Shanoa is actually a Stand User and you all know it
This makes perfect sense, since Leon and Mathias were friends then one rejected their humanity by well being a vampire then harassing the main character's loved one or in this case making her a vampire. Stone men are missing tho, i bet medusa heads in a stair case got those covered.

I was happy when Alucard killed them. I was so worried about him
@@Cloud_Heart I mean. I'm personally still worried but now for other reasons.

@@voltkid5193 Ughhh i cant remember exactly. Just google which episode had the jojo mask.
@@onyx_vii7808 oh ok thanks
Alucard is like an outsider of the family he deserves to be a part of the belmont family
Umm no because all the belmonts would be related to Dracula.
@@antonio.3432 You know what i mean i meant that Alucard shlould just be a big part of the belmonts like a family of some sorts because his father cant accept him
@@BIastProcX When you put it that way it makes sense. But still doesn't make sense since Alucard is just a friend to the belmonts
In the original timeline he had actually fucked Sonia Belmont ( the first Belmont before she was decanonized) leading to the birth of her son. So technically he started the blemont clan. But that game is now non canon.
@@omarmansuri7099 Yeah but its non canon like you said. Also, couldn't you say a verb other than *F U C K E D*

I don't know why but this made me laugh really hard
I just can't stop thinking about how alucard might've felt when he awoke from his 300 year sleep. Was he lonely or depressed now that his friends have lived on and passed away and that he's the only one left or perhaps maybe exhausted and sick of the same cycle going on and on and on about killing his father whom he once held dear. Like wtf?
Kinda but he does clap some cheeks and has a kid
@@infamousdeku3594 who has a kid?
Nah the guy doesn't deal with petty issues like that. After waking up is symphony of the night, and then he becomes a rich guy giving money to the church and influencing in from the background future fights against dracula.
@@eldirtyfaygo5395 I mean his friends dying and him living longer then them isn't really a petty issue. It's a good thing that Castlevania the Netflix show actually shows his human emotions.
There should be a secret ending where Soma and Arikado goes to Romania and visit Lisa , Richter and Maria's grave. Would be a little bittersweet honestly
Dracula: Can I take over the world?! Pretty pwees?
Belmonts: "no."
*BANISHMENT!*
Carefree melody intensyfies
You forgot the UwU
why do people even bother ressurecting dracula at this point? guy never accomplished anything

wait I thought Sara's in the whip, but not Leon? still there are ppl saying that he's in the whip or something??? can you explain?
@@Specter1997 Sara is in the whip, but Leon's spirit lives through the Belmonts.
Soma: Is something wrong, Genya?
Genya/Alucard: This kid is my father .-.
This needs waaay more likes lol
So, if Soma and Mina were to have a child, wouldn't that make said child Arikado/Alucard's sibling?
Okay, I'm gonna stop talking
@@LemonNote1 yes. They both are the reincarnation of alucards parents in spiritual sense they will be siblings but not in a physical way no blood connection there.
Why are you talking about me?
I swear *Christopher Belmont* doesn't get enough attention & love. He was the FIRST Belmont to kick Dracula's ass twice! 😎
true
You mean Simon
Thats Simon Belmont lol
@@SexLuthor game canon yes, history canon no
Edit: tough, to be fair, he failed to compleatly kick his ass the first time
Joestar: so vampires

Lolololololol
Castlevania was first
Legend say that dracula had a distant cousin with special needs who likes to count that lives in a village called Sesame.

