Study Notes
Hasbin Hotel and Helluva Boss Lore
- Hasbin Hotel and Helluva Boss are two shows set in the same universe but with different focuses.
- Hasbin Hotel features Sinners, who are humans who died and manifested as demons in Hell, and Angels, both celestial beings and former humans.
- Helluva Boss features the native species of Hell, like imps, hellhounds, and succubi.
- Hell is divided into seven rings, each associated with one of the seven deadly sins. The Pride ring, ruled by Lucifer, is where Sinners are restricted. The other six rings are home to the native species and are off-limits to Sinners.
Heaven and Hell
- Heaven was established before Hell.
- Hell was created when Lucifer gave humans free will, opening the door to evil and creating a place for souls to manifest as demons.
- Angels worship good and shield existence from evil.
- Angels in Hasbin Hotel are often based on biblical descriptions, including Seraphim, who are fiery beings, and Cherubim, who are depicted as cute baby animals.
- Lucifer is often seen as a Sera, a high-ranking angel.
Mythology and Genesis
- Genesis in the Bible describes two creation stories: the six days of creation and the Garden of Eden.
- The show diverges from the biblical narrative, particularly in its portrayal of Adam's first wife, Lilith, and the creation of free will.
- Lilith, a demon in ancient mythology, is presented as Adam's first wife in the show. She flees the Garden of Eden after rejecting Adam's dominance, leading to Lucifer giving Eve free will to challenge societal expectations.
Fallen Angels
- Lucifer's name comes from the Latin word "Lucifer", meaning lightbringer. It translates to "Halel Ben Shahar" in Hebrew, referencing Venus.
- Lucifer is often associated with the Morning Star, a symbol of his rebellion against God.
- Satan, another important character in the show, is also referred to as Hassatan in Hebrew, a term that translates to the adversary.
- Hassatan represented a Son of God who challenged God's judgment, ultimately becoming a symbol of the devil.
- The fallen angels in Hasbin Hotel are inspired by the Book of Enoch, where they are known as the Watchers or Sons of God, who descended to Earth and had children with humans, creating the Nephilim.
The Seven Sins
- The seven sins in the show are based on the seven deadly sins.
- Their origins are tied to the demonology of Peter Binsfield, a 16th-century theologian who claimed demons gave him a list of the royal hierarchy of Hell.
- The seven sins are: Lucifer (Pride), Satan (Wrath), Beelzebub (Gluttony), Mammon (Greed), Asmodeus (Lust), Leviathan (Envy), and Belore (Sloth).
- Each of these sins is associated with a specific ring and a unique species.
The Ars Goetia
- The Ars Goetia is a 17th-century demonology that lists 72 demons, including kings, dukes, and princes.
- Asmodeus is also one of the kings of the Ars Goetia.
- Stolas, a prince in the show, descended from Pimon, another king of the Ars Goetia.
- The Ars Goetia plays a significant role in how the demons interact with Earth.
Other Important Aspects
- Lucifer's actions created Hell, creating a world similar to Earth but with its own dark and twisted versions of life forms.
- The show explores the concept of redemption, with the possibility of Sinners manifesting in Heaven after death.
- The different power structures within Hell are complex, with Sinners, overlords, Ars Goetia demons, and the seven sins forming separate hierarchies.
- While many characters' origins are linked to biblical or mythological figures, some remain ambiguous, leaving interpretations open to speculation.
- The show explores the themes of free will, sin, redemption, and the ongoing struggle between good and evil.
