I don't know if you know the hierarchy in hell yet, but just letting you know that Stolas is a Goetia Prince, which means he is stronger than all of the Overlords in Hazbin Hotel. The hierarchy is like this: Lucifer > Lilith & Charlie > 7 Deadly Sins > Ars Goetia > Overlords > Sinners > Hellborns > Low-Class Hellborns (Imps and Hellhounds)
Exacly!!!, also there are 7 rings in Hell, the first and biggest being the Pride Ring, home to Lucifer and the setting of Hazbin Hotel!!! The other rings in order being: Wrath Ring, home to Satan Gluttony Ring, home to Beelzebub Greed Ring, home to Mammon Lust Ring, home to Asmodeus Envy Ring, home to Leviathan and Sloth Ring, home to Belphegor
@@MeatSim9Yeah, thats why he has the similar eye appearance and is rooster themed. Idk if they’re literally cousins, but he is Goetia. I looked it up to make sure and it says, “One of the sins is Asmodeus, a Goetia who already outranked Stolas (Asmodeus is a king and Stolas is a prince), but being one of Lucifer's direct subordinates only increases his power.”
that has never been confirmed, not all of the goetia are close relatives or they may not be relatives at all, Viv expanded on the concept of the Ars Goetia, there are more than just 72 demons (considering Octavia and Stella exist, and that Stella definitely has parents of her own, there are quite a few of them that showed up to Not Divorced Anniversary, we see some at the cafe during s2e4, so it already would like 30 of them) it seems like they are a separate spices of hellborn of which there are probably hundreds if not more@@AimeeFrizzyAnime
The main characters in this show are all hell-born not sinners so they were never humans that died and went to hell they’re just the creatures that are born in hell
I think the character that recieved the biggest change from pilot to show proper is actually Stolas. It's not actually very noticable on the first watch thru, as we don't REALLY know Stolas very well for a bit. It's something thats really only obvious when rewatching the pilot after getting to know him.
@@chelliespider Don't think he was ever supposed to be a villain but more so he was going to be more of a gag side character mostly just there for the sex jokes rather than pretty much the Duteragonist of the show he is now.
Stolas is a Goetia Prince and his job is astrology. To help navigate that, he has a grimoire that Blitz uses that allows him access to anywhere in the universe.
@@Goikuchan yeah but he's already posted 2 comments over explaining certain things. Its ok to clarify when its annoying when it gets spoilery, the whole poibt of a reaction is to watch him get invested and figure it out. Too much "clarifying" just makes things boring.
I understand wanting to tell him things that aren't spelled out in the show very clearly, or at least not until much later. But at least let the guy theorize a bit. 😂
Funny story: the pilot episode Stolas did the bleeped out language with nonsense babble, which supposedly is normal. When the new Stolas was cast, he actually went on a three minute long rant on all the things he wanted to do to Blitz that made the show’s creator’s jaw drop. They bleeped it out because they HAD to bleep it out. Also, the new one has an amazing singing voice.
I can see probably their future role in Hazbin Hotel. Ralphie and his kids want to be redeemed and going to Heaven. But Martha not, bacause of her cruel satanic views and believes. Also I really want Mrs. Mayberry getting her own second chance. Its episode are really shows two types of humans, ones who are just accidentally going there, and the others really deserves Hellish agony.
If you look at the back ground of the familys home, you'd see furniture and decorations made of human remains, indicating their cannibalistic nature before the kids grab moxxie
All you need to know us hazbin hotel is a show about the sinners. The ex-humans. They reside exclusively on the pride ring ruled by Lucifer. This show however is about the hellborn. The office is in the pride ring, and sinners are their clients, but it's mainly about the creatures born in hell (imps/hellhounds/goetia like stolas) and we see every other ring and the demons who lead them, the seven deadly sins. Though don't expect to ever see Lucifer or anyone from hazbin Hotel. Rights issues.
the main difference between the pilot and the actual show is actually the character of stolas (the owl prince guy with the magic book). however, the differences aren't super obvious in the first episode, but if you compare the pilot to later episodes, the difference is REALLY clear haha
9:15 That VA's been doing that noise since the 90's. I'm surprised his throat is still in one piece. I remember his character Daggett from the Angry Beavers doing it.
I’d say two episodes a week because that’s the groove we’ve already gotten into with the hazbin hotel reactions and these two videos we got today. Also 16 episodes (including the pilot) divided by 2 is perfect and would get us caught up without any weeks having one less or one extra episode. It would always be perfectly split
One thing that helps your understanding of this series especially is the power hierarchy. Top dog is Lusifer, wife Lilith, and Charlie. 2nd teir are the 7 deadly sins themselves. 3rd is the (forgive the spelling) Gouitia. 4th are the overlords. 5th are the Sinners. 6th are other various Hellborn. 7th, bottom of them all, are Imps and Hellhounds. Also note that Hellhounds are half known as just the bottom, half known as just pets. Love watching your experiences ,and keep up the great work 👍.
Thank you I was really confused about how Lucifer fits because I've seen that he's only the King of the Pride Ring and not ALL of Hell but he was Hell's creator so I was like huh wait what? So he is technically ALL OF THE ABOVE.
