Not only did Blitz probably not see Fizz but he probably couldn’t call out to Blitz because his vocal cords were damaged which is why I think he knows sign language

my mind initially didn't put a mental comma between 'boss' and 'therapist' and read it as if you were a therapist specifically for helluvaboss

I love that, seeing how freaked out Fizz was, Blitz held off on shooting the stalker since it would likely only scare him more … Despite many of us wanting him to take the shot at that moment

I just realized, when Fizz is breaking down you see him look into the mirror of his Mammon’s teeth, the jaws of the monster he fears yet has to impress for him to feel worthy. Then when he opens Ozzie’s mirror, he sees himself reflected in the heart of the man he loves and the worth that he has to Ozzie, which (maybe) makes him feel better knowing that he’s worthy to someone he holds so dear ❤

in case you don't get what Blitz meant by the line "you have no idea what I lost in that fire", he lost his mother in that fire. his sister, Barbie, Wire, appeared in the episode before that one. she's incredibly mad at Blitz for the fire just like Fizzarolli. but unlike with him, she didn't forgive him. also Blitz's father, Cash Buckzo (yes that's actually his name), was the reason they hadn't seen each other for 15 years. he deliberately kept them separated until Fizz believed that Blitz caused the fire on purpose

Fizz's VA, Alex Brightman, said he related to him the most out of all of his characters. It's really great when characters are relatable like this.

First, that cosplay is adorable, especially the hat. Second, the fact that Fizz learned sign language and is able to talk to that child is so sweet. You know it means everything to him.

I sing Two minutes notice everytime i think about my ex-boss.

I'm surprised that you didn't mention Blitz's role in Fizzarolli's quitting on Mammon. Sure, everything Blitz said to Fizz fell on deaf ears but if someone like Blitz could see the scumbag Mammon really is, then that should be worth mentioning. It shows that their reconciliation was not just a one-episode thing, it shows continuity. I like that Blitz was there to try to show Fizz that it was time to move on from Mammon.

Oh boy. Fizzarolli. This is a big one.

Fizzarolli means so much to me as a disabled person myself. It’s not easy to accept that sometimes you simply can’t do what you used to do, and to accept the limitations of your body is a hard lesson to learn. I think Fizz’s need to be perfect is further exacerbated by his disability, because he views it as something he has to get over or compensate for instead of accommodating it. Asmodeus’ constant support for and reassurance of him is so comforting and it’s something that’s so needed when you’re a disabled person, for your partner to say “yeah, you’re disabled, and I love you, not in spite of your scars but scars included because they’re a part of you.” I haven’t felt so seen by a character in a long time.

Fizzarolli's breakdown in the dressing room made me cry the 1st time I saw it because it was so real. I felt so bad for him.

Fizz's heart of gold might've been tarnished and broken by the trauma he's endured, but we see it shine through in brilliant little ways. His kind smile to the ASL impling, how quickly he started using Blitzø's modified name, the amount of trauma he's willing to put himself through to prove himself worthy of the person he cares most about... at his core, he's still the same caring, accommodating soul he used to be.

Fizz and Ozzie have quite possibly the healthiest relationship I have seen in media for a very long time. On another note, does anyone else find it funny that we have been introduced to four of the seven deadly sins and three of them are actually quite chill and likable people?

As a perfectionist, disabled ex-circus performer, whoooo boy I relate so hard to fizzy

I wonder if Fizz had parents at all or if he was an orphan taken in by the circus and by extension Blitz’s dad, not having a real parental figure would explain where his need to overachieve for adult validation stemmed from. His reaction to Mammon’s speech about being ‘like the father’ of the winning performer seemed to be something that really inspired him, as if having a parent was something he had dreamed about, as opposed to Blitz, someone with an abusive parent, who was weirded out by it. Based on the few childhood scenes we’ve seen the dynamic between Blitz and Fizz imposed by Blitz’s dad is similar to the golden child and scapegoat interplay seen between children of a narcissistic parent where Blitz, the one who can call out the abuser and stand up for himself is constantly belittled and compared to the other while Fizz, the well behaved, people pleasing hard worker is praised but overworked and as an adult allows himself to fall into the familiar cycle of being exploited.

