Why Isaac is Castlevania's BEST Character

- I have my 'ums and ahs' with Netflix's animes, however, Castlevania has been a joy to watch, and I wanted to dive into a particular aspect that elevated this show beyond my initial perception of it, as well as looking into this weird phenomenon that is an actually decent videogame adaptation.
I liked Isaac in Season 2, but by Season 3 I loved him. His story became the main point of interest for me. Trevor, Alucard and Sypha became secondary characters in my eyes.
It was the exact same for me isaac was easily my favorite character
The great thing about Isaac is that he has the most complete arc. He's very close to being the protagonist simply because of the depth of his travels and thinking.
I was in a fight with someone on a RUclips video who said hector was stronger??? LIKE DF???
I fell in love with this character since the end of season 2, and constantly worried about his future before the final season came out. His conclusion was more heartwarming than I could've ask for! I was so satisfied to see him smile and proclaim that he'll continue living. It's so sad to finish such a beautiful story, and I hope to see a few Isaac cameos if they make more Castelvania.
I've heard any spinoffs will not involve any of these characters. But regardless, I am happy we got to see his journey through to the end :)
you fell in lov with my cartoon verzion??? a don understan thiz exactle bat ai find it very inter-esting.
Isaac was for sure the MVP… I’ve never falling in love with a side character so hard. He stole the show!
Issac was loyal and saw through everyone's bullshit. He didn't have a specific weakness. He sorta gave up on love because when he showed it, it back fires on him. After Draculas death and defeating Carmella he seems to be the strongest there is. I hope he is in more episodes his path looks interesting.
Hard agree. While my favorite characters are still the main trio because I’m basic as heck, there’s no denying that Isaac had the most complex route of development, and the best growth overall.
Who he was at season 2 and who he ends up as in 4 is so realistic, well-done, and just fascinating to see.
If you’d like to watch more anime, MHA is a good starting point for this era, and you can build up from there!
i love characters like isaac because they can teach or remind you of valuable lessons that are applicable to life itself, like how revenge is a futile endeavour and finding inner peace and love for humanity is important.
Only instead of being BEATEN OVER THE HEAD with said lesson he slowly learns it over the course of the season, with his battle with the Granfaloon and The Vile Sorcerer being the final push that showed him who he would ultimately become if he didn't change his ways
Isaac's story gives me hope.
Me too
Me too
Same here. "I think I'm going to live." What a journey.
As soon as Isaac met Godbrand, he was my favorite. Everything after that just got better and better in my eyes.
Agreed😊
Perfectly summarises one of the most complex and brilliant characters in the whole show.
Isaac is probably my favourite, and though the trio of Trevor, Sypha and Alucard are the heart of the show, Isaac's exploration of purpose, revenge and religion, and his just/righteous vengeance are incredibly satisfying to watch. He is an incredibly intelligent and courageous leader that is wracked by extreme emotional devastation and trauma, but still manages to stay in control. The scenes with his night creatures (fly eyes in particular) elevate this to one of the most intelligent adult animations I have ever watched. Isaac is a king
Isaac is THE sigma male
In a video detailing his character, I find it dissapointing that the conversation with the Captain, and Shop Keeper weren't highlighted
Thank god they redesigned him.
His original design from the games is .... okay at best. He looks amazing in this show.
Great video, it makes me happy to find others that enjoy characters for their intellectual journey. Keep this up and you´ll find greatness.
Isaac had the best character growth imo and when he was on while you never really supported his motives or even him it was so interesting to watch as he meets these people
thanks for giving light to this great character
i love this man im a simp for issac
I simp sooo hard for him!
Like the way Isaac change he didn’t want the revenge against hector he chose to forgive him , I wanted a scenario like as carmilla want to own the whole world but Isaac can change her like she want the revenge against man and she wants freedom
Yo is your channel new? This some high quality entertainment. Good stuff man
Just a hobby, but would gladly turn it into something more should people show interest :)
I wonder how video game isaac would have looked like in the Netflix version
Man this channel is underrated
I mean was there really any doubt that he was the shows best character
Such a deep character nd a bonafied badass! he has the nº1 place for sure
He had the most progression
When The Captain and Isaac first encounter each other, The Captain already knows that Isaac is a forge master, without being introduced as a forge master by Isaac, himself. In a later episode, Isaac then reveals that he is a forge master, much to the surprise of The Captain. The correlation between the former & latter conversations are anachronistically askew.
No, your memory is slightly off and the whole thing is more subtle. I'll argue it's not "anachronistically (contradictory) askewed"
When they first meet, The Captain hints that from his experience in being a sailor he knows that the "beasties" with Issac are actual demons and he knows to an extent Forge-Masters somehow control/command demons. However, it doesn't mean The Captain knows the specifics of the sorcery specifically how it works exactly. Later on in the more awesome Captain's Cabin chat; Issac mentions how The Merchant cracked a joke about wanting to be owed a favor from a Forge-Master so he can be saved from Hell. At that point, Issac explains to The Captain's questioning that his field of magic works because he uses his own humanity to pull souls out of Hell and brings them back into the mortal world by putting them into new bodies he "forges" for them (he forges demons by saving souls from Hell, he doesn't merely summon them). It's tacitly stated without being directly said that The Captain thought Forge-Masters simply controlled demons and/or didn't really fully comprehend what it meant to summon a demon from Hell: not that in one scene he knows exactly what a Forge-Master is then contradictory didn't know what a Forge-Master is at all due to bad writing.