Lmao
" open sesame..."lol
Your pfp
With Dracula all I can think of is that Spongebob scene: How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man!
I may be confused, but wasn’t the Vampire Killer given to the Morris family due to a curse preventing Richter, and all future Belmont’s, from wielding it?
Yeah, I'm a bit confused why they left that detail out. I assumed it was a gag the first time but now I'm not so sure.
Portrait of Ruin even has a side quest set around breaking said curse.
We done goofed.
@@KyanbuXM There was no curse. Jonathan Morris couldn't use the whip because he wasn't a Belmont and the weapon is tied to the Belmont bloodline.
Jonathan had to use the Lecardes family's magic in order to face the whips memory - the last person who wielded the weapon, Richter Belmont.
Eric Lecarde even states that John Morris (Protagonist of Castlevania Bloodlines) went through the same process.
John Morris still cant use the whip because the weapon doesn't belong to him and the Twin Lecardes who helped Jonathan told him that overusing it will drain him of life. John died because he overused the Vampire Killer.
AleousMajor In Potrait of Ruin, Eric Lecarde mentions that prophecies said that in 1999, the Belmonts will have a final battle with Dracula. Thus, Richter vowed that the Belmonts won’t use the whip until that year. So, Richter gave the Morris Clan the whip.
@@Ash90 Jonathan only uses the awakened whip for the final stretch of the game, so he probably won't die
Me: woah, Alucard is just Dracula backwards
noob
Yeah, the character was first introduced in the 1943 film 'Son of Dracula'
Take this L please....
And Arikado is somewhat the japanese prononciation of Alucard.
Whoa... water is wet.
Lisa: Hi-
Townsfolk: *WITCH!*
Sypha, an actual witch: Hi.
Townsfolk: *does nothing*
Well... sypha is an actual witch(mage, sorceres) , that why they don't Want to mess with her, and in the another hand Lisa just something like a nurse and when they frame her for witchcraft, Lisa cant do much struggle and they Will gain Fame by killing a witch
In season one the townfolk wanted to kill the speaker magicians aswell but Trevor defended them
Sypha was more like a mage
She was a witch that worked for the church.
To me, Juste looks like he's the offspring from Alucard instead.
He really does
Hmmm 🤔 his lady Sypha has some explaining to do? Lol 😂
Nah he’s just a pretty albino and decides to rock the look.
fr lol
Fun fact! Charlotte Aulin, The witch that helped Jonathan, is theorised to help in the final battle in 1999, She would have been in her 70's at the time, so its entirely possible she was a magical grandma kicking Dracula's minions alongside Julius and Alucard.
Well unfortunately, Charlotte wasn't there. According to the game called "Castlevania Grimore of souls" Alucard says he didn't recognized her since that year. Because of her old age, she can't join the battle unless she gives her power to the newer generation of Belnades before the war.
Also fun fact IRL the Danesti Family (the family of that guy that helped Trevor) is the Main Rival of the House of Draculesti (The House of Dracul and Dracula) being the 2 branches of the House of Basarab fighting for the Voivodeship of Walachia.
I actually met a woman in Virginia a few years ago who claimed to be of the Tepes bloodline. She schooled me on the history of her family. She said Tepes and my eyes lit up. I looked at my friend who had no idea what that name meant. I listened to her for a good 2+ hours. Very interesting but I kind of wish I'd bump into her again. Hopefully there's a Belmont still around you know just in case.
Sounds like you were taken for a good ride.
@@Supermario0727 We didn't get that far.
Yeah... she was not being honest. "Tepes" isn't a surname. Castlevania treats it like one, but it's actually an epithet meaning "Impaler." So yeah, "Vlad Tepes" = "Vlad the Impaler." There is no "Tepes bloodline" because Tepes isn't a surname, it's a byname.
@@nyxshadowhawk Dropping knowledge thanks. Good ole ride I was on then. Hahaha
@@VitaminD15 Is... Is this a sexual joke!?
Belmont: "alright....We staked him, sprayed him with holy water, exploded his castle and sewed the ground with salt. Do you think hell come...."