@@Omn1MediaHe is the ruler of the pride ring as well as all of Hell. Whereas Satan is just one of the other 7 sins and is the ruler of the Wrath ring.
@@FenixTheSnolx I think some people made it seem like when they called him the Ruler of Hell it was really just his ring. I appreciate the clarification!
Thought I'd jump in here with trivia! The voice of the teacher is Mara Wilson, who played Matilda if you've ever seen that movie. And the satanist housewife is voiced by quirky drag queen Jinx Monsoon (who has done some voice work in a few other animated shows too, like Steven Universe). 🙂
I’d love it if you were able to do 2 episodes per week! Even when you catch up, the wait for Helluva Boss episodes is way less time than the Hazbin wait is going to be (they usually come out every few months, sometimes less). I’m loving watching your reactions so far! Thank you for sharing them with us!
I love how this episode plays with your brain visually to prove it's point about not knowing who someone is in private, or behind the scenes if you will. If you ever rewatch it pay close attention to the furniture and background of the scenes when Blits is aiming through the window especially around where Moxy makes him miss his shot and BEFORE the family is confirmed to be cannibals, the context and lighting of the scene literally trick your brain into thinking everything is normal, and much like the family, that is NOT the case.
This is a very important episode for the general lore. Because we saw cultists of the root of evil here and maybe some elements will later intertwine with them. The Root of Evil may be the main villain in Hazbin Hotel
since there's no watch-alongs on patreon you could pause the episodes when you have longer things to say, also there's a lot of fun details that you can catch if you pause to read or look. very excited for the reactions:)
I'm here to add another voice to the veritable chorus saying imps are all Hellborn, not Sinners. Stolas is also Hellborn, as are all Hellhounds, Succubi, Incubi and other major categories. It can be hard to tell visually between Sinners and Hellborn at times, but an easy way to tell is that if you see a type of demon outside the Ring of Pride, they are definitely Hellborn as Sinners can't leave Pride.
7:48 Well, each ring of hell appears to have at least one representative native species, colloquially known as the Hellborn class of demons. As far as we can tell, the Loan Sharks appear to be natives of the Greed ring. Hellhounds appear to be native to the Ring of Gluttony, as they are very similar in appearance to its ruler, Queen Beelzebub. Succubi/incubi are Lust natives (obviously 😅). Imps on the other hand can be found on any ring, and their Ring of Birth often alters the appearance of the imp itself. For example, the larger crescent horns and pointier head on Blitzø are indicative of a Pride Ring native, while straight pointy ones like Millie’s are common in Wrath.
I prefer 2 episodes a week. The thing with Helluva Boss is that there isn't a specific planed date that new episodes come out, if we're lucky we get 2 episodes a year but 1 is more common since HB doesn't have an official studio/network working on it like Hazbin the episodes are all written, produced, voiced and animated basically from home, whenever people can and therefore not on a specific deadline so the EPs just come out when there done so planning reactions to new episodes are basically impossible and there will always be a wait once you're caught up so I say do 2 EPs a week, really enjoy yourself until you are done with the current EPs and have to wait like the rest of us 😉
These reactions are gonna be amazing I’m so excited. Helluva boss despite its flaws is a great show with a lot of great episodes and I know you’re gonna love it
Fun fact about the Hell of thr Hellaverse, demons whi were born in hell like Moxxie, Blitz, Loona and Stolas can traverse and inhabit all the rings of hell. While sinners are only allowed to reside in the top most ring, Pride, that is where Hazbin is set. We don't know how or why thst is thr case tho, maybe it was a deal that Lucifer had to make with Adam since we know that Lucifer in thr first episode of Hazbin is stated by Lute to have spared Hellborns from the tip of an exterminator's blade Edit: also fun fact, Angel's family was a mob family, that was confirmed by Vivziepop, thry were mobsters and both his father and brother are in hell, his mother and sister are in heaven Also thr root of all evil is a fan name for a character thst viv showed in a Livestream called Roo, she was said to be important to Hazbin in the future. We don't know if thr name is true but she could be thr root of all evil
It could also be because the angels wanted Lucifer to see all of the bad and evil of humanity as punishment so they probably made it so sinners are sent to Lucifers ring and nothing else.
Oh, I cannot WAIT for you to see Stolas in his true form. You will start to like him quite a bit. I can imagine Moxxie's phone call going like "Hello. I need the police. My wife, boss, and I were all kidnapped by a cannibal family. Please hurry." Also, Satan and Lucifer are two different characters in this series.
Ikr? Hazbin is really great, but it’s limited to only showing the Pride ring and sinners. Helluva is able to explore different species of hellborn demons, the different rings, the Sins, and Earth.
FYI alastor is one step under sassy owl Stolas if we say in power and hierarchy. he is Ars Goetia so his position and power is no question for able to open moral world.
