Castlevania: Nocturne Ep 4

man hightailed it up outta there!

Comments

I mean, wouldn’t there be vampires all over the world too? And even if not, what’s stopping them from traveling?

EclecticSkeptic

I think we all are brother.

Abstract Dread

every orifice? I'll willing to take that chance.

Keevondrick Womack

Do you think there is something special about having Belmont blood? I’ve never played the games, but from the show it sure seems like they are special by being trained by older Belmont’s.

Andrew shultz

him: there's only one god. annette: hold my orisha

rickie woodson

Sheera, Annette also sees he’s a demon now, she doesn’t know what he’s capable of. He didn’t trust her and was terrified of her because he’s now altered and changed

Sheraya san

To be fair, a lot of Roshi's core audience are Shonen fans. I don't want to insult Shonen writing by saying it's "bad". It's not, but it has different rules than real life. In Shonen, hot blooded Richter would have brandished his whip to attempt to get revenge on his mom. He would have probably powered up with a "RAAAAAAGH" and Olrox would have defeated him while everyone else stood around and watched from the sidelines. Olrox would have said, "ahhhh you're not quite ready yet. Take your friends and leave." That's what all these guys want to see. Goku would never RUN! The thing is, this is western writing. What would really happen is that two elder vampires would murder Richter and Annette. Blap, blap. Dead. Dead. And then they would murder or take Tera and little Maria away for torture and drinking. Dead. Dead. Richter doesn't go to Snake Way to train, he would just die. So he ran.

Evan Jenkins

You should write the show, man. I love the idea of a super powerful character at the end of the hero's journey who wins every fight along a flat story with no stakes to overcome or lessons to be learned. It's like One Punch Man without the intentional irony (and without any of the clever humor either, from the looks of things).

Evan Jenkins

This is a younger Richter. Look at the dude, he's got his starter whip and daggers, lol. It's not that hard to see that he's a baby and not the final product: The Strongest of the Belmonts. Annette is cool, but I doubt she's going to get a significant power-up. She's probably going to keep doing cool things with her Earth bending kind of like Sypha did.

Evan Jenkins

Agreed. I thought I wouldn't like this show because the dialogue is not as clever, but they more than make up for it with the beautiful animation, music, and the great character motivations. This feels like a "darker chapter" of Castlevania, for sure.

Evan Jenkins

Lmao mayby a bit rubbed off. The thing is i saw how ashamed the priest was when he saw Tera and looking at how he protected Maria when she was clawed it was the only thing that made sense. He talks about saving children, but does not consider the revolutionary as humans while Maria is very much a revolutionary seems sus

Oliver

🎯.

payasoloco

Basically, going for the Nick Cannon strategy.

Wasted Potential

you got the sheeragan in you?

Lord Of Frog's Congolese Uncle

It's a callback and possibly a bit of an evolution from the first series. One of Isaac's creatures was able to talk to him and recalled some basic memories, but never expressed an identity. A little of Ougi's comment, a little of this.

Kyle

That’s not my point tho I’m saying they always on the brink of extinction so I provided a solution

payasoloco

Except who's going to train them? They'd just be trash.

K T

That’s the most likely explanation but a way to counter that would simply to go around the entire world and leave kids everywhere lol that way no matter what their will always be a Belmont somewhere

payasoloco

I assume they’re hunted by vampires simply for their lineage that’s why they’re few in numbers

DJ Muldrow

I see where you’re coming from, but we also have another season coming. We have time to see more of richter. They changed Annette from the ground up, they’re gonna give more time showing those changes. I’d be surprised if much of the first two episodes of season two arent basically a training montage/flashbacks of his arrival in France.

Austin Heps

Hype for next episode

Joel Mazingo

off topic from anything but sum that seems to be a constant problem with the belmont clan is always the clan being down to their "last" descendent. one descendent needs to take one for the team and just go around fukin dropping babies left n right lmfaoo

payasoloco

Whoever they have singing for Edoaurd is amazing. I know that song is gonna be on so many tiktok and YouTube vids. I don't blame ritcher for running or Annette not taking Edoaurd with her. To their knowledge, night creatures have never shown sentience before. I am annoyed that they just left that hidden passage for any rando to wonder into though.

