Helluva Boss Striker - Blog Posts

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?

btw this is the conversation they we’re having there

Here's the progress I'm not done I just need to color it that's it @petitprincess1 hope you like it so far I struggled 😂😅

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?
