb whether he won or not and replace him with those Sisters, the only reason he was p!$$ed by Fizz quiting is because he couldn’t get the satisfaction of firing him
Mammon is one of the seven beings who control Hell, and it seems like he and Ozzie never had a good relationship. I don't know what he might do, but it will definitely be something awful, like asking the other sins to take his power away and make someone else as the sin of lust.
I think he'll snitch on Lucifer which will get Oz harassed by the other overlords and princes
Guess its about his brand? i mean, he is the embodiment of lust and talked shit about how stolas was having an affair with an imp, and now he is doing the same thing, but its more about his hipocrisy than status (since beelzebub is with a hellhound and no one seems to care)
@@kermyn3165 I think it's more about Oz being all "love is stupid" while also being all fluffy with Fizz.
@@hesbuiltdifferentWell, at least I already know that one of the scents is going to be apathetic to him

On the topic of Viv’s interactions with creepy fans. I remember on the hunnicast, she mentioned that one of her fans showed up at her graduation and now I’m thinking she probably drew on that experience a lot here
Never would've thought Fizz was gonna be Viv's spirit animal
Funny, SpindleHorse had a stalker who had a disturbing hyperfixation on Vivziepop & tried to hire some of the animators to work for him (I don't remember his name, he had so many fake names/personas).
That's so creepy, why would anyone do that??

@@rafaelrivera7594 he is and i didnt know how to spell his name
@@user-tc8kp1qh6c well now you do its Mammon thats it but that mf is indeed a christmas tree especially the suit he had on the begining
15:20 There is a moment when Blitz helps Fizz during a panick attack, it's a small genuine way of saying "I care" if there were more moments like these I think it would have justified Blitz's pressance
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought blitz being there was a bad decision
Blitz was definitely justified being there. Fizz needed as much people rooting for him as possible to make this story line work. So an old childhood friend still having some sort of feelings for him and fighting for him just like in the old days was certainly an element that made the whole story and it's end-twist work.
I think the reason he was there is for buildup for when he finally has his talk with Stolas. Him seeing Fizz and Ozzie's relationship working out is setup for him and Stolas to fix theirs. I wish they made that more obvious, tho. He definitely didn't do much this episode
Tbh I feel him being there was more than justified. Bodyguard and blowing Creepzo's head aside, Blitz can provide support in a way Ozz cant rn, since Fizz will see Ozz as "biased" because he loves him, so someone like Blizt, that doesnt really holds prisioners when he speaks would be a more effecfive support rn
Also, as someone else saidn Fizz just needs as many people on his side as possible, and Blitz can intervene directly unlike Ozz until the end
And from Blizt's side, it helps him understand Asmodeus trully loves Fizz, so his idea of "upper class demons dont love our kind" is challenged, which in the future helps with Stolas
@@DishonorableMentions452 I don't think it was a bad decision. I enjoyed Blitz in this ep, I just think there should have been a few more little moments like these
Couple things: I will always love the use of color in this show compared to Hazbin's more red leaning scheme. The colors are so bright and vibrant, and I love whenever she switches up the palette like how she did during Cotton Candy in Bee's episode. The Twins' song was honestly incredible, and the laugh and switch up to warm tones honestly kind of reminded me of a moment in Arcane when Jinx does that same jump and landing during a fight with the Firelights. The animation overall in this episode was just incredible. Really up there with Bee's episode.
I LOVED the impact line moment when Ozzie appeared behind Fizz that was....GOD tier good. And I love the fact that despite everything that happened at his club, Oz and Blitz are legit chill with each other, it shows that not all sins are about that "let's make everyone else's life miserable." life and it's refreshing. I truly wonder what the endgame will be for the show, because it seems to be pitting anyone associated with Blitz against others in Hell. Now that Asmodeus is officially kind of part of Blitz's crew, it'll be interesting to see where things go for him here.
Blud really wrote a paragraph 😂
With a little work, the IMP crew might also become buddy buddy with Bee, which will get them two of the sins on their side.
@@valentinkambushev4968I can definitely see that. Bee seems pretty chill
I really like when they switch the color schemes too! It's a nice way to highlight what ring they're currently in
With the pace we're going we can assume there's gonna be some big thing involving all the sins at some point; we've seen 3 out of 7, with 2 of those being chill (Bee seems like a genuine good person and since Tex likes Loona she's more likely to take the IMPs side if ever comes to it) and 1 being a complete asshole.
