The Friendly And Fiendish Fifth Minisode Of Helluva Shorts

Reader discretion is advised.
A week after the release of the fifth episode of The Amazing Digital Circus [25], the fifth mini-episode of Helluva Shorts rose from the depths of development [56] [81]. This was followed by another live signing in honour of this year’s Pride Month hosted by Eric Schwartz, the voice of Chaz from “Exes and Oohs”, the third episode of the second season of Helluva Boss [38] [73]. Aside from the continuation of a sideshow, I personally recommend showing some support for a fanmade episode titled “It’s Them Or Rem” created by a talented fellow hazbean known as “Feather Sketch” [23] [24]. The further disrespect I could receive for being a fan of the series and considering it a coping mechanism in the 2020s is daunting [83], but I always get a giggle out of rickrolling specific characters from both Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss and I found some serenity in discussing the traits of Lisa Cooper, my own Hellaverse character with ChatGPT [67] [107] [108] [109], but with the vow to not EVER replace my skills in writing with reliance on artificial intelligence [30]After partially returning to X, formerly known as “Twitter” under a new username for business inquiries and expressing creativity [90] [91] [92], I have returned to analysing Vivienne Medrano’s zany Hellaverse, so let us find out which ranking the fifth Helluva Short deserves during the wait for Chicken Run: Eggstraction [56] [68].

Shortly after watching Elio at the cinema with my fiancé and providing some new outfits for the sim based on Mrs. Cooper in the Xbox One/Xbox Series X/S port of The Sims 4 [17] [19] [20], I finally got to watch the fifth Helluva Short on YouTube [56] [81]. So, what are my thoughts on it? Brace yourself for another dose of gore and profanity! [81]
 
As previously revealed in the teaser for the minisode at LVL UP EXPO in Las Vegas earlier this year [6], “Mission: Orphan Time” is about Blitzo and Loona on a mission to assassinate a target, thus granting a client’s sadistic wish [56]. The television show produced by the charitable studio they sneak into is possibly a parody of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood [69] [74], which adds to the short’s uniqueness. The short was written by Lyle Burruss, also known as “Lyle Rath” [80], which resulted in top-notch pacing aside from a simple premise [4] [5], yet it is definitely not as engaging in terms of action, compared to the previous short [55] [56] [93] [94]. I have always admired Helluva Boss for how varied the premises of the episodes are, despite a few duds [38] [39] [42] [46] [49] [50], so aside from how most of the minisodes of Helluva Boss are focused on I.M.P.’s daring assassinations can be praised for staying true to what the pilot proposed [41] [53] [54] [55] [56], I hope that any of the other seven minisodes still in development will provide some focus and depth on any of the side characters in Hell [79], such as how Martha and Mrs. Mayberry ironically became a couple [37], Señor Vassago being the uncle figure Octavia needs and a deeper bond between Striker and Stella that could gradually grow romantic as I still consider “Hell’s Belles” my favourite Helluva Short for enhancing Sallie May’s likeability [40] [50] [53] [87] [96] [9].
 
It’s Orphan Time
F*** yeah, sinful friends!
We’re summoned from Vivzie’s hellish lands
With Blitzo the imp and Loona the hellhound,
The fun will last ‘till a human life ends
It’s Orphan Time [12]! [56]

The Blitzster’s alliance with Millie in “Ghostf**kers” and his personal growth regarding his reconciling with Stolas after his life was saved from a death sentence in “Mastermind” were undeniable [39] [40] [44], despite the makeup seeming to have happened a little too soon after the events of “Apology Tour” [37]. However, when it comes to his business in slaying the sinful or anyone a sinner just does not like, he is once again his usual crude and antiheroic self [56]. Spoiler alert! How he bludgeons a new target (who will be explained later) at the end of the short is one of his most gruesome killings in the series yet! Surely, his reduction to a background gag during the montage of said target saying goodbye to his fans before seems a little redundant other than for some wit for those with a keen eye for outside of the main focus in a certain scene, but temporarily keeping him out of the spotlight to give Loona enough room to stand out once more further debunks the accusations of Helluva Boss being sexist solely for focusing more on the male main characters [60] [96] [97]. And of course, Deadpool’s brother from another mother would still be a caring and supportive adoptive father to Loona who rightfully restored er character exploration in “Mission: Orphan Time” [56] [88], which will be explained in a jiffy.

