What this doesn’t show you is that on the original NES version, there was NO holy water dropped on the level 5 (Grim Reaper level) so to fight the Grim Reaper with the holy water w/ triple-shot you needed to collect those on level 3/4 and get through all the Medusa heads, hunchbacks, axe-knights, canons, etc and fight the Grim Reaper without dying which was hard AF.
2:13 This is the reason why the producers programmed Simon's whip to be able to move in 360°. Players who knew nothing of the holy water trick in 1986 finally get to take out all their frustrations on Death.
Some of those can be found on youtube by typing in grim reaper commerical. One was a bass beer commercial, A movie called scrooged (1988) which is the ghost of christmas future, another commercial from 1987 about aids, Another movie called Monty Python's The meaning of life (1983), Clash of the Titans (1981) you can find the full movie here but I don't remember which part it was. He was in a boat. As for the last one I don't remember the title. It was from a low budget trailer. Hope this helps.
I know, right? I was like, "okay, Drac's dead, so maybe Death will resurrect him in season 3." Nope. Here's hoping he's at least alluded to in season 4, if he doesn't outright appear.
@@DraceEmpressa Isaac originated in Curse of Darkness. The anime simply expands upon him greatly. Also, I don't know what you're on about. The Castlevania anime is the golden standard of a video game adaptation done right.
@@sablebranwen2539 I have to disagree, have you not realized anime isaac is basically they slapped Death's traits on a human? that he resemble Zead more than Isaac?

@@DraceEmpressa Well, I suppose it all comes down to taste ultimately, but I greatly prefer Isaac's anime design as opposed to his game design, which I felt was rather overdone. He's also a far more complex character than he was in the game, in which he was simply a one-note villain with a lust for revenge. Additionally, with Order of Ecclesia being my favorite game in the series as well as being a fan of things like Berserk, I approve greatly of the decision to have most of the show take place outside the castle and go for a dark fantasy, character-driven approach.
Death battles got easier as the games went on. It's a shame. And less important, I think. As much as I like the Symphony of the Night-type games (Aria of Sorrow, ect), Death in those games feels like just another boss, whereas in the first few games, he was a bigger deal.
In Aria Of Sorrow is the only game I remember him appearing like any other boss, but he was the most difficult one I fought in the game. Even with the Chimera Soul he was really a pain on my neck
I was thinking "Were Death battles so easy in the past?" until you reached CotM. That battle wasn't hard for me, but it didn't take me around half a minute...
Wow! What was that really cool song in the beginning? Great vid btw! When I first played this game I didn't know the Holy Water freeze locks, so I tanked him while spamming the watch (Which momentarily froze his projectiles).
Super Castlevania 4....Death is defeated in 7 seconds. Now that is the very definition of a swift ass-kicking. Very well done and impressive to say the least.
Anyone else disappointed that Death isn’t in the Anime series? I mean he is Dracula’s right hand man and most loyal servant and he isn’t even given so much as a throw away reference
I remember that in the very first CV game for the NES, you CANNOT use the stop clock on him because logically it has no effect and he’s clearly the one who controls the time of mortality.
Александр Шалаев symphony of the nights death is a joke his first form doesn't get a chance to attack and the second is slow as fuck but yeah circle of moons is compared to its game really noting to fear about
That's Castlevania Symphony of the Night, arguably the best Castlevania game there is. It's the one that made the castle exploration (Metroidvania) popular. It was for PS1, but it was re-released on PSN, XboxLive Marketplace, and bundled in Dracula X Chronicles on the PSP. Play it now, it's amazing.
We talking about SotN here? The Crissaegrim is the best sword in the whole game. The floating pumpkin in the inverted library drops it, and in the second screen you can just go back and forth to force it to keep respawning. It's not hard, just depends on luck. Like the 99 luck code or just flat-out patience.
For the record Death is far more recurring than Dracula. Death has made more appearances in almost every Castlevania game in the Castlevania franchise.
Dude can we get a list of the games and the systems they are on please cause some of these i do not recognize all the games. are some of them japan only titles?