Brightman's performance during Fizz's panic attacks was absolutely amazing, I feel like he's a really slept on highlight of the show, for me at least
This episode did a really good job cementing Fizz as Blitzs reflection. With two sins representing what his relationship could be as well as what Blitz fears that it is. Down to the emotional turmoil Fizz is feeling being the exact same inadequacy that haunts Blitz. Great thematic story telling.
I mean, despite Blitz not doing much, I think when you are in a situation like Fizz having multiple people telling you that what you are going through is terrible for you helps. It makes it harder to dismiss those observations. Plus it's nice that Fizz more than just Ozzie as his support system. That he has more than 1 person on his side, regardless of his fame.
Agree and Ozzy made it happen because he listens to Fizz whenever he mentioned his past and remembers and cares enough to know why he needed to involve Blitz in this case.
@@MeloraCarabas Exactly! Just because Blitz didn't play a huge role in this episode in narrative he had an important part to play in Fizz wakeup call. In helping him leave Mammon's bs behind. Not to mention possible future payoffs.
@@MeloraCarabas Yeah! Sure, Blitz didn't have as huge moment as Ozzie to convince him out of Mammon situation. BUT Fizz couldn't play “it's just you” card. Especially when Fizz knows Blitz ain't the type to cuddle him up the way Ozzie does. So it made it harder to act like they both just worry too much over nothing as they echo the same: words, worries and observations.
Mammon was a highlight in this episode for me. His humor, design and overall shittyness fits him so well. His true form or smth is also very fitting, being a centipede.
I thought he was a spider? With the web and manipulation
@@poenpotzu2865 Definitely a spider having fizz caught in his web
I was going to say I got more spider. But also like...a tick? Sucking the life from Fizz
Yeah he's definitely a spider he literally sits in a web
@@poenpotzu2865 He def looked like a spider but there was a short scene where he kinda elongated which made him look more like a centipede
The thing with Mammon warning Ozzie of the reveal of their relationship is most likely a 'weakness' kinda thing. Because now people know Ozzie has a weakness. And it could potentially be exploited, as we saw previously with Fizz's kidnapping
I personally read Blitz's presence in this case as being a necessary representation of Fizz's non-romantic, Non-professional support system. As someone who also struggles with trauma and anxiety, knowing you have someone who is not romantically or financially invested in you, especially following such a huge breakthrough, is extremely important.
I agree with the fact that Blitz felt like he could have not been in the episode, at some points I saw him pop up and I was like "oooh right, you're here as well" I completely filtered him out. But at the end I thought about it, Blitz being here and having Ozzie reach out to him and see him help made me realise that this would be the extra help to consider giving Stolas the crystal for Blitz (I know that at the end of Oops after Fizz told him to give it to him he said sure but I think it would make sense for him to not be 100% on board with just handing over the crystal that easily, like he'd need some kind of proof). Overall this episode was amazing, seeing properly Fizz's broken horns had me sobbing
Also it was the element of Asmodeus having the insight that Fizz needed the extra emotional support of having an old childhood friend fighting for him just like in the old days. It shows both how Blitz is serious about supporting Fizz and how Ozzy cares enough about knowing and understanding what Fizz has been through.
"Oops" was the episode to give Stolas the hope for their relationship he needed to take the next step
This episode was that for Blitzø
As someone who knows ASL, the scene where Fizz was talking to the kid literally made me tear up a bit 😭
Same, at that point I just started weeping
Mammon’s voice casting is perfect
also the sign language scene was so dang wholesome
the line blitz throws near the end about ozzie and fiz being hipocrates makes his pressence in the entire episode worth it for me, i think viv is subtly making him put some pieces of his puzzle together by existing alongside fiz for a couple of episodes, slowly laying down the ground work for him eventually being ok with stolas and his relationship
Season 2 has been on the quality redemption train ever since episode 6. Every time Fizz and Ozzie show up the episodes are bangers. I wonder what their plans for Mammon are for future episodes.
FIZZ AND OZZIE ARE NUMBER ONE WHOLESOME COUPLE
You pointed out something important that I didn't notice! I forgot that Fizz didn't have a father, so that's why it was easy for Mammon to manipulate him and call him "the son he never had"
The last two episodes have been absolute bangers. I thought the picture of Fizz and Blitzø as teens in S1E7 was just to show they were friends. I didn't think we'd see that exact concert. That is such good foreshadowing!