Fun fact the deaf kids name is Oliver

You summarised why I hate basic positive self talk so much. Thank you for putting it into words and give a working perspective to it

Fizz is our cinnamon roll and he’s had a rough time of it. Him striving for perfection especially after losing all his limbs in the fire, you can tell how much pressure he felt. Love the video and the jester horns are fabulous!

Young fizzaroli is so innocent I love him❤

When you started tackling Fizz’s relationship to his work and his boss, I was reminded of this post I made where I realized Mammon being a jester/clown and the way he’s characterized as the prince of Greed is kinda the perfect metaphor for capitalism, but the part I wanted to bring up is how clowning and circus performance is an inherently cooperative profession. With clowns specifically, it’s iconic to have many clowns working together to pull off gags. But Mammon operates by isolating a single performer in order to make them a cash cow and not have to pay multiple people, maximum profits. And that’s what big companies are doing to artists and writers, and they’re turning to AI to reduce the amount of people they have to pay in the process of making more and more money. And it puts an unfair amount of pressure on the people trapped in this system, we see Fizz stressing over his act and new material, he’s barely holding on by the time the competition happens, and Mammon has already resorted to using Fizz’s likeness to mass produce robots that do similar things to Fizz, more to profit off Fizz in a way out of his control.

The reason why he took the time to talk to the child was because 1. It’s a cute child 2. He saw himself in the boy 3. He’s disabled like that kid and knows the pain 4. If he doesn’t celebrate his disabled young audience, the only ones that will are gonna take advantage over them I love Fizz 💚

Fizz is a good subversion of expectations. Until episodes 15 and 16 we've mainly seen him through Blitz's eyes and in a setting where he had to play a role. So we expected him to be a mean p.o.s.. Instead, he is just as insecure as many of us and he hates disappointing the people he cares about, aka his friends and fans. One thing that was shocking to learn, is that scars on Imps turn white. So FIzz's white face and his clown nose aren't just makeup.

22:01 Fizz's voice is a lot more raspy compared to his younger self, implying that the explosion severely damaged his vocal cords, so him knowing sign language is a really sweet detail, especially viewed through the lens that the little boy's hero also had a huge challenge in his life.

Fizz's body language is so well animated. They did an amazing job on him. Look at how he always wrap his tail around himself to self soothe and how that is constant with him as a teen and as an adult.

0:23 Omg Fizzarolli is getting a full trilogy of therapist analysis movies for himself

IM SO GLAD I JUST CHECKED MY SUBSCRIPTIONS TAB

Fizz has definitely been through it, but he managed to not just overcome it, but make a good name for himself in the process. Even though we haven’t seen too much of him, he’s my favorite side character. (Not to mention, ‘Two Minutes Notice’ is arguably one of the best songs in the show). Your take on his appearance looks very nice 💚

I remember the first time we met Fizz, I didn't like him because of initial portrayal. Later, when we got more of him, he is one of my absolute favorite cinnamon babies!

The horns are great! And Fizz is a perfect example of someone who is fragile but still resilient, he's overcome so much and continues to grow.

Fizz is my fav and really love him and Ozzie relationship.

The Mirror part is interesting because the big one represent Mammon so of course he can't calm down, but when he looked in the small mirror from Oz he kinda calmed down for a moment that prooves how powerful love is

The thing I like about helluva boss is that they write the characters in a way where you have one perception of them being less favorable or an antagonist, and when they flesh the character out you see the bigger picture and it totally changes the perception you have of them. Like the first couple times you see Fizz you think he's is this jerkish antagonist and a bad guy, but after you see his back story you see he is not a bad guy at all, he went through something painful, traumatic, and scarring both physically and mentally and to be told not only your best friend caused it, he never tried to see you at the hospital that had to carry a lot of pain that turned into resentment and hurt and anger and he was right in his feelings cause he felt abandoned and was led to believe his best friend tried sabotaging him. And they only made up albeit it's very slow when fizz realized it was an accident and he was lied to about blitz not coming and blitz was lied to about fizz not wanting to see him. There's so much depth to the characters in helluva boss and hazbin and I think that's why both are very popular.

