If you're curious as to why Loona doesn't say much here...her voice actress had to leave briefly because her husband passed away. Such a loss needed some time for her to emotionally recover

Blitzø's "He can get hurt?" line really hit me right in the feels. His facial expression and tone of voice just shows that he really does care about Stolas. And the scene right after? I've never gotten so emotional from a text chain before.

I love how stolas defends his daughter. It cements the fact that She is truly precious to him. Good dad vibes.

"Which Vtuber do you like?" "The one that's... adorable?" "Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?"

I can't remember if it's cannon or speculated that Blitzø is actually pretty illiterate. If you notice that his text isn't really uwu but extremely misspelled in a non patterned way, Moxie said his flyer was poorly spelled in "Spring Broken" and his billboard in the first episode is written in talk to text. Idk if that's important but I think it's interesting to consider.

If you notice, Alicia, there's actually context throughout the show to suggest why Blitzø texts or writes the way he does. In episode 1 of season 1, there's an advertising billboard in the background about the company and it specifically says "Speech-to-Text" and has a lot of spelling errors. The whiteboard in the office also has different things written on it whenever it's shown in an episode that also has spelling errors. In S1 Ep3, Moxxie points out that Blitzø's Spring Break Discount flier has bad grammar and is poorly spelled. Then we see in S2 Ep1 that Blitzø grew up working in his dad's circus from a very young age and it's safe to say they were scraping by. I think at this point it would be fair to assume that Blitzø didn't have a proper education and is considered illiterate to some degree. That would explain why he uses Speech to Text or just answers in simple one word responses because that's really all he can manage.

A little note about the texts, the way each of them talks shows just how different their upbringings were due to their literacy skills. Blitzo outright doesn't know how to spell the words he's using, so he's going by phonetics.

I'd like to note, this episode shows how much Moxie has been honing his close combat skills and it pays off. Destroyinng the bikers and saving himself against Striker. That last bir also shows how much he has learned from Blitz

2:34 for me, it’s the fact that not only is this how Stolas identifies Striker, but that Moxxie RECOGNIZES Striker by that description 💀

Oh girl, shit gets HEAVY from this point out, as I warned: BUCKLE UP

I love how this episode illustrates how ridiculously good Stryker is even compared to Millie and Moxxie fighting together. Makes him feel like a genuine serious threat. Aaand Blitz also learns that Stolas isn't "a god" who doesn't need to take anything seriously, but an actual person with feelings and body who can get hurt.

Love how stolas was just low-key vibing to the mariachi band

27:20 yeah and then the wilted rose petals is the allusion of “he loves me, he loves me not”, each one falling away as Stolas waits for Blitzø to respond to his text, a message that never comes. Also the slowed down version of Stolas’ theme playing at the end, is the same version that played at the tail-end of the flashback of Blitzø and Stolas playing together as children under the tree. It’s like Stolas replaying those better times in his head, as he’s lying in the hospital bed.

I think deep down Blitzø does care about Stolas, but he’s so emotionally scarred from his past that he’s afraid of any kind of serious connection to anyone else and built up a wall of excuses (I.e. he’s not good enough to be loved, Stolas can’t be hurt, Stolas only views him as a sexual fling, etc.). On top of that Stolas has only recently started trying to get more serious with Blitzø and has done a rather poor job at communicating that up to this point. Once they start the Season resumes though, I suspect we’ll see at least some evolution of their relationship.

"How many cowboys does he know?" Blitz probably has a Ram Ranch membership card.

small lore thing that isn't really addressed anywhere in show but "sinners" (former humans) can only be in the pride ring.

I like how all season they are slowly hinting at Blitzo's trauma. just a line of dialougue here and there. rewatching picks up so much. Its very well written, and performed

You can see the shocking realization that Blitzo has once he realises that Stolas can get hurt. Blitzo's put Stolas on a pedestal so much, that he has perceived Stolas to be unreachable and untouchable.

Even more heartbreaking, when the rose petals fell you could play the he loves me, he loves me not game along with the petals falling. It also coincides with how stolas would think maybe he does love me and the it ends with Blitzø not answering and the petals end with he loves me not.

"Which V-tuber do you like?" "The one that's... adorable." "HONEY GOBLIN!"

