The first two pages of a new RadioDealer comic has dropped on my Patreon. If you'd like early access you can find it right here: -> Risky Business (Part 1) <-

This is a follow-up comic to "First Meetings"

I really doubt the show would really do that but still, thought of it is haunting me at the back of my mind

Well, hello there!

Personally, I love the idea of Alastor somehow becoming Roo's new host, or "the new Root"; I think it's a very interesting concept.

However, I completely agree with you about him being imprisoned for "all the bad things he has done". The idea of him being imprisoned really bothers me. It doesn't just terrify me, it infuriates me.

Alastor is a curious embodiment of chaos. He simply desires the freedom to go wherever he wants and do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. Having already broken free from his chains after nearly 100 years of servitude, it would be a terrible end for him to finish exactly where he began, with all the power but confined to a cage.

In the Marvel series, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) presents a scenario similar to the one you mentioned: (SPOILERS!) For most of the series, Loki believes his "glorious purpose" is to become king, to have a throne. Throughout the story, he discovers that what he truly wants is to not be alone. He has met a group of people who "accept" him (debatable) and with whom he has grown fond (debatable), and he only wants them to be safe and by his side. In the end, he discovers that the only way for his friends to be safe is for him to sacrifice himself. He obtains a throne, but the price is an eternity of loneliness.

In Hazbin Hotel, we're led to believe that for Alastor, power isn't about ruling, but rather a means to an end: freedom. He'll do anything to achieve it. However, we've also seen, at least in older character profiles, that something Alastor truly values or desires is a family.

And there is a possibility that, somehow, this will continue.

This is likely part of Alastor's inner conflict: whether his desire for freedom is stronger and how far he's willing to go for it, or whether his "chosen family" has taken priority.

I must say that I think it's more likely that Charlie will be chosen to become Roo's new host.

And that can lead to several routes, such as:

Charlie manages to contain Roo's power

Charlie struggles to contain that power, but all her friends and family join forces and the power is "divided" among them, leaving them as guardians of that power in the Hotel

Charlie struggles to contain this power, and Alastor intervenes to take it for himself (whether because he simply wants that power or because he genuinely wants to help Charlie, perhaps a combination of both), becoming "the new Root" This could lead to:

Alastor accepts imprisonment (less likely) because he can contain that power but cannot control it.

Alastor manages to assimilate that power, but he is imprisoned because "he surely has nefarious aims".

Alastor manages to assimilate that power and...does nothing with it; he remains our chaotic gremlin who will cause trouble on purpose for fun.

Assuming, of course, that Alastor doesn't "explode" while trying to obtain that power, since he's a human soul. But anyway, the most popular theory is that Roo is Eve, or a separate entity using Eve's body. And there's also the theory that Alastor has some kind of connection to Roo, which would increase his chances of becoming her new host.

Really, we can only wait and see, but I think punishing Alastor by imprisoning him would be a terrible decision. It would be unfair and illogical considering the goals the series aims to show. So, while it's a possibility, it's at the bottom of the list.

...

I seriously doubt this merchandise is any kind of clue...right?
