Curse of Darkness - The Entirety of Castlevania
I found that apparently the manga didn't end, it was cancelled. It likely intended to adapt the game's story, as well, which would've been fun to see. I don't think the manga was particularly good, honestly, but I would've liked that anyways.
Same deal as Lament here. The gameplay I recorded's mostly in Japanese, so you'll be listening to some JP Hector grunting. I don't think this game's dub is as good as the last one's, but eh. Also sorry for the mouse cursor popping up repeatedly, I was a silly little idiot with OBS.
For anyone looking to get into the game for the first time, I highly recommend this site: tartarus.rpgclassics.com/cv%3Acod/. It's what I used to not be completely lost on t...

    I think it's less of a retcon because the games had no lore or story the team was concrete on. It was bare bones enough to flesh out and allows room for the series to grow as it has and have inbetween points. Getsu Fuma Den is a part of that world, after all. If you've played any of Iga's games, there is more not put in the game than makes it in and how it's implemented is hit or miss. I suppose it was the balance between story and gameplay as I know a fair amount of people get annoyed that Castlevania has story cutscenes in the Igavanias. St. Germaine certainly did have more to him, but it was never realized, shown later. I think it would have added one too many characters in Aria of Sorrow for them from my guess. Whatever he was sent to correct we aren't told as it may be in a timeline he is from something went wrong.

      Oh yeah, agreed. I didn't use the word retcon in a negative way here. But it's true, you can definitely tell there were further plans for Germain. But the series is sort of dead for now, so.

      @@supergamerboy1177 Not necessarily. Castlevania has or metroidvania aren't really made for heavy store exposition. Also remember that nearly all Konami projects involving Castlevania were on a tight budget and deadline, so expecting them to be able to fit that in when they had enough trouble with what made it in is unreasonable. I don't think people realize that the manga is an alternate prequel, not the official one. The one that came with the game, the mini manga by Kojima, was official. We could have gotten nothing as most Castlevania do, but they chose to go into the backstory instead of just give motivation.

      @@blumiu2426 It's important to point out that the CoD manga was still supervised by Igarashi. I would think he'd care at least a little about the integrity of canon, so it does strike me as strange that he would let Sasakura tamper with Julia's death willy-nilly, even if I prefer the stake version from a thematic, historical standpoint. Maybe he didn't pay much mind to some side manga, though. Suppose the Netflix series is the same. Anyways I think I'll talk properly about this in the eventual SoTN video. I have some more considerations to make about Lisa and Julia's deaths, now.

  • @blumiu2426
    @blumiu2426 4 дня назад

    Lisa didn't die at the stake, she was crucified. You saw this plainly in Symphony of the Night when the villagers put her there. The only thing that depicted that was the cartoon in which it got it among many things wrong. Also, there is a contradicting narrative on how Hector came to leave Dracula. In the short manga by Kojima that was given out with the special Japanese edition, it shows him arguing against Dracula's method and Dracula casting him from the castle himself. Hector then wonders away having survived. I guess in the manga he just runs away. The manga also messes up a bit in Isaac's presentation in that they both wore the same uniform. Isaac's only appears that way in the game because he fell to the curse and lost his mind, Igarashi saying that the remains of his outfit displaying this. It wasn't a fashion choice for Isaac.

    • @ClinicalDepressed
      @ClinicalDepressed 4 дня назад

      You're right, her death cause isn't specified. I guess the animated series brainwashed me. Though to be fair, the SoTN scene has never looked like crucifixion for me. She looks to be hanging from the cross, not properly nailed. Yeah, I'm aware of the different version on how Isaac's uniform came to be. I think I mentioned briefly in the Cordova Town section that it could be a symbol for his madness.

      @blumiu2426 4 дня назад

      @@ClinicalDepressed Aside hunting down material that mentions her death, there is the illustration of Dracula with her body, so there was something to bury and body to retrieve after attacking the village/town for what they did. I think a lot of people had the Mandela Effect just seeing her suspended on a piece of wood, and since neither Ellis or showrunner gave a crap about the lore they just went with what was most dramatic. It was never a method of crucifixion that I know of, especially given chain links are used. Even rope was used for the rack, not chain. I guess it was to show visually how she was on the cross or didn't want to show it as cruel as her hands pierced. I should look into the uncensored version and see if different, I don't recall so... I just know no wood pile and it's a crucifix. The interesting thing about Isaac and Hector from IGA is their similarities and differences. They were designed to compliment one another, sharing the red and white hair Romanian vampires are said to have. They had similar childhoods, Isaac and Julia having to run away similar to Hector. I'm not sure there is another villain in the series that just doesn't appear and die, ironically as much as people seem to dislike him (or his look).

      @@supergamerboy1177 The only time she was burned was in the manga, which is considered an alternate telling of past events. The mini manga by Kojima is actually how the events played out, in which she was hanged. And are you getting two thing confused between Hector's love and Dracula's wife? Why wouldn't the succubus know if Dracula knew? They would know why he went after the humans even more than before, it wouldn't be a mystery. Plus, the game isn't trying to play mind games or the like, it would be straight forward. Other material talking about SotN says Lisa was crucified.

    Fun fact the Japanese manual for Cv3 does actually differentiate between Catholic and Eastern Orthodox! In the original version of the story Eastern orthodox calls on the Catholic to find Trevor after Sypha goes missing.

    • @ClinicalDepressed
      @ClinicalDepressed 2 месяца назад

      Checking back on the manual, you're sort of right, though it still strikes me as very weird. The Eastern Orthodox Church is mentioned dispatching armies (which isn't really a thing it can do by itself) and I don't believe Catholicism is ever directly mentioned (not in the translation I'm looking at, at least). The pope is said to be working with the Orthodox right from the get-go, and the manual makes it seem like he's leading it personally, which he wouldn't be (Orthodox barely has a centralized leadership structure, anyway). Well, it's still good to know that the original lore did differentiate. I don't recall the distinction ever mattering again going forward lol.

      @@ClinicalDepressed Considering the time and place at-least they tried lol. As an artist myself I think that Eastern Orthodox has it own awesome aesthetic and way of handling religious artwork that I'd love to see adapted in one of the games. Usually when japan wants to represent western religion it's usually Spanish/Italian Catholicism and I'm assuming because of how bombastic it can be.
