The progress of the first season of Helluva Boss is still blazing like the fires of Hell. At the end of January, “Spring Broken” was released as the third episode of the animated series [42]. Over two weeks later, a deeply seductive voice informed fellow Hazbeans about new Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss merchandise being sold for a limited time to help SpindeHorse Toons maintain a fully compatible budget for future projects [15] [49]. Later on, it was announced that the official French dub of the first episode would be released after the reveal of the dub’s cast in honour of the magnifique acclaim of the pilot’s official French dub from late 2020 [17] [18] [45]. It was not long until the release of the fourth episode titled “C.H.E.R.U.B” that was almost a week after International Women’s day [47], concluding the first half of the first season. To spice things up even more after writing my new novella [73], I have decided to review TWO episodes for the price of one, thus preparing for trouble and making it double as if I was about to confront Team Rocket [54]. I also hope that I do not have to feel like how Greg Heffley felt in 2020 anymore [80].

Vivziepop! Vivziepop! Oh, Vivzie, Vivzie, Vivzie, Vivziepop [50]! [48]

That careless announcer may have almost caused me to lose half of my eyesight by letting the cork of a bottle fly straight into my eye a while ago [48], but I was more than daring to watch the fourth episode after the completion of my new novella [73]. At least I did not give the guy a flaming bag of poo [11] [12]. [47]

It looks like the hell of a boss is still rather repulsive as he is seen destroying a television set at the beginning of “C.H.E.R.U.B” [42]. Would you believe that he had been saving up for a green pony seemingly named “Mareajuana” by the design of its cap and its cutie mark that resembles a cannabis leaf? As sleazy and reckless Blitzo can be, I can at least still root for him because of how he angrily confronts a new character and her team about Moxxie being sexually harassed by them and does not brush it off as an off-colour incident in “Spring Broken” [47]. But then again, he does not bother to help Moxxie after he got crushed by a shattered chunk of a wall in the office twice in “C.H.E.R.U.B” [42]. Aside from the rivalries he gets into, he stills shows determination when it comes to being a hell of a boss as he is still the boss of his business in Hell. Perhaps we should keep the “o” in his name silent if any of us meet him in the afterlife. And perhaps Corrupt Strider could narrate he and his employees’ killing sprees if they were ever in a video game [61].

Blitzo’s overall portrayal in the first half of the first season is a sign of the show’s title being completely trustworthy and not misleading [43] [44], unlike Angry Kid as the red-haired teen hardly ever gets angry and just gets into gross humour or other tactics, leading to his father getting angrily irritated at him in some episodes [2]. [42]

I am not really comfortable with the thought of a character who suffers from anxiety being sexually harassed regardless of said character’s gender, even in a cartoon aimed at adults. But what makes it not seem solely included for shock humour is how it motivates Blitzo into challenging another one of his enemies to result in more engaging conflict within the plot of “Spring Broken”. [42]

Is the love between the two littler imps still lasting [32]? Of course! Well, in spite of them wanting to know what sex with a well-known singer is like at one point [47]. I adore how Millie rescues a drunk Moxxie from being devoured by a monstrous being in “Spring Broken” as it is an example of proof that the damsel-in-distress does not always have to be a female and that the rescuer does not always have to be a male. Super Princess Peach much [53]? Once she insulted one of the new characters out of annoyance, resulting in a little bawl in “C.H.E.R.U.B”, I was like “Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!”. Just after Moxxie sprang into action and caught Millie just in time, the two started to make out and I was like “Bow chika bow wow!” [42] [46] [71] [72]. Considering how much conflict Moxxie has gone through in the series so far, including being crushed by chunks of a wall in “C.H.E.R.U.B” [42], his affection for his wife still seems to be his ultimate coping mechanism, which is absolutely precious. I would say their love is about as functional as Wade Wilson and Vanessa Carlysle in Deadpool 2 [8].

It was quite funny how the so-called “possum” got drunk after being released from a barrel of beer in “Spring Broken”. He sure has that “cute drunk” vibe. [47]

What else can I say about Moxxie and Millie’s love for one another, apart from how adorable they look in their cat costumes in “C.H.E.R.U.B” [42]? The French version of “Oh Millie” was totally worth it since French is a language of love [19] [45]. [42]

By the way Loona is the only member to fully disguise herself as a human, I could tell by the newly revealed human forms that the writers wanted to potentially fill in a plot hole in “Spring Broken”, which is what I will give them more kudos for [47]. Aside from that, we see an expansion on her usually moodiness when she expresses her frustration with Blitzo babying her and such later in the episode. Any of the other four episodes with the second half of the first season that feature a new assignment ought to provide that same sudden consistency that continued in “C.H.E.R.U.B.”, even though the divides are the I.M.Ps turned out to be not as convincing as Loona’s human form [42]. The way Loona also can lure humans to their demises is quite succubus-like when it comes to finally being able to have a more productive role in the business. I am quite delighted that Loona finally has a potentially softer side when it comes to crushing on a new character and gaining some further self-empowerment in honour of her employment outside of how disrespectful she was in the pilot [44].