The stalker reminds me of a story Alex Brightman talked about a while back… he received a death threat on Instagram when he was doing a show and it really messed with him. He got a message of a girl threatening his life with a picture showing half her face and the place was in front of the theater where he was about to perform a two day show. I’m hope he’s doing fine now. I also hope Alex didn’t get any bad flashbacks with this episode.
As someone else with an anxiety disorder or just general social anxiety, man the throat tightening hits home. Plus I knew how Fizz felt way too well. He’s def my favorite character of the show now alongside Asmodeus
Same here, I can perform on stage no problem but interacting with people makes me anxious
@@midnights2631Makes sense. People suck. I worked in a restaurant were I was known for being being very outgoing and entertaining with the customers, but as soon as I clocked off and went outside, I had my headphones on and interacted with no one unless I knew them personally. My coworkers were all shocked to learn I have pretty bad social anxiety.
This is honestly my favorite episode so far too. I don’t have any shame saying I cried twice during it; once during the part where Fizz was using ASL to talk to the kid and Fizz and Ozzie’s heart to heart with each other. It’s so good 🥺
Blitz needed to be in the beginning, otherwise it doesn't show how close they were. Especially with Blitz protecting Fizz from Creepzo and showing the difference between their opinions on Mammon.
The reason for Adult Blitz being there is likely the same as Stolas in Ep 6 with Ozzie, for them both to see true love between an Imp and a Royal. Last Ep Blitz only knew that Fizz and Oz were doing the deed, it's likely setting up for "The Full Moon" episode where we'll finally see Stolitz collide for a make-up or a break-up. Going by Vivz hints on Twitter/X, it could be break.
They portrayed panic attacks so well in this episode Iove the recent awareness and portrayel I've been seeing with things like panic attacks and anxiety disorders lately
Ted Lasso is easily the one that comes to my mind in panic attacks
Helluva boss has never been bad, but these last two episodes were truly awesome
As a huge fan, it definitely has been bad. Season two up until the previous episode sucked hard ass, as well as Vivzie simply not knowing how to draw female characters. I'm so glad this season is starting to redeem itself again
@@izzee9900 I don't think Season 2's first half was bad, but it was quite a huge downgrade compared to Season 1 so I'm glad the two last eps were as great as they were, I hope they keep this level of quality for the rest if season 2.
So far for me it was
1: good
2: ok
3: good
4: ok
5: horrible
6: great
7: great
I couldn't even finish episode 5 but the rest of the season was decent if a little underwhelming
No
The first half of the second season is really bad. It's okay if you like it your taste is the most important thing, but it's really painful to watch.
@@izzee9900Wdym Viv can’t draw female characters? I thought her female characters were pretty good
Honestly all things considered I enjoyed that when Fizz was having a hard time or sometimes couldn’t focus properly there was always someone there to remind him to continue or when to stop. In order for him to be happy.
Fizz not getting prosthetics for his horns sounds like a Mammon control method. A simple head pat or hat adjustment to remind Fizz of what happened and to keep him quiet.
Honestly, I appreciate having Blitzø around this episode. He decides not to kill that fav initially to focus on Fizzaroli he saw Fizz was having a panic attack and made sure Fizz was ok. I'd say Fizz needed Blitzø this episode.
5:52 - When Ozzy and Mammon squared up, I was HYPED for a big Deadly Sin kaiju battle-style fight with magic and fire everywhere, and was slightly disappointed when Mammon slithered away like the greedy creepy man-snake-grub he is. But also hyped when Ozz said he loved Fizz out loud.
Also, I JUST NOTICED THE DEAF FAN'S BROKEN HORNS! AAAAAH! THAT MAKES THAT SCENE SO MUCH CUTER! I almost wish they'd leveraged that in the story, someone to help comfort Fizz when he was having a panic attack, or when he was doubting himself, or something. Kid could be an absolute fan favorite with how cute and how similar the two are.
-They're both disabled (Deaf and cute, and broken and using prosthetics).
-They both have broken horns.
-They both know sign language, probably out of necessity, now that I think about it. Fizz probably couldn't talk for a good while after the accident, so sign language probably became a necessity.
