Greetings
Few months ago, we had a new Castlevania Nocturne season and it's about time we put the revisions in motion, here, I seek to cover two main topics about the characters: Their new scaling + the feat used for it and UES (that will affect Trevor's era aswell), that being the reason why are scaling said feat to their physicals
Attack Potency and Scaling
By Season 1, Nocturne already had presented us with one character, Erzebet, while using Sekhmet's power, creating an Eclipse in order to block sunlight and let vampires roam free. It's important to know that this feat is done while Erzebet had 1/3 of Sekhmet's power only, as her soul is divided by 3 during the series, one with Erzebet, and the second one was in a museum and later absorbed by Erzebet aswell, alongside Annete taking the third one in the Spirit World
So, for scaling, we these notable events during the seasons:
Therefore, we have:
3X the Eclipse = Sekhmet, NC Sekhmet Drolta (Base was already scaling to the eclipse + 2/3 of Sekhmet), Red Eye Alucard, Full Power Richter (5-B)
2X the Eclipse = 2/3 Sekhmet Erzebet (5-B)
<2x the Eclipse = Base Richter, Dragon Maria and Juste (5-B)
1X the Eclipse = Base Alucard, Dragon Olrox, Sekhmet Annete (Low 5-B+)
<1X the Eclipse = Julia Belmont (Low 5-B+)
Already entering into hax territory, over the course of what seems to be just a few days, he undergoes an immense power jump, going from being completely stomped by 1/3 Erzebet to a level where he can challenge and damage a stronger version of her and even match an even more powerful foe (Drolta). This shift occurs without any extensive training or noticeable power-ups, at least not one big enough to close the gap that is about to be from 9-B (Richter's current tier) all the way to 5-B. After his awakening, I believe he was already approaching this level of power, but characters like him and Season 1 Maria and Drolta are now on a dubious level, lower than Low 5-B+, which is Ezrzebet's level when they first fought and got obliterated
With that in mind, I suggest to we list only the final version of the characters, considering it took just a few days for them to reach the ending levels, it's more likely their awakening was basically to reach said AP over the course of days. One could also argue an insane accelerated development that pushed them from an unknown number above 9-B all the way to 5-B, which would also explain why Richter in a span of minutes can first match Erzebet with the help of Juste and Maria to match Drolta, but I'll wait opinions on that.
The Attack Potency description for the characters:
Richter Belmont:
At least Wall level (can trade blows with vampires and Night Creatures), higher against supernatural beings with Whip (while his whip doesn't cause monsters to explode like Trevor's whip or the Morning Star, it has shown the ability to impart unnaturally high amounts of force upon monsters on its receiving end, being capable of blowing apart the skulls of vampires and Night Creatures, and could knock back a crowd of vampires all at once with a single lash) | Planet level (Grew stronger overtime after reawakening his magic. Matched Erzebet when she had 2 parts of Sekhmet's soul merely days before she overpowered him, and later fought Night Creature Drolta after she absorbed Erzebet's powers) [153 Zettatons]
Keys: Suppressed | Awakened
Speed: Supersonic (can keep up with foes that can dodge his whip. Dodged a musket shot. Comparable to Annette, who could dodge a Night Creature's high-pressure waterjet cutter, with such waterjets moving at speeds on the order of Mach 3) | Relativistic+ (Matched Erzebet when she had 2 parts of Sekhmet's soul), up to FTL at full power (Evenly matched with Alucard and Drolta)
Lifting Strength: Superhuman (Stronger than the average human, but wasn't capable of recovering his Whip from a Vampire's grip) | Class Z (Matched Erzebet and Drolta in strength)
Maria:
Attack Potency: Unknown physically, up to at least Wall level with summons (Her bird summons can kill Night Creatures, her Lion summon could send Drolda flything through multiple wooden banks) | Unknown physically, up to Planet level with summons (Her Dragon summon could fight and harm Erzebet after she had 2 parts of Sekhmet soul)
Speed: Supersonic (Comparabe to Richter, who dodged a musket shot. Comparable to Annette, who could dodge a Night Creature's high-pressure waterjet cutter, with such waterjets moving at speeds on the order of Mach 3) | Relativistic+ (Capable of keeping up with Vampires and other Night Creatures, aswell as react to Erzebet alongside her summons)
