Heaven or Hell: The Characters get to Choose! Hazbin Hotel Afterlife Theory! 

Check out this video where I read YOUR Comments. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dNhNKsroxJs.html

There’s a theory being that Adam is in heaven cuz he didn’t eat the apple so he doesn’t know right or wrong which is actually a very logical conclusion based on what we know

The fact that the employees actually got killed off…(•_•’)

Carmilla having large hands is also partly into her thinking selling her weapons when alive and not using them kept blood off her hands. Now her hands are massive and will be impossible to keep clean. She can't deny her involvement is sin like she did when alive

This was a really interesting theory, but it does seem a lot more likely that there is something helping to guide souls, as Vox would most likely choose to go to heaven, and there is also the fact sir pentious appeared in front of Sera and Emily instead of the gates for unknown reasons. Great video though.

Well, Pentious is one of the few characters that aren't owned by other sinners. I can Imagine that Angel, for example, can act as good as he wants but can't be redeemed as long as his soul is tied to Valentino.

It would be funny that the moment Adam wrote those rules it became possible for a soul to be redeemed. Of course after being killed.

Pentious' ascension does raise many questions. Obviously, the big one is if one can die redeemed in Hell and wind up in Heaven, then can the reverse be true? But also, how many times can this happen? Can a soul just go from one to the other indefinitely, or is there actually a limit to how often they can change realms? 🤔

To be able to choose to go to Heaven or Hell… Sounds like an interesting idea.

To me, I don’t think Sir Pentious knew he’d actually get into Heaven based on how surprised he was. He may have believed in Charlie’s dream and gave redemption a chance, but he mainly was happy to have a safe place where he had friends, could be vulnerable and didn’t need to constantly try to conquer in order to prove himself, so him defending the hotel was him genuinely just trying to do what he could to save the hotel and his friends; he definitely didn’t think he was going to come back since he kissed Cherri Bomb and confessed his feelings.❤ If you are right about belief coming into play and that empathetic people are more likely to go to Hell for even minor things they feel bad about, that would be really tragic.😢 Also, I see you PlushCut.😳😠

Sir Pen also didn't steal those weapons and such, he bought them. He checked all three things

I think I’ve seen a similar theory in an fanfic. Basically guilt over your sins is what condemned you to Hell rather than the sins themselves. If you think you are unworthy of Heaven, you were judged as such and kicked down.

Angelcut? I think ‘Holycut’ or ‘Deepholy’ would be better.

This is kinda terrifying in terms of heaven. If believing in your actions based on whatever sins you may or may not have committed is what determines whether you manifest in heaven or hell, learning about that could cause a massive shift in souls. People who generally believed themselves to be good based solely on the fact that they manifested in heaven will be largely forced to reconsider since if a soul can remanifest in heaven by the belief that they can be redeemed, it may very well be possible to remanifest in hell after dying in heaven. This could even turn into a massive problem as now certain people who may have developed beef over the years, believing that they are stuck with one another could potentially bully someone out of heaven should they belittle them enough to make the other think they deserve damnation.

This could actually explain why Molly's in heaven (assuming her original backstory still applies). Even if she wasn't nearly as ruthless and murderous as her father and Aracniss and not incredibly lustful like Angel she was still part of the Mafia and probably did get her hands dirty to some extent. However she might have left that life behind after her twin brother died or tried to make amends in general and believed herself worthy of heaven in the end.

I hope we see more of Heaven's hierachy. I mean, what is there? The cherubs, heavenborns, winners, seraphim, exorcists, archangels, and god? Is god really the ruler of heaven or maybe heaven is just ruled by the higher ranked angels. And what kind of angel was Lucifer? A seraphim? But whats up with the red wings? In More Than Anything you could see other angels with red wings in Lucifers memories...

I still love that when Adam answers ugly people when Charlie says about their shared problem he looks at the viewer that’s actually really funny because the joke is of course that we are ugly

I had an idea regarding Adam being in Heaven. Perhaps he went there because he was the first human. Due to this, he could hide under ignorance and not knowing better in regards to eating the fruit. Due to this, God or whatever force sends ppl to Heaven or Hell, decided to give him a chance to change. In the end he never changed and the only reason he was still there is cause he didn’t die, yet.