You know Igarashi recently said he's open to making the missing Castlevania game (the Demon Castle War with Julius Belmont), but Konami has to let him do it...
But we all know that's never going to happen... :(
*SOBS FOREVER IN BLOODY TEARS*
Julius is my favorite and he's only ever been a Julius mode playable character, lol! That and Harmony of Despair, that's really what they should do again if they ain't gonna make anything new, unlimited maps to choose from to mix and match and characters and bosses as well!
Konami will only let him do it if it is a pachinko machine.
The demon castle war has no importance.
@@davidmeans9505 Oh ok, the time were Julius Belmont permanently killed Dracula...
That doesn't sound important at all...
But seriously, do you even know what Castlevania is?
@@card44 Dracula came back in some form less than fifty years later. The castle war did nothing.
Dracula: "I have returned!"
Belmonts: "Just another day at the office..."
I wish Bloodstained gets so successful. Successful enough that Igarashi has enough cash to buy the Castlevania license from Konami and continue the storyline...but one can only dream.
if Iga just makes the Game where Julius kills Dracula in 1999, that would be sweet being able to see just how strong julius was in his prime, being the strongest vampire hunter
Imo Bloodstained: rotn is the best "Castlevania" gameplaywise. So maybe someday Iga will have the rights and fuse both games into one timeline :D
I hope Bloodstained gets so big and successful it begins a new franchise. Kind of like how Castlevania started out and became a huge legacy.
Metal Gear V is successful, very successful, and look where Kojima and the series right now. Only konami.
@@BerryBabaBear
What do you mean? Kojima is fine, his new game is hyped af. Metal Gear is over. Konami is like a game classic graveyard. That doesnt mean, that Kojima cant land new hits without there old franchises.
If Konami had only a small amount of respect, they would let talents like IGA or Kojima do whatever they want to do. Because they are the brains, the reason why those franchises were that excellent.
And if Konami doesnt plan to develop new MGS or Castlevania titles, they should honor Kojima and Iga and give them the rights for free. Its their work, their babies, not konamis.

Corporate Needs you to tell us the difference between these pictures
Picture 1: Dracula Picture 2: Soma Cruz
Simon Belmont: they’re the same picture
*Thats my joke, Dwight*
I said Simon because I thought some of the older generations of Belmonts would be less willing to believe he isn’t gonna kill everyone
We got a new Contra coming...Now we need Castlevania: War of 1999.
We really do need one for 1999. That would make the whole entire story come together and make a lot more sense, since there is still a slight gap on what happened in between.
If only Konami gave IGA that chance to complete the circle. Only thing we can do now is wait for something happen like Konami selling the Intellectual Property Rights and IGA manage to get it in some sort of bid. Now we can be given a guarantee it will finally come true. He might make a cross over between Castlevania and Bloodstained if that comes to pass.
SnakeHiggins I would definitely love to see the Battle of 1999, a 19 year old Julius, the badassery of Alucard, the Belnades clan and the Hakuba Clan, my question is Handheld or on an actual console?

It's not canon i think
@@justanotherfs8631 No, it's canon. I checked.
@@seerus1351 check again, its not
@@halo3boy1 I literally just checked in response to your comment. It's still canon, unless they change their minds right this second.
One of the best iterations. Wish they OoE, Portrait, and Soma’s 2 games to current gen. I would pay good money to play those again.
5:37 This is partially incorrect. Hector did not fight against Dracula in 'the war' after he defected. He went into hiding.
In a way the Belmont and Belnades clan are distantly related right due to Trevor and Sypha getting married
Belmont: *kills Dracula*
Dracula: now hold on
Since the netflix series has revitalized interest in the franchise I think a remake of the classic platformers would be cool. Maybe like a 3ed person adventure game?
They already did that with Castlevania 64, Legacy of Darkness, Lament of Innocence, and Curse of Darkness. Not to mention the Lords of Shadow games.
@prof.laytonfan764 yeah but a more modern remake. Imagine a souls-like castlevania. Vampyr would be a good example

The relationship between the Belnades and the Belmonts is very straight forward, Bernhard (as in Walter Bernhard), Belnades (as in every Belnades throughout the timeline) and Fernandez (yes Fernandez, if you wanna put Castlevania64 in the time line) are the same familly the difference is how it was translated from the Japanese. They are all decendants of Walter Bernhard the evil vampire who turned Sara, Lion's betrothed, into a night creture allowing the creation of the vapire killer. Some time later, Trevor the great son (more or less) of Leon have a son with Silpha Belnades (Descendant of Walter) And then the Belmonts and the Belnades intertwined (if you know what I mean). So Simon is actually Simon Belmont Belnades, and then a couple of hundreds of years later, when Richter meets Maria they are actually blood related, they are cousins on some degree, they are even related to Dracula's soul if you take under account that the soul that Mathias stole using the crimson stone, was the soul of the First Belnades.
The best example of a Belmont showing his Belnades lineage as well is Juste. Dude gets magical tomes & casts awesome spells. Some people say that his blue aura signals his Belnades roots.
However, I'm really surprised by the way his name was pronounced in this video. I had been pronouncing it Jus-tay.
I have faith that Konami will let us down.
Lol
Oh fasho without a motherfucking doubt

Konami should work out some sort of lucrative deal with a third party if they’re gonna be this lazy. Let them do whatever they want with the series but in exchange Konami takes 30% of the profits or something.
I liked the story where Alucard and Sonia Belmonts have kids & all the Belmonts you play latter in game are great(x) grand kids killing their grand daddy Dracula. .

