That’s really why I love this fight in particular , you really feel the generals were another solid team with awesome chemistry, Trevor is just a Belmont and you can’t make one mistake against him or you get one shot as seen so many times.
Love how Trevor’s first choice after losing his magical vampire killing weapons is to run up and start beating the shit out of them with his very normal, very human fists.
I mean he fucks up at least 3 other monsters bare handed in the series. Off the top of my head, he makes two of the monstwrs in the belmont hold stagger, with unarmed attacks, and he rips the throat of a werewolf open. After that shit, I'd be quite confident in my fists
I love that Sypha is not "support" kind of magician, who usually only heals and creates barriers to protect main characters. Huge respect for creators for that.
I always felt as a character in a show she was OP as fuck, she doesnt ever seem to get tired, has unlimited powers and can fire them at seemingly max power constantly. Yeah it looks amazing and creators did great with her fighting style but, why is no one questioning how unrealisitic her powers are? Lol its like shes a demi god but human
@@rowan1275 well her powers are more to do with mana/energy manipulation than anything physical. So maybe she doesn't get tired because she us just weaving and bending the elements to her will. Unlike Belmont who is using physical prowess and martial arts and Alucard who is using swordsmanship.
I think it was more that trevor just gave sypha an opening to cut their numbers in half so that trevor could stop getting 2v1ed since the 2 fighting trevor were quite weak individually They were all killed after getting caught off guard so they were outsmarted more than anything
All it takes in a fight is one moment. The vamp going after Sypha went for a torturous spell over a deadly one. That was the mistake, and Trevor capitalized.
I mean, I think the thing Trevor showed throughout the series was a head for tactics. He doesn't have magic, or hyper speed, or shape shifting telekinetic sword wielding. But he does have an eye for openings, how to create them and how to exploit them.
My fav part of this is the fact that Dagan's armor actually tanks hits. And the fact that if not for his armor he would've died a LOT sooner. Also the consistency of how his armor works. The Morningstar bounces off the plate but penetrates the chainmail on his arm, since the plate covering THAT part was knocked off by Alucard. And Alucard is the only one able to knock off pieces of the armor as he's the physically strongest in the group. Too many times is Armor COMPLETELY ineffective in Anime and in movies, not to mention inconsistent AF.
I mean, that's the whole point of armor and why humans have worn some form of armor in battle for thousands of years....If more vampires simply wore armor and fought in unison, they might have been able to take down the main trio. Imagine if Isaac had to face carmilla, morana and striga in armor together in that room....the fight would have gone a lot different.
@@aldaynehall7865 nah. thats how you layer it irl. wool/gambeson, chain, plate. the chain covers your body in between the segmented parts of the plat armour.
@aldaynehall7865 Surprisingly little actually. While the total weight of plate, male, and gambeson might sound like a lot it’s distributed throughout the entire body. It’s actually entirely possible to do cartwheels in the full set up with a few weeks of training. Knights in full plate would’ve been rather useless if they couldn’t stand upright.
There is definitely HEAVY ATLA inspiration in her movements. Every time she was flying around with the fire jets, I had flashbacks to Ozai in the final fight with Aang. Her ice movements are like a combination of waterbending and earthbending and her lightning is taken straight from Avatar. I love her.
- Fast paced with enough emphasis and time given to inform the viewer about the rules each combatant is operating by without bogging things down by over-explaining. - Really creative power use. - Combat is visceral; everyone is 100% trying to kill each other. - It's not done in a vacuum; the environment influences the action, as does the flow of battle. Castlevania truly has become a masterclass for fantasy action.
Facts! The last time I saw an anime that did this was Darker than Black that's so obscure and forgotten now. Pretty much every fighting anime has to stop every couple of moves to explain every fucking thing; gods I hate that shit
@@couragew6260 Yeah after watching Castlevania, Fate/Stay(too some extent), Darker than black, Black Lagoon etc. Its just that fights are more real when they are actually fighting without talking much. Because who shouts what they are going to do before they do it?
There is nothing that annoyed me about this series. No clichés, no stupid bad guys, no attacking one by one, no overpowered characters, realistic weak points, realistic strategies, realistic violence, realistic love, banter, humour, greed, revenge stories, relatable villains, stellar music, stellar voice acting, stellar parallel and converging storylines and, excluding a bit of season 2, excellent pacing and balance between tension/exposition/fight/calmness. This show is forever in my heart.
Especially the banter "Lucky I decided against killing you and eating you, Belmont." "And that I decided against gutting you, flaying you, and turning you into shoes, Alucard." "What a merry band we are..."
Season 3 was disappointing and the only part that was interesting was Isaac's story tbh, but this show is still what all animated shows should strive to be like if they intend on having action scenes
@@sgt.krakatoa1093 Plot armor is too OP. But yeah, the fight this time around is much more realistic and entertaining, unlike that one time when the trio just easily curbstomped the whole army of vampires along with their generals.
Being able to consistently show off each party member’s skill and specialty without pulling focus to another character is very impressive. I applaud the animators who did this very chaotic fight scene so visually appealing.
I love Trevor as a character. You can see that, being a man with no special powers, he struggles in combat more than his two comrades _physically_ (his body gets more worn down with each fight), but he is a brilliant tactician and an excellent fighter.
So, did anyone else notice that Dragan did the anti-superhero landing? Legs locked completely straight, no bended knees, no fist to the ground, just landing as hard as possible to prove a point. What an absolute TANK
“We are but men, drawn to act in the name of revenge that we deem to be justice. But if there is justice in revenge, then that same justice will breed only more revenge and trigger a cycle of hatred.”
This is just one of the greatest animated fights ever. The choreography, the teamwork, the vampire flippin ripped his arm off before it detonated and chucked it like a damn grenade. This needs to be a video game
@@mac9365 lol I know about the games. It's one of my favorite series. I meant we need a game based off of the show. With Trevor, sypha and alucard playable. And not just a regular vania, but a 3D action game with all the flashy attacks, open areas, team attacks and all the other cool stuff present in the show
Makes you realize that instant weapon mastery is an incredibly underrated strength in a fantasy setting as long as you can make BS overpowered magical weapons. That guy mastered that boomerang 2 seconds after discovering it. With the morning star whip, he has more AOE damage than Alucard. Not to mention faster cast time than Sypha's fire and ice.
What I find especially impressive about the action in this series is that you can follow it. No matter how quick things get during a fight, I can always figure out who’s where and what to focus on. The animation is stellar and the choreography is some of the best I’ve seen, animation or otherwise.
I genuinely wish the action was as easy to follow as Transformers. It was a great action movie, but the action sequences were just too convoluted to follow.
@orangesoda4535 That's actually a good scene. It lets us know that Dragan is not a dumb goon that would let his pride get the best of him and that Saint Germain has so much leverage that he can do whatever he wants.
Yeah, no shit. I don't think a single other vampire managed to hold all three of them off for this long. I mean, we know Dracula could, and probably Varney, but Dragan *does*.
Am I the only one surprised by how tanky Dragan was in this? Like goddamn apparently he has abs made of steel if he's stopping Alucard with them alone.
@@m1dnight426 yeah but Trevor was 2 vs 1 Sypha fought a. Stronger magic user Vampire girl only had her skill and almost beat alucard who is extremely op.
I feel like string vampire and ghost vampire were the most badass. I feel like bone vampire and dagger vampire were absolutely useless. The group probably would have been screwed if anyone else fought them or if the main guy actually joined in the fight instead of just sitting there watching Still great fight don’t get me wrong
Makes you wonder why the hell the generals who were with Dracula were such shitty fighters in season 2. If all these fighters from season 4 were at Dracula side back then, the heroes would have died in season 2.
In the off chance that you want a legitimate answer, *Naruto spoiler* Tobi rips off his own arm when it gets infected by super venomous nano insects, and he kicks the arm at one of the guys he's fighting.
"I terrify them, Sypha disorients them, Alucard goes over the top, and we support him". Trevor put some fear in him by blowing off his armor and arm, Sypha disoriented him with fire, Alucard went over the top to finish him, then got assisted with the killing blow.
