Very nice speedruns, thanks for sharing. The intentional use of deaths to restart at the beginning (saving backtracking) is a frequent element, which takes advantage of the fact that you retain all items collected.
I notice that the 1.0 versions are used, so the demons in episodes 2 and 3 succumb to a single hit of the blade. Heck (Episode 2 Level 9) would be far trickier without it! 😛