The conflict between Blitzo and Loona at some point in “Spring Broken” provides some more interesting backstory for the hell of a boss and soon leads to the disguised hellhound feeling some slight remorse for her outburst, which enriches her character development in a humane way outside of a new form of self-empowerment and productivity in the team she consists of whilst disguised as a human. [47]

The mysterious singer who has her own song in “Spring Broken” is Blitzo’s ex-girlfriend [31]. And boy, even though Verosika Mayday is attractive in her human disguise [33], it seems like her breakup with a hell of a boss must have been ugly, thus being fuelled by some measly bickering over a spot within a car park in the present [47]. Not only is she a cunning pop star on Earth and in Hell, but she is also a succubus who can cause arousal through her musical abilities and such [31]. I do NOT want to know what is in the liquor that was in the bottle she threw that spawned a monstrous being in the ocean. And I highly doubt she would want to befriend Aston Kole after she dies [14]. As much as I believe that quite a lot of conflict that erupted mostly over a darn parking space is rather pitiful, it was interesting to see a new female character as another element of Blitzo’s backstory. Now that we know about a relationship he had that failed, there is hope that we may know a little more about one of his sisters Verosika mentioned being in rehab as we know that both of them appear in posters in his office [20] [29].

Verosika’s ability to cause humans to be sexually stimulated on Earth in a charming way as a singer whilst in her human form reminds me of Catherine from the game with the name same [5]. Could Petey the Sexual Harassment Panda from South Park teach the succubi to not take it too far [60]? Apart from her failed relationship with Blitzo, could a new open relationship between her and another demon be better in another episode? [47]

It turns out that the new male hellhound is named “Vortex” and is not related to Loona at all [47] [71] [72]. Instead, he becomes her potential love interest once they meet in their human forms. Despite how tough and stern he seemed in Hell and Earth, even when he defended Verosika from an overly obsessed fan of hers as a human, he eventually softens up whilst talking to Loona at a beach where Verosika’s concert takes place. I like how his human form resembles an African-American man as it expands on the diversity within the steadily increasing amount of characters in the series. Did anyone else sense a Romeo and Juliet vibe between them since Vortex is Verosika’s bodyguard as Blitzo butts in during their little conversation [10] [11] [57]? Besides that, I really like how wholesome he can be off duty [47], which makes him far beyond the generic “tough guy” trope. Bless him. I wonder if he can appear in either another episode in the second half of the first seasons or the second one with the opportunity to be even closer to Loona, even though he mentioned that he was already in a relationship with another hound. Could there be a love triangle?

Tex sure is a nice guy outside of his occupation. Does anyone else ship him with Loony? [47]

Can you believe that the fourth episode titled “C.H.E.R.U.B” brought on an epic battle that was hinted with certain emojis in its last two previews on Twitter [35] [36]? The cherubs in Heaven may look as cute as the characters from the Kitten Catfe series [37] [38] [39], but I still remember hoping that they will not be as strangely menacing as the panda from the 2016 reboot of The Powerpuff Girls who sounded like Mickey Mouse after he smoked marijuana before the episode’s release [64] [76] [77]. Nonetheless, it makes so much sense for the trio to try and convince a new character to not commit suicide and make suggestions on what to do with his money, such as paying for hospitals since it is commonly believed that tender-hearted people go to Heaven after they die. Throughout the whole episode, I found it quite weird how I was honestly siding with a team against the imps for a change, despite their client’s questionable morality. Since it has been confirmed in the Hazbin Hotel pilot that Hell is overpopulated [24], what if there are currently only about one-hundred and forty-four thousand saved souls and spiritual beings [40] [55], including the Cherubs in Heaven before they made a mistake?

Would you believe that Medrano herself also voiced another character from Heaven named “Deerie” [23] [41]? [42]

I felt bad for the Cherubs being forbidden to return to Heaven after a big mistake, especially Cletus who burst into tears. Perhaps they might appear in another episode as fallen angels in darker designs in either another episode of Season One or at some point in Season Two? [42]

What other new characters are there in “C.H.E.R.U.B”? The energetic man referred to as “Loopity Poopity” who died and went to Hell sure is loopy as he exclaims in a sing-song voice, but he has a fairly unique backstory [42]. How he aged far too quickly to the point he passed away efficiently is rather unsettling and we can understand his motives for hiring the I.M.P as his companion Lyle Lippton survived the rapid ageing…only to betray him by making all the money for himself. I may not approve of Lyle only caring about the money and expressed hatred towards orphans, even at his deathbed, but I was quite unnerved at how he attempted to hang himself before the three cherubs arrive. Towards the fourth episode’s conclusion, I liked how he realised why life is worth living as we only get to live once, even though he only refrained from committing suicide just to buy materialistic things…and suddenly got crushed by the piano. His afterlife design kind of reminds me of Grounder from The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog [66], but he mostly looks like Dr. Robotnik [58] [59]. Now that the two men are reunited in Hell, could they be new rivals for Sir Pentious from Hazbin Hotel [69] [74] [75]?

