- Of all the Belmont's in the world, Richter is the strongest His overwhelming determination turned Dracula and his forces their heads. He's iconic by just the standards of Rondo of Blood on its own, but origin and story is just cool also!

BGM: Divine Bloodline - Castlevania Rondo of Blood
What are the Belmonts views on killing Lord Dracula:
Simon: "Although Dracula is objectively evil, you must still respect him in a fight, as he was once a human, and is still a great warrior and scientist"
Richter: *"Show the finger and hydrostorm the fucker"*
Julius: "I'm gonna tease you about this great fight but not show you it..."
@@60sspider-man29 dracula : oh come on
Trevor is smiling down on Richter
@@brodyestes2376 isn't the personality of Castlevania 3's Trevor different from Netflix's Trevor?
Simon: I respect Dracula
Julius: Lol I killed him without breaking a sweat
Richter: Bye mf
Trevor: Lmao, f off Dracula
When Richter got announced for Smash and everyone collectively went "Who?" My heart completely sank because he was my dream pick even though I knew how much more likely Simon was.
My friend and I actually the day Bloody Tears leaked before the Direct were talking about wanting a Richter recolor thinking they wouldn’t add Richter due to the rumors saying how they had no clue which other Belmont they wanted to represent. Sure enough, I watched and my jaw literally dropped and you bet I woke my friend up going crazy almost immediately LMAO. But yeah, most people only know Richter nowadays because of Smash, or because of the good percentage of the Netflix series fans who flooded just about any Castlevania thread on the internet were told to start with or play SOTN because of Alucard when asking “WHERE DO I START??????” every other post (I love SOTN to death, just more or less poking fun at the Netflix normies who pretty much took over any and all platforms meant for the games). Either way despite all of that, I’m glad he has some form of recognition in the US no matter what
I was sad to..im more fuckin sad that other characters get 3 options YET THEY COULDNT MAKE ALUCARD A PLAYABLE FUCK THE WORLD
I was pumped when I saw Richter. Simon was cool, but nowhere near as cool as Richter.
@@_racoon_7778 Alucard should have also been in smash for sure. IMO Richter, Alucard, and Soma are the 3 most popular. Simon up there also.
Would have loved to see Julius Belmont.
Divine Bloodline gives me life, Richter definitely has the best theme.
I personally prefer Julius' them. But Richter's is still pretty bopping.
Opposing Bloodlines was so lit it got remade into the Castlevania 64 title music.
Bloody Tears is usually considered Simon’s theme, so I’d say that gives some stuff competition
@@tylercoon1791 Vampire Killer is Simon's theme
@@bossviper2833 I consider Bloody Tears a theme of Simon’s. Mainly because it was the main theme of a game called ‘Simon’s Quest’
Funny how smash players be crying about Belmonts projectiles I'm like wow have any of you played castlevania
Exactly lol
I think most people get it it’s just still really obnoxious
@@sock312 Learn to rush down the Belmonts by abusing I-frames, and learning how to avoid their attacks.
I know that's literally just saying "git guud", but it's the truth.
Valsion Custom I know how to deal with them personally I was more saying it is kinda obnoxious and most players who don’t know how to deal with it will complain about it even if they know the game it’s from
@@sock312 Of course, but as games change, people must adapt and find new strategies. Competitive Melee, while fun to watch, has an almost impenetrable bar of entry.
If someone wants to complain about Belmonts while not having a leg to stand on, I feel that they just have to grow up.
This guy stormed a giant monster ridden castle for his girlfriend and then fight the lord of darkness. Now that is a man. Too bad the Belmonts lost the whip because of his possession by shaft though
Well at least the whip found it’s way back into the hands of Julius Belmont
@@Avarice0918 I still wanna see the 1999 war man!
@@tepes6563 same ngl
@@tepes6563 Ah yes, The Demon Castle War. Something we unfortunately will never get. Can't believe Konami bothered to make mention of it and never seized the opportunity to make a game on it. It would've been amazing.
Good old Julius.
Finally, Richter deserved the glory treatment.
He is the blue one
And an anime
@@opaljk4835 Fun Fact: the Belmont Whip is inspired by Indiana Jones.
Now he's the protagonist of an extremely well animated series, it went really well for him
Have you seen the series?
Shaft: We will now take the maidens.
Dracula: Now we have them all.
Annette: When richter finds out what you did he’s gonna stop you.
Shaft: Richter who?
