The story of how Husk lost his Overlord power to Alastor in Hazbin Hotel 

No comments and no likes let me fix that

Poor Husk and Angel.😞

Hey man, just wanted to pop in, and say that Husk couldn’t have been one of the overlords Alastor toppled when he first manifested-provided the current wiki is right and Husk passed in the 70s. Alastor would have shown up in ‘33 and gone on his (probably decade long, tbh) spree of just bulldozing Overlords and being able to install speakers and such all over the city and use them as broadcasting places as he does in his song. And he would easily choke out any other station that he didn’t like/didn’t get permission from him to exist. Not to mention, when Vox manifested, he’d have to work _within_ Alastor’s rules before they became proper rivals, because the whole “Vox has antenna on his head” even as a flat screen, means he still can pick up video broadcast that are transmitted via radio waves. Any source of TV that isn’t cable or internet based, is going to be broadcast via radio waves. Alastor, probably by the contracts with the Loa/his New Orleans Voodoo, and it being tied into him being a radio host, manifested with just… so much raw power in being able to control that whole spectrum of light alone. Toss in the voodoo, and the many souls he took himself while alive, and… even if he’s not some mega powerful overlord, his raw ability to access so many things at once (like Vox’s screens, that he’s clearly spying on him to know what Vox said in the beginning of their song to mirror it back to him, and then put himself, not glitching, on Vox’s actual screen in front of the TV demon… yeah) it gives Alastor this unique position of flexibility. I still would love to see, and I don’t think it will ever be canon, since Sinners don’t seem to be broken down into subtypes, but the fact that some of the most powerful and feared Sinners are all what I call “Media Demons” it seems like it… should be a thing. Especially because there is one “Media Demon” type that we’ve not seen, who, if they exist, _should_ have Overlord status: the demon who manifested from the writing/novel/short story/etc world. I was wracking my brain the other day trying to figure out what was missing, and I realized that in the steps of telling stories, we went radio, tv, social media/internet. And just hopped over books. And the movies but… ehhh… that would be divisive since many of the people who might become some sort of movie demon is… splitting hairs due to how weird and corrupt Hollywood can be.

People really thought Alastor genuinely wants to help Charlie when the Vees said he's only helping Charlie to make a deal with her and become strong enough to take on Lucifer himself, so Vox sent Sir Pentious to spy on them to prevent that deal from happening. The Vees only care about stopping Alastor, Velvette was the one that gave Vox that idea. Like how Husk gains souls and becomes more powerful through gambling, Alastor does the same through dealing. Ironic, isn't it?

Where do I watch all the episodes?

It also kind of makes sense though. Especially with his casino vibe He was probably the overload of gambling, ran all the casinos and everything in Hell.

That makes sense and maybe in the future we’ll get confirmation or more lore for more theories

​@@callanightshade8079and lose everything to Alastor 😂

I don't find it sad cause we don't know what past version was like and as we know alastor only goes after another overlord If they are assholes so past him was most likely an asshole

I mean, aside from the whole “gambling for souls” thing.

Now he's a depressed bartender that used to be an overlord???

@@infinty7409 yeah, that’s his new title lol

HOLY SHIT LOIS

SAME😭😭😭😭

I find this to be an interesting lesson regarding *any* bartenders... depressed or otherwise

And if you look more down, you can actually see Niffty

​@@gr0ss3r0wy So Nifty is another overlord who fell to Alastor?

@@tgdm_show I don't think so, Husk sold his soul to Alastor (iirc) so Niffty might of done the same or Alastor did something to get her soul I think that's why he can summon them like he did in the pilot

@@gr0ss3r0wy tbf in a way that would mean that she fell to Alastor. The moment you have sold your soul you are kinda done for. Although I do wonder what her case was...

