What Ghost Fuckers shows us about Blitzø, his face scar and eye trauma, and his deepest fears.
As we already know, Blitzø's scars come from the same accident that maimed Fizz, killed Blitzø's mom, and burned Blitzø's life as he knew it to ashes. We also know Blitzø blames himself for the accident, because he inadvertently caused it by pushing aside the imp carrying Fizz's cake.
In Oops, we also saw Blitzø's eye got badly hurt during the accident.
And, even though it seems to have fully recovered given his precision with a gun, it is still permanently and completely surrounded by scar tissue.
It's his most visible scarâthe only one he cannot cover up with his daily attire. It represents his vulnerability and broadcasts it to the world. So much so that, when he's feeling at his most helpless, he shields it from view as a means to protect himself.
Eyes are typically represented in fiction as windows to the soul, so one's eye being hurt or scarred can be a representation of how broken, hurt, or tainted they are/feel inside; an unclosable window that displays their deepest trauma for everyone to see.
We also know Blitzø privately crosses out his face in pictures with his loved ones, and we've seen across multiple episodes that the side of his face that is highlighted in each scene can relate to his emotional state. His scarred side is in full view in moments when he's losing control of his emotional state and unable to hide his vulnerability, whereas his unscarred side will be in view when he's trying to avoid/hide his insecurities and pretend everything is fine. On key moments when he's being honest with himself and others about his emotions, his front side will show, a representation of him acknowledging both sides and approaching a balance between them.
In Ghost Fuckers, eye trauma is also used to represent Blitzø's emotional turmoil, except the eye trauma is no longer his ownâit is very blatantly extended to others.
In his Millie hallucination, every single Millie except for the one with the broken arm has got something wrong with one or both of her eyes. Each of them is the realization of Millie being hurt because Blitzø put her in harm's way: the bottle shards from Murder Family, the fire in Loo Loo Land, the giant fish from Spring Broken, the angelic arrow in CHERUBS, and the final Millie, which seems to match the hotel bellboy, implying Rolando has hurt or affected her in some way.
(Notice how Blitzø's scarred side is showing again in this moment).
All these Millies have been ruined in the same way Blitzø is ruined, and they've been ruined because of Blitzø. Because he needed her. Because he put her in harm's way. Because he cared about her enough to selfishly keep her in his life.
All of these Millies have ended up "like him": permanently marked as broken.
This is what his love does, in his eyes (pun not intended). It damages people beyond repair. It is a contagious and unstoppable force that will inevitably destroy anything and anyone itâheâtouches.
Just like it did his mother.
She, too, loses an eye in his hallucination. An eye that falls right in his hand as she burns away, marking him as responsible for her corruption; an eye that looks at him even as she vanishes from his grasp. Almost as if she knows. Knows what he did, knows he's to blame for her death. Knows that if it weren't for him, and his feelings, and his love, she'd still be whole. She'd still be alive.
This masterful visual representation of Blitzø's guilt and fear is perfectly summarised in Millie's line, âwhen was the last time you loved someone without hurting them?â Blitzø truly believes anyone who stays close to him will end up just like him: damaged, and traumatised, and broken, or worseâdead.
And all because he was selfish enough to let himself be loved and cared for by them.

Just a quick observation. Maybe a parallel?
Millie had to support a cross-dressed-up man refuting the reality twice.
Both times she tried so hard to help and play along with . . . perfect investigations or . . . chasing ghosts. Both things phantom, non-existent, not necessary really.
Both times she had her own needs to meet and they've got ignored. Whether it was recognition of her strengths or bills to pay.
And both times she snapped.
Both times it ended well . . . even though this is the place where things are a tad different.
Conclusion? I have no idea. Millie being an embodiment of an eldest daughter syndrome?