Yay Fizz!! My favorite character! One thing of Blitzø’s memory of that day that’s easy to miss is that it looks like he’s trying to get help or find Fizz, but then he sees the other tent and you can see him mouth “Mom” before he runs off. 😭 And I don’t know if it was intentional, but when they’re first put in the cage Blitzø’s needling ends up distracting Fizz from his panic. And then even with how on the outs they are at that point, Fizz was probably the first person he’d actually opened up to about his feelings over Stolas.

This title is just undoubtedly correct. Fizz is the best boi.

Perfection is a Poison we all want. (Perfection is end of a story it not the story we want be perfect but once we get it then what now you perfect there nothing go from there.)

I just realized the deaf child's horns are also broken so I guess that's how they hear

the horns comment at the start is especially interesting to me. not just because its a typical size joke, but because its fizz calling into attention that his horns *were* bigger. so referencing his loss of them and of course *how* he lost them. could be an attempt at guilt tripping, but what i think is more likely is fizz wanting to show blitz that he has healed and grown past the incident and can easily reference what he lost and therefore doesnt care about him anymore. obviously debatable if thats true, but overall a very interesting double meaning there

I actually cried when Fizzarolli signed. It just really touched my heart

Just between the last few episodes of season 2, Fizz became like my literal favorite character so far in the series

Dang you’ve been giving me the tinges of acknowledgment lately, as a former victim of self hatred and trauma, a chord gets struck in my chest when you talk sometimes about those topics, It’s quite therapeutic for me. So thank you Georgia.

Title is incredibly correct, Fizzarolli is, indeed, perfect

at 9:00 another thought about how Fizz is reacting to being tied up is he lost all of his limbs, losing his ability to move freely might be something that causes him to relive those moments in his life after the explosion when he was crippled and bed bound. Again at 16:55 most likely Fizz shuts down like that because his limbs failed. He most likely is reliving or experiencing that complete helplessness he felt back then. Fizz was trying to escape till his limbs failed then he shut down.

Something I noticed, when Fizz comments that his horns were always bigger than Blitz's, while we don't hear it otherwise commented on, if we compare Blitz to his father, who had the biggest horns I think we've seen on any imp thusfar, that probably stings- which is what Fizz was going for there at the time. Aiming at insecurities with a simple comment- Blitz was never the best at circus clowning, or balloon animals, or anything much in that whole way of life the way Fizz or his father presumably was. Fizz didn't even have to elaborate to invoke all those insecurities in Blitz, which is really impressive. Maybe I overthought that a bit but man that's gotta sting! Never good enough at the circus, or clowning, and your father treats your friend better- like the son he wishes he had- who also has even bigger horns on top of it- Yea that's gotta suck!

I still blame the imp carrying the cake for the disaster. The candles were lit with hellfire which burns much differently. Should've used an old fashioned match or lighter.

Fizz & Ozzy 💯 relationship goals

You are my idol, and you are the reason I want to become a therapist

he became my favorite character so fast I got whiplash

28:43- I think in this moment he was holding the ozzie gift. The thoughts around someone who love him helped him come down

Yes, Fizz! The main character I wanted you to analyze from Helluva Boss. ❤

Fizz is amazing, i didn't like him on the 1st season but these 2 last episodes changed everything and now he's my favorite, i think a lot of us can relate on some parts of his personality aaaand i am SO excited for his video with Ozz, every moment of them makes me so happy 🥺💛💙

I relate so hard to Fizz because even though I’ve gotten better in some areas like needing to be perfect, I still struggle with self worth and tying my value to my work/what I create, and then it’s just so hard to not feel useless if I’m not doing something.😢😢😢 Something that’s a really sweet detail is that it’s stated that Fizz has a thing for mirrors, so with the Oz mirror calming him down, it’s likely a gift from Ozzie that shows how observant and thoughtful Ozzie is to get him something he cares about; it also was nice symbolism because it shows that Fizz is Ozzie’s heart.🥰🩷🩷🩷 I love Fizz and Ozzie’s relationship so much and I can’t wait to see the video on them (as well as any other future videos 😉).😊❤️❤️❤️

“But I have to be perfect!” That right there. Oh man.