If you notice Sypha chipped off some of the armor first with her icicles to which Alucard followed and took it off completely allowing Trevor to get a clean hit. Great details!
Okay, but can you imagine how scared Alucard must have been considering what he went through in Season 3 and being bound like that again with a sharp object coming at him to kill him? It must have been reassuring knowing he had his friends there this time to help him though.
I really loved the characterization of the vampires in this scene. They are so distinct from the vampires in Dracula's court, but it makes sense because they aren't military leaders or rulers...they are the most devout, twisted followers of Dracula who would test the limits of alchemy to resurrect him. If vampire society is the internet they are dark web.
I often see people type about how the power creep retroactively made the generals in season 1 & 2 weaker than these season 4 generals. But you provided a really good justification. Dracula could be a classic vampire with a conventional court of underlings. Perhaps Dracula do not like the idea of these twisted monsters. But there is no excuse for Dragan. He seems to have a classic skill set and is ridiculously powerful. He should have been on Dracula's court from the start.
@@yiklongtay6029 he might've turned Dracula down for one reason or another. The show has said vampires really REALLY respect Dracula, but they also can respectfully decline stuff without him getting mad.
Realistically, given how Dagan was able to hold his own for a while against their 3v1 assault, it's unlikely that any of the trio alone could have taken him down. Mad respect to Dagan.
Late but I also think it's because of how he fought. The other monsters and vampires in the series usually fall back on their magic and enhanced physical abilities. Dagan on the other hand, wears armor. Heavy armor, took at least a direct hit from morning star to break it. His weapon, almost mirrors the two weapon users of the group. A heavy morning star used to create distance when needed and be unpredictable. Heavy enough to do damage and break ice. While he still honed his body. Hell the only one as muscular that we've seen is God brand and as tall is dracula. Fantastic bad guy. Loved what they did with him
I think due to his melee combat nature Trevor would've been the closest match but he has Alucard and Sypha in the bag. And that's really cool since all three of them barely lose.
Okay, not even speaking to the actual fight against Dragan, but fuck did they actually have a solid strategy for these three. From the way it looks, they paired each of the trio against a threat that could suppress the main talents of each. Alucard, a monster of a close combat specialist, was paired against a woman who knew how to force the fight to a more comfortable range, all while using CC techniques to restrict his movement. Sypha was paired against the one thing she doesn't have much experience with, a sorcerer that actually matches her level. Her reflexes are geared toward fast, low-level magic. Of course she'd struggle there. And Trevor? You DON'T come at a Belmont alone. So they send two specialists to deal with the specialist. Given their apparent powersets, they prey on his primary weaknesses: projectiles, and numbers. It was only after Trevor actually used his own brain that he realized this himself. So what did he immediately do? Did what he does best, and incapacitated the sorcerer for a killshot. Sypha then followed through by gutting the vamp lady's range, and Alucard used his monstrous talent for combat and annihilated one of the specialists. And you know... You don't come at a Belmont alone.
it almost seems like creators were thinking through the entire storyline to minute detail, while actually putting a good writing effort even in action scenes. A rarity these days indeed.
I think one of the reasons Sypha was outmatched at first is because the sorcerer could freely fly around and pursue her while still being able to use both hands to cast.
High level DnD mages can create dimensions, kill people with a single word, stop time and more. Let's not even talk about the insanity that is wish... I don't think going from that to Avatar is an upgrade, lol. (Yes yes I know, you were talking about blasting stuff with spells. I just found it funny since I feel that a lot of people don't realize how insane the things that high level DnD mages can do truly are.)
@@Imnospy ya you have a point here. DnD casters can be more powerful than a natuto kage. Madara beat all 5 kage at once and basically had the meteor swarm spell. I think itd be a pretty even fight. Add magic items in and they would have little chance of winning. Wizard using invincibility: fight over They could literally take madaras meteor to the face and be fine
What I love about these three is: Without Sypha, Trevor and Alucard would have died. Without Alucard, Sypha and Trevor would have died. Without Trevor, Alucard and Sypha would have died. Each member is so crucial for success in fights like this. Each member is so vitally important. Each member covers someone's weakness. Each member is VITAL.. They're really the perfect trio. :)
Mmmm. Alucard probably could've beat Dragan by himself but to be honest it would've been a really rough fight. However yeah Trevor and Sypha definitely would lose to Dragan on their own.
I love how much sense the scaling here makes. The council they killed in season 1 were good but not too hard for the power trio because they’re more advisors and logisticians etc. Dragan and these others were the frontline generals and mages. Much more dangerous in a straight up fight.
@@bgill6623 a badass viking who wasn't out doing any of the things a Viking is good at... I have my suspicions that maybe Godbrand wasn't as great as he thought he was
@@Pezantri even Dracula mocked godbrand, he was just a boastful, has-been Viking probably, not that great in his human days, even worse in his vampire days.
2:47 - I love the way Sypha casts this lightning spell here. It's like drawing and loosing a bow string and it's just so unique. The somatic parts of her spells in this series is one of my favourite parts, among many.
It doesn't stop being funny to me when Trevor Belmont just starts fist fighting vampires. Or like when he loses his weapons and just starts picking up random things to fight. And WINS
I think the advantage in this is that his enemies never expect it. You are that powerful vampire lord or general, you have disarmed this puny human, and suddenly, he come straight at you and sucker punch you. Most humans at this point shiver in fear or run.
What I love about this scene is it not only shows competent enemies, but the fact that it’s not the powers or raw ability of the Belmonts that allowed them to overcome vampires and monsters, but instead their ingenuity and initiative
The Belmonts are most known for hunting the creatures that hunted humans in the night. And they will allow themselves to die by the hands of humans but won't stop hunting their prey until they themselves die.
I thinks it accurately told. The real battles were fought back then, the newer generation grew comfortable. As bane told Batman *victory has defeated you* The new cast will get stronger over time
Why is no one talking about the team work? Even in the fight against Dracula they were all mostly doing their own thing towards a common goal. Here they are supporting each other non stop
They are, though, you just haven't scrolled much. Also, the fights up to Dracula and against him were still very team oriented, they played as a group and off each other really well.
That's the most logical thing to do any experience fight would do, they aren't trying to play hero or take the glory they just wanna get it done and go have a drink
Can we just put some respect on Trevor for the amount of trust he had to show when he threw that knife boomerang thing? Like he threw that knowing it would leave him defenseless, but he knew Sypha was going to let them come back from being pretty much against the wall
After watching Nocturne and seeing how messy and unexperience the main group are at fighting and making decisions, this is so satisfying to watch. It also shows you how f skilled this trio was.
I'm having the same feelings, seeing this after watching Nocturne. Also, realizing how Sypha outclasses most other humans, it makes more sense when Richter lights the river on fire.
@@solol2909 clown. in season one trevor drunk and sad asf fking kill a lot of vampires like nothing lol and he dont even have magic only the that dawg in him the only one with the panties in a twist s you lol you can take the facts
@@solol2909 i mean trevor sypha and alucard were pretty damn well coordinated in season 1 of thier show though so that really doesnt hold much water here
I mean, yeah, Tera definitely hasn't seen as much combat as her plus lived a very different life. Richter only just got his magic back and we had a brief scene of Julia. They're not gonna have fights with this same level of brutality or power involved every time.
It is rare for an anime. This is an american made one so.. Fr tho id just hate when people starts talking during the fight, i mean just let me enjoy the animation pls
@@ajinurfajri1952 you should watch kings avatar anime. Japanese tv shows movies and anime are pretty decent but i dk why the long ass talk especially during fights? Pre fight and post fight. The worse is tons of animes is about fan service now. American and chinese anime are over taking japanese in fight scene.
