The Beauty of Juste Belmont
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 сен 2024
- The grandson of the famous Simon Belmont, Juste was born 50 years after the events of Simon's Quest during the middle stage of Dracula's revival cycle. And while he was never expected to hunt the dark lord himself. Due too a schism between him and his childhood best friend Maxim he had too take up his families whip and save his friends.

Apologizes for my mispronunciation of "Belnades". I can completely understand if that reading weakened this video overall for you, due to my dyslexia I have always read the name as Blanders for years. So it stuck in my vocabulary, I thought I had kicked the bad habit but I missed it during the recording process of this video. (Partly because I was more concerned with trying too getting Juste's name right) So this slipped my mind. I also learned it's Wraith not Wrath, which I didn't notice until just recently.
Juste was also not the last Belmont before break, Richter was
@@ShadowRealmZ373 What I said was Juste is the last playable Belmont based on game releases, not the last Belmont in terms of the timeline, I specified that and even mentioned he Richter in the video.
@@MetiNotTheBadGuy Oh okay thanks for clarifying , though technically incorrect still since Leon would be last playable main character Belmont in Lament of Innocence, ironically being first Belmont, so that's why I was confused
But anyway not trying to hate, just really love Castlevania and want to make sure it's accurate, but all good dude, love the vids regardless
you really "Blanders" that one
Fellow dyslexic here, I feel you. Did't bother me
Simon: I need to destroy Dracula's body parts before he revives
Richter: I need to save Maria and the other girls from Shaft ritual
Juste: I need to find a chair for this random room
Soma: what the hell is going on
@@larsnyman2455
Dracula Soma: WHO THE HELL CHANGED THIS ROOM?!
Richter: _Completely trashing the other room in the background_
Juste: darn i have to beat dracula and i have no time To waste..... You know what, this room really needs a cat statue
Ah yes... the TRUE endgame.
The reason why Juste deserves to get all the love is because he's a good interior designer.
He probably founded Ikea.
😂
Ikea secretly funds the Belmont Clan/Vampire hunting business ala Speedwagon Foundation
Juste is probably the only Belmont that knows how to actually run; You know, instead of just aggressively power walking.
Richter and Julius both run as well. xD
@@Wiseman108 expect it's a secret for all us newbies that haven't figured that out yet
@@Wiseman108 Fun Fact: the Belmont Whip is inspired by Indiana Jones.
😂🤣🤣
@@Niborino9409 What's so funny?????
Maxim," Thank you Juste, for saving me". Lydia," Also thank you Juste, for saving me". Juste stands in solemn silence. Maxim," Uh Juste, you Okay?" Juste extends his gaze and a hand towards the crumbling Castlevania. "The roooommm", is all he whispers
Now that's funny. Thanks for the laugh my friend.
YOU'RE TEARING ME APART LYDIE!!
That useless room!
"I...I spent so much time on that room"
What is this fabled room?
I love the Juste is such a pretty boy, but is an immediate descendent of the brick shithouse that is Simon Belmont
It’s a whole Johnathan Joestar to Giorno situation
Seems like an appropriate tradeoff for his broken magic. Almost none of the other Belmonts are that magically gifted.
Even if we considered Chronicles Simon… he’s still a fucking wall in terms of muscle but just a little more _GHEY,_ guess he didn’t train physically huh?
What I love about Juste is he has the freakiest, most horrifying version of the castle of all the Belmonts with the game taking on WAYYY more a Horror style, and still comes out just fine only worrying about his friends
Hey, every Belmont must face their devils, Leon is facing the fact that good doesn’t prevail at times, Trevor is his lone Wolf mentality in CoD, Richter is his lust for combat, Julius is his age and accepting the world doesn’t need another Belmont ironically and what more to test Juste than his friend’s livelihood because of Maxim’s desire to be like Simon?
And worrying about an empty unfurnished room
I've always seen him as the fastest Belmont who else leaves afterimages just by *jumping*
reasons to never skip legday honestly
You know someone in a metroidvania is strong when they can dash BOTH WAYS
@@milob.4322 Bisexual dash.
@@impossibletetriz563 that's too good 😂😂😂
@@impossibletetriz563 at what level do I gain this ability I wanna flex on my friends
Besides Leon, juste is my favorite. From his design and the fact he uses magical powers it’s a shame he doesn’t get the respect he deserves. The most slept on Belmont in the bloodline without a doubt
I think what hurts him is that people see his design and they think he's just a Alucard 2.0 when he's so much more.
“The most slept on Belmont in the bloodline” guess you’ve never heard of Soleiyu or Desmond
@@Bingo_the_Pug are those the ones from the gameboy titles?
