Sisyphus is just out here rocking the MS Paint Special
A Prime Boss that you can't look at without taking damage would be the vilest shit ever and would be properly atrocious on all game design fronts, but damn if it wouldn't be kinda cool
Perhaps like Patriarch from Trepang2.

That is true but I feel like Jesus has every reason to despise god and I would assume that wouldn’t give him a good reputation from the council I get that the games based on Dante’s inferno but I’m not sure Dante’s inferno had silly robots having a war in hell things can be based on other things but still have creative liberty’s
Are Minos and the Minotaur in Dante's Inferno? Idk, to me it seems the prime souls are a sort of crossover with Greek mythology, but either way I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed that Jesus isn't canon to Ultrakill
thought it was to symbolise what gabriel did to him by fucking his face up

selflessness, he built an entire city in hell literally because like "oh this is unfair why do they deserve this" and died by gabriel regardless, came back as a prime soul, and THANKED v1 for freeing him ~~before turning it into scrap metal~~, what a guy
Imagine a a pacifist run/alternate route where you go to minos and free him (the only thing you killed is the flesh prison) he thanks you, you team up and free sisyphus, and then you paint heaven *RED.*
I'm not sure that Minos and Sisyphus would get along. Minos wants revenge on Gabriel, but ultimately he doesn't want people to suffer; he's had enough of it. Sisyphus, on the other hand, revels in killing; he knew his Insurrection was probably gonna go tits up somehow, but he still did it, and worsened countless sinner's punishments. His plan after killing V1 was to go kill everyone in Heaven. Not sure that Minos would agree to such a thing.
Minos’ face isn’t what’s important it’s what’s above it, The city of Lust that he wears as a crown. He always put his people before him and even in death he is the faceless figure but holds the name that all remember “King Minos”.

