I feel like we’re seeing the blitz who existed as a kid. He was sensitive and caring and his dad manipulated him for his own gain not to mention the trauma of the fire. I feel like he takes care of stolis the way his mom did when he and Barbie were kids.
Yeah, and I find it especially sweet because of how being with Blitz helped bring out the best of Stolas; giving him the assertiveness he needed to escape from his toxic marriage with Stella, and the insight to understand that he needed to be honest with Blitz. Now, Stolas is doing the same for his partner by bringing up the best parts of him that were buried under self-loathing and regret for the longest time. Of course, things aren't hunky dory; there's still a lot of stumbling blocks for the two of them, both as individuals and as a pair; but I have hope for them.
This fits because this episode feels like we’re seeing the real Stolas. Discovering who he is when he doesn’t have to be proper and fall in line, expressing his emotions without stuffing them down all the time - and as sad as the things he’s going through are, he’s a lot cooler for it. I think it’s only making Blitz fall harder bc care is something he CAN give Stolas, it’s not seen as a weakness the way he’s had to but that aside growing up the way he did. It’s really amazing to see the dynamic switch, even if they have a ways to go.
Yeesh Stolas, an entire month without antidepressants while at his lowest has gotta be ROUGH Also adore that Loona spends a decent chunk of the episode snacking - given that it's Sinsmas and we're pretty sure hellhounds come from Gluttony
Oh I just realised, if Millie and Moxxie are fighting each other on Sinsmas because they're wrathians, is Loona eating all those snacks in the beginning because hellhounds seem to originate from the gluttony ring?
Yep, Imps from Wrath, Hellhounds from Gluttony, Sharks (and more) from Greed, Succubus from Lust, deep sea fish from Envy, candle-headed goats from Sloth.
@@Gaterman I think imps can be from all over, considering in S1 when Stolas invited Blitz to the Harvest Moon Festival, Blitz replied w: "Wrath huh? My employees are from there" (implying that he's not) with Moxxie then claiming he had "some Wrath in him" (from his mother's side) even though his father is clearly from Greed. Or I dunno.
@@theycallmebadImps come from Wrath but they live everywhere. The city IMP is in is a recently made city. They’ve spread everywhere and look a little different. All the Greed imps look pretty similar to Moxxie and there that one imp Ozzy bouncer and others who look like they’re probably part Succubus. Imps were made or had their development guided by Satan who is the Sin of Wrath in the Wrath Ring so they’re Wrath first.
Millie's reaction during the mission was before she found out she was pregnant. It was a mood swing, a pregnancy symptom, that Moxxie misinterpreted as being in the Sinsmas spirit, but when you're nauseous and feel really worn out, achy and weird as you are in early pregnancy, you tend not to have a lot of patience.
I suspect that, besides Sallie May, she also doesn't want anyone to _know_ yet. It's a _huge_ deal, but even if things _weren't_ such a potentially dangerous mess right at the moment, having a kid is the kind of life-changing decision that is scary even for the people who _want_ it to happen -- and given what we know about Millie's wild personality and resistance to being made to obey limits set by others, I'm not sure she's fully sold on the idea, and the thought of being forced to choose before she's _ready_ to is _terrifying._ Do she and Moxxie _want_ a kid? Yeah, probably. Would they make great parents? There's not a single doubt in my mind that they _would_ be. But are they _ready_ to become parents within the next year? Honestly... I don't think _either_ of them would agree with that statement right now.
So I'm not sure if I read this right, but after the gang comes back from the Andy fight (41:54), Blitz heats up some cookies or something that look like red hot coals, and it causes him to like, pulse red for a second when he eats them. Then he jumps into Stolas' lap. I think those coals were meant to like, heat Blitz' body up so he could act as a heating blanket or hot water bottle for Stolas. If so that's absolutely adorable.
Stolas: “You’ve just risk your life to save mine.” Blitzø: “Well….. so did you.” Me: “Thus a prince depends upon his faithful knight. Who stays beside him, always as his light.”
@@SKo.4882 technically it’s a revise. What you saw before was a draft and after rereading it I wanted to make some changes. But yeah, wild huh? Well back to the grind ✌️.
The weird thing is the client doesn't even know if her ex-husband cheated on her or not. She just threw it out there to justify her bad behavior. For all we know, he divorced her and met his new husband soon afterwards.
She was the Controlling Christian Karen in the relationship. From the way she says that she doesn't want her daughters to be introduced with his "LIFESTYLE" it's clear she was abusive to her children too.
Also totally glad you caught the callback in Via's song to Stolas' from S1E2. Stolas' version was this beautiful display of Space ending. Via's version is Space destructively ripping apart.
29:26 He's by the definition of banishment not allowed to see his daughter. Now that he's no better than an imp, he's like Blitz sneaking in to steal the book. A "commoner" can't just walk up to a royals property. There's also a good number of callbacks to the first few episodes in this one
Blitz feels almost childlike in a way. He’s more affectionate and less blood thirsty. And I just realized that the trial is probably the first time anyone’s protected him since he was a kid 😭 he’s always the one protecting. And now he probably feels safe enough to let his guard down because Stolas has proven he will keep him safe😭
Blitz literally three months ago: rElaTioNsHipS aRe bOrinG i'M dOinG eVeryOne a fAvoR bY eNdinG sHit bEforE iT gEtS sErioUs Blitz right now: but how about we became a family what then?
No one is noticing the "Gilded Cage" music playing in the background when Stolas goes back to his mansion that Andreaphlus and Stella took over. Side note: Every song (background or sung) ABSOLUTELY slaps for this Helluva Boss episode. We now have the healthy balance of humor, seriousness, romance, heartbreak, etc. It was SUCH a good finale.
Note that that song is not specific to the Gilded cage song. It has been playing in the background acting as stolas’s background theme sense the beginning of the show.
@@jamlizard3800 to add to what jamlizard correctly said, the track is specifically called ‘Stolas Speaks’, and is his character theme that’s played in (i think) every Stolas appearance. ‘Gilded Cage’ is also actually named ‘Stolas Sings’, to match the title of the instrumental. Some of my favourite examples of this track and its modulations include its banjo version in the Harvest Moon Festival (when he speaks to the audience) in season 1, and the orchestral version during the end of Truth Seekers when he appears in his demon form to save IMP, also in season one :) (edit for spelling mistake)
Even though Loona was only a side character in this episode, she shined. Finally, she is showing her soft side (especially to Blitz), having fun with her friends/family, and embracing Gluttony with Bee's party style (snacking all day). However, the biggest shock was her feral form, and I wonder where that comes from, like is it something all hounds can do, or maybe she got it from the book, or maybe she is special somehow (part Goetia with the extra eyes). Overall, it's a great episode, and I loved every twist, turn, and reveal ❤.
I love her warming up to Blitz finally As for her form, it may be sideeffect of using the book Extra eyes are sort of the theme in hell, even Angel had them when he got angry at Husk in Hazbin (tough he is a spider)
@gianfeliciano9816 definitely Loona is not bad person, she was just selfreliant becaise her early life screwed her up...and that was evidently quite common with Hellhounds
It's crazy the first arc is over😭. This episode was an entire love fan service to the entire series, a callback to so many episodes especially the very first, and just a beautiful but bittersweet and still sad conclusion yet showcase of everyone's growth since season 1!
I like the implication that during full moon stolas couldn't find his pills but then we see them stashed in octavias closet implying that someone - probably Stella- hid them there
I still don't think you can consider what Stolas did as cheating. He didn't handle things well on Via's side, but he never wanted to be with Stella, he never had a choice. He didn't betray Stella's trust with the cheating, he betrayed Via's because he broke the perfect family picture she always knew without explaining anything first hand.