I just realized, while we know Fizz and Blitzø's burn marks are white colored, this episode shows that he isn't using make up, *_his entire face is burned up_*
His entire body is burned up, not just his face.
@@ravenhurst96 I know, I'm just specifying because it looks like he uses some kind of make-up like a normal clown, but nope - his face is burned up
Honestly it's funny how Mammon pulls the whole "son I never wanted shit" with Fizz given that's what Blitzo's dad did in the episode 6 flashback.
I adore how flashback fizz and present day fizz have very different voices, probably indicating that the fire messed with his voice box, and that's when he learned sign language
And the Fizzie using sign language for the kid and how the kid wanted ta be like his role model was the breather it was short but heart warming
10:12 the difference is that Syndrome is incredibly intelligent. Even as a kid, he was able to make advanced pieces of technology. If Bob was smart, he would have recruited Buddy so he could make equipment for him.
As someone who had to have a "I won't be extending my contract further" talk last Friday with a shit line manager for a job where I was constantly overworked or expected to make decisions way above my position, but had to make sure I ended the contract amicably, Fizz's 2-minut notice (fuck you) song was the catharsis I didn't know I needed. I got chills
I like to think that fizz being able to sign comes from his recovery from the explosion when he probably had to learn it since his vocal cords and eardrums were damaged.
Congratulations to Mammon for being the first Prince of Hell to actually be a jackass.
Asmodeus is both reasonable as well as surprisingly wholesome.
Beelzebub is a party mom who genuinely cares about the wellbeing of her guests.
We've seen Lucifer but haven't met him so he's still up in the air.
But Mammon is just a straight up greedy bastard.
Lol, being a "greedy bastard" is kinda on-brand for him though, so... 😂
Feels good to FINALLY have a villain/antagonist that actually feels like a threat
Hopefully he doesn't get pushed to the side or over shadowed by ANOTHER new villain
They made Striker into an absolute joke
I’m wondering when he’ll show up again
His a sin, his a big character to the lore... of course his a big deal and wouldn't be push to the sideline, maybe
@@adamH.1they made his personality a joke,he is still a giant threat that i.m.p don't stand a chance against him
I really liked the moment where Blitzø sniped the hound that grabbed onto him during Fizz’s song. Both Ozzy and Blitzø helped him during his final performance, that alone was good enough reason for him to be there to me. And he tried to emotionally support him during the whole thing, and it was nice to here him call out Mammon’s crap the Blitzø way.
Fizzies "Fuck You" song hit hard with me.
"I have taken shit
Been crushed under your heel."
It reminded me of a toxic relationship I was in for 2 years. Constantly feeling trapped and couldn't escape.
"I have lost myself
I have worshipped at your feet."
I always had to take the blame and defend him for his behavior when he angered my friends. I'm glad I am out of there, and I am happy Fizz did the same thing.
The scene where Fizz used sign language to talk to a fan was so freaking wholesome
Im really hoping Bliz's reason for being in these episodes gets re-contextualized in an episode where he thinks about all the healthy romantic relationship moments hes seen up close lately and think about his own relationship.
I agree with everything except I liked that Blitz was there -- it shows the drastic difference in how the two handle situations, it shows the more caring side of Blitz that he's repressed since the fire (a lot of criticisms toward Blitz were him being an ass who doesn't care when it's very obvious he cares too much, this ep at least gives those people a view of his caring side) and his sass toward Mammon and the situation was hilarious.
Also on "look at this" from last ep, I swear I feel like the only person who loves that part, it was my humor entirely, it's one of my fav scenes in the entire show and everyone seems to think it went on for too long lmfao. It's fine, we're all different, I just love it.
One thing no one seems to be pointing out;
Am I the only one who noticed Blitz’s twinge of jealousy after he sees Fizz and Ozzie together? Right after he’s like ‘oh so you two ARE an item’ he has this really tweaky expression that makes it looks like he’s about to scream before it just goes away and we move on.
My theory? Blitz clearly still has lingering feelings towards Fizz, or at the very least, unresolved closure about their whole ‘thing’. Tbh I’m so hyped to see if they explore it! I won’t lie, I actually think Fizz x Blitz is really cute, and in some ways like it more than the actual canon relationships, so I hope we get a fun flashback episode of them! (And that Blitz resolves whatever is still making him twinge like that lol)
I don't think that he was jealous. He was angry at them and called them hypocrites at the end because Asmodeus was giving Stolas shit for being with an imp
Well, whatever else he felt, he was certainly surprised 😂
@@WaltDevil060 Ooooh true it could've been related to that fs!