RIP, Chikao Otsuka. You provided a really great voice for Death in "Rondo of Blood". A pity Death has met you first, before I have.
😔😢😭
He was also eggman and xehanort I think

2:14 I guess Simon just got sick of fighting death for the 3rd time, and just went HAM on the poor sod.
Pan Z Whoever was playing that was awesome at the game.
Amineo I tried; I've seen other videos. Not one can beat death like this guy just did.
Pan Z Doesn't surprise me one bit, lol.
@@hayashii3942 if you cheese it sure. but it's a hell of a lot more pain if you didn't like me :')
Gee, that first battle with death was SO difficult.
Now do it without the holy water or stopwatch and try not to cry.
Wonder how many controllers were broken because of that one. Was playing Rondo and came across this.
Pan Z Harder than Simons quest
You can walk past death in Simons quest
@Alucard of course because you ARE Alucard
@@mettatonneo5476 easy

But there is Holy water right at the beggining of the stage.
There is holy water on the 5th candle in the death stage

@@TheMsermersheim Lmao, BTFO'd.
He somehow manages to be even more reccuring than Dracula.
2:13

Meanwhile, at Simon's Quest:
Death:"No!!! You have to defeat me before getting to that door!"
Simon: "haha door go open"
I never really got Rondo of Blood Death. He's actually easier when he takes off the robe, despite acting like the kid gloves are off.
Nice to see all of the forms of Death, but why did every battle have to be of him getting owned? We don't get to see many of his attacks.
same, i was actually hoping this would cover those
Right! I mean Sotn Death is one of the harder fights but using Crissaegrim doesn’t do him much justice
I love death as a boss but man this makes him look like shit
***** The problem is, this creator of this vid knows how to beat death.
Death at 10:14 looks more like some giant ghost clown, lol.
Very awesome video. Just love me some Castlevania.
I swear you made the Castlevania 4 version look like a piece of cake
We all know why you're here.
You know.
Why?
No really why? I'm genuinely confused
@@LeaderCastleMario Castlevania season 4. Death shows up
@@mammothplant Oh that makes sense
Ya read mah mind
Here after Castlevania Season 4
holy water OP :o
and time stop OP as well
Eh, 8-bit generation games were full of easy exploits.
The best one in my opinion is the reaper of Super Castlevania 4 that whole game was fucking awsome!
Definitely has the coolest look and best atmosphere, I think. The Death battle, that is.

Years ago, this video intro made me believe Castlevania was a horror game franchise lol.
Now it's one of my favourite franchises.
At 4:05 Death sounds like Al Pacino - Hooooo Ahhhh!
3:07 Moonwalk!
Alucard: Not while there is breath in my body.
That's the point, bro, you don't have one.
I never seem to win :(
Grim Reaper Maybe one day, maybe one day
Grim Reaper
You are still the best.
Grim Reaper dont feel to bad maria is the strongest one to beat
'I'll feast on your soul this night'.
Badass, sinister and class from our very own Death.

Damn! You got this down to a science, d00d. Nice job.

Amazing man! Great vídeo! Although I missed just one single game that is horribly hard but fun: HAUTED CASTLE! LMAO
Wow! What was that really cool song in the beginning?
Great vid btw! When I first played this game I didn't know the Holy Water freeze locks, so I tanked him while spamming the watch (Which momentarily froze his projectiles).
By "this game" I meant Castlevania 1.
The beginning song is from Cv Chronicles! Sorry, I'm more late than a cow.