I had just enough time to watch through the episode once before I had to head off for work, and part of my brain spent the entire shift _gnawing_ on this one while I processed everything, because _holy _*_HELL_*_ was this a great one:_ - It's honestly heartwarming to see how much effort Blitzø's putting into trying to help Stolas. Besides breakfast, it looks like he cleaned up the apartment, and I'd imagine the comforting nest of plushes was his idea, too. (The brief chat about his horse fixation may also be the first in-universe reference we've gotten to the studio's namesake, Spindle -- I don't know if what I've heard is _accurate,_ but the dramatic smoke alluding to the fire suggests that it _might_ line up! If not, blame Ayylmao.) - It's pretty easy to tell that Stolas was instinctively looking for his usual bottle of antidepressants, as he's still running on routines at this point, and it sounded like he might take an over-the-counter variety that doesn't require a prescription if Blitzø could've picked some up. But... the way he just _stopped_ makes me worry that Stolas is _ashamed_ of his depression and need for medication to manage his symptoms, as if he's internalized some stigma that paints psychoemotional disorders like cPTSD and clinical depression as _weakness._ (This man is in _dire_ need of a therapist, but while I know of at least _one_ with an intense interest in Stolas's case, she's on _this_ side of the Fourth Wall.) - While it's not exactly how I imagined him pitching the idea, Blitzø offering to bring Stolas on at IMP as the receptionist and dispatch brings their conversation from the start of the season full-circle -- and between his knack for legal documents and his skill with words, he's arguably a better fit for the position than Loona is, which frees her up to assist in the field as a second melee specialist. (Blitzø's probably _right,_ too -- having something that gets him out of the house might help his emotional state.) - The sheer contrast between Moxxie and Millie's cheerful, playful fight around the office and Stolas's horrified, confused expressions over how two people so _clearly_ in love could be _enjoying_ fighting with each other _really_ illustrates the divide between their lives. There's a lot of nuance to the world that he's never really _seen_ from inside the palace walls. - I feel like Octavia _has_ to be aware of the dynamic between her parents at this point, and that may be part of why it's tearing her up so much. I'm a child of divorce, so I've been in a similar place as the one she's in right now -- between the lyrics and the imagery in her song, it seems clear to me that Via's still coming to terms with the fact that the happy home life she _thought_ she had growing up, the foundation upon which she built her sense of identity and belonging, was a _sham._ Even as her mother and uncle turn her childhood home into a frozen crypt haunted by the ghosts of her past, Via's created this little sanctuary for herself, filled with reminders of her father and boxes of his keepsakes that Stella probably had thrown out; she still _wants_ that happy family that her dad made her believe she had, still _wants_ the feeling of security from when Stolas sang the lullaby she called back to in her song, but the loss of that feeling still stings too much for her to think about where to go next. Like she said, she'll be okay, even though she's not okay _today._ - The revelation that Stolas was keeping his antidepressants a _secret_ stung pretty hard for me. Besides seemingly affirming my suspicion that he sees it as shameful, it means he's been off his meds for a _month_ -- even an _extended-release_ formula would've worked its way out of his system in _that_ span of time. For the first time in over 25 years, Stolas is dealing with his emotions without _any_ guardrails -- everything's _completely unfiltered_ right now. - The hit they were hired for is even more powerful when you realize it's a reflection of the job from the first episode. Everything from the client and the general spiel, to the setup of the reveal of the target, right down to the framing of the key shots and the placement of everyone in the scene, directly calls back to that first hit against Martha -- but this time, for the first time _ever, _*_Blitzø doesn't want to kill a target._* He's never really even _hesitated_ to finish a job before now... but in that moment, he saw a symbolic reflection of the life he _could_ have, the life he _wants,_ and he made the choice to show _mercy._ - Three cheers for Stolas turning Andrealphus's exceptionally punchable face into roadkill, amirite? - Alright, if Loona was able to go full Feral Hellhound _the entire time,_ Blitzø was an _idiot_ for sticking her behind a desk at the office. - The callback to the monster fish from S1E3 in the fight against the ice dragon was a fantastic little touch. (I do wonder who _owns_ that arsenal Millie raided, though -- it could just be another wing of the palace, but it looked like a standalone structure, meaning it may be the servants' quarters... which makes it feel significant that the decor is all still Stolas's.) - As powerful as he is next to the IMP crew and Stolas right now, Andrealphus is still just a Marquis -- Stolas normally outranks him in both status and power, which would mean _Octavia_ does too. She didn't just _block_ her uncle's attack, she completely _dispelled_ it, before taking the wind out of him with a _shockwave_ -- she's _definitely_ stronger than Andrealphus, even without her full power. - As much as Via isn't a fan of Blitzø, the two of them are often on a similar wavelength. I still think they could get along if she ever gave him a fair chance at it. - The fallout between Via and Stolas is rough, because I can see where they're _both_ coming from. Stolas spent nearly two decades enduring Stella's abuse for Via's sake, all to give her the normal childhood experience he never _had_ -- but he never stopped to ask _her_ how she felt about it, and seemed to genuinely not see how much she'd changed and grown, which might've been a good opportunity to reassess whether keeping her in the dark about the troubles he was dealing with would've been _more_ painful than having her find out on her _own._ (Stolas is so _avoidant_ of conflict that he inevitably _traps_ himself in situations where it's _unavoidable.)_ - And Via... honestly, I _know_ how she felt when she said that she thought it was *_her_*_ fault_ that Stolas was depressed enough to need medication, _because I've thought the same thing about _*_my_*_ family's divorce._ Kids find out about their parents' struggles eventually, and if their parents kept those struggles _secret,_ the easiest conclusion to reach is that it's because _they blame _*_you_*_ for it._ Could Stolas have avoided this by honestly opening up to Octavia about his struggles with depression and the burdens he's had to carry? _Maybe,_ but we'll never _know,_ because he never _did!_ She's _justified_ in feeling upset that her father threw his life away for an Imp without even _thinking_ about how he would be leaving her forever, and her anger and grief are _valid_ -- but right now, she's just lashing out, hurting Stolas the same way _he_ hurt _her,_ and that's not really helping _either_ of them. I _know_ she's smart enough to realize what's happened, but I don't see that happening until at least midway into Season 3. - I've been told to my face by my father that he saw me as an obligation, so I feel qualified to say with certainty that _Stolas has _*_never_*_ felt that way about Octavia_ -- the way he acts, even just within this scene, make that irrefutably clear. Y'know who _does_ act like a parent who sees their child as an obligation? *_Stella._* - ...Admittedly, I think we all expected that Millie and Moxxie's active sex life would result in something _eventually,_ but that positive pregnancy test is still _huge._ Having a kid is a literally life-changing event, and while I'd be shocked if the two of them hadn't at least _discussed_ it before, it's pretty clear from her reaction and the fact she's keeping it quiet from everyone except Sal that Millie doesn't feel _ready_ to make that choice yet -- even if absolutely nothing goes wrong, it'd mean putting her job on the back burner for at least a chunk of the next few years, entrusting Blitzø and Loona to keep Moxxie safe while she's not able to. I think she's afraid of that surrender of autonomy more than anything, of not being able to make decisions purely for herself anymore when there's another life on the line besides hers. (That said, I don't envy _anyone_ who threatens the kid. Millie would pick a fight with Satan himself to protect her child, I don't doubt that for a second -- and for as paralytically anxious as he'll be when she tells him, Moxxie would be an *_amazing_* dad.) - Seeing Loona coming out of her shell around Gigi and Russ feels bigger than the scene can really allow. She's becoming more comfortable around others and genuinely empathetic with her family at IMP, and it feels like it started after she befriended those two at Bee's party. - Blitzø's not very experienced at being emotionally supportive, but he made a great choice opening up about Barb. A shared experience with being hated by someone who you still deeply care about let him bridge the gap, and he did a good job of trying to offer Stolas some helpful advice from his own lived experience -- and even after everything the day threw at them, he managed to get Stolas to smile and laugh by letting himself be the goofy, outgoing dork he was 25 years ago. - There's _so_ many big dominoes that got set up in this episode, and I'd wager Season 3 is going to topple most of them. I don't see the status quo staying where it's at once _any_ of them hit the ground, but debating which one will start to tilt _first_ is already getting me hyped! S3E1 can't get here soon enough!
