    Rosalie time is short, but her impact is magnificent. Hector is a good man who chose evil because the world was harsh, and at the earliest sign, he chose good. I love this story so much. Way better than the anime.

      I felt like there was some kind of plan for Hector in season 2, and then it clearly went out the window in season 3. But I don't know what the writer was thinking.

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

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

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

      True let not forget that hector wife was originally Hanged But then later on retcon burning at the stake Let’s not forget That succubus Might not know the full story in the way Lisa die And at Best Might not know the full Detail how she died

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

      Yeah no first off the so called retelling is shown to be more canon Then the other way how Hector’s wife die the first time Before the retcon also The same so-called retelling Can apply to multiple Castlevania remakes also yeah The succubus outright lies and we I don’t know The full context how Lisa die in the games also Dracula might have not told the succubus the full True

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

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

      Also The problem With curse of darkness That you need to know about Hector’s wife and his Friendship of Isaac Is an extended universe Material A.k.a. the manga Which is a bad way of telling the story like We don’t really know about Hector’s wife Or what she look like Instead You had to look at the manga To know the full reason if not backstory About Hector’s life Which is a bad way of Telling a story but hey that just my Opinion

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

      Yeah no the manga is more or less canon because It out expand on Hector’s life the love of his life and outright Show the The friendship/Rivalry Of Isaac also Castlevania/metriodvania All right shows Interesting stories that expands the world aria/dawn of sorrow and for Metroidvania super metriod and fusion, prime etc.

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