@@WestbrickFansGotNoBrains u lie bruh chinese not Americans their animations are trash don't compare 60% Korean workof Castlevania to anime bruh Castlevania is the only better show in the west
@@derrickzadok2440 i dont particular love this show like hardcore fan. But i click on ur profile. U super hated this show despite the animations and fights were awesome. No long ass pre talk, talking too much during figjts and post talk. Then figjt again and more talks. Casfing spells doesnt need long ass chant. Some japanese animes have this ans its abit annoying. Overall castlevania was a very old game tjat decide to do adapation which is turning out to be very well. And i hope u can read and dont get so butthurt. I said starting to overtake, not took over. And dont mention new kids ben 10 or new teen titan nonsense. Omniman, justice league was all pretty good. Go watxh kings avatar to season 2. Its like the level sao never been able to reach. But alot people hated china so they womt watch their show. But im from s multi- racial multi religious country so i watched. Not gonns lie its damn awesome that it puts sao to shame because that was the level sao was suppose to reach the level.
@@WestbrickFansGotNoBrains erhm did you watch alicization and the underworld arc with the back of your head cause alicaztion is way way better that this in terms animation the quality was godlike adn the sound effects were omg crazy af.so wht u on bro?
This and Isaac vs Carmilla were the best fights scene in the whole season, if not, the whole series in my opinion! These Vampire generals actually stood a good chance against our main trio.
0:15 the monster sypha is fighting is a refrence to castlevania circle of the moon and its the second boss monster you will fights and its called "necromancer"
What I really love throughout the series that Sypha is not some ice witch women character that freeze enemy legs for 3 seconds, got hit and passed out. But Trevor and Alucard can really lose the battles without her
I think the shows points out numerous times without directly telling you that each character is op in their own right but would be dead without the other two.
I like how this is just them vs the Generals from season 2 but even more intense. Like respect to Dracula's council for the fight they put up, but this crew here damn near killed the power trio, and Dragan put up a hell of a fight on his own (sure was nice of him to wait his turn though, but then again from what little we saw it looks in character for him). I mean it makes sense, with how crazy things are and all the scheming vampires do, that only the toughest would make it this far or assemble such a force.
I imagine with that weapon of his it’s more suited to just him fighting. I mean look at the area it covered. He probably wasn’t worried about his subordinates either since they had the trio on the ropes until the split second turn around by Trevor.
OK but also in contrast to season 2 our trio are mentally and in Trevor and syphas case physicaly exhausted from weeks of fighting without rest and probably not enough food and repeatedly seeing just horrifying stuff Alucard is still starting to recover from sumi and taka and though having a purpose helps and Greta and his best friends are back there's still a mad man magician trying to drag his parents from the afterlife into a hermaphrodite body to enact some crazy shit so he's still a bit of his game
I never get tired of how badass Sypha's fighting style is. Most of her opponents could crush every bone in her body with one blow and she still chooses to fight at close range instead of being the stereotypical ranged support. She basically fights like video game character without benefits of video game character like large hp bar and continues
@@davidevans7477 It's sad how no Avatar shown in the actual series presented Sypha's level of skill with the elements. I mean she combined fire, ice, and lightning in ways that would put Aang and Korra to shame.
@@EmptyMan000 Lol Aang to shame? Aang's creativity with his fights with air bending alone is peak bending skills, coupled that with his creativity with earth and water bending with a little fire bending then he isn't at all inferior to Sypha. Not to mention Aang is 12 and he's already in that mastery level
@@EmptyMan000 I mean in their defense, Aang was only 12 and was still learning the elements, and Kora was only 16 just learning to bend her last element. There’s definitely different power scales in the Castlevania Universe as well.
@@EmptyMan000 Aang split ships in half during the Northern water tribe invasion. Korra can create a giant avatar of herself with energy capable of destroying a small city. Aang summoned an entire sandstorm that would engulf the desert he was in had he continued. Aang split and destroyed an entire city block of barracks in one earth bending attack.
The choreography of the fight is spectacular. It fits the characters as they have been shown to act, and gives a great sense of how well they know each other.
Apparence wise, yeah, but I think the comic style works better in animation, in the movies they would need to either have to change it or heavily stylize it, 2017 tried but didn't worked. But now to think about it, Netflix has Henry, Zack and castlevania's animation studio, might as well do something about it, like a New Gods animation mini series in this style could be really cool.
It took me almost an hour to watch this episode for how amazingly choreographed it was. Structurally, it was a great series of scenes. First, the reuniting of the trio. Taking on a horde as a team with the main theme playing. Awesome. Then they separate, each taking on a small group and a mini boss with unique abilities. Then they regroup to take on a competent enemy squad, who actually give them a run for their money. However, with one act of teamwork, they’re able to knock down the threat like dominos. Then Dragan. It’s the last time we see them fight as a group and it’s an absolute spectacle. And this is before Trevor takes on the big boss, literally calling out Death himself. This whole episode was fucking incredible.
@@bukojoetheslapsoils8273 True. If this was a game Dragan would be the tricky boss you have to beat with skill, whereas Death would be an easier but more cinematic final boss.
Ah yes leon belmont... those who only know castlevania via the show sympatizes with dracula... they dunno why the belmonts and dracula are at war in the first place.. what happened to lisa was actually karma for dracula
This is how fight should be, short, intense, and characters making split second decision. Japan anime fight is good but sometimes it takes too long and too much talking.
The sheer compatibility and intuitiveness in their fighting styles is beautiful. They seamlessly switch opponents after freeing each other without any verbal communication and they never get hit by each other's attacks (like they did in the fight with Dracula). It's like they were never separated. It's not only a great animated fight scene, but a demonstration of how they work as a team.
I love that despite all his upgrades he still carries his old whip. It's like when you have your starter weapon but you keep it after getting new ones because you maxed it out
@@Z-Man7 yes. Because it's consecrated. It can be done to any ordinary weapon. Nothing to do with old treasures. He literally said it himself, should have watched attentively.
I think he wouldn't be able to deal with the purple energy vampire in a 1v1. She had too much mobility. If facing the wires vampire, he'd probably be able to cut the wires with his combat cross. But it could also get tangled like Alucard's sword. I'll say that the chance of winning a 1v1 is 50/50. He really faced the two worst members of the 4.
Ya, Gerhmain is a verified king of cuckatry. He almost brought about the end of the world, if Trevor didn't stop the defiled revival of Dracula. All that, to just see his lady again.... Of course he deserves to be rejected. Pathetic.
They didnt kill Dracula..did you even watch the show? Dracula was weak as shit for not having drank blood for months, and he was beating them all without trying. In the end Dracula basically did suicide/allow himself to be killed
@@jasoncruz19800 NOTORIOUS! As in they are KNOWN FOR doing it, not necessarily doing it. No one but them and drac are privy the the details of the castle fight. Are you special or just decided to turn off your brain when writing this comment?
Not to mention they where much more powerful, skilled, and coordinated fighting Dragan than when they fought Dracula! Its like, all three where at max level cap by this point.
This is in indeed a boss battle and they capture the essence of what it means to be a team ...there's no talking in a middle of a battle ...no filler cut scenes ..just straight up..let's get this done...they took away his defense as well as his options ...now that's what I call a battle
Love how they showed why there's a reason why vampires are afraid of the Belmonts. Trevor got both is teammates out of jams in 2 moves without injuring himself too much.
I love how people explain Syphas magic. It just lends into that imagination in a world full of magic and its awesome. I'd take it Speaker mages in this world are supposed to be incredibly powerful and she shows that. I love how they lowkey develop combat wise through the series.
Dragan easily the second most powerful vampire behind Dracula. He was so cool and overconfident that he didn't even feel the need to intervene at first. But every vampire that had wings in this series was really on another level
dragan is not even an elder vampire. he's comparable to striga but the 2nd most powerful vampire is alucard himself. You may see him as not that powerful in this show simply because the dude is just 9 years old!
I must agree it took 3 of them to defeat him and the Morningstar whip didn’t radiate to his whole body. Only other person able to tank it was Dracula himself. Also watch how he swatted away sypha’s fire. I love Isaac but I highly doubt he’d be able to defeat him
Something I love about fights in this show specifically is how literally nobody talks. It's just combat, power ups, grunts, and action. If this were a shonen anime they'd do a weird slomo / struggle sequence to explain the reasoning behind the attack every 3 seconds.