Lifting Strength: Class K for her Lion Familiar (It can match and push Drolda away), up to Class Z with her Dragon summon (It matched Erzebet)
Annette:
Attack Potency: At least Wall level (Capable of fighting multiple Night Creatures and against Vampires like Base Drolda), higher with Weapons and Magic (Her magic made weapons are able to easily tears to night creatures that are comparable to her physically, can break walls and pillars) | Small Planet level+ (Absorbed 1 part of Sekhmet's soul, which, in the hands of Erzebet, was used to create an Eclipse) [51 Zettatons]
Speed: Supersonic (Dodged a Night Creature's high-pressure waterjet cutter, with such waterjets moving at speeds on the order of Mach 3 | Relativistic+ (Could catch Drolta's attack)
Lifting Strength: Unknown or Superhuman, far higher with Magnetism (It needs calcs, but she can move multiple constructs with this) | Class Z (Blocked an attack from Drolta)
Julia Belmont:
Attack Potency: At most Small Planet level+ (Capable of fighting and overpowering Olrox, her Fire Magic forced him to use his Dragon Form, her Ice magic can block his lightning attacks that could harm Night Creature Drolta) [51 Zettatons]
Speed: Relativistic+ (Comparable to Dragon Olrox)
Lifting Strength: Class Z (Blocked and dealt with Dragon Olrox's weight with a single arm)
Olrox:
Unknown (His Base form hasn't shown many feats, but should be comparable, if not superior to most vampires), Small Planet level+ in Dragon Form (Matched and eventually overpowered Night Creature Drolta) [51 Zettatons]
Speed: Relativistic+ in Dragon Form (Kept up and eventually cornered Drolta)
Lifting Strength: Class Z in Dragon Form (Should be superior to Night Creature Drolta)
Juste Belmont
At least Wall level (Can harm vampires like Tera with unarmed blows, staggering her with punches to the face and knocking her back with kicks, and managed to casually crack two of her fingers, causing her to yelp in pain), higher against supernatural beings with Whip (Uses the same leather whip from Trevor Belmont, which is enchanted against night creatures and supernatural beings) | Planet level (A master spellcaster, considered the strongest sorcerer the Belmont line ever produced, who defeated countless vampires and could "roast a whole nest of them with a burst of flames" in his youth, barely needing the whip or other weapons to kill vampires. Able to harm Erzsebet Báthory after she had absorbed 2/3 of Sekhmet's soul and caused the Eclipse) [102 Zettatons]
Keys: Suppressed | Awakened
Speed: Relativistic+ (Kept up with Erzebet)
Lifting Strength: Class Z
Drolta:
Attack Potency: At least Wall level (Stated to be a particularly powerful vampire), higher in her winged form (Matched post awakening Richter to an extent) | Small Planet level+ (Even after losing the parts of Sekhmet's soul, Drolta was still able to keep the Eclipse, with her death being the only thing that actually ended it. Matched Alucard and even overpowered him at a certain point. Completely unfazed by an attack from a weakened Erzebet) [51 Zettatons], up to Planet level with 2 parts of Sekhmet's soul (Added to herself twice the power needed to create the Eclipse. Matched Richter and Alucard) [153 Zettatons]
Speed: Relativistic+ (Kept up with Alucard), up to FTL with 2 parts of Sekhmet's soul
Lifting Strength: Class Z (Her base power can keep the Eclipse going), higher with 2 parts of Sekhmet's soul
Alucard:
Large Building level+ (Stronger than Vampire Generals and feared by them. Was able to fight against a weakened Dracula on hand to hand and actually harm him, whereas Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades were unable to deal any actual damage to his father, though he was ultimately no match. Managed to push back Dracula's fire-ball with help from Trevor and Sypha.) | Small Planet level+ (Can fight evenly against Night Creature Drolta, who even after losing her Sekhmet powers, could still keep the Eclipse) [51 Zettatons], up to Planet level at full power (By powering up and going all out, Alucard was comparable to Richter Belmont and matched Drolta when she had 2/3 of Sekhmet's powers) [153 Zettatons]
Keys: Original Series | Nocturne
