Even More Hopes For Helluva Hotel In Hell

Disclaimer:

This is an article reflecting on two cartoon pilots and a first season set in the same fictional universe that contain content aimed at mature audiences, including:

•        Strong cartoon violence, including blood and gore
•        Moderate drug references
•        Strong profanity
•        Explicit sex references
•        Hellish and disturbing imagery
•        Other mature subjects, including suicide

There will be also a theory about a fictional character regarding signs of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Reader discretion is advised.

Hello and buongiorno, fellow Hazbeans! The potentially official Italian dub for “That’s Entertainment”, the pilot episode of Hazbin Hotel premiered today after being teased on Twitter and the solo YouTube channel owned by its creative team over two weeks ago [7] [8] [28]. Accordingly, the team’s Italian dub for the pilot episode of Helluva Boss will be established during the next Christmas break, further enhancing the Vivziepop circles of Hell’s appeal to Italian viewers [15]. Surely, an official Japanese dub of the sister series’ pilot and the French dub of the first episode of its first season are highly likely to eventually be established [42] [87] [88], even though how the characters only have four fingers on each hand could negatively affect the appeal in Japan [1]. With the sixth episode of Helluva Boss taking an extra month to produce, according to a tweet and a promotional video for the Spring sales of new merchandise [32] [51], I thought I might wedge some more hopes for both properties in between the release date of “The Harvest Moon Festival” and the rest of this Summer when the sixth episode will be established after the appeal of the Italian dub of “That’s Entertainment” spawned [8] [47]. Besides, there is plenty of Angel Dust’s fluff for every Hazbean to go around [36].

Congratulazioni to the Hazbin Hotel Italiania Team for successfully establishing the seemingly official Italian dub of the pilot [8], just like how the Hazbin Hotel Version Française team worked diligently on establishing the official French dub back in May 2020 [22] [75] [76]! I thought the Italian dub was going to be uploaded onto Vivienne Medrano’s YouTube channel, but I suppose the Italiania Team must be aware of how busy her schedule must be currently. Furthermore, I could still classify it as an official dub as the team even took some time to translate the show’s logo for the thumbnail. [8]

Let us investigate what we could expect from future developments of other characters of Hazbin Hotel. I would be highly interested to see how Alastor evolved into an overlord after being dammed for his sins [8]. After all, he is one of the most recognisable characters besides Angel Dust. Perhaps that could be established in a flashback during the run of the hotel’s business. He is quite the antihero as proven in the comic series named “The Radio Demon” [2] [3] [4] [5], so we are yet to see how he would either assist in helping a sinner be redeemed or cause the personal progress to backfire solely for entertainment. Some of his antiheroic tendencies are highly similar to Venom’s mannerisms in his live-action film that was released in 2018 [4] [5] [69], especially when the overlord slaughters a butcher who was assaulting a sheep-like sinner. I still do not think the radio demon can be trusted with driving without running over a pedestrian, but perhaps he can go on a “second date” with Angel Dust at the bar in a new episode of Hazbin Hotel [41]. I also thank him dearly for making me lose my appetite in a speed drawing of him from Summer 2017 [49].

We know that Alastor only wants to help Charlie run a hotel for sinners to become better people just for his own amusement. I am pretty sure he would still violate her privacy by using Angel Dust to break into her room [35]. Other than that, could there be a flashback of how he was a radio show host when he was still alive that will expand on his character development? [8]

Could there be a softer side of Husk in an episode of the first season of Hazbin Hotel? Surely, he is grouchy and apathetic as shown in the pilot [8], but I would be interested to see the reason why he is often like that. Perhaps that can be established in a flashback in a new episode. I am sure he could eventually get along with Angel Dust at the bar at some point during his road to redemption. After all, he is hinted that he is pansexual [17]. There can also be examples of how he can speak in a different language, such as Italian and Mandarin Chinese in some new episodes. Niffty ought to receive some development outside of her cleaning duties in the series, speaking in Japanese, being a hopeless romantic and playing either the guitar or tambourine in another musical number [19]. Perhaps she can develop a relationship with a fellow cleaner or a guest. During the gradual success of the hotel’s business, there ought to be some fascinating developments of the employees besides a variety of sinners doing their best to be considered decent enough to start a new afterlife in Heaven.