Also gotta remember Stolas is like...1 step under the Seven Deadly Sins in the demonic hierarchy. Literally even the concept of a non sexual wound is probably completely foreign to him. I mean even Blitz couldnt even imagine Stolas getting hurt

The tragedy of Blitzø is that he is truly a loving, compassionate, deeply caring person, but he’s self image has been beaten down and tarnished by so many awful things happening to him. The reason he pushes people away, why I doesn’t let them get close, is because he loves them, and hates himself so much he thinks that being around the real him and letting them love him would be worse for them than the pain caused by his distancing and lack of love

Thank you, watching someone have the same storm of emotions over an amazing show you like is weirdly super comforting

Most of the community hates this episode because they "changed" striker's personality... But I see it as, he was always putting up a front during his introduction and this is simply his more real side! This community is weird as shit! There hasn't been a bad episode yet, but then again I enjoyed every Rick and Morty episode from season 1-6 so like maybe I'm just easy to please with story lol

As goofy as the Loona-shot scenes are in comparison to the rest of the episode, on rewatch I really notice how the hospital staff treats Loona like a pet dog. They only talk to Blitzo as her "owner", and while they don't act deliberately mean, they could not care less about her or her fear.

One of my favourite parts is when blitz asked what the cowboy kidnapping stolas looked like and when he said “sexy” Moxxie knew it was striker and when blitz asked which cowboy friend was taking stolas and Moxxie said “how many cowboys do you know” to blitz

Alecia's emotional intelligence is a cut above really makes her stand out.

This episode is gonna mess with her. So are the next few lmao

4:13 Stolas: *chuckles* I'm in danger

Unironically you're one of the few vtubers i would describe that way; lotta other people are just annoying, but you got that militant edge that keeps it all real

As you get to the next episodes, you will begin to see why Blitzø is the way he is, and understand why he acts in this manner, the show really went from haha murder mayhem to a really good story; after the next episode you should watch the music video “Look my way.” It will make a lot of sense after that episode

"The one that's... adorable?" "Ah, Ironmouse." :P

the main thing about blitzo and stolas' relationship is because stolas is SO high up socially comapred to blitzo, blitzo taes that as an excuse to not think anything going on with him and stolas is serious. but mroe than that he sees Stolas as not being the same as him inherently because of that and so sees him as more powerful. Which is partially true yes. but my point is this assumption is why "he can be HURT?" hits blitzo likes a truck. He thought Stolas was LITERALLY invincible. And now eh finds out that, no, somethig CAN hurt him. Enough to hospitalise him. Now blitzo is starting to see a small hint that stolas ISN'T that different from him. If this changes things between them, time will tell.

I believe blitz does love stolas but is being distant because he’s afraid of hurting him

0:13 predictions:alicia is gonna go full mommy mode on scared loona 6:31 i knew it!!!!

I can't believe people call this poorly written, like oh my god the way they go from flawless comedy to ripping your heart out with realistic struggles and relationships is amazing.

Fun Fact: Strikers horse is Bombproof...no like literally that's his stallion's name

When striker learned how much Stollas cares about Octavia made me worried for her safety.

Damn that hurts.... and you know Blitzo really does care for Stolas... but he's just so messed up and has so much of his own baggage he can't really process relationships well... just damn I hope they work this out....

The end of this episode hits just the realization on blitzes face is just pure emotion

Yeah, Alicia, Blitz willingly won't want to see him in the hospital. And it's not just the message, it's deeper than that, also, Stolas is at fault for leaving Blitz to dry at Oz's when he was roasting the two of them.

You've got to give Striker mad points for paying attention to Red Death's lesson on what real villainy is.

As someone who had to wait two fucking weeks to get an appointment for their dog after they eye got infected, I can relate to this episode so much

12:56 And thus, we see the exact moment the HB fanbase went from loving Striker, to absolutely hating him.