Sypha is so badass I’m so happy they include a lot of her in battles compared to many others that kind of have the females support but little screen time. It’s so interesting seeing her abilities strengthen the team
One of my favorite fights from the whole show. Takes all 3 of them to take down Dragan as they chip away at his armor with each epic hit. 0:41 and this guy with agility maxed out. Dodging all 3 of Trevor's attacks nope, nope, aaaand nope! Lol what a badass.
Let's just aprecciate how much of a power beast Dragan is. The last vampire to hold his grounds against those three was bloody Dracula Tepes! (a nerfed, starving and suicidal one, but still him)

The silent conversation there:
"This is a bad matchup."
"Trade?"
"Trade."
they have team chat
trevor changed to hand to hand combat with his opponent who specialize with throwing knives smart move
That’s really why I love this fight in particular , you really feel the generals were another solid team with awesome chemistry, Trevor is just a Belmont and you can’t make one mistake against him or you get one shot as seen so many times.
Yes exactly!!!
How did you guys like the finale?

Review & Recap !

Love how Trevor’s first choice after losing his magical vampire killing weapons is to run up and start beating the shit out of them with his very normal, very human fists.
Gigachad.
Do you not remember when Trevor punched Dracula
@@jacobgra5 ...and how useless and pointless it ended up being?
I mean he fucks up at least 3 other monsters bare handed in the series.
Off the top of my head, he makes two of the monstwrs in the belmont hold stagger, with unarmed attacks, and he rips the throat of a werewolf open.
After that shit, I'd be quite confident in my fists
@@cherryflavouredfighter You know what? You're right. I forgot about those times he kicked ass with his bare fists. Thanks for reminding me.
I love that Sypha is not "support" kind of magician, who usually only heals and creates barriers to protect main characters. Huge respect for creators for that.
Black Mages rise up
Yup she is a straight up battle mage.
Screw white mages. Speaker Magicians are where it’s at.
I always felt as a character in a show she was OP as fuck, she doesnt ever seem to get tired, has unlimited powers and can fire them at seemingly max power constantly. Yeah it looks amazing and creators did great with her fighting style but, why is no one questioning how unrealisitic her powers are? Lol its like shes a demi god but human
@@rowan1275 well her powers are more to do with mana/energy manipulation than anything physical. So maybe she doesn't get tired because she us just weaving and bending the elements to her will. Unlike Belmont who is using physical prowess and martial arts and Alucard who is using swordsmanship.
Severing your own combusting arm and tossing it like a grenade at the enemy is so goddamn metal I love it.
As Brendon Small would say: BRUTAL!!!!
pretty badass.
It's the most badass "Go fuck your self" moment. And to think St.Germain just slapped this guy.
I audibly said out loud to myself, “What a beast.”
@@oneproductionman I fuckin love Saint Germain hahaha
I love how it’s Trevor that realizes “Yeah we’re fighting the wrong opponents...” and switches it up and they immediately body everyone 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, it's that glance at 0:50 and the man goes to work setting it up.
I think it was more that trevor just gave sypha an opening to cut their numbers in half so that trevor could stop getting 2v1ed since the 2 fighting trevor were quite weak individually
They were all killed after getting caught off guard so they were outsmarted more than anything
All it takes in a fight is one moment. The vamp going after Sypha went for a torturous spell over a deadly one. That was the mistake, and Trevor capitalized.
The time Trevor actually got the brain cell
I mean, I think the thing Trevor showed throughout the series was a head for tactics. He doesn't have magic, or hyper speed, or shape shifting telekinetic sword wielding. But he does have an eye for openings, how to create them and how to exploit them.
My fav part of this is the fact that Dagan's armor actually tanks hits.
And the fact that if not for his armor he would've died a LOT sooner.
Also the consistency of how his armor works.
The Morningstar bounces off the plate but penetrates the chainmail on his arm, since the plate covering THAT
part was knocked off by Alucard.
And Alucard is the only one able to knock off pieces of the armor as he's the physically strongest in the group.
Too many times is Armor COMPLETELY ineffective in Anime and in movies, not to mention inconsistent AF.
I mean, that's the whole point of armor and why humans have worn some form of armor in battle for thousands of years....If more vampires simply wore armor and fought in unison, they might have been able to take down the main trio. Imagine if Isaac had to face carmilla, morana and striga in armor together in that room....the fight would have gone a lot different.
Plated armour over chainmail.... sounds like it would weigh a quite a bit. Not for a vampire though.
It’s called “plot armor”
@@aldaynehall7865 nah. thats how you layer it irl. wool/gambeson, chain, plate. the chain covers your body in between the segmented parts of the plat armour.
@aldaynehall7865
Surprisingly little actually. While the total weight of plate, male, and gambeson might sound like a lot it’s distributed throughout the entire body. It’s actually entirely possible to do cartwheels in the full set up with a few weeks of training. Knights in full plate would’ve been rather useless if they couldn’t stand upright.
The people who draw the story boards, or whoever it is. They are so fucking creative in how they make sypha use her powers
I've probably seen Sypha make more magic hand signs than the whole Naruto verse lol
She straight threw down kamehameha
There is definitely HEAVY ATLA inspiration in her movements. Every time she was flying around with the fire jets, I had flashbacks to Ozai in the final fight with Aang. Her ice movements are like a combination of waterbending and earthbending and her lightning is taken straight from Avatar.
I love her.
@@W4r10ckm4n her lighting is not taken straight from avatar lol. Mages have used elemental spells since before avatar was even invented
I dont like how she can make ice out of nothing. Aside from that its cool
- Fast paced with enough emphasis and time given to inform the viewer about the rules each combatant is operating by without bogging things down by over-explaining.
- Really creative power use.
- Combat is visceral; everyone is 100% trying to kill each other.
- It's not done in a vacuum; the environment influences the action, as does the flow of battle.
Castlevania truly has become a masterclass for fantasy action.
If/when I make a video game, I’m definitely going back to these scenes for study.
Every battle in season 4 was amazing
Great show don't tell here, no doubt
Facts! The last time I saw an anime that did this was Darker than Black that's so obscure and forgotten now. Pretty much every fighting anime has to stop every couple of moves to explain every fucking thing; gods I hate that shit
@@couragew6260 Yeah after watching Castlevania, Fate/Stay(too some extent), Darker than black, Black Lagoon etc. Its just that fights are more real when they are actually fighting without talking much. Because who shouts what they are going to do before they do it?
There is nothing that annoyed me about this series. No clichés, no stupid bad guys, no attacking one by one, no overpowered characters, realistic weak points, realistic strategies, realistic violence, realistic love, banter, humour, greed, revenge stories, relatable villains, stellar music, stellar voice acting, stellar parallel and converging storylines and, excluding a bit of season 2, excellent pacing and balance between tension/exposition/fight/calmness. This show is forever in my heart.
Truly a masterpiece. For me it is the best thing Netflix has done.
Especially the banter
"Lucky I decided against killing you and eating you, Belmont."
"And that I decided against gutting you, flaying you, and turning you into shoes, Alucard."
"What a merry band we are..."
Season 3 was disappointing and the only part that was interesting was Isaac's story tbh, but this show is still what all animated shows should strive to be like if they intend on having action scenes
@@DisKorruptd "I'm a fucking viking, I like boats"
Dracula was a pretty overpowered character
Love how every villain from small fries to big bosses can actually fight
Not one is entirely a push over it took skill to take each one out. It’s actually pretty realistic and something I appreciate.
@@eaglewarrior7979 yeah
Like its not that the bosses are weak, its just that Belmont and the gang are so badass
@@sgt.krakatoa1093 Plot armor is too OP.
But yeah, the fight this time around is much more realistic and entertaining, unlike that one time when the trio just easily curbstomped the whole army of vampires along with their generals.
and no talking unnecessary trash talk or monologue xd
Can we all appreciate that Sypha and Trevor were both massively exhausted during all this - they’d been fighting constantly for days on end
Months*
Weeks*
They leveled up so much from it that by the end of it they are on another level!
