Blitzø Buckzo

Blitzo Buckzo (pronounced Blitz) is the founder and manager of I.M.P. and the main protagonist of Helluva Boss. He is Loona's adoptive father and Fizzarolli's former co-worker and best friend from their days as kids in the former's father's circus. Blitzo is quite tall for his species and sports a harlequin-like aesthetic. He has red skin with white burn marks of various sizes covering parts of his forearms, chest, and tail, as well as most of the right side of his face. His irises are red and he has a heart-shaped skull symbol on the center of his forehead. Blitzo has fairly broad forearms and hands and a long narrow head extending large, curved, black and white striped horns. He has black spines on his head and upper back, as well as on his tail. His tail ends with a triangular point with a black spot at the tip. He has pointed feet with boot-like heels which are shown to have black on the heels and toe areas. Blitzo wears a tattered slate gray collared coat with red buttons down the breast, black knee-high boots matching the shape of his feet, and elbow-length black fingerless gloves featuring large, rounded yellow decorations on the upper side of them. Blitzo also wears a red skull charm around his neck which belongs to his deceased mother. In his youth, it is shown that Blitzo lacked the white blotches on his body that he has in adulthood. He also lacked the black spines on his head and upper back, as well as the two stripes near the end of his tail and tail spines that he has as an adult. As a teenager, he wore braces. One ability Blitzo has is animalistic noises. Blitzo has been shown to be able to purr like a cat, being displayed during the two times he is in Moxxie and Millie's bedroom, once at the Harvest Moon Festival. Blitzo has also displayed being able to hiss like a snake and cat shown when he was being possessive of Uggie. He also has earthly fire immunity - Blitzo, seemingly like the rest of his species, can not be harmed by human world fires, declaring "that's not how it works" when a human attempts to set him, along with Millie, ablaze. Along with fire resistance, he has a prehensile tail. He is shown to be able to support his entire body by hanging himself upside down by his tail. Blitzo is a sharpshooter and extremely proficient with a variety of weapons. He favors firearms and is often shown brandishing his personal golden percussion pistol. Blitzo, alongside Millie and Moxxie, have a wide variety of costumes they can use to blend into the human world. Due to working at his family circus since he was a child, Blitzo has shown amazing flexibility and it’s able to help him in battle and missions. Blitzo is shown to shift gears in the I.M.P van, meaning he knows how to drive a manual vehicle transmission. By his admission, the "o" in Blitzo's name is silent. "Blitz" is also the German word for "lightning". Blitzo remarks how the "o" has been silent since he resigned from his job at the amusement park of the same name. Those whom Blitzo used to know in the past, such as Verosika Mayday, Fizzarolli, Robo Fizz, and Wally Wackford still pronounce the "o" at the end of his name. In the case of the former two, who are now on bad terms with Blitzo, they pronounce the "o" intentionally, knowing that he now actively dislikes it. The spelling of his name in the series' end credits as well as the official Shark Robot store often alternate from being spelled as "Blitz", "Blitzo", "Blitzø", and "Blitz⦻". In Blitzo's office, a poster featuring himself and his sister, Barbie Wire, labeled "The Amazing Imp Twins" can be seen on the wall, indicating that they were once part of a circus double-act. Blitzo's had involvement with showbiz as a passion that he fell out of. While Blitzo regularly pushes himself (often physically) into the personal lives of others, ironically, he doesn't appreciate it at all when others so much as pry into his personal life. Blitzo is implied to be an atheist, or at least comically cynical in his ideas of a God, as he jokes, "Huh, I guess there is a God!", when informed that the human child Moxxie accidentally shot was their right target, after all. Blitzo loves horses, almost to the point of obsession, and even owns toy horses. This obsession may have been the final straw for his romantic relationship with Verosika Mayday, who finally broke up with him after he mailed out her credit card to purchase horse riding lessons. In "C.H.E.R.U.B", he also spends all the money Loopty Goopty paid him to kill Lyle Lipton on a toy horse named "Mare-ajuana", which is covered in gems. His love for horses dates back as early as his childhood in his family circus. Before its archiving, one of his Voxtagram posts indicated that Blitzo is pansexual. His behavior and dating history on the show were very much reflective of this. However, as the service and its affiliated accounts were not officially canon, it was not confirmed if he identified with the specific label. On June 26, 2024, his pansexual orientation was officially confirmed in a celebratory tweet for Pride Month. It is revealed that Stolas had developed a crush on him when the two were still kids, specifically during the former's first witness of his performance on his birthday. It is foreshadowed in a flashback how Blitzo's career path had turned to murdering people rather than starting his own circus when his younger self stated how he found blood "cool".The relationship between Stolas and Blitzo is a