Tbh on first viewing of helluva boss I wasn’t that into fizz’s character but hearing Georgia’s analysis of these characters makes me appreciate them more.

When you make the separate Blitz video, I hope you, even just briefly, mention the card given to Fizz by Blitz’s father which states that he wished he (Fizz) was his son. The one that Blitz saw (and I believe is why he was glaring).

I've only just noticed watching your video, but the albino queevie has a wheelchair! that's so awesome!

When you and your therapist talks about the panic response and breathing

I know i requested Fizz from when it wasn't a garuntee that HB would get covered, but i didn't think Inmissed so many little details or get called out hahah I felt gutted with his confession to Ozzie because i know that fear of losing everything when you arent (or cant do) the things you achieved. Then to hear it's a strong possibility it's because i misplaced my worth & identity? Damn. Thank you. Im always growing. In little ways, and i appreciate that you decided to give HelluvaBoss a chance & its time to shine, for all of us who love it or might feel its more accurate of living through something than HazbinHotel

22:40 the little boy has a broken horn, just like Fizzy.

I would love to see another video just about Fizz and Asmodious-definitely would watch it all the way through in a single sitting like I do for all of your videos

The person who made these two shows really nailed personalty types. I wonder if they did any research for each character to see how specific personalities react. These two shows have also allowed you a ton of cosplay opportunities, ha. Lots if interesting designs.

Mammon is similar to Valentino in that they are both abusive and exploit their workers. So, it makes sense why he tries to control Fizz his biggest gainer. But what confuses me about Val is how he's fixated on Angel Dust. Val often acts like a jealous boyfriend. During extermination day, Val didn't show a bit of concern for Angel. So, does Val want to have power over Angel so badly?

Fizz is such a deeply relatable character. So is Blitz as well. I love them both so much.

18:38 I was hoping that moment would be included 🤣 I like to think of it as a joke, it was funny.

Lol, it took the whole video to realize that Georgia had her hair in the back, I thought it was stuffed into her horns.

I just woke up, and saw this, I IMMEDIATELY CLICKED IT XDD, I love Fizz, he went through so much, but his personality is still so energetic and positive if you compared it to other characters!! 🥺🥺❤️

Hope we get a striker video soon

The way I look forward to Georgia’s character inspired fits for each vid almost as much as the analysis itself

The little boy isn't just deaf, he has broken horns like Fizz. Why am I crying through this whole video more than when I watched these eps?

Fizz is sweet and you're right that him and Ozzie have a wonderful relationship.

I was hoping you would do fizzaroli. he is chaos incarnate, and i think there is something to that. he became chaos incarnate because he felt broken. he overachieves in his career and in the boudoir because he doesn't think he can be loved. after all asmodeus is the embodiment of lust and doesn't believe in love. and mammon convinced him he's only a famous clown because he's "marketing" him. that's what i got from the scene with the deaf kid. the audience loved him, not mammon telling them who to like

He's amazing I wish he was in the series more

I can just imagine you being the actual therapist for these characters

I had this feeling that you looked like somebody I knew, but I couldn't quite place it and it just occurred to me, it isn't somebody I know, it's Jesse from the videogame Control.

Fizz is very relatable imo

There's a moment between Blitz and Fizz that I really love. It's super subtle and you can miss it if you blink. I think it was maybe my 5th time watching the episode when I caught it but it was SO revealing to how Blitz actually feels about Fizz. Despite all the trash talking and posturing about not giving a crap about him, when they're locked in the cage together and Stryker grabs Fizz's throat and threatens him from outside the cage, Blitz suddenly has murder in his eyes. You'd think that someone you dislike and have animosity towards getting threatened would lead you to have a look of smug satisfaction on tour face. But it's the exact opposite for Blitz in that moment.

