[LIFE_OF_KING]

The kanji for mind and spirt is the same iirc, and the video uses mainly japonese raws

 

[Theglassman12]

I'll have to double check on the kanji, but yeah, some interesting things from the timeline video indeed. Plus from what little I've seen from the bloody nightmare novel that was translated there's some text that mentions gods as abstract beings with no true form, so that's gonna be fun.

 

[LIFE_OF_KING]

Here; Basically means determination, mettle and inner strength in a more abstract way

some interesting things from the timeline video indeed

Oh yeah, thats good, but what do you think about Death not being the literal concept of death?

 

[Theglassman12]

I disagree, there's plenty of statements that heavily implies he is a concept of death. From the fact he governs the death of all things, to even having avatars of himself be formed even in Lords of Shadow. Plus again the Bloody nightmare novel goes against that since Death is stated to be a god and gods are abstract beings with no true form.

 

[Theglassman12]

Got up to Ecclesia in that vid, gonna take a break for the time being but I'm not sure why he thinks Alucard is incapable of killing a fully resurrected Drac in SOTN when he has dracula's powers in him, which is what Shanoa used to kill him in Ecclesia.

 

[LIFE_OF_KING]

I'm not going to lie, I feel extremely weird about Death, a enemy of god, being the literal death when Dracula explicitly says that death is a natural thing and that for him to take revenge against god he would become immortal, going against god's norm.
Considering that Chaos is born out of people's negative feelings, it would make more sense to assume that Death comes from the negative thoughts that humans have of the idea of dying

formed even in Lords of Shadow

The video explain the Canon
A lot of what is canonical here is noncanonical there (Like Castlevania 64)
Lord of Shadows is faaaaaaaar way from being considered relevant as much as here

 

[Theglassman12]

You do realize the non canon games are all in the same multiverse in the series right? Igarashi and Konami made that clear that the non canon games are parallel timelines.

 

[LIFE_OF_KING]

Yeah, ik
I'm talking about the video's perspective about the main canon
But idk we still use the Lord of Shadows tho

 

[Theglassman12]

I guess, either way, some nice stuff indeed, ngl this does make me question if those tile sub weapon upgrades in the older games have more weight now the morningstar whip has actual in lore boosts. would actually make for some nutty timestop resistance scaling.

Still waiting for that prequel episode in the netflix show that features Leon smh

[TyranoDoom30]

Quick question, but is there some more elaboration on Chaos' HDE other than him existing in a realm only Dracula can access and him embodying it?

 

[Theglassman12]

Chaos is the realm itself as well as being a concept that exists across the different timelines in the series. The castle being an entire universe with its own flow of time, which is only a small fraction of what Chaos itself encompasses justifies it having HDE.

 

[Theglassman12]

Seems the Belmonts can use item crashes now

 

[Stillwinston]

Legit I want an episode with Leon Belmont lol, need to get more Netflix matches going sometime

 

[TyranoDoom30]

Huh, bit weird that they made Olrox look like that and give him a story like that, but seems interesting.

 

[Phsccarvalho]

Huh, bit weird that they made Olrox look like that and give him a story like that

Well, it looks like this series is going to be 99% original.

Orlox joining Richter's team to stop Elizabeth Bartley(from Bloodlines) from doing a vampiric world domination.

It’s revolutionaries vs. vampires.

[TyranoDoom30]

Also, this is Annette? Damn what a difference. Thought that this was a Belnades lmfao

 

[Phsccarvalho]

Yes.

I can't believe they're going to do a Belmont and Belnades romance again (?)

And it looks like the story is really going to be 99% original

 

[Theglassman12]

@TyranoDoom30 is that Annette? I thought that was Maria

 

[Phsccarvalho]

@TyranoDoom30 is that Annette? I thought that was Maria

In fact, I think it's going to be the black girl Annete. Annete's voice actress is black and I doubt they would make her voice someone white.

 

[TyranoDoom30]

Maria has her Chronicles design

 

[Theglassman12]

Ok so Maria is gonna be in the show, that’s nice. Wonder how the choreography is gonna look with her animals.

 

[TyranoDoom30]

In fact, I think it's going to be the black girl Annete. Annete's voice actress is black and I doubt they would make her voice someone white.

Apparentaly she's been working in the Carribean, and considering her swords i'm inclined to believe that.

So we got two characters who are massively different now

 

[TyranoDoom30]

Also, i hope they use more songs from the games in the show, since i thought it was a bit dissapointing that they didn't used them in the original show other than Bloody Tears.

I doubt it, they don't seem to care much about gaming stuff. Virtually everything there appears to be original.

Finally got my lazy ass off to make the Netflix revisions I've been meaning to make.

 

[Theglassman12]

Netflix Castlevania AP buff

Finally got an old recalc redone. So the Dracula meteor feat has been redone to 5.86 tons, so bordering on Large Building level+, this would buff all of the top tiers but I think a couple of the characters should deserve a bigger buff than before. Obviously Dracula scales to this, he should...

Finally got the recalc for dracula's meteor done.

 

[TyranoDoom30]

Also, i hope they use more songs from the games in the show, since i thought it was a bit dissapointing that they didn't used them in the original show other than Bloody Tears.

AND THEY DID IT

 

[Theglassman12]

******* FINALLY!!!!!! Please get more music into the show, Sinking old sanctuary, Tragic Prince and Aquarius would be sick

 

[Theglassman12]

 

[Dust_Collector]

Oh that divine bloodlines cover is so god damn good

 

[Stillwinston]

I'm wanting an episode for Leon Belmont, like a flashback or something to just see him be animated would be awesome iirc Trevor did mention he was from France right?

 

[Theglassman12]

When they found the Belmont hold he did mention that yeah. Would be dope to see him or Christopher or Juste appear in a flashback too.

 

[TyranoDoom30]

Is the Plox Hax the creatures of the night have layered or not?

 

[Theglassman12]

As of now no. You might be able to argue it has some layers via UES since every creature has some levels of chaos within them, but that hasn’t been accepted yet.

 

[Phsccarvalho]

This has already been accepted, but I'll put it here just so people know.

Castlevania - Chaos Fix?

Hello. Chaos Fix Introduction We currently treat Chaos (final boss of Aria of Sorrow) as the total entity of Chaos, and this creates a somewhat strange scale. Julius > Soma > God = Chaos Yes, it doesn't make sense. But after seeing some new information about the game's Japanese dialogue, I...

[Theglassman12]

The new CRT does make me wonder, given Dracula's own will/soul can manifest as part of the castle and destroying it results in the castle being gone, would that remotely be viable to argue any and all dark lords have a higher dimensional existence by proxy?

 

[Phsccarvalho]

Perhaps? It's just that it was never really said what really makes you a Dark Lord, which was different in Dracula.

In the case of AoS they wanted to take Dracula's magic, and in DoS they wanted to recover Dracula's dormant magic in Soma.

It was never said what differentiated Dracula from other vampires and what made him the Dark Lord. Because as was said, Dracula's evil will was done while he was already Dracula. He was already the vampire and so on.

And I don't think just controlling the castle could do that, because we don't know if that's really all there is to it. Since Alucard was affecting "the entire" castle and even so he said that reaching the chaos that existed in the castle was only possible for Soma.

So I think it would only be safe to say that the HDE would only be given to those who are dark lords inheriting all of Dracula's magic, like Soma.

Because we also don't know if this evil will is something standard for the Dark Lords. If when someone becomes a dark lord this evil will is automatically created or something like that. Because as the text said, this will was created while Mathias was already Dracula.

That's my opinion.