I know that Juste is underrated, but he isn't as underrated as Christopher and his son
@Charles Hastings Fun Fact: the Belmont Whip is inspired by Indiana Jones.
He kind of just looks a refined dante from devil may cry. Both are even inspired by Europeans.
“Haha, this gathering is about to become quite rowdy!”
“Jackpot.”
@@thebaseandtriflingcreature174 yup checks out😂
Juste clearly was based off of alucard off of the criticism of circle of the moon.
Juste isn't just a great fighter or amazing spell caster.
He's great at interior decorating.
What does circle of the moons criticism have to do with Justes design? Can u elaborate cuz that was one of my favorite Castlevanias.
MY KIND OF GUY
@@FloresRainCircle of the Moon came out on the original GBA, which had no backlight. That meant it was a very dark game and hard to see it without an external source of light. Harmony of Dissonace fixed this by making Juste and the castle very bright so that people could play the game on the original GBA.
He is the most special Belmont which is why he's my favorite of them all. A big reason why people think he is the weakest Belmont is because he never really faced the real Dracula. But really it's not his fault nor his choice. Really if he is given the chance to actually face Dracula, i bet he can destroy him in no time. His magic is so diverse and his mana is almost infinite actually. His MP capacity is so high! Also he can heal! And not to mention his speed! Like so many things he can that other belmonts can't do. I honestly think he is the strongest Belmont just born in a wrong time where he can't shine
Nah, both Simon and Richter were stronger. Simon was simply a beast who defeated Dracula, and survived a curse that was sapping his life by going through several towns and castles, and then killing Dracula again. He had no magic power despite having the same Belnades bloodline. He was simply that tough. I don't see Juste having the stamina to go through all that Simon did.
As for Richter, while I don't rate him as being as physically powerful as Simon nor as magically powerful as Juste, he comes close behind both, making him overall more powerful than either. Richter IS described as the strongest Belmont overall by this point in time, only surpassed by Julius centuries later.
That being said, I don't see Juste as the weakest Belmont. I tend to rank them as Julius, Richter, Simon, Juste, Trevor, Leon, Christopher, with the other Belmonts being worthy but not as powerful as those guys. In a family of badasses, those seven were exceptional even for it. So Juste IS powerful. Just not the most powerful. Also, in my headcanon, it's Juste who taught Richter magic.
Also: Credit to Leon having probably been the strongest Belmont ever for nearly four centuries. The Belmont Clan had a strong base to build upon.
@Ares99999 the lack of stamina when you can definitely see him dashing through the castle back and forth. It still doesn't remove the fact that he didn't have the choice of not being able to face those stronger than dracula you say. This argument is basically like people asking if who is stronger Soma or Julius where there is no official conclusion but people can just have their own bias opinions
Canonically, Richter is the strongest Belmont. Juste is stronger than Simon
@@Alouette_EXE agreed, Ares is overlooking the fact that Juste boosts his physical capabilities with magic.
Which could be an inconvenience _if_ he runs out, but he never does. The dude is a literal magical reactor. While we don't have any indicator on "how strong he can get", I can easily see him matching Simon's physical prowess.
I personally don't like to compare them, since Simon reached the physical pinnacle by pure determination, while Juste...well, he can "cheat" his way there.
@@Yokai_Yuri The only thing that's official is Julius being a strongest one and Konami stated it themselves. But after that, none of the rest are mentioned to be the next strongest. Well sure I can consider Julius being the strongest one based on what we canonically see. But sometimes there are just potentials that are not shown. Like Juste's potential
Destroying the castle was such a waste of good furniture.
-Juste in the epilogue
Juste is so underrated he's honestly my favorite
Comically underlooked honestly
@@iosifstalin2501 ikr he's really cool but is just overshadowed by all his counterparts
Trevor, Simon and Richter are basically the big three of the bloodline.
@@bloomblock2768 yeah it's sad everyone overlooks Leon Christopher and juste heck even Julius
Juste is cool. Honestly, Harmony of Dissonance was my favorite of the GBA games. Aria of Sorrow was cool and all, but it didn't have the gloomy atmosphere that Harmony of Dissonance displayed. Also, Harmony of Dissonance had a better soundtrack despite the sound quality.
The blue aura was really just there so you could see him clearly while playing him on the classic, un-backlit GBA.
It's also why the color pallette of the game in general is much brighter than CotM.
True, but it fits his magical nature too, it can be both.
(Though, to be fair, Maxim has it too when you unlock him as a playable character)
@@js1059 It is both. The presence of a real-world reasoning behind it does not negate its in-world reasoning.