Surely, Blitzo is still having dirty thoughts of Stolas, Verosika or any other demon he finds hot to keep the Asmodean Crystal active [45] [47] [53]… [56]

And where’s the chainsaw to go with that lollipop, Blitzy [85]? [56]


The second official YouTooz figure based on Loona is considered part of those gothic Summer vibes [51] [104] [105], but more importantly, her alliance with Blitzo in the fifth minisode makes up for her disappointing role as a muted but lividly fearful patient at St. Ann’s hospital in “Western Energy” and the controversy regarding the enamel pins of her being muzzled in “Mastermind” [8] [40] [50]. Moreover, her human disguise that debuted in “Spring Broken” returns for the sake of consistency [45] [56]. How the previously mentioned new character asks to bid farewell to several young people who seem to have idolised him ever since he adopted them convinces Loona to let him do so before his sentence is a sign of her shaking her limits when it comes to her aggression, despite how she Sparta kicked a pram in a flashback scene in the pilot, even though it is no longer canon [41]. Loona’s role as a co-killer in “Mission: Orphan Time” is not as striking as her mighty transformation during the thrilling battle against Andrealphus in “Sinsmas” [44], but it is still impactful regarding her character as the angsty young adult daughter of the antiheroic protagonist who can still be humane and it looks like she does not have the syphilis that was hinted in the pilot after all [41] [55].

As much as some of us suspect that Husk will be the next sinner to be redeemed in the second season of Hazbin Hotel [86], I have suspected that Loona’s role in “Orphan Time” will be as effective as the one in “Truth Seekers” in terms of nobility and reflection on being a daughter aside from her usual tsundere vibes [48] [56]. And eureka! It is as deep as her character progressions in “Spring Broken” and “Queen Bee” [42] [45], which is a bonus for all the Loona lovers out there [61]. [56]


And yes, how Loona willingly changed back into her hellhound form after receiving the reassurance of her true self being accepted (that suddenly became false) is another sign of her seeking acceptance aside from her experience in the party in the Gluttony Ring in “Queen Bee” [42] [56]. [56]
 
The name “Frank McTickly Wrigglers” has a weird ring to it [56] [78]. At first, I had a feeling that his association with a charity to cover up some dark intentions would make his character a disturbing jab at respected figures who turned out to be…you know. However, it turned out that his niceness and gentle nature are simply a reminder of Ned Flanders from The Simpsonswithout overly devoted Christian intentions [74] [78] [82]. Moreover, his role as a delayed target is vital to show more of Loona’s soft side, yet near the end of the touching scene of him chatting wholesomely with her as they watch the sunset, he gets frightened by her hellhound form, contradicting his claim of willingness to see the real Loona [56]. As innocent as Frank has been before his gruesome demise, it is still unknown if he was a shady person at some point before his ambitious fatherhood or not, so it is understandable by some of us are disappointed that the reason for a client wanting him dead remains unknown [4] [5], which is like the astonishment towards Stella always being abusive to Stolas long before his infidelity with the Blitzster for seemingly no reason as part of the mixed reception towards “The Circus” [26] [46]. On a lighter note, I bet Wrigglers would have dedicated an episode of his show to Lisa Cooper, a singer who died at the age of twenty-seven [56] [78] [95].

Aside from how impactful Frank has been to his young audience as we can see how the young people he bids a farewell to cry their hearts out, the way he explains how he pleases his wife got some fellow sinners being like, “T.M.I.! T.M.I.!” [56]. It is quite weird how passive he was about being killed with the intention of doing anything for an orphan, yet he must have suspected that the time would come eventually, considering that he must be in his 90s, despite ageing like fine wine with not a single strand of grey hair or wrinkle [78]. [56]