i love this theory SO MUCH because it ties in to what i see as the preponderance of scientific evidence of how the "afterlife" actually works in reality. a few things we know for empirical fact, based on studying people who have had near-death experiences and been clinically dead for varying amounts of time: (1) as the brain dies, one's perception of the passage of time stretches out. 10 seconds feels like, say, 10 minutes, 10 minutes feels like 10 days, an hour feels like 10 years, and so on into infinity; (2) to alleviate or distract oneself from the pain and terror of dying, the brain generates hallucinations which seem to be almost entirely based on one's expectations of what will happen next. hence, people see visions of departed loved ones, and experience a glimpse of whatever kind of afterlife they expect they are headed for (most people see heaven, naturally, but a few people have reported visions of *hell* and, once revived, unburdened their souls of whatever guilt they were feeling for their transgressions). so in this sense you see how the overwhelming majority of people in "hell" fit a stereotype of people who "belong" there; alastor was a serial killer cannibal who probably practiced voodoo, where else would he expect to go? adam and lute perfectly represent the kind of belligerently religious person who is not only convinced that they're going to heaven despite their abhorrent behavior but BECAUSE of it, they believe they are exerting "god's will on earth" and will be rewarded for their cruelty. and so they go where they expected to go and continue on as they always have. meanwhile because it's actually all a hallucination, no soul is actually trapped anywhere so long as they believe there is a way out. even the souls killed by angelic weapons still re-manifest in hell, just in a different form because that is what they have been told happens. once pentious is convinced that redemption is possible, that's exactly what happens to him when he confesses his feelings and puts his life on the line to defend his friends. his mortal brain is *still dying* at this point, but the time dilation and hallucinations have influenced his subconscious expectations and so he "re-manifests in heaven."

He was rising above because he was out for love! Literally what Carmilla Carmine said! ❤

9:40 you know, those were my exact thoughts regarding the system implemented in the TV show "Lucifer". I know they say that people know deep down, but I don't think everyone would

Pentagram Moon might be Purgatory/Limbo? A state of unknowing where to go. We could see Samael incorporated as its sort of protector, helping people discover their truths and what afterlife they belong to. This could be a rare process that only helps Winners, but that's only speculation.

I believe in the Hazbin-verse (and for real life) all humans were originally meant to go to Heaven when they died but after evil found its way to earth, H*ll was created, and the divine order shattered making it so not all humans were good enough for Heaven even in the AD era, but all that’s changing with Charlie who’s not only fixing the order but improving it BTW I think the reason (Hazbin) Adam is in Heaven is because unlike Eve and his real life counterpart he never ate the fruit of knowledge their for never been capable of fully comprehending the difference between good and evil so I highly doubt going into Heaven or H*ll is a choice in the Hazbin-verse

The real reason angels seem so terrible? Imagine this you’ve been hanging out in heaven for 5 million years and you get bored. You decide **** this I want to do something new! And then the corruption sets in.

The employees are in the double hell that Angel mentioned in the pilot o_O

There's another theory floating around that heaven might actually have a population cap. This has to do with some verse in the Bible I'm assuming it's in revelations about a very large but specific number and if Adam died like permanently died that would mean a space was cleared up for a redeem sinner.

are you freaking telling me I'm gonna end up in hell because I have low self-esteem???? ...... well that checks

The cherubs reminds me of Care Bears that have to keep good feelings around or convince the person to live . So - the souls have time to redeem themselves on Earth: plot twist, to prevent them from entering Heaven for the longest time.

If it’s true, there should be moment in the show where it’s revealed, and we see how Pentious is struggling: If he chooses Hell, he would meet Cherry again, love of his life. But he knew they would destroy all Charie’s hopes and she would doubt her doings. And if he chooses Heavens, he can rest easy, hoping that Charlie would get message from Emily about Pentious being in Heaven

had to watch this twice as I was distracted by the background characters appearing 1 by 1 each time cut was on screen...

2:44 the employees are coming back but for how long Maybe it’s the employees turn to get rid of deep/angelcut 😂🤪🤣

I haven't heard of any better theories. It also matches what we know of the characters, nobody seems think they should be in the other place.

I think it would be interesting to see how heaven's population would react to knowing about how the exterminations happen. Would their opinions change? What about potential family members (like Molly for example)

I think that Adam is a special case. Since in the opening he isn’t by Eve’s side when given the fruit I think that he doesn’t know anything about good and evil by default…. Therefore his seemingly narcissistic trait becomes more of a child that never learned what’s good or evil

Nice Angel form Deep Cut, but it got me thinking what if Sir Pentious wants to come back to Hell if Heaven didn't fully excepted him?

I think god is the one who decides who is gets to go heaven or hell. Even though we haven’t seen or at least been mentioned yet in either shows, I still think god is playing an important role in the future.

I would love to see angel going next. Like as a big f u to Val. Im sure the reaction would be priceless!