Happy you're doing Helluva Boss right after Hazbin. It's gonna be a good ride🎉🎉 In Helluva Boss the only sinners(people who died) are I.M.P's clients.(almost) We'll see a lot of demons and most of the rings of hell, but sinners can't leave the Pride ring, where I.M.P. office is located. In this series 99% of characters are hellspawn and while imps and hellhounds live and die almost like humans, demon Overlords existed since the beginning. (But Stolas is not that ancient, he's a demon prince/son of one of the overlords. Whichis very privileged position, but he is very much not unique in that.)
i am so excited for this. you have by far the most thoughtful commentary on the hellaverse projects i’ve seen from reaction channels so far, you catch so many little details and make connections that you’d expect from a long time fan! i hope you enjoy helluva just as much as you did hazbin :)
Another person gave a brief powerscaling scaling summary, so i will give you some basic functions of each teir. All hellborn are able to traverse to other layers of hell such as the greed or lust ring, but sinners are forever trapped in the pride ring even though, on average, they have more physical power. Additionally, the higher teirs have access to the mortal realm through innate magic within them. it is known that lucifer is trapped in hell, but idk if the other sins can leave themselves or if they are trapped too. Also, each layer of hell has a natural hellborn. We dont know the names of all of them. The ones we do have are imps- wrath, hellhounds- gluttony, loan sharks- greed, succubus- lust, candleheads- sloth. We dont know what the name of the fish people from envy are called and we dont know if the goetia are the hellborn of pride or moved there for business.
The cast of Helluva Boss are not Sinners. They are Imps and a Hellhound. Hellborn demons like Charlie, but unlike Charlie they were not born with blue blood at the top of the ladder. Which is what makes this show interesting. Hazbin shows us what life in Hell is like for those that are sent there, this one focuses of the demons that are born and grow up in Hell. As Sinners can't leave the Pride Ring we also get more chances to explore this version of Hell from the perspective of the lowest demons. How life treats them, how they make ends meat, and more about the hierarchy of Hell.
11:43 Tbh, there are a few ways to do that, especially if the one doing so is a higher ranking demon. Succubi for instance have gems granted by Asmodeus (ruler of Lust) that allow them to legally travel to earth to seek fun times with unsuspecting humans. Stolas’s book is far more thorough, as he needs it to study the stars of the living world.
The voice of Moxxie being the voice of Invader Zim & Billy&Mandy in particular is really cool, the creator Vivzie was highly inspired by them and this show's designs take a LOT from those character styles ^^ Blitzø in particular reminds me of Nergal from B&M and The Tallest from IZ ^^ I hope you do 2 a week!! They flow a lot better as the season goes since the plot is slow to develop, details are easier to forget since they're drip-fed really well. An example of just HOW detail oriented this show is: Mrs. Mayberry's hand on the chalkboard actually smudges her writing! The background details (the chalk is a silly one ofc) often provide more fun world building or even plot info!
Fun background detail: The billboard ad sign you noticed to is the wrong way around, as a jab at the advertisement joke from the pilot. The arrow points away from the I.M.P office, making it yet another wasted advertisement budget.
Stolas is a beautiful Goetia Prince with a filthy mouth 🤣 Love how he kept going and going on the phone during the entire ordeal with that devilish family
In helluva bus, you will learn more about hell, and how it’s ruled, including see more of its people who live there besides those who died on earth like the imps, hell hounds, succubus, and other hell creatures. You also be seeing those who rule the rings of hell, the seven deadly sins, and the racking of everyone like who’s on top to very bottom.
Just want to point out 4:51 that pink bow girl was just fine after going through the roof. I know everyone was SUPER concerned for her. Also, at 9:10 there have been several creepy things in the background but I find the fact that they set dinner for the urn in a wheelchair to be the most unsettling besides the mounted head.
The fifth episode has a big-enough ‘Hazbin Hotel’ connection, which should be interesting to see someone take note of on having seen ‘Hazbin Hotel’ first. To say having that one be a single-episode discussion might be best.
Stolas is an Ars Goetia, who are above Overlords but below the Deadly Sins. His Job is to study the stars and constellations of Earth (for whatever reason), and so he was given his grimoire by his father in orders to carry out those tasks.
I strongly advise watching one episode a week. Savor these while you can, because once you're up to date, you'll have to wait long months for more like the rest of us.
Stolas's duty is to examine the stars and everything astrology related, therefore he's given the ability to enter the living world for that purpose. I won't say more as more is revealed later.
So stolas is hell royalty from the lesser key of Solomon, the ARS goetia are edsentially the "dukes" of hell, below the "princes" of hell, like belphegor or satan or beelzebub. All the goetia in helluva boss are bird like demons, but in the actual mythos theyre all different, but stolas was always depicted as an owl like creature. Long and short is hes actually powerful as fuck haha.
honestly we don't know much about roo at all in ethier show yet,the only thing I've heard from other fans is she's supposed to show up in hazbin hotel in a later season,we only know her design from viv and that she's in the show at some point,I do like how roo is sprinkled in just a tiny bit in both shows,so we know she's a looming threat
If you do one a week there may be a new episode by the time you get caught up. When HB is in season they drop an episode somewhere each month, but they've been on the back burner recently for some reason /s (the sarcasm being that the focus has been on Hazbin)
Yeah, the creators put MAJOR effort into background things you would never think are actually there or important. Like photos, texts, and other things.