SPOILER ALERT OF HELLUVA BOSS S2 E5!!!!!
Fiest off, just wanna say that this episode gave me a little more insight on both Moxxie and Millie's character, especially their relationship
This proves that every relationship, especially when you're married, will have some disagreements and lash out at times. This is their flaws, and they can overcome it together, as how any partner would do đ
AND WE FINALLY MEET BARBIE WIRE AAAHHHH!!!!!!
AND NOT TO MENTION THAT WE GOT OUR FIRST MILLIE SOLO!!!!!!!!! (can't forget about Moxxie hehe)
Last but not least, the end scene just caught me off guard đ
Blitzø still loves his sister (I can see him being the younger twin) â¤ď¸
BONUS:
The trio lookin' like lizards on a sugar rush XD
And me assuming that Blitzø was sneaking into the hospital to visit StolasđŚ
Overall, the episode was amazing đ¤Šâ¨

as much as I could sit here and rant about how much I hate Unhappy Campers, I can't do it without offering how I'd fix it.
Here's how
Rewrite the WHOLE episode. Everything Into the bin.
So instead of blitz looking for Barbie, we are going to push that back because they left such a big plot hole it's more powerful than the black hole in my closet.
Change the tone of the episode. The episode obviously wanted to be more serious but it ended up being more cringe and 'everything is a joke' I wonder who to blame for that..... *Looks at Viv*
ANYWAH.
Start of the episode starts at the I.M.P hq, random client being like 'hey kill this fucker' and blitz sending M and M off to go do it. They will not be seen until the end of the episode.
Because Stolas is royalty and , blitz can't go check on him (and he can't because he isn't family.)
So blitz attempts to break into the hospital, only to find out Stolas has already checked out because he healed very well. Blitz goes to go find the sucker in his castle thingy in wrath, running into Stella on the way there. Que angry awkwardness, and Stella threatening blitz's life if he tried to ever step in that place again.
Blitz decides to try and sneak into Stolas' bedroom from below his balcony, only to fail, alerting Stolas from within.
We get a scene from Rapunzel before Stolas helps Blitz up.
Que emotional moment of Blitz showing real vulnerability and worry about Stolas getting hurt. No jokes in this scene in any way, yes this is important because that's what ruins a lot of emotional scenes in Helluva Boss.
Stolas seems like he has something to say to blitz as blitz prepares to leave, but holds his tongue, scared to ruin whatever they have left of their broken relationship. Blitz, a little out of the blue, apologizes to blitz, probably for Ozzie's. Stolas will remember that lol.
Blitz goes back to IMP headquarters where Moxxie and Millie successfully did the mission. They also tell him that there was another demon who tried to stop them from killing the target, saying the imp looked similar to blitz, even with the same symbol on the forehead. Barbie.
And then it cuts to the outro.
YOUR WELCOME
I might draw this lol.
Call this episode 'painfully vulnerable'

