- I hope you enjoyed the second season of the Netflix Castlevania series as much as I did. As a longtime fan of the Castlevania games, I enjoyed searching each episode for hints, references, and easter eggs that related to games I grew up playing. In this video, I will break down 27 of the easter eggs and references I found, both in reference to the Castlevania games and other media. Let me know if you noticed something I missed, or if I got something wrong.

It's worth mentioning that Trevor got the Morning Star by finding it hidden inside a wall, a reference to items and powerups hidden in walls through the series.
You should’ve got a heart for this comment or at least have the dude pin it.
Would have been hilarious if he found a Turkey leg in there too
@@toxickandy9669 i would have loved for alucard to reference that when he was shittalking the belmont name, like saying "i recall rumors hearing of the fabled vampire killer capable of producing freshly cooked meat simply by whipping a wall, is that true, belmont?"
@@toxickandy9669 there is actually a chicken in the broken wall during the final fight
@@toxickandy9669 Pork Chop*
Great mentions, but you missed one Easter egg. When Carmilla first confronts Dracula she refers to Lisa as his "new wife", which implies that Dracula was married before. This is a reference to his first wife, Elisabetha Cronqvist, who died when he was still the human known as Mathias Cronqvist, as shown in Lament of Innocence.
I want them to do Lament of Innocence. Maybe as a movie
Also known as Mina
@Griever The Netflix series has nothing to do with the LoS series. It has a few referrences, like the Belmont Family Crest, but otherwise stays true to the original timeline (though wtf are Grant and Death?)
@@yusukeyurameshi2482 Nah, Mina doesn't become his girl until he's reincarnated as Soma Cruz lol.
I know you mean Harker, not Hakuba, but I couldn't resist.
@@PSPownsmeself yes mina harker. ohhh i see thanks!
Sypha hits Dracula in the face with a fire spell, which, in Castlevania III, does a massive amount of damage to him.
Sypha is OP
Pls nerf
-Dracula
But in the anime it does absolutely nothing except annoy him
You miss a book easter egg. Dracula is killed in the same way than in the book of Bram Stoker. He is first stabbed in the heart, then decapitated, and after that cremated.
That's how you're suposed to kill vampires.
Um....
I noticed this too
It's usually option based for regular vampires but required for Dracula right?
@@funkyweapon1981 actually it depends on ranking some vamps are extremely sensitive to sunlight like farels through common but elder bloods are emune to common weakness and are more harder to spot
Alucard was crying because the producers forgot about Grant
It would have been funnier if I said that.
and death
@@yoavmanoim7280 Ya was rather disappointed that death did not make an appearance. Maybe next season and have him voiced by Patrick Stewart.
So did everyone who played once they found out how OP Alucard is.
And because the producers made Hector ridiculously weak.
When Sypha opens a book in the library, it has glyphs from order of ecclessia
Hola shit you are right
Wait, are they saying that those runes existed way before the game began
The way the vampires jump backwards when the holy water is flooding the castle is a reference to the way Alucard moves in Symphony of the Night when you press triangle. He does it once too.
Noticed that one! It was awesome.
And Alucard walking is a reference to him walking in the game.
You know what I noticed that might be the most brilliant, yet unnoticed reference until i rewatched it? While Sypha was teleporting Dracula’s Castle multiple times, and then when she successfully teleported the castle, it summoned a Tornado, which I think was a reference to Simon’s Quest.
This is more than just fan service. When a movie or show stays true to the cannon lore... the product is much better for it.
If I were a Belmont, you couldn't pay me enough to keep a marionette in my display case. The way they giggled like little girls while trying to murder you in SOTN was the creepiest thing in the game.
Same. That creepy giggle freaked the fuck out of me as a kid.
That's why we would only keep the weapons and gold, no monster parts that's how bad shit happens and you accidentally get an even creepier monster mash up.
Those books are still powerful enough to reanimate any of those creature parts or have them combine to make a even worse one.
Don't get me wrong though there would have to be some sort of enchantment on them keeping them inactive but the state of the Belmont house was not even warded to prevent creatures from attacking yea that's really sloppy.