Oh you're starting Helluva Boss ??? It's so great ! I absolutely adored your Hazbin Hotel reactions, and I already know you're going to adore Helluva Boss ! In some aspects it's even better than Hazbin Hotel, and it'll get reeeaaal deep surprisingly quickly.
Each ring of hell has its own native species and it typically relates to the sin the ring encompasses/ruler of the ring. Hell hounds come from gluttony and eventually you’ll meet that sin. Loansharks seem to come from greed and you won’t meet that’s in for a while. The first sin you’ll meet is lust and incubus/succubus is come from his ring of greed. Imps are the most numerous species and you’ll find lots of them and various hybrid imp forms across all the rings but they were originally found primarily in wrath we haven’t met the ruler of wrath yet. If you like the lore you can always watch or react to Cartoon Universe or Ayy Lmao who do great lore deep dives
Season one is an introduction season to the baseline of the story and characters, more with little hints of their backstory. The second season goes more in depth about the story and the characters, so a lot of your questions will be answered soon, but in general Moxxie's backstory is why he is confident, but timid so he can't talk back to authority figures like blitz, but he wants to take charge and show he's capable. Stolas's Grimoure(don't know how to spell it) is a spell book. In general, the story is known only in the show. However, the higher ring demons are based on real-life demons. Stolas is very much like what the Ars Goetia describes him as. Vivziepop is well versed in demonology, so it's very interesting to watch. You're going to love the next episode. Also the thing about I.M.P. is that they are all lower born creatures of Hell. Loona is a Hell-Hound who is bound to Blitzø because he adopted her. This is still cannon and will be discussed more in season 2 episode 2. Blitzø, Moxxie, and Millie are all Imps of Hell. For the most part the story is pretty caught up on the current characters we know and now we're moving on to the whats going to happen next part whichbis why the whole Hellaverse is on the edge of their seats waiting for the release of Season 2 Episode 8 named Full Moon. This will give us a difinitive answer on what is going to happen between Stolas and Blitzø and I personally need them to be ok. You will love this show.
Stolas be part of the Ars Goetia, its like a big bird demon family with different functions, Stolas have the responsability to study plants, the universe and HUMANS. Thats why he get the "free pass" to the living world. Also, hes very powerfull, being part of the thirty most powered group in hell.
If you want to know the history of everyone and every creature in this version of hell I would recommend this channel called Cartoon Universe he is amazing with explaining the lore of this Helluva and Hazbin Universe
7:53 If you're talking about the loan sharks from hazbin hotel they are sinners, but there is a hellborn species of loan sharks in hell too. Hellhounds are hellborns too.
just a quick bit of lore info for you: hazbin hotel mainly takes place in pentagram city in the pride ring, aka one of the 7 rings of hell, pride belonging to lucifer. sinners, aka humans that died and got sent to hell are mostly confined to pentagram city, though IMPs clients being sinners imply that theyre allowed some roaming outside pentagram city. helluva boss mainly deals with the other rings of hell, as well as hellborn beings, to differentiate the two series. so, completely different scaling of powers and creatures hear. from the various hellborn native to each ring (which all seem to have a certain theme to them too), to hellhounds and imps, none of them were humans, but rather were born in hell like charlie. (which is also the reason why extermination doesnt matter to them, having that exemption lucifer bargained for with heaven, as is mentioned in episode 1 of hazbin hotel)
also regarding your question of how stolas has access to the living world, easiest answer is that he is a more high ranking demonic being that can do that type of magic. why exactly he has access, you will find out later on.
I guess one episode per week is the best, I like the idea ! And also you'll see more and more differences from the pilot as the show goes on, the first episode isn't exactly there yet. It is not "just" a show about killing people on earth, it is really a show about Blitz0, and his relationships with others (professional or not). You'll see the heart of Helluvaboss starting next episode ♥
I think the reason why people said that the Helluva Boss pilot wasn’t canon is probably because unlike the Hazbin Hotel pilot It didn’t provide us with any extra information that we wouldn’t learn in the show itself. For example, Hazbin’s pilot let us know how Alastor, Husk, and Nifty got there; shows us Charlie pitching her idea to hell for the first time; and establishes the initial rivalry between Cherry Bomb and Sir Pentious.
@@pol_eo Yeah I already know Viv said it wasn’t canon, but throughout his reaction he’s trying to figure out what about the pilot isn’t canon, so this was me coming up with an idea as to why Viv made it non canon
Moxxie is a lot like Charlie when it comes to how nice he is, he doesn’t like to do the killing and will usually not just go around and kill people for no reason like with the family.
I'm a new fan to this series myself. Just started watching two weeks ago. I'm very glad you are watching it as well. And I love your videos even when we have different opinions about things. Because I love how you aren't afraid to show emotions in your reactions. (Hamilton was a great one. Hazbin too, right?)