I watched Sarcastic Chorusâs video on if âUnhappy Campersâ fixed Millie or not, and I really liked it, because it actually brought up the giant elephant in the room that the fandom wonât acknowledge. While this episode certainly does have Millie in it and we actually get to see her vulnerable about herself for once, she still was attached to Moxxie, and at the end of the day, he was the one who got more focus, with the episodes plot being more about him and his journey.
It was Moxxie who was put in charge of the investigation and planned for him and Millie to dress up as brother and sister to eliminate suspects. It was Moxxie who wanted to show his worth to Blitz in that he could handle a job. It was Moxxie who tried to bond with the kids but ended up being made fun of and making him insecure. It was Moxxie who ended up getting jealous at Millie for all the fame but couldnât snag the attention no matter how he tried, and also couldnât find the suspect. It was Moxxie who ended up snapping at her, but needed to realize in the end that he was a being a dick. It was Moxxie who had the character focus and growth to change his actions at the end of the episode.
â-
Millie for the most part, did what she always did, stood by at Moxxieâs side and supported him. She may have finally got a song, but most of it was fluff and just animation eye candy, showing off her skills, something the audience already knew she was good at. I donât think fans realize this, but the argument scene she has with Moxxie is legit the ONLY scene in the entire episode where sheâs in the spotlight that actually has to do with her character, because the rest was focused on Moxxie at the front. Not that thereâs something entirely wrong with that, but it is the bare minimum, especially since what fans want is her to be purely the focus and not just trotting along with another character.
Her feeling happy for once that others arenât screaming in agony at her is one thing, it could actually make sense and I wouldnât find it hard to believe, however as everyone else keeps saying, her randomly spewing about how she finally feels like sheâs important and âsomething to be proud ofâ makes no sense within the narrative, because Millie has always been a strong killing machine, painted as a really good assassin with her family, Blitz, AND Moxxie praising her. She legit has no reason to feel like she isnât important or something to not be proud of, because sheâs always been portrayed as really strong, saving Moxxie millions of times and helping the IMP gang out. And for all the audience has seen and knows, sheâs very happy go lucky and loves her job, her co workers, and her family, so this small bit of character exploration feels half assed, unearned, and not thought through.
__
Finally, the most funny thing about this episode is that Moxxie needs to learn to let Millie shine since she always supports him, and yet the writers struggle with that themselves. Even when Millie finally does have her âbig momentâ that she was talking about, itâs just an anime montage of her doing stunts and playing the guitar, while the ACTUAL plot of Moxxie trying to kill the target and fighting Barbie is going on at the front, and even ends with the target dying before cutting back to hell later. Millie doesnât even get any lines, how nice would it have been to see moreâŚlike what if she felt bad for her fans since sheâs never coming back, or what if she looks through the pictures of her phone of the camp friends she made and wishes she still had that? Feeling sentimental? For Peteâs sake, youâd think after spewing about how much she feels like she isnât valued, Blitz and Moxxie would confront her in the end and weâd have some heart felt scene of them reassuring her they care and her deciding to be more open. We get none of that, itâs not only wrapped up so quickly, but ends with Moxxie himself, getting the credit from Blitz he wanted, only to end on an unfunny joke of Blitz calling him a disgrace before the credits roll, so we legit close out on Moxxie and Blitz instead of Millie herself.
Putting the bad writing aside, âUnhappy Campersâ definitely didnât fix Millieâs lack of depth and focus, but I would say itâs a small start, wether the writing is dog shit or not, and wether we had to wait this damn long for crumbs or not. At the end of the day, this episode in my opinion opens more of a door to more potential on actually fleshing Millie outâŚ.but I do have my doubts, as not only do we have to wait until season 3 for Millie to get the focus again, but Viv and Adam really do make it clear that they have no idea on how to flesh Millie out without attaching her to Moxxie, since the upcoming ghost demon episode has her trying to off herself because she feels like sheâs holding him back and a bad wife. Iâd say I hope she gets more in the future, but Iâm done believing in Viv and Adam. For Millie to work, I feel like she just needs new writers man, cause these writers clearly donât care for her enough to put the work in and flesh her out and focus on her, bc they suffer from biased favoritism regarding the other characters. Millie will always deserve better and I honestly donât think itâll get better for her from here on out. Someone take the rights for her out of Viv and Adamâs grasp and give her the attention and development she deserves lol.

