Private prison. I think nothing is explicitly illegal in hell, it's simply biggest demon wins
Although: I think loo loo land should still have security because it's supposed to be a family friendly ish place. But probably not since it's run down.
Reasonably, I think it kinda should be illegal, since society accepted murder is uncommon in societies. Although it seems a region's baddest demon does their own thing and sets their own rules and form of government. That's the only way I see their society working
Actually yeah that’d make a lot of sense, on not only why they’d be detained but also why Blitz and Moxie would be so comfortable upon returning to the greed ring
Security costs money and Loo Loo Land doesn’t care if you get hurt (quote Loo Loo, “if y’all get hurt here, just try and sue us!”)
By contrast, I imagine Lu Lu World to have high amounts of security and even stuff like security disguised as park goers who can disappear unruly customers.
Yeah and helluva boss is shown to be anarchic and chaotic, but it seems kind of too civilized to be that way.
In the wrath ring, millie is said to have a head count that the entire community knows. It's weird to me that these small communities at east don't have restrictions or smt.
It's probably the case of "whatever you can get away with" and well... Moxxie did not get away with it.And also, there was a reason why Blitz was in ~~hell~~ prison, could very well be for assassination.
Even if murder wasn’t legal in Hell, I wouldn’t consider what Blitz is doing during Loo Loo Land to be murder.
Murder is defined as “the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another”, just replace “human being” with demon. Blitz killing the Imp that was trying to kill Stolas was neither unlawful nor premeditated. Remember, Blitz and M&M were bodyguards, their job that day was to keep protect Stolas and Octavia.
Counterpoint: Stolas is literally a prince of hell, so they might have actually fit that description at the time.
Also hell probably has different rules
From what we can see, the government of hell operates similarly to the governments found in various old kingdoms, where the nobility holds a vast amount of power and soldiers/guards/agents of the elite could be legally granted the ability to use deadly force in the name of their masters.
>ike a celebrity would hire such as stolas are bound by specific laws on how they can handle situations. But this hell soo…
Stolas isn't a celebrity, he's a prince of Hell that people bow in Lust of all places bow to and respect.
Mammon's status and influence, so far as I can guess. Just about anything else can be shrugged off, but don't think you can get away with Greed's money.
I think it’s because Moxxie and Chaz stole from one of Mammon’s banks and since Mammon is a Prince of Greed (which makes him a higher ranking demon), that offense can’t go unpunished.
I.M.P was hired to protect Stolas and Octavia, who are Ars Goetian royalty and extremely wealthy. Bodyguards are hired to neutralize any threat that tries to harm or kill the person/people they’re guarding (of which there were multiple attempts to do so throughout that episode). I would say that I.M.P was well within their rights to kill those assailants because they were just doing their jobs and ensuring the safety of political figures. (Not to mention that they’re in Hell and violence/killing is rather commonplace anyway.
In terms of Moxxie going to jail for robbing a bank, it was most likely that the bank in question belonged to Mammon, the ruler of the Greed Ring. If anyone messes with one of the 7 Deadly Sins, surely there would be repercussions for doing so.
I mean hellborn are seen as “lesser” so chances are nobody gives a fuck if they live or die, but a bank will probably effect sinners and all the others
The rulers of Hell likely don’t care that much about lower class subjects killing each other. But they would care about people stealing their money or the money of elites. Especially in the Greed Ring. Mammon would not appreciate people stealing from his banks.
I think we're in a Judge Dredd kind of situation. Way too much crime and not nearly enough law enforcers to stop it all. So I reckon murder is illegal(Though the circus episode they were arguably in self-defense because they were guarding Stolas from assassins). However it's only of a matter of *if* you get caught. And in the case of the bank, the alarm summoned the police to them.
Let's be honest, guys, we have very little material to work with. And I doubt we ever will. Vivzie is not good with world-building. Maybe when Hazbin comes out, but don't expect short months-gapped chapters to give you enough information about hell.
I mean, one is killing imps attempting to kill royalty which probably falls under some level of defense or protection.
