Helluva Boss Theory - Blog Posts

I’m convinced Millie is going to be the first imp to go full demon. She’s either the calmest/most levelheaded member of IMP, or a deranged/blood thirsty overprotective beast. There is no in between with her.

And with a baby on the way… That overprotectiveness is going to be amped up beyond the usual

Random thought: Do the other Sins have their own versions of Asmodean Crystals?

I’ve been thinking about Barbie Wire a lot lately. So of course I can’t help but notice (and become absolutely obsessed with) the way her Asmodean Crystal differs from all the other ones we’ve seen so far.

Now granted, I may be overthinking things again and it’s just a matter of Barbie needing a different version of an Asmodean Crystal due to her being an imp that doesn’t have the magic needed to make a human disguise herself. Or it’s just a repurposed crystal that was stolen from one of Asmodeus’ workers and altered somehow.

But I REALLY like the idea that it’s actually an Asmodean Crystal knockoff made by another Sin.

Mammon in particular is already known for stealing the ideas of his fellow Sins for his own gain. Loo Loo Land being a cheap copy of Lucifer’s Lu Lu World being a prime example. I can easily believe Mammon would copy Asmodeus’ actually legal Asmodean Crystal with a “cheap” illegal version that unsavory businesses like Barbie’s would use to get to Earth when they usually couldn’t. And with Mammon holding a grudge against Asmodeus in particular over Fizzarolli quitting, he’d be more than willing to make knockoffs that could be blamed on Asmodeus since they’re Lust’s design and jurisdiction.

And that’s before even considering Leviathan!

Envy is notorious for generally being a sin portrayed as jealous of what others have and wanting it for themselves. Sometimes going so far as being portrayed as wanting to BECOME a different person altogether (think Fullmetal Alchemist). I can definitely see Leviathan as a sin of envy making knockoff Asmodean Crystals, but with her own spin on it to make it “better” somehow.

Or, maybe she’d even work with Mammon on making their own version. After all, Greed and Envy are pretty compatible sins, and that trial in Mastermind did reveal an interesting dynamic. I can definitely see them using each other for their own gains.

And it is done! I wrote a theory, I bought the merch and now I’ve buckled down and wrote a fanfic on the topic. May this obsession be appeased enough to leave me alone!

May everyone else enjoy my descent into madness.

Ever since season 2 concluded back in December, I’ve been rethinking Brandon Roger’s slip of the tongue about how Blitzø “ran” I.M.P. instead of “runs”. A lot of us were convinced that Mastermind was going to have Blitzø’s business being destroyed along with the building it was being run in. But then Sinsmas aired, and I.M.P. is still going strong.

But then that begs the question, was that earlier statement by Brandon just a slip of the tongue? Or were we given a hint to a future conflict/conclusion that takes place in a later season?

Personally, I think there’s still a chance that Blitzø is going to lose I.M.P. And my obsession with finding lore/future hints in Vivzie’s official merchandise turned a simple passing thought into a freakin full blown obsession that just won’t leave me alone. So of course I’m going to share the insanity.

This Halloween T-shirt’s art is what started it all.

Blitzø is dressed up as an angel, something that anyone from hell would consider as terrifying or monstrous. Perfectly in theme with Halloween while also being ironically hilarious to the audience.

But what if it’s more than that? What if it’s a possible hint about how Helluva Boss will end? What if Blitzø doesn’t lose I.M.P. or willingly retire and pass it on?

Helluva Boss could just as easily end with Blitzø’s death. But that doesn’t mean it’s actually “THE END” the end for Blitzø’s or even Helluva Boss’ story. Because Blitzø could be reincarnated as an angel, just like he’s dressed up as in the Halloween art.

After all, Vivzie is also famous for another show based in hell that focuses on redeeming those condemned to live in hell. And one of those sinners was even redeemed and made it into heaven after sacrificing himself for his loved ones.

This sounds exactly like something Blitzø would do. In fact, he’s already tried to sacrifice himself for his family once already, and I highly doubt he won’t do it again. Especially with Stolas in the picture being as apathetic of his own life as he is.

Now, we know little to nothing about how death affects hellborns, or if they even have souls that can die like a human’s from earth. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be a possibility! After all, ghosts might not exist in the Helluva Boss universe. But reincarnation hasn’t been taken off the table yet! And it would really add an interesting twist in the lore of the Helluva/Hazbin universe. Which would then be the perfect excuse to bring some Helluva Boss characters over into Hazbin Hotel.

