The latest episode of Hazbin Hotel Season 2 drew back the curtains on Angel Dust‘s past, offering insight into why he killed his father. Angel Dust has been one of the key characters on the show since the beginning, but much about him has remained shrouded in mystery. This episode finally gave viewers a deeper look into his past.
Why did Angel Dust murder his own father in Hazbin Hotel?
Until now, it was not clear why Angel Dust was in hell. However, the episode revealed that Angel killed his own father. The show offered a glimpse into Angel Dust’s past for the first time.
While the episode did not explicitly reveal why or how Angel murdered his father, certain hints help piece together a possible explanation.
In this episode, Vox asks if his father “hit” him. This indicates that Angel Dust may have been a victim of abuse. His father was a high-ranking Italian mob boss, which could further explain the violence.
Additionally, Angel being queer could have contributed to the abuse he suffered. Angel died in the 1940s and grew up around the turn of the century, a time when queerness was widely deemed immoral.
Therefore, there is a possibility that Angel killed his father in self-defense.
Hazbin Hotel may eventually explore the full scope of this tragic backstory now that it has begun delving into Angel’s past. His act of killing his father will likely remain a crucial part of his story moving forward. It could become one of the defining storylines of the season.
The third episode of Hazbin Hotel Season 2 is now streaming on Prime Video.