I spent about an hour typing out my thoughts and trying to squeeze them into the comments section over on the main video, then quickly copied it over here to continue the conversation in this corner of the community. Chances are I talked about some of the same stuff Omni did, but I'm gonna have to save this reaction for when I'm not about to pass out after a 10-hour shift with a 2-hour commute. I'll be back down in here to offer specific thoughts and responses to Omni once I'm not dead from the neck up. Sleep well, nerds, and happy Sinsmas!
38:04 I like this line from Moxie a lot because in this analogy the sword could also be referring to Moxie himself, he is Blitzø's sword. As I.M.P.s bookkeeper he is the one who makes sure Blitzø's business runs "smoothly".
If you listen closely to the music playing when Stolas is walking back into his old castle, his theme is playing. Just it sounds a bit more “Wintery” themed.
Love the necklace dude. Was not expecting this episode already, it feels lithe last one just came out. Also M&M baby oh my gosh! I wasn’t expecting anything like that during the show, I thought it was gonna an after show fanfic thing.
I think Millie’s emotional outburst (and obviously the puking) during the mission were just early pregnancy symptoms, you get emotional and hormonal. I had the same thought-Millie might not be ready to be a mom and doesn’t know how Moxxie feels or assumes he’ll want to be a dad/be heartbroken about her *not* wanting to be a mom, but yeah no, like you I never once thought Millie’s temporarily keeping it from Moxxie because she cheated. Literally didn’t even cross my mind til you threw it out there and immediately discarded it.
I'm not sure Via knew about all the calls after the first day. Right before the song, she had her ear buds in until after they stopped talking about Stolas calling in implicit terms.
@@maryamtara2934 She didn't stop to take out her earbud until after Stella said that he'd been calling all month, though. Via didn't hear that line; she only heard Stella say 'Hilarious!' and then her and Andy laughing. We've seen in other episodes how loud she plays her music - she didn't hear Stella flat-out telling Striker to kill Stolas at the breakfast table because of that. And really, that's the only way her reaction at the end of the episode makes sense. If she knew he'd been trying to call her every day, she wouldn't feel so abandoned and unloved. Instead, to her it looks like he called once and then finally decided to show up a few weeks later after not bothering to reach out again.
Yeah so, my mother’s side of the family always held a grudge against my father for the longest time I could remember, and even as a child(from age 5 through 8) I could *feel* the antagonism and eventually it developed into something deeper and more… intentionally malicious, I guess? Something like careless bullying within her kin against me? Because I look and act too much like my father. I never felt like I was welcomed whenever I was at my mother’s parents’ house whenever we visited them. This was solidified when my aunt volunteered to let me stay at her place when my father was hospitalized. To this day I remember the shock I felt when she, to me who was seventeen, told me upfront that she disliked me because I “made her sister’s life difficult”.
Watched the episode 15 minutes after it dropped (lucky timing) and I've been waiting all day for certain people to react. You were one of them. That callback to "You'll Be Okay" stung. A lot. Via makes sense to me, too. Took a long time but my relationship with my father did get better. He, at least, showed up for the big moments, that's more than some of my friends could say, and not all of them had divorced parents. They made this episode count! Tears were shed.
This episode was absolutely incredible. The end absolutely drove me insane with the mix of feelings and Stolas not fully able to return the hug. It leads me with confusion for how their relationship is going to continue. Granted I know they will be together and happy at some point but right now everything just sorta sucks. Regardless love to see your reaction and I don’t know how to cope with the helluva boss hiatus ❤🥲😭
Viv has told fans that one of her close friends is horse obsessed (almost as bad as Blitzø) and she wanted to design a character with that love. It's just for the fun ❤
Been an OG Omn1Media follower before Helluva Boss, but seemed incredibly cool we picked the show at almost the same time! and It was amazing sharing my hyperfixation in syc. LOVE that this is over an hour, I need more discussion of this finale and how it ties with the overall series. Ahh, now I'm jumping in!!!
Been following long before the hazbin/helluva reactions and I still remember the joy I felt when I got the notification for the hazbin hotel pilot reaction. It’s been an amazing journey watching these shows with you. Thank you!
Loona was a fucking badass in this episode. I had no idea that she was capable of changing her hellhound form like that I'm really impressed. Also her new hellhound/demon form is just fucking awesome. Thank god Blitz didn't have to deal with this version of Loona in Western energy. And I love that we are getting to more of her softer and caring side more consistently since full moon onwards. Also, seeing her come out of her shell at the end of the episode was just heartwarming to watch.
4:06 wait he actually changes his voice for that? I thougt it was all editing magic lol Very amazing i must say. I wonder if it hurts to consistently doing it.
It’s pretty much his Beetlejuice which from what I know took a lot of specialized training to do safely considering he had to do that multiple shows a week live on stage on Broadway during its run!
6:46 Actually, it depends on the bird. As someone who owns a bunch of chickens (and some ducks), we'll regularly throw cracked eggs into the pen for them to eat.
31:18 this right here is what i want in life. To be married to the man of my dreams and spending the holidays with our beautiful children. Some days makes it hard to think ot will ever happen.
I do wanna point out that the client of this episode said her husband left her and then after blitz says well shit happens it’s not that bad she adds he probably cheated which makes me believe that’s just a big ol lie so they kill her ex husband
Love your reactions and discussion. I cried at Vias song. I hope you mocking Stella becomes a short because that was amazing! Great intro with Alex Brightman too ❤
So when it comes to Octavia's view of Stolas and Stella's relationship, they actually tried to hide that they didn't care for each other at all from her and play up being a "normal couple". It wasn't until she was a teenager that things started to truly boil over and they weren't able to hide it anymore and when Blitz came into the picture the illusion just shattered completely. So in her eyes her parents got along just fine when she was a kid and then it all just fell apart as she grew up. and then this one guy came in and suddenly her father cared more about spending time with him than he did with her. She really is still unaware of just how bad things REALLY were and even that the marriage was arranged.
For the egg thing, I'm gonna be honest, I hate that trope for Stolas. Most birds eat other birds, n Owls DEFINITELY eat other birds. It's not cannibalism just cuz they share the same animal family. That's like us human mammals getting weird Everytime we eat beef
I think Millie is just having a common fear many pregnant women go through: their husband will NOT be happy to find out their wife is pregnant. Now, this is mostly "in their head" kind of fear; hormones and stuff making them worry. So, Millie was fearing Moxie would be unhappy to find out he'll be a father. But this is, ofc, totally a fearful delusion. Because we all know Moxie will be he happiest man alive to know his WIFE is carrying his BABY. I think it's also a fear with herself. She still struggles to find her self-worth. Is she only good for her killing and rage? What or who will she be when she can't do it anymore once the baby is coming along more? This must be a hard pill to swallow for her and this whole pregnancy will be tough. But I'm sure Sally-May will be there for her and Moxie will love the HELL out of his wife.
0:48 honestly it makes me realize how lucky alot of new fans joined at the right time 😭🤣 Been a fan for years, thru the month to year gaps, now with shorts I think we're all grateful
16:10 I literally mentioned this to a friend recently!!! That now since he’s powerless and stuff he could work for Blitz like what he said when they were younger
So most people are focusing on the Stolitz progression, Via, or Millie's pregnancy but *not* Loona's true hellhound form!? That's the part I'm most interested in tbh. Like, do all hellhounds have this form or just Loona, and if it's just Loona or specific hellhounds including her, why them? And has Loona always been able to do this?