Jaelyn Mcgee

Listen, there was no reason to do that other than a tongue in cheek moment 😂

Kuno-chan

Thank you, I could not phrase that better than you did

MDLNubes

there is no forgemaster since its a machine, plus he has his human soul

Safire

Lol he really does give off Joseph vibes when I think about it

Kite

The bear vibes are strong

Sham3ful

Nigga ran out there faster than Joseph from Jojo's lmaoo

Sham3ful

Ye, I’m just hoping we’ll see him soon. And I also prefer trevor more than ritcher

Tsuki

Night creatures don't usually have human souls and nemeories from their time as humans. He's already breaking a pretty fundamental rule of being a night creature anyway.

Ougi

Aren't the night creatures controlled by the forgemaster? if so letting out Edouard would not have done anything as he'd be compelled to stay or fight the gang

G. B.

Nope i am calling it the mother banged the priest when he saved her and that is their child Maria

Oliver

I knew he was giving Joseph Joestar vibes from the jump, and now I see why! Lol

HIM

Kinky XD

HIM

I like how they picked up where they left off with the Hector vs Carmilla plot, in a sense. The Preist thinking he can use an alliance as a way to build an army under his control that can take down the vampire mistresses... I'm only on episode 4, but I'm guessing he's the one to end up dead by the end of the season lol

HIM

I wanna point out that when Olrox threw Mizrak the Marquis' severed head... he was "giving him head" and it's not an accident he threw it to the guy he'd just banged less than an hour ago. Hence the comment about "loving France." Yeah, he sure is lol

Kuno-chan

Muh boy John Redcorn REALLY be out here on some FUCK shit... I love it! 😆 I honestly hope he's the Isaac of the series and we get TONS of him going forward... So sexy lol 😆

HIM

Belmont: Yeah i feel sorry for the next guy who looks at me funny Abbot: Hmm what about that guy? (Oltrox shows up) Belmont: 💀

Mad4Life

Which could set the stage for soma's powers in the future if we ever see him introduced as a MC.(i can only hope)

Panda

It might be something along the lines of the sacrifices soul is used to summon the hell soul as an offering/replacement for it in hell. If we follow that a bit, maybe Ed's soul was stronger than the hell soul and devoured/consumed/combined with the hell soul. Resulting in what he is.

Panda

Why does Orlox have to be so likable yet the main character’s arch nemesis

Tabbs

'The abbot is a good man.' 'Will you still love him, even if he's become a monster?' So good!

Kyle

It's so good to see that Richter ran. Even in the early episodes you can see that he never got past it, still terrified by it whenever he closes his eyes in the second episode, or when he was pinned by the night creature. All the allusions, too!

Kyle

Buddy hit the dash and didn't look back. I love it!!!

Leo

Every top tier vampire has so far shown some sort of power except Drolta so she probably can do more that just wasn't shown in that fight, she also didn't seem like she was trying her hardest even in this fight.

Crow's Nest

If running away from a hundreds of year old vampire that killed your mom makes you a little bitch, imagine what that must make your corny ass

Kollie123

“My 300 year old ancestors were badasses so that means I can’t have trauma”

Kollie123

Right. Richter in the games was this invincible badass because you had to play as him from start to finish and the plots were very simple. Here we have actual complications with people's trauma and making legit mistakes and people wanna cry too hard on it when this is for real good story telling. I get castlevania season 1 to 4 was good but damn, they got stop treating this like Legend of Korra.

Isaac

Plus Olrox is an incredibly powerful vampire that took out a Belmont for Pete's sake

wavyesper

People bitching on Richter having a very rational response and running for the purpose of story telling because they masturbate to his game version is baffling to me.

Isaac

It’s almost like this is a TV show and they expanded the character and gave him an actual arc, compared to the original game which was a (great) 2d action platformer with a heavy focus on action and relatively little story