And the energy of any of Dracula's monsters would have been more than enough to reactivate fallen parts that were in the case that's a fact.
*giggles like a little girl* ☺

If you were a Belmont they'd be having nightmares of you.
The impaling scene might have actually been a reference to an actual historical event, when Vlad impaled around 40 noblemen because they were planning to kill him.
I also read a story where Vlad Tepes is being pursued by Turkish army and the commander comes across a forest of 10,000 impaled bodies. The commander is so horrified that he stops his pursuit
@@timalice-2833 Whether in fiction or real history, people found out very quickly that you don't fuck with the Dragon.
Except the real Vlad's method of impalement was far _FAR_ more brutal. He did it from ass to mouth, and with a dull pike to keep the victims alive for as long as possible. Absolutely horrifying.
@@BiasedGuy123 for sure. He did many things that people would consider horrible. Like when the Turkish emissaries refused to remove their hats upon meeting him. He nailed the hats to their heads, killing them. Another story is how there was a village where there was a jewel encrusted gold goblet for people to drink from but no one stole it out of fear. He did monstrous things but protected his country making him a hero to Wallachia because other voivode before him wouldn't do it. They just paid the sultan and were content being subservient.
@@timalice-2833 I was gonna say, he was a great ruler - as long as you showed him the respect a ruler deserved. He was definetly a rule-by-fear kinda guy. I wonder how the vampire rumors started about. Maybe just because of his cruelty?
The Blindfolded demon is seen in Aria of Sorrow as a Cagnazzo or a Lubcant/Rubicante
Oh, Yeahhhhhhh!
dude fucking you are the only one who noticed :) and yes its because the spear spin i realized it immediatly. my friend even went : wait from aria of sorrow??? its the only castlevania he played before watching this :)
I fucking hated those things so much in the game
He's also the church muscle who got his eye whipped out by Trevor and then lost his other eye when he was ultimately killed in season 1. He was brought in like the bishop and made into a monster by the forgemasters.
Wait how do you know this?
An easter egg you missed: during the general battle, the Chinese vampire general uses Alucard's mist form from SotN.
Many vampires can do that, it's not unique to Alucard...
Pretty sure that vampire was Japanese, if your talking about the vampire in robes that are similar to kimonos and stuff, but idk
"Dracula is tall"
"Oh look a bridge"
Lmao not a bad vid but this made me laugh really hard.
Yes, I admit that one was silly. I intended it to be funny, but didn't really deliver it in a funny way.
Nice to see you catch a lot of the details in this season.
There are some things you missed or forgot to mention: Carmilla also shows up as one of the antagonists in Circle of the Moon, and the Fire Drake is actually a representation of the first boss in Rondo of Blood. Another thing is that there is a "pork chop in the wall" reference in episode 7; it is easy to miss, but you can barely see it during the scene where Alucard and Dracula fight each other from room to room. When they get to the room where Godbrand was taking a nap, pause it and you can just barely see the pork chop (or chicken) at the bottom left corner of the screen where it's just camping in the wall.
Other than that, great video sir!
I will definitely look up the pork chop, thanks!
I also think the multiple head spirits that came out of Dracula was a reference to Dracula's second form in Castlevania 3. Instead of it being a boss the heads just flew away... I could be wrong though.
I just went to look, and i can confirm its there. i even made an image for it. i.imgur.com/qfXOL9L.png
how the fuck you saw that porkchop !?
@@lawrencerobinson2350 Although it could be a reference to Dracula's second form, it's probably a reference to Rondo of Blood's endings where a lot of spirit heads fly out of the castle after Dracula dies.
Sypha's blue splash appearance was taken from the Portrait of Ruin variant used by her descendant called Ice Needle.
@ZECTCustomUnit oh, you are quick. I thought the same.
yeah blue splash my ass.... that was ICE NEEDLE!!!! i fucking loved spamming that on the xbox/ps3 game :) best damn sniper esque move ever because it covers a great distance and u can cast another spell soon after. or cast it twice for double the fun. plus cast and u can run away and fire them behind you.