very complicated one. Stolas sees Blitzo not only as a sexual partner but as a romantic liaison, although Blitzo does not reciprocate these romantic feelings initially. As revealed in "The Circus", Stolas first met Blitzo as a child in the circus. However, later on, he recognizes these feelings for Stolas. It is revealed that his mother died in the circus fire, causing Blitzo great trauma for her death and blaming himself. Blitzo also has been keeping Tilla's skull charm ever since she perished. Blitzo has a complicated relationship with Stolas (to say the least), initially ranging from begrudging affection to complete avoidance. The foundation of Blitzo's relationship with Stolas is his agreeing to have sex with Stolas every month, in return for access to the grimoire. This agreement serves as the primary motivating force that has influenced Blitzo's relationship with Stolas, but eventually, Blitzo realizes he has caught onto feelings with the owl demon as much as he wishes to deny them. As a child, it was revealed that Blitzo had met Stolas when the latter caught one of Blitzo's circus performances. After being bought out for the day by Stolas' father, Blitzo proceeded to form a one-time friendship with the Goetia prince. Even then, however, this relationship was undercut by the fact that Blitzo had been instructed by his father to loot the goetia's palace. The pair seemingly never met again until they were adults. Twenty five years later, Blitzo's unexpected re-encounter with Stolas, while attempting to steal the grimoire, quickly transformed into a transactional sexual relationship. At the commencement of this relationship, Blitzo expressed no obvious signs of affection nor romantic interest towards Stolas. Conversely, Stolas had begun to shown an increasing level of romantic attachment towards Blitzo, who was seemingly oblivious towards this. Blitzo was shown to be initally attempting to keep this arrangement strictly professional, expressing a disinterest in sexual encounters with Stolas outside of the bare minimum under their agreement, which is implied to have been made under duress. Slowly over time however, Blitzo is shown to become less "fussy" over the matter of having sex with Stolas. With Blitzo even become flustered at being described as Stolas' boyfriend by Millie, eventually Blitzo would willingly engage in public acts of loving affection towards Stolas, such as kissing him aggressively in front of his employees. After discovering Striker's attempt to assassinate Stolas, Blitzo rejected Striker's offer to cooperate, and came to Stolas' defence, saving his life. It is unknown if Blitzo was, at the time, actually concerned for the life of Stolas, or was saving him so as to not lose access to the grimoire. During a hallucination trip, an illusionary Stolas confronted Blitzo on his fear of being alone affecting every relationship he ever had, causing him to push away any intimacy and affection shown to him, including the real Stolas. This implies that Blitzo had begun to feel or care about Stolas, but he is quick to reject away these accusations. It is also suggested that he sees Stolas as leagues above him because of their difference in social standings. The relationship between the pair deteriorated significantly at Ozzie's restaurant trip. During an attempt to stalk Moxxie and Millie on their anniversary, Blitzo was forced to invite Stolas as his date to get into the club they had reservations to. The end result of this event was Blitzo and Stolas being abjectly humiliated by the club operators, Asmodeus and Fizzarolli. Blitzo then states that Stolas makes it clear all the time that has absolutely no interest in treating their relationship beyond it being transactional. The relationship between the pair remains in limbo, however, the grimoire was still entrusted to Blitzo. During the events a certain emergancy, Blitzo worked with Stolas to locate and rescue Octavia, who had stolen the grimoire and fled to Earth. Blitzo expressed extreme fear when confronted with the need to inform Stolas of the theft. Blitzo made no attempt to reference the prior events with Stolas while conducting the search. In another dire situation, Blitzo expressed worried and frustration when Stolas called Blitzo to rescue him from Striker. Unable to do it due to taking his adopted hell-hound daughter Loona for her shot, Blitzo sent Moxxie and Millie to rescue Stolas. Blitzo was also shocked and horrified to learn that Stolas got badly injured to the point he needed to go to the hospital. Blitzo did sent him a get well message but didn't text back when Stolas said he can visit him. While locked up with Fizzarolli, Blitzo is still trying to believe that Stolas only wanted him for sex since he's a royal prince. But Blitzo also listened to how Stolas would call Blitzo asking about his day, laughing at his jokes, and commenting on his pictures. As Fizzarolli pointed out, it's possible Blitzo just hates the fact that Stolas is a prince instead of outright disliking him in general, since he does care about Blitzo. Blitzo reveals to his employees that it has been multiple months since he and Stolas had participated in their monthly arrangement, though Blitzo enjoyed taking a break from it. When Loona suggests Stolas is actually getting bored of him, Blitzo becomes concerned for the future of his and his employees' careers and decides to buy new sex toys, thinking that some particularly impressive sex will