Oh, and then there’s the full moon/heaven imagery to consider.

Heaven is the freaking moon in Helluva Boss! And Stolas has already visualized Blitzø as being unreachable in the glow of said moon…

So, maybe there is merit to the idea that Blitzø can be reincarnated into heaven. Thoughts?

Oh dang! I’m not the only one that thinks Octavia might be forced into an arranged marriage in season 3. I’m not sure if I’m terrified or gratified. Just depends on who ends up being the one that tries to set her up with someone in the end.

Though I do like Cartoon Universe’s take on it too

Season 3 prediction: Andrealphus and Stella will try to set Octavia up in an arranged marriage.

And it will either result in her being put in a position where she is powerless/unable to take her place as Stolas’ heir, or she will renounce her position as heir altogether to avoid said marriage.

As we know, Andrealphus’ claim to Stolas’ position is on a time limit. Not only does Stolas get his power and position back in 100 years (a mere blink of an eye to immortals), but Octavia’s impending 18th birthday seems to also be a point of contention. Especially if Andrealphus wants to keep his position of power.

As things stand now, Stella and Andrealphus really have nothing to fear of Octavia coming of age and inheriting her father’s position. After the events of “Sinsmas”, there’s no way she’d kick her mother and uncle out after her confrontation with Stolas. Octavia will want stability more than anything after that, and she’ll cling to Stella and Andrealphus in desperation for even a chance at that stability/normalcy.

Which makes her the perfect target for Andrealphus and his scheming. There’s no way he’s going to hand over his new position of power willingly, especially not after all the work he put into getting it in the first place. So, what better way to get Octavia out of the way than to make her marry into another Goetia family altogether?

Without Stolas there to prevent it, Stella would happily jump at the chance to further their family’s standing by marrying her daughter off.

Not only would this be the perfect way to reveal to Octavia her parents’ arranged marriage, but it’d also give Stella a good excuse to reveal to her daughter (and us) her own backstory/experiences with the Goetia.

Just as promised for season 3.

theory

Just thought of this while watching the new episode of Hellva so here’s a little theory so to me blitz scars on his body, seem like burn scars, which is the basis of my theory so what if the reason Fizzarolli and Barbie wire hate blitz so much is because he burnt down the circus and accidentally killed his mother now we don’t know that she’s actually dead, but no one ever talks about her and no one ever mentions her, which I do not think if his mother was alive that he would not mention her as it was shown in the picture that they were very close with their mother, but not close to their father at all we know his father sold him off. I think it was like for pennies or something I have to rewatch, but we know clearly he didn’t care enough for blitz and we never hear about him now only in the past leading me to think that he is also dead so my theory is what if one day blitz got so mad at his old man that he decided to burn it all down so he told the people he cared, about to leave the circus for a while and when he thought they were all gone, he burn the place down, using hellfire , but they didn’t leave because one reason or another I do believe that Blitz told them to leave and not come back as a type of warning I do not believe that he hurt them on purpose but I do believe that could be the reason why Barbwire and

Fizzarolli hates him so much and maybe the death of their mother made Barbie either turn to drugs or relapse, if she was already using and that could be why she says that he ruined her life

So...I've always thought that both the song Stolas sang  in ep. 2 and Via's nightmare were meant to be some kind of foreshadowing.

Today I was going through my favorite Stolas moments (as I should) and heard the song again…

Here are my thoughts:

What if Via's nightmare in ep.2 is, in fact, foreshadowing the 2nd part of the finale?

Hear me out: a lot of people have stated that they think the 2nd part of the final episode could be set on Stolas's house with a big, epic, fight between the I.M.Ps, Stolas, and Striker himself; however, I think this could take another turn.

My theory is that Stolas is going to be totally alone in his mansion when he's confronted and defeated by Striker, who'd then take him hostage. 

This makes perfect sense in my brain because, in the last episode, Stolas mentioned that Via was "with her mother this weekend"–implying that the events that take place during ep. 7 happened on a Friday or a Saturday night, as well as ensuring that Stella knows Stolas is alone. She also probably knows he isn't feeling his best–let's remember that they were married, maybe not in love, but married—Stella surely knows Stolas enough to have an idea of how he feels with all that has happened. 