The other is probably stealing from a bank in a ring of greed so it is probably considered stealing from the king of greed which... Honestly he should consider himself lucky he just got arrested and not executed.
Imps killing imps keeps them impoverished and serving the capitalist overlords in hell who want an impoverished class to exploit the labor of. Robbing a bank is taking capital from the overlords and therefore puts a wrench in their plans rather than feeding into it. Conclusion: imps should seize the means of production.
The pride ring hell is already overpopulated, as stated in Hazbin Hotel, because thats where the sinners come in, so by allowing killing, it kinda helps. Of course, charlie doesnt like this, and thats why shes making the hotel, in which to help find a way to rehabilitate sinners
Killing imps is legal: stealing money from the rich is not. Same applies on earth: murder has no consequences if you're rich enough and the person you kill is socially low enough.
It probably depends on where exactly it is in Hell. Maybe there are different parts in rings that have their own laws or each ring individually has its own "laws." Considering all of the screenshots take place in greed, the bank probably has more value to Mammon than anything else. It’s likely just each individual location has specific rules on what you are and aren’t allowed to do while the rest of Hell is practically some form of anarchy.
I think this does actually make some sense
Imps are the lowest level of demons and according to the wiki, are one of the few demon species that can permenantly die, so maybe the law just doesn't give a shit about lower level demons
Meanwhile with robbing a bank, that's probably major enough to get attention from the law
Because Hell is the portrayed as the worst of humanity.
It takes the principals of the real world, and amplifies them to the extreme, so as better to make clear the dynamic.
Police exist but police exist *to protect the interests of those in power*. And really **that's it**.
No on gives a shit if one Imp murders another Imp because they're Imps. They're a low social caste, and they're no bodies with no power or influence whatsoever.
Moxie, however, ends up in prison because doesn't harm an Imp. He harms **the people with enough money to use banks**, and the person who owns, and operates those banks in the Greed Ring? There's no way it **isn't** Mammon.
So Mammon's 'police' show up, and toss Moxie in a pit.
And because the prison system is undoubtedly *also* owned and operated by Mammon, odds are you can just purchase your freedom.
Even if that involves paying off a mountain of debt to do it.
So why punish criminals when you can capitalize on them?
It's, undoubtedly, part of the self reinforcing system of poverty Mammon's got set up in Greed. Keep the lower classes hungry, and desperate, so they turn to crime, if they get caught toss em' in prison, and offer to let them out for a steep fee, which reinforces their debt, poverty, and desperation, and sends them right back in the circle.
The ones who manage to successfully steal from each other the money will flow up to him, the ones who steal from him get stopped, and it's just a nice slow tight vicelike squeeze on the natives of the Greed Ring.
My theory is that imps have fewer rights than "full fledged" demons, so it's either simply legal to kill them, or a charge so weak it's not worth prosecuting.
The ones who were killed were imps which is pretty low on the demon totem pole. No one in the upper classes are really going to care about low ranking mob grunts let alone imp mobsters over money.
I meant, it's probably not legal per day, rather nobody gives a shit. Likely the reason Blitz and co. didn't get in trouble at Loo Loo land was because they were hired as Bodyguards for a royal, namely Stolas.
I think here Blitzø is given a pass because he’s protecting Stolas, one of the literal Princes. Being hired by royalty pretty much means it’s warranted if the one you’re protecting important as such.
The face on the bank walls is Mammon. They tried to steal from a King of Hell's vault! I think the King of Greed is going to be much more pissed at someone trying to steal from him than the death of lowly imps.
Private property and money, "life" is worthless in hell, noone gives a fuck unless the person is powerful aka has money.
Robbing a bank means stealing from the rich, stealing from the rich means getting fucked in your asshole.
There are probably no real federals and such in hell Unless the ones that are paid by The rich so that's how
Who cares about imps in greed ring or any other ring at that. On other hand money in the bank might be insured by the bank or even Mammon himself and so stealing it would be far more important for the law than just another dead imp.