@@jackmiltons5979 ...Dang it, Bobby! :'D
Leon is my favourite so far, with Juste and or Trevor fighting for second place.
Gabriel is my favourite Belmont overall, his story is just amazing and cool. But with the canon universe I'll have to go with Trevor, Leon, Richter, and Julius in that order.
Trevor because of the anime, Leon because he's the start, Richter because of the upcoming anime, and Julius because he's (said to be) the strongest.
Juese
Julius might not have been able to defeat Dario, but it was mentioned in the game he was able to slay all the other monsters he fought against without the use of using a seal. Soma mentions doing so should've been impossible.
This was very interesting. It got me fully caught up on the Belmont family and Castlevania in general.
"Simon Belmont, born 1669.... NIIIIIICE"
Great job, well thought out and put together video!
Glad you enjoyed it! The team really knows their stuff and made this a blast to present. :D
really cool video,dude! i played (and i am a fan of CV since ) the first CV on NES 1991 when i was 11 years old.nice to see the family tree made really good like you did 👍
Great explanation! Great job, Mario. Hope to see you in future videos!
Tbh, I like Gabriel Belmont lineage too (Castlevania reboot). His tragic descent is just as fitting to earn Dracula The Dragon title.
I agree. Kinda prefer that timeline
Yeah its more fitting and tragic I think
Me: **Sees thumbnail** _Wait a minute._
Hol up
For real
Reagan Torrey
The possible, plausible speculation on why Richter gave up the legendary whip was that he cursed both his and any part of the Belmont blood line from ever touching the Vampire Killer (without it now causing harm to the wielder), via him being cursed by Shaft to act as the lord of Dracula's castle that Alucard and Maria discovered in SOTN.
Every vampire is gangsta till they hear the name Belmont
Belmont Family: *exist*
Soma Cruz: *_ok boomers_*
Ricther Belmont and Trevor Belmont are my favorite characters.
I didn't know the story of Curse of Darkness, so it's neat to see how tightly it fits with the Netflix show.
try this
ruclips.net/video/EKtFfLq2BZE/видео.html
The show doesn’t follow the game at all.
Order of Ecclesia's town people in Wygol Village are Belmont Descendants. It's why they were kidnapped
Thank you for making this video.
While I was watching this i just got a notification that Man at Arms Reforged is coming back..their first new project? Alucard's sword from the Castlevania Netflix series..talk about timing!

😐
Aria of sorrow is too dope one of my favorite castlevania
Its too bad you dont get the jaguar i think dash ability till the very end of the game
The more side branches the Belmonts have the more it seems that they... got around...
Also the Belnades are apparently meant to be Trevor's descendants as well but some took the Belmont name and others the Belnades name. Or at least thats what I remember right now.
I mean we are talking about hundreds and hundreds of years here. As long as someone along the line had more than one kid there's going to be side branches of the family tree that aren't in the line of vampire killer succession.
@@CoyoteXLI oh I'm aware. But the fact so many people are Belmont by blood but not by name is still kinda funny
What can ya say when dealing with supernatural evil of the highest order it pays to have lots of contigincy plans heck it wouldn't surprise me they were number 2 in lineage behind ghengis
@@caridadchang7895
If you take into account how populations work in the real world, there shouldn't be too many people in mainland Europe who are NOT descendants of Leon by 1999.