With all of this, she'd think it to be the perfect moment to attack our poor king: he's vulnerable and alone. 

Stella has the upper hand, and she takes advantage of this. 

Back to Via. I don't have this whole thing fleshed out, but, what if Via came back Sunday afternoon to stay with her dad the rest of the week––assuming this is how they (Stolas and Stella) decided to split their quality time with her––just to find out that he isn't home? This would also match with the foreshadowing idea since, in Via's nightmare, she tried to look for her dad all around the palace and "he wasn't there". 

Now, how'd Blitzø and the gang find out about all of this? (Bc,c'mon...they're most definitely meant to get involved if something like this does happen) 

Well my partake in that is that Via (being the smart girl she is) will feel that something's just not right and, knowing Stolas' relationship with Blitzø (Loo loo land ep ), she'll straight up go to the I.M.P headquarters and ask for help. 

So, the I.M.P's, with all the knowledge they have on Striker and Stolas, will connect the dots and go to his rescue.

There're a lot of plot holes in this, I know, but I just came up with the theory and wanted to save it somewhere :3 

Just to CLARIFY: I don't think Stella would make Stolas a hostage but Striker, however, could definitely take his job a 'little' step further. 

Reblogging again with more details/episodes because I've been coping with election stress by hyperfixating on HB :3

S1E5: THE HARVEST MOON

16:00: A ticking clock when Striker escapes after trying to shoot Stolas. There’s a shot of Blitz staring out the window in horror and then of Stolas at the festival.

S1E6: TRUTH SEEKERS

The first ticking clock in the intro screen.

3:32 (and a bit before): There’s a clock in the room Blitz and Moxxie are held in by D.H.O.R.K..

S2E1: THE CIRCUS

21:13: After Stolas says, “We are getting the DIVORCE,” while Stella says “How dare you,” the clock starts ticking.

S2E3: EXES AND OOHS

19:00: When Moxxie stands up to Crim there’s a clock in the background (like OP said)

S2E4: WESTERN ENERGY

2:38: Immediately after Stolas says the iconic “Oh shit, am I in danger right now?” after Striker destroys Stolas's phone, when the camera cuts back to Blitz, there’s a clock ticking in the background

S2E6: OOPS

Oh, there's so much in this episode. This episode is kinda weird because there’s a clock (as in the literary device) in the story (e.g., you have until midnight to sign the forms). So some of the clock imagery in Oops might be due to emphasizing the amount of time Fizz has left.

5:22: There’s a clock in Crim’s office when he’s talking to Striker

6:43: The clock starts ticking when it’s time for Ozzie’s appointment with Stolas. Then, when the camera goes to Stolas, there’s a clock behind him and the clock is ticking in the background. Side note but this is the first time we see him after Western Energy. Blitz go give the sad owl a hug. Anyway, this specific scene gets to me because the clock behind Stolas is so prominent and the ticking is so LOUD.

9:08: During the ransom video, Crim draws a clock that starts ticking and then it hits Stolas in the face…

THAT'S not ominous at all...

16:38: This is the second time we come back to the attorney, Stolas, and Ozzie. Stolas is talking, the clock is ticking in the background, and Ozzie is checking his watch. This might just be part of emphasizing the clock in the episode and less of the OVERALL clock though

I don't have the mental capacity to rewatch The Full Moon or Apology Tour rn. I also may be missing some from other episodes.

What I find interesting is that there's no ticking clock in Truth Seekers other than the intro, or in C.H.E.R.U.B. Every ticking clock noise I've heard has been associated with Striker and Crimson, who, for the record, may still be working together. I think it's a sign that Striker and Crimson are going to make a reappearance. They've got beef with Stolas, Blitz, and M&M.

Hey anyone wanta help my conspiracy brain with the ticking clock noise? 😁

Soph pointed out that the ticking clock turns up, at the moment Moxxie goes against his dad's wishes.

So I'm now trolling through the other episodes from True Seekers onwards, (cus no start of ep ticking before that), to see if it's in the background elsewhere.

Guessing it'll be when each of them makes an enemy. Because that seems to link to it speeding up.

Someone want to help?