I've been off work on WCB for almost two months now. Medical professionals have said I can return to work but my employer is demanding more tests and paperwork. I'm losing my mind sitting around at home. Not having a purpose every day really weighs on me. Thank you for this episode and letting me know I am where I need to be at the moment.

When Blitz was telling Mammon off I never noticed that Fizz shook a couple of times

I've been waiting so patiently for you to talk about Fizz! I love him so much, and I can really empathize with him. Thank you for doing his character justice!!

Do you plan to cover Loona? Or at least her relationship with Blitzo.

Fizzy he my favorite character

30:31 This simple line just warmed my heart and brought my mind to peace. I didn't know how much I needed to hear this. Thank you ❤

This is actually a head cannon of mine that the broken horns represent disability, when it’s both horns it’s physically and I kinda designed my impsona with one broken horn for me being on the autism spectrum and representing mental disability

The 15:20 AH HA Moment Fizz and Blitzø have is PERFECTION

I just hope that deaf kid isn't too traumatized by his idol suddenly quitting and will still look up to Fizzarolli and still try to pursue his dream.🤡💖

This is the first time I've noticed Blitzø probably wasn't even mad at Fizz when he accidentally set the fire. Blitzø saw his dad hand Fizz a card that says "I wish you were my son". He was mad at his dad. 😭

22:00 - also, if you pay attention, the kid's horns are broken - just like Fizz's are. So that kid probably hits closer to home than most of his usual audience. I don't doubt Fizz LOVES the people that are there because they genuinely admire him as a performer/actor, etc, but the kid can't talk (verbally), has broken horns - it's so similar to HIMSELF that it probably hits him twice as hard.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head with how blitz uses sex to deflect from serious or emotional situations from watching the stoliz duet that was played at a con or something and them put to youtube (unofficially). Im not gonna say what was in it but hopefully it should come out later today ot tomorrow.

The thing I find interesting about Fizz is the apparent disconnect between how he acts when he's performing VS when he isn't. When we see him at Ozzie's, and during his musical number in s2e6, and during that final performance-- he projects an attitude that is a lot more cocky, confident, snarky, and even aggressive. At first I kinda thought it was a contradiction of his character, but after a few viewings and considering it, I think it makes a lot of sense that he would still have those aspects to his character, and that they would manifest when he is performing and comfortable and in his element. I like that side of him too I think it's pretty cool haha.

The tears of a clown

Yay, more helluva boss!

I LOVE FIZZ SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR COVERING HIS CHARACTER 🥺🥺💙💜

Never been this early to one of your videos can’t wait to watch it I know I’ll love your analysis. ❤

By the way if you haven’t noticed fizz will wrap his tail around himself when he upset or anxious or scared

When you do Blitz0 and Stolas make sure you watch "Look my way" as well. It adds to their relationship SO MUCH

Okay, Loona's GOT to be next. lol

I can’t stop looking at your wig, it’s amazing!!!!!!

When you do Ozzy x Fizz, pay attention to the end of s2 ep6 They way Ozzy says what he says, and remembering he's the High Sin of Lust, that they LIVE in HELL, gave me a bit of a shiver. Is their relationship actually healthy? Considering Fizz's trauma, someone protective and possessive might be a good thing, for a time. As those emotional wounds heal and Fizz starts exercising more freedom, how will Ozzy react? Fizzarolli: Well, don't worry, today I learned that I hate going outside! [They get on the elevator.] Asmodeus: You won't have to *again*. (Fun fact, when Imps are burned by Hellfire, the resulting scars are flat white. Outside of prosthetics, Fizz doesn't wear as much makeup as you think, just enough to make everything match a bit better)

How about Lackadaisy? Including the character-building shorts!