DestructoDiscman

I am begrudgingly fine with Richter running away for developmental reasons. Story and character should trump cool moments, even if I feel Richter from the games was far more badass even as a teenager. But to be consistent, a small thing we disliked in this episode was how well Annette was keeping up with Drolta, seemingly dominating the fight regardless of whether Drolta was actually getting hurt or not. Development should be a facet of fights, too. At this point, Drolta is meant to be the second most powerful amongst Erzebet's vampires, with centuries' of experience killing vampire hunters and magic users alike. Amongst the villains we've seen, she should be surpassed solely by Erzebet - the "messiah" - herself (though we also don't know where Olrox falls on this spectrum). She should be tough. Really fucking tough. To top it off, where Drolta should be tough, the heroes *should* be weak. Richter is traumatised, incapable of magic, and not fully trained in vampire slaying due to the early death of his mother. Annette is gifted and experienced, but also hot-headed and still a relative newcomer to magic, given what we saw in her flashback. Maria seems to have grown up with magic and have the most time using it, but she also is the youngest and by far the least developed in terms of combat experience. NONE of these three would stand a chance against the original trio of heroes, and that's a good thing! Story wise, I mean, because they can then grow and learn together. It will be rewarding. But for now, a magicless Richter, an impulsive Annette, and an under-developed Maria should struggle to hold off this overwhelming force even together... right? Perhaps one or two of them, after leveling up, could deal with her permanently in the finale (given that Erzebet will be the series' villain as a whole). But to successfully go one v. one, and halfway through the season? It just makes Drolta look like a bitch regardless of her badass design. Which is a problem, because Erzebet is already uninspiring. She's too much "tell" instead of "show", a direct contrast to the EXCELLENT writing of Dracula in the first season. So if she's underwhelming, her enforcers should at least be intimidating.

Champion Bescos

I’ll be the polite contrarian and say that regardless of an ‘epic scene’ later, as others have alluded to in his defense, the writers obviously gave WAAAAYYY more attention to Annette than was necessary. Her changes from canon were good, I really like them. But instead of making her a compelling deuteragonist or support, she actually has a lot more screen time, several more ‘epic’ scenes, and a lot less acknowledged hang-ups than our supposed MC. It would be one thing if this was purely an ensemble piece like the original series, but all the early marketing and even the initial summary revolved exclusively around Richter, who is arguably the favorite video game protagonist as well. Seems like a more subtle bait-and-switch, but one nonetheless.

Champion Bescos

Being smart = acting like a little bitch. It's called a tactical retreat and he literally communicated everything. Aint no way was buddy beating Olrox and Drolta there.

earthphoenix7068

im not sure how sheera expected anette to escort that big ass demon that’s clearly scared of her while getting attacked

Lord Of Frog's Congolese Uncle

yo they didn't waste no time giving dude vampire butt dam lol

KeYo

21:04 Roshi flipped so quickly from worried to horny xD

Ethan

Ritcher is 19 in his first game, Rondo of Blood.

WackySwacky

True, Julius is stronger, but he doesn't exist yet.

WackySwacky

LOL!!🤣

Gavrina

Well the forgemaster pulls ANY soul from hell, not necessarily a demons, if you remember the Socrates bug from the original Castelvania. Since this is some scuffed DIY forgemaster machine maybe it just screwed up and pulled Ed's original soul back into his body.

Ranginald Vagel

Julius>>>

Tsuki

I mean he literally gets a whole epic scene later being badass af with his own theme from the games playing AND was probably the most competent fighter in the last episode. I wouldn’t say they did him that dirty.

Fernando Perez

He’s not a Belmont he’s a runner he’s a track star

Stanley

For night creatures, aren’t they supposed to be demons summoned from hell that hosts the dead people’s bodies? So does that mean Eduardo somehow got rid of his host demon after he pretty much materialized in the shape of its body? Wait, or the demon that was summoned is a special type of demon that mimics dead human souls… and Eduardo’s soul was closest to it after it was summoned 😮

Guns

How old was Richter in the games?

Merfhew

I mean fly eyes could talk to Isaac

Stanley

idk why she'd ask him. he's not fully there and she knew him when he was actually himself

Divinerights

Ritcher Belmont in the games: *Greatest vampire hunter who ever lived.* Ritcher Belmont in the show: "Oh no I'm traumatized and have to act like a little bitch until the writers say my boring, generic character arc is complete. Please don't hurt me."

WackySwacky

The whole "differnt type of demon" talk that Olrox went over is so good, it has such a "DnD" take on demons/gods which imo works so good for the castlevania verse. This seasons writing might not be as good as the last but it's world building is prob better.

Panda

Different people, Treavor would of been on site because the dude was on suicide watch trying to kill himself with drink or in a fight(getting others at risk too just like Richter with leaving). Both had their issues lmao.

Panda

Nah you finna be my pet dune

Bhumghart

“We have magic…or three of us do” has the same energy as Toph’s “3 on 3 plus Sokka” from Avatar

Lamaree Jackson

Naaaah man youre reaching

Dublis91

I feel like y’all don’t get that Richter is still very young and inexperienced. He mentioned that he’s only ever killed maybe 1 vampire every couple of months if that and prior to the show, has never even seen a night creature. He’s not gonna be hardened like Trevor was, and there’s obviously still development left to be had lmao.