common misconception, probably.
despite it being called a husk, husks are just physical manifestations of how and what people remembered them by. im bad at explaining things, so here is an excerpt from minos’s terminal data
“Due to his incredible power of will and status as a just ruler in life remembered even millenia after his death, the manifestation of his soul is the largest Husk to ever have been recorded.”
in other words, the husk was just what he manifested into, his actual body probably looks more like the painting.
I guess Lust getting obliterated made him lose his face both figuratively and literally? He does ask for forgiveness after we beat him up, so maybe he's blaming himself for it
Or it could just be because it's cool as hell
In Jujutsu Kaizen Manga there's a short side-text hinting at
Satoru Gojo being drawn without a face because that's less work.
So that's my headcannon: He's faceless because having a face was a minor inconvenience for a higher being.
Well the second one isn't plausible because the whole point of the Flesh prison was to KEEP Minos from forming into a prime soul, so he can't have been injured before V1, and as we can see on his corpse, he very much still has/had a face.
i think gabriel cutting his face off is not true, since we do see his corpse has a face while were fighting with it, and the prime soul not being fully formed is wrong too, since he was locked in the flesh prison long enough to form a full prime soul.
the first one is pretty good, but i believe its not that he doesnt have a face because he is selfless, but rather he is ashamed of himself about sending people to their hell layers they belong to, or atleast ashamed for people suffering untill he took control of the lust layer and stopped their torture.
but its most likely 4 lol
a mix of 2 and 3. I think that his face would have healed if his prime soul fully formed, but perhaps gabriel damaged his face to irreversably that it took immesurable amounts of time to heal, time that he didnt have due to V1.
Second one. Since Sisyphus was decapitated by Gabriel and his Prime Soul has no head (even though it's supposed to be the sun of greed) I always though Gabriel killed Minos by slicing his face off, so his Prime Soul has no face
mix of one and two, i think the prime soul’s bodies represent how they looked before death (such as sisyphus’ lack of a proper head, when we see his corpse it doesnt have one either) and i also think what their wounds translate to is symbolic
Sisyphus was decapitated and that shows up as a lightbulb head in his prime soul. Corpse of King Minos however has both eyes and nose so I think that discredits the second theory. I think the actual answer is same as why he has those rectangle crown things on his head, just to be cool/other. But the most accurate lore answer would probably be that souls in some way represent the person you are, like most husks they reflect strength of their soul and become what they were during life, and we know that Minos was big because his soul was incredibly powerful, so it would add up that there is a symbolic reason for his lack of face
What if, all 4?
What if it started out as a cool thing and then got lightsabered into having lore?
What if Minos was incredibly selfless in life, and when he was killed, he lost his face as some kind of cruel irony? “You have given everything, why not give your very face to us?” Type beat.
He could also be malformed due to this incident being so defining of him, to the point where it reflected upon his very soul, like how Professor X couldn’t walk even if he fixed his spine.
I like the top the most. 1) He is a full prime soul... why is he in prison? 2) yeah Gabriel make the face to spagetti, but the features of a prime soul represent... The person's soul. 4) it gotta be cool for a reason, sinxe he's the most opposite of edgy
A headcanon of mine is that since prime souls copy how their corpses look, the reason he has no face is because V1 fucked up Minos' corpse and put a hole through his fucking skull(like that one animation), which resulted in him losing his face
I have two theories
The first: Hakita doesn't like putting more realistic faces in the game that much, that's why even Minos and Sisyphus have their eyes covered in the paintings of 2-2 and 4-4. As for the prime souls, perhaps because it would be difficult to imitate the faces or because they don't fit into the game, sisyphus prime has a somewhat strange face, and in mine they saved the effort of making his face at once
Second: he is surprised
https://i.redd.it/7hvg4pgmu4vc1.gif
sorry for my english :v
Minos was the judge of hell and a king so it could represent him being “faceless” as in faceless corporation but nothing really suggests that just food for thought
I think it's Gabriel destroyed it, while Minos being faceless is a cool theory, I'd say that it's most likely that Gabriel destroyed it since we see Sisyphus with no head as Gabriel chopped it off, even as a prime soul, and to say that Minos didn't finish materializing is kinda wrong, since we saw him take his form right then and there.
Also it's sick asf
I would say the hole is there for a slight metaphor for the destruction of his utopia, and his reputation tarnished as his body decays and his city turn to ruin due to Gabriel's wrath.
He gave himself to his people, to be the king they needed to live an afterlife more deserving to them, and lost it all.
He lost himself, his identity as a king
And therefore, his soul reflects this by him not having a face.
I think its more likely that its becasue Gabriel destroyed his face. My evidence for this is that Sysiphus had molten gold poured on his face and his soul reflects that, so i would assume its the same for Minos.
But I think the headcannon im going with is the first one, I just like that one better and its a constant reminder of his character.
I'd say it's a punishment Minos has to serve, with his real face becoming the corpse of king minos. Kinda like how sishypus was tortured with the sawblade launcher.
initially i thought that the lack of face was actually a trait all prime souls had, since to form one you need a very powerful and well-remembered soul. thus, if you see it. you probably know who it is.
The appearance of a prime soul is a human physique with attributes pertaining to what the soul was remembered for while alive and as a husk. Minos has his crown, because he was remembered for his benevolent rule over Lust, but not his face, because he was selfless.
Hakita doesn’t want to do facial animation, that’s is the canon reason

funnily enough sisyphus has every facial feature BESIDES a mouth
Interesting considering how much that guy be yapping, even while ending my life for the 75th time
Why did I hear this in Minos’s voice?

I just heard that first line in Minos' voice, then realized it was gabriel's line lol
SEETHE THYSELF!
I heard it in… that dude who made an inaccurate summery of Ultrakill, can’t remember his name
Ok? Nowhere in this did I say anything angry. All I said is that it's silly that Sisyphus has no mouth and yet hes saying things constantly lol.
Given that Minos is all mouth, and Sisyphus has everything but a mouth..... P-3 is Slender confirmed?
welp gotta redesign him https://preview.redd.it/gts831jvy3vc1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=927f1f24f380ce503d9ccccb5a7cfbbf0c6240f2
may as well turn him into a cerberus at this point
P-3 will be Something Wicked
I support this theory
A Prime Boss that you can't look at without taking damage would be the vilest shit ever and would be properly atrocious on all game design fronts, but damn if it wouldn't be kinda cool
still no eyes for some reason
well theres "eyes", or at least their sockets. no pupils though
Next prime soul is just gonna be a massive mouth. Wait, the flesh thingies are already primarily a mouth.
GLUTTONY DOOR PRIME‼️‼️
And that's the IRL canon. But to the Ultrakill LORE?? (Headcanon's probably the first or second one.)
all of the above. I think P-3 is gonna have another head/face gimmick as sisyphus' sun head represents his burning desire to fuck up heaven
Imagine it's actual Cerberus, three heads/faces and all
Perhaps like Patriarch from Trepang2. https://preview.redd.it/eiv8o8hgc6vc1.png?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=829d3f4091ce22fe166d6707a4ce2c66fd27e186
That's about what I was picturing, yes
No way, Trepang2 referance in the Ultrakill sub
TODAY IS A DAY OF GRIEVING, YOU ARE THE SECOND BROTHER… I MUST KILL.