Annette: Richter Belmont.
Shaft and Dracula: Oh shit.
Got an ad for Belmont University.
They teach you how to take down monsters and as the Final Exam is too Kill Dracula
*YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE!!!!!!!!!!*
Lol
I'm the 69th like
Gotta remember the midterms of different sekeltons, however, sub-weapons 202 while difficult was worth it. Oh and the extra curricula class wall chicken 101,was a real eye opener to the preservation of the meat in the walls.
I think Meti has passed his "Filthy acts at a reasonable price" phase and is starting a full-blown alliteration phase.
Just a quick bit of context that might clear something up for you. You might remember, Dracula reveals that he's less interested in a bride and more interested in turning the eternal feud with the Belmonts into a game this time. So, that map Richter has might actually be something that was dropped off by minions infiltrating the village as a part of setting up the ambush. If you count the remake's retelling as the completed version of the story, then you can also conclude that a key part of the ambush was to herd Annette along through the path out of the village so Richter would witness her kidnapping.
You know, if you have time and room in your plans, you could probably do a whole Dracula X compendium feature by Halloween. Your attentiveness and presentation could really do it all justice. I'd be interested in your take on Dracula XX, as you seem to have a knack for looking into things most people overlook.
How many of you are watching this after the Netflix series?
Need it to wash the taste of whatever that was out. Jesus Christ that was bad.
@@enumaelish9193 and they announced season 2 , they ready to butcher it even more.
I need to. That show was bad.
yep, ahh men i find insulting what did they do with Richter and Juste
even i replayed Dracula X Chronicles on my PSP to wash that bad taste leaved in my mouth
In a way Richter and Jotaro are very similar, both changed the franchise drastically, both are the most iconic protagonists of their franchise and both desired to give a good heritage for the future.
I personally liked Richter's Symphony Of The Night design, it was very badass, to say the least.
He is also so op in that game lol
Every time I hear the word "Shaft" I hear a chorus of black women repeat it. Is that normal?
Yes
You'd be abnormal if you DIDN'T
Ya damn right.
Now I'm thinking the woman from Hercules 😅
Damn right
Simon: "Richter remember that even though Dracula is a lord of the Dark, a vampire. He was a human in his previous life. Fight with honor"
Richter: "Great Great Great Great grandfather... you want me to show the lord of darkness, the vampire of the night honor? He caused the town pain and suffering"
Simon: " To think that my descendant grandchildren were this crass"
This is basically Jonathan to his descendants 😂
Because of how important my boy Richter and Simon are, I really want see both in the Castlevania Netflix series. The story that could be told with both of them would be amazing.
Your wish has been granted
@@mr.cranker8086 And now I'm scared they will fuck it it up just like the Trevor adventure.
@@Guciom a show doesnt have to be faithful to the source material to be enjoyable. No idea how they ruined it but it was incredibly enjoyable the entire way through.
@@Bruh-ok1rq it’s been a while since I’ve seen it so sorry if I mistake stuff but I believe they’ve made Carmilla the main antagonist after Dracula died & he was with his wife in the afterlife so he became kind so he’s no longer evil nor wants to leave his wife’s side, I personally loved the show even if things weren’t 1:1 from the source material.
@@Bruh-ok1rqthen fans have the right to express how they feel about the changes imo
I legit just beat Richter in Portrait of Ruin. The timing on this getting recommended is astounding.
Small correction: Defeating the Whip's Memory is not a proof of the worthy, it's just a test necessary to open the whip's true power. The reason it was sealed was actually to prevent a non-Belmont from overusing it and dying. The only way to achieve the whip's true power is through a ritual between the wielder and the Lecarde family, also trusted by the Belmonts. John had the whip unlocked and overused it, while Jonathan didn't, so the whip didn't have time to kill him.
So true all because of the blood covenant that Leon entered into with the soul of Sara since she was bit by the vampire Walter and that she willingly went on with it. Mainly because she didn't want others to suffer her fate and wanted Leon to fulfill her final wish giving him the power he needed to defeat Walter. It was the only way to transform the whip into it's complete form. I can only imagine how Leon felt when the last part of the ritual was to strike her down. But before he did that he sweared to her that no more will suffer her fate. I felt sorry for him. Poor guy. He didn't deserve to go through that.