I love your videos, and was blown away by this season. I keep catching myself thinking of that emotionally heavy very last scene, which is definitely something I did not expect from a Castlevania adaptation.
Thanks! I make fun of it in this video but really, I did feel for Alucard. They had some great emotions in this season.
That moment when Dracula say I am killing our son I truly feel a tear trying to rip my eye
That was really an amazing moment... Even with all of the cool, awesome stuff that the season provided to keep me coming back - that last emotional scene made me realize they can and should go deep into the emotional stuff and the consequences of the characters' actions. Beautiful!
The "anime" stole the year, damn it was so good.
@All Light Wow, congratulations, man. You're the purest form of trash I've ever witnessed.
"Stole the year" in anime? Definitely not. "Stole the year" in the Castlevania fandom? Maybe, yeah -- depends on how you felt about Requiem.
@Undeadsushi Well, with Isaac being a former slave instead of a nobleman, it makes the existence of Julia seem very unlikely, but now I really want to see her just to spite All Light.
A shame about that refrigerator to the cranium he got.
Best anime of this year
It's not even an anime, and I _still_ agree!
@@cameronmoore7675 Saying a great series like this isn't an anime just because it was made in America is the most lamest excuse I've ever heard
Still prefer Violet Evergarden, this is the second place. Both Netflix
@@Threeprosgames
I'm not insulting the quality of Castlevania. It's just technically not anime. The term is literally _defined_ by having originated from Japan. Castlevania is an _amazing_ animated show based on a Japanese IP. By definition, it isn't anime because it was produced, directed, storyboarded, and animated (key framed most likely) by folks in the west.
That being said, I still agree with you! Castlevania holds up to even the best anime; and, along with Lastman, is hopefully a sign of a new rise in mature western animation.
Let's be real, though, most of the in-between animation was likely done in Korea anyway, just like most animated shows from the East _or_ West.
@@cameronmoore7675 This show wasn't animated in Korea it was animated in Texas by animation studio channelfrederator
To lazy to check all comments, but...
Adi Shankar, executive producer and showrunner of the series (for those who don't know), said in an interview that he would like to cover "Symphony of the Night" in the next season and maybe later the story of Soma Cruz. Personally I'd love that since SotN is still the best Castlevania in my opinion. I don't know about Soma since I never played the handheld games.
Hm... jumping straight into SotN would be difficult. You can't get away with not telling Richter and Maria's story, since Richter is the supposed "master" of the castle, and Maria's looking for him. You could probably get away with doing that in flashback, but going "Dracula came back, then died, then came back again" all in one season just wouldn't work.
@@FightingDuskstalker I guess they could do it just like in the game. Starting the season with Richter fighting and defeating Dracula, probably with some help from Maria so the audience knows what it needs to know. Could be the complete first episode. Basically the same way they did it in the first season. The first episode was all about Dracula and Lisa and just introducing a drunk Trevor at the end. I'm pretty sure the Soma Cruz story is meant for a later season and not put in one season with Symphony.
hd4011 Well to briefly cover them, Soma is the main character of Aria and Dawn of Sorrow and he is the mortal reincarnation of Dracula in 2035 after Julius Belmont permanently defeats him and banishes his soul in 1999. Alucard is also still present at this time, now going by Genya Arikado and posing as an eccentric Japanese billionaire because he knows that Dracula's soul wasn't permanently destroyed like everyone thought and that it would eventually find a new host and it just happened to all go down in Japan. Finally there's Yoko Belnades who is another supporting character, who is a direct descendant of Sypha obviously. So there's definitely plenty to work with and direct ties to the characters present in the show. In Dawn of Sorrow as well there is a bonus mode where instead of playing as Soma, you play as Alucard, Yoko, and Julius in the same tag team style used in Castlevania III. So there's that to consider to draw even more parallels.