Also Sypha is "less powerful" in this season than in other... Maybe the pregnancy fault ?
@@flaviomonteiro1414
Perhaps, although is she really less powerful? Might just be me not noticing 😅
Being able to consistently show off each party member’s skill and specialty without pulling focus to another character is very impressive. I applaud the animators who did this very chaotic fight scene so visually appealing.
I love Trevor as a character. You can see that, being a man with no special powers, he struggles in combat more than his two comrades _physically_ (his body gets more worn down with each fight), but he is a brilliant tactician and an excellent fighter.
The Belmonts have superior strength than your average human.
Funny thing is he probably the strongest among the trio yet people think he the weakest
@@katfans7124 he is not stronger than a vampire ( Dracula's don btw)
@Ahmad Adnan yhea, if he had his weapons I think he can 1v1 and win against any of the two. But he is not the physically strongest of the 3.
@Ahmad Adnan I know what you meant but you did actually type out that Trevor can beat Trevor in a fight.
So, did anyone else notice that Dragan did the anti-superhero landing? Legs locked completely straight, no bended knees, no fist to the ground, just landing as hard as possible to prove a point.
What an absolute TANK
man fell like a goddamn sarcophagus
mans fell like a fucking plank of wood
“We are but men, drawn to act in the name of revenge that we deem to be justice. But if there is justice in revenge, then that same justice will breed only more revenge and trigger a cycle of hatred.”
Threw his hand to Trevor as it was about to explode 🤣
That is one my favorite entrances ever. In anything.
This is just one of the greatest animated fights ever. The choreography, the teamwork, the vampire flippin ripped his arm off before it detonated and chucked it like a damn grenade. This needs to be a video game
Boy do I have some news for you...
@@mac9365 lol I know about the games. It's one of my favorite series. I meant we need a game based off of the show. With Trevor, sypha and alucard playable. And not just a regular vania, but a 3D action game with all the flashy attacks, open areas, team attacks and all the other cool stuff present in the show
@@ShinPepsiman Something akin to DMC, only in this Universe
That would make it a full circle)
@@ShinPepsiman Yeah. Playing as Alucard would be dope af.
Mad respect for Trevor for being the only one without powers but still standing on the same level as the other two combat-wise
He's a Belmont, that even in-universe is a power.
No kidding.
Pretty sure by canon in the games the Belmont are considered “Super Human”
Trevor is currently the strongest human of that time. He defeated Death on his own.
Makes you realize that instant weapon mastery is an incredibly underrated strength in a fantasy setting as long as you can make BS overpowered magical weapons. That guy mastered that boomerang 2 seconds after discovering it.
With the morning star whip, he has more AOE damage than Alucard. Not to mention faster cast time than Sypha's fire and ice.
What I find especially impressive about the action in this series is that you can follow it. No matter how quick things get during a fight, I can always figure out who’s where and what to focus on. The animation is stellar and the choreography is some of the best I’ve seen, animation or otherwise.
I genuinely wish the action was as easy to follow as Transformers. It was a great action movie, but the action sequences were just too convoluted to follow.
and to think this is the same studio that made adventure time and the fairly oddparents
It feels like a true anime fight with different powers and counters but without the stupid explaining between each attack breaking the momentum.
Also so imaginitive. The way the animators use each character abilities is awesome.
Seriously amazing animation, I have watched so many animes and they do not even compare most of the time. So much movement in the combat its amazing.
Dragan ripping off his own arm and throwing it at Trevor is the most brutal move in the entire show.
nah bro alucard having threesome is the best brutal part of the whole series
It’s freaking crazy q
Sir Daniel Fortesque approves
They kinda fucked Dragan's rep with the Saint Germain scene, but he won it back with how hardcore that arm throw was.
@orangesoda4535 That's actually a good scene.
It lets us know that Dragan is not a dumb goon that would let his pride get the best of him and that Saint Germain has so much leverage that he can do whatever he wants.
I have a deeper respect for Saint Germain’s backhand after seeing Dragan hold his own against the Trio.
For real, guy could have eviscerated Germain In nanoseconds
Dragan: (hisses)
Germain: (slaps Dragan)
You sound like a farting cow!!
Yeah, no shit. I don't think a single other vampire managed to hold all three of them off for this long. I mean, we know Dracula could, and probably Varney, but Dragan *does*.
saint germain would have escaped@@Rully30
Am I the only one surprised by how tanky Dragan was in this? Like goddamn apparently he has abs made of steel if he's stopping Alucard with them alone.
Wait which part did he use his abs?
@@XLR8Games When Alucard went to slice him in half. Sure his armour played a role but the blade made contact with his abs too.
His body was tough enough to withstand alucard's magic infused attack.
@@matthewcoster5535 ahh gotcha welp he didnt skip ab days lol
Frieza: "Oh my God. You can grind meat on those abs."
I absolutely love how Trevor being outmatched with his companions also in trouble just says "Aight, catch these hands" 0:52
Not sure Trevor is outmatched about his companions. He was able to somewhat beat Alucard.
He knew he wasn’t winning a ranged fight, so he moved in to put pressure on to make things more favorable
Alucard was barely trying. @@AChillin01R
well they never thought a human can use his fists xD
This is the same man who punched Dracula.
Can we appreciate that string vampire lady almost solo’d alucard here....
They were all pretty much in trouble right up until Trevor’s slick ass pulled that lucky throw 🤣
@@m1dnight426 yeah but Trevor was 2 vs 1
Sypha fought a. Stronger magic user
Vampire girl only had her skill and almost beat alucard who is extremely op.
I feel like string vampire and ghost vampire were the most badass. I feel like bone vampire and dagger vampire were absolutely useless. The group probably would have been screwed if anyone else fought them or if the main guy actually joined in the fight instead of just sitting there watching
Still great fight don’t get me wrong
@@roluevasreisa5730 Yeah, if the big man in charge joined in early things probably coulda ended different, still amazing tho.
Makes you wonder why the hell the generals who were with Dracula were such shitty fighters in season 2. If all these fighters from season 4 were at Dracula side back then, the heroes would have died in season 2.
Sypha is THE best animated spellcaster. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
Any spellcaster with insta-cast no-chant-spell are the best.
She is pure unadulterated badass
How about elemental mages from animated series "The Legend of Korra"
@@alexfiend7695 Sypha is the Avatar
@@rexlumontad5644 thank god sypha didnt unlock the "avatar state" throughout the story. Or else...
When Sypha saved Alucars immediately after being sabed by Trevor that was so badass. They’re so in sync.
One of my favorite moments of the entire series
Dam dude threw his exploding arm at Trevor... who tf does that.
Smart villains apparently
A beast who will fulfil the mission at hand
In the off chance that you want a legitimate answer, *Naruto spoiler* Tobi rips off his own arm when it gets infected by super venomous nano insects, and he kicks the arm at one of the guys he's fighting.
Lol that was dope af
He was a fukin badass, and smart fighter turning a disadvantage to his advantage.
"I terrify them, Sypha disorients them, Alucard goes over the top, and we support him". Trevor put some fear in him by blowing off his armor and arm, Sypha disoriented him with fire, Alucard went over the top to finish him, then got assisted with the killing blow.
If you notice Sypha chipped off some of the armor first with her icicles to which Alucard followed and took it off completely allowing Trevor to get a clean hit. Great details!
it's genius. like you can see how much planning went into these fight scenes
@@XxdextriousxX no actually, the morning star is what shattered his armor completely
@@gsomslayer it’s what shattered his arm which wouldn’t made contact unless the other two didn’t chip it off yea
@@XxdextriousxX alucard shattered his helmet
sypha chipped his chest plate
trevor shattered the armor on one side down to the stomach area
Okay, but can you imagine how scared Alucard must have been considering what he went through in Season 3 and being bound like that again with a sharp object coming at him to kill him? It must have been reassuring knowing he had his friends there this time to help him though.