@@tgdm_show Niffty is so confusing

I very much believe that alastor won against husk

Husk lost his power betting his power to Alastor that’s why he’s with him forever, because Alastor owns his soul

I believe the way that those chips/money stacks are, Husk very much did lose. But I think, with how Alastor got/took Husk’s cards, Husk, in a last ditch effort to win back his physical wealth, or hit a lucky streak, bet his soul and his power. His power/soul was in the custom cards, and Alastor, turning the cards to have him on them, signifies that Husk lost the bet of his power and soul. I don’t think, personally, that Ayylmao is right that Alastor cheated. At least, no more than Husk might have. Alastor is pretty well known for wanting novel, and ‘true’ experiences. And a literal “fiddle of gold against your soul, says I’m better than you” would be _impossible_ for Alastor to resist. Cheating, unless he was at a _serious risk_ of losing, would make the game less fun. Especially because it’s very likely that while human, and frequenting Speakeasies and generally living in New Orleans, was probably a card shark and could count cards and etc. (also lol, I double checked about Speakeasies having gambling and cards, and _word for word_ as it’s talking about how speakeasies introduced dr^gs, it says “many who had never come into contact with these substances, found a new source of ‘entertainment’ in the permissive atmosphere of the speakeasies.” And HMMMMMM why does _that_ sound so familiar? XD)

I definitely believe Al cheated

yes! i believe so too! :D

Wait but any camera that shows Alastor face blows up

The problem is that Al can't be seen on TV.

@@Ruby3P no like he face can’t be shown on any device

Yeah. If you recall on the first episode when Vaggie recorded Alastor, he glitched and told Vaggie that his face is only used for radio.

​@@LydiaNorris-Hazbinbut how can his face be on the radio when radio is audio only?

That fan song really got it right 3-4 years before it was revealed

@@gacha_girlz1835one of the main guys in TLT is sam haft who writes the songs for HH/HB so no shit

Ahhh yes!

I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT!!!!

Fr 💀

Well that's explained his appearance

Yeah, I kinda just paused the video and proceeded to have a geek seizure when he just nonchalantly said: “I was an Overlord once.”

Same

Hi key shocked

ARE YOU READY?

(ARE YOU READY?!)

@@ClaireFrostt1 ARE YA ARE YA READY???

TRANSFORMATION CENTRAL

​@@Caffinated_Nightmare(transformation central)

?

@@blackky_______________9253 I went back to see and YES !! In the pilot ep , He’s behind Alastor in shadow form in veggies story when they are showing ALL the overlords .nice little detail they did there 👌

​@Ajdove813 That's not all if you look on the opposite side of Alastor from Husk at the very bottom of the image . For a split second, you can also see Niffty's outline as well, which could mean she was an Overlord as well.

@@theoldsoul3163 If she was an overlord, i wonder what was she in charge of?, male brothels? would be really funny to see lmao

@@theoldsoul3163 but Alastor managed to defeat Her not that she’s complaining

Well he did gamble with Alastor and Alastor might have cheated to play, but to be fair Husk also cheated the game, so both of them cheated but Alastor cheats better😅😅😅

​@@gambler942we don't know that! Maybe neither cheated and Al is won

@@Conduit_king you're saying those Demons play Fair 🤨🤨🤨

​@@Conduit_kingwell, it's not like it's impossible for them to cheat. Like, in the pilot Husk was cheating

​@imdeadinside7375 We don't know that? The video literally shows Husk playing cards against Alastor.

Truly, cassino style huh

@@matheuswesley7138 it's also awfully convenient how husk never lost over the countless years he has been gambling. So i'm guessing that husk has cheated(only logical bc it is hell) and alastor just out cheated him. But imagine if alastor lost? I can't imagine him being under some1

​@@itsjarcia9151 husker did say in episode 5 "big talk coming from someone also on a leash" Does that mean someone has Alastor's soul?

@@yazzieman3671 I just watched the 2 new episodes.but idk. I saw a theory video suggesting in the 7 year absence that alastor and Lilith took. Maybe they made a deal and it’s why he showed up to the hotel

Alastor actually hates cheating through bets he prefers to cheat in his contracts, leaving out certain details that allow their souls to get devoured after they break the contract

But what if it could be something mooorrreee, maybe a snuggle or two, huskerdust is very cute too

@@Wuffee Husk said in the Pilot he lost the feeling to love, and with Angel's contract with Val where he has to "do certain things" to not get abused, its unlikely they can date ngl

​@@themarboi7276finally someone who pointed that

​@@themarboi7276I don't mind they are not dating or anything. The two dynamic is wholesome enough

Yeah I see it as a wholesome friendship for now. Unless something BIG happens between the 2 in the next season, I don't really ship it. It's nice that Angel has a male friend who he can trust, as before all he had was Cherri and any guy he met he'd try to seduce. So for Husk to blatantly tell him to cut the temptress act out and just be real with him was nice and refreshing because he cared more about Angel being true to himself than lying to others to appear as this sex icon.