If I can give an analogy (best example right now in my head) - let's say you know what an Intensivist is. You might know and understand that an Intensivist is a Doctor that is a specialist in treating critically-ill patients. However, you might not be aware and realize that a lot of Intensivists are also specialists in understanding/treating the Respiratory-System (breathing, lungs, etc.) because they usually deal with patients that have to be on ventilators (machines that control almost every single complicated aspect/detail of breathing to a certain extent). You were not fully aware that an Intensivist treats critically-ill patients by being an expert on their ability/need to breathe; you knew they dealt with critically-ill patients though. The Captain knows the general idea of an "Intensivist", but not the exact specifics of being an "Intensivist".
Personally, I really like this subtly between Isaac's and The Captain's interaction because you can see that part (breaking down of what a Forge-Master really does) as a building-up metaphorical presupposition to what The Captain is trying to teach to Isaac. Isaac has this amazing level of skill and knowledge that requires his use of humanity to work that most people, including Isaac himself, focus on the terrible possibility of (summoning demons that can cause destruction). Meanwhile, The Captain emphasizes his seemingly terrible skill and knowledge can surprisingly be used to save people (souls) from "Hell" (Issac can teach people to be better and make the world a less hellish place). We see that come into fruition in Season 4, especially when Flyseyes is questioning him about why he is using his Demons other than being mindless tools for destruction.
Isaac so powerful he summon omega shenron
i Wonder what people who met Isaac through the Netflix series think about curse of darkness isaac
They would dismiss the original one without actually looking into why he's the way he is.
I ♥️ both
[Spoilers]
When he busted out his faith in a heroic way, subverting the 'nature' of the power he'd been given...
"hell will be empty, and the gates will rattle in the wind."
F*ing goosebumps.
[More Spoilers]
I mean an implied gay Sufi Muslim black dude going full force redemption arc and ending at 'I'mma rehabilitate the denizens of HELL ITSELF' is not something I expected.
9:47 i failed to understand how it's bad to focus on racism in watchmen instead of generalized hatered. i think watchmen had a bunch of problems but that wasn't one of them
Representation is an interesting topic to handle, and I think the HBO Watchmen series misses the mark with its themes. If you've seen my video on it, I'd recommend watching the video I link to in it, because there it is articulated more in depth than I ever could.
Isaac is Forgotten Realms version of Jarlaxle.
Part of the pacing issue is on netlfix decisions is that they want little episodes as possible and usually want one or two plots within that same time frame. Creating a lot of shows with pacing issues. Castlevania isn't the only one that suffers a very linear and small episode count.
The most interesting
good video. but whats the song at the end of it?
You don't watch anime? You're missing out. A lot of anime are really great, close to what I've been hear recently as *peak fiction.*
As a dude who has experiences in many different mediums and genres, I find it hard to say anything is peak fiction. There’s so many different goals that fiction can have it’s really hard to decide what the best is.
@@thomasffrench3639 it's quite easy for anime when compared to other media
@@blueblade6174 bro saying most anime is better than The Wire and The Godfather is honestly laughable. “You heard it here first, Isekai anime is better than The Godfather.”
@@thomasffrench3639 how about you stop being petty and don't put words in my mouth?
@@blueblade6174 you said it was easy for anime to be better than western media when half of it is Isekai and harem garbage. I’m not saying it’s all bad, but to label it easy to beat other media, I should be able to take any anime against anything from the west.
It ain't pacing issues, it's anti-narrative
what’s the ending music? sounds amazing
The only time race swapping worked
word
Miles and Aqualad would like to have a word with you.
@@TheZeroDestroyer lol fair ‘nough
@@TheZeroDestroyer miles is his own character though.
@@TheZeroDestroyer i wouldnt say that worked.
Im the 100th subs hahaha
I'm honoured :)
Sypha and Isaac are the absolute best. Isaac is easily the most compelling character, but Sypha is just the best character while on screen.
_Why Isaac is Castlevania's BEST Character_
*Not The Captain or Lenore*
>:(
Castlevania, the show, as the game made something almost revolutionary. I personally dislike modern shows just because of the forced LGBTQ+ characters that feel forced into the shows that lack any form of personality other than, their gender or smexual orientation. HOWEVER, this is, the perfect exemple on how to do an LGBT character and make it lovable. Isaac is obviously gay, yet this was never the main focus of his role in the show. He is a dark skin character, however this never mattered and it was never the focal point. Personally, I have have Isaac as my fav character in the show and I firmly believe that this is how characters should be written. First give them a character and a purpose, not just an empty shell that should be liked only based on his smexual orientation.
With all due respect.
wha thiz karakter iz like me a dont anderstand....som ouan better explen to mi wot iz goin on heear.
"not enough character development" is the most hackneyed, lazy, basic bitch criticism. This guy has a lot of strong opinions considering he admits he didn't bother with any of the source material and doesn't even watch anime. I'm glad I didn't commit any data to this. Yuck.
That's like telling someone who has just seen the Lord of the Rings films that their opinion is void because they haven't read the books. Hope you find that stick bro. Strawman somewhere else please :)
Castlevania isnt anime. Its an american show written by a british writer.
Doesn’t matter the show is heavily HEAVILY BASED ON A SERIES BASED ON Japan game franchise and the animation well the animation style they chose doesn’t really help the team of not an anime
lets just say I have seen anime with very similar to similar of art style type of animation I can’t tell them apart at all if they where trying not to make a dark fantasy that doesn’t look like anime well with the art style pallet they went with well then let’s just say THEY F UP!
But that’s all iam going to say.
And the art desing,influenced by anime