It never even occurred to me that he'd have massive PTSD about that after what happened in S3, but you're right.
That spider woman chick was kicking his ass
I really loved the characterization of the vampires in this scene. They are so distinct from the vampires in Dracula's court, but it makes sense because they aren't military leaders or rulers...they are the most devout, twisted followers of Dracula who would test the limits of alchemy to resurrect him. If vampire society is the internet they are dark web.
They are also straight up soldiers, rather than advisors. These dudes fight in the front lines, Dracula's Council only fought for fun.
"If vampire society is the internet they are the dark web"
Oh I very much like this description
@@crofoegbu6535 same
I often see people type about how the power creep retroactively made the generals in season 1 & 2 weaker than these season 4 generals. But you provided a really good justification. Dracula could be a classic vampire with a conventional court of underlings. Perhaps Dracula do not like the idea of these twisted monsters. But there is no excuse for Dragan. He seems to have a classic skill set and is ridiculously powerful. He should have been on Dracula's court from the start.
@@yiklongtay6029 he might've turned Dracula down for one reason or another. The show has said vampires really REALLY respect Dracula, but they also can respectfully decline stuff without him getting mad.
That guy ripping his exploding arm off and throwing like a grenade was metal as hell.
Furthermore, it's a smart strategy.
He didn't even hesitate
someone give this dead man a medal
Realistically, given how Dagan was able to hold his own for a while against their 3v1 assault, it's unlikely that any of the trio alone could have taken him down.
Mad respect to Dagan.
Late but I also think it's because of how he fought.
The other monsters and vampires in the series usually fall back on their magic and enhanced physical abilities.
Dagan on the other hand, wears armor. Heavy armor, took at least a direct hit from morning star to break it.
His weapon, almost mirrors the two weapon users of the group. A heavy morning star used to create distance when needed and be unpredictable. Heavy enough to do damage and break ice. While he still honed his body. Hell the only one as muscular that we've seen is God brand and as tall is dracula.
Fantastic bad guy. Loved what they did with him
@@slipstream9619and yet he got bitch slapped by Saint Germain. 😅
I think due to his melee combat nature Trevor would've been the closest match but he has Alucard and Sypha in the bag. And that's really cool since all three of them barely lose.
And he willingly tore his own right arm off to prevent the morning star's power from engulfing the rest of him.
such disrespect?. you think alucard wouldn't be able to 1v1him? HA
Okay, not even speaking to the actual fight against Dragan, but fuck did they actually have a solid strategy for these three.
From the way it looks, they paired each of the trio against a threat that could suppress the main talents of each.
Alucard, a monster of a close combat specialist, was paired against a woman who knew how to force the fight to a more comfortable range, all while using CC techniques to restrict his movement.
Sypha was paired against the one thing she doesn't have much experience with, a sorcerer that actually matches her level. Her reflexes are geared toward fast, low-level magic. Of course she'd struggle there.
And Trevor? You DON'T come at a Belmont alone. So they send two specialists to deal with the specialist. Given their apparent powersets, they prey on his primary weaknesses: projectiles, and numbers.
It was only after Trevor actually used his own brain that he realized this himself. So what did he immediately do? Did what he does best, and incapacitated the sorcerer for a killshot. Sypha then followed through by gutting the vamp lady's range, and Alucard used his monstrous talent for combat and annihilated one of the specialists.
And you know... You don't come at a Belmont alone.
This is legitimately the most insightful, wonderful summary of a fight scene that I've ever read. Thank you for writing it!
it almost seems like creators were thinking through the entire storyline to minute detail, while actually putting a good writing effort even in action scenes.
A rarity these days indeed.
This belongs on tv tropes' Fridge Brilliance section of the show.
I think one of the reasons Sypha was outmatched at first is because the sorcerer could freely fly around and pursue her while still being able to use both hands to cast.
I like these insights, really made me look at the fight again with a new perspective.
Powerhouse Animation just flexed on the entire Animation industry with this season.
If you didn't count anime animation studios of course, then yes
Anime industry can only do degenerate isekai at this point. The industry is beyond saving now
@@accountnotfound4209 ...eh?
@@accountnotfound4209 True with the exception of Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer.
@@lorddoma6637 that's a fair point
2:48 It is rather neat that Sypha uses her electricity like a bow, reminiscent of the first foe she vanquished using said energy.
Shit you right! Damn that’s some English essay wow moment shit right there
In the span of 4 seasons Sypha's power levels went from D&D Mage -> Avatar -> Naruto kage
You mean kamehameha z fighter
High level DnD mages can create dimensions, kill people with a single word, stop time and more. Let's not even talk about the insanity that is wish... I don't think going from that to Avatar is an upgrade, lol.
(Yes yes I know, you were talking about blasting stuff with spells. I just found it funny since I feel that a lot of people don't realize how insane the things that high level DnD mages can do truly are.)
@@Imnospy ya you have a point here. DnD casters can be more powerful than a natuto kage.
Madara beat all 5 kage at once and basically had the meteor swarm spell. I think itd be a pretty even fight.
Add magic items in and they would have little chance of winning.
Wizard using invincibility: fight over
They could literally take madaras meteor to the face and be fine
@@dragonxswords114 Magic users seem to be OP in most fictional universes it seems
Change that to d&d player mage and your comment will make perfect sense.
What I love about these three is:
Without Sypha, Trevor and Alucard would have died.
Without Alucard, Sypha and Trevor would have died.
Without Trevor, Alucard and Sypha would have died.
Each member is so crucial for success in fights like this. Each member is so vitally important. Each member covers someone's weakness. Each member is VITAL.. They're really the perfect trio. :)
Es un equipo perfecto básicamente
Mmmm. Alucard probably could've beat Dragan by himself but to be honest it would've been a really rough fight. However yeah Trevor and Sypha definitely would lose to Dragan on their own.
i love how coordenated they are. when trevor saved sypha she instantly saved alucard.
I love how much sense the scaling here makes. The council they killed in season 1 were good but not too hard for the power trio because they’re more advisors and logisticians etc. Dragan and these others were the frontline generals and mages. Much more dangerous in a straight up fight.
Yeah i also have been thinking about that
Except for godbrand whos supposed to be this badass viking but got jobbed by Isaac

Trevor's final fight scene just 😘👌
I love that there was no talking, just 4-5 minutes of high octane, badassery. No monologues, just straight up everyone is trying to kill the others.
2:47 - I love the way Sypha casts this lightning spell here. It's like drawing and loosing a bow string and it's just so unique. The somatic parts of her spells in this series is one of my favourite parts, among many.
I think it's more akin to a slingshot if you think about it!
Props to you for using somatic correctly. Not many do.
Found the TTRPG player!
@@RisingAurora IKR? i feel so somatic about his comment
It doesn't stop being funny to me when Trevor Belmont just starts fist fighting vampires. Or like when he loses his weapons and just starts picking up random things to fight. And WINS
I'm armed... WITH A STICK
It’s either that or die. He cannot outrun them 😂
@@XxdextriousxX also belmonts never run. They don't know the meaning of the word
@@tlmacmillan1 Yes, they always 'strut'. Just look at Richter or Simon.
I think the advantage in this is that his enemies never expect it. You are that powerful vampire lord or general, you have disarmed this puny human, and suddenly, he come straight at you and sucker punch you. Most humans at this point shiver in fear or run.
What I love about this scene is it not only shows competent enemies, but the fact that it’s not the powers or raw ability of the Belmonts that allowed them to overcome vampires and monsters, but instead their ingenuity and initiative
Dodp
Ldld
The Belmonts are most known for hunting the creatures that hunted humans in the night. And they will allow themselves to die by the hands of humans but won't stop hunting their prey until they themselves die.