As bland overly nice characters can be to some of us, how he ultimately may not be a bad person underneath that persona, despite apparently showing the client up during their high school years after all at least does not provide a predictable dose of shock factor in a tasteless attempt to express senseless edginess [56] [76] [81]. We do not need a repeat of the controversy regarding what Barbie Wire said about teenagers being easy to manipulate in a certain way in “Unhappy Campers” [49], thank you very much! And of course, Frank being a pedophile would completely ruin any chances of Loona gaining the emotional depth fans of her would crave in the short and if he was truly meant to be one, he would not be so subtle about it later on and it probably would have caused offence [6] [56]. Kudos to Jack Plotnick for doing a swell job at voicing the latest target who is pretty much the polar opposite of Ronaldo, the manager of the One Star Wonder Hotel who turned out to be an evil infestor demon in “Ghostf**kers” [39]. [56]
 
Let us expand on how “Mission: Orphan Time” is written [56]. The crudeness of Helluva Boss and Helluva Shorts remains as comparable as the humour and vulgarity in Lollipop Chainsaw and Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP [85], but it can be argued that the overall humour in “Mission: Orphan Time” is not as effective as the comedy in “Mission: Weeaboo-Boo” and “Mission: Chupacabra” [4] [5] [54] [55] [56]. But of course, how Frank is genuinely all wholesome as a parody of Mr. Rogers not only adds to the short’s uniqueness but is safe from any off-colour depictions of a pedophile’s intentions quite like the portrayals of the sickening association known as “NAMBLA” in the fifth episode of the fourth season of South Park tarnishing the experiment with Loona’s soft side [14] [69], yet the ending is both funny and sad at the same time [56]. Despite a sudden censorship spell being cast on Helluva Boss on YouTube [3] [84], the R-rated magic we have adored since late 2019 is still there [41], yet the lack of musical numbers in Helluva Shorts must be for sole focus on the story and character growth [52] [53] [54] [55] [96] [97], which is fine by me. I shall look forward to what Lyle Rath, the provider of several additional voices in Helluva Boss and The Amazing Digital Circus can bring next if he has written any of the seven forthcoming shorts as I still consider “Mission: Antarctica” my least favourite one so far [53] [80] [90] [100] [101].

And in all honesty, I would rather adore a mediocrely written animated series than feel trapped in a controlling and mentally abusive friendship with a harsh “but fair” critic again. [56]
 
Even without the assistance of Toon City [37] [39] [40] [44] [47], the animation is once again outstanding, being a step up from the animation in the pilot to show how far the series has come since its release back in late 2019 [41] [56]. Vigorous movements for the characters? Check. Splendidly detailed backgrounds where action and emotion take place? Check. Some nice special effects here and there? Check and check. There does not seem to be any framerate issues, resulting in fluid movements and the tears Frank’s adopted children shed are an example of a compelling lack of choppiness [56]. Aside from how Frank’s dressing room is notably different compared to Brennon Ragers’ dressing room in the studio in the crazy interpretation of Los Angeles in “Seeing Stars” [43] [56], the sunset Loona watches with him is a prime example of how visually stunning the backgrounds beyond the seven rings of Hell can be. Aside from how priceless Blitzo’s expressions are during his aggravations to Frank’s farewell to his children, can you believe the colour palette of his lollipop is possibly a reference to the pansexual flag [81]? As always, kudos to the loose network of diligent and dedicated animators and clean-up artists at SpindleHorse, a studio that operates through Google Drive and Discord rather than as a traditional animation studio in one building [56] [66].

The left eye OVER the bangs? That is not the case for Rosalina from the Super Mario series [64] [65]. [56]


Aside from the excellent animation [4] [5] [56], I will give the short kudos for not providing a moment consisting of audio that may be too loud for those who are sensitive to loud noises, which was what I called the two D.H.O.R.K.S. agents’ retreat in the previous short out for [93] [94]. However, you are free to inform me about any concerns regarding audio or visual aspects of the series you have. I am quite an expert in discussing the experience of being autistic after all. As for the music in the fifth short, it is awesome as all the samples fit each scene in an engaging way [56]! [56]