Since hellhounds are based on the legend/myths that probably means that was their true form before hellhounds became more “human”. Their job was hunt down people on earth and over time that kinda stop and they started to evolve in hell.
She did have ready access to stolas' book. So she might be more magically adept by virtue of regulat reading/practicing a Goetian artifact than 99.9% of heels native population. She might have picked up a few tricks
yeah, maybe after few more relistens Via's song will hit me more and more... my father was never there for me. Physically maybe. Now he doesn't even know my name anymore. Not that I miss him. I don't miss him one bit. I miss his parents.
finally a youtuber that uploads the vids i want to watch on time . thanks its a really good vid your reactions are great and your upload schedule to when episodes come out is really nice
While everyone is discussing amazingly just wanna say what another amazing video! Always love how in depth you go, it what i need after watching the episode myself and digesting it for a while ❤ never apologize for all your pausing!
coincidentally the episode released literally as I was rewatching one of your older helluva boss reactions lmao so glad we got to see more of via this episode- her story breaks my heart and I hope we get to see more of how her relationships with stolas, stella and maybe blitz and loona develop over the next season 💙
And yes since you asked during the trial they did say that Stolas got banished and that this comes with loosing custody of his daughter. I mean banishment literally means you are banished from society (in this case the high society) and those who’d still be in contact with you or even talk to you or be seen with you are equally shunned that’s why I never understood so many people theorising Stolas would move in with Vassago for some reason, like that’s not how banishment works
Great reaction and analysis. But I just need to say this because of your analysis: Sorry no, cheating on an abuser is justified. Cheating only matters because it hurts the other person's feelings, but an abusive person doesn't care about your feelings in the first place so who fucking cares?! She mentally AND physically abused him AND he was ARANGED AKA FORCED to be with her. All he wanted was to feel happiness for once in his unfortunately miserable life. Call me crazy if you want, but I literally CAN'T blame him in this aspect. (I'm not saying he's perfect but I will defend him here.)
You said everything so perfectly. A lot of ppl tend to look at this with a black and white filter with a set bad guy and good guy. But no one in this show is in the "good guy", they all did something bad. But that doesn't make them a bad person necessarily. This situation is messy and complicated, but that's why it's so interesting to watch. I love that the main characters are flawed and that stolitz is a messy relationship.
Since moxie and Millie were born in the wrath ring, they were playfully violent to each other and since loona was born in gluttony, that’s why she had all those snacks
Great episode and finale 👏 I love that we got to see Via use her magic. Stolas, and the group managed to cause harm to Andrelophous. But when Via stepped in ans blasted him away I was so excited. She is more powerful than her uncle and I think he didn't realize that until she stood up to him. But now he may try to remove her from the picture so he can have ALL the power. Also, without Via and Stolas there, he has no more use for his sister. I'm intrigued to see where this goes.
Stolas' life is just too sad, he finally has the romance and love he always wanted from someone, he just needed to lose everything else, and he's not even enjoying his current romance, i can't even tell if he's satisfied with Blitz or he's just over him and is staying because it's all he has now, it's difficult to figure stolas out at the moment
A wonderful reaction as always! I smiled so big at the bit with Blitz imagining them all together as a family, and hopefully they can make their way to that point eventually. Your insights were, per usual, phenomenal, and a joy to listen to. Keep on being awesome! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Omni, hope its a peaceful and beautiful one 😁
You know, it's kinda rich for Via to reject Stolas for one 'lie' when she's still around her mother who's just objectively worse in every way. And like... she HAS to have known Stolas wasn't happy with Stella right? Why did she THINK he was hanging around still? She's not stupid. But yeah, i was also a child of divorce so now you've pointed that out i'm inclined to give her some leeway but yeaaaah. Kinda plot holey if it's not double standards,
Stolas throwing hands was probably THE biggest surprise for me damn😂 he probably would’ve killed his ass If Andre wasn’t immortal. But hey, well now we at least know how the invulnerability works especially after Loona in her second Pokémon evolution literally almost bit off his head👀 so they can get hurt they just heal immediately. And I’m touched by your words about the Octavia situation 🙏🏻 I feel like a lot of people don’t have much sympathy for her character which is worrisome to me👀 The finale gave me everything I asked for and more ! No words left!❤ they did a fantastic job!
I hope Im not the only one who saw the call back to the "Would you kill a family" bit from episode one. Literally almost identical scenerios, but now neither Moxxie nor Blitz want to kill the family. It very much puts a solid marker on Blitz's growth in the show.
For my theory Blitzø and Stolas might meet Frizz and Ozzy to have talk about what to do to get Stolas daughter back and how he can possibly regain his powers again
I feel like we’re seeing the blitz who existed as a kid. He was sensitive and caring and his dad manipulated him for his own gain not to mention the trauma of the fire. I feel like he takes care of stolis the way his mom did when he and Barbie were kids.
Yeah, and I find it especially sweet because of how being with Blitz helped bring out the best of Stolas; giving him the assertiveness he needed to escape from his toxic marriage with Stella, and the insight to understand that he needed to be honest with Blitz. Now, Stolas is doing the same for his partner by bringing up the best parts of him that were buried under self-loathing and regret for the longest time. Of course, things aren't hunky dory; there's still a lot of stumbling blocks for the two of them, both as individuals and as a pair; but I have hope for them.
This fits because this episode feels like we’re seeing the real
Stolas. Discovering who he is when he doesn’t have to be proper and fall in line, expressing his emotions without stuffing them down all the time - and as sad as the things he’s going through are, he’s a lot cooler for it.
I think it’s only making Blitz fall harder bc care is something he CAN give Stolas, it’s not seen as a weakness the way he’s had to but that aside growing up the way he did. It’s really amazing to see the dynamic switch, even if they have a ways to go.
Yeesh Stolas, an entire month without antidepressants while at his lowest has gotta be ROUGH
Also adore that Loona spends a decent chunk of the episode snacking - given that it's Sinsmas and we're pretty sure hellhounds come from Gluttony
I think I must be a hellhound and celebrate Sinsmas every day 😅
I didn't even catch that!
Oh wait I didn't even realize, It was so subtle lol that's pretty neat
Never apologize about pausing, I love when you pause and take the time to pause and appreciate the details ^^
Agreed! It's why we're here!
No seriously it’s what makes him one of my favorite people to watch react to the show
Oh I just realised, if Millie and Moxxie are fighting each other on Sinsmas because they're wrathians, is Loona eating all those snacks in the beginning because hellhounds seem to originate from the gluttony ring?
Yep, Imps from Wrath, Hellhounds from Gluttony, Sharks (and more) from Greed, Succubus from Lust, deep sea fish from Envy, candle-headed goats from Sloth.
@@Gaterman I think imps can be from all over, considering in S1 when Stolas invited Blitz to the Harvest Moon Festival, Blitz replied w: "Wrath huh? My employees are from there" (implying that he's not) with Moxxie then claiming he had "some Wrath in him" (from his mother's side) even though his father is clearly from Greed.
Or I dunno.
@@theycallmebad Imps are bassically everywhere in hell to my knowledge. (Probably originating from wrath originally then just emigrating.)
@@theycallmebadImps come from Wrath but they live everywhere. The city IMP is in is a recently made city. They’ve spread everywhere and look a little different. All the Greed imps look pretty similar to Moxxie and there that one imp Ozzy bouncer and others who look like they’re probably part Succubus. Imps were made or had their development guided by Satan who is the Sin of Wrath in the Wrath Ring so they’re Wrath first.
According to S2 ep 3 Moxxie is from the Greed ring but he's also been stated to be from wrath before.
Millie's reaction during the mission was before she found out she was pregnant. It was a mood swing, a pregnancy symptom, that Moxxie misinterpreted as being in the Sinsmas spirit, but when you're nauseous and feel really worn out, achy and weird as you are in early pregnancy, you tend not to have a lot of patience.