I thinks it accurately told. The real battles were fought back then, the newer generation grew comfortable. As bane told Batman *victory has defeated you* The new cast will get stronger over time
Why is no one talking about the team work? Even in the fight against Dracula they were all mostly doing their own thing towards a common goal. Here they are supporting each other non stop
Experience makes it all worthwhile at least they’re not repeating it
Everyone's talking about the teamwork
They are, though, you just haven't scrolled much. Also, the fights up to Dracula and against him were still very team oriented, they played as a group and off each other really well.
That's the most logical thing to do any experience fight would do, they aren't trying to play hero or take the glory they just wanna get it done and go have a drink
Can we just put some respect on Trevor for the amount of trust he had to show when he threw that knife boomerang thing? Like he threw that knowing it would leave him defenseless, but he knew Sypha was going to let them come back from being pretty much against the wall
Facts
That's battlefield awareness for you!
After watching Nocturne and seeing how messy and unexperience the main group are at fighting and making decisions, this is so satisfying to watch.
It also shows you how f skilled this trio was.
I'm having the same feelings, seeing this after watching Nocturne.
Also, realizing how Sypha outclasses most other humans, it makes more sense when Richter lights the river on fire.
Hope we see them improve in S2

After seeing nocturne I can def say sypha was a prodigy. She’s throwing around magic others can’t even dream of doing.
I mean, yeah, Tera definitely hasn't seen as much combat as her plus lived a very different life. Richter only just got his magic back and we had a brief scene of Julia. They're not gonna have fights with this same level of brutality or power involved every time.

@@gabriellightbringer6420 How we sleeping on the Trio vs Vlad Dracula Tepes himself?
0:15 the monster sypha is fighting is a refrence to castlevania circle of the moon and its the second boss monster you will fights and its called "necromancer"
What I really love throughout the series that Sypha is not some ice witch women character that freeze enemy legs for 3 seconds, got hit and passed out. But Trevor and Alucard can really lose the battles without her
She's got fwken hands
They're a team normies, each would be dead by going alone and she cannot endure the damage Trevor gets
They killed sypha she's op as fuck half the time they die without her knowledge skill and creativity.....she dont fuck around even alittle
I think the shows points out numerous times without directly telling you that each character is op in their own right but would be dead without the other two.
I like how this is just them vs the Generals from season 2 but even more intense.
Like respect to Dracula's council for the fight they put up, but this crew here damn near killed the power trio, and Dragan put up a hell of a fight on his own (sure was nice of him to wait his turn though, but then again from what little we saw it looks in character for him). I mean it makes sense, with how crazy things are and all the scheming vampires do, that only the toughest would make it this far or assemble such a force.
I imagine with that weapon of his it’s more suited to just him fighting. I mean look at the area it covered. He probably wasn’t worried about his subordinates either since they had the trio on the ropes until the split second turn around by Trevor.
@@anonymousname5860 Good point, hadn't considered that. Nice observation
Generals from season 2??
OK but also in contrast to season 2 our trio are mentally and in Trevor and syphas case physicaly exhausted from weeks of fighting without rest and probably not enough food and repeatedly seeing just horrifying stuff Alucard is still starting to recover from sumi and taka and though having a purpose helps and Greta and his best friends are back there's still a mad man magician trying to drag his parents from the afterlife into a hermaphrodite body to enact some crazy shit so he's still a bit of his game
Well contrary to s2 Sypha and Trevor did all this without sleeping and Alucard was busy soloing an army, so they werent in top form
I never get tired of how badass Sypha's fighting style is. Most of her opponents could crush every bone in her body with one blow and she still chooses to fight at close range instead of being the stereotypical ranged support. She basically fights like video game character without benefits of video game character like large hp bar and continues
SPOILER:
The fact that Sypha is pregnant during this fight has me kinda worried for that baby
Christopher's a badass tho
No way they are gonna change that, the Belmont lineage shall continue throughout generations
That boy will be a badass because of this
Chrisy got buffs from being tumbled around like dirty rags in a washer. He was okay.
you need to get a life for real if you are worried about a non existend baby in an animated series.
Damn. Sypha is THE TRUE reincarnation of the avatar after Aang. She be flyin around flexin her bending skills.
All the elements!
@@davidevans7477 It's sad how no Avatar shown in the actual series presented Sypha's level of skill with the elements. I mean she combined fire, ice, and lightning in ways that would put Aang and Korra to shame.
@@EmptyMan000 Lol Aang to shame? Aang's creativity with his fights with air bending alone is peak bending skills, coupled that with his creativity with earth and water bending with a little fire bending then he isn't at all inferior to Sypha. Not to mention Aang is 12 and he's already in that mastery level
@@EmptyMan000 I mean in their defense, Aang was only 12 and was still learning the elements, and Kora was only 16 just learning to bend her last element. There’s definitely different power scales in the Castlevania Universe as well.
@@EmptyMan000 Aang split ships in half during the Northern water tribe invasion. Korra can create a giant avatar of herself with energy capable of destroying a small city. Aang summoned an entire sandstorm that would engulf the desert he was in had he continued. Aang split and destroyed an entire city block of barracks in one earth bending attack.
I’d say that one of the best parts of this fight is how theres no talking whatsoever. Just pure, unadulterated action and smooth combos.
I love that they fight so strategically and coordinate, like in 1:05 Belmont helping Sypha so she can help Alucard so he can help Belmont
God the teamwork here was just fucking **chef's kiss**
@@ButterflyScarlet I know! I wish we had more scenes of the 3 in this season
I had to pick my jaw off the floor after that
Trevor thinking; "I just need to worry release Sypha and we'll win the fight" hahah
She really was the team powerhouse, no question
shes literrally the avatar but for adults
@@firstnamelastname7298 lol, Avatar rated R
I mean, I’d release my team mate from a lock if they could perform a literal kame hame ha and a lightning arrow right afterwards.
I mean shit ... she lit as hell ... she got some bad ass combos ... she dangerous
The choreography of the fight is spectacular. It fits the characters as they have been shown to act, and gives a great sense of how well they know each other.
This "dragan" dude is what steppenwolf should look like in the live action
The fight few minutes of the final justice league fight was like this though.
Apparence wise, yeah, but I think the comic style works better in animation, in the movies they would need to either have to change it or heavily stylize it, 2017 tried but didn't worked.
But now to think about it, Netflix has Henry, Zack and castlevania's animation studio, might as well do something about it, like a New Gods animation mini series in this style could be really cool.
It took me almost an hour to watch this episode for how amazingly choreographed it was. Structurally, it was a great series of scenes.
First, the reuniting of the trio. Taking on a horde as a team with the main theme playing. Awesome.
Then they separate, each taking on a small group and a mini boss with unique abilities.
Then they regroup to take on a competent enemy squad, who actually give them a run for their money. However, with one act of teamwork, they’re able to knock down the threat like dominos.
Then Dragan. It’s the last time we see them fight as a group and it’s an absolute spectacle.
And this is before Trevor takes on the big boss, literally calling out Death himself. This whole episode was fucking incredible.
If this was a JRPG, Dragan is the true final boss and Death is the cinematic final boss. XD
@@bukojoetheslapsoils8273 True. If this was a game Dragan would be the tricky boss you have to beat with skill, whereas Death would be an easier but more cinematic final boss.
@@Crichjo32 Sigrun and Baldur type of deal lmao
2:36 god i LOVE how alucard flashes red once before zooming like the ability has to be charged
Props to Dragan, dude did NOT hesitate to rip off his arm-turned-grenade.
For a side character that got roasted by Simp Germain that's lit af.
"Simp Germain" lmao
Leon Belmont didn't lie: "From this day onward, the Belmont clan will HUNT THE NIGHT!!!"
Ah yes leon belmont... those who only know castlevania via the show sympatizes with dracula... they dunno why the belmonts and dracula are at war in the first place.. what happened to lisa was actually karma for dracula
Haha! My boy's words from Leon Belmont.
Trevor is just an absolute beast. He's coming off already hard battles and was managing to hold his own 2v1 and then goes up against Dragan.
We’ll still that spider woman was kicking Alucard’s ass
This is how fight should be, short, intense, and characters making split second decision.
Japan anime fight is good but sometimes it takes too long and too much talking.