There's a huge hole in the story, on Sorrow saga they talk about the 1999 war, which was the "biggest" fight against Dracula ever, in which Julius Belmont loses his memory, later while Soma explores the castle, he finds him and after getting his memory back, fights him to prove Soma's will
Shankar also said they'd like to cover all of the games so we will just have to see.
"The Ring of Vlad"
You mean his wedding ring
The bestiary/collection cabinet was one of my favorite ones. All the episodes when they're in the hold have sooo much content from the games if you look hard, not that the rest of the series doesn't, but seeing all of that in one area in that context was a clear sign that they knew their stuff. So many of the videos that people have made on this series are from people that have no idea what the actual timeline or story is and just start throwing random game/story references around that make no sense. You clearly did your proper research before making this video, and it shows. I'm sure all the other long time fans appreciate it as well. Great work.
Dude look at my comments on top lmao
"I want to see Simon already"
Me too, I really hope the show gave his character a proper development from a young cocky vampire hunter who want to slay Dracula because of fame (original Castlevania) to a more respectful man just like his ancestors (Simon's Quest)
Unless Netflix decide to do a great timegap or not follow the official history, Simon will not appear so soon. The events of his game take place almost a century after the defeat of Dracula showed in the series.
@@clebersonvasquesdapenhafer5736 Doesn't it go. Curse of dracula, Curse of darkness, Castlevania? shouldn't it be season 4?
@@greedow The official timeline consider two other games after Curse of Darkness and before Castlevania (Castlevania Adventure and Castlevania Belmont's Revenge, the two released to Gameboy). But Adi Shankar already mentioned that he would like to make a version of Symphony of the Night. We can only wait to see.
The Statues in the belmont's house on 0:19 could be a reference to the aria of sorrow save rooms (the hooded one) and dawn of sorrow save rooms (the one with the spear) in that one even the pose is exactly the same
to be fair, that's a very common representation of Virgin Mary
@@Shinmsl yeah i know, but the other statue is super clearly a reference to dawn of sorrow so that makes the virgin mary statue a much more likely reference
Holy shit nice catch
In portrait of ruin there are similar statues, in Nation of fools there's a Virgin Maria similar to the one with the hood, and the save place is an angel statue.
was i the only one who went nuts when bloody tears played in that fight scene?
Nope
*alucard, Sypha and Trevor enter castle
*Me: if they don't play bloody tears...
*Hears opening for Bloody Tears
*Me: VINDICATION!!!!!!!!!!!
Bloody tears plus the action sequence made it so badass
In the scene were Godbrand kills some random warriors in the forest, the last of them, does the "Legion Etiquette" pose from Dark Souls 3.
Ah, a fellow souls fan, glad I'm not the only one who noticed it, the weapons the warriors were using were also very similar to the Farron Greatsword
Still no Grant tho
Still no Death among Dracula's dark forces. :'(
@@dihen784 I think Isaac's arc is going to become Death.
Still not over. There is still season 3. This is just the beginning because this time dracula will be the real enemy, a souless version of himself when he is resurrected.
@@dihen784 Death should have been one of dracula's advisors with hector and isaac
@@zucchinibyday the way i see it, Isaac played death's role pretty well. But yeah, the real one should make an appearance among Grant
The blind guy is the priest from the last season that lost both his eyes. you can tell by the robe its wearing and the fact that most of these monsters come from the dead bodies of gresit
KingBoro nice observation, but he also wanted to know wich enemy (of the games) he is representing. I also have no idea who that is.
Sorry buddy ur not correct, we already see the priest from last season as a corpse for most of this season. And hes brought back in episode 7 to make the entire river of Braila holy water as a trap for Draculas forces. Cool idea, but not the one we got
Kristian CABRERA that's not the priest he's talking about. In season one Trevor stops a random priest from hurting one of sypha's people taking out both his eyes in the process
@@kristiancabrera168 Yeah, that's a different priest. Sorry buddy, you're the wrong one here...
@@karinneeskens or maybe he wasnt a priest at all?... Just saying
It is not the ring of Vlad, its his marriage ring. It was used as a direct reference to his wife many times during the series.