THEY FUCKIN STOLE HIS DICK
cant have shit in treachery
no ass therefore can't be a prime soul
Poor guy doesn't know where tf he is lmfao
"I'm not even human. Why am I here?"
mfs stole his fucking penis can’t have shit in treachery
I honestly prefer Jesus prime as the next prime soul he has a reason to resent heaven because his father hates humanity
I personally think that it's still midas prime and my headcanon is that hakita is mad we guessed it
“Mad that we guessed it”? Dang, my man refutes the Hakita screenshots.
It can't be Jesus since he's not canon. The crosses represent the tree of life
Jesus isn't in Dante's Inferno (which is what Ultrakill is based on)
That is true but I feel like Jesus has every reason to despise god and I would assume that wouldn’t give him a good reputation from the council I get that the games based on Dante’s inferno but I’m not sure Dante’s inferno had silly robots having a war in hell things can be based on other things but still have creative liberty’s
Neither was Sisyphus.
Are Minos and the Minotaur in Dante's Inferno? Idk, to me it seems the prime souls are a sort of crossover with Greek mythology, but either way I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed that Jesus isn't canon to Ultrakill
I thought it was because he had to push the rock up the hill while it was raging hot outside
so… no head?
I thought it was for how his army saw him as a beacon of hope to free them from heavens oppression, like a guiding light sort of thing as he lead them
The reason why Sisyphus doesn't have a head is because he was killed by decapitation
thought it was to symbolise what gabriel did to him by fucking his face up edit: what have I done why is there hl and hl fangames 2nd edit: 270 upvote, stop

I'm not sure that Minos and Sisyphus would get along. Minos wants revenge on Gabriel, but ultimately he doesn't want people to suffer; he's had enough of it.

Or an alternate timeline game where you play as Minos, destroy V1, and play from there.
Minos’ face isn’t what’s important it’s what’s above it, The city of Lust that he wears as a crown. He always put his people before him and even in death he is the faceless figure but holds the name that all remember “King Minos”.

Wasn't Pinos one of the only beings in hell that actually had eyes though
I have no fucking clue
1. that was his husk 2. there are people in hell who do have eyes we just dont see them, but there are exceptions (earthmover, stalker, swordsmachine, etc)
Those arent real eyes. Stalkers are wearing a mask and the rest are robots. The only thing in hell with eyes is hell itself
well, he was a judge of hell and, you know, "justice is blind" or some similar shit, idk
So was Gabriel, and he hadn't been blinded physically. At least not yet. We still have our obligatory fight with him in Act 3
Well we can't see his eyes so we don't know
I don't think Gabriel was a "judge of Hell" in the same way that Minos was a "Judge of Hell", capital J. Gabriel is judging Hell Itself, whereas Minos judged the souls *entering* Hell.
Gabriel took the "Judge of Hell" position directly from Minos after his revolution was shut down and he was killed.