Riku

The warning was when he threw the head. I think they already got that he’s indigenous.

mint_f

I NEED MORE😩😭

Jacob H

fuck that kill me immediately.

Dune

I know I laughed the first time Edouard started singing, but his vocals over the fight sequence was *chefs kiss!

WhyWaitChris

@Angelo Mitchell I don't think it's a matter of who had the rougher life, more so how you confront your fear. As the show goes on it's mentioned that she's kind of insensitive towards Richter(purposefully). That man up shit doesn't give you a mental block against your fears, you saw the man that killed your mother. I'm sure he feels guilty about it, it isn't the coolest of choices but I get why he ran. As for Annette, she's gone through much more awful circumstances but she just doesn't understand everyone isn't as strong and wiling to confront their "nightmare" like she is. Also she's rather irrational because of what happened to Ed hence why she's so ready to bust through without a plan, which I understand too. I don't blame Annette for being mad at Richter for literally abandoning them, but I can't fault him either.

Aniki Pft

Re Annette and Edouard, last episode Terra was talking about how her sister was turned into a monster and she had to kill her, and then they were all singing and grieving, so it makes sense that Annette would be thinking, "Oh I should kill Edouard, he'd want me to do that", and that night creature Edouard would recoil back at the idea of being killed And then you can't let him out of the cage because then he might not come with you since he just ran away and seems to be terrified of you and might be a hinderance to your escape with two powerful vampires on your heels I think if she hadn't mentioned killing him things might have gone differently One thing I found especially interesting in this episode was when Olrox was talking to Eduoard and the one thing he remembered was wanting to be "Free", and that's such a great way to connect his history of fighting against slavery/bondage with Annette

Jmaine

I disagree. Most real people would probably just start living with their new form and try to escape. Real people almost certainly prioritise their survival over more minor concerns like having a new superhuman-humanoid body. Especially if u lose most of ur memories you lose a bit of wha makes you 'you', it makes sense since your natural instincts now have less to inhibit them. And the strongest natural instinct is the survival instinct

Ougi

To be fair most "people" in edouards position would want to be killed because they've been turned into a monster and because they don't wanna be used to hurt innocent people or the ones they love so it's not such a crazy thing that she wanted to kill him. Also even if she did free him there's no way to know that he would just instantly go with her so that would be a waste of time.

Dune

She had no reason to shit talk one of her allies like that. If she had a way harder life and she bragged about making the harder choices then she shouldn't have frozen up. She straight up became a hypocrite right there. I wouldn't be giving her shit if she didn't make that "holier than thou" speech right there. Richter made the smart decision of wanting a plan before going into the enemy base and she called him a coward, and then when a vampire showed up capable of beating an experienced Belmont of course he got the fuck up out there.

Sixaxis112

You're right, because Trevor listened to his mother. It's been a decade, man's entire purpose is hunting vampires and he's not prepared to run into or fight the one that killed his mother?? Bullocks!

Jigga Man

19:30 LMAO that was actual comedy, wtf is going on with Annette, he literally just talked and Annette responds with "Alright, let me put you out of your misery." Olrox easily my favorite character so far, definitely want to see more of him.

Drake Rage

Dude should have got to training from then 🤷🏾‍♂️ he was so hype to shoot fire

Jigga Man

She shit talked him because she had a way harder life than he has and she was basically telling him to man up + she literally saw him runaway from a fight when he’s supposed to be this awesome demon slayer so she was mad that he abandoned them mid battle. Ofc she froze in front of Ed that’s like her brother who’s now a demon.

Angelo Mitchell

Trevor didn't have PTSD. Richter very clearly does.

Marc Senécal

Olrox smoked a fully grown and experienced Belmont. Yeah, it was time to go

Carrie Thomas

Definitely one of Joseph’s kids 🤣

Carrie Thomas

They were built diff by season 4 though. Give the new lot time to grow

Franklin wasn't getting away with 35mil scott free

his mom died as a kid versus trevor alr being trained as a kid and his teens

DatKid_Kaneki

OK. The second half of the season completely turned me around on this show. Can't wait for the second season.

Lurkingposter

Richter can't be descended from Trevor and Sypha. It would have been ON SITE for that vampire twink. Entering the avatar state right there.

Jigga Man

Stop lol this had me cackling

JonJon's Kooky Quest

Yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hasnain Khan

Richter like "Everything reminds me of her" you don't know that was him!

earthphoenix7068

I swear the later episode literally rectify his character

Fizzy

She was about to end it thinking that was what he wanted but when she saw Eduaord pull back she hesitated. But yeah the shit talking was unnecessary.