Yes, it's his wedding ring, but I think also the ring of Vlad. When they try to resurrect him I suspect it will come into play.
no that's the ring of varda, the most powerful ring in sotn. 😂😂😂
The one ring to rule over them all...
@@StoryDive Yes, in season 3 when either Hector or Isaac attempt to revive him behind Carnilla's back ( eventually ). Then by the time the storyline reaches the 1700s or 18th Century, it'll be Symphony of the Night which is when this particular game takes place in. And then it'll be Alucard all season long!
@@Sanctum1972 The producer's jonesing to adapt SotN, so I assume the choice to give Trevor and Sypha emotional closure but not Alucard is to assist the segue into that plot. But who knows?
great video. i don't know much about castlevania lore but bloody tears scene gave me goosebumps. that scene alone justifies this show's existance imo. also your channel looks cool, i will check your other videos.
Is there a season 3
@@mehchocolate1257 It is currently being made.
@@CDRW24 how long will it take anyway
@@mehchocolate1257 I'm not completely sure but I believe somewhere between 6 to 12 months.
@@CDRW24 is Alucard going to be in season 3
I’ve never played the castlevania games but the moment I saw Trevor staring at that picture I just had a feeling it had to be an Easter egg..and sure enough this video proved that
Im think the blindfold guy is the one priest trevor blinds that was brought back to life by one of the forgemasters
no sir.
*SPOILER*
This is actually funny, Carmilla had Hector brought him back to life to turn a whole lake(?) into a basin of holy water.
Guy's holier dead than alive lol. it succeeds but the priest was already an undead and the blessing ritual requires him to step on the water so he disintegrates.
@@johnzkeePW No I'm refering to I guess the priests underling. The one in the first season who Trevor whips out his eye. In the second season he loses the other with an arrow I think
@@Bobulatonater oh sorry didnt read the comment fully.
the enemy type reminds me of the Rubicante type enemies in Aria of Sorrows but this one does not fly
isn't that the bishop? whom was killed in the final episode of season 1?
You missed the wall chicken during Dracula battle. Great vid btw
Holy WHAT there was wall chicken?!
@@cameronmoore7675 about 17:50+ in the 7th episode. Left side of the screen. It was so brief n hidden, i only knew this because someone shared this on internet
He's right it's at 17:53
@@jersoncaceres950 wow, it's really there. LMAO
It's not wall chicken dammit. It's a porkchop
I have a theory that the thief that Issac killed in the last episode is supposed to be grant. Issac even turns him into a monster (more grotesque than his fellow thieves I might add) like he was in the nes game. It's a stretch but I like it.
I was thinking the same thing, what gave it a rising suspicion for me is if you remember from the clock tower battle with grant, he seems to run with an almost gorilla like manner, the big ass hands and the slouch the thief has in his final shot seems to suggest that he would move in the same manner if in a faster pace
According to the TVtropes he is based on Grant.
All I could think during that scene was "shut up, Fenris"
I really like how there is just enough to tie the show to the source material but not so much that it feels like its own thing. It's cool that I can watch this with my housemate who has never played a game in his life and he can enjoy it just as much as me.
Ah. The floating booksp. My favorite of all. What a throwback.
On the ice spell that Sypha used. Aside from the Blue Splash, the way it was used is akin to the Ice Needle spell used by Charlotte Aulin in Portrait of Ruin (due to how the ice crystals were in a forward ring formation)
Alucard was crying because he is an assist trophy in smash
Insane review man! Great video!
When Alucard transforms into the wolf, he holds the sword in his mouth much like Sif from Dark Souls.
unlimitedwind now that is an easter egg
yeah at first i was like wdf where is his armour??? then i noticed he just holds it in his mouth. cant blame him its not SOTN era yet? so maybe later on he will be : u know maybe i need to have a bandolier that holds my sword for me.
also he didnt showcase mist/bat form yet?
Cant be a coincidence
When godbrand is hunting humans on his flashback, the one that fights back is doing the abyss watcher pose too.