2 IN ONE DAY!?!?!? YOU MADLAD As for the 1 or 2 a week. I would love to see 2 a week from you but if you wanna stretch it. The community has patience when it comes to this show 😅
Oooo here we go ^-^ If you want a bit of background to Stolas and the other royal hell spawns its worth looking into relgious text about them. They are immortal - Imps are hellborn and not imortal, can be killed and no afterlife for them - hellborns can go in between rings, Sinners cant leave the ring of Pride -Luna(hellhound) is lower in status than Imps
I don't know if you know the hierarchy in hell yet, but just letting you know that Stolas is a Goetia Prince, which means he is stronger than all of the Overlords in Hazbin Hotel.
The hierarchy is like this: Lucifer > Lilith & Charlie > 7 Deadly Sins > Ars Goetia > Overlords > Sinners > Hellborns > Low-Class Hellborns (Imps and Hellhounds)
Also a fun fact, the deadly sin of Lust is also a member of the ars goetia and is a cousin of stolas
Exacly!!!, also there are 7 rings in Hell, the first and biggest being the Pride Ring, home to Lucifer and the setting of Hazbin Hotel!!!
The other rings in order being:
Wrath Ring, home to Satan
Gluttony Ring, home to Beelzebub
Greed Ring, home to Mammon
Lust Ring, home to Asmodeus
Envy Ring, home to Leviathan
and
Sloth Ring, home to Belphegor
Oh shit, is he? I didn't know that. @@AimeeFrizzyAnime
@@MeatSim9Yeah, thats why he has the similar eye appearance and is rooster themed. Idk if they’re literally cousins, but he is Goetia.

Fun fact about Imps: when they get wounded, they grow a white spot on said wound as a scar.
Correct! Almost every white spot in an Imp's body is a scar
The question is the scars natural or caused by someone or something?
@@amiileeee Most are wounds (caused by hellfire, knives, guns, etc) but there are others that are just birth marks, like Moxie's freckles

I think originally he was supposed to be a villain of the story, but that changed somewhere before episode 1.
Exactly, him being all ruthless wanting humans to die on Earth from climate change because he’s “bored” is a bit uncharacteristically brutal lol
@@chelliespiderYeah I’ve heard that too. Then they decided Blitzø and he would be a good couple and have relationship drama, so they went that route
@@chelliespider Don't think he was ever supposed to be a villain but more so he was going to be more of a gag side character mostly just there for the sex jokes rather than pretty much the Duteragonist of the show he is now.

I love how this episode plays with your brain visually to prove it's point about not knowing who someone is in private, or behind the scenes if you will. If you ever rewatch it pay close attention to the furniture and background of the scenes when Blits is aiming through the window especially around where Moxy makes him miss his shot and BEFORE the family is confirmed to be cannibals, the context and lighting of the scene literally trick your brain into thinking everything is normal, and much like the family, that is NOT the case.
Fun fact! The voice actress who did the teacher is the child actress who did Matilda!!
This is a very important episode for the general lore. Because we saw cultists of the root of evil here and maybe some elements will later intertwine with them. The Root of Evil may be the main villain in Hazbin Hotel
since there's no watch-alongs on patreon you could pause the episodes when you have longer things to say, also there's a lot of fun details that you can catch if you pause to read or look. very excited for the reactions:)
In this show, as much as I would love to have it all fast, Helluva is super episodic so one per week feels right
I'm here to add another voice to the veritable chorus saying imps are all Hellborn, not Sinners. Stolas is also Hellborn, as are all Hellhounds, Succubi, Incubi and other major categories. It can be hard to tell visually between Sinners and Hellborn at times, but an easy way to tell is that if you see a type of demon outside the Ring of Pride, they are definitely Hellborn as Sinners can't leave Pride.
Wait I don't remember why sinners can't leave pride?
7:48
Well, each ring of hell appears to have at least one representative native species, colloquially known as the Hellborn class of demons. As far as we can tell, the Loan Sharks appear to be natives of the Greed ring. Hellhounds appear to be native to the Ring of Gluttony, as they are very similar in appearance to its ruler, Queen Beelzebub. Succubi/incubi are Lust natives (obviously 😅).
Imps on the other hand can be found on any ring, and their Ring of Birth often alters the appearance of the imp itself. For example, the larger crescent horns and pointier head on Blitzø are indicative of a Pride Ring native, while straight pointy ones like Millie’s are common in Wrath.
I prefer 2 episodes a week. The thing with Helluva Boss is that there isn't a specific planed date that new episodes come out, if we're lucky we get 2 episodes a year but 1 is more common since HB doesn't have an official studio/network working on it like Hazbin the episodes are all written, produced, voiced and animated basically from home, whenever people can and therefore not on a specific deadline so the EPs just come out when there done so planning reactions to new episodes are basically impossible and there will always be a wait once you're caught up so I say do 2 EPs a week, really enjoy yourself until you are done with the current EPs and have to wait like the rest of us 😉
Do 2 a week please this show only gets better each episode and we need you to see it!