Funny I should mention Husk’s ability to speak Italian considering the release of the potentially official Italian dub of the pilot. [8]

Perhaps Husk, Niffty, Mimzy and Angel Dust can form a team if the hotel is put at risk of going bankrupt, even if it resorts to them being in a provocative car washing montage. What a team they would be [50]! As for the solo development for Niffty, I am sure that it will be utterly adorable. [8]

Any other characters who only made cameos in “That’s Entertainment”? Perhaps a new episode can feature how Rosie feels about Franklin’s tragic fare and how it could affect Rosie’s Emporium in a side plot [21]. We are yet to see how Lucifer Magne, Charlie’s father is a completely separate character from Satan. No! Not Satan, otherwise known as “Dark Prince” outside of Japan from the Puyo Puyo series [62]! I just wonder how functional the relationships with his wife and daughter will be, compared to a certain family of royal birds from Helluva Boss. Ugh! How I wish for karma to kick Valentino in the nuts for how abusive he is to Angel Dust [24] [89] [90]. Vox and Velvet may also be considered awful overlords as well, but they would need to be guilty of deplorable crimes at some point in the television series [25] [26]. Crymini is apparently into pornographic media at the age of nineteen [13], but could that lead to some consequences? Aside from how I wish some of these cameos the best when it comes to getting a new voice and some focus in the television series, how I want to see Katie Killjoy get fired from 666 News at some point [8]!

Featuring what character developments will be in other places besides the hotel in subplots, including Rosie’s Emporium can prevent the prime premise from gradually going stale. [8]

What can I say about the rest of Angel Dust’s family and peers beside his twin sister and Cherri Bomb [91] [92]? Arackniss, his older brother does not seem to be a very nice fellow [10]. The same could apply to that one-eyed fellow in the music video for “Addict” with Cherri Bomb showing signs of disapproval towards him [89] [90]. Furthermore, he might be an antagonist in a new episode of the first season of Hazbin Hotel. The name of Angel’s father appears to be a play on the word “heroin” [16]. I think establishing that he and his wife have been divorced at some point would make the cast a bit more diverse. Could a half-toxic family be another part of the four-armed frenemy’s desires to enter Heaven besides how his boss is abusive [9] [73] [74] [89] [90]? Perhaps the first appearances of his father and brother can be loosely based on the popular animatic by Medrano that was uploaded onto her YouTube channel back in early 2015 [39]. On second thought, there could be a sudden appearance of a certain Bryrin, the four-armed frenemy’s creepy fanboy, as long as some security guards will be involved [8] [75] [76]. You know, just in case. Lastly, could Travis eventually leave his wife for Angel Dust in the forthcoming season [23]?

A multilingual fetish request. Very welcoming indeed. [8]

Another sign of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss being set in the same fictional interpretation of Hell is how Travis from “That’s Entertainment” made a cameo in “Spring Broken”. I wonder how the rest of his sinful love life…or should I say “lust life” will be in the rest of the Hazbin Hotel series? [8]

The first season of Helluva Boss has been outstanding so far, even though the fourth episode would be considered my least favourite one for specific reasons [43] [87] [88]. We are yet to find out what will happen at a restaurant in the Lust Ring named “Ozzie’s” that was revealed in the trailer [73] [74]. I still must urge the creative team to establish a second season for 2022 as publicly referring to a series so far as “Season 1” would be ultimately pointless if there are no plans for a second season. What if there could be a tribe of hellhounds who are pirates who steer their ship across the sea in a ring that has not been established in the series yet [80] [81]? Could one of them be the girlfriend of Vortex, the male hellhound who Loona seemed to have the hots for in “Spring Break” [46]? How my fellow Hazbeans would yearn to see the depths of a second season after the completion of the first one, similar to how our English-speaking fellow kitties will look forward to the English release of the sports-themed third season of Hello Kitty Fun, otherwise known as “Sweet Moments With Hello Kitty” is undoubtful [29] [30] [31].

Please excuse my strange ideas for a new episode of Helluva Boss, my fellow murder professionals. I am not one of the show’s writers, but I am always up for outstanding fanfiction. [42]

Surely, there ought to have been an official name for the pilot of Helluva Boss. Perhaps that can be established for a somewhat remastered version of it as a new episode as that worked for an episode of Regular Show titled “First Day” that was basically the pilot, but with some extra footage to make it look like a new episode that takes place on the first day of Mordecai and Rigby working at the park [64] [65]. [42]

Surely, the I.M.P. business ought to keep running for the second season of Helluva Boss. Blitzo may not act professionally to Moxxie and Millie [42], but I believe there can be a sign of him gradually softening up to Stolas, not just because he needs his book to access the human world [47] [95] [96]. Too bad his father was unsupportive of his dreams of being a musical actor [42], but maybe a new episode could establish how he could have the determination to become one again. We are yet to see the portrayal of his sisters as one of them was mentioned in “Spring Break” by Verosika Mayday [46]. Speaking of the succubus who has the voice of an angel, I believe there can be a flashback of how she and Blitzo used to have the hots for one another before things got cold, possibly during the times when the hell of a boss had a job at Loo Loo Land [44]. I would be thrilled to see any of the Immediate Murder Professionals in new outfits in the last three episodes of the first season, quite like how I would be delighted to see Angela in some dazzling new outfits in future updates of My Talking Angela 2 [93] [94].