Juste is a castle flipper, he turns the worst castle you can find and furnishes it impeccably while killing everything evil in it.
Successor of Fate (Juste's Theme) is one of the most underappreciated Castlevania theme songs and is my absolute favorite in the series
Juste is my favorite Belmont, he's such a cool character with cool magic powers, and he can dash both ways. That's just badass.
Belmont clan went from "I'LL KILL YOU *AND* THE NIGHT" to "hmm, y'know what? I think this room needs another candelabra after getting that raccoon statue, I'm thinkin' silver this time"
When this game came out, I was completely unaware of how convoluted the Castlevania timeline is because the order Konami put them out. For the longest time I thought this was a sequel to SotN because of Juste's design and abilities and it made me thought that he was Alucard's son. Felt that disappointment years later that he wasn't, solidifying the fact that Alucard and Maria never got together in the end due to Alucard's self-loathing 😢
Juste predates SOTN making it impossible for him to be Alucard's son, But if it makes you feel better they did end up together in Nocturne of Recollection
…. Honestly @@ShadowRealmZ373? Juste being the son of Alucard and Maria seems… pretty ok for some reason, he share very glaring aspect of Alucard, but he share aspect of Maria as well, but the timeline dictates that he’s the father of Richter so….
@@James-oj6ru Well it's impossible in sense that Alucard was asleep, and Maria wasn't even born, and Yea Juste is related to Ricther, but it's not known if it's father or more likely grandfather
@@James-oj6ru Koji Igarashi comfirmed that he regrets the timeline.
Yeah I know @@orangeslash1667, he made the timeline as a guideline for everyone to attempt to not make the game a confusing mess… but he regretted releasing the thing as it forces the series to go on a very linear straight path with not much freedom other than Frederic Belmont or… following the Morris’s mishaps whatever
Me: "Mom can we get a Jojo game?"
Mon: "We already have a Jojo game at home."
*Jojo game at home*
... This will do...
Eyes of Heaven or All Star Battle?
Honestly, though, despite the influences, Castlevania is an entirely different beast compared to JoJo
@@theraymunator As someone who's a huge fan of both...no, they're pretty similar.
Old Juste just appeared in Castlevania Nocturne on Netflix.
And they make him a bitter old man 🙄
@@sweetcinnamonpnchkinthey killed his wife man
And they ruined him as the show does with 99% of the characters featured there
@@funeralfrogmmm and? A character may be impacted by that but they can still move on.
He is probably the strongest spellcaster in belmont bloodline
The magic system in Justes games is really fun. I always enjoyed playing HoD on my gameboy when I was younger.
Juste is a personal favourite of the Belmont clan, and one of the best Castlevania games in the series, at least in my opinion. Hearing these deep dives into this series, really just pumps me up for the rest of the day, so thank you so much for doing this task. Keep up the good work, and have a nice day.
Didn’t expect to see the Grayfruit comment section’s resident bard here
@@spinge1523 My legend grows I see. While I am a bard, it is in my nature to travel and try to spread joy over the land.
In all honesty it feels weird being recognised for my work in other areas, but puts a smile on my face none the less. Thanks for this, I hope you have a nice day.
I came here from Castlevania Nocturne to know more about him
thank you Meti for the video
Netflix sent me here.
I felt like they didn’t do juste justice in the new Castlevania animated series
Too but it was cool to see him train Richter and get a few shots and himself
@@kingj9664 definitely. i hope he gets a shot at a redemption arc in later seasons.
The saddest thing to hear was that Juste's happy ending wasn't so happy in the long run. The saddest thing to see was the squalor that The Premier Interior Decorator of the Belmonts was living in.
Luckily, that's an alternate timeline unless said otherwise.
I'm like 90% sure it is. So many details don't like up with the games.
Shout out to all Castlevania fans
Thats damn rite
@@satansjihad6353 Fun Fact: the Belmont Whip is inspired by Indiana Jones.
Guess we gotta wait for a DS collection for you to finally touch Order of Ecclesia
Agreed. Shanoa ain't getting enough love these days.
[Edit: Even auto-correct is staying true to cannon by thinking I meant 'Shania'. Yeesh!]
@@TheDevilsGreatestTrick Shanoa is one of my favorite characters
Same applies to johnathan morris & charlotte aluin.
juste belmont is back in nocturne
He's old but it's nice to see he still has it in him.
I'm also here because of Castlevania Nocturne in where the show made Juste Belmont into one of those granddads who looks like he's out on a country rock road trip and stop by every bar in America while trying not to get into a bar fight, but ends up starting one, but he's French.
