Blitzo Not An Imp?
Okay so random little theory about Blitzo-
This is kinda unbiased and out of left field but I think Blitzo isn’t a normal Imp and that he may share some interesting bloodline connections. Why do I say this:
1. Blitzo seems to be different than other Imps. Of course this could just be character design choices and nothing more but what interests me most is the height, spikes and horns.
They’re so different than what we’ve seen previously. I might be disproven once the show continues on but it is interesting how much more…monster-ish Blitzo appears to others. The claws too! Compared to Millie and Moxxie even they seem much smaller and weaker. Even slouched he towers over other Imps. Why? (Also, editing this after ep 3, but the only other tall Imps seen are Succubi/Incubi. Blitzo is right in the middle between Verosika and other Imps, hinting at perhaps him not being fully one or the other?)
Look at those small hands and lack of insignas!
There’s also this scene:
Blitzo looks much more demonic and while it may be because he’s angry he doesn’t look like this in other scenes of anger or distress. He also looks bothered, but not overly annoyed or furious like we’ve seen him before. Whenever he blows up, only his eyes glow, they don’t change colors. (Also peep the eyes on the wall-some enemy/self hating manifesting powers?)
It could just be a ‘demon form’ but do Imps have those? Only other angry red eyes we have seen have been from hellborn royalty like Charlie and Stolas.
2. He has an amazing amount of skill and prowess. From catching the arrow in the first episode to being able to fight Robo Fizz for a while. It seems odd he’d be so skilled while Moxxie and Millie still need to be training (Episode 1 and 2). It could just be attributed to his days in the circus where he’d need to be in top physical condition but I’ll get to that.
Also he was able to make friends with Spindle, the god horse? It may not be cannon anymore because of Insta posts getting disproven but it could be a hint or unused plotline about Blitzo’s capabilities.
3. Why does he know about the Grimoire? It could just be common knowledge but it seems odd that he would know the specifics of it and even where and how to get it. Yeah, he stole it (if the pilot still holds true) but that’s a big risk. Especially if Stolas decided he was one and done with the Imp. Why would Stolas decide to be with Blitzo if he is just a normal, everyday Imp since he sees them so often and is in contact with the help? Not that Stolas knows anything, but perhaps there is some kind of draw to Blitzo? Or maybe Blitzo knew exactly how to worm his way into Stolas’ favor.
So what am I trying to say? For starters, I do think Blitzo is an Imp. But I think he’s half Imp. He is still hellborn, can still travel the rings and what not and can blend in but he is by no means ‘normal’. What’s the other half? I think he is Mammon’s son. Or at least half of his essence. Or something along those lines.
Bear with me here but if this hierarchy is fucked up with Imps and Hellhounds being at the bottom I can totally see Mammon(or other powerful lords) making Imp children just to populate his ring (Greed) and use them as workers for his various theme parks for free labor. I also say Mammon because of Blitzo working at Loo Loo Land and being so greedy.
The only other imps that even look remotely like Blitzo are his sisters(or sister, given Tilla hasn’t been mentioned since the pilot) and they are blood related. They would also be related to Mammon, hence sharing similar looks. Barbie Wire especially who seems to be his fraternal twin if the opposite white mark on her forehead stays canon.
Going back to his circus days-I could see Blitzo being a stand in for Mammon and his dirty work pre-Robo Fizz. I think Blitzo was created for that purpose but after beginning to form his own personality and desires his father replaced him with Robo Fizz. Look at how much Robo Fizz looks like Blitzo. He seems so similar from the horns and body type. The biggest similarity being the heart on his head.
I’ll add onto this the more we go into it but since Blitzo points out that he doesn’t pry into personal lives (even though he does) and no one, not even Loona, knew about his past relationship, it’s safe to say there is not a lot known about Blitzo by his friends and family. Which could leave room for the theory that Blitzo has secrets under his sleeve. It would be interesting to see more of Blitzo’s past coming up and perhaps why he acts the way he does.
I dunno, what do you guys think?
