And here's why I don't mind.

If you're a fan of the Hellaverse like I am, you're probably aware of the Helluva Boss short "Mission: Chupacabras".

There was a little bit of Spanish spoken in that episode, mainly because it literally takes place in Tijuana, Mexico.

I like that they did that for a bit of the episode with making the dialogue match the location authentically, instead of kind of making the characters speak English 100% of the time without a single Spanish word for audience's sake when we know that in a country like Mexico, the characters would not be speaking in English (outside of a few circumstances).

And where does Val come into that? We know he speaks Spanish from time to time, but likely defaults to English because that's what everyone around him speaks in (Vox, Vel etc.).

I really wouldn't be surprised if a Val centered episode is mostly in all Spanish given that he obviously comes from a Spanish speaking background. And with a Hispanic creator and Val's VA being Hispanic too, it makes sense that it would be the case.

And with captions being widely used today (the captions for Mission: Chupacabras are honestly so good and so in line with the vibe of the Hellaverse without being formatted incorrectly or done erroneously wrong), I really don't care if I have to rely on captions to understand a Val centered episode in Spanish.

I also think it would be better if they went down the route of having Val speak in Spanish for most of one episode to really get the emotional tones and feeling of what's happening in the episode as for me personally, I prefer to watch foreign media with the audio in the original language and watch captions instead of listening to the English dub, as I'm hearing exactly how the actors verbally portrayed the emotions of the characters. And I find that many dubbing actors can be really good, but never quite hit or match the original actors' performance as they understandably, haven't spent as much time being the character.