There is also a character who previously appeared in “Loo Loo Land” named “Wacky Wally Wackford” who is really not subtle with hiding his true money-hungry intentions [43]. [42]

I may be quite unnerved at the battle between three angels trying to prevent a greedy old man from killing himself and three demons trying to convince him to do it, but I can at least feel the tension within the father unique conflict [42]. I would honestly root for a character to not commit suicide since I recall explaining how seriously suicide is taken in today’s society [73] [74]. Nevertheless, I am still up for our devilish antiheroes slaying new non-suicidal human antagonists partially for their immoral acts as part of stone-cold karma. Besides, I want Katie Killjoy from the pilot of Hazbin Hotel to get sacked from her job for how relentless she was Charlie [67] [73] [74]. [42]

Some new visuals in these two new episodes further enrich the expansions of what the first season of the show has to offer. Two moments that remind me of the intro of the original Powerpuff Girls series are the stage’s huge screens during Verosika’s performance in “Spring Broken” and the moment of two of the cherubs hugging in “C.H.E.R.U.B” [42] [47]. The way Blitzo’s storyboard suddenly becomes an animated sequence in “Spring Broken” is utterly brilliant with crudely drawn versions of the characters on a plain white background, somewhat resembling the asdfmovie series [56]. Apart from how the beach in “Spring Broken” is also colourful and detailed [47], the tiny hearts that spawn from Verosika and some members of her audience add to her ambitions in sexually stimulating mortals. The colour palettes of Heaven in “C.H.E.R.U.B” are indeed heavenly with soft tints of blue and yellow, matching the cherubs’ adorable designs [42]. The filter used for Loopity Poopity’s backstory contains a specific palette and effect to make it look like an old film from the 1940s, which greatly expand on the animators’ artistic abilities. With the same energy and amount of detail from the pilot and first two episodes put into the animation and backgrounds, the third and fourth episodes are visually exceptional.

The moment the sky went all dark as the giant fish monster rose from the depths of the ocean add to a sudden change of tone within the scene in “Spring Broken”. The bleaker colour palette for the sky makes Millie’s mission to save Moxxie from being devoured by it and then slaughter it more intense. [47]

Betty Boop in Helluva Boss?! What the hell?! It is crazy enough that a parody of Dora the Explorer made an appearance in that episode of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy [68]! [42]

I will admit that I found a scene in “C.H.E.R.U.B” a little out of place [42]. Strangely enough, one location the cherubs show Lyle to try and save him from suicidality is a shopping centre where a man dressed up as Santa Claus spreads joy to many children, which made me believe that “C.H.E.R.U.B” is set in December at first, but as I reflect on other scenes on Earth being set in warmer climates, I still found the Santa Claus scene to be highly inconsistent and unfitting for the time of the episode’s release. Nonetheless, I think that scene within the fourth episode must have developed during the Christmas break of 2020, so some slack from yours truly will be given. Alternatively and quite strangely, the whole episode might as well be set in July, meaning that the humans at the shopping centre must have been celebrating Christmas in the summer, just like how the cul-de-sac kids from Ed, Edd n Eddy did one time [9], along with how the Baby Looney Tunes attempted to pretend it was Christmas for Lola to receive a present during the same season [4]. Who knows? An actual Christmas-themed episode of Helluva Boss might be released this December.

I swear! If this pandemic does not end by July, I am putting my Christmas tree up early! [42]

With wit and courageousness, let us analyse some more forms of humour. Moxxie’s critique of Blitzo’s poster in “Spring Broken” kind of reminds me of how I would expect people to critique some of my older writing [47] [71] [72]. Nevertheless, many damned souls get easily convinced by it, which is quite pricelessly ironic. I cannot believe there would be a sneaky fourth wall break regarding the fandom, which is the camera gradually zooming into the I.M.P team looking directly at us after Blitzo explains his reasoning for forbidding Loona to join the bet against his ex at first. How the tour guide on the bus describes the disguised I.M.Ps about to sneak into Lyle’s mansion in such a calm and casual manner in “C.H.E.R.U.B” is assuming [42]. Despite how shocked I was at how a greedy old man tried to hang himself, I can see how some fairly clever dark humour was added to Moxxie’s speaking formally as he suggested he proceed in attempting suicide after the cherubs interfere. The moment Blitzo reveals Santa’s true identity takes a particular scene in Elf to a whole new level [13]. The series ought to still be remotely funny, but still make room for interesting character development in the next half of the first season.