The fact is that Blitz was so nonchalant about the kidnapping because he was so sure that nothing could actually harm Stolas. He thought all this was just another 'bodyguarding job' with Stolas as per Loo Loo Land... Stolas faking being helpless to have Blitz come around. Stolas' less than urgent tone in the call really didn't help this misunderstanding... although at the time Stolas may not have totally understood the danger he was in himself. Realizing Stolas ACTUALLY HAD BEEN IN DANGER this time made him upset at himself for treating Stolas' call for help so dismissively. He almost lost someone he cared about (whether he admits it or not) AGAIN and that made him shut down big time... made him so upset at himself he would rather set himself on hellfire than see Stolas in that hospital bed... ...because in his mind, that's HIS FAULT. Someone he cared about got hurt, because of him, AGAIN.

If you remember the end of season 1, episode 6, Blitz did say he and Stolas use bear traps, so a knife is nothing, lol.

23:20 I love how real and casual these texts are. Stolas is really trying to built a proper relationship with Blitzø.

Really enjoying the reactions to this series. Can't wait for you to get to the songs/music videos! :D (Especially if you like Stolas)

A theory I have is a part of his brief texting is he has problems typing. It's probably not online anymore but most of the characters used to have instagrams (Blitz actually posted the selfie with the head from Truth seekers) I mean.. Look how he said Get better soon. Though most of it is him trying to not be so attached for when he loses Stolas.

That shot hurts ooohhh just wait till you get to the other episode and the song just look my way, you'll need alot of tissues 😢

Something to keep in mind with Andrealphus is that he and Stolas have the same occupation among the Ars Goetia to study the stars. But Stolas is a Prince, while Andrealphus is a Marquis, one rank below him. Andrealphus wants Stolas's possessions and duties because he's jealous of his authority.

"...he can get *hurt* ?" God DAMN it Brandon

When you’re done with this I hope you’ll check out Monkey Wrench, another great indie series that needs a signal boost. Only 3 episodes so far.

I was just sitting here like “she hasn’t uploaded hell- OH NEW VIDEO!” 😂

Did you notice Loona stopped shaking when Blitz hugged her

Huh 9:40 notice how blitz is upset with how he hurt the kid before the mother bucks back in and he enjoys her anger. Didnt catch that when i watched it before.

Awww man....I always felt so bad for Stolas and how he feels for Blizø; and wish I could just let him know to steady on, let him know that Blitzø cares too in his own way. But after hearing you read his texts I feel soooo much worse 😢

its funny, despite how much I love Stolas, i very much enjoy seeing Stella!

Something interesting I noticed. Striker has the same keychain as Blitz, a horseshoe, just a different color. What that implies? probably nothing. Maybe it is just for people who like horses.

16:54 pretty much half the fandom believes that andrealphus is stella’s side piece based on how he was talking to her

So fun fact: each of the rings of Hell is the "homeworld" of a different hellborn demon race. Envy: Aquatic demons, Sloth: Baphies *the goats with the candle on the head*, Lust: Succubi/Incubi, Wrath: Imps (who also apparently have some of the highest reproductions rates given how common they are across all rings now), Gluttony: Hellhound, Greed: (either the "Lone Shark" or these jester demons that we see in the background sometimes but seem to have some of the lowest numbers of the demons so far). Pride *this is debated, some say the Sinners count but those are human souls *and fan theories they might have once been sent to all the rings but due to some change, maybe wanting natural demons to have a society, the sinners are now sent to sections of pride that imitate the rings*, or possibly and as of yet unrevealed demon race, which might be the cannibal colony mask like sharp tooth faced ones...its just a theory those aren't sinners but their own demons native to Pride. there also hybrids, which does provide evidence the rings were once separated as hybrids aren't that common, and might be seen as second class as we seem to see more hybrids in Sloth *which has a medical and drug theme* than anywhere else.

it's highly implied, via multiple scenes of Blitz trying to spell... he can't... so his lazy texts aren't lazy... he just can't spell

Stolas is actually smart here goading Striker. Striker is a sadist who likes his victims to be afraid and Stolas wouldn't give him that. It bought him some time for help to arrive.