I’ve seen people say this before, but I think when Valentino first arrived in hell, his form manifested to look similar to slim Ozzie, based on his lifestyle previously. I hope we see more of this in Hazbin. Sinners who, based on their life, manifest similarities to sins
Okay, we've had three of the seven rulers of Hell, and we've got two of them as decent people while the third, Mammon, is the first genuinely terrible figure among them. It's really anyone's guess what the rest are like 🤔
Satan: A fitness maniac who only cares about lifting weights and gets angry with anyone who disagrees.
Belphegor: A lazy slob who is too lazy to even care.
Leviathan: A paranoid jerk who constantly complains about how the other lords have better stuff than him.
@@valentinkambushev4968 We do know that Belphegor is a woman.
But that's all we know about her.
@@valentinkambushev4968leviathans gonna be a chill surfer dude according to Viv I think
@@bubblycupsdoesn't make sense as Envy is literally one of the worst sins
@@adamH.1 literally thought the same thing like if anything Leviathan should be anything BUT chill. Also he's a beast of the depths, that man would not hang ten then chug a beer
I think it makes sense for Blitzø to be the one to talk to Fizz instead of Ozzie, since both Ozzie and Mammon are kings of sins while Fizz and Blitzø are both imps which makes their interaction more relatable.
Ironically, I didn’t really love any of the songs, but absolutely ADORED the character development for Fizz and Ozzie!! Fizz has been my favorite character since he was first introduced in Season 1’s finale, and I’ve been feeling absolutely spoiled with the last two episodes😭♥️ I also liked that Mammon is the first real villain of the deadly sins: it’s a refreshing change from some of the silly-goofy personalities of the rest of the sins so far!!
Ozzie doesn't make sense as he's supposed to be the embodiment of lust like Mammon is of Greed yet acts nothing like it
@@adamH.1 That may be due to the fact if he was like that he would be too similar to an already existing character.
I do like the fact that we finally have a Sin that acts like their sin they enbody and I really hope we have more of sins like Mammon.
This is like my favorite episode out of all of them including season 1. It’s SOOOO GOOD.
As a person with anxiety that had a semi-similar experience to what fizz had in a place I used to volunteer in, I also must say that this episode does a PHENOMENAL job at portraying this type of workspace abuse and how it affects people. It's not always about the person in charge being obviously mean. It's about the subtleness of it all. From the way Fizz attempted to be happy just to satisfy Mammon, to the justifications he would make primarily for himself, to how blinded he is to his close ones and even to his own thoughts, how much more power you think this thing has over your life then it actually has, or to how you can perceive the abuser as so much more experienced then you in a field you might even know more then them, causing you to spiral into think you're just a speck under their feet... This was done so accurately I could trace moments of my own life that went down almost identically to some of Fizz's behaviors. Especially his interactions with Blitz. It was terrifying.
Then there's his relation with Mammon. These exchanges felt *too* fucking real. The pain isn't from a generally grumpy demeanor or actively showing you you're not at the best of interest. It's putting the façade they value you and that what you're doing is big and helpful, while absolutely silencing you, preventing you from omitting a single word and expressing you're problems. Each of this conversations was accurate. They first isolate you, make you think everything is alright and going according to plan, and then silence you and leave problems unanswered. This leaves Fizz helpless and confused on one hand, and on the other like he can't go and seek help as he got all the answers he needed.
This of course comes with manipulation. And I like how this episode didn't leave out an important insight: a person doesn't need to be an intelligent and elegant master-mind who thinks five steps ahead to be manipulative. They can be oblivious, lack perspective and maybe even be a little stupid (as we can see throughout Fizz's "Fuck You" song), and just know how to control people. In fact, the way Mammon is so obvious about his clumsy attitude and mean behaviors causes the manipulation to be hidden even better. And most importantly, in your video you mentioned how Mammon has a moment of kindness to hide his greed, but even this moment of kindness isn't kindness. The best card in a manipulator's hand is showing that they can care for you and back you up when you're at you're low. They can do it even once and you'll think that after that act of kindness, there is no way they could trully have ill-intentions. Besides, if one time you fell they supported you, and the next time you fall they are upset, this must mean that this time you're in the wrong. By saying the Glam Sisters will go before Fizz, Mammon doesn't actually give Fizz time to solve his problems. Two to three minutes are hardly enough time to fully recollect from a panic attack. But by giving him the time in the first place, he traps Fizz in the mindset that this is the proportionate help he needs. Making Mammon seem like the saint he isn't.