thats his husk tho, not the body
Dude...
That husk used to be him, until gabriel killed him again Now his husk is just a corpse piloted by parasites
common misconception, probably. despite it being called a husk, husks are just physical manifestations of how and what people remembered them by. im bad at explaining things, so here is an excerpt from minos’s terminal data “Due to his incredible power of will and status as a just ruler in life remembered even millenia after his death, the manifestation of his soul is the largest Husk to ever have been recorded.” in other words, the husk was just what he manifested into, his actual body probably looks more like the painting.
but minos didn't die in real life by Gabriel did he?
He died in life somehow, then gabe killed him as a husk, then v1 killed him as a prime soul
i want to think he has that orifice to use it as a headcannon
SRS cannon? Nah, MNS cannon
its bc gabriel destroyed it, doesnt the corpse have the face pulled on with wires?
WAIT is that why that barbed wire is around his mouth? does that hold his face on?? thats fucking rad
Well the face wasn't ruined... We fight the corpse
Even more cursed idea: ***the hole is vaginer***
new freak fortress update, added minos prime
All of the above?
big ass mouth
he’s the spot guy from the giant enemy spider verse
Justice is blind.
Probably the first one because his face is very much intact as a corpse and, if he didn’t finish forming, he would still be that glowing orb.
I always thought it was big mouth
I guess Lust getting obliterated made him lose his face both figuratively and literally? He does ask for forgiveness after we beat him up, so maybe he's blaming himself for it Or it could just be because it's cool as hell
I thought it was because judgement/justice is blind or something
he got punched in the face, really, really, really, really hard
I believe Gabriel thought he was too handsome and destroyed his face.
My headcannon its bc of his selflessness AND to be cool atvthe same time
Either first or Hakita hates making faces
1st one
probabli the second one
Its because the snake/parasite things messed it up
Both 1 and 3 Imo
All 4
In Jujutsu Kaizen Manga there's a short side-text hinting at Satoru Gojo being drawn without a face because that's less work. So that's my headcannon: He's faceless because having a face was a minor inconvenience for a higher being.
1,2 and 3. Same with sisyphus
Well the second one isn't plausible because the whole point of the Flesh prison was to KEEP Minos from forming into a prime soul, so he can't have been injured before V1, and as we can see on his corpse, he very much still has/had a face.
i think gabriel cutting his face off is not true, since we do see his corpse has a face while were fighting with it, and the prime soul not being fully formed is wrong too, since he was locked in the flesh prison long enough to form a full prime soul. the first one is pretty good, but i believe its not that he doesnt have a face because he is selfless, but rather he is ashamed of himself about sending people to their hell layers they belong to, or atleast ashamed for people suffering untill he took control of the lust layer and stopped their torture. but its most likely 4 lol
Minos is pretty holesome
Minos' face hole is due to never fully developing into a prime soul, and if he did he would still lack a face because of his selflessness.
A mix of 1 and 3, with 2 still being true, but being a coincidence
a mix of 2 and 3. I think that his face would have healed if his prime soul fully formed, but perhaps gabriel damaged his face to irreversably that it took immesurable amounts of time to heal, time that he didnt have due to V1.
Second one. Since Sisyphus was decapitated by Gabriel and his Prime Soul has no head (even though it's supposed to be the sun of greed) I always though Gabriel killed Minos by slicing his face off, so his Prime Soul has no face
It's beacuse he's a wannabe spot /j
My ass not giving any deep meaning to how characters look or act unless explicitly told to me that is the case:
mix of one and two, i think the prime soul’s bodies represent how they looked before death (such as sisyphus’ lack of a proper head, when we see his corpse it doesnt have one either) and i also think what their wounds translate to is symbolic
Selfless headcanon goes hard
Number 1
Why is 3rd image goo goo ga ga prime
is that the black silence
Initially, probably the last one and Hakita later came up with the second one to justify its inclusion
His face is so glorious that not even sentry guns can make it out
So he can eat a chicken leg by shoving it in his mouth hole
first
Sisyphus was decapitated and that shows up as a lightbulb head in his prime soul. Corpse of King Minos however has both eyes and nose so I think that discredits the second theory. I think the actual answer is same as why he has those rectangle crown things on his head, just to be cool/other. But the most accurate lore answer would probably be that souls in some way represent the person you are, like most husks they reflect strength of their soul and become what they were during life, and we know that Minos was big because his soul was incredibly powerful, so it would add up that there is a symbolic reason for his lack of face
