      For the day.
      And Blitz's current issues stem from fear of loss, fear of being cast off.
      He thinks he's being used, and he's content with that just enough that he wants to stay in that relationship and test how far Stolas will chase him. It's why Full Moon's gonna be the tipping point when Stolas wants to give Blitz freedom in the relationship, but Blitz will take this as getting thrown out yet again, by a royal yet again.

      But I don't think Stolas KNOWS it began as a transaction. From his little point of view (as far as we know!) his father introduces Blitzo to him, they have a loverly day, then he (presumably) vanishes. We don't even know if he ever worked out he was robbed. Later on its absolutly more transactional, and that completely on Stolas, I agree, but I think one of the things that may really break him later on is if/when he learns that the foundation of that relationship was just another transaction.

    What i really appreciate about Helluva boss is they explore some of the cascading effects of development. BlitzĂž was raised by an abusive father who looked at him as a money making machine, not really caring about his interest or emotions. He grows up to see relationship as transactional, desperate for connection but only on his terms.
    Also, love the analysis here. We absolutley need to find better ways to raise children without invalidating their feelings or squashing their oppositional traits.

      I'd like to see an analysis on how that translates to Blitz's relationship with Loona. He adopted her, and is trying (maybe too hard) to be the "best friend" dad. It's still kind of transactional, as he throws it in her face a few times how he adopted her so she should do as he says. But he truly seems to love her and want the best for her.

      "It's a... transactional f***ing, you see." I never really thought much of that line from "Harvest Moon Festival", but thinking back on it, the way he says that is with a bit of panic. Like, maybe for a moment he almost considered what he and Stolas had might be real, but then quickly "corrected" himself on it to affirm (maybe even to himself) that it's just transactional.

    'Life not going as planned' is more or less the tagline of BlitzĂž's life, and it's clear from his demeanor and the devil-may-care facade he relies on how _exhausting_ those endless setbacks have been. He's got resilience in _spades,_ no question, but it's not always coming from a good place -- a lot of his drive to excel and succeed in some form seems to stem from a sense of inferiority and self-loathing, as if he's still trying to prove that he's good enough for the people in his life... and because that sense of self-worth is so corrupted by his old traumas and scars, he struggles to trust people who tell him that he _is_ good enough for them. (He and Fizz feel like two different expressions of impostor syndrome, honestly.)

    he only ever mentions his mom, because he doesn't really feel that connection with his dad. And of course he wouldn't, his dad is using him for a money-making scheme! But it's such a subtle detail that I rarely see people bring up, and I love the attention there

      Not to mention he seems to have had another royal lover that tossed him out, so he keeps getting used, and eventually ruining relationships, like Verosika, by running away before he can get hurt. With Stolas, Blitz DOES love him, he's just afraid that without the Grimoire, he'll be thrown out yet again. This is going to come to a head in Full Moon, but in the end Blitz seems to save Stolas from Andrialphas, or worse. So maybe he'll start healing, and with "Apology Tour" following that seems to be a likely direction.

    "Blitzo has a lot of defiance in him" that's one of my favorite things about his character. Specifically, he isn't afraid to stand up to the more powerful people in hell. He's not afraid to challenge Bee to the drinking contest, he's not afraid to tell Mammon straight to his face what a hack he is, if he was face to face with Alastor, he wouldn't be scared at all. This probably often to his detriment but I really enjoy that about his character

  • @devilhunter88

    I get the impression that Blitzo telling Stolas that he'll hire him later on might be foreshadowing for later. Like Stolas abandoning his role in the Goeisha and choosing to be with Blitzo instead. Working and BEING together in the end. Both getting the love and fulfillment from each other as opposed to when they were apart. Would be a lovely ending to their story in my opinion ❀

    It's all too easy to paint Blitz as the villain...and that's exactly what part of him wants you think he is. Because he _hates_ himself *that* much. It's why all his pictures and photos of friends and family have him scratched out...he KNOWS he's the problem...but he hates himself too much to fix himself. And when you see what happened in his life...is it any wonder why? He needs to work on himself before ever getting into a proper relationship. Until he does they'll all end up in smoke.

