[[YankTheDogsChain B.L. then forces them back to Hell out of spite for losing]].

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Dan's song at the end is overwhelmingly passionate that it causes the sycophantic and slimy Weez to shed a tear out of joy and declare Jan innocent.
** It also causes the jurors, noted by Dan to be corrupt owners of record companies, amoral business agents, and scornful- who have suitably warped appearances- to turn briefly into much more appealing appearances. The implication is that the song somehow reawoke the original passion they had for music before they let the dark side of business jade them. Which makes B.L.'s returning them to Hell all the more crueler and spiteful.

** Just when Jan is experiencing a high in her career, B.L. literally chases out of her own concert in the form of increasingly dangerous animals as she flees for her life. Just when she finds some relief in escaping, B.L. shows up and tells the already-shaken Jan that he owns her soul and that he'll take her to hell if she doesn't find someone to save her. When she attempts to find help from her band, they callously ditch her due to apparently being behind in her payments.
