Helluva Boss Blitzo - Blog Posts

So, I’ve been rewatching some of my favorite Helluva Boss episodes lately (as you do, the cope is real). And to add some variety to each rewatch, I’ve started to focus on watching reactors and seeing their takes on those episodes. It’s been a blast! Seeing the different reactions and perspectives that they bring to my favorite episodes. Some of them have even pointed out things I never even noticed while watching the episode on my own. It really adds a freshness to each rewatch, as if I’m seeing the episode for the first time all over again.

Hower, it’s not always a matter of new insights and enjoyable new perspectives. Which is understandable, and expected honestly. It’s the internet, afterall.

What I don’t understand is how every reactor has had almost the exact same response to the scene from “Mammon’s Magnificent Mid-Season Special” regarding Fizz’s stalker “fan”.

Every reactor’s initial response is excitement at Blitz’s timely arrival in intercepting Creepzo, eagerly anticipating Blitz doing what he does best and assassinate the creep. But then Blitz decides not to shoot, opting instead to just smack Creepzo with his gun and leaving him to slink off. Every reactor I’ve watched was flabbergasted by this, not understanding why Blitz didn’t just kill the creep. But then, the whole event is put to the back-burner and ultimately forgotten due to the drama that immediately follows afterwards.

Heck, if I’m being honest, I had the exact same response when I first watched the episode myself. But I’ve been obsessively rewatching my favorite episodes back to back ever since “Sinsmas” aired, so of course I noticed something I didn’t pick up on that first viewing.

Blitz’s reaction to Fizzarolli’s panic says it all. He knew that Fizz wouldn’t be able to handle it if Creepzo got shot. Heck, he was there when Fizzarolli himself admitted that he does’t handle dangerous situations.

Blitz was listening. And he handled the situation in a way that he thought wouldn’t agitate Fizzarolli any more than he already was.

And it doesn’t end there! Here’s another interesting little detail that I don’t see people mentioning.

Asmodeus arrives just in the nick of time to support Fizz and help talk him down from his panic attack. But here’s the thing. How is he there? It was stated multiple times that Asodeus wasn’t supposed to be at the event in Greed. And the whole fiasco that took place in “Oops” shows that he doesn’t keep tabs on Fizzarolli when he’s outside of Lust. So, how did he know?

Simple, Blitz told him.

Blitz was working with Asmodeus to convince Fizz to quit the clown pageant in the first place. But, when everything Blitz said went completely ignored or was outright rebuffed, he simply stood by his friend to act as support. Until he realized it wasn’t enough. Blitz actually assessed the situation and determined that Fizz needed Asmodeus more than anyone else in that moment. And he took a step back and left it to Asmodeus.

Showing yet another instance of Blitz caring about his found family, and showing his love by being considerate in such subtle ways that people don’t notice.

Why don’t I see people talking about this?

Blitz was checking in with his team. Watching their backs and offering them assistance or additional support if they needed it. He even returned to check back in with Moxxie since a decent amount of time passed since he last checked in.

It’s stuff like this that really highlights just how much Blitz cares about his found family. And makes me question why people are so surprised with how considerate Blitz can be with those he cares for in later episodes.

Something about Sinsmas

It’s this scene right here that’s stuck with me ever since the episode released. Blitz is the happiest he’s been in a while. Not to mention the most open and unguarded. The most relaxed. Which brings me to my sticking point.

Those marks under Blitz’s eyes? They aren’t stress/tension marks. You know, those little marks under the eyes that artists use to highlight the strong emotion in characters in certain scenes. No, those marks under Blitz’s eyes are eye bags.

Blitz is exhausted, and he has been for a good while now (those eye bags have been there in earlier episodes too). And now? With him pushing everything to the back-burner to take care of Stolas and Millie’s possible pregnancy reveal in the future? Season 3 could very easily have Blitz getting better at self care with the help/for the sake of his found family. Or maybe even having him break under the pressure prior to that growth.

Honestly, I’m just excited that there’s something else for me to lookout for in Season 3.

Some examples of high energy scenes with highlights under the eyes (that I couldn’t help but include):

fuck zodiac signs, which one of blitz's horse ocs are you?