Too much talking is what i find is the most annoying one
The sheer compatibility and intuitiveness in their fighting styles is beautiful. They seamlessly switch opponents after freeing each other without any verbal communication and they never get hit by each other's attacks (like they did in the fight with Dracula). It's like they were never separated. It's not only a great animated fight scene, but a demonstration of how they work as a team.
1:37 to 1:42 has got to be the most amazing sequence of this fight. I wonder how long it took to animate those 5 seconds.
I wouldn't be surprised if that took a minimum of several months.
@@micahfries7878Stupid? It wouldn't even take a day lmao.
The team work in this scene was amazing

I love that despite all his upgrades he still carries his old whip. It's like when you have your starter weapon but you keep it after getting new ones because you maxed it out
It's a family treasure, even if it's weaker.
@@Z-Man7 the old whip? No it's not. The Morning Star is a family treasure. The old whip is just an ordinary whip
@@valeriewinter6217 a whip that makes demons explode in season 1.
@@Z-Man7 yes. Because it's consecrated. It can be done to any ordinary weapon. Nothing to do with old treasures. He literally said it himself, should have watched attentively.
@@valeriewinter6217 Tbf I think he said that in the first season, it’s been a while so they might’ve forgotten.
Man,Dragan's underrated.
He was handling all 3 of them pretty well,he even took Trevor out of the fight.
Even the spider woman was beating Alucard
I love how Trevor is so Kickass that they needed two dudes to put him down and he is still the one that saved his friends. True MVP
I think he wouldn't be able to deal with the purple energy vampire in a 1v1. She had too much mobility. If facing the wires vampire, he'd probably be able to cut the wires with his combat cross. But it could also get tangled like Alucard's sword. I'll say that the chance of winning a 1v1 is 50/50. He really faced the two worst members of the 4.
You know, for a guy whose prior appearance had him humiliated by Simp Gerhmain, Dragan is a fucking beast!
Lmao simp
@@bhuwin6186 Imagine killing a whole village and taking their souls, just to get ur girl back, only to have her reject you once you see her again.
@BøLT simps gotta simp for someone
Ya, Gerhmain is a verified king of cuckatry. He almost brought about the end of the world, if Trevor didn't stop the defiled revival of Dracula. All that, to just see his lady again.... Of course he deserves to be rejected. Pathetic.
@@davidevans7477 He could have stuck around and learn magic from Sypha to be an actual wizard in Season 3
I like how Sypha doesn't hesitate to literally incinerate the living sh*t out of everyone and then screams at Trevor how rude he is.
Gotta give respect to Dragan for taking on the 3 people notorious for killing the most powerful vampire in the world without even flinching
They did fuckton of flinching there
Uhh Dracula was definitely whooping their ass the whole fight. If he didn’t get emotional about fighting Alucard they 1,000% would have lost.
They didnt kill Dracula..did you even watch the show? Dracula was weak as shit for not having drank blood for months, and he was beating them all without trying. In the end Dracula basically did suicide/allow himself to be killed
@Jayy Menace ahhh Dragan is the one who didn’t flinch. I misread the comment as they killed Dracula without flinching.
@@jasoncruz19800 NOTORIOUS! As in they are KNOWN FOR doing it, not necessarily doing it. No one but them and drac are privy the the details of the castle fight. Are you special or just decided to turn off your brain when writing this comment?
Cheers to Dragan. The only one to hold his own against the trio since Dracula himself.
Not to mention they where much more powerful, skilled, and coordinated fighting Dragan than when they fought Dracula!
Its like, all three where at max level cap by this point.
Dracula was weak af man. Dude should just retire in a farm somewhere.
@@seriousnecro looks like he's basically going to do just that.
dracula didnt "hold his own" against them. he was destroying them
now, dragan, dragan was actually holding his own against them
@@gsomslayer True if Dragan had been at the Castle the trio wouldn't have survived.
This is in indeed a boss battle and they capture the essence of what it means to be a team ...there's no talking in a middle of a battle ...no filler cut scenes ..just straight up..let's get this done...they took away his defense as well as his options ...now that's what I call a battle
Love how they showed why there's a reason why vampires are afraid of the Belmonts. Trevor got both is teammates out of jams in 2 moves without injuring himself too much.
I love how people explain Syphas magic. It just lends into that imagination in a world full of magic and its awesome. I'd take it Speaker mages in this world are supposed to be incredibly powerful and she shows that. I love how they lowkey develop combat wise through the series.
All magicians in the show are powerful, Sypha particularly so cause of how much experience she has
I absolutely adore how when fighting his lackeys, the moment Trevor and co get an advantage they dispatch them with almost no effort.
Dragan easily the second most powerful vampire behind Dracula. He was so cool and overconfident that he didn't even feel the need to intervene at first. But every vampire that had wings in this series was really on another level
Bro I hope you are right
I don't want Carmilla to be stronger than him
Uh, no, not even close, he's just old and wise compared to most vampires. Only vamp that would match Dracula would be his son.
dragan is not even an elder vampire. he's comparable to striga but the 2nd most powerful vampire is alucard himself. You may see him as not that powerful in this show simply because the dude is just 9 years old!
I must agree it took 3 of them to defeat him and the Morningstar whip didn’t radiate to his whole body. Only other person able to tank it was Dracula himself. Also watch how he swatted away sypha’s fire. I love Isaac but I highly doubt he’d be able to defeat him
@@Dondingdingding striga is OP as fu.. but she’s no Dragan
0:54 I like trevor doing a calculations here and fight like Batman on a vampire through hand to hand
When it comes the fights, this show did such a good fucking job at being respectful to and showcasing how powerful each of the 3 are. The Greatest 3
Sypha can do all the fucking badass scenes pregnant, she Is THE WOMAN.
That's how you make a good strong female CHARACTER, not a strong FEMALE character.
I love the fact that they didn’t make her powerful because she was a girl she just just happens to be powerful and a girl
She wasn't that long in the pregnancy so ironically this even more realistic hence why I like her
I love how no matter what type of supernatural foe Trevor is up against... That man is never scared to THROW SOME HANDS!! 🤜🏿🤛🏿
Something I love about fights in this show specifically is how literally nobody talks. It's just combat, power ups, grunts, and action.
If this were a shonen anime they'd do a weird slomo / struggle sequence to explain the reasoning behind the attack every 3 seconds.
2:26 she pulled of a final flash right there
"How much of the budget should be use?"
"Yes."
You do know that’s not how it’s done they don’t ask how much budget they use.
@@lordofanime7540 Let the joke be
@@justkorbii3180 why it wasn’t funny
2:25 That whole sypha sequence alone had me fucking screaming bro I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!!
I love the emphasis on how they'd all severely struggle without each other. Team work makes the dream work!
Sypha is so badass I’m so happy they include a lot of her in battles compared to many others that kind of have the females support but little screen time. It’s so interesting seeing her abilities strengthen the team
Sypha being a Firelord is pretty awesome. That final battle between Aang and Ozai wasn't just iconic, it was almost historical
Animators: "So how epic do you want this scene?"
Director: "YES!"
Animated shows very rarely show a team BEING a team and playing off each other’s strengths. Love it
"I know its a lot coming from me, BUT YOUR POWERS ARE BULLSHIT!" -Alucard TFS Hellsing Abridged
Damn, I knew it! Sypha goes full avatar in this.
Who would love an avatar series with this animation
One of my favorite fights from the whole show. Takes all 3 of them to take down Dragan as they chip away at his armor with each epic hit.
0:41 and this guy with agility maxed out. Dodging all 3 of Trevor's attacks nope, nope, aaaand nope! Lol what a badass.
After all the cliche anime fights with all the standing around, friendship and the power of talk jutsu, fights like this are just wonderful to behold.
Let's just aprecciate how much of a power beast Dragan is. The last vampire to hold his grounds against those three was bloody Dracula Tepes! (a nerfed, starving and suicidal one, but still him)
Dracula was winning. Only realizing what he was doing and to who and where, did he stop