Enjoyed this vid, I'm mad curious about Castlevania
Perfection incarnate, excellent video
Soma is Mathias Cronqvist reincarnated,Mina is Elizabetha and Julius is Leon.
At least this time Darkness was contained and the soul of a innocent wasn't tortured.
Graham Jones is Joachim Armster.
@@HsienKoMeiLingFormerYANG That or he could be Walter Bernhard.
Only the part about Soma being Mathias is cannon...the rest is speculation.
@@Brucifer2 I remember that there was an interview with Igarashi once where he implied that Lisa was the reincarnation of Elisabetha.
Soma I believe because it’s confirmed in-game. The rest are just theories and rumours.
Julius is just Leon’s descendant and there’s nothing really special about Elizabetha so I highly doubt she was reincarnated ever.
I think Richter handed over the vampire killer to the Morris family because of a prophecy stating the Belmont’s must wait until Dracula’s resurrection in 1999 in order to truly defeat him. Something like that, I’m probably missing details.
Julius: god damn it Jonathan
Damn, great commentary. Learned something new. I pulled the anchor up after beating Castlevania 2.
Thank you for this explanation!
Man, I do prefer the new design of the Castlevania characters to the old ones.
Especially Isaac.
I remember reading somewhere that actually Julius never married and never got an heir, due to being to young when fighting Drácula and being trapped in the castle all those years, Julius might actually be the last Belmont
But maybe if Curtis hadn't died he will be his sucessor
I like this video man. Not too hard to follow even though I did rewind like 7 different times.
Excellect video Mario thank you!
“We can only guess as to why.” 13:02
I don’t know why everyone misses this. It’s literally spelled out in Order of Ecclesia and Portrait of Ruin. The Belmonts went into hiding and gave up the Vampire Killer because Richter’s incident in Symphony of the Night proved that the Belmonts were now mentally vulnerable to the evil they fight. Thus, they needed the next two hundred years to recover quietly in order to prepare for the final showdown in 1999. If one of Dracula’s minions could corrupt a Belmont into doing their bidding, then humanity would stand no chance against Dracula.
I wish they would make an anime for the leon belmont arc... loved that game in ps2
Very good review. Bravo! :)
4 years later Richter Belmont is getting his own sequel series
With Grimoire of Souls released it has shed some light on some questions in the main timeline on why Richter gave the Vampire killer whip to the Morris family and many more
I do have to say i like Lord of Shadows‘ Belmont treeline (and Dracula‘s origin story in that matter) more than the original one.
For one, Dracula is actually far more epic than the original and his connection to the Belmonts is actually far deeper than „he is the former friend of a Belmont who turned Evil“. *Gabriel Belmont* is the first Belmont you follow who tries to defeat the forces of Evil. He is also „God‘s chosen one“. After defeating *Satan* (yep, *THE* Satan) he then ventured to the Chaos Realm (if i remember correctly) and from there became *Dracula,* prince of Darkness. So the first Belmont that managed to defeat the greatest Evil became then the main Antagonist of the series. And thr *coolest* part is, Gabriel is technically still God‘s chosen one, meaning that he can also withstand the power of light and Holy Weapons. In fact, the only way Dracula was „defeated“ was when the Holy Cross Whip was rammed into his heart and left there. If the cross is being removed, his Body will regenerate, meaning that Dracula is pretty much immortal.
Gabriel‘s son is *Trevor Belmont.* He was given the Quest to kill Gabriel after he became the Lord of Darkness with the same weapon Gabriel used to kill Satan. Yet, in the battle, Trevor was killed by Dracula. But in the final moments, Dracula found out Trevor is his son. So in a desperate actuon to keep his son Alive, he turned him into a Vampire too. Dracula‘s son, *Alucard.*
After Trevor failed and turned into Alucard, the world thought every hope was lost as Dracula‘s power rise more and more. Skip many years later and Trevor‘s son became a strong and adult warrior. His name, *Simon Belmont.* Simon, just like his father, took the holy Cross Whip and marched on to defeat Dracula. And with the help of Alucard, he became the first Belmont that managed to defeat Dracula, making the Belmonts a true Monster Hunting name. Simon also never knew Dracula (Gabriel) and Alucard (Trevor) are his Father and Grandfather. He thought both just died.
I also love Lords of shadow. I have yet to play the second one.
I don’t know why but I keep watching this multiple times
Great video!
i thought it was explained that the reason the whip was handed to the morris family was because of richters curse he tained the belmont blood. Once Johnathan cleansed the curse from richter thats when they were able to return the whip to the main family.
Richter 's reason for his disappearance.
Richter: I don't wanna keep fighting monsters anymore....Momma i'm tired.
If I ever had a construction company I would love a customer like Dracula. Always rebuilding.
considering the new trailer. This video has helped a lot..4 years later