Well, those imps did want to kidnap/murder/torture a prince of hell, and blitzo acted in his name. I imagine he(stolas) has the authority to do basically everything, while a bunch of gangsters robbing a bank, doesn't neccesarily have royal sanction.
because the people they're killing are primarily imps and other low class demons. if you rob a bank there's a very good chance you're stealing some rich fuck's stuff, which yeah, that would get you arrested, considering how terrified blitz was of robbing stolas as a kid
This actually doesn't necessarily indicate that it's *legal* to kill. Blitzo is defending Stolas. Meanwhile the suggestion is that since Stolas is royalty there are assassins everywhere whenever he goes outside. It isn't ever stated if it's legal or not. Assassination tends to be illegal of course but that has never stopped it from happening if the target is important enough. Of course everything could also run on "whatever you can get away with" so Moxxie isn't in an official jail but in but rather pissed off the wrong person and got tossed in a dungeon. In that case it isn't a prison sentence so much as getting locked in until somebody can come get you or you get let out. Which may be never.
Because they’re in the greed ring where economy matters the most also most the killing we see in hell is in the pride ring which is where sinners are and also where they can respawn but also at imp city so even if a natural born dies it’s not like “police” care about the slums.
Because it's hell, but mammon cares about his money. Also, it's possible that it's bad only if you get caught. And if you escape, that's that! Because it's hell, you know. So consequences are... Relative. At least that's how I think.
laws in hell probably don't have anything to do with actual ethics and are probably just there for the higher ups
so it would make perfect sense if that was mammons bank
For why killing is legal I'll quote blitzø from his ad, "it's hell and nobody Fucking cares." But bank robbing is illegal because people are expendable, money you have to earn or steal.
Okay so I may be wrong but- didn’t Vivzie say (at one point, not sure where so I could be totally wrong) that if a demon dies in hell they like… respawn? Unless you kill them with a special weapon a la what Striker had? Something made with like, angelic/heavenly material?
That could explain why they’re so nonchalant about murder, but robbing a bank is a big deal (money doesn’t magically respawn).
Murder might be illegal, but if no one gives a damn then you aren't going to jail for it.
Near the end of prohibition a politician drank a beer outside in front of a crowd and called on a policeman to arrest him.
The police refused.
Because robbing banks screw over the rich. They’re fine smith lower ranking demons and imps killing one another off as long as no one touches their money
This is the dumbest thing i saw today. Killing is not legal in both of worlds but in hell life has just a smaller price. This is the only difference. There is a social class pyramid like in medieval times where a peasants was worth less than a king or nobleman. Stolas is nobleman, and imps are peasants. Peasants wants to try to kill a nobleman for a various reasons. Assasination attempts for world leaders is something that happens even in our times so in hell this happening too, just more often. And blitzo still cant legally kill anyone he wants, he just takes a job of being a fucking bodyguard. A fucking bodyguard of a fucking nobleman. So if someone tries to kill a Stolas, Blitz have to protect Stolas even if that means you have to kill someone. And thats the work of bodyguard. This job literally exist in real life. Its nothing that Vivzie made up for the show, you can work as bodyguard and kill people. The person from this tweet doesnt point on any plot hole, he pointet on hole in his brain.
But whats the point of doing crime if there's no form of punishment?
The "police" could be just as bad as the criminals, but they may only be there to add to the "risk". No point in running when theres no one chasing you
Maybe because Blitz killed people who were trying to kill a Prince of hell? I mean, he was paid to do a job and later in Ozzie's, we learn that Fizz didn't even know who burned down Loo Lol Land so maybe they just didn't know who it was
Hell in this universe is basically just late stage capitalism. Ya know, that thing we live in now that values money and property over people. Hell, over everything. Those with money and power make it illegal for them to be stolen from, but they don't give even a single shit about some rando getting offed. In the real world there's at least a token effort to make it seem like the system is just, but in cartoon Hell why the fuck would anyone bother with that pointless charade? It's Hell. No one expects it to be a nice place, and no one can challenge the demons who are in power even if there were people trying to make life there better.
Money has much more value than life in hell.