There may have been a report of Moxxie and Millie being rather out of character in “C.H.E.R.U.B.” [63], but at least there can be more moments of more faithful portrayals later in the first season. I do not hate that episode as I recall mostly reviewing it positively, but it would still be considered my least favourite one so far [87] [88]. But as for Moxxie, I think I have an explanation why he only has a panic attack during specific assignments. [45]

Even though Helluva Boss is full of quirky adult humour, I have gained a theory that Moxxie could eventually be diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder during the last day of Spring sales of new Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss merchandise [48]. In the pilot, he wakes up from a bad dream about his parents getting killed and feels awful about harming Eddie during an assignment. His panicking and loss of focus in “Murder Family” could have something to do with the dream he had in the pilot as he could not bear to see two parents in the human world meet their fate [45], possibly in the same way his parents did [54]. Furthermore, the reason why he does not seem to be hesitant about killing a suicidal greedy man in “C.H.E.R.U.B.” is probably that he is only fully willing to do his job if nothing particularly reminds him of his parents’ deaths during the assignment [43]. There must be some legitimate reason for a moment that would be considered out of character [63], right? If Moxxie truly has PTSD, a new episode ought to feature a scene of him having a flashback of his parents’ deaths that does not heavily affect the usual humourous tone of the show but make him more sympathetic [54].

It is still unknown if Moxxie’s parents are dead or not but identifying specific signs in his development throughout the first season so far, I would say he could have PTSD and that his parents might be deceased. This is quite similar to how I theorised that Sam-I-Am from Green Eggs And Ham could have bipolar disorder [77] [78]. I know it is silly how he would rather have a nightmare about his parents meeting their fate than encounter his boss stalking him, but how he possibly deals with PTSD could be such a memorable aspect of his character. [42]

I still question why Stolas has an affair that greatly angers Stella besides how it is part of Blitzo’s deals with him when it comes to accessing the human world. I would be interested to see another heart-warming flashback of when Octavia was a child. Perhaps if Stolas and Stella’s marriage never became loveless, they would have had a second child. Could the fact that Octavia does not have any siblings be part of why she is often moody and rather cynical at times? We are yet to find out how often will Stolas be protected at Ozzie’s and see if Striker will try to assassinate him once again. To an extent, I can see that it is possible to root for a character without condoning their questionable actions, especially if the chunks of gold in their heart shimmer when it comes to other aspects of their portrayal. Perhaps after Patina Wainscot from the trailer for The Sims 4: Dream House Decorator dies, she can help revamp some rooms of Stolas’ mansion or the rooms in a new luxurious royal villa for him after he and Stella finally divorce [68], but without him leaving Octavia behind [73] [74]. Me and my weird crossovers [85].

A younger Octavia dressed up as the Big Bad Wolf with her father cosplaying as Little Red Riding Hood is utterly brilliant! But will the true Big Bad Wolf be her mother all along? The ending of “The Harvest Moon Festival” was a big red flag [47]. [14]

Will Brock Baker eventually decide to voice Stolas once again [42], but in a fanmade project? It worked for the previous voice actors of certain Sonic the Hedgehog characters in Sonic and Tails R [33] [34] [67], right? [45]

Perhaps a character who had only appeared in one episode could return in a new one for some further development. Striker has gained quite a lot of popularity in the Helluva Boss fandom. Due to his manipulative nature, arrogance and lack of remorse for how he tried to secretly kill Stolas [47] [95] [96], I would say he could eventually be diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder or simply sociopathy [72]. I personally ship him with the one and only Verosika since they both offended a member of the I.M.P. during a musical number and how they both have a highly prideful sense of self-worth [46] [47]. As previously mentioned, I would be interested to see how the demonic vixen was still smitten with Blitzo during the times he was working at Loo Loo Land in a new episode as that would lead to some further character development in a new episode [44] [46] [79]. As for Mrs. Mayberry, will she still have a passion for teaching and such [45]? If so, could she be a new teacher for Octavia during some new homeschooling sessions? Making a one-note character return in a new episode can provide a great opportunity to develop said character even further and provide some new exploration within a new and engaging plot.