score them more security with the grimoire. However, when he attempts to seduce Stolas, the latter takes his grimoire back, and instead gives Blitzo an Asmodean Crystal, essentially releasing them from needing to meet up once a month. Blitzo initially misinterprets this display of affection as roleplay, causing Stolas to walk away, upset that Blitzo isn't taking him seriously. In a fit of rage, Blitzo calls out Stolas' dismissive behavior towards him and sudden confession onto him after so much time of treating him like a plaything, calling him a "pompous rich asshole". Blitzo, however, realizes too late that Stolas' affection for him was true after he bid him a tearful goodbye and transports him out of the house, leaving Blitzo to realize that he has seemingly destroyed another relationship. Later, Blitzo tries to restart his sexual relationship with Stolas, but Stolas is so heartbroken by their previous argument that he refuses and acts cold toward him. This shocks Blitzo since he can usually get Stolas to be sexually active and leads to another argument about how Blitzo sees Stolas, ending with Stolas asking Blitzo if he has ever apologized for his wrongdoings, and then to Blitzo going on an "apology tour" to prove Stolas wrong and spite him. The tour ends at Verosika's Anti-Blitzo party, where he listens to Stolas sing about his sadness, which causes Blitzo to feel highly ashamed and realize how seriously he hurt Stolas' feelings. After meeting with him at the party, Blitzo genuinely apologizes to Stolas, admitting he didn't understand why a prince like himself would want to be with someone like him, only for Stolas to not only point out how everyone at the party did care for him at some point, but he also refuses to accept Blitzo's apology, once again telling him he doesn't want to be around him right now. While talking to Verosika, Blitzo watches Stolas dance with an succubus man who starts making out with him, which at first makes Blitzo jealous before he sees how happy he is right now, which makes him leave the party in shame. Then, a month had passed since Blitzo's falling out with Stolas, which left him emotionally crushed. He tries to cope with the heartbreak by buying tons of collectable plates and taxidermy owls, leading to draining I.M.P's finances. Later on, Blitzo's regret on how he hurt Stolas is further shown when Rolando forces him to watch his worst memories. After the mission, Blitzo confesses to Millie that Stolas had left him very affected, showing that he had developed true feelings for him. A bit after this, Blitzo was saved from execution by Satan's enforcer by Stolas, who to save him, declared that he is "the mastermind" who gave Blitzo the grimoire to kill the humans, as Blitzo attempted to stop him, causing Satan to declare him innocent and let Stolas pay the consequences. Blitzo had a very strong reaction to Stolas' supposed sacrifice, begging Stolas not to do this and attempting to reenter the court room (hurting his own hand in the process and sobbing). Ultimately, when Stolas exited the court room, having been stripped of his status and effectively exiled from the Ars Goetia, Blitzo offered to let Stolas stay in his home, and even washed him after the former prince was pelted by various substances on his exit from the courtroom. After Blitzo guided Stolas to sleep on the sofa, he was going to ask him something else but when he saw Stolas asleep, Blitzo smiles and ended up kissing the sleeping ex-royal on the cheek, indicating a willingness to express his feelings for Stolas more openly. On Sinsmas day (Christmas down in Hell), Blitzo tries his best to cheer Stolas up and make him feel comfortable after he’s lost his royal status, making him breakfast (and apologising that he’s made him eggs), then later catching rats for him to eat, covering him in his horse toys when he was sleeping, taking him out to see the town and defending him from all the other imps who’re having a go at him. When Stolas wakes up and he realises that he needs to contact Octavia, not only does Blitzo lend him his phone, but the tries to calm Stolas down when Octavia doesn't immediately answer. In the climax, after saving him from the inside of Andrealphus' ice dragon form, a shocked Stolas says that Blitzo just risked his life to save his, which Blitzo replies that he did too, prompting the former prince to initiate a romantic kiss, which Blitzo reciprocates. After the events at the mansion, Stolas bemoans to Blitzo that Octavia now hates him and by the time his punishment is lifted the two will be strangers to each other. Blitzo is able to relate to Stolas by telling him that his twin sister Barbie Wire hates him too and he misses her every day. However, Blitzo hasn't given up on trying to fix things with his sister, so he encourages Stolas not to give up on Octavia either. At the end of the episode, Blitzo and Stolas share a romantic dance on the balcony of Blitzo's apartment, with Blitzo getting on top of a railing so that he can match Stolas' height. During their dance, neither holds back from complimenting and mildly flirting with each other, even talking about how their significant height difference has never been an issue. After the dance, Blitzo smiles at Stolas and wraps him in a tight embrace.

Blitzø gazed over at Stolas- smiling gently as he spoke. "Stolas...you alright?... I know this day has been real fucking shitty but I just want you to know...well... I'm here- Okay?"