The Jewel of Open from SOTN is present in one of the shots showcasing the easter eggs.
I came here to see if anyone else noticed it, and apparently only a few people have. :P
It appears on episode 3 at 17:19
Screw Simon, i wanna see Hector, Trevor and possibly Sypha duking it out against Isaac and Death whipping out magic, whips and Innocent devils all over the place
Richter: am I nothing to you?
There is a short scene during the fight between Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard VS the Vampire generals where Alucard does a side step/back dash like what he does when you press the triangle button in SoTN.
Amazing breakdown!!
Bravo, good video. This series is amazing. Only one thing: in the last episode when Trevor gave his hold to Alucard , he said: "As above, so below" this is a motto of Hermetical Philosophy.
It's true, Hermes Trismegistus.
Sypha stating that magic is just a projection of will is part of thelemic tradition.
Great video, also one od the Dracula's generals can turn into mist, just like Alucard on Simphony od the night, and Dracula in that one 3d game i forgot.
Bravo bravo, this was a pure delight, grateful much to you sir and thankyou!!!!
Great review
I think the ice neddle attack is a reference to charlotte from portrait of ruins
I want to watch a movie when the belmont family is still complete with Leon and Ritcher Belmont
The bestiary monsters in the Belmont's display case blew my mind. Not just that they were there, and their designs clearly researched, but that the _name plate numbers corresponded to SotN's bestiary entries, too_ ?! The respect and attention to detail the creators put into this show is incredible, and that's coming from a 20+ year Castlevania veteran.
great job! awesome video
Lastly, DANCE OF THE HOLY MEN/SIMON'S THEME is the best theme in this franchise.
Didn't Alucard started crying because of the fact that he killed his father?
Yes. That one was supposed to be a joke.
No. He's clearly crying because we'll have to wait at least another year for the next season. Subtext, man. Subtext!
Yeah
jokes aside, he was crying because he didn't get a happy family that he wanted. he's a tragic prince for a reason.
@@Shatter149 Let's blame that stupid priest and all his witch hunting sessions. Lisa and Papa Drac were doing good until he came along.
Great video! Thank you
I loved the display case so much. Kudos for knowing to cross-reference the plate numbers with the SotN bestiary. Great video, thank you!
I want Simon the Barbarian!
Missed one
Alucards sword glowing with blue flames
Has the same effect in symphony of the night
Let's just be grateful that we are getting more seasons of the show. Great video.
I've never played any of the Castlevania games before, but this show really looks like a love letter written to the fans on top of just being a great show
This was a nice video with some really cool references that I missed but I gotta say, starting with "Dracula's minions had hoods, some monsters in the games also had hoods!" was a bit of a stretch! XD
True, I might have been stretching it a bit on that one, but the zombies are the first enemies on the first stage of the first game, so for me they are pretty iconic.
I'm eager to see Julius Belmont aka. the Belmont who was responsible for the final defeat of Dracula
Imagine if they showed us parts of the Battle of 1999 throughout the Aria of Sorrow arc and presented it as Julius recovering his memories bit by bit.
You really think they’ll adapt all of that? I’d like to see it, but I’m unsure if they’ll go that far.
@@FLForrest If the series continues to be this good going forward, I don't see why not.
Great video! I really like the presentation. You got yourself a new subscriber!
Outstanding! I mean, just outstanding!
(And I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one who cried at the end!)
Great video. And excellent season i thought. I just wish my boy Grant hadn't gotten screwed over. Maybe they'll make Simon or Hector meet him.(poor Hector)
Thanks! Yeah, poor Grant, haha. I always call him Grant "Da NASTY!"
@@StoryDive that's Mr. Nasty to us lol
Maybe he'll be in the third season
Here is an idea, that has been lurking in the back of my head. In episode 8 Sypha says, that Trevor and her should go to Braila after her reunion with her family.
Since Braila is a port town ( or city ), would it not make sense then, if they ( Trevor and Sypha ) ran in to Grant there?
As I said: Just a thought I had.