And last but not least, the part that broke me in this episode wasn't the horn reveal (though that too), but when the hands started to shake. It's that moment when things are so bad and have been piling up so awfully even your body starts refusing what you think you need to do. It's the moment where an incredibly easy task is laid out in front of you. Just use some foundation, just walk on stage and do the one thing you're good at. But your body, no, you yourself refuse. You can see Fizz fighting himself. On one hand you have to do this. You must be horrendous at all and anything if you can't do this single thing. But you can't. You just can't anymore. So there's only one thing you still can do. Hurt yourself, keep yourself going just to punish you for wasting your opportunity, don't rest (and in more extreme cases not shown in the episode don't eat or sleep either), and berate yourself for falling from grace and not being good enough. Except as said by Blitz and Ozzy countless times throughout this episode, there isn't such a thing as "good enough" in these situations. They ask "good enough for what?", which is a valid question, because the last trick a manipulator has is that there is no finish line. In your video you said that this will just be a milestone, but often times it's not even that. You can run at the finish line all you want, but the manipulator will be the one pushing and holding you back from reaching it. That way they can keep you going and striving forever. Even if Fizz would have succeeded the show, Mammon could have thrown a last minute twist on the show, or done the same nasty tricks the year after. And by the end of the day, Fizz can't actually impact Mammon's mind. Mammon never really listens closely to his words. His mind was already set. Who knows, maybe he wasn't even counting on the Glam sisters to begin with, as making a doll for not one but two new models is twice the budget that would be needed for just keeping Fizz. Besides, it's established very early on he would default to valuing them less due to their gender. But it's getting Fizz always running. Never being good enough because there isn't a good enough, that let Mammon truly control Fizz. And I think that that's some extraordinary writing.
As a final note, I would like to leave that I adore how they kept Mammon intimidating all the way to the end. Even after Fizz stood up to him he didn't become a joke. Just showed his true face. And if the show continues being as realistic as it was thus far with this, Fizz won't stop fearing him right away. He'd just start openly hating him too.
Sorry if this came out vent-ish btw. I just wanted to show how realistic and accurate this episode portrayed Fizz's situation.
Between this, Loo Loo Land, Truth Seekers, Ozzie’s, and Oops, it’s almost like the best episodes are all ones feature Fizz in some capacity.
I hope that at the end of the season we will have our first fight between two high-level demons.
And not just any demons but two of the DEADLY SINS.
And I wish it would happen during a meeting of the seven. Oz and Mammon are fighting, while the others sins are watching and eating Bee's popcorn.
I guess I'm pretty basic when it comes to humor, but the part where Oz tries to go through a normal sized door and gets stuck got me laughing like a madman.
It really is the simple things, isn't it? I loved that little detail, too. 😂
Did anyone else notice that both Ozzie and Fizz called him Blitzø (with the silent o) like they actually had the conversation to to call him by his preferred name and respected it
As someone who has had a few anxiety attacks over this past semester and still learning how to catch them to calm myself down before it starts, I definitely felt seen with this episode. It’s odd how in 1 episode, I related to a character THIS MUCH with the anxiety, the need to be perfect, etc.
I still think that Fizz and Blitzø's relationship is in the recovery status. Part of it might be the anxiety, but Fizz (adult) pretty much never says a single positive thing to Blitzø the entire episode, not to mention that when they're on that initial red carpet, he asks why Blitzø is even here, like he doesn't want him there. Then when Blitzø says it'll be just like old times and that he'll make sure nobody gives Fizz shit today, he responds with, "You mean besides you?" It's honestly Blitzø that's making it seem like they're casual. The only like actually positive interaction between them is during Two Minutes Notice where Blitzø sniped a fan off of his leg and they smiled at each other for not even a second. It's really not a speedrun, it's still in recovery.
Excellent point. Ozzie even calls Blitz Fizz's "...newly rekindled sort-of-friend..." early on in the episode. Things still seem pretty raw between them, and Blitz definitely seems to be the one more eager to patch things up at the moment. At the very least Fizz does remember that the 'o' in Blitz's name is silent now and calls him such throughout the episode.
their relationship is so refreshing and just.. i just feel their happiness and im happy with them too
That scene with the deaf kid was so heartwarming and I loved it. The only scene that is long for what it is in the rush of this clown fest and that is perfect.