the sheer speed I clicked on this link
These reactions are gonna be amazing I’m so excited. Helluva boss despite its flaws is a great show with a lot of great episodes and I know you’re gonna love it
Fun fact about the Hell of thr Hellaverse, demons whi were born in hell like Moxxie, Blitz, Loona and Stolas can traverse and inhabit all the rings of hell. While sinners are only allowed to reside in the top most ring, Pride, that is where Hazbin is set. We don't know how or why thst is thr case tho, maybe it was a deal that Lucifer had to make with Adam since we know that Lucifer in thr first episode of Hazbin is stated by Lute to have spared Hellborns from the tip of an exterminator's blade
Edit: also fun fact, Angel's family was a mob family, that was confirmed by Vivziepop, thry were mobsters and both his father and brother are in hell, his mother and sister are in heaven
Also thr root of all evil is a fan name for a character thst viv showed in a Livestream called Roo, she was said to be important to Hazbin in the future. We don't know if thr name is true but she could be thr root of all evil
It could also be because the angels wanted Lucifer to see all of the bad and evil of humanity as punishment so they probably made it so sinners are sent to Lucifers ring and nothing else.
Oh, I cannot WAIT for you to see Stolas in his true form. You will start to like him quite a bit.
I can imagine Moxxie's phone call going like "Hello. I need the police. My wife, boss, and I were all kidnapped by a cannibal family. Please hurry."
Also, Satan and Lucifer are two different characters in this series.
There are 4 new Helluva Boss season 2 episodes planned for release this year as well for your planning purposes.
11:38 He's an incredibly powerful Prince of Hell and can do as he pleases
I'd say go for 2 a week. S2 ep. 8 of Helluva should be coming out within the next couple months
Just as a reminder the Pilot was confirmed not to be cannon anymore by a couple episodes into season 2
I still can't get over how cute the tail animations are in helluva boss
the comedy in this show is golden but i’m so excited for you to watch the heartfelt moments in this show 🥺
One thing I really like about Helluva Boss is that it shows much more of the world and how it works
Ikr? Hazbin is really great, but it’s limited to only showing the Pride ring and sinners. Helluva is able to explore different species of hellborn demons, the different rings, the Sins, and Earth.
FYI alastor is one step under sassy owl Stolas if we say in power and hierarchy. he is Ars Goetia so his position and power is no question for able to open moral world.
Happy you're doing Helluva Boss right after Hazbin. It's gonna be a good ride🎉🎉
In Helluva Boss the only sinners(people who died) are I.M.P's clients.(almost)
We'll see a lot of demons and most of the rings of hell, but sinners can't leave the Pride ring, where I.M.P. office is located.
In this series 99% of characters are hellspawn and while imps and hellhounds live and die almost like humans, demon Overlords existed since the beginning.
(But Stolas is not that ancient, he's a demon prince/son of one of the overlords. Whichis very privileged position, but he is very much not unique in that.)
ok... that mob family statement made me do a spit take laugh
Ive been so exited to see you react to heluva boss, your hazbin hotel reactions were great!
Blitzo with a silent o 👍
I would LOVE to watch two a week... your reactions are so much fun to watch! Some of the best on youtube I promise.
i am so excited for this. you have by far the most thoughtful commentary on the hellaverse projects i’ve seen from reaction channels so far, you catch so many little details and make connections that you’d expect from a long time fan! i hope you enjoy helluva just as much as you did hazbin :)
Another person gave a brief powerscaling scaling summary, so i will give you some basic functions of each teir. All hellborn are able to traverse to other layers of hell such as the greed or lust ring, but sinners are forever trapped in the pride ring even though, on average, they have more physical power. Additionally, the higher teirs have access to the mortal realm through innate magic within them. it is known that lucifer is trapped in hell, but idk if the other sins can leave themselves or if they are trapped too.
Also, each layer of hell has a natural hellborn. We dont know the names of all of them. The ones we do have are imps- wrath, hellhounds- gluttony, loan sharks- greed, succubus- lust, candleheads- sloth. We dont know what the name of the fish people from envy are called and we dont know if the goetia are the hellborn of pride or moved there for business.
EVERY DAY.
The cast of Helluva Boss are not Sinners. They are Imps and a Hellhound. Hellborn demons like Charlie, but unlike Charlie they were not born with blue blood at the top of the ladder. Which is what makes this show interesting. Hazbin shows us what life in Hell is like for those that are sent there, this one focuses of the demons that are born and grow up in Hell. As Sinners can't leave the Pride Ring we also get more chances to explore this version of Hell from the perspective of the lowest demons. How life treats them, how they make ends meat, and more about the hierarchy of Hell.
I just found they started recording for season 2 of hazbin hotel
Youve got no idea how good this is gonna get the more you watch
I vote for doing two eps a week! Maybe more!
11:43
Tbh, there are a few ways to do that, especially if the one doing so is a higher ranking demon. Succubi for instance have gems granted by Asmodeus (ruler of Lust) that allow them to legally travel to earth to seek fun times with unsuspecting humans. Stolas’s book is far more thorough, as he needs it to study the stars of the living world.