me
Death isn't in the anime??? Blasphemy...
He is in now ;)
Death is my favorite boss in CV!
The alternate title of this video should've been how death grew more powerful in Castlevania games
2:16 Simon's going Batshit crazy
word of advice. next time post which game it comes from before the video, not at the end. I as confused which games were which for some
4:53 I didn’t know Death was a coomer.
Can someone make an evolution of Medusa battles?
Good video! He was my favorite boss!
Argh. I still can't figure out where to find the song in the intro. It's awesome, really.
Creatures Of The Night from Castlevania Chronicles.
I remember that in the very first CV game for the NES, you CANNOT use the stop clock on him because logically it has no effect and he’s clearly the one who controls the time of mortality.
Great! Now I want to know all of the movies or whatever that appear at the beginning of the video, and I know nobody's ever going to tell me!
3:04 : One hit pwnage + Moonwalk = "You've been hit by... *clap clap* You've been hit by... *clap* a smooooth criminal"
Castlevania: Symphony of The Night, is originally for the Psx but you can find it in xbox live arcade and ps network too
apparently it's castlevania legends, for the game boy.
if i'm right, that really is a girl and her name is sonia belmont
Once you get crissagrim in Sotn the game is basically over, the swords broken, that's the only reason why he killed death so quickly
Yeah I stopped using that weapon unless I went through a room that was exceptionally because it was just so overpowered.
Are those clips at the start all from the same movie? And if so what is that movie..or movies.
The Circle of the Moon one is a pushover. The whole game is pretty hard, but the Death is very easy, especcially the second form
Александр Шалаев symphony of the nights death is a joke his first form doesn't get a chance to attack and the second is slow as fuck but yeah circle of moons is compared to its game really noting to fear about
Yes just used x bombrang to defeat it
Oh Lordy..I remember when the N64 Castlevania came out how disappointed we were and this is not that long after SOTN came out too.
SC IV had the best Death imo.
The morning sun has vanquished the horrible night
(4 months later...)
Whoa~! Death looks Chubby in Castlevania: Circle of the Moon XD
7:15 I dunno what about it but something about that sythe hitting him kills me LOLOL
Death is like Dracula's minion
Wooow awesome video, you make death look silly, lol
I looked away for a second and missed half the video
Someone should make a compilation of Medusa battles.
Fun fact: Death always wins because, at the end, every Belmont dies
I love how the clock in Rondo of Blood uses the old-fashioned 4...
:3
When using a GameShark code for Invulnerabilty in SOTN, would this mean that Death has been cheated?
"I was put here at the dawn of life on Earth to feed on the last breath of every one of you fuckers. I'm a little more than a, thing."
Hey,in the beggining of the video;who is this death ? Is this from an horror movie ? thanks
It's from an old commercial. I don't recall what exactly.
cant wait for the second part
Axes everywhere... xD
What movie is that from at 0:04
by far the best reaper imo is the one from SCIV, the music, his intro and even when he die is amazing
Which Castlevania is the one a 11:21?
5:03 textbook definition of showoff XD
it doesn't have battles of aria of sorrow,harmony of dissonance,lament of innocence,etc
Sarthak Patil this is part 1
I don't see the Lament of Innocence final battle on here. :c
No I'm not Australian. I'm American. I searched for anything grim reaper related and compiled the short videos for the intro.

does the song at the end have a name plz?

At about the 1:00 mark, Simon's whip sounds like another famous game's main weapon... Eh? :D
May someone explain how Dracula can die/ be severely harmed after death is killed?
Where did you find your music for the opening and credits? And the movies...
Whoever's playing is a damn pro
What game is at 5:30? It looks really good, is it for PSP?
Castlevania Symphony of The night version PS1 with The better dub
What weapon Alucard use in Castelvania: SotN?
The one in super 4 holy crap, you went to town on death.
Oh my.... what was the song in the beginning?
In the start of this, what movies are these clips of Death from?
10:13 somehow this kind of death reminds me to pennywise (IT) xD
Does this game play similar to Actraiser?
3:51 "Fight me, little girl!"
3:18 Badass Maria!!!
That would be from Castlevania Chronicles. It's the boss theme music.
I wanna make Moonwalking with Richter! How do I do that? )=