Speed: At least Relativistic+ (Faster than before, capable of slicing Drolda while being completely undetected by everyone sorrounding her at the moment, including vampires and a post awakening Richter Belmont), up to FTL at full power (Kept up with Night Creature Drolta even after she absorbed Erzebet's powers)
Lifting Strength: Class Z (Matched Drolta's strength even when she had 2 parts of Sekhmet's powers, 1 of them being anough to move the Moon)
Erzebet Bathory:
Attack Potency: Unknown (Far, far more powerful than Drolda, Olrox and other Vampires, with her presence striking fear on everyone), Small Planet level+ with 1 part of Sekhmet's power (Created an Eclipse) [51 Zettatons], up to Planet level with 2 parts of Sekhmet's powers (Twice as powerful, fought Richter, Maria and Juste for an extended period of time) [102 Zettatons]
Speed: At least Relativistic+ (Should be massively faster than every other vampire on her command, casually reacted to Richter and Maria)
Lifting Strength: Class Z (Capable of quickly moving the moon)
Universal Energy System
We have numerous types of magic in the series, and I want to focus on two: Elemental Magic and Soul Magic
We mainly see elemental magic thanks to the speakers and, later, to the Belmonts. Scaling alone already points to them having similar stats to their magical attacks, but we also see numerous instances where we directly see elemental magic powering up either physical attacks or even weapons like whips and swords
In season 3, we have a character called The Visitor, who attacks Lindenfeld and enters their church, ploting a way to steal the souls of the village. He succeeds, and enters a battle against Trevor Belmont, however, he surprises the good hunter since even after numerous attacks and even being continuosly whiped by the Morning Star, The Visitor was still standing and showing a massive power up from his base form (Who was cornered by regular Walachians), and Saint Germain directly states his current power is thanks to the souls he absorbed
Soul Magic also physically powers up Death after he gathers a bunch of them for his ritual in Season 4
The reason why Soul Magic is relevant is because Nocturne actually gave us a new hax for Vampires: Soul Absorption, thanks to both Erzebet and Drolta absorbing parts of Sekhmet's soul via blood sucking, this is most likely thanks to soul and blood being related in the series. We see how literall this is by the ending, where it is shown in the astral realm all three Sekhmets meeting and fusing into the OG, those parts were the ones used by Annette, Drolta and Erzebet. Last, but certainly not least, we have a direct statement of the Eclipse physically taxing Erzebet
Considering this, Castlevania Animated Series should be considered a verse that has Universal Energy System with its magic and magical feats should scale to their physical stats
The scaling proposed above already uses this logic, however, applying an UES to the series also changes a few things in the OG series, mainly Sypha and Dracula
With all of this, I end this part of the CRT. I plan on making the Hax additions as soon as the scaling and UES gets accepted, although you guys can just add it on the comments here if you want. Thanks for your attention

So, for scaling, we these notable events during the seasons:
- Main feat is Erzebet's Eclipse feat, done when she is powered up by 1/3 of Sekhmet's soul, calced at 51 Zettatons of TNT, Low 5-B+
- Night Creature Drolta maintains the eclipse even after losing all Sekhmet upgrades, if the eclipse only ever stopping after Richter Mecha Freeza'd her, so her new Night Creature base scales to 51 Zets
- Base Alucard scales to Night Creature Drolta, very clear cut
- Dragon Olrox scales to her aswell, as the video above shows, his Dragon Form could push and even eventually corner her
- Julia Belmont actually puts a fight against Dragon Olrox and her spells can block his Lightning Attacks, the same ones used against Drolta
- Base Richter, Juste and Maria scale/downscale to 2/3 Sekhmet Erzebet, rather direct scaling aswell, but since Erzebet here has twice the power she had during the Eclipse feat, they all scale to 102 Zets here
- Full Power Richter and Red Eye Alucard scales to 2/3 Sekhmet Drolta, who's base form already scaled to the eclipse, this is where the verse currently peaks as we have Base NC Drolta + 2/3 of Sekhmet's power, putting them at 153 Zets
- Tera only defeated Juste without Magic, so she doesn't scale to his feats against Erzebet
