@@hartantoanggoro Soma is an Anti-Vampire, the stark opposite of a Vampire. A mortal, and can eat garlic by the bushel just fine. Who also just happens to have the ability to suck in souls instead of blood. Even the souls of vampires!
Let me tell you about Julius Belmont. Dracula was the incarnation of all evil guaranteed to resurrect at least once a century, until he met Julius. When Julius Belmont ices a bitch, he stays dead. Dracula's immortal soul got fucked so hard it reincarnated as a Japanese twink. That's right, Julius gave the lord of darkness the John Numbers treatment. Years later you get to play as Twinkula disciplining your pet castle and wannabe Dracula trying to fill the power vacuula. And it's all pretty tame until you meet Julius FUCKING Belmont, who is pretty FUCKING sure he said No Draculas. Some of you may remember the next part, because if you were young it's where you got your ass kicked to the sound of Julius' personal ass kicking mix. And once you think you've got him down he just uses Grand Cross, instantly kills you, and rips apart the castle in the background just because. So you finally get through all that and become Top Drac, only for Soma's bat-senses to kick in and he comes to a realization: "This motherfucker is sandbagging" "This is the hardest fight in the game and it's just Julius giving up because he feels sorry for me" "This is what Julius throwing a fight looks like" Julius is like "Sorry I only feel comfortable killing vampires not Japanese women" and Soma doesn't correct him, just runs off to punch the castle in the snout until it behaves because Jesus Christ you stony prick you're going to get me killed. And everything's fine until cultists try to get their hands on Dracula's stash again in Dawn of Sorrow. There you have to use touch screen to seal bosses or they'll resurrect indefinitely. Without sealing magic, you can't just murder bosses so hard so hard they don't come back--unless you're Julius Fucking Belmont. Fuck your touchscreen gimmicks, Belmont says. How old is Julius during the games? Late fifties. This is what old and busted Julius Belmont looks like. Julius Belmont in his prime cannot be depicted, for no game can contain him.
Ah Julius, the most powerful Belmont, the one who made Dracula die so hard he had to RE-INCARNATE to come back, he uses Grand Cross and makes the WHOL DAMNED CASTLE start BREAKING APART in the background. After the fight? "you were holding back..." "...yeah, I was."
Julius is fantastic, but he wasn't alone in that fight. Alucard and Japanese Shinto priests were present and assisted in sealing Dracula's castle in the solar eclipse so the 100-year cycle of resurrection would be broken.
@@Z-Man7Not to mention, much older 72 year old Charlotte Aulin. She's more likely the Belnades Descendant that was helping secure the Eclipse (mentioned in Aria and Dawn before Portrait of Ruin came out).
Considering the amount of enemies this game throws at you and how broken you can become, this may be the closest we'll ever get to 1999 Julius strength
They should have realized it back when Simon and Richter were added to smash and sakurai said the composers were excited to remix some of those songs. And 30 or so songs were also in there. We always knew. But everyone else needing constant reminder.... well it's a wonder they aren't ingrained yet.
I love that even in the artwork, Soma looks at Julius with concern, knowing that if he steps out of line, he’s going to get his ass whipped-and not in a good way.
_Antonio's Notes on Interdimensional Allies: Julius Belmont_ "Seemingly the _only_ member of the Belmont clan to have actually killed a vampire definitively. Frustratingly, nobody cares to share any details about this 'War of 1999' where he performed the deed. Why are the details so sparse? Doesn't it seem like critical information to share???"
Dawn of Sorrow's library actually tells that Julius was able to permanently kill Dracula thanks to the Hakuba priests who separated his soul from his castle and sealed it inside the eclipse.
@@djdexcat The Belmont clan as a whole has killed probably tens of thousands of vampires, but only Julius (and that mysterious Hakuba priestess whom I assume died in the battle of 1999) holds the honor of permanently slaying their king

Everytime Dracula hears a Banger Belmont Theme, He knows he isn't got long. But Heart of Fire no doubt would give him serious PTSD would his VS counterpart hear it.
I wonder how many here people know the first part of the remix is from a 1987 arcade Castlevania game called Haunted Castle. The track is called “Don’t Wait Until Night.” Great remix BTW!!!
Funny enough, "夜まで待てない" (Can't wait Until Night) is the actual name of the song (Even the Aria of Sorrow and Harmony of Despair/Smash Ultimate ones), "Heart of Fire" specifically refers to the NES/Famicom track. However people still use "Heart of Fire" internationally.
@@elneco4654 Blame Konami for doing the same. Both the Dominus and Advance collections call it "Heart of Fire". Even the origina Haunted Castle track (which was weird of them).
And there's others who probably might not know that the second half is the part that's actually called Heart of Fire, being featured in the original NES Castlevania from 1987.
I love how Heart of Fire is a medley made up of two older Castlevania tracks, both bangers in their own way but combined make what is the definitive Belmont theme, this song screams determination, fitting for the one who slays Dracula once and for all, Julius.

Since Julius is now on Vampire Survivor I'm gonna believe that this is also his game relating the event of the 99 war, like i imagine that the events of said year happened like VS where he went from the forest through the castle defeating thousands of enemies, getting insanely powerful and ending Dracula for good this time
It feels so good to hear a well made modern re-imagining of the full Aria of Sorrow version of this song. Harmony of Despair had a good remix but it didn't have the full bridge between Can't Wait Until Night and Heart of Fire. And other versions of either song are just one and not the other.

Prime Julius Belmont in '99 would probably only be done justice by a Musou game.
He is the Chuck Norris of Belmonts. Can't even imagine his 1999 fight with dracula
this man called soma TWINKULA 💀
As the old saying goes, "Beware an old man in a profession where they often die young."
And I'm still gunning for a 1999 game.