I suspect that, besides Sallie May, she also doesn't want anyone to _know_ yet. It's a _huge_ deal, but even if things _weren't_ such a potentially dangerous mess right at the moment, having a kid is the kind of life-changing decision that is scary even for the people who _want_ it to happen -- and given what we know about Millie's wild personality and resistance to being made to obey limits set by others, I'm not sure she's fully sold on the idea, and the thought of being forced to choose before she's _ready_ to is _terrifying._
Do she and Moxxie _want_ a kid? Yeah, probably. Would they make great parents? There's not a single doubt in my mind that they _would_ be. But are they _ready_ to become parents within the next year? Honestly... I don't think _either_ of them would agree with that statement right now.
So I'm not sure if I read this right, but after the gang comes back from the Andy fight (41:54), Blitz heats up some cookies or something that look like red hot coals, and it causes him to like, pulse red for a second when he eats them.
Then he jumps into Stolas' lap. I think those coals were meant to like, heat Blitz' body up so he could act as a heating blanket or hot water bottle for Stolas. If so that's absolutely adorable.
I had the same thought. Considering they were created by Satan I concluded that this means they are combination between dragon and goat.
OH THIS IS ACTUALLY SUCH A CUTE IDEA, I legit js thought he ate weed to keep himself sane 😭
I think that's exactly what it was. And I thought he was just randomly eating some eggs or something because it was late and he was hungry.
We did see in the first episode that imps are immune to *ordinary* fire. Green or other colored fire may be a different story though
Stolas cursing more than Blitz. Huh, that’s something you don’t see everyday.
the first ep. The bleep part?
@@soda6868 he wasn't cursing there, it was just censored for comedy and because it was sexually explicit.
Stolas: “You’ve just risk your life to save mine.”
Blitzø: “Well….. so did you.”
Me: “Thus a prince depends upon his faithful knight. Who stays beside him, always as his light.”
How dare you make me read rhymes with tears in my eyes
@@SKo.4882 can you believe I am writing this while on the job😅
@@captaincritter6173 incredible
@@SKo.4882 technically it’s a revise. What you saw before was a draft and after rereading it I wanted to make some changes. But yeah, wild huh? Well back to the grind ✌️.
The weird thing is the client doesn't even know if her ex-husband cheated on her or not. She just threw it out there to justify her bad behavior. For all we know, he divorced her and met his new husband soon afterwards.
She was the Controlling Christian Karen in the relationship. From the way she says that she doesn't want her daughters to be introduced with his "LIFESTYLE" it's clear she was abusive to her children too.
love how he hugs stolas instead of kissing him or making it sexual.
EVERYONE SHUT UP OMN1MEDIA POSTED HIS HELLUVABOSS TAKE!!!!!!
THATS WHAT I WAS SAYING
navah!!! Happy sinsmas
My god they went all out with this episode the music and the voice acting were incredible
Agreed. Brandon and Bryce were incredible.
Also totally glad you caught the callback in Via's song to Stolas' from S1E2. Stolas' version was this beautiful display of Space ending. Via's version is Space destructively ripping apart.
"Space" is a funny way to spell "my entire heart" 😭
29:26
He's by the definition of banishment not allowed to see his daughter. Now that he's no better than an imp, he's like Blitz sneaking in to steal the book. A "commoner" can't just walk up to a royals property. There's also a good number of callbacks to the first few episodes in this one
Blitz feels almost childlike in a way. He’s more affectionate and less blood thirsty. And I just realized that the trial is probably the first time anyone’s protected him since he was a kid 😭 he’s always the one protecting. And now he probably feels safe enough to let his guard down because Stolas has proven he will keep him safe😭
Blitz literally three months ago: rElaTioNsHipS aRe bOrinG i'M dOinG eVeryOne a fAvoR bY eNdinG sHit bEforE iT gEtS sErioUs
Blitz right now: but how about we became a family what then?
Who else found stolas plumbing Andi and making his face look like hamburger meat satisfying?
Me me me me
I hope everybody because I sure did! 🤣
I do like Andrealphus but I love that scene, lmao
I do we all did! 😂 I literally yelled "fuck you Andrealphus"
No one is noticing the "Gilded Cage" music playing in the background when Stolas goes back to his mansion that Andreaphlus and Stella took over.
Side note: Every song (background or sung) ABSOLUTELY slaps for this Helluva Boss episode. We now have the healthy balance of humor, seriousness, romance, heartbreak, etc. It was SUCH a good finale.
Note that that song is not specific to the Gilded cage song. It has been playing in the background acting as stolas’s background theme sense the beginning of the show.
@@jamlizard3800 to add to what jamlizard correctly said, the track is specifically called ‘Stolas Speaks’, and is his character theme that’s played in (i think) every Stolas appearance. ‘Gilded Cage’ is also actually named ‘Stolas Sings’, to match the title of the instrumental. Some of my favourite examples of this track and its modulations include its banjo version in the Harvest Moon Festival (when he speaks to the audience) in season 1, and the orchestral version during the end of Truth Seekers when he appears in his demon form to save IMP, also in season one :)
(edit for spelling mistake)
Even though Loona was only a side character in this episode, she shined.
Finally, she is showing her soft side (especially to Blitz), having fun with her friends/family, and embracing Gluttony with Bee's party style (snacking all day).
However, the biggest shock was her feral form, and I wonder where that comes from, like is it something all hounds can do, or maybe she got it from the book, or maybe she is special somehow (part Goetia with the extra eyes).
Overall, it's a great episode, and I loved every twist, turn, and reveal ❤.
She also places a reassuring hand on Millie as well.
I love her warming up to Blitz finally
As for her form, it may be sideeffect of using the book
Extra eyes are sort of the theme in hell, even Angel had them when he got angry at Husk in Hazbin (tough he is a spider)
@@Daralyndk Just a personal theory, but I think Loona is starting to soften up on Millie & Moxxie.
@gianfeliciano9816 definitely
Loona is not bad person, she was just selfreliant becaise her early life screwed her up...and that was evidently quite common with Hellhounds
@@Daralyndk Not once is Loona dismissive of Moxxie in this episode.
It's crazy the first arc is over😭. This episode was an entire love fan service to the entire series, a callback to so many episodes especially the very first, and just a beautiful but bittersweet and still sad conclusion yet showcase of everyone's growth since season 1!
I like the implication that during full moon stolas couldn't find his pills but then we see them stashed in octavias closet implying that someone - probably Stella- hid them there
I still don't think you can consider what Stolas did as cheating. He didn't handle things well on Via's side, but he never wanted to be with Stella, he never had a choice. He didn't betray Stella's trust with the cheating, he betrayed Via's because he broke the perfect family picture she always knew without explaining anything first hand.
gosh, omn, your laughter is so adorable. you replicating andre's flapping and laughing made me laugh so much as well.
I had just enough time to watch through the episode once before I had to head off for work, and part of my brain spent the entire shift _gnawing_ on this one while I processed everything, because _holy _*_HELL_*_ was this a great one:_
- It's honestly heartwarming to see how much effort Blitzø's putting into trying to help Stolas. Besides breakfast, it looks like he cleaned up the apartment, and I'd imagine the comforting nest of plushes was his idea, too. (The brief chat about his horse fixation may also be the first in-universe reference we've gotten to the studio's namesake, Spindle -- I don't know if what I've heard is _accurate,_ but the dramatic smoke alluding to the fire suggests that it _might_ line up! If not, blame Ayylmao.)
- It's pretty easy to tell that Stolas was instinctively looking for his usual bottle of antidepressants, as he's still running on routines at this point, and it sounded like he might take an over-the-counter variety that doesn't require a prescription if Blitzø could've picked some up. But... the way he just _stopped_ makes me worry that Stolas is _ashamed_ of his depression and need for medication to manage his symptoms, as if he's internalized some stigma that paints psychoemotional disorders like cPTSD and clinical depression as _weakness._ (This man is in _dire_ need of a therapist, but while I know of at least _one_ with an intense interest in Stolas's case, she's on _this_ side of the Fourth Wall.)