@@MotherNature101 I hate Sara for just killing anyone that touches the Whip when they are trying to save the world, damn, Sara, chill
@uandresbrito5685 Well, only those of Leon's direct bloodline can wield it without losing their life. Also, what Leon did to complete the whip as Rinaldo put it was one of the forbidden secrets from the book belonging to Mathia's family since Rinaldo knew Mathias longer than Leon. He told Leon that Mathia's family had a book of secret arts originally handed down orally, and the only person who truly seemed to understand alchemy was Mathias. He was dead on about that. Also Eric says in portrait of ruin that they found out the truth about the whip after Dracula was defeated after noticing John took so long to recover. Eric mentioned that they found out using magic, indicating that John didn't know about what the whip does to someone who is not of Leon's direct bloodline.
Richter Belmont is one of my favorite characters of all time period. He has everything I like in a character. Bad assry coupled with a design to go with it (and I like all of his designs with his Dracula X chronicles version being my personal favorite) ALSO backed by his theme which is the type of theme I’d expect for a “righteous hero here to bring justice upon evil” (minor tidbit my favorite color is blue and his coat color being blue meant I took an affinity to him right off the bat) He’s the most fun Belmont to play as well due to all the acrobatic stuff he can do alongside his dashing whip attack. Another aspect I like is despite his strengths he was shown to have weakness just as anybody else and to me that did strengthen his character since while he achieved many things in his lifetime he had moments where he fell from grace (even if his clan had to suffer majorly for it before being redeemed by the Morris Clan) and I really thought that brought out a very human aspect to him.
I remember the day fondly where I saw him being announced as playable for SSBU and I went ballistic and mained him since day one. He’s currently my highest rating character in Elite Smash and I even preordered and bought his amiibo. Also before anyone says it no I am not a spammer, only scrubs spam projectiles as Belmont’s as I tend to be more aggressive with the whip than with the projectiles. Only times I spam is when it’s absolutely warranted (like facing another camper). Otherwise I use the projectiles more as to condition my opponent and for set ups.
All in all Richter Belmont is a character I absolutely adore and he’s the main reason I love Castlevania as a series as a whole. While the series isn’t short of characters who are potentially more cooler and had better achievements than him (like Alucard) he’ll always remain the best and most unique in my eyes.
“I’m a Belmont, that’s my job”-Richter Belmont
Ah, yes. Richter. The character who, when faced with someone with a reflector, does not know how to operate.
Short hop fair repeatedly
forward tilt attack
I feel targeted for some reason
Anyone who starts over using their reflector I just start using whip attacks. Ends up working in my favor since they usually get lost on what to do since if they try to reflect I can easily throw them off guard with a F-Smash and getting a kill off of it.
I’m more aggressive with the whip anyway than with my projectiles so that’s also a plus.
You clearly haven't fought a mediocre or better Richter player.
It hurts me so much coming to this video and remembering what netflix did with richter in the animated series, why netflix, why...
It hurts to see what they did to so many characters in general.

Trevor never canonically fought Dracula in Curse of Darkness so...
@@Stephen-fi9mw Fun Fact: the Belmont Whip is inspired by Indiana Jones.
Now honestly he is my favorite Belmont out of the series. With Rondo of Blood and Dracula X Chronicles being my favorites of the classic platforming era. Though i am surprised you brought up that gnarly audio drama, it did have an interesting story though never answered why the Belmonts went inactive.

@@uria3679 you mean capitalism?
@@lero9900 he meant what he said, commie.
Mad respect for including the radio drama! Everyone forgets about it. A video about Shanoa or Maria would be awesome to see. As always, I love your content
Is it canon or not? I ask people and some say it is while others say it’s not.
Evy Evolution it was officially released by Konami as a sequel to SotN so I’d say it’s definitely canon. I think lots of people choose to ignore it which is a shame bc on a deeper inspection the writers were focusing on Alucard living among mortals, trying to find a semblance of life being immortal + his vampiric urges, etc. Castlevania meets Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles basically.
Im returning to this video because of Nocturne, and so far, IM LOVING IT!!!
Loving the video or nocturn @TheMoleRatKing
Netflix: So let’s do like, none of that, and also change like several things for no reason besides appealing to “modern audiences.”
You mad he’s got a black girlfriend?
@@kingdreezy1427 when did she become his black girlfriend?
@@kingdreezy1427 more mad at how different it is from what it is supposed to be based on. Almost no character acts like their counterparts, for some reason they make it about the French and Haitian Revolution when that wasn’t even part of the game, and they’re treating Richter like a side character when he is supposed to be the protagonist.