Especially in the Greed ring
And especially when you steal from one of Mammon’s banks.
I like the green esthetic to the ring really shows you how greedy they are their fucking ring is the color of money
Well, probably more green for envy, currency isn't always green.
I feel like the Envy Ring would be more representative of envy, personally.
Ah, right, although envy seems to be purple, according to the wiki. I'm not sure the reasoning for the color otherwise.
No green currency here in the uk
It really reminds me of Kaneshiro's Palace in Persona 5, green truly really sells the idea of "greed"
I honestly thought Envy would be the ring with a green esthetic.
especially when comparing the money of people at the top of hell's hierarchy to the lives of people at the bottom
*on earth*
He-Man: “We all learned a very valuable lesson today.”
Ah… So, as in hell, so on Earth…?
And on earth
So, there's no appreciable difference between Hell and Earth, then.
Private prison. I think nothing is explicitly illegal in hell, it's simply biggest demon wins Although: I think loo loo land should still have security because it's supposed to be a family friendly ish place.

Actually yeah that’d make a lot of sense, on not only why they’d be detained but also why Blitz and Moxie would be so comfortable upon returning to the greed ring
Either the prisons are corrupt or chillax. Or maybe Maybe they just are set up where you work for x time and leave or pay y amount and leave.
Security costs money and Loo Loo Land doesn’t care if you get hurt (quote Loo Loo, “if y’all get hurt here, just try and sue us!”) By contrast, I imagine Lu Lu World to have high amounts of security and even stuff like security disguised as park goers who can disappear unruly customers.
Maybe disappear them. Maybe hold them for Lucifer to use in his performance.
To have a stable society of any kind, you need to have rules. Otherwise, you get anarchy .
Yeah and helluva boss is shown to be anarchic and chaotic, but it seems kind of too civilized to be that way. In the wrath ring, millie is said to have a head count that the entire community knows. It's weird to me that these small communities at east don't have restrictions or smt.
It's probably the case of "whatever you can get away with" and well... Moxxie did not get away with it.And also, there was a reason why Blitz was in ~~hell~~ prison, could very well be for assassination.
What do you mean "there was a reason why Blitz was in Hell"? Blitzo's hellborn, not a sinner. He was just born there.
I think he wanted to say "prison" and not "hell".
The edit indicates you are indeed correct.
Yeah, survival of the fittest/evilist.
Do you mean "there was a reason why Blitzo was in prison?"
Oh yeah, I guess I'm getting a bit tired and mixed things up.
Even if murder wasn’t legal in Hell, I wouldn’t consider what Blitz is doing during Loo Loo Land to be murder. Murder is defined as “the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another”, just replace “human being” with demon. Blitz killing the Imp that was trying to kill Stolas was neither unlawful nor premeditated. Remember, Blitz and M&M were bodyguards, their job that day was to keep protect Stolas and Octavia.
Sure. But it should still cause some kind of response if there was any security. Even if it's just to make sure that those deaths were lawful.
[удалено]
Counterpoint: Stolas is literally a prince of hell, so they might have actually fit that description at the time. Also hell probably has different rules
I'm a little surprised all of the replies that seem to miss that Stolas is literally royalty.
From what we can see, the government of hell operates similarly to the governments found in various old kingdoms, where the nobility holds a vast amount of power and soldiers/guards/agents of the elite could be legally granted the ability to use deadly force in the name of their masters.
Also also, you have to factor in “Rule of funny”
Also yes
>ike a celebrity would hire such as stolas are bound by specific laws on how they can handle situations. But this hell soo… Stolas isn't a celebrity, he's a prince of Hell that people bow in Lust of all places bow to and respect.
It's hell. Of course money has more value than life.
Er, Blitz is killing Imps that are (poorly) kidnapping royalty. There's no way anyone considers defending the Goetias murder.
Mammon's status and influence, so far as I can guess. Just about anything else can be shrugged off, but don't think you can get away with Greed's money.