The funniest thing is that Stellas vo said that hardest part was to summon that anger

Ed Bosco did such a good job for striker

9:07 god damn he’s savage

If you remember, way back when you reacted to Digital Circus and the first episode of Murder Drones, you reacted to a video called "N calls everyone". In that video, Striker was there with this Va. It's funny that: 1. That was technically the first exposure to Helluva Boss 2. You finally met the version of Striker you first saw

Don't misread into the texts between Stolas and Blitz. Remember that Stolas is royalty, and educated, and has a library. And Blitz is lower class, uneducated imp... the fact that he is able to reply AT ALL and makes sure to do so most of the time is absolutely a testament to Blitz trying, even if it is not a lot, it is probably about as much as he can.

not long till elf gals all cought up and has to wait for ages with the rest of us ^^ oh crap almost forgot she shouldint miss the stolas music video look my way. thats beautiful!

the pop version of the action song is sung by Lollia, who I very much recommend checking out, she's a great singer

Just a reminder: Stolas and the demon royalty class CAN get hurt/killed by angelic weapons. However Charlie and Lucifer can only be killed by an angel of high status.

Via was sad in ep 2 thinking Stolas hates Stella more than her loves her. But the reality is Stella hates Stolas more than she loves Via

Great reaction love your videos

I might be dumb but Mabye another reason Blitz did not type about visiting is because they would not let him see Fizz when he was in the hospital and he did not want that to happen again because they said Fizz did not want to see him

How many cowboys do you know? Christ I can already hear the RAM RANCH memes. 🤣

The theorie if ehy she hates needles is that a lot of hellhounds were outhenised(the not alive needle) and she allmost got it too as she soon "outgrew" the pound and likely saw many go for a "shot' and not return

You know I wonder how much blitz has to set back for new phones considering how many he's crushed

For those who don't know blitz is a assassin carnie he stands on business quicker than most gang members lol

Not many people notice but i always assumed how stolas reacts after taunting stolas, i think he was just being tough but was actually in intense pain and was scared

Im with Striker....imagine if a random band started following you around and narrating your every move for who knows how long?

My reaction to seeing this after like 6 days of AliciaXDeath not making Helluva boss vids:... About!!!!!!! Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I been waiting for you to do more h3llova boss

I read the title as Stolas Is Broken! Wondered why you'd say that for this one then imagined a DOTA type game with him in it.

@AliciaXdeath, have you ever heard of the hedgehogs Delima? it's the idea that the hedgehog want to get close to each other for warmth during the winter but won't for fear of being hurt or hurting others with their quills so they force themselves to put distance between them

Damn! Lil Moxie sure grew some balls since season 1. The way he handle those guys at the gas station, makes me think he'd do a lot better at the next Harvest Moon Festival ❤️

If you want more pain, intentionally or not the petals could've been doing the he loves me, he loves me not. Petal 1 Blitzø's text(he loves me), petal 2 the no response(he loves me not), petal 3 puts down the phone after probably lieing to himself that Blitzø had a reason to not respond(he loves me), then we end on Stolas sad and curled up followed by petal 4(he loves me not)

9:11 let it be known: she was just offended she didn't even deny it

shes gonna love the stolas songs

the ending i try to think that Blitzo was typing something back and dropped it in the toilet or the sink ya know

I recommend The Volgen's SCP-3935 video. "This thing a quiet Madness made."

The physical hurt is the big thing here. As you watch the next few episodes you will see Blitz's fear of hurting those he cares about.

This tells you Stella hates Stolas very much and is not smart, because she doesn't think of the consequences of her actions. For instance, what would happen if Octivia, her daughter, found out that she killed her dad whom she loves very much?

I love how the hospital is in the sloth ring. Like you are so screwed trying to get some kind of care there.

One of the theories why blitz doesn't text much is an extreme form of lack of formal education. Clowns don't really need to know how to spell or read properly, hence his horrid spelling in his replies to stolas.

Blitzo probably knows a lot of cowboys. He has a bit of a "thing" for horses. Even the pictures from last episode his "research" showed that.

the best thing about text if read it you talk how both just acting like what happen ozzie never happen and just steping around talking about it also "he can get hurt" just hit so fucking hard

"Which VTuber do you like watching?" "...the Gerudo princess?"

All I had to do was look for "Sexy dark elf Vtuber" and that's how I found you, Alicia. Blitz can't spell, it's why he doesn't text anyone... but the fact that he made the effort to type out "Get better soon" was him trying to come out of his comfort zone. Looking forward to the next episode with you, Alicia

Stolas is the embodiment of "don't threaten me with a good time".

Glad that you love the show