As for Annette, while I find her to be an annoying ,insensitive, narcissistic character, I honestly wonder why they didn’t just make her a different original character since she has nothing in common with the game version.
@@kingdreezy1427yes
if White Washing was, and is, racist (Christopher Lee as Fu Manchu, John Wayne as Genghis Khan, Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra, etc... ).
Blackwashing is equally important and should not be encouraged or supported.
There is more than enough of double standards, anti-White racism and denials of our history and our historical culture.
and by the way I'm a French man. Not an American so yes I am talking about the history of my country.
If it's not good in one sense, it's not good in the other either.
(Or we would 100% do it, I would love to see your reaction, you who support the Black Washing movement, if we did the same thing with Blade, Black Panther, or with Axel Foley the Beverly Hill cop. just to see your hypocrisy in broad daylight.)
Well besides blackwashing Annette, they gave him and Maria a British accent@@kingdreezy1427
Great vid, Richter is one of my favorite characters.
Also this is a great video that pulls up some tiny things I didn't notice. I never looked at Richter and Dracula like that until you put both portraits next to each other. You also reminded me it's October so thanks bud.
Netflix’s Castlevania Nocturne verison of Richter is nothing like the game's counterpart.
I really dislike how they handled my boy. A real shame.
He's a side character in his own show 😢
Great video as always, definitely one of my favorite Belmonts to go over
Richter wanting to kick Dracula’s ass for eternity is kind of hilarious.
It would get boring though since he's not immortal like Dracula. 😂
I really like how the narrator gives you information that would bring more questions but he answers them as he goes along. I was truly entertained to the point of dusting of the old Nes and did a 20 hour marathon of Simon's quest. I forgotten what castlevania is, the atmosphere and styles, the ideas of fear being embracing and misunderstood to those who fear the abyss
While i firmly believe Simon is the epitome of what a Belmont is, Brave, Stalward, Unendingly determined. Richter could also compete for that title as well. Just in his own, unique way. A brilliant character, Truly.
When I was this early, Dio is still a human

Richter wouldn't have fallen under Shaft's spell if he knew his battles would last for eternity when he joined Smash Ultimate.
My favorite Belmont! He has such an interesting story.
Meti out here flexing with his H words
Was gonna comment something similar. Bravo Meti.
I don't care what anyone says. Richter Belmont is the best and most iconic Belmont ever created. The old are cool and the new are easily forgotten but they blue suit and white ryu headband will forever be immortalized
Anyone here after Castlevania Nocturne
Me lol
I don't see how it lines up with the game at all
Yeah. Richter's my head canon for what represents Castlevania. I have to say though, I've gotten every version of SotN except the Saturn one. And I've always been sad that there's no playable SotN Sprite Richter, he's only playable in his RoB Sprite, they even use it in his battle with Alucard, but the one you see in the Colosseum never returns.
Is it an extra costume for him in Smash? That'd be super cool.
Its not, sadly
there is a playable SoTN sprite Richter
...in Saturn version
I'd love a season in the animated series where we get to watch Richter One Punch Man his way through to Dracula
They're apparently just making one more season before starting a spin-off. I hope that means we'll see other Belmonts. Preferably Richter.
And now they are making a series about Richter.

Next, the glory and tragedy of Adrian "Alucard" Tepes
Random side note am I the only one still wishing for s gsme where you play Julius in his prime?
the alliteration at the beginning was pure poetry.
Who's here after Netflix released a new Castlevania trailer with RICHTER fuckin BELMONT?!
So new season of Castlevania is coming out... don't think we are getting this version of the character....
I have some hope held out with the last scenes of the recent teaser making Richter out to be a holy super saiyan. Seems he'll at least be bad ass to some degree.
Man these videos are great.
The war of 1999? Wait a minute…
In the anime “Hellsing Ultimate”, the major declared war on England and Alucard in 1999!
Is that possibly the war Richter was preparing the future generations of monster hunters for?
Hellsing and Castlevania are different canons. The major sealed Hellsing's Dracula in the quantum field with the sacrifice of Shrodinger, the Belmonts sealed the Chaos powers in an eclipse after killing Dracula.
@@chavaspada Fun Fact: the Belmont Whip is inspired by Indiana Jones.
Richter isn’t studying the map for the layout. He’s studying it because of the common areas that reappear in each Castlevania game. There is the courtyard, the clock tower, some have caves underneath as well as dungeons then there’s also the throne room where Dracula is.
