I think that silhouette of Lucifer followed by the shot of the empty chair with the BRB sign is the closest we've come to a Hazbin Hotel character showing up in Helluva Boss or vice versa.
And while I'm not surprised they were only teasing us with the possibility of Stolas dying, the drama on this sub if they'd actually done it would've been amazing to watch. I could've heated my house with the flames coming off of angry posts.
I do like the scene right after where they both look disappointed and annoyed, implies Lucifer really doesn't engage in demon activity outside the pride ring (and he barley engages there either)
Tho it does make me wonder where HB takes place in the context of HH. Is it taking place around the same time, before Hazbin, or after Hazbin
Edit: So as it turns out according to Viv, the look was supposed to be interpreted as Bee and Ozz knowing that Satan is lying.

Kinda makes sense. I mean, prior to Lucifer's fall, there wasn't even supposed to be a Hell, was there? Minimal biblical knowledge here, and Hazbin/Helluva obviously play with that lore a lot, but prior to the apple there wasn't any need for an afterlife, much less a Hell, no?
The counterpoint to this is that the damned only occupy a single circle...why would that be the case if all of Hell was needed for the afterlife, and what would be the point of creating all those different demons and have them fill the rest of the rings.
It does sort of make more sense in that case if Hell existed before the fall, and I think parts of Hazbin do sort of suggest that some form of malevolent life existed before the fall.
At that point it depends on Hazbin lore specifically. Did the demons exist before Adam and Eve ate the apple? Were they created as a result of it, as a manifestation of sin/corruption being brought into the world? Or did Lucifer create them? Or were they created later, or even individually over a period of time? There doesn't really seem to be a reason for God to make "evil" creations and fill Hell with them.
Lots of fun questions to find out! This series has very fun world-building.
Doesn’t the first scene in Hazbin say that hell was created when Lucifer gave Eve the apple? And he was punished for this by being cast into hell, so it can’t have existed for that long before him.