The Belmont clan is all descended from French since the days of Leon. Belmont is a French name. It all works out.
@@acgearsandarms1343 That is true, which is why Nocturne takes place during the French Revolution. If Castlevania gets another spinoff series once Nocturne ends, where would the story of the new spinoff take place? Will it have the characters from Legacy of Darkness and have it set during the Victorian Era?
@@samflood5631 I would be interested to see how the Morris Clan or even the Hakuba Clan get intertwined into the Belmont Clan to explore their take on future games. Lots of possibilities. But first, we need a second season of Nocturne.
@@acgearsandarms1343 True.
They brought our boy back. Castlevania Nocturne BABY!
2 years latter this video will now blow up in views thanks netflix
They did him dirty in the anime he only live in a cabin with no furnitures 😂😂😂
Makes sense they didnt make Juste the MC of the netflix show. Because if they did, Richter would have been Jotaro Kujo. If that makes sense.
Major reason I'm here because Castlevania nocturne this helped a lot
Who’s here after watching Castlevania Nocturne?😂
Yusss
When I first seen Juiced Belmont in the early 2000’s, my first thought was “omg they brought back Alucard”
Belmont too cool to fight Dracula
Put down whip and equip spatula
Can't fight Drac if the Belmont dies
Touchin' ladies' thighs to keep the name alive
Doesn't fight Dracula
Only makes pancakes
Would be a hero
He's four and a half decades late!
BASED AND JUESEPILLED
Juste is probably my most favourite Belmont in the series,the other characters that I like aren't Belmonts though (Soma, Shanoa, Jonnathan and Charlotte)
Man i was disappointed by his characterization in Nocturne
This but with 99% of the characters that appeared in that show
Who is here because of Castlevania Nocturne?
Me.
Agent Smith: Me too.
You mean Grandad Juste?
I came back to revisit the comments because of Nocturne.
One major feature in Harmony of dissonance compared to Circle of the moon is that you don’t have Invincibility frames, so for a lot of the bosses, I just used the Bible+Ice book (which you can get before the first boss and deals a ton of damage with great range) and the Bible+Bolt book for backtracking due to being active even after you save.
Disclaimer: You do have I-frames when using sub weapons with the books.
I can't believe this. Castlevania is a jojo reference.
Who came here after watching Castlevania Nocturne?
Funny you should mention this game is basically "Symphony of the night 2" since the idea of decorating a room was actually planned for Symphony of the Night.
Something I really love that I doubt was intentional but might be. Juste has the whip, legacy, and fighting style of a Belmont. He's also descended from the Belnades and has their focus on magic. He also has the overall aesthetic of Dracula/Alucard, it plays a lot like Symphony of the Night, and he has enough of a connection with Castlevania to at least create a little room of his own in it (and I believe he can sit in chairs, that's important). So he's like the convergence point of the series three main bloodlines. As well as the three heroes of Castlevania 3 that get the most attention (Sorry Grant... again.)
The way he fastly and consecutively throw knives at enemies is absolutely badass.
I am never upset when it comes to more castlevania content! Thanks we need more content creators takes/deep dives on the franchise
I mean by just looking at the thumbnail the man is beauty itself
the forward and back dash combined with his love of interior decorating make Juste one of my favorite belmonts, just such a good boyo
Juste Belmont is my favorite of them all.
He's so powerful he can summon ultimate magic spells.
Ok Belnades is pronounced 'bell-nah-des'
I don't even know where they are getting the pronunciation "Blanders" from.
Sometimes, Belnades is changed to Fernandez (Fēr-nan-des)
Ok, I thought I had missed something when he kept saying "Blanders".
@agent_bolt Wrong, OP is right
belnaDEEZ NUTS
Blanders? wtf?
What next? Simon Flanders?
Harmony of dissonance and Circle of the moon not only the magic system but the story plot point is quite similar for both games too. Juste/Nathan Maxim/Hugh
Thanks netflix for reminding me of this character.
Henry from silent hill 4, could've used Juste's help with his apartment.
Juste is a cool Belmondo. This game is pretty underrated still honestly, but I quite like it.
Video was recommended to me at the moment i finished the episode he appears in😂
The most OP Belmont. The strenght and skill with the whip of the Belmonts, and the inteligence and skill with magic of the Belnades'.
Juste plays Wiz Khalifa "see you again" while drinking a bottle of Jack Daniels as he reminisces on the sweet memories of his beloved furniture
Maxim: Hey bro don't you think you had enough? I mean we can always hit up Rent-A-Center, c'mon man let's go...