It's cool that we got two "how people would react if they encountered a demon" reactions in Helluva boss like how the family in the first Helluva Boss episode "Murder Family" tried to protect themselves and each other by trying to kill I.M.P

And how in the Helluva short 3 "Mission: Weeaboo boo" ,how instead of Emberlynn Pinkle being scared or defensive, she instead starts outwardly simping over Blitz and flirting with him (be it a cringey way) ,do to her being a monster fucker

So he's my theory, sense we got the first human reactions on how a human would react if the saw a demon , but we got three last ones ; that being

▪︎Now all we need is a human that'll try to start actively running and trying to distance himself from I.M.P (all while screaming)

Especially if she/he/they found out they're hear to kill them (sense I.M.P are assassins)

▪︎And another human that thinks they're adorable (because come on ,Blitz Millie Moxxie and Loona's character design is adorable)

▪︎The moment one of them (whether that be Blitz ,Milie, Moxxie, or all of them ) steps into the human world , a human captures them (that's not the D.H.O.R.K.S) than tries to study them, maybe said human takes fascination and/or interest in cryptology and such

Episode Predictions/ theories:

1. The Screaming Runner

Appearance: A young adult with a lean build, messy hair, and glasses that keep slipping down as they run. Dressed in a hoodie and jeans, they look like an average college student caught in the worst situation of their life.

Personality: An anxious, bookish type who tends to overthink everything. They’re hyper-aware and have a tendency to catastrophize, which leads to their panicked, full-blown flight response when they realize they’re being targeted by I.M.P.

Episode Placement: This episode could take place in an urban setting, like a college campus, and be titled “Hell Week”. I.M.P is hired to take out this character by an angry, overworked professor who made a deal with a demon after being pushed too far. The episode could blend fast-paced comedy with dark humor as the chase escalates through campus buildings, lecture halls, and even the college library.

Episode Vibe: A mix of Scooby-Doo-style chase scenes with the classic Helluva Boss dark twist. The student keeps stumbling into hiding spots and accidentally creating obstacles for I.M.P., while Moxxie and Millie banter about how much work this job has become.

2. The Adoring Human

Appearance: A young, trendy fashion designer in their 20s with bright, stylish clothes, bold makeup, and a camera always in hand. Think dyed hair and glasses with colorful frames. If it takes place in Japan, they could be part of the Harajuku fashion scene, adding flair and an artistic touch to their look.

Personality: Outgoing, enthusiastic, and a bit of an airhead. They’re obsessed with anything “Adorable” and can’t help but find Millie, and despite her demonic appearance. They’re not scared of much and find the supernatural fascinating.

Episode Placement: This could be a fun, quirky episode titled “Demons in Tokyo”, where I.M.P is hired by a fashion CEO to take out a fellow employee at a fashion company (do to the CEO having accidentally been pushed out the building window to his death), but their mission goes awry when this fashion designer spots them and becomes obsessed. The designer insists on following them around Tokyo, taking pictures, and trying to get them to pose, much to Blitz’s annoyance.

Episode Vibe: The episode could be full of culture shock moments for I.M.P., who struggle to maintain their usual dark humor and murderous antics in a place as vibrant and bizarre as Tokyo. There would be plenty of comedic moments, with Millie embracing the chaos.

3. The Cryptid Enthusiast

Appearance: A middle-aged man with unkempt hair,dark maroon brown skin (he's black because i need more black cryptozooligist in my life) , an oversized trench coat, and notebooks full of cryptid sketches and notes sticking out of his pockets. He has intense, tired eyes and a wild look that screams “conspiracy theorist.”

Personality: Passionate, obsessive, and a bit unhinged. He’s the type who dedicates his life to finding proof of supernatural beings and refuses to accept defeat. His fascination is borderline fanatic, and he’ll go to great lengths to capture and study anything out of the ordinary.

Episode Placement: This could be part of an episode titled “The Hunter’s Dilemma”, where I.M.P is hired to take out a corrupt politician. However, they’re captured by this cryptid enthusiast who lives in a secluded cabin in the woods. The episode can have Moxxie having a moral crisis about hurting someone so passionate (albeit misguided).

Episode Vibe: The tone could be tense and eerie, balanced with Helluva Boss’s usual sharp humor. This human would bring a mix of comic relief and suspense as he frantically tries to understand I.M.P and documents their every move, all while being completely oblivious to their annoyance and danger.

Tw: Blood and gore, please look at this with caution

I was thinking back on Blitz's hallucination in S2 Ep10 "Ghost fuckers" and when I thought back on Millies clones that symbolizes her potential what-if deaths and had to make this