- Annete should get a new key with 1/3 of Sekhmet's power
Therefore, we have:
3X the Eclipse = Sekhmet, NC Sekhmet Drolta (Base was already scaling to the eclipse + 2/3 of Sekhmet), Red Eye Alucard, Full Power Richter (5-B)
2X the Eclipse = 2/3 Sekhmet Erzebet (5-B)
<2x the Eclipse = Base Richter, Dragon Maria and Juste (5-B)
1X the Eclipse = Base Alucard, Dragon Olrox, Sekhmet Annete (Low 5-B+)
<1X the Eclipse = Julia Belmont (Low 5-B+)
Already entering into hax territory, over the course of what seems to be just a few days, he undergoes an immense power jump, going from being completely stomped by 1/3 Erzebet to a level where he can challenge and damage a stronger version of her and even match an even more powerful foe (Drolta). This shift occurs without any extensive training or noticeable power-ups, at least not one big enough to close the gap that is about to be from 9-B (Richter's current tier) all the way to 5-B. After his awakening, I believe he was already approaching this level of power, but characters like him and Season 1 Maria and Drolta are now on a dubious level, lower than Low 5-B+, which is Ezrzebet's level when they first fought and got obliterated

Universal Energy System
We have numerous types of magic in the series, and I want to focus on two: Elemental Magic and Soul Magic
We mainly see elemental magic thanks to the speakers and, later, to the Belmonts. Scaling alone already points to them having similar stats to their magical attacks, but we also see numerous instances where we directly see elemental magic powering up either physical attacks or even weapons like whips and swords
- Alucard powers up his sword numerous times with fire magic
- Sypha can use electricity to power up Alucard's sword in order to cut Dragan, while him alone wasn't able to
- Speaker magic constantly powers up Richter physically, even more notable against Drolta in the season finale
- Richter also powers up Alucard's sword with speaker magic
- Juste was overpowered physically by Tera wihout his speaker magic, but can endure direct attacks from Erzebet after re-awakening it
In season 3, we have a character called The Visitor, who attacks Lindenfeld and enters their church, ploting a way to steal the souls of the village. He succeeds, and enters a battle against Trevor Belmont, however, he surprises the good hunter since even after numerous attacks and even being continuosly whiped by the Morning Star, The Visitor was still standing and showing a massive power up from his base form (Who was cornered by regular Walachians), and Saint Germain directly states his current power is thanks to the souls he absorbed
Soul Magic also physically powers up Death after he gathers a bunch of them for his ritual in Season 4
The reason why Soul Magic is relevant is because Nocturne actually gave us a new hax for Vampires: Soul Absorption, thanks to both Erzebet and Drolta absorbing parts of Sekhmet's soul via blood sucking, this is most likely thanks to soul and blood being related in the series. We see how literall this is by the ending, where it is shown in the astral realm all three Sekhmets meeting and fusing into the OG, those parts were the ones used by Annette, Drolta and Erzebet. Last, but certainly not least, we have a direct statement of the Eclipse physically taxing Erzebet
Considering this, Castlevania Animated Series should be considered a verse that has Universal Energy System with its magic and magical feats should scale to their physical stats
The scaling proposed above already uses this logic, however, applying an UES to the series also changes a few things in the OG series, mainly Sypha and Dracula
- She has an 9-A/Class K feat that should now scale to her physically, this in turn should upgrade a bunch of vampires as they are comparable to her in terms of physical strength (Like Carmilla, for example)
- Season 1,2 and 3 Trevor would also get upgraded to Class K
- Dracula should get a new "Prime" Key as he was able to created massive storms that should wield 7-B levels of Attack Potency. This doesn't scale to anyone since the Dracula that fought against the trio was already nerfed by blood starvation, something I just proved it affects his stats directly
With all of this, I end this part of the CRT. I plan on making the Hax additions as soon as the scaling and UES gets accepted, although you guys can just add it on the comments here if you want. Thanks for your attention