Will Striker get him next time? Could he really have Antisocial Personality Disorder? He has to appear in the next episode after the shocking ending and cliffhanger, right? [47]

Perhaps Verosika could sing another song about promiscuity in a future episode, but there will be more on what kind of music we can expect in the future of both cartoons later. Stay alert, sinners and hellborns! [46]

Could the other six rings be established in Hazbin Hotel, despite how sinners can only access the Pride Ring [20]? Despite how the Pride Ring is the largest, I am sure that it would be convenient to let sinners access the other six rings to try and somewhat solve Hell’s problem with overpopulation without an extermination? I believe that Vaggie, a sinner being able to access Hell outside of the Pride Ring under the supervision of Charlie, a hellborn would be part of keeping their relationship strong [8] [95] [96]. The back of a long-sleeved shirt based on Verosika’s Hell Tour hinted that a city in the Greed Ring is named “Mint City", along with a city in the Wrath Ring named “Los Satanio” and a town in the Sloth Ring named “Dreamsville” [71]. It would be important to establish those locations eventually, otherwise, the design of the shirt would age like milk. Somehow like how I believe there can be more locations based on cities in real-life for Angela to travel to in My Talking Angela 2 [90] [91], I would be fascinated in seeing what lies in the Lust, Sloth, Gluttony and Envy Rings of Hell. Oh. And do not forget to give those rings their own uniquely coloured and stylised skies [95] [96]!

Wouldn’t it make more sense for the food supply of Hell to be produced in the Gluttony Ring instead of the Wrath Ring [27]? I guess Medrano did not want make where certain aspects of Hell occur too obvious. [47]

How us Hazbeans would love to see what lies in the Lust, Sloth, Gluttony and Envy Rings is quite like how plenty of Sailor Moon fans would love to see more Sailor Moon compact playsets that would feature other prime settings in the anime series and the other sailors, including Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter [52] [57] [61] [66]. [71]

So far, we saw what Heaven looks like in more detail in “C.H.E.R.U.B.” [43]. Firstly, it was only depicted briefly in the pilot of Hazbin Hotel as a very small view in the sky of the Pride Ring [8] [14]. In the first season of Helluva Boss, we notice that there is a town for cherubs named “Cherub Towne”, along with a business that is the polar opposite of Immediate Murder Professionals [43]. There is still some speculation that rehabilitated sinners will have angelic forms once they enter Heaven, quite like how we may expect the banished cherubs to have hellish forms in a new episode they may return in. Another expansion of what Heaven is like could potentially make up for how “C.H.E.R.U.B.” would be my least favourite episode of Helluva Boss so far [87] [88]. As a supporter of gay marriage and same-sex adoption, I would love to see a petition to stop homosexuality from being considered “sinful” become successful in a new episode of Hazbin Hotel or Helluva Boss. I bet Leon Starlight, a character from one of my short stories would sign it [86]. Aside from that, I still wonder how Lisa Cooper can enter Heaven and receive glossy eyes and light brown hair [84].

The prime colour palette for Heaven that consists of several tints of blue and yellow is absolutely…heavenly. I would love to see a redeemed Angel Dust as an angel, free from Valentino’s abuse [88] [89]. [12]

I have saved one of the best things about both cartoons for last. I believe that new songs for Hazbin Hotel ought to be in different genres of music [83], just like how notable songs in Helluva Boss are in different genres [95] [96]. We are aware that the genre for “Addict” by Silva Hound is electronic dance [6]. I would love to listen to a smooth jazz ballad either about Charlie and Vaggie’s relationship or Mimzy’s materialism [8] [18]. A classical theme song about Sir Pentious being evil would be witty. Could a song for Vaggie be in any subgenre of metal to enrich her self-empowerment? Some of the new songs might be covers of already-existing songs as there was a cover of “I’m Always Chasing Rainbows” in “That’s Entertainment” [91] [92]. As for the future of Helluva Boss, I would love to listen to a jazz ballad sung by Stolas dedicated to his feelings for Blitzo. As stated in my review of “The Harvest Moon Festival”, a death metal number performed by Stella would be wicked [58] [95] [96]! Different genres for different songs in more episodes of Hazbin Hotel can increase their individuality and help the television series appeal to Hazbeans with different musical tastes [59] [60]. The same ought to apply for a second season of Helluva Boss.