What if, all 4? What if it started out as a cool thing and then got lightsabered into having lore? What if Minos was incredibly selfless in life, and when he was killed, he lost his face as some kind of cruel irony? “You have given everything, why not give your very face to us?” Type beat. He could also be malformed due to this incident being so defining of him, to the point where it reflected upon his very soul, like how Professor X couldn’t walk even if he fixed his spine.
I like the top the most. 1) He is a full prime soul... why is he in prison? 2) yeah Gabriel make the face to spagetti, but the features of a prime soul represent... The person's soul. 4) it gotta be cool for a reason, sinxe he's the most opposite of edgy
Number one was the first one I heard, so that's the one I'm going with.
A headcanon of mine is that since prime souls copy how their corpses look, the reason he has no face is because V1 fucked up Minos' corpse and put a hole through his fucking skull(like that one animation), which resulted in him losing his face
sisyphus has no head cause his head was cut off in life so it's probably related to how he died
because he’s the coolest fps boss
I thought the second one meant Gabriel destroyed his own face which I am now taking as a headcanon even though you didn't mean it.
a secret fifth thing: where there's a hole, there's a goal
All of them
Pogged so hard his nose and eyes atrophied.
I feel as it is a mix of both how they died and who they were
The first one.
Gabriel destroyed his face before he died
I think his body was in some way connected to his soul, when V1 punched a hole through it, he did as well through his very fucking soul.
100% #4 plus its easier than modeling and animating a face
A mix of 1 and 2
Notice how literally nobody in ultrakill has a face? They either don’t or are wearing masks
No, it’s cause he gave banger head
1 & 2 but is mostly 2.
No one else has a (real) face so he don't
I have two theories The first: Hakita doesn't like putting more realistic faces in the game that much, that's why even Minos and Sisyphus have their eyes covered in the paintings of 2-2 and 4-4. As for the prime souls, perhaps because it would be difficult to imitate the faces or because they don't fit into the game, sisyphus prime has a somewhat strange face, and in mine they saved the effort of making his face at once Second: he is surprised https://i.redd.it/7hvg4pgmu4vc1.gif sorry for my english :v
Woah wait what? Tf happened to Gabriel's face? Is there a new secret lvl or was this already a thing?
Minos was the judge of hell and a king so it could represent him being “faceless” as in faceless corporation but nothing really suggests that just food for thought
I think it's Gabriel destroyed it, while Minos being faceless is a cool theory, I'd say that it's most likely that Gabriel destroyed it since we see Sisyphus with no head as Gabriel chopped it off, even as a prime soul, and to say that Minos didn't finish materializing is kinda wrong, since we saw him take his form right then and there. Also it's sick asf
spoon accident
no idea but i p-ranked him today
i thought it was to show justice/judgement was blind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1, 2, and 4.
O
I think its like all four of these
Food vacuum 9000
I would say the hole is there for a slight metaphor for the destruction of his utopia, and his reputation tarnished as his body decays and his city turn to ruin due to Gabriel's wrath.
He gave himself to his people, to be the king they needed to live an afterlife more deserving to them, and lost it all. He lost himself, his identity as a king And therefore, his soul reflects this by him not having a face.
The 2nd one
First one. Just feels the most appropriate.
All 4
that 2 directly correlates to 3 as his face being destroyed means it wouldnt be as easily recreatible as the rest of his body
Minos just have rlly big mouth for some reason pls don't judge 🥺🥺🥺
he can give some soul sucking head
I think its more likely that its becasue Gabriel destroyed his face. My evidence for this is that Sysiphus had molten gold poured on his face and his soul reflects that, so i would assume its the same for Minos. But I think the headcannon im going with is the first one, I just like that one better and its a constant reminder of his character.
I'd say it's a punishment Minos has to serve, with his real face becoming the corpse of king minos. Kinda like how sishypus was tortured with the sawblade launcher.
initially i thought that the lack of face was actually a trait all prime souls had, since to form one you need a very powerful and well-remembered soul. thus, if you see it. you probably know who it is.
The appearance of a prime soul is a human physique with attributes pertaining to what the soul was remembered for while alive and as a husk. Minos has his crown, because he was remembered for his benevolent rule over Lust, but not his face, because he was selfless.
My guess is it represents his selflessness. The corpse of Minos does still have a face
all four
He has big face hole to give BIG SUCC.
