"Uh, Heil Hitler?

The lobby receptionist for the 4-cent_garbage.com Building, Beel is a red humanoid with devil horns and wings. Whether or not he is supposed to be the Devil (i.e. Satan), some minor demon, or simply a man who looks like a devil is uncertain.

Appearances in Sonichu

Beel's first appearance was as an unnamed receptionist in Sonichu #8. When Sonichu and Rosechu arrive at the 4-cent_garbage Building for their appointment with Jason Kendrick Howell, he directs them to the top floor, which he idiosynchratically describes as "66+6". When Sonichu clarifies that this is simply the 72nd floor, Beel becomes annoyed and shoos the Electric Hedgehog Pokemon on their way. Sonichu takes umbrage with Beel's unprofessional conduct, until Rosechu reminds him of the story of Joseph.

Beel would return in Sonichu #10, this time serving in a more active role as Jason's agent. When Chris-Chan Sonichu arrives at the 4-cent_garbage Building to destroy it, Jason traps him in a cage, and Beel attempts to steal the Medallion from him, thinking it to be the source of his powers. However, to the surprise of everyone, Chris discovers his powers in fact stem from his High School Ring, which he uses to retrieve his Medallion and defeat the demonic henchman.

Possible Gay Subtext

Despite Chris's repeated distaste for homos, as well as male nudity in general, it is curious that he would depict Beel as a fairly attractive male, wearing nothing but a pair of upsetting cut-off blue jean shorts. This may be Chris's ham-fisted attempt to literally demonize homosexuality, or the expression of his unconscious lust for big, half-naked, muscular men. Hell, just look at the guy:

This naughty devil has a special package just for you.

Further, When Chris zaps him with a Hyper Beam attack, Beel utters the censored expletive "Oh, C***!", suggesting that Beel may wish to savor the delicious taste of cocks before his utter destruction. Other interpretations may be possible, but this seems to be the author's original intention.