I have a theory that the bandit leader that Isaac ran into and changed into a monster in the last episode may have actually BEEN Grant.
I would rather have a two part arc about rondo of blood and symphony of the night. Sure simon is the most iconic, but he also always goes solo and that is kind of boring for a tv show, thats why they probably chose dracula's curse for the series. Rondo of blood has Maria Renard and the other maidens, and symphony has Alucard and even puppet versions of dracula's curse characters, which could be interesting.
But yeah... that ending episode wasn't very good lol, i would prefer for it to just end on episode 7
I just hope they eventually get round to adapting Order of Ecclesia
Netflix has a gold opportunity here, I say that there should produce season 3, 4, 5 and 6 or 7, there so much to cover with the The Belmon family, of course it cant be perfect since there some many games, storylines, arcs and so we can considerate Netflix their own canon and universe
@@pandacozumelable i don't know, i think they can go on for a while but they also have to play it very safe i believe. Yes castlevania has a lot of games but they also have all a very similar (in some cases almost indentical) story. In games that is excusable but in a tv show... Not really.
There are some good stories with good characters but every one ends in the same way lol. So i don't know, i hope they continue but at the same time a hope that the team moves on to produce other video game material instead
@@diegog1853 Others series from classic video games with the same team producer shoul be nice. I will love an adaptation of "Legacy of Kain".
@@pandacozumelable yep and they will announce one soon next week, a show from a japanese videogame from the same producer. So lets hope its something cool :D
Honestly even if they stick to konami and do metal gear would be very nice
What a good video! No. 9 was awesome! Good Job!
Woah , thanks a lot for this !!
How is Bloody Tears the most iconic Castlevania song? Pretty sure that goes to Vampire Killer or Simon's theme. Vampire Killer for sheer presence, remixed in practically every game in the series and Simon's theme through association to the most iconic character (although Vampire Killer also has that distinction.)
Also Sypha's spell is actually based on an ice spell used by Charlotte in Portrait of Ruin, that much was confirmed by the director Samuel Deats on Twitter.
RIP Godbrand. :(

Brenden Spanbauer you mean Galamoth? That was surely a tough bastard
@@Billybob-en1mk I wish the vampire generals got fleshed out a bit more or had more scenes like Godbrand did. The final battle with them didn't feel has potent because we barely knew anything about them. Like if Godbrand had been present in that fight, I feel the stakes would be elevated because we actually had seen how he fought hunted and behaved before that. I like how Godbrands story ended but all the same I just wish we had more form the generals throughout the season to make that fight a bit more impactful.

8:58 this is probably late, but that blind monster actually may be that corrupt priest that Trevor blinds in Season 1. He whips his eye out in episode 2, then gets his other eye shot out by an arrow in episode 4.
That, and he's wearing black robes with a bit of red. Which the Priests were known to wear.
10:18 I'm pretty sure that's just his wedding ring
Yes and also the ring of Vlad.
I was also disappointed with the lack of iconic 'Vania baddies. Did they really deserve to be relegated to only easter eggs?? Will we see THE FORGOTTEN ONE too??
It's worth mentioning that not only does Alucard transform into his Wolf Form as seen in SotN, he also uses his Charge Attack while in it, also available in that game by acquiring the Power of Wolf relic.
Great video!!!
what about the chicken wall?
I missed that one.
I love Lord of Shadows! Why does it get so much hate! Gabriel is a beast!
- because it's not on the classical timeline.
- it changes several characters from the classical timeline.
there's more, but that's pretty much the main points
Because LoS ruins the known history of Castlevania and it is unacceptable
Because it killed Castlevania?
In a nutshell...It's not Cannon
Daggers.. worst? WTF? They're cheap and go straight, I fucking love them!
_-Castlevania player since the early 90's_
..Also with your obsession with Simon Belmont, I'm quite unsure how could they possibly portray him well enough to meet your expectations! :D
and the weapon crash just keeps fucking hitting and it's really cool
@@greedow 1) Beat Symphony of the Night.
2) Replay the game as Richter.