As much as we adore the hell out of “Addict” [6] [88] [89], I think Angel Dust’s next song should be an R&B song to increase Hazbin Hotel’s appeal for providing different music genres [38] [59] [60]. As previously mentioned, there could be another pop song sung by Verosika if she returns in a future episode of Helluva Boss. Could her next song be sung in a specific subgenre of pop, such as country pop? If I ever get the genre of a song in Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss wrong, my fellow sinners are free to correct me. [9]

As previously stated in my review of “The Harvest Moon Festival”, there could be a reprise of an already existing song with a different set of lyrics [95] [96]. For example, there could be a second version of the C.H.E.R.U.B. jingle performed by a different team of the C.H.E.R.U.B. on a TV channel in Hell and watched by the former members [87] [88], leading to a plot about them ending up in Hell and possibly trying to seek revenge on the I.M.P. for how they were banished from Heaven. [43]

In conclusion, there are many hopes I have for the first season of Hazbin Hotel and the second season of Helluva Boss, such as new songs in different music genres and amazing portrayal and development for new characters, along with already established stars [91] [92]. Even though I miss the simpler times during specific years, I can still admire and appreciate brand new things in 2021, such as the new flaming heart emoji and the surprisingly mostly faithful revival of the Rugrats franchise [55] [56] [82]. I do not doubt that some new Italian Hazbeans have enjoyed the hell out of the seemingly official Italian dub of “That’s Entertainment” produced by the Hazbin Hotel Italiania Team that was uploaded on their YouTube channel [8]. Can a second season prevent the sinister sister series from jumping a demonic shark that swims in lava [70], taking Jaws to a whole new level [53]? Will the longer wait for the sixth episode of the first season be worth it? I have been analysing Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss since the release of the English pilots in late 2019 and I am proud to consider myself a Hazbean who has an impsona named “Gora Killiams” [22] [91] [92]. Arrivederci! Stay sinful!

I would highly recommend that the whole first season will be released on DVD soon as that can make the series still accessible just in case there is no strong internet connection in your house…or just in case Medrano’s channel suddenly becomes a victim of YouTube’s corrupt system. Other than that, I am sure that we shall look forward to the potentially official Italian dub of the pilot this December [15]. [42]

As for Hazbin Hotel, perhaps there can be another language dub of the pilot in the future [8]. Can Charlie’s dream of solving Hell’s overpopulation problem in a new way come true? There will be more hopes and theories from my fellow Hazbeans and I in the near future of both franchises, especially when the last three episodes of the first season of Helluva Boss get released. Now if you will excuse me, I need to give Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village a call [37]. [11]

Greetings, all you sinners and hellborns of the Helluva Boss fandom. I still wonder how Lisa Cooper, my own Hazbin Hotel character will be allowed into Heaven after two new waves of plushies and some limited-edition pins became available to pre-order [55] [61]. Rumour has it that uncensored versions of the third and fourth episodes of the first season may be uploaded onto Newgrounds in association with a promotion soon [1] [41]. If so, then more power to the show that is so good it can be considered a sin. Since it has been about over a week since the release of the fifth episode of the first season [35], I shall voyage through it and analyse with all my might, loaded with ammo. After all, it is outstanding how it achieved over ten million views within three days. That is about another more chuck of my soul sold to Lucifer Magne, the ruler of Hell [22]. Despite how I am still the closest friend of Nergal from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy to this day [8], at least Lucifer would be kind enough to offer me a caramel apple…possibly whilst looking right at me with Kaa eyes [22] [52] [53] [54].

How the synopsis for each episode on the Hazbin Hotel Wiki is like, “When this premise occurs, things sure do happen.” is utterly brilliant [20]! Spoiler-free and totally witty! As much as I would love to attend a successor to High School Story or Hollywood U after celebrating the sweet sixteenth anniversary of Surviving High School [46] [47] [72] [73], I would love to see how the next season will continue to enrich the show’s legacy. [28]

We are all aware by now that Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss are aimed at adults [48], so if you are under the age of eighteen, please do not review the series with me. [34]

What else can I say about the Immediate Murder Professionals now that I am reviewing episode número cinco? Let us start with Blitzy...I mean Blitzo! Well, he still shows up at Moxxie and Millie’s house without their consent [35], which was previously established in the pilot [36]. Nonetheless, he is still quirky and thirsty for action, making explicit remarks and taking part in a competition known as the “Pain Games” [35]. I thought that a new character was going to become a new member of his team when he took notice of his abilities. I really thought he was going to fall for his manipulation after he tries to stop him from doing such a foul deed [27]! This has led me to believe that he might genuinely care about a certain sexually deviant bird, although he said he just came to the rescue solely for access to the human world. I can see that he is still quite the brony, just like how Deadpool is very fond of unicorns [11] [12]. Surely he still loves his hellhound daughter very much, but who else would he sincerely care for in the near future of the show?