The voice of Moxxie being the voice of Invader Zim & Billy&Mandy in particular is really cool, the creator Vivzie was highly inspired by them and this show's designs take a LOT from those character styles ^^ Blitzø in particular reminds me of Nergal from B&M and The Tallest from IZ ^^
I hope you do 2 a week!! They flow a lot better as the season goes since the plot is slow to develop, details are easier to forget since they're drip-fed really well. An example of just HOW detail oriented this show is: Mrs. Mayberry's hand on the chalkboard actually smudges her writing! The background details (the chalk is a silly one ofc) often provide more fun world building or even plot info!
Fun background detail: The billboard ad sign you noticed to is the wrong way around, as a jab at the advertisement joke from the pilot. The arrow points away from the I.M.P office, making it yet another wasted advertisement budget.
Stolas is a beautiful Goetia Prince with a filthy mouth 🤣 Love how he kept going and going on the phone during the entire ordeal with that devilish family
I know him from my childhood as well, from Skylanders he voices Kaos! He's also the voice line director for Hazbin Hotel
In helluva bus, you will learn more about hell, and how it’s ruled, including see more of its people who live there besides those who died on earth like the imps, hell hounds, succubus, and other hell creatures. You also be seeing those who rule the rings of hell, the seven deadly sins, and the racking of everyone like who’s on top to very bottom.
Just want to point out 4:51 that pink bow girl was just fine after going through the roof. I know everyone was SUPER concerned for her.
Also, at 9:10 there have been several creepy things in the background but I find the fact that they set dinner for the urn in a wheelchair to be the most unsettling besides the mounted head.
The fifth episode has a big-enough ‘Hazbin Hotel’ connection, which should be interesting to see someone take note of on having seen ‘Hazbin Hotel’ first. To say having that one be a single-episode discussion might be best.
Stolas is an Ars Goetia, who are above Overlords but below the Deadly Sins. His Job is to study the stars and constellations of Earth (for whatever reason), and so he was given his grimoire by his father in orders to carry out those tasks.
I strongly advise watching one episode a week. Savor these while you can, because once you're up to date, you'll have to wait long months for more like the rest of us.
I would say do 2 a week simply because Viv herself said that Helluva Boss lends itself to being Binge watched, so fuck it! Up that dosage!
Stolas's duty is to examine the stars and everything astrology related, therefore he's given the ability to enter the living world for that purpose. I won't say more as more is revealed later.
So stolas is hell royalty from the lesser key of Solomon, the ARS goetia are edsentially the "dukes" of hell, below the "princes" of hell, like belphegor or satan or beelzebub. All the goetia in helluva boss are bird like demons, but in the actual mythos theyre all different, but stolas was always depicted as an owl like creature.
Long and short is hes actually powerful as fuck haha.
honestly we don't know much about roo at all in ethier show yet,the only thing I've heard from other fans is she's supposed to show up in hazbin hotel in a later season,we only know her design from viv and that she's in the show at some point,I do like how roo is sprinkled in just a tiny bit in both shows,so we know she's a looming threat
If you do one a week there may be a new episode by the time you get caught up. When HB is in season they drop an episode somewhere each month, but they've been on the back burner recently for some reason /s (the sarcasm being that the focus has been on Hazbin)
1 episode per week, but you should pause / rewind to check things out a bit more... take your time, take it all in
Yeah, the creators put MAJOR effort into background things you would never think are actually there or important. Like photos, texts, and other things.
Oh you're starting Helluva Boss ??? It's so great ! I absolutely adored your Hazbin Hotel reactions, and I already know you're going to adore Helluva Boss !
In some aspects it's even better than Hazbin Hotel, and it'll get reeeaaal deep surprisingly quickly.
Each ring of hell has its own native species and it typically relates to the sin the ring encompasses/ruler of the ring. Hell hounds come from gluttony and eventually you’ll meet that sin. Loansharks seem to come from greed and you won’t meet that’s in for a while. The first sin you’ll meet is lust and incubus/succubus is come from his ring of greed. Imps are the most numerous species and you’ll find lots of them and various hybrid imp forms across all the rings but they were originally found primarily in wrath we haven’t met the ruler of wrath yet. If you like the lore you can always watch or react to Cartoon Universe or Ayy Lmao who do great lore deep dives
I’m so happy you’re covering this series as well! Can’t wait to see what you think
Richard is the voice director for Helluva and I think Hazbin as well :D He and Viv work very closely together.
Season one is an introduction season to the baseline of the story and characters, more with little hints of their backstory. The second season goes more in depth about the story and the characters, so a lot of your questions will be answered soon, but in general Moxxie's backstory is why he is confident, but timid so he can't talk back to authority figures like blitz, but he wants to take charge and show he's capable. Stolas's Grimoure(don't know how to spell it) is a spell book.
In general, the story is known only in the show. However, the higher ring demons are based on real-life demons. Stolas is very much like what the Ars Goetia describes him as. Vivziepop is well versed in demonology, so it's very interesting to watch. You're going to love the next episode.