- While it's not exactly how I imagined him pitching the idea, Blitzø offering to bring Stolas on at IMP as the receptionist and dispatch brings their conversation from the start of the season full-circle -- and between his knack for legal documents and his skill with words, he's arguably a better fit for the position than Loona is, which frees her up to assist in the field as a second melee specialist. (Blitzø's probably _right,_ too -- having something that gets him out of the house might help his emotional state.)
- The sheer contrast between Moxxie and Millie's cheerful, playful fight around the office and Stolas's horrified, confused expressions over how two people so _clearly_ in love could be _enjoying_ fighting with each other _really_ illustrates the divide between their lives. There's a lot of nuance to the world that he's never really _seen_ from inside the palace walls.
- I feel like Octavia _has_ to be aware of the dynamic between her parents at this point, and that may be part of why it's tearing her up so much. I'm a child of divorce, so I've been in a similar place as the one she's in right now -- between the lyrics and the imagery in her song, it seems clear to me that Via's still coming to terms with the fact that the happy home life she _thought_ she had growing up, the foundation upon which she built her sense of identity and belonging, was a _sham._ Even as her mother and uncle turn her childhood home into a frozen crypt haunted by the ghosts of her past, Via's created this little sanctuary for herself, filled with reminders of her father and boxes of his keepsakes that Stella probably had thrown out; she still _wants_ that happy family that her dad made her believe she had, still _wants_ the feeling of security from when Stolas sang the lullaby she called back to in her song, but the loss of that feeling still stings too much for her to think about where to go next. Like she said, she'll be okay, even though she's not okay _today._
- The revelation that Stolas was keeping his antidepressants a _secret_ stung pretty hard for me. Besides seemingly affirming my suspicion that he sees it as shameful, it means he's been off his meds for a _month_ -- even an _extended-release_ formula would've worked its way out of his system in _that_ span of time. For the first time in over 25 years, Stolas is dealing with his emotions without _any_ guardrails -- everything's _completely unfiltered_ right now.
- The hit they were hired for is even more powerful when you realize it's a reflection of the job from the first episode. Everything from the client and the general spiel, to the setup of the reveal of the target, right down to the framing of the key shots and the placement of everyone in the scene, directly calls back to that first hit against Martha -- but this time, for the first time _ever, _*_Blitzø doesn't want to kill a target._* He's never really even _hesitated_ to finish a job before now... but in that moment, he saw a symbolic reflection of the life he _could_ have, the life he _wants,_ and he made the choice to show _mercy._
- Three cheers for Stolas turning Andrealphus's exceptionally punchable face into roadkill, amirite?
- Alright, if Loona was able to go full Feral Hellhound _the entire time,_ Blitzø was an _idiot_ for sticking her behind a desk at the office.
- The callback to the monster fish from S1E3 in the fight against the ice dragon was a fantastic little touch. (I do wonder who _owns_ that arsenal Millie raided, though -- it could just be another wing of the palace, but it looked like a standalone structure, meaning it may be the servants' quarters... which makes it feel significant that the decor is all still Stolas's.)
- As powerful as he is next to the IMP crew and Stolas right now, Andrealphus is still just a Marquis -- Stolas normally outranks him in both status and power, which would mean _Octavia_ does too. She didn't just _block_ her uncle's attack, she completely _dispelled_ it, before taking the wind out of him with a _shockwave_ -- she's _definitely_ stronger than Andrealphus, even without her full power.
- As much as Via isn't a fan of Blitzø, the two of them are often on a similar wavelength. I still think they could get along if she ever gave him a fair chance at it.
- The fallout between Via and Stolas is rough, because I can see where they're _both_ coming from. Stolas spent nearly two decades enduring Stella's abuse for Via's sake, all to give her the normal childhood experience he never _had_ -- but he never stopped to ask _her_ how she felt about it, and seemed to genuinely not see how much she'd changed and grown, which might've been a good opportunity to reassess whether keeping her in the dark about the troubles he was dealing with would've been _more_ painful than having her find out on her _own._ (Stolas is so _avoidant_ of conflict that he inevitably _traps_ himself in situations where it's _unavoidable.)_
- And Via... honestly, I _know_ how she felt when she said that she thought it was *_her_*_ fault_ that Stolas was depressed enough to need medication, _because I've thought the same thing about _*_my_*_ family's divorce._ Kids find out about their parents' struggles eventually, and if their parents kept those struggles _secret,_ the easiest conclusion to reach is that it's because _they blame _*_you_*_ for it._ Could Stolas have avoided this by honestly opening up to Octavia about his struggles with depression and the burdens he's had to carry? _Maybe,_ but we'll never _know,_ because he never _did!_ She's _justified_ in feeling upset that her father threw his life away for an Imp without even _thinking_ about how he would be leaving her forever, and her anger and grief are _valid_ -- but right now, she's just lashing out, hurting Stolas the same way _he_ hurt _her,_ and that's not really helping _either_ of them. I _know_ she's smart enough to realize what's happened, but I don't see that happening until at least midway into Season 3.
- I've been told to my face by my father that he saw me as an obligation, so I feel qualified to say with certainty that _Stolas has _*_never_*_ felt that way about Octavia_ -- the way he acts, even just within this scene, make that irrefutably clear. Y'know who _does_ act like a parent who sees their child as an obligation? *_Stella._*
- ...Admittedly, I think we all expected that Millie and Moxxie's active sex life would result in something _eventually,_ but that positive pregnancy test is still _huge._ Having a kid is a literally life-changing event, and while I'd be shocked if the two of them hadn't at least _discussed_ it before, it's pretty clear from her reaction and the fact she's keeping it quiet from everyone except Sal that Millie doesn't feel _ready_ to make that choice yet -- even if absolutely nothing goes wrong, it'd mean putting her job on the back burner for at least a chunk of the next few years, entrusting Blitzø and Loona to keep Moxxie safe while she's not able to. I think she's afraid of that surrender of autonomy more than anything, of not being able to make decisions purely for herself anymore when there's another life on the line besides hers. (That said, I don't envy _anyone_ who threatens the kid. Millie would pick a fight with Satan himself to protect her child, I don't doubt that for a second -- and for as paralytically anxious as he'll be when she tells him, Moxxie would be an *_amazing_* dad.)
- Seeing Loona coming out of her shell around Gigi and Russ feels bigger than the scene can really allow. She's becoming more comfortable around others and genuinely empathetic with her family at IMP, and it feels like it started after she befriended those two at Bee's party.
- Blitzø's not very experienced at being emotionally supportive, but he made a great choice opening up about Barb. A shared experience with being hated by someone who you still deeply care about let him bridge the gap, and he did a good job of trying to offer Stolas some helpful advice from his own lived experience -- and even after everything the day threw at them, he managed to get Stolas to smile and laugh by letting himself be the goofy, outgoing dork he was 25 years ago.
- There's _so_ many big dominoes that got set up in this episode, and I'd wager Season 3 is going to topple most of them. I don't see the status quo staying where it's at once _any_ of them hit the ground, but debating which one will start to tilt _first_ is already getting me hyped! S3E1 can't get here soon enough!
I spent about an hour typing out my thoughts and trying to squeeze them into the comments section over on the main video, then quickly copied it over here to continue the conversation in this corner of the community. Chances are I talked about some of the same stuff Omni did, but I'm gonna have to save this reaction for when I'm not about to pass out after a 10-hour shift with a 2-hour commute.
I'll be back down in here to offer specific thoughts and responses to Omni once I'm not dead from the neck up. Sleep well, nerds, and happy Sinsmas!