Ozzie being a super wholesome boyfriend is my favorite thing, like I love the villainy sin of lust thing but MAN I love them being actually chill more
Seeing how ozzie's smaller form looks I can't stop thinking about that Valentino tries his best to copy him - he tries to be the sin of lust in pride ring. Really cool detail
The panic attack scene with Ozzie & Fizz almost made me cry and idk why
This episode was so real it was insane. I don't got imposter syndrome (but this gave me a fascinating insight into it) BUT _boy howdy_ have I definitely fought off a panic attack for hours before. Not a fun experience, and it wasn't till the episode finished that I realized just how damn real that fucking felt. I was exhausted! Like holy shit. Took a hot minute to feel calm again. Had to watch the ep twice to actually absorb all of it lol
It's pacing did an amazing job b/c everything _just keeps going._ Everything was happening so fast and so much. But even the slower and calmer parts are anxiety inducing b/c if nothing's happening, then the panic attack can take hold and you can't let it take hold because everything is still happening and if you can't handle it everything's going to be awful and nothing will ever be okay!
Just, that specific type of mounting panic was not something I expected to see explored so well. Especially considering it wasn't a primary focal point/message of the episode.
I think the purpose of Blitz being here is to be the one who pointed it out right by using his own experience with his father that Mammon is nothing but the shameless money-hungry kind of leader. If Asmodeus cannot do that, then it will be Blitz's job to do it. And he was doing quite well if you asked me. It's just that Fizz himself is the one who refused to see it until Asmodeus returned and make a point about it by taking a step further that he loved Fizz for who he is, not what Mammon made of him.
Also there are things that just "family" or "relatives2 coudl say than not a couple can... Blitz is, asi he said in that episode" able totalk shit to peoplet and their mistakes and his honest opinion.. There are things that other people, than a lover, could say
This episode made many people, including myself💀, cry which immediately displays the shows development. Easily the best episode of the entire series for me.
Fizz and Angel Dust have the same vibe to me. I feel like fiz is kinda a taste of what we will see from Angel. I also think that Blitz is always gonna be in the episode because he's the main character. I dont mind it.
I totally agree. To me it's kind of to close tbh. I hope Angel manages to stand out somehow when Hazbin comes out.
the fact that i'm starting to want Fizz to become the protagonist is strange
I love the stark contrast of each of mirrors fizz prepares himself
Asmodeus's mirror is so soft abd comforting while fizz looks like he is being consumed by mammon's
I honestly think that a lot of things in this episode were very personal for Vivzie. From the fans to the boss topics
Here it is! I was waiting for your review so much~! I'm so glad you liked the episode as much as I did, I really needed a love song with Fizz and Ozzie and can't wait to see the backlash of that L-bomb XD
I LOVED this episode, I've always felt like the two plot structure of most episodes ruined the pacing but finally just following one plot and having great pacing made me love this episode
Did anyone else at first think Mamon was a stinkbug or a beetle instead of a spider at first? His round body mixed with the green reminded me of a stink bug lol 💚
The fandom thing hits super hard cause I've been in super toxic fandoms and it sucks cause sometimes it feels like the only part of fandoms care about is only the bad side when they're not the bigger part and it sucks
See I’m glad blitzø was here , when you think about it’s Ozzie backing up what he said last episode about him not going to places without security . Also Ozzie would know from fizz that they have known each other since childhood he said as much and blitzø lived in fizz’s head rent free for years ! It’s two birds one stone! Security and someone who can tell fizz to tell mammon where to shove it . He served that purpose ! Also by doing his job solidified his renewed friendship after 15 years of bad blood .
I related so much to Fizz in this episode!!! Mammon is like a personification of my extreme lifelong perfectionism, and hearing "Two Minutes" for the first time made me sob. I'm working on self-acceptance and building confidence, and I think I'm gonna start listening to "Two Minutes" whenever my negative self-talk starts to take over.
I’m still here CLAMORING for a sin fight. We’ve been getting hints of it, but damnit I want the real thing!
I understand the cost and effort that would be, but it’d also be SO COOL. Maybe for a season finale or something like that