How Blitzo ultimately pretended to fall for a new villain’s persuasion is an interesting take on his character in a new episode. [35]

Aside from how cool he looks in his country outfit, we are yet to find out how he will face the real Fizzarolli after a duel with his robotic counterpart [19] [59] [60]. [35]

Millie’s excitement when it comes to a new assignment is adorable as always [35]. She looks absolutely amazing in her countryside outfit. To a degree, I know how she felt when she was refused the opportunity to compete in the Pain Games as I discovered some opportunities but got rejected from them. The way she consoles Moxxie after he gets injured is touching as she reminds him that he does not need her parents’ approval to maintain their unholy matrimony is heart-warming. It turns out that her full name is “Mildred”, which is an interesting addition to her backstory [28]. An insanely thrilling part of it would be how she caught a deadly bouquet at one of the brothers’ wedding before she got married to Moxxie, leading me to believe it must have been deadlier than the bouquet Princess Peach held as a bride in Super Mario Odyssey [43]. What would a team of animated brutes be without a little girl power? I wonder if there will be a reprise of “Oh Millie” from the pilot [36]. I strongly believe Millie would deserve it for being a noble spouse, as well as a self-empowered dame [35].

“Yee-f**king-haw!” – Millie, 2021. [35]

Hopefully in the sixth episode, Millie will be in one piece. [35]

The design of Moxxie’s Hellphone is pretty neat, along with how his ringtone is a reference to The Phantom of The Opera [28] [35]. He looks rather sophisticated in his countryside attire. He may have been a target for ridicule from his boss and father-in-law for how he is considered the “weakest” of the group, but how he at least tried to show his worth, despite his wife telling him he does not have to and how an injury motivates him into competing in the Pain Games was a whole new element of his character that was quite relatable to a degree. His near-death experience caused by a new character was chilling, but I felt relief when Millie came to the rescue once again. On a lighter note, it was pretty amusing how he mentioned the feeling he should have used his gun before his fight with the fiend. It sure was nice to see him not get seriously injured at the end of an episode, aside from how he kept getting attacked by a shark during the Pain Games. He and Millie have had some great additional character development in “The Harvest Moon Festival”, as well as an amazingly happy marriage [38] [39].

How Moxxie felt inferior compared to another new character is yet another empathetic part of his character. The way Millie’s parents disapproved of him marrying her somehow reminds me of how Mama Cosma hates Wanda in the Fairly Odd Parents series [13]. [35]

Aside from the further development of the hellishly married couple, we also see Wally Wackford once again as the host of the Pain Games [31]. I believe he could be hiding some new conning schemes behind this persona. [35]

After seeing a preview that was posted on Twitter back in April, Stolas made me question if he was cosplaying as Palpatine from the Star Wars franchise [30] [75]. It turns out that he had yet another...special session with the quirky hell of a boss [35]. Just look at the ball gag around his neck and how his wrists are tied together by a rope at the beginning of the episode. How kinky. Later on, he is seen in his regal royalty outfit from the pilot once again, sitting on a stool on stage and following his royal duties as one of the hosts of the Pain Games [31]. If he chose to let the hell of a boss go to try and stay faithful to Stella, the I.M.P. would be close to becoming bankrupt as Stolas is the one who has the book that lets the imps travel to the human world [34]. Nevertheless, there are other ways for a demon to gain such access, such as how Verosika and her pack of succubi were able to in “Spring Break” [62] [63]. It is great to see the lanky prince voice return with his seductive nature and alluring voice after his absence. His Voxtagram post featuring him checking out Blitzo’s behind is hilarious [16]! 

This particular scene reminds me of how Deadpool punishes me by handcuffing me if I tease him about what music he “likes” [62] [63] [74]. Apart from how Stolas’ vocabulary is sophisticated and Blitzo’s spelling is known to be terrible for advertising [57] [58], I bet they could be even closer in another episode. [35]

A new and refreshing aspect of Stolas’ character is how he is the co-host of the Pain Games who later curses the ring by the power of his book, meaning that he at least takes his royal duties seriously to a degree. [35]

There are two new imps who reside in a small ranch named “Lin” and “Joe” [32]. They are Millie’s parents, but it is a shame that they seem to disapprove of Moxxie due to a slipup he caused [35]. Another new imp within Millie’s family is Sallie May, her sister. She is quite the snarky one, huh? She appears to be a trans character [26], adding more to the LGBT representation of Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel, much to my delight. There is some speculation that Rivet from Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart could be a trans character too [68] [69]. It is fascinating to see some new imp traditions outside of Imp City, including Millie’s family. How the training for an imp to evolve into a feisty fighter appears to be passed on from one generation to another with the way Lin and Joe raised Millie and her siblings as an example must be the reason why imps are considered the “lowest” in Hell’s society. The number of characters increasing in the first season is unmistakable but consistent as each new character has been introduced fittingly with their own traits [64] [65], providing memorability when it comes to remarkable writing.