38:04 I like this line from Moxie a lot because in this analogy the sword could also be referring to Moxie himself, he is Blitzø's sword. As I.M.P.s bookkeeper he is the one who makes sure Blitzø's business runs "smoothly".
the way my frown turns upside down whenever omn1 uploads >>>>
I screamed
6:53 It is a mug! They added it to the Shark Robot shop today!!
Oh, thanks for the heads up. :)
I forgot Loona was from Gluttony, that does explain why she was consuming so much food… that makes sense now…
Plus she is a dog lol
If you listen closely to the music playing when Stolas is walking back into his old castle, his theme is playing. Just it sounds a bit more “Wintery” themed.
funny thing is... owls and birds in general have no problem eating eggs.
Love the necklace dude.
Was not expecting this episode already, it feels lithe last one just came out.
Also M&M baby oh my gosh! I wasn’t expecting anything like that during the show, I thought it was gonna an after show fanfic thing.
I think Millie’s emotional outburst (and obviously the puking) during the mission were just early pregnancy symptoms, you get emotional and hormonal. I had the same thought-Millie might not be ready to be a mom and doesn’t know how Moxxie feels or assumes he’ll want to be a dad/be heartbroken about her *not* wanting to be a mom, but yeah no, like you I never once thought Millie’s temporarily keeping it from Moxxie because she cheated. Literally didn’t even cross my mind til you threw it out there and immediately discarded it.
I'm not sure Via knew about all the calls after the first day. Right before the song, she had her ear buds in until after they stopped talking about Stolas calling in implicit terms.
She knows she passed by when her mommy and uncle were making fun saying he called all month
@@maryamtara2934 She didn't stop to take out her earbud until after Stella said that he'd been calling all month, though. Via didn't hear that line; she only heard Stella say 'Hilarious!' and then her and Andy laughing. We've seen in other episodes how loud she plays her music - she didn't hear Stella flat-out telling Striker to kill Stolas at the breakfast table because of that. And really, that's the only way her reaction at the end of the episode makes sense. If she knew he'd been trying to call her every day, she wouldn't feel so abandoned and unloved. Instead, to her it looks like he called once and then finally decided to show up a few weeks later after not bothering to reach out again.
Between Ragatha and Blitz, horses are SO in this season.
Yeah, that screech Stoles did from behind the desk broke me too, lol.
Yeah so,
my mother’s side of the family always held a grudge against my father for the longest time I could remember, and even as a child(from age 5 through 8) I could *feel* the antagonism and eventually it developed into something deeper and more… intentionally malicious, I guess? Something like careless bullying within her kin against me? Because I look and act too much like my father. I never felt like I was welcomed whenever I was at my mother’s parents’ house whenever we visited them. This was solidified when my aunt volunteered to let me stay at her place when my father was hospitalized. To this day I remember the shock I felt when she, to me who was seventeen, told me upfront that she disliked me because I “made her sister’s life difficult”.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. But I know how you feel. It was the same with my biological mother.
Dude…where here for you dude
Watched the episode 15 minutes after it dropped (lucky timing) and I've been waiting all day for certain people to react. You were one of them.
That callback to "You'll Be Okay" stung. A lot.
Via makes sense to me, too. Took a long time but my relationship with my father did get better. He, at least, showed up for the big moments, that's more than some of my friends could say, and not all of them had divorced parents.
They made this episode count! Tears were shed.
This episode was absolutely incredible. The end absolutely drove me insane with the mix of feelings and Stolas not fully able to return the hug. It leads me with confusion for how their relationship is going to continue. Granted I know they will be together and happy at some point but right now everything just sorta sucks. Regardless love to see your reaction and I don’t know how to cope with the helluva boss hiatus ❤🥲😭
The moment when I saw that Stolas was beating the bricks off of that cold turkey, I already knew that his haters are *Feasting* good tonight!🤣
Viv has told fans that one of her close friends is horse obsessed (almost as bad as Blitzø) and she wanted to design a character with that love. It's just for the fun ❤
we want to know blitz's story on his obesstion with horses,he never asked where the idea came from,learn to listen fake fan
Hairs lookin sharp my guy!
I have that sweater in the cardigan style, it’s my fav❤❤❤❤
Can you get it from the Helluva store or somewhere else?
@ oh, it’s from the Hazbin Hotel Shop
8:59 That mimic!!😂😂😂😂😂
Love that you included a video of you and Alex Brightman aka Fizzarolli just before the reaction. Pretty good 👍
I’m glad we can all come together and emotionally CRY over This SinSMas gift 😭✨💔❤️🩹
Yayy I was waiting for your reaction all day ❤ this episode was AMAZING
Been an OG Omn1Media follower before Helluva Boss, but seemed incredibly cool we picked the show at almost the same time! and It was amazing sharing my hyperfixation in syc. LOVE that this is over an hour, I need more discussion of this finale and how it ties with the overall series. Ahh, now I'm jumping in!!!
Been following long before the hazbin/helluva reactions and I still remember the joy I felt when I got the notification for the hazbin hotel pilot reaction. It’s been an amazing journey watching these shows with you. Thank you!
Loona was a fucking badass in this episode.
I had no idea that she was capable of changing her hellhound form like that I'm really impressed.
Also her new hellhound/demon form is just fucking awesome.
Thank god Blitz didn't have to deal with this version of Loona in Western energy.
And I love that we are getting to more of her softer and caring side more consistently since full moon onwards.
Also, seeing her come out of her shell at the end of the episode was just heartwarming to watch.
4:06 wait he actually changes his voice for that?
I thougt it was all editing magic lol
Very amazing i must say.
I wonder if it hurts to consistently doing it.
He used to be Beetlejuice, i bet hes used to it
It’s pretty much his Beetlejuice which from what I know took a lot of specialized training to do safely considering he had to do that multiple shows a week live on stage on Broadway during its run!
I just LOVE how supportive Blitz is. Now that he finally admitted his feeling for Stolas he wants to make sure he is okay.
46:58 so i wasn't the only one searching for a hidden scene or something 😭 (i was telling myself there was something freaky)
I wish merry sinsmas to yall🤘🫶
Merry Sinsmas!
I know he was going to get sad on this one he needs a tissue box never be afraid to show your emotions❤
Octavia desperately needs a friend she can trust that won't hurt her like her family
I still hope her and Loona get it
I love that "Big-Little sister relationship from S2E2 when they had a conversation"
I was waiting for your reaction!💙 I'm glad it's so early, thank you
i just noticed while watching this reaction but Loona kept snacking this episode bcs her choice of sin to celebrate is Gluttony😭
6:46 Actually, it depends on the bird. As someone who owns a bunch of chickens (and some ducks), we'll regularly throw cracked eggs into the pen for them to eat.
31:18 this right here is what i want in life. To be married to the man of my dreams and spending the holidays with our beautiful children. Some days makes it hard to think ot will ever happen.
I totally put together what was happening when Millie said she wasn't sure why she was acting that way and the reveal still hit.
Blitz’s deep dark horse story... the circus horses i think. And thus the fire...
Don't ever apologise for pausing, I'm here for that
exactly! like, if we wanted to watch the episode unpaused, we would’ve watched the original one haha, we’re here for the commentary!
I do wanna point out that the client of this episode said her husband left her and then after blitz says well shit happens it’s not that bad she adds he probably cheated which makes me believe that’s just a big ol lie so they kill her ex husband
Love your reactions and discussion. I cried at Vias song. I hope you mocking Stella becomes a short because that was amazing! Great intro with Alex Brightman too ❤
Babe wake up Omni media released his sinmas video!!!!!
So when it comes to Octavia's view of Stolas and Stella's relationship, they actually tried to hide that they didn't care for each other at all from her and play up being a "normal couple". It wasn't until she was a teenager that things started to truly boil over and they weren't able to hide it anymore and when Blitz came into the picture the illusion just shattered completely.
So in her eyes her parents got along just fine when she was a kid and then it all just fell apart as she grew up. and then this one guy came in and suddenly her father cared more about spending time with him than he did with her.