This theory is very intersting, though i suppose we would need to see more narcicistic people in heaven to prove that point. It seems to me that Adam only really is in heaven because he was the first man, and I dont think any other people like him would ever make it to heaven. If they did heaven would be another place. I also dont think that it is as simple as being good or bad, because the whole core Idea of the show is that people can be both, and its not always one or the other. What i rather think is that you will get to heaven if your soul is without burden and struggle. "Purer" so to speak. What we have seen from heaven so far in the form of mortal sinners that went to heaven, seem to be more peacefully naive in nature. Sera, adam and the exorcists are different, because sera is of course more ancient and wise then mortals could ever be. Adam would have a "pass" because he was the first human (the angels wouldnt really like to admit that he was f*cked up from the start), and the exorcist are also just mere mortal souls who seem to be hand-picked and corrupted by adam. The other mortal souls who we saw so far seemed to be sheepishly peacefull (this could still change of course). People that are just so "on the nose" good and pure that it would be very difficult to find anything remotely "bad" in their character. These could be people who mostly lived a sheltered life and always followed the rule. People who never went astray, where never "tempted" by seductions born from evil, like drugs etc. People who never knew violence or trauma during their life. Or people who where simply to naive and innocent to go to hell. Like the majority of kids for example. This would explain why the ony kids we see seem to primarily live in canibal town. They went to hell because they did something morily bad, like eating another person. But a kid does not just become a cannibal like that, but likely just did so to survive or was fed by an adult. Otherwise they would be mostly innocent. Of course kids could also suffer other "sins" like drug abuse, so maybe we will see more "sinner-kids" in the future linked to these sins. But mostly i recon that most traumatized kids wouldnt be blamed for the stuff they encountered and would end up in heaven. Adulds on the other hand would may be given a more moral responsibility for their actions, so even if lifes circumstances forced them to, sell/take drugs, use violence or kill someone, they would be held more acountable then kids would. Anyhow it seems that people in hell, even though they might be a good person overall, get send there because of destructive behavior, trauma and other things they cant let go of. And as long as they cant let go of it or refuse to let go of it they would stay in hell until they can. Its like finding enlightenment. So i believe what send Pentious to heaven was the fact that he could finally let go of all his wrongdoings. We saw him genuinely apologize, better himself, leave old habits behind (episode about trust), and instead found something else that he could live for. He could let go of his past and finally be pure of heart and intention, which is was let him to heaven after he died. So i think hell is literally like rehab for souls. If you can withstand temptation of your past mistakes, and those who want to take advantage of you (via soul contracts for example), then you could decent into heaven once you worked on yourself enough. That also said: it seems like pentious was all in all a very lonely character at the start of the season. He bugged people because he wanted their attention, not of evil motives. But because he found friends and people who genuienly cared for him, he fullfilled his own pure hearts wish and let go of the trauma of feeling lonely.

It could also partly being running on Little Nicky logic with doing something good before you die (or in this case die again) helps get you into Heaven. And doing something bad helps earn you a spot in Hell.

I think it's going to be hard and tricky at this point to define what gets you into Haven in Hazbin Hotel, but I hope they do a good job of it.

The idea that you go wherever you think you deserve to could certainly explain Adam being in heaven, but he's also the only confirmed human soul in heaven that we actually meet, and even among humans, he could be a bit of an exception. I also like the idea that he's never shown or said to have eaten the fruit of knowledge of good and evil, so he's innocent by default because he's literally incapable of knowing right from wrong.

Angel cut is so darling!

I absolutely love these videos 0:12 deepcut seems to rock that heaven look

"Not everything is spelled in Ink" Now it is thanks Adam 😂

In the tv show Lucifer your guilt and regrets got you sent to hell but once you let go of them you could get into heaven

Omg thank you. This has been my theory for so long and I’m so excited that someone is exploring it as well.

Great theory, I was thinking along the same lines, after a binged the show. But I hope it won't be true, both being shades of grey would feel better imo than the plottwist of heaven is where narcisists go. I like to imagine nowdays that Adam went to heaven, because he didn't eat from the apple and had no other chance to sin.

Very interesting theory!

U don’t understand how much I want this to be wrong

I still love "Sir Repentious."

So were just not gonna talk about how in the background there is a panting of chibicut pushing impcut off a cliff

Will Angel even want to go to heaven, it seems like he would be bored there, and go crazy.

I still think the heavenpuppy is still cute. Also, might wanna do something about that horned yeen's halo and polo. Or is that a leggy, based on the shape and coloration of the muzzle?