Sweet sweet alliteration. well played, subbed. takes balls to take it to that level these days!
btw you got one thing wrong, the whip does not drain the life force of the unworthy, quite the opposite, it is in a weak and seal state until released by confronting the whip's memory, which is him, it is harmless but also an useless weapon in its sealed state, but once released it returns to its full power, although that comes at the cost of the user's lifespan because of that power.
And then there's netflix Richter 🙃
he stinks in netflix
@@SrLoueiz Correct
this got recommended after a official teaser of the castlevania animation series starring as ritcher belmont. bless the algorithm
Please do a video about Christopher Belmont. He was the first to defeat Dracula *twice* within the canon and become aware of the Count's 100 year pattern of resurrection.

I dunno, I liked the aristocratic look more than the generic shounen look he had in Rondo of Blood. Guess that's just me though.
It's more historically accurate. Can you imagine having Hokuto no Ken next to Mozart in the same universe? At the same time, there clearly are many historically inaccurate things in Castlevania all the time, so our argument is futile.
I've always preferred the more gothic look the series took compared to the Conan the Barbarian type design it had in its earlier days. My love for it even same from Soma Cruz from Aria of Sorrow, the main character everyone loves to hate haha
@@tepes6563 ayami kojima is just that good
@@dmas7749 That I 100% agree with
Personally, I prefer the “generic shounen” design compared to the Bishounen goth or the aristocrat look but the design chance does make sense. One is a good natured young man prepared to fight for the sake of the world while the other is a man who lost himself to his hidden desires.
Didn't expect a video on Richter, glad to see it !

Simon will always be my personal favorite Belmont (though Grant is my favorite Castlevania character) but no one can deny the massive Chad energy the Richter brings to the table

These alliterations are god tier
That was some fantastic alliteration, well done!
He was the greatest magic user of the Belmonts but not the strongest. The lore says every Belmont is stronger than the last. That would make Julius technically the strongest
While Julius is stronger, Richter canonically has greater overall combat ability thanks to him being much more skilled.
The lore not says every belmont is stronger than the last, he says every belmont is more effective to battle vampires, because the knowloge of each generation, not the actual belmont always wins in a fight to the last
Sorry for my bad english i'm Brazilliam
the Lore says that even though every belmont is supposed to be stronger, that doesnt apply to Richter, he stands above all belmonts
@Ahmad Adnan most powerful vampire hunter in a game full of vampire hunters =/= strongest Belmont
@Ahmad Adnan except he was still mentioned as being the strongest Belmont in GoS, which was made after Julius
Sorry
Castlevania "Bloodletting" is not the official name of the cancelled game. As a matter of fact it's fan created and there was no name given to the cancelled game.
Truly the greatest Belmont!
Holy...this was an awesome find for my favorite Belmont character! (Tho my fav character in the whole series is Alucard) going a bit deeper in the lore for Richter and giving out neat facts? Super awesome! Ultimate Belmont indeed!

My favorite character. Sad that the series betrayed the Belmont's in favor of Alucard.
Its not that bad. I mean, he is still human after all and they tell you explicitly in SOTN that Richter is the strongest vampire hunter of that time. Its just that not a single belmont has fought against an enemy that could manipulate their minds magically. For me it makes him more interesing to see him try to make the best for his bloodline giving the V.killer to the Morris clan to prepare the further belmont to what was the Demon Castle War.

Richter Belmont is one of my favorite belmonts.
While he was probably one of the strongest belmonts his own hubris would bring the end to the belmonts for years.
His design is one of the best of the series.
Juste is also one of my favorites and probably is the strongest in terms of magic.
Richter having the ability to use the item crash and how his sub weapons being the strongest in the series.
With all this power brings hubris and his want to kill Dracula would bring the end of the belmonts for years.
Then dracula took advantage of that and mind controlled him.
Then his family would be cursed for years and after that he wouldn't be able to ever use the vampire killer ever again.
11:10
I don't know if anyone has said that earlier but this isn't the actual title for this game- it was actually given by fans since this project didn't even had a title before being abandoned. In fact, this project had been abandoned so early that all we know for sure is that it was meant to appear for Sega 32X and there is a sneak peak of three sprites of characters that eventually were heavily redrawn for SotN
Now that Castlevania is going to have Richter (as Trevor and Sypha son) I kind of look forward to seeing how this item magic plays out in the series.