She really is still unaware of just how bad things REALLY were and even that the marriage was arranged.
Oh jesus fuck I just finished watching the lates ep (literally a minite ago) and now I get to watch Omn1’s reaction HOW GREAT
no joke man it’s 10am where I’m at rn I do not need this again
For the egg thing, I'm gonna be honest, I hate that trope for Stolas. Most birds eat other birds, n Owls DEFINITELY eat other birds. It's not cannibalism just cuz they share the same animal family. That's like us human mammals getting weird Everytime we eat beef
He said it wasn't cannibalism he just doesn't like them bc he's used to high end meat for his protein
Congrats on 100k+ Omni!
You deserve it!
I love that Octavia has Blitzø's number in her phone. The name she has it under in her phone is "Dad (Calling from Shitty Boyfriend's Phone)".
I love that so much 😂
I think Millie is just having a common fear many pregnant women go through: their husband will NOT be happy to find out their wife is pregnant.
Now, this is mostly "in their head" kind of fear; hormones and stuff making them worry. So, Millie was fearing Moxie would be unhappy to find out he'll be a father. But this is, ofc, totally a fearful delusion. Because we all know Moxie will be he happiest man alive to know his WIFE is carrying his BABY.
I think it's also a fear with herself. She still struggles to find her self-worth. Is she only good for her killing and rage? What or who will she be when she can't do it anymore once the baby is coming along more? This must be a hard pill to swallow for her and this whole pregnancy will be tough.
But I'm sure Sally-May will be there for her and Moxie will love the HELL out of his wife.
0:48 honestly it makes me realize how lucky alot of new fans joined at the right time
😭🤣 Been a fan for years, thru the month to year gaps, now with shorts I think we're all grateful
Was waiting for this video to see your reaction. One of the few reactors I love watching Helluva reactions from!
the horse mug is on the Shark Robot website now!!!
16:10 I literally mentioned this to a friend recently!!! That now since he’s powerless and stuff he could work for Blitz like what he said when they were younger
I know Octavia song takes from the song Stolas sang for her when she was little, but it also reminds me of a MCR song I don't love you
Oh my Gods!! I absolutely see it!!
So most people are focusing on the Stolitz progression, Via, or Millie's pregnancy but *not* Loona's true hellhound form!? That's the part I'm most interested in tbh. Like, do all hellhounds have this form or just Loona, and if it's just Loona or specific hellhounds including her, why them? And has Loona always been able to do this?
Since hellhounds are based on the legend/myths that probably means that was their true form before hellhounds became more “human”. Their job was hunt down people on earth and over time that kinda stop and they started to evolve in hell.
She did have ready access to stolas' book. So she might be more magically adept by virtue of regulat reading/practicing a Goetian artifact than 99.9% of heels native population. She might have picked up a few tricks
I love your shirt and necklace. It’s a good look on you.
Great episode!!
yeah, maybe after few more relistens Via's song will hit me more and more... my father was never there for me. Physically maybe. Now he doesn't even know my name anymore. Not that I miss him. I don't miss him one bit. I miss his parents.
finally a youtuber that uploads the vids i want to watch on time . thanks its a really good vid your reactions are great and your upload schedule to when episodes come out is really nice
While everyone is discussing amazingly just wanna say what another amazing video! Always love how in depth you go, it what i need after watching the episode myself and digesting it for a while ❤ never apologize for all your pausing!
coincidentally the episode released literally as I was rewatching one of your older helluva boss reactions lmao
so glad we got to see more of via this episode- her story breaks my heart and I hope we get to see more of how her relationships with stolas, stella and maybe blitz and loona develop over the next season 💙
I feel like the story of why he loved horses is the circus horses, seen in the flashbacks and on a photo. And we all know why it was traumatic
And yes since you asked during the trial they did say that Stolas got banished and that this comes with loosing custody of his daughter. I mean banishment literally means you are banished from society (in this case the high society) and those who’d still be in contact with you or even talk to you or be seen with you are equally shunned
that’s why I never understood so many people theorising Stolas would move in with Vassago for some reason, like that’s not how banishment works
Great reaction and analysis. But I just need to say this because of your analysis: Sorry no, cheating on an abuser is justified. Cheating only matters because it hurts the other person's feelings, but an abusive person doesn't care about your feelings in the first place so who fucking cares?! She mentally AND physically abused him AND he was ARANGED AKA FORCED to be with her. All he wanted was to feel happiness for once in his unfortunately miserable life. Call me crazy if you want, but I literally CAN'T blame him in this aspect. (I'm not saying he's perfect but I will defend him here.)
The Alex Brightman intro was delightful, thank you for that
You said everything so perfectly. A lot of ppl tend to look at this with a black and white filter with a set bad guy and good guy. But no one in this show is in the "good guy", they all did something bad. But that doesn't make them a bad person necessarily. This situation is messy and complicated, but that's why it's so interesting to watch. I love that the main characters are flawed and that stolitz is a messy relationship.
Since moxie and Millie were born in the wrath ring, they were playfully violent to each other and since loona was born in gluttony, that’s why she had all those snacks
8:59 😂😂 that mimicked hahaha
Great episode and finale 👏 I love that we got to see Via use her magic. Stolas, and the group managed to cause harm to Andrelophous. But when Via stepped in ans blasted him away I was so excited. She is more powerful than her uncle and I think he didn't realize that until she stood up to him. But now he may try to remove her from the picture so he can have ALL the power. Also, without Via and Stolas there, he has no more use for his sister. I'm intrigued to see where this goes.
Stolas' life is just too sad, he finally has the romance and love he always wanted from someone, he just needed to lose everything else, and he's not even enjoying his current romance, i can't even tell if he's satisfied with Blitz or he's just over him and is staying because it's all he has now, it's difficult to figure stolas out at the moment
A wonderful reaction as always! I smiled so big at the bit with Blitz imagining them all together as a family, and hopefully they can make their way to that point eventually. Your insights were, per usual, phenomenal, and a joy to listen to. Keep on being awesome! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Omni, hope its a peaceful and beautiful one 😁
Honestly, I think it says something that his medication, is hard candy. Maybe now he won't be dependent on a placebo.
I still have hope for Via, even if she is selfish. There's gonna come a time, when they're all together, just like Blitz fantasized
You know, it's kinda rich for Via to reject Stolas for one 'lie' when she's still around her mother who's just objectively worse in every way. And like... she HAS to have known Stolas wasn't happy with Stella right? Why did she THINK he was hanging around still? She's not stupid. But yeah, i was also a child of divorce so now you've pointed that out i'm inclined to give her some leeway but yeaaaah. Kinda plot holey if it's not double standards,
Stolas throwing hands was probably THE biggest surprise for me damn😂 he probably would’ve killed his ass If Andre wasn’t immortal. But hey, well now we at least know how the invulnerability works especially after Loona in her second Pokémon evolution literally almost bit off his head👀 so they can get hurt they just heal immediately.
And I’m touched by your words about the Octavia situation 🙏🏻 I feel like a lot of people don’t have much sympathy for her character which is worrisome to me👀
The finale gave me everything I asked for and more ! No words left!❤ they did a fantastic job!
I hope Im not the only one who saw the call back to the "Would you kill a family" bit from episode one. Literally almost identical scenerios, but now neither Moxxie nor Blitz want to kill the family. It very much puts a solid marker on Blitz's growth in the show.
You definitely are not! It crossed my mind but I got swept up into everything I forgot to mention it! 😭
Milly's mood swings as well as throwing up make perfect sense when you find out why.
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE EPISODE *NO SPOILERS!*
For my theory Blitzø and Stolas might meet Frizz and Ozzy to have talk about what to do to get Stolas daughter back and how he can possibly regain his powers again
5:58 Yes, look back at the circus fire. I bet some of the horses died.
That makes a lot of sense!