in fact now that i've had a chance to rewatch and think about the episode more i'm actually losing my mind. we have never, in the entire show, seen blitz actually go OUT OF HIS WAY for ANY relationship. sure, we saw him open up a bit to moxxie in 'truth seekers,' but that was only a bit and only after a severe truth-gas induced hallucination; he has feelings for stolas but even when he does invite him out it's under completely false pretenses - the only relationship we see him put any real effort into is with Loona, and even then, it's not really him going out of his way since Loona is his adopted daughter and is almost always around, and his attempts at fostering a relationship with her are almost exclusively him showering her with affection, rather than any actual attempts at emotional intimacy (not a criticism, just an observation).
but blitz is not only going out of his way to find barbie, he is desperate to make her life better. at the end of 'unhappy campers,' he is insisting that he wants to help her; practically begging her to let him help her. he is breaking into medical centers (apparently, regularly enough that he has a hostile relationship with one specific nurse who recognizes him and already knows what he's there for and what he's trying to do), making calls and threatening people and doing WHATEVER he has to to find her - to not only offer to help her, but just to see her. to have dinner and catch up.
and that is FASCINATING to me, it is making me fucking insane. i've talked about this before but what stands out to me most from the 'truth seekers' hallucination is that blitz thinks he actively makes people worse by being with them. it's heavily implied in the way that verosika is covered in grime and muck that doesn't come off the way it did striker and fizz (i'd argue it's because they both seem to not be dragged down by him, though verosika makes it clear in 'ozzie's' that she was deeply hurt by blitz and still resents him for breaking her heart), and it's also implied within his idolization of stolas - on his beautiful gold and ivory throne, where his presence is enough to turn all of blitz's mud and filth into sparkling light
but barbie doesn't appear in the hallucination. fizz does, and he was from the circus days. striker does, and he and blitz barely have a relationship outside of meta character themes and foils. verosika does, and even though their relationship is implied to have been mutually toxic, she is still very overtly somebody that blitz hurt. he ruined things between them and hurt her.
the only real thread between them is that everyone in that vision, to some extent, is somebody that blitz harbors resentment for. he resents fizz and striker for being everything he isn't or couldn't be - either as a performer or as an assassin - he resents verosika for their relationship, he even to some extent harbors bitterness towards stolas for being so out of touch (and for the fact that blitz has feelings for him at all).
but he doesn't hate barbie. he doesn't even seem to be mad at her at all; the only thing he's upset about is that she didn't try to reach out to him. blitz, who is convinced with his whole chest that he only knows how to hurt people and drag them down, who has burned every bridge to his past for better or worse, spends a whole week going on a one-man rampage to find his twin sister and then asks her to let him help her. i'm going to be fucking sick
#HI. WHY IS THIS SO FUCKING LONG#i have been dying to get canon content of them for fucking ages i WILL take my breadcrumbs and go wild with them#guys he misses his sister so badly he is so desperate just to TALK TO HER#GRAB DINNER AND CATCH UP IM CLAWING AT THE WALLS OF MY ENCLOSURE#god. can you tell tragic siblings are my favorite trope of all time#mine#helluva boss#helluva boss spoilers#helluva boss unhappy campers#helluva boss blitz#helluva boss barbie wire#blitz#barbie wire#e: unhappy campers#long post#analysis

well barbie and blitzoâs interactions killed me just as i expected, but i just want to talk about this:
we can see that barbieâs mad at blitzo for whatever reason, but something about this scene feels off to me. and i think iâve pinpointed why
blitzo is no stranger to people being mad at him, in fact it happens in most episodes. of course some peopleâs feelings mean more to him, such as maybe m+m, stolas or even fizzarolli, but he doesnât shy away from defending himself and speaking his mind to even them. he always has some shit to say, and always sticks up for himself in his own blitzo way
but with barbie he doesnât, he just stares at her with that sad little look of regret on his face. even in this scene:
blitzo recoils away from barbie. doesnât defend himself. doesnât argue with her. just recoils.
blitzo obviously feels shame and regret over whatever has happened between him and barbie, otherwise he wouldâve stuck up for himself. however i also think he views barbie as completely innocent and out of the wrong regarding whatever happened, instead possibly blaming himself, due to one thing:
barbie was never in blitzoâs bad trip. striker, fizz, verosika, moxxie and stolas were, but not barbie. all of these people he views negatively (or has previously viewed somewhat negatively in moxxieâs and stolasâ case) but barbie is no where to be seen. obviously something has happened in the past with her as with the others, but unlike them he canât bring himself to hate her for it
edit: just gonna throw it out there that blitzo recoils when barbie presses their motherâs choker. make of that what you will

I can't be the only one here who thinks there's something that's so wrong about this scene...
P.S. Yeah, there were a lot of problems with how Moxxie was written during this episode. And don't even get me started on the scene where he snaps at Millie (out of petty jealousy might I also add).
P.P.S. I'm sorry, but the issues that are appearing in this season are getting very difficult to ignore.