Richter is Trevor's great great great great great grandson atleast- phew
This video was so awesome I subscribed. When I started Smash Ultimate I had no clue who Richter was. I just knew he was from Castlevania. I started playing with him and wad hooked, even in smash he’s really cool and energetic compared to Simon. This video was a big help in helping me understand how cool this character is. This whole time I been playing Smash I had no cool how absolutely badass this character was. Thanks for reaffirming my suspicion that the character I was gonna choose to main was gonna end up being super awesome.
Quick friendly reminder that Julius Belmont was, by all accounts, the strongest Belmont physically and magic-wise.
Otherwise, good video.
Not entirely true, Julius was just the one to put a end to Dracula's reincarnation and he did so because he had all the help from everyone involved in the War of 1999
@@MetiNotTheBadGuy Are you sure? I remember that he was able to fight toe-to-toe with Soma Cruz, even destroying a piece of the castle during his Cross item crash, and even said that he was holding back despite that.
If you also take into consideration that Julius' data in Aria of Sorrow says that he's the most powerful vampire hunter - meanwhile Richter's in Symphony of the Night just says that he's a master vampire hunter, in which could be ambiguous, - it may favor Julius instead.
Either that or I am not really properly informed.
@@MetiNotTheBadGuy It was canonically stated that Julius is *the* strongest Vampire Hunter in the franchise bar none. This statement was made after Richter was called the strongest, and as such, Julius is the strongest, canonically speaking.
@@DraculaCronqvist lore wise or not, julius is mediocre to me, his strength is only shown on texts while richter proved his own, just play richter on symphony of the night and portrait of ruin and you will see what I'm talking about, he is the most Strong physically while still possessing very good magic power, being the first to use item crash, richter runs faster, kill faster, he is the embodiment of speed running dracula Castle while don't giving a shit about it, while in rondo of blood he is slow as any other belmont , by design, with new games we are shown his physical prowess, he is capable of storming running the castle and fighting without stopping , has the biggest set of belmont martial arts in the hole franchise, and can do things no other belmont could do even on later games, julius is hell slow, has no belmont martial arts whatsoever aside from the shameful uppercut, richter in symphony of the night still the strongest belmont even when compared with himself, its his strongest form, even the obviously stupid fact that he was so powerful gameplay wise konami simply removed his levelling skills in the game, he start level 1 and end level 1 now imagine if he had leveling capabilities, his campaign would not even be a challenge as a level 1 richter can decimate the whole castle faster than alucard could ever dream lol, Richter is the strongest belmont, he is the peak of a belmont capabilities,in all senses, konami just gave a stupid excuse to make julius even have a reason to be in the sorrow games.
@@erwinamanciosilva7693 You're wrong, however. Richter is canonically confirmed to be weaker than Julius. If the gameplay of Richter is more to your liking than Julius', then that is your perogative, but it does not change the fact that it was outright stated that Julius is *THE* strongest Vampire Hunter in all of Castlevania. Stronger than Soma, Alucard, Richter and all before him.
The fact we are getting Richter's story for Castlevania Netflix. Him using Hydro Storm going to be hype
So Richter is the Giorno of the Belmonts.
Dude! That intro. Well done.
Another reason why those who are not true successors to the whip have to go through the whip's memory is mainly because of how the whip was fully completed reaching it's complete form which was made through a blood covenant that Leon Belmont had to make with Sara's soul in order to complete the whip of alchemy transforming it into the Vampire killer. Only those direct bloodline descendants of Leon Belmont can wield it without their life being taken by the whip because of that blood covenant. Also the whip remembers who wielded it from Leon all the way down the line of his many descendants. Richter is one of my favorite Belmonts he really has an interesting story and he also proved that the even the Belmonts aren't perfect either and they aren't infallible. At least he did his part well to admit his mistakes along with his weaknesses and also made amends to make up for his actions that takes a lot of courage to admit when you were wrong. That's what I love about Richter. He really deserves to be counted as one of the best Belmonts just as great as their ancestor Leon Belmont. 😄
4 some reason every time I hear bloody tears, I think of sara's sacrifice in LoI- bloody tears is in almost every game & it sounds so melancholic.
Also Richter gave the whip to the Morris clan who are related to the Belmonts by blood which Vincent says in the beginning of portrait of ruin and due to the nostradamus prophesy, the belmonts can't touch the whip until the year 1999 as Eric Lecarde explains