He was redeemed because he was a cat person who appreciated a cute tuxedo cat coming to him for attention.

I think this is a very cool idea of how it all works. Maybe if Adam ends up reforming in hell the thought could be revised a little bit. But it is really solid and I can get behind it as of season 1.

In the show 'Lucifer' on CW the concept of hell was that sinners were there because the felt they deserved to be there based off of their actions. They didn't necessarily choose to be there over heaven but they were trapped in hell because of how they felt about their past actions/lives, that they deserve to be there. So I don't think it is a stretch to say the hell in this universe can work that way as well. I enjoy this theory

K so the reason Adam is there bc when he died, he deserved to be in heaven, but then as the years when on and his feelings marinated, he got arrogant. So yeah the “angels can do whatever and remain in the sky” is most likely true. My personal side theory is that in order to switch to whatever you actually belong to, you need to die first, hence why angel wasn’t in heaven, and why I believe Adam will become a sinner.

Redemption at its finest

Whether it's Heaven or Hell, I'm sure Sir Pentious will never forget anyone down there in Hell and who knows, maybe Cherri Bomb would reunite with Sir Pentious if she got redeemed.😊💕

This would explain SO much

The new background music is pretty cool

I have a theory that the red pentagram in the sky is purgatory

4:27 ...you *are* aware that no one had died until after the fruit was eaten, right? There's no souls to be sent to heaven

ooh, the background characters are appearing here!!!

Nice exploration. Interesting.

Whole theory is just summarized as “it’s a mind set bro” lol

You are looking real classy in your angel form

I have a theory that Adam is only in heaven because he didn't eat the fruit. In the scene of Lilith giving Eve the fruit, Adam is nowhere to be seen, he's just a bad person who doesn't know what bad is, so how can he be punished for something he didn't know he did?

There’s one left we need to save the last one

This just made me say HOLY SHIT out loud. It makes so much sense

Love the video 🎉

How rich is SP because he was able afford to buy 2 rounds for everyone in a club.

So the angels just said, heaven and hell already exist, they seem to be working, why not use them?! Makes sense actually.

Sir pentious made it to heaven by, and i quote, making the ultimate sacrifice.

You know what would be funny?! If Adam changed the rules the moment he wrote that sheet of paper so now anyone that meets that criteria will get into heaven. I do agree on the afterlife is a choice. I like to think you look at your life without knowing it’s your life and judge whether that person should go to heaven or hell. I’d like to think that it’s thanks to Charlie giving him a second chance that he got into heaven.

I have an alternative idea: I think Adam put Sir Pentious into heaven unintentionally through killing him. Hear me out: hell is the final chance for souls that due to various sins fail to go to heaven. When they manage to redime themselves in hell through a selfless act of love they go to heaven when killed by an exorist otherwise they die for good. It could also be that they need to meet certain criteria decided by the angles and you could argue that Sir Pentious through his sacrifise checked Adam's list. This would also explain why no demon before him manifested in heaven after being killed by the angles, there were no such list.

The theory may make sense. Sinners are forever bound to reside in only the Pride ring after dying and going to Hell. And some of them shown did show negative qualities such as narcissism and arrogance, which are relating traits to the bad side of pride. But for others, like our main cast, were pretty apathetic-driving themselves deeper into their wrong choices and accepting their fates in Hell. Sir Pentious was once bad in life since he devoted himself to villainy. He wasn't that prideful in a sense, but rather he wanted to paint himself as a person committed into doing bad things. Before he self-sacrificed himself to save everyone, we see changes in his character where he's slowly breaks away from his negative qualities and accepts good ones

If this is true it could really lead to some interesting episodes and honestly can't wait for the second season

Reminds me of the show Lucifer... Hell being a place that Humans decide to go. The doors were always unlocked, but no one ever believes they can leave.

The one big wrench in the theory of Sir Pentious CHOOSING to go to Heaven is that the very last thing he did was wage war against Heaven while defending his home in Hell. On top of that, Sir Pentious didn't wake up at the pearly gates. He got dropped right into Sera's and Emily's living room. Almost as if whatever cosmic force sent him to Heaven wanted to make sure, not just that he got in, but that the person most likely to oppose his entry knew damn well that it was for real and not to be questioned. I think there is a greater power, and I'll even go the extra mile and say that Hell is an intentional (or at least accepted after the fact) component of the grand design, both so that Heaven can exist in contrast as opposed to just in ignorance, and so that sinners -- even if only a very rare few -- can be molded by all the trials of Hell into angels most powerful (or at least the most durable) than have ever been seen before. So... Yeah, I'm accepting a "greater power" narrative. Though I suspect it will have to be one that Sera and co. will have to accept will go completely unseen and remain unknowable except in these exceptionally rare of instances.