Also the thing about I.M.P. is that they are all lower born creatures of Hell. Loona is a Hell-Hound who is bound to Blitzø because he adopted her. This is still cannon and will be discussed more in season 2 episode 2. Blitzø, Moxxie, and Millie are all Imps of Hell. For the most part the story is pretty caught up on the current characters we know and now we're moving on to the whats going to happen next part whichbis why the whole Hellaverse is on the edge of their seats waiting for the release of Season 2 Episode 8 named Full Moon. This will give us a difinitive answer on what is going to happen between Stolas and Blitzø and I personally need them to be ok. You will love this show.
Imps (and Hellhounds) are like Charlie, "Hellborn" beings. They never died
You are embarking on a wild ride my friend can't wait to watch
0:36 I was surprised by that to when I first heard it!
a good bit of advice is, when someone has a moment with Blitz, pay attention, his character is much deeper than he seems.
Awesome reaction. Your gonna go crazy over episode 2 and 6. 😂
Stolas be part of the Ars Goetia, its like a big bird demon family with
different functions, Stolas have the responsability to study plants, the universe and HUMANS. Thats why he get the "free pass" to the living world.
Also, hes very powerfull, being part of the thirty most powered group in hell.
You’ll learn way more about the cast this season. Definitely an essential part of the Hellaverse
i would like to see more episodes cause lord knows there are so many things to watch in the meantime
Helluva Friday sound like fun. I don't wanna run out too quick
Did anyone notice when they had cake there were 2 slices but one taken out?
If you want to know the history of everyone and every creature in this version of hell I would recommend this channel called Cartoon Universe he is amazing with explaining the lore of this Helluva and Hazbin Universe
7:53 If you're talking about the loan sharks from hazbin hotel they are sinners, but there is a hellborn species of loan sharks in hell too. Hellhounds are hellborns too.
just a quick bit of lore info for you:
hazbin hotel mainly takes place in pentagram city in the pride ring, aka one of the 7 rings of hell, pride belonging to lucifer. sinners, aka humans that died and got sent to hell are mostly confined to pentagram city, though IMPs clients being sinners imply that theyre allowed some roaming outside pentagram city.
helluva boss mainly deals with the other rings of hell, as well as hellborn beings, to differentiate the two series. so, completely different scaling of powers and creatures hear. from the various hellborn native to each ring (which all seem to have a certain theme to them too), to hellhounds and imps, none of them were humans, but rather were born in hell like charlie. (which is also the reason why extermination doesnt matter to them, having that exemption lucifer bargained for with heaven, as is mentioned in episode 1 of hazbin hotel)
also regarding your question of how stolas has access to the living world, easiest answer is that he is a more high ranking demonic being that can do that type of magic. why exactly he has access, you will find out later on.
I also have to start it. Friends love it! Great video!
I guess one episode per week is the best, I like the idea ! And also you'll see more and more differences from the pilot as the show goes on, the first episode isn't exactly there yet. It is not "just" a show about killing people on earth, it is really a show about Blitz0, and his relationships with others (professional or not). You'll see the heart of Helluvaboss starting next episode ♥
I think the reason why people said that the Helluva Boss pilot wasn’t canon is probably because unlike the Hazbin Hotel pilot It didn’t provide us with any extra information that we wouldn’t learn in the show itself.
For example, Hazbin’s pilot let us know how Alastor, Husk, and Nifty got there; shows us Charlie pitching her idea to hell for the first time; and establishes the initial rivalry between Cherry Bomb and Sir Pentious.
Viv herself said the pilot isn't really canon no more, she deleted pilot from official HB playlist
@@pol_eo Yeah I already know Viv said it wasn’t canon, but throughout his reaction he’s trying to figure out what about the pilot isn’t canon, so this was me coming up with an idea as to why Viv made it non canon
Here are some you can put on your list. Castlevania and blood of Zeus both on Netflix. They both got a invisible writing style
Moxxie is a lot like Charlie when it comes to how nice he is, he doesn’t like to do the killing and will usually not just go around and kill people for no reason like with the family.
I'm a new fan to this series myself. Just started watching two weeks ago. I'm very glad you are watching it as well. And I love your videos even when we have different opinions about things. Because I love how you aren't afraid to show emotions in your reactions. (Hamilton was a great one. Hazbin too, right?)
I think you should do one reaction a week.Slow dropping would be better then binging it in a few weeks
11:39 Its part of his job as Ars Goetia prince
Thank you so much for uploading another episode so quickly!
Pay attention to the various horse references. 14:09
You'll notice a pattern.
It would be cool to see that family in cannibal town in hazbin hotel as a easter egg
Blitzo appeared in Hazbin Hotel Pilot episode. You wouldn't really recognize him until you watched Helluva Boss though. 😂
2 IN ONE DAY!?!?!? YOU MADLAD
As for the 1 or 2 a week. I would love to see 2 a week from you but if you wanna stretch it. The community has patience when it comes to this show 😅
While the grimoire is one way to traverse the realms, there are other ways as well (i.e. Asmodeus crystals, etc.).
Oooo here we go ^-^
If you want a bit of background to Stolas and the other royal hell spawns its worth looking into relgious text about them. They are immortal
- Imps are hellborn and not imortal, can be killed and no afterlife for them
- hellborns can go in between rings, Sinners cant leave the ring of Pride
-Luna(hellhound) is lower in status than Imps