3) Get the Dagger and tons of hearts.
4) Use the Dagger's hyper attack on *every. Last. Boss.* Watch every last boss die in _seconds._
5) Win!
The daggers are the worst subweapon for an animated show because Trevor using them is barely indistinguishable from any other protagonist throwing a common knife.The cross and holy water are more iconic visually, even the axe with the inverted U trajectory.
"HP points"
Yes, HP means Hit Points so I basically said Hit Points Points.
This gave me chills
good job man great video
Eh I want to skip Simon and get to Richter already.
I wanna see Richter too, but you can't just skip the "original" Belmont
Qualquer gamer true Leon would be cool too. I kid but I would love Richter or Leon far more then Simon. Mostly cause Simon is a solo act and that wouldn't have as much options for funny back and forths.
@@ProfessM I agree, doing Rondo + Symphony would be the smarter choice. since it would give us the best fucking Belmont and Maria, who would be really cool to see fighting. and SoTN is probably the most loved castlevania.
but it's fucking Simon... He needs to be in the series somehow
Qualquer gamer I get you he is the most famous but he doesn't do much. I can see maybe a ep or two but it be way less of the amazing dialogue. Less he talks to himself or they really make up a new story. My only hope is they go with red head Simon like from the ps1 remake.
@@ProfessM barbarian Simon with red hair would be great.
I think, to make Simon work.
You have Castlevania happen in a single episode, where he mostly brags about himself while defeating Dracula's minions,to get us to understand the cockyness of young Simon, he fights Dracula, getting him cursed and then use Simon's quest for a couple more episodes. Since in that he interacts with several people in towns it's easier to make dialog.
or maybe start with simon's quest, and have his first battle be a flashback.
I think this might be the first time I've ever gotten every reference/easter egg showcased in a video like this. I'v been playing Castlevania for decades and have beaten each one SEVERAL times (except for those garbage Lords of Shadow ones).
This video didn't even get all of them. 1. During the battle between Dracula and Alucard, for just a second you can see a drumstick poking out of a crumbling wall.
2. Dracula is killed in the same manner as in the Bram Stoker novel: Staking, Beheading, Creamation.
Great video! I'm a die-hard CV fan and even I missed some of those ones!
This is epic man SOO muche detail has gone in making this

StoryDive On it!!
3:38 what is the music??
Beem waiting for a trivia video like this. Thank you!
The Second Season from Castlevania was amazing.
I love the Story, the Style and the Aktion . The moment with Bloody Tears in Episode 7 was really great.
Nice Video ;-) 27 Easter Eggs wooow
They arent gonna make simon trevor and syphas son this is following the original storyline not the stupid reboot
This clearly isn't following the original storyline. It is based on it, though.
@@ksquidplaysminecraft exactly its based on it so Simon wont be Trevor's son
@@sonicmemes7911 you really can't say that for sure. They've taken a ton of liberties with it. Also, unlike in the original, Trevor and Sypha have a romance. They don't seem to be totally ignoring Lords of Shadow.
@@ksquidplaysminecraft are you joking trevor and sypha do get married look it up
@@sonicmemes7911 my bad. I was thinking of someone else. My point still stands. There's too many liberties taken to say they can or can't do something.
Great video bro
There is a point during the castle entrance fight where, after dispatching a small group of Vampires with his Sword Familiar, he had every opportunity to run forward to regroup. Instead, he turns back, and then vanishes from the screen in about 2 frames going backwards. Kind of reminded me how you spammed the everloving crap out of his back dash during speed runs.
Very nice list! I noticed some of these while watching the episodes, but not the one with the display case. It was great to see all the easter eggs hidden there :)
I'm looking forward to seeing Simon Belmont too. He's one of my favourite characters from the Castlevania series!
What a really good job, amazing, I have played a lot of times SOTN and I could notice just a few things and references, I am surprise, greetings from Bogotá, Colombia
Also, when Trevor discover the Morningstar hidden behind a destroyed bookshelf, it's a reference to items being hidden in collapsible walls in many of the games.