Devin B

man what...

Ikaros

Olrox gave Richter the Big Bad Wolf treatment from Puss & Boots. He ain’t even do nothing but show up & Richter said “Wanna see me win the hundred meter dash?” Also if we fighting & you slap me to the ground with a prison door I’m hunting you down personally cause that’s disrespectful 😂😂😂

Eronthaboy

U might be on to something lol

Alexander Szabo

I think Sheera meant when he threw the head at Mizrak was the warning of “shut the fuck up & don’t blow my cover that you know me” Or was a warning of like “these the ppl you in league with, you sure you’re on the right side”

Eronthaboy

i dont blame richter fuck i would’ve ran too

kai

He's a runner, he's a track star. He gon' run away when it gets hard. But fr they needed to run anyways because they were not ready for all that smoke.

Devin B

Yeeeeaaaah. I'm not like what they did with Richter's character.

Jcek Ap

Bruh should have freed Eduard and I thought richter would have been mad and went on a rampage but naw

The GoDKing 27

Drolta: It's all about sex with you priests I mean if you know you know

bleach

"Aztec" Sheera said "That's a warning" huh. They keep making Rick James Jokes they still havent realized Olrox is Native South American. Im dead.

Michael Blake

Shit talking Richter in the beginning and end of the episode. Also had that speech about being an adult and having to make the hard choices but froze up in front of Eduardo.

Sixaxis112

She might was thinking The night creatures are under the command of their forger . It’s she couldve let him out but he could possibly have been called back. He might can resign the abbot a little but not fully hence why he just sitting in the cage and why he easily let the other night creature take him back last episode.

Life Legacy

Just to let you know busting in the front door and making snap decision on who lives and dies before leveling the place is exactly how Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard did all of the previous series even when they had a plan it all ended up being that at some point

Jordan Odle

yep, but considering that Ed's ability is soul based he might be special or the soul from hell just wasn't powerful enough to completely wipe eds soul

Chuzo

If I'm not mistaken souls from Hell are put into human corpses to make night creatures. It's rather unusual that Eduard's soul would be summoned back to his own body.

Henderson C

These early uploads get me so hard. Thanks from England xoxo

Franklin wasn't getting away with 35mil scott free

Yeah, I have mixed feelings about the change. Let's hope he will have more chance to shine in ss2.

Victor

Are we sure Richter a Belmont and not a Joestar, i mean... that form was impeccable lmao

Chuzo

Jesus christ they are slaughtering Richters character in this show. hes not even playing second fiddle hes the third wheel in his own show shits wild.

Bleachsg

Basically if you had powers as a human you're gonna be a Devil type of Night creature aka alottt stronger than the usual.

Chuzo

yeah, also sheera saying to ask first makes sense in concept but only us the viewers know he can talk. Annette doesn't know that.

Sincerely, the Best.

Why

Ach8llies

Not sure if you remembered but night creatures appearance Varies on the type the low levels who are ugly and the Devil types which are handsome or beautiful, Like for instance Isaac's Right hand night creature Abel who still looked human and was bodying vampires. And The appearance varies on the soul of the human as well, Eduoard was special because as a human his eyes can see the the souls of every living being via colors which is also why he has no pupils just a ghostly blue shade of eyes. my bad for the long paragraph

Chuzo

I appreciate that this man olrox has the most luxurious hair on the planet

Austin Friley

Hated Annette this episode.

Sixaxis112

This season has been crazy good (and the reactions too!!)

MDLNubes

Damn this is the first animeted show I've see with Maltese characters. Love to see us getting rep

Ougi

Stoked to see the rest and luckily for all of us s2 was recently announced. The hype is real!

NovaVortex

I feel like there has been times when yall have mentioned like “aye if I was turned into a creature just kill me bro”. Same thing she was on. She figured her friend would rather die than live as a night creature. A slave to someone else bidding. She also didn’t open the gate cause at first her plan was to mercy kill him and then after that she was kinda dealing with a vampire that can apparently use thunder clap and flash tenfold but it’s purple instead of yellow.

Semaj Brown

Now I can actually get some work done with y’all in the background 👏🏾, thanks for the great content and have a safe trip!!

Nico

Hopefully undead unluck beofre I go to bed 🙏🏽

George

I miss the humor of the original series but this animation is also amazing, hard to choose which I’d prefer having

Fewill

Oh my I can eat breakfast with video it's a good day