Juste: (Throws bottle in disgust)
GET OUTTA MY FACE!!! YOU DONT UNDERSTAND MAXY!! YOU DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO DECORATE!!!!!!
Juste is my favorite Belmont. I like Julius, I like Richter, and I like Kokoro, but Juste is such a fun guy, his game is also really underrated xD
- V.D.
I forgot how amazing harmonies graphics look✨
I just realized that…(spoilers)
Richter in Nocturne uses Juste’s style of magic enhanced fisticuffs in combat. Nice callback.
Yeah that is pretty cool
Another detail is that a lot of people in the fandom think Juste is an albino, people who have always been compared with real vampires because of their sun sensitivity
This video is eerily accurate to how Juste describes himself in Nocturne with his magical prowess. Or better said that Nocturne is accurate to this video.
Hopefully he'll get them back next season.
OUR BOY HAS RETURNED!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it wrong to get a the beauty of nathan graves because man after playing circle of the moon for the first time thanks to castlevania collection I gotta say he looks like a interesting character to dissect plus dss is by far the coolest thing ever.
Juste just the magic man
BRO IVE ALWAYS LOVED JUSTE, thanks METI!!!
Someone cheated with Alucard down the line I am sure of it
I'd be more surprised if someone didn't
Just is my favorite belmont because not only is he a departure from other belmonts he has his own flair. Much like Richter and some of the other's but he takes it to the next level and I like how even though he wasn't fated to be the one to fight dracula 100 years later he ends up fighting a version of him anyhow, like a total badass.
I just appreciate how weird Juste is in comparison to other Belmonts. I wish Nocturne gave him more Justice. They didn’t even give his hut nice looking furniture or show his intense speed/after images.
Hopefully they will show flash backs of his youth.
Love these castlevania videos, feels liks such an untapped treasure trove of super interesting lore that not many people even know about
Thank you for improving my life today with that lightning attack name
The beauty of shanoa from order of eclessia please
Whats with jrpgs and the elemental Trinity of Fire Ice and Lightning/Thunder
They're the First 3 Spells of the Black Mage in Final Fantasy 1. Every JRPG Does it this way to Honor Traditions
@@HyperFlame64V1 Hironobu Sakaguchi clearly got the concept from somewhere else. And don't say D&D. I'm referring to the OG source. There has to be something in mythology that involves fire ice and lightning as a Trinity
Dunno. I always associated it as the primary elements dragons would use in final fantasy.
Even when I click on Castlevania, it somehow connects back to JoJo
Cognazzo soul in aria, zypher, the chronomage soul that's just the sorrow games references to jojo
I find it funny that for Juste being cursed means he has to walk like every other Belmont
Juste and Julius are my favorite. Thank you for the vid ❤️
Glad best boy is getting his due.
Juste HAS to show up in the netflix series PLEASE!
He might have a role nocturne
Spoilers
You got your wish
@@Multienderguy37 you are so lucky i binged the whole season. but yes i screamed
What yall think of juste in castlevania nocturne now?
I know that it may be a short video, but is there any way that you could do an episode on Joachim from Castlevania: Lament of Innocence? Always found him interesting, but no one ever talks about him. Such a missed opportunity for such a cool character. (Well, imo)
Yeah, I wish he would have appeared more, as a villain or anti-hero.
I just got done playing Harmony of Dissonance and was wondering about another Castelevania video from you.
Juste really seemed to like uncle Alucard 😂
Everyone keeps saying they did him dirty in the show but I don't see it. Its only the first season and Juste only had two episodes and we still dont know everything. If I have ever seen an obvious set up for an arc it would be that.
In truth the show has bad writing imo so really imo castlevania nocturn did the castlevania series dirty. Though it's not cannon so I honestly could care less. I mean if I liked the direction I would watch more but nah I'm good personally.
YES HERE WE GO ANOTHER CV ANALYSIS
I always like to learn about these kinds of Balmonts characters
MY FAVORITE BELMONT LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Technically, if you consider the timeline instead of game release, Alucard and Richter had seen a similar Castlevania to what Juste witnessed.
No joke-at this point I mostly just watch through the vids to see how youre going to wrap Shimoneta into the ending😂🤣😂
Ah yes Juiced Belmont
I literally just finished playing Harmony of Dissonance when this video dropped
Excellent editing
"special friend" Maxim....
I just want a video comparing castlevania to jojo
I desperately need it in my life
Well Phantom Blood is basically Bram Stoker's Fist of the North Star, so there would be a lot of overlap even if Castlevania _didn't_ start throwing in actual jojokes
How did Polnareff make it into Castlevania