This is a great theory

Absolutely goated

His employees come back as the video goes on

There's also this theory that Adam might not have truly died and recieved judgement as a human. The theory is supported by the fact that all the souls in both heaven and hell have animalistic traits, the ones in hell are given traits they hate, while the ones in heaven are given forms they like. The only human like beings in heaven seem to be either natural heavenborn like Emily and Sera, the exorcists like Lute or Adam who never takes off his mask while in heaven because he still appears human. Adam also has one trait different to Sara, Emily and Lute, he still has his human ears while the three female angels don't have ears at all, at least not visibly. My theory is that after Adam and Eve did their duty on earth, making more humans, Adam was brought straight up to heaven, this would lead Cain to eventually kill Abel becomming the world's first Murderer who could very well be Zestial since he's the oldest Overlord. But yeah Adam never died a human death, was never truly judged, was brought to heaven and turned into an angel and had to wear his exorcist mask 24/7 otherwise the souls in heaven would know something was up. So when Adam's mask eventually broke during his fight with Lucifer in hell, then he was stabbed to death by Niffty, is fair to think he might come back as a sinner since now he's actually died for the first time and was finally judged and deemed unfit for heaven. It would make sense, especially if Sera was trying to save face and get Adam into heaven despite him not being fit for heaven at all, he's her dirty little secret.

Okay, I dont think u get to choose simply cause the teacher on episode 1 of helluva boss seems like she really thought she doesnt deserved being in hell

I really like this show, it reminds me on so many levels of The Good Place.

while i LOVE this theory, i'm really hoping to see adam as a sinner in the next season so i'm slightly hoping this isn't true. i still love the concept though!!

The new holy cast is great, but how exactly did you ascend the furniture too?

i dont think pentius knew he was getting ANY afterlife after this. the result may have been BECAUSE he didnt know, because it meant his sacrifice MEANT SOMETHING

Imagine being sent to heaven. But you have friends or relatives that didn't make it with you. Now that the word is out about exterminations, and sinners can be redeemed. How would you feel knowing there was a chance you could have seen them again, and now they might be gone for good. And it was at the hands of those whose job it is to protect your immortal soul and make sure you're happy in heaven.

I dunno. Sir Pentious didn’t seem like he considered himself destined to Heaven when he wound up there in utter confusion. My guess is that he unknowingly found the path of redemption after he apologized to Charlie, made legit friends out of the hotel staff and confessed his true feelings to Cherry, hereby dropping the thing that kept him anchored to Hell. The only reason that Adam was allowed into Heaven, it seems, is due to his position as the first mortal man. Either Heaven made a special exception of him because of his circumstances, or there’s also the possibility that the opposite with Sir Pentious can happen in Heaven - that a Winner’s soul could wind up becoming corrupt and could become ‘fallen’. Either way, the enigmatic power behind this system is what intrigues me. It seems like it’s conscious of people’s actions since it brought Sir Pentious to Heaven without his knowledge, and yet the angels don’t seem to know the exact rules. Given that God is noticeably absent in the series, I suspect that he is either behind this system or he is the one who put it in place, and in his absence, the angels in charge are unaware of how it operates.

My theory is the word SORRY! I only hear Sir Pentious, Charlie, and the angels say it!

Hm, the theory is interesting, but i don't think Sir Pensios was specifically aiming for redemption. He just found people whose company he enjoyed, a person who he loved and therefore he didn't really have a reason to be evil anymore

Honestly i can see it being based off your mindset when you die. If you live a very sinful life and dont feel youre worthy of or even want to go to heaven they end up in hell. Like the first episode of Helluva boss. The teacher very much couldve gone to heaven had she not given into her wrath, killed her cheating husband then off herself. Had she risen above her rage she wouldve been perfect to ascend and become an angel when she dies naturally. It could explain why Adam is in Heaven despite his episode and personality. He felt he deserved that spot and probably felt him being the first human made him holier than everyone else so he gets into heaven

So it looks to me, that the greatest sin of all is narcissism.

so essentially our "sinful" gift of free will and the weight of that consciousness affects where we go? honestly that's the idea of afterlife I have

Ohh, I like this theory.

9:40 why did you have to just expose me like that 😨

I've mentioned this is similar to Lucifer (the tv show) before.

i always thought the pentagram in the sky was lucifer's house, because otherwise how else would NOBODY know where he is?