Guys, I am NOT one of those freaks up there! I swear!! I am just a reviewer!! Please do not kill me!! [47]

I could not believe that the fourth episode was teased with a preview of Blitzo and Moxxie crossdressing on Twitter before its release [44]. But EWWWWWW!! A spray bottle full of a substance that smells like urine?! Really?! At least the disguises they and Millie use in “C.H.E.R.U.B” are pretty quirky, including adorable cat suits for the married couple. [42]

Let us tune in to some new tunes in these two new episodes, starting with the ones in “Spring Broken”. The rock song Blitzo sings along to in the van titled “Mustang Dong” sure is rowdy with explicit lyrics [27] [47]. Vacay to Bonetown, the ballad Verosika croons on stage is rather hypnotic and sounds like a song Megurine Luka could do a cover of someday [47] [63]. It is themed around going on a vacation in the summer with lyrics such as “Take a Vacay babe” and contains some sexual references such as “Catch some rays with catching some D” [30]. What about the one in “C.H.E.R.U.B”? Well, well, well. It seems like the lyrics of the theme song for the C.H.E.R.U.B’s business point to the fact that their prime goal is the polar opposite of the I.M.P’s business after all [22] [47] [71] [72]. Furthermore, it kind of sounds like a sugary-sweet parody of the theme song for the I.M.Ps from the pilot to a degree [44]. Surely there ought to be French versions of the songs from the last two episodes, including the angsty song titled “My World Is Burning Down Around Me” a teenaged Octavia listens to in “Loo Loo Land” with help of the wonderful Hazbin Hotel Version Française team [16] [19] [28] [43].

Perhaps the devious and seductive Verosika will have another musical number up her sleeve in another episode within the first season [46] [71] [72]. She really does have those Catherine vibes [5]. Who knows? [47]

As for the C.H.E.R.U.B, perhaps another future episode will go into detail on the business of saving mortals’ lives could still be running with new employees in Heaven. [42]

How Stolas does not exactly appear in every episode at least prevents the gag of him spewing censored sex references to Blitzo from becoming too repetitive and makes room for the development of other characters [43] [44] [45]. I ultimately believe the purpose of how he failed to clearly explain his unloving marriage to his daughter in the resolution of “Loo Loo Land” was to prevent spoilers before the release of the fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth episodes of the first season [43]. At least we know that Stolas’ lustful nature towards Blitzo allows him and his employees to keep travelling to Earth in order to keep their business going because of an ancient book that was given to him [25] [44]. Despite that, since Blitzo seemed saddened by the loss of his cat puppet during the assignment in “C.H.E.R.U.B.” [42], perhaps the lanky and seductive owl can give him a new one to try and win his heart in a much more modest and genuinely caring way. Now that would level up his likeability even higher. Is anyone up for some ASMR from the prince who is at least a well-meaning father to his daughter after this review [62] [63] [71] [72]? I am!

Surely Stella was only angry at Stolas’ adultery simply because he slept with an imp [43], which would be a sign of her being bigoted towards imps as they, along with hellhounds are referred to as the “lowest” in Hell’s society [24]. I guess Blitzo’s apology in the pilot was not enough [44] [45]. Perhaps a new episode of Hazbin Hotel can feature Charlie encouraging equality for all beings in Hell during the rehabilitation for sinners staying at the hotel [21] [74] [75]? [44] [45]

“You will be okay. Everything will be okay.” [43]

How does it feel to have gone through the first half of the first season? As scorching as the flames of Hell, I tell you! How can we punish a few people who suddenly make Hazbin Hotel fandom toxic by causing drama? Temporarily ban TikTok of course [51]! On a lighter note, I am fascinated by how the official artwork of Charlotte Magne, my favourite character now has her long blonde locks tied in two black bobbles instead of just one, implying that there could be some very minor and not so drastic changes within overall character design in the television show that takes place after the events of the pilot [21]. While the second half of the first season Helluva Boss awaits us, I am still up for analysing the trailer for a whole season of Hazbin Hotel, which may include the slight update of Charlie’s hair. Additionally, will comparing a second season of Helluva Boss to the first one be like comparing making love to f**king [1] [3] [6] [7]? Probably not, but who knows? While new IPs in the late 2010s continue to flourish in the early 2020s, some old ones from the 1990s can eventually get revived with new vibes at the seemingly right times for their revivals [52]. Stay sinful, murder professionals!

Here is the lovely Miss Charlie with her updated hairstyle. I cannot wait for a whole season of Hazbin Hotel to air on telly soon. [21]

As for the first season of Helluva Boss, one half down! The other half to go! I am also hoping to see a second season by next year, otherwise labelling the series as “Season One” without any plans for a second season would seem pointless [26]. [42]
