Whose fault is it, anyway?

After watching the short episode of Helluva Boss called “Barbie’s Bad Day.” Yes, I know the episode aired a while ago, sorry about that.

I just want to share my opinion on whose fault it really is that Barbie (Barb wire, or Barb for short) got fired. To be honest, it is all Jimmy’s fault.

Yes, the little kid camp counselor who was going through puberty and acting like a supplier for Barb in Season 2, episode 5, called "Unhappy Camper."

This all happened because one of the camp lifeguards found out about the drugs Jimmy and Barb were hiding in a shed where a boat was stored.

Jimmy was the one who murdered the camp lifeguard and didn’t tell Barb, which is where the story picks up, because the now-dead lifeguard ends up in hell, and where does he go? Yep, I.M.P (Immediate Murdering Professionals) to get his revenge on Jimmy.

So, who is Barb Wire? Barb is Blitz’s twin sister, and she has a major hatred toward Blitz, mostly due to the death of their mother, which was Blitz’s fault for accidentally starting a fire. The fire destroyed the circus where Blitz and Barb Wire grew up, which also happened to be their home.

This trauma was so severe that it was the cause that made Barb become a drug addict, and her choice of poison was H-8 (pronounced Hate).

Eventually, Barb gets clean and tries to lead a normal life, and has a relationship with another Imp named Kendra.

A little fact about Barb Wire and Blitz: I got this information from the YouTuber Channel called EntShip Eep. I’ll include the clip and link below.

Many people assume that Barbie is simply the female version of Blitz, especially after Helluva Boss released Barbie’s latest short. At first glance, Barbie and Blitz do seem almost identical. They’re twin siblings who both have extremely reckless personalities, never hold back their sharp words, and even share the same favorite hand gesture. Their appearances are strikingly similar as well.

However, these similarities are only surface-level. In reality, Barbie and Blitz handle relationship problems in completely different ways. For example, when Kendra argues with Barbie over money issues, Barbie does get upset, but she’s able to pull herself out of her emotions before things escalate further. In contrast, when Blitz gets into an argument, he never knows when to stop. His emotions only intensify as the fight drags on.

Another key difference lies in where they choose to live. Although both Blitz and Barbie grew up in the Greed Ring, Blitz now lives in the Pride Ring, while Barbie remains in the Greed Ring. This contrast carries deep symbolic meaning: Blitz keeps moving forward with his life, whereas Barbie stays stuck in the past, still drowning in the pain of losing their mother.

Their responses to criticism also differ. When Blitz is blamed by others, he’ll talk back and defend himself, but deep down, he always blames himself. Barbie also argues back when criticized, but unlike Blitz, she truly believes she’s done nothing wrong.

In summary, Barbie and Blitz are far from being the same. While they share certain traits and a striking resemblance, their emotional responses and life choices set them apart in significant ways.

One thing I did notice is that Blitz wants to rebuild the broken sibling bond between him and Barbie. Towards the end of the episode, Blitzo extends an olive branch of peace, but Barbie rejects him and tells him that she doesn’t want to see him ever.

Barbie even goes to her boss and blames Jimmy’s death on Blitzo and also on Kendra. I do feel sorry for Barbie, and in one scene, I actually thought she was going to relapse.

And to be honest, she had every reason.

- Seeing the sibling that ruined her life.

- Losing her job.

- Her phone getting damaged because of water in the ring of sloth.

- and fighting with her girlfriend.

But she chose not to go back to doing drugs.

So there you have it, it wasn’t Barbie’s fault, it wasn’t Blitzo's fault, it was 100% Jimmy’s fault, what an asshole!!