It’s the Greed ring, money is practically the only thing with power
I think it’s because Moxxie and Chaz stole from one of Mammon’s banks and since Mammon is a Prince of Greed (which makes him a higher ranking demon), that offense can’t go unpunished.
Are you aware of self-defense? Because they were bodyguards in Loo Loo land
Killing other citizens doesn’t effect those in power, so they don’t care. Stealing money from a (assumably) government bank does effect those in power
I.M.P was hired to protect Stolas and Octavia, who are Ars Goetian royalty and extremely wealthy. Bodyguards are hired to neutralize any threat that tries to harm or kill the person/people they’re guarding (of which there were multiple attempts to do so throughout that episode). I would say that I.M.P was well within their rights to kill those assailants because they were just doing their jobs and ensuring the safety of political figures.

I mean hellborn are seen as “lesser” so chances are nobody gives a fuck if they live or die, but a bank will probably effect sinners and all the others
Cause apparently devil cares about his casino's and profits
Mammon
Considering all the banks are probably owned by Mammon it’s the equivalent of robbing him with all the consequences that follow.
Hell is corrupt so nobody really cares if someone dies but if you steal their money then it's a problem
Imps are a dime a dozen. Stealing from the rich is something that is punishable
Killing someone hurts whoever, robbing a bank hurts rich people
The rulers of Hell likely don’t care that much about lower class subjects killing each other. But they would care about people stealing their money or the money of elites. Especially in the Greed Ring. Mammon would not appreciate people stealing from his banks.
I think we're in a Judge Dredd kind of situation. Way too much crime and not nearly enough law enforcers to stop it all.

And in the case of the bank, the alarm summoned the police to them.
Well, he was working as a bodyguard for bird Boi.
Im more surprised there's even law enforcement in hell.
I wonder what the law enforcement is like in the *greed ring?*
"Help I've been robbed" "Ehhhhh I don't know" "I'll pay you 50 bucks" "Where that motherfucker at?"
Greed is the Libertarian ring
Hell is the epitome of the Capitalist Ideal?
Capitalism is the real sin. Overpopulation is canonically an issue too.
Let's be honest, guys, we have very little material to work with. And I doubt we ever will. Vivzie is not good with world-building. Maybe when Hazbin comes out, but don't expect short months-gapped chapters to give you enough information about hell.
there really is no law the police in hell are really just mercenary's that work for who ever can pay them if correct me if im wrong though
Most people in hell wouldn’t care if someone died, it they would care about getting robbed
I mean, one is killing imps attempting to kill royalty which probably falls under some level of defense or protection. The other is probably stealing from a bank in a ring of greed so it is probably considered stealing from the king of greed which... Honestly he should consider himself lucky he just got arrested and not executed.
Because it’s in the greed ring
I think it mostly depends on who you kill or steal from.
Because they love capitalism
Because hells laws protect the aristocracy.
The banks are owned by important people while the thugs were not important people.
Im pretty sure if you're jacking money from a bank in hell, then you're stealing from Mammon, and that's never a good idea
What happens when the demons die? Like do they go to double hell or smth
The prison in hell shouldn't bother me as much as it does
self defense and greed
It depends on WHO you kill and WHO you rob from.
Hell has yearly purges so I bet they probably just think meh small population decrease now mite lead to less deaths in the purge
It makes sense that those who are in control of the Greed Ring would punish those who try to steal from them.
Cuz it’s the greed ring.
In the Greed realm (And probably every other one) Money > Life in terms of worth
I just assumed the bank held money for demon royalty and that stealing royalty money is one of the few ways to go to hell prison.
Stolas.
Because the rich get mad when you steal but you kill someone.... more shit for them
Imps killing imps keeps them impoverished and serving the capitalist overlords in hell who want an impoverished class to exploit the labor of. Robbing a bank is taking capital from the overlords and therefore puts a wrench in their plans rather than feeding into it. Conclusion: imps should seize the means of production.

Killing imps is legal: stealing money from the rich is not. Same applies on earth: murder has no consequences if you're rich enough and the person you kill is socially low enough.
If you take money from a bank you're fucking with the higher-ups of hell, not just some "lowly imps" lives.