What could a future short or the first episode of the third season be about? Blitzo taking care of a sick Stolas [15]? The other way around [16]? My owl daddy comforting the Blitzster after he has a nightmare [10]? A flashback of Millie dating Chaz before they broke up [38] [39] [73]? Some depth for Stella to finally give her a reason for her wrath besides Stolas’ affair [26] [62]? In terms of sticking to the format of I.M.P. on a mission of the time, another unique premise can be the three imps helping an awesome female detective solve the case of who killed her? On second thought, that might be better executed in a full episode of the third or fourth season for a better chance at a well-structured case inspired by those detective films from the 1940s and 1950s [71]. Aside from how I would love to see character growth for another character besides Blitzo, Loona or Team M&M in the next Helluva Short or two [96] [97], perhaps a new character in a new short could be non-binary, demigender, romance-ambivalent, berrisexual, almondsexual or sapphillean for even more LGBTQIA+ cred in the Hellaverse [34] [35] [36] [59] [77]. I may have seen myself in Stolas being reduced to a former prince in “Mastermind” and “Sinsmas” when it came to my devotion to being a hazbean dramatically decreasing throughout 2023 and 2024 [40] [44], but I can still find joy in expressing my own predications.

There is a lot of potential for a new dose of character development for my owl daddy he needs in his new life as a former prince throughout the third season of Helluva Boss [40] [44]. Please! Anything but a tragic demise like the one in a certain controversial but excellently animated fanmade music video [9] [70]! As much as I believe that Nelly, the brunette twin from The Twins will come out as a trans man at some point in her adulthood [2] [13], I believe he can bounce back from the loss of his title, his wealth, his custody of Octavia and the amount of backlash from the lower class he has received in “Mastermind” [40], especially after his devastating failed attempt at regaining his only daughter’s trust near the end of “Sinsmas” [44], but that will require the refusal to succumb to a toxic victim mentality, further accountability to take, a huge apology to both her AND the Blitzster and possibly some aspirations in starting a freelance singing career or publishing an erotic novel in a new post-royalty life [93] [94]. [44]


Stella and Andrealphus were pretty uncaring to Octavia in “Sinsmas” [44]. Alas, the controversial vixen may not reflect on her past behaviours and apologise in the way Gideon Grey did in Zootopia [46] [110]. As for her brother, when will he be ready for Round Two? No reference to Sonic.exe intended [63]. Besides, creepypastas are not simply worth my time anymore. [44]


Shortly after the release of three new plushies that quirkily represent the sexualities of Alastor, Angel Dust and Charlie Morningstar from Hazbin Hotel [102] [103] [106], “Mission: Orphan Time” is another swell addition to what goes on outside of the main Helluva Boss series with a new cup of character development and amazing animation. Many of us may miss those skeuomorphic vibes from over a decade ago, considering how 2025 can be referred to as “1941 V2.0” [72], but it is rather uplifting to review the fifth minisode of Helluva Shorts as if I was still as happy to be a hazbean as I was from 2020 to 2022. There is hope that the third season of Helluva Boss can be considered better than the second one in certain terms and there is hope that the sequel to the divisive live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch can be considered an improvement after its completion [1] [7] [11] [33]. And who knows when there will be a zany stage musical adaptation of Helluva Boss free of artificial intelligence [27] [28] [29]? I would be so up for that! In the meantime, the Blizster’s brother from another mother will star in a crossover with Batman, DC’s dark knight this Autumn and Alastor will remain sassy as the radio demon co-running the hotel [86] [88]. Keep expressing your creativity [22] [31] [32] [58] [89] [99], whether you consider yourself classic or trendy and stay sinful [21]!

Despite the despair I have expressed when it came to feeling like nobody wants me to enjoy watching Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss anymore [24] [83] [98], I am thankful that there are people willing to fully listen to my perspective and not take my claims out of context or twist the story to gaslight me, turn people against me, etc. [75] [76]. Outside of my writing duties and my dream of finally getting married after all I have been through; I might as well get a white Xbox Series S this Christmas to provide some somewhat new gaming opportunities for me and my fiancé [18]. [57]


As always, please do not go and harass those whose opinions differ from mine [26] [60] [95] [96]. I may vent, but I do not condone online abuse [83]. And as always, thank you for reading! [56]