Howdy, Lin and Joe! Too bad your son-in-law had to stand up for your little pumpkin spice eventually [28]. [35]

I would be delighted to see more LGBT representation in the near futures of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, including a little more transgender representation. [35]

A new imp in Hell outside of Millie’s family who makes his debut in “The Harvest Moon Festival” is no other than Striker [27] [35]. He sure is arrogant and menacing, provoking Moxxie into competing against him and not showing affection towards a fangirl who tried to get near him. It turns out that imps can even fight imps outside of the special events due to how Striker later tries to assassinate Stolas at Lin and Joe’s house. I could not believe he tried to strangle Moxie to death during a brawl and how he tried to convince Blitzo to join him and slay overlords in Hell instead of sinners on Earth. And I thought the mascots from those Kellogg’s Fruit Winders adverts known as the “Chewchat Gang” from the 2000s were sadistic [4] [5] [6] [7] [50] [51]. I am pretty sure that after Striker enjoys his stays at a motel that definitely does not consist of the same purpose as Hazbin Hotel, he will keep working alone as a possible freelancer. Am I the only one who ships him with Verosika due to how villainous they are [64] [65]? Well, grab me by the hair and dye it #b00b69 during any of my punishments in the Pride Ring [3].

Howdy, Striker! You seem like a feisty freelancer. There is a purdy succubus you might be interested in dating [64] [65]. [35]

Is the Goetia family still dysfunctional? I believe so! I was absolutely shocked to find out that not only did Striker escape...but has been hired by the wrathful Stella [27] [35]! Thank goodness Octavia was distracted by music from her MP3 player during their dinner time. I know that cheating on a partner is wrong but hiring someone to kill the cheater is just too extreme! Furthermore, the reason why Stolas was a target for murder could back up a theory that his wife had always been abusive, even before his infidelity with a class she does not approve of began. It is no wonder Stolas struggled to clearly explain why he cheats with Blitzo to his teenage daughter near the ending of “Loo Loo Land” [59] [60]. Moreover, I do not want to break the hearts of my fellow Hazbeans, but there is a possibility that Stolas could perish in a new episode as there are some lines in “You Will Be Okay” that build up a hint [29]. Nevertheless, there is a chance that he will be saved once again by his knight in hellish armour [59] [60]. On a lighter note, there is hope that Via could run her own spa someday after her eighteenth birthday [15].

I understand that getting cheated on is a terrible and heartbreaking experience, but seriously! It is not an excuse to want someone dead, even if the person is the cheater. Have we learned nothing from Mrs. Mayberry’s fate [34]? I mean, come on! Stella is not even thinking about how her daughter would feel about her father tragically dying! [35]

We finally get to see another ring in Hell, besides the Greed Ring from “Loo Loo Land” and the Pride ring from the pilots of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss [23] [24]. For part of the Wrath Ring, the Western-themed setting seems quite chill, but only if there is no competitive tension [35]. The colour palette for the countryside is quite earthy, yet there are some more volcanic and hellish areas of the Wrath Ring under a reddened sky that is quite like the sky of the Pride Ring, but without a colossal pentagram [24]. I am suspecting that the sky of the Lust Ring would be a colour like indigo to match the colour palette shown in the trailer for the first season [57] [58]. Reflecting on how the Greed Ring’s sky is fittingly green as shown in “Loo Loo Land” [21] [59] [60], we can simply wonder what the prime colours and details of the other four rings will be, especially for the skies. Aside from how I know that a restaurant named “Ozzie’s” will be in the Lust Ring [23], I am more than curious to see what the Envy, Gluttony and Sloth Rings will be like [14].