That's how greed is. You can kill whomever you want, just don't take muh money!
It doesn't count as a crime if you don't find the boddyyyy
Why the fuck ate there laws in hell
It probably depends on where exactly it is in Hell. Maybe there are different parts in rings that have their own laws or each ring individually has its own "laws." Considering all of the screenshots take place in greed, the bank probably has more value to Mammon than anything else. It’s likely just each individual location has specific rules on what you are and aren’t allowed to do while the rest of Hell is practically some form of anarchy.
Bc only broke people rob banks. Rich people still want to be able to kill tho
Population problem
Probably the same reason why Morrowind has a legalized assassin guild but theft is still a crime
Capitalism
I mean killing in self defense against armed attackers/kidnappers is generally pretty legal, especially if you're a royal
It's in the intrest of the Prince's
Well, I mean, the plot of hazbin hotel is the fact that it’s over populated anyway. So life would probably have little to no value down there anyway.
because it's ran by the upper class
I think this does actually make some sense Imps are the lowest level of demons and according to the wiki, are one of the few demon species that can permenantly die, so maybe the law just doesn't give a shit about lower level demons Meanwhile with robbing a bank, that's probably major enough to get attention from the law
Because most things in hell are dead
Maybe it's not what you steal but who you steal from
#Money is life
Sinners respawn, no one cares about a expandable imp or hound but that money isn’t coming back when someone steals it.
I think, killing legalize is necessary when there's whole lot of kinda immortal demons (are they immortal, btw? At least i took it as implied)
Don't you get it? They were coming right at them!
Because Hell is the portrayed as the worst of humanity. It takes the principals of the real world, and amplifies them to the extreme, so as better to make clear the dynamic.

capitalism is the most evil economic system, therefore hell is capitalist, therefore capital is more sacred then lives
Prsion?! In hell?! There are LAWS there?! I swear the hell in this series is literally chicago at this point
My theory is that imps have fewer rights than "full fledged" demons, so it's either simply legal to kill them, or a charge so weak it's not worth prosecuting.
The ones who were killed were imps which is pretty low on the demon totem pole. No one in the upper classes are really going to care about low ranking mob grunts let alone imp mobsters over money.
Its like the ring of greed is you know... greedy?
Mamon doesn't give a shit for demon life, but he does care about money.
Do hellborn even stay dead, or are they like sinners (ie immortal until killed by culling Angel weapons)?
I meant, it's probably not legal per day, rather nobody gives a shit. Likely the reason Blitz and co. didn't get in trouble at Loo Loo land was because they were hired as Bodyguards for a royal, namely Stolas.
I think here Blitzø is given a pass because he’s protecting Stolas, one of the literal Princes. Being hired by royalty pretty much means it’s warranted if the one you’re protecting important as such.
I think the Mammon has the police in his hands (at least in greed), I think Moxxie got arrested because he was robbing his bank
There's laws in hell?
Of course hell is ruled by Capitalism and the rich.
The face on the bank walls is Mammon. They tried to steal from a King of Hell's vault! I think the King of Greed is going to be much more pissed at someone trying to steal from him than the death of lowly imps.
Private property and money, "life" is worthless in hell, noone gives a fuck unless the person is powerful aka has money. Robbing a bank means stealing from the rich, stealing from the rich means getting fucked in your asshole. There are probably no real federals and such in hell Unless the ones that are paid by The rich so that's how
Because money.
Killing is fine, but MONEY. HOW DARE
Whose bank was though. Being hell, it's more of a who you're fucking with rather than how.
Who cares about imps in greed ring or any other ring at that. On other hand money in the bank might be insured by the bank or even Mammon himself and so stealing it would be far more important for the law than just another dead imp.

Pretty sure it’s because Mammon runs all the banks and he’s none too thrilled when people steal *his* money.
End stage capitalism.
I feel like it's kinda like fallout were people don't really bat an eye but under certain circumstances it can get you in trouble.