    There are a couple things that I noticed about Blitz, and the relationship between him and Stolas (and Striker, later on): Blitz is more or less functionally illiterate. Stolas really, *really* doesn't grasp this, and texts him huge flowery multisyllabic epistles without even realizing how difficult these would be to Blitz to decipher (he responds as best he can, "Get Bevver Swoon"), unconsciously confirming Striker's accusation that the Goetia "always talk over us." The second thing (which still blows my mind) is that there are literally ZERO consequences for the children's...theft spree, I guess? The Goetia parents are genuinely so wealthy as to be completely oblivious!!
    Third thing: "He can get hurt?" regularly shatters my heart.

    My favourite thing about these is how you focus on aspects of these characters that most people aren't focusing on! BlitzĂž has a dumpster truck full of baggage, and his relationship with his dad very obviously left him with a messed up idea of class and relationships and money, but even though his resilience is on display from early on yet that's never the part of BlitzĂž that people are talking about. So good, like always!

    as a circus artist, i think blitzĂž learned how to adapt so well by simply being a clown. in circus there's so much that can go wrong, a trick that doesn't work, a joke that doesn't land with the audience, forgetting what you're supposed to do next... and you always have to work around it and sometimes you learn to even incorporate it into your show. so blitzĂž learned how to adapt by committing mistakes as a clown.

    That little scene of Fizz and Blitzo playing together with their balloon horsies is hands-down my favorite part of the episode. Not just because it’s absolutely adorable, but because it really shows us clear as day that - puberty, trauma, and increased swear vocabulary aside - Blitzo truly has not changed 😆
    I love him, tho, he and Fizz are my favorite characters. Also this whole video I kept listening to what you were saying and thinking to myself “yeah, that explains a lot” lol

    “If you keep talking about pirates, I *will* punch you.”
    I gotta say, I just *love* that little interaction they have because it’s just kids being kids and it’s so adorable to see (the voice actors really help)
    It also provides a sharp contrast to how they turn out, they’re no longer best friends or as innocent as they were before, showing how people can change and be quite different from how they were as a child, and how you can never truly know how a kid might turn out as an adult (same for Stolas, especially the cut from him as a happy child to a sad adult)
    Edit: Also I never picked up on how Blitz is able to adapt and improvise like that, with how he messed up with the horse but was able to quickly come up with a story as to why it’s like that, to him using playing pirate as a means to get away with stealing (very clever of him!)

    While we still don't have full confirmation, I like to think Blitzo's family name is Cash, maybe some imps use the Eastern name order like Hungarians, Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese in the living world do.
    Thus Blitzo's family would consist of the following:
    *Cash Blitzo
    *Cash Loona (adopted daughter)
    *Cash Buckzo (father, estranged)
    *Cash Tilla (mother, deceased)
    *Cash Barbie (sister, estranged)
    It would explain why the clueless receptionist at the hospital in Sloth thought Blitzo's surname was "O", referring to him as "Mr O".

      @AnInsideJoke Pƙed 20 dny +1

      The receptionist also straight up admitted that she was either mostly illiterate or has very severe dyslexia: "Oh, I can't spell."
      Cash is actually Blitzo's dad's personal name, and Vivziepop confirmed that Blitzo's surname USED to be Buckzo, but hinted that he may have dropped it around the same time he dropped the pronunciation of the "o" in his personal name (couldn't blame him if he did, having an alliterative name like "Blitzo Buckzo" would have already been bad enough as a non-circus business owner, but pile his issue with this dad on TOP of that....).

    Stolas was sort of raised in a manner that was used for noble children around the time of the Tudors. In that the child is raised in a private residence by a collection of servents and tutors, but had very few interactions with there parents or children their own age until they were old enough to join their parents in court. This of course was done for their safety as children from nobel households could be used for ransom or even killed off for money.
    When Blitzo was hired by Paimon, I did get a 'Whipping boy' vibe. The concept of the whipping boy is that it was a male child bought from an impoverished family. This boy is then raised in a noble household as a a sort of friend to the nobel born children. The only difference it that if the noble born child did something that was classified as acting out, then the whipping boy was punished in the noble childs sted.

He doesn't care about helping his dad, and based on his expression and tone of voice, it doesn't seem like him excluding his dad in that statement was even on purpose. Maybe I'm reading into it too much, but I see that as his subconscious letting it slip that he loves his mom but really doesn't give a crap about helping his dad. And for good reason!

    Maybe my favorite episode of yours yet! It has helped me appreciate the most positive aspects of Blitz’s character. Thank you for doing justice to and illuminating the awesomeness of the Hellaverse characters!!