Apparently, sinners from Hazbin Hotel are only allowed in the Pride Ring of Hell. Wouldn’t it make more sense for sexually deviant sinners, such as prostitutes to reside in the Lust Ring and more greedy sinners, such as scammers and bank robbers to end up in the Greed Ring? I suppose all sinners would need a special pass to travel to another ring or something without causing any of them to collide. Besides, the lives lost in Pac-Man ought to end up in the Gluttony Ring [40]! [24]

Despite my claim about the Wrath Ring’s sky, I would state that its signature colour is orange due to the orbs of lavas hovering over its volcanos and to avoid confusion with the Pride Ring as its signature colour might as well be red [24]. Since we know that the Greed Ring’s signature colour is green [59] [60], I believe that the Lust Ring’s signature colour would either be blue, purple or indigo [23]. [35]

Aside from how uniquely designed the Wrath Ring is, the visuals and animation are once again dynamic and masterful [35]. The exterior of Stolas’ palace is still detailed and stunningly regal at a different time of day during the present. An example of a great lighting effect would be the beam of red light beaming through the screen of Moxxie’s Hellphone when it rings. The movement of the galloping horse’s feet is intensely frantic, enhancing the introduction of Striker. How fluid and rapid the animation gets in the Pain Games adds to the intensity of demons in Hell competing like athletes, apart from how Stolas’ animation during his first speech looks slightly choppy for some reason, which could be just me. How dark the spare room at Lin and Joe’s house is and how tints of red and Striker’s piercing eyes stand out from it during his brawl against Moxxie make it absolutely terrifying, similar to how the scene when Moxxie gets captured in “Murder Family” looked traumatic with highly similar elements [34]. The detailed cartoony visuals and advanced animation, along with many forms of adult humour are the best selling points of the show, so it would be important to maintain such outstanding quality for more episodes.

Were you expecting the Harvest Moon Festival to be like the Harvest Moon franchise [44]? In your dreams! [35]

The moment Stolas curses the festival with the sight of the full red moon is absolutely mesmerising as the aura of his telekinetic powers surrounds the cosmical view. [35]

I recall declaring “You Will Be Okay” from “Loo Loo Land” my favourite song of the first season back in late 2020 [18] [29] [59] [60]. But what about the new song in “The Harvest Moon Festival” [35]? The victory song sung by Striker once he takes it away sounds rather intimidating yet empowering as a more villainous and self-centred version of “Sweet Victory” from Band Geeks, one of the most memorable and critically acclaimed episodes of Spongebob Squarepants [49]. Yeehaw! I have noticed that all the songs in the series so far are in different music genres. We might as well sort them into:

•         “Oh Millie” – Acoustic Ballad [36]
•         “You Will Be Okay” – Rock Ballad [10] [18]
•         “Vacay To Bonetown” – Pop [17]
•         “Teacher’s Song” – Children’s Music [34]
•         “Sweet Victory” – Country Rock [35]

The way that each musical number is in a different style of music makes them unique in their own way and appeals to Hazbeans with different musical tastes. What’s next? A death metal song about Stella’s anger towards Stolas’ adultery – Aggretsuko style [35] [45] [59] [60]? That would be wicked! But as previously mentioned, there might as well as a reprise of a song, such as “Oh Millie” and “You Will Be Okay” that feature a new set of lyrics [29].

Striker sings quite powerfully [27]. It was quite deplorable how he insulted Moxxie during his performance though. It is no wonder I ship him with Verosika [64] [65]. [35]

You can see how far Medrano has come since the release of Timber back in 2014 [37]. I can already imagine a second season of Helluva Boss running on the web with more musical numbers and intense adult humour next year, quite like how I imagined a sequel to the broadway musical based on Frozen before the release of Frozen II [70] [71]. As previously stated in the previous double review, publicly labelling a series as “Season 1” would become pointless if there will suddenly be no plans for a second season at all due to them being cancelled [64] [65]. Please do not make the same mistakes that were made in Banjo-Tooie and Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc [2] [42]. Oh! And no more unsolved cliffhangers please!! I would recommend making the first season available on DVD after all eight episodes are complete…just in case Medrano’s YouTube channel suddenly gets shut down as YouTube and its terms of service can hardly be trusted these days. Would getting kidnapped by Angel Dust from Hazbin Hotel be what I get for reviewing the music video for “Addict” last year [9] [66] [67]? I believe that I will always be a fan of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, whether I am a MobéBud or not [56].

Who knows what quirky remarks Angel Dust would spout next [33]? We are yet to see more of the Pride Ring when the Hazbin Hotel TV series airs. As for Helluva Boss, what will we know about the Gluttony, Sloth, Lust and Envy Rings since sinners from Hazbin Hotel are apparently only allowed in the Pride Ring? Stay sinful, murder professionals! [35]