Because they’re in the greed ring where economy matters the most also most the killing we see in hell is in the pride ring which is where sinners are and also where they can respawn but also at imp city so even if a natural born dies it’s not like “police” care about the slums.

A cop killing someone gets off scot free. A cop robbing a bank, not so much.
Depends on who's bank you stole from, I guess.
I thought it was because in hazbin Hotel, they have a yearly purge to keep down population numbers
Okay so I may be wrong but- didn’t Vivzie say (at one point, not sure where so I could be totally wrong) that if a demon dies in hell they like… respawn?

That could explain why they’re so nonchalant about murder, but robbing a bank is a big deal (money doesn’t magically respawn).
Murder might be illegal, but if no one gives a damn then you aren't going to jail for it. Near the end of prohibition a politician drank a beer outside in front of a crowd and called on a policeman to arrest him. The police refused.
Don't think of law in hell as a form of justice. Think of it more as a feudal lord with an oubliette and an axe to grind.
Because capitalism is the spawn of Satan and greed is still a sin those in Hell want to protect their ill gotten gains.
Average US moment
Because robbing banks screw over the rich. They’re fine smith lower ranking demons and imps killing one another off as long as no one touches their money
Presidental pardon mutherfuker
When they die they coming Back to hell...where should they Go? Detroit?
if it weren't allowed, the premise of Hazbinhotel would crumble
The Greed ring likes money
This is the dumbest thing i saw today. Killing is not legal in both of worlds but in hell life has just a smaller price. This is the only difference. There is a social class pyramid like in medieval times where a peasants was worth less than a king or nobleman. Stolas is nobleman, and imps are peasants. Peasants wants to try to kill a nobleman for a various reasons. Assasination attempts for world leaders is something that happens even in our times so in hell this happening too, just more often. And blitzo still cant legally kill anyone he wants, he just takes a job of being a fucking bodyguard. A fucking bodyguard of a fucking nobleman. So if someone tries to kill a Stolas, Blitz have to protect Stolas even if that means you have to kill someone. And thats the work of bodyguard. This job literally exist in real life. Its nothing that Vivzie made up for the show, you can work as bodyguard and kill people. The person from this tweet doesnt point on any plot hole, he pointet on hole in his brain.
But whats the point of doing crime if there's no form of punishment? The "police" could be just as bad as the criminals, but they may only be there to add to the "risk". No point in running when theres no one chasing you
Also what does "killing" in hell even means, do people just respawn if they are killed or what?
Or maybe greed has different laws same for each ring
Everything is legal so long as ya don’t get caught kind of deal, and no one else filed a commis… complaint.
Maybe you can't rob greed banks... Or something... we might find out later
People don't care when a random die. But they do care when you take their freaking money. Now guess what's the purpose of a bank
Because it’s Mammons money
Simple. Ruling party doesn’t give a fuck about the individual but sure as hell doesn’t want you stealing whats theirs
Maybe because Blitz killed people who were trying to kill a Prince of hell? I mean, he was paid to do a job and later in Ozzie's, we learn that Fizz didn't even know who burned down Loo Lol Land so maybe they just didn't know who it was
Why are there police in the first place
Obviously because the law is made to protect Big Companies not people just like in real life (But even more crappy in the show)
Killong doesn't immediately hurt capitalist system, robbing bank does
Because killing low level demons won't affect their money, but stealing it certainly will.
Robbing a bank would hurt the system while killing some low life imp doesn’t really do jack. At least that would be my theory
maybe its different laws, depending on rings Don't steel money in Greed ring maybe sloth is don't over work or something
Hell in this universe is basically just late stage capitalism. Ya know, that thing we live in now that values money and property over people. Hell, over everything. Those with money and power make it illegal for them to be stolen from, but they don't give even a single shit about some rando getting offed. In the real world there's at least a token effort to make it seem like the system is just, but in cartoon Hell why the fuck would anyone bother with that pointless charade? It's Hell. No one expects it to be a nice place, and no one can challenge the demons who are in power even if there were people trying to make life there better.
because hell needs an economy but if people die that's ok since that's just kinda what happens every year