I'm pretty sure nifty is a different case

I found episode 1 on RU-vid!

@@darlingserenitysnow9474 yeah i seen that one was amazing hope you enjoy it ⭐️😅😭

Google it. You'll find them episodes.

There is a one week free trial on prime. when all the episodes are out you can use the free trial to binge season 1.

Oh! You may be able to get a free trial membership that you get to cancel before the free trial runs out without having to pay anything, only the first 4 episodes are out at the moment, but that's still quite a few :3

He was???? Lemme go rewatch it... Edit: OH SHIT HE IS!! Maybe Val is the one who made Angel wear the tighter gloves and suit to appear more doll-like to clients...?

@@mutantsandmemes it was a good reference to the pilot I have to give credit for that

He’s got a powerful reputation in hell as the radio demon overlord. He’s got so many unpredictable skills.

Your honor, my client didn't cheat, he's just him

Alastor is a sucker for entertainment. He'll do things by the books because cheating removes the risk and fun.

In part of the clip, you can see Alastor's shadow or whatever it is behind Husk, I don't think it'd be behind him where the shadow could see Husk's cards for the sake of it. Also if you ask me Alastor is definitely the type of guy to cheat to get his way

He has them in the 100 thousand’s already

You were right he does collecting overlords' soul!

In what sense? Bc Val is still an overlord

​@@someonerandom5210in the, val loses his overlord powers

maybe they'll kill val together impressing alastor enough to give husk his overlord title back

Maybe but overlord or not I’ll still like Husk

He can retract them since he usually doesn’t have all three pairs out at once the 3rd pair probably get in the way of his day to day life so he keeps them in most of the time the same could easily be true of all of them

I did or at least suspected he was which made sense 😂

Hope so😢

I swear to satan IF she was an overlord that would be the funniest shit

Well, we see Husk’s shadow behind Alastor in the pilot episode when they showcase the overlords, and I think Nifty is also behind Alastor as well. Which could very well mean she was.

@@somerandomartisthere just a reminder, after this conversation a video was posted that was somewhere along the lines of the same discussion we had.

Oh yeah no, Nifty would be the best overlord.

In 'Loser Baby' Husk has this line. "I sold my soul to save my power." To me, this indicates the second option you explained. My theory is that the more souls you own, the more powerful you are. When Husk started losing serious souls, he started losing his physical power, and when he says he made his deal with Alastor, i believe it wasnt a game at all and was actually a consensual agreement, Alastor owns his soul and Husk keeps whatever power he still had when he made the deal.

Also in one of the episodes, Husk explains that no one needs to know what Niffty’s deal is. Idk that might be reaching, but it could also be an indicator maybe..? 😅

honestly, husk curses alastor without much fear, and alastor don't react violently at it, just play with him and his situation, but no violence, so yeah alastor do seems like to treat husk better, than val with angel.

Husk is just annoyed with Alastor Angel Is terrified by valentino

I love Alastor but I low key hated him during the scene he was being mean to husk.

I’m pretty sure Angel can pull out/hide arms.

@@ellyzesavagebanana ooo ok I didn’t know thx :D

Wdym spoilers, it's officially out on amazon prime

my good friend i do NOT have amazon prime. @@just_call_me_leo

What was she the overlord of tho 💀💀💀 CLEANING

​@@Kilo-Kilo-this made me laugh 😂

yes@@Kilo-Kilo-

Pest control probably​@@Kilo-Kilo-

I think this is so, because with others who have sold their souls, Alastor turns them into black and white spirits, and during battles he infuses their souls into voodoo dolls.

If you look back at the pilot episode when they are showing all of the overlords, behind Alastor you might see husker behind him as a shadow. Which pretty much was a foreshadowing about husk a long time ago.😅

you can also see niffty as well

@@gabbyslvr you can? I didn't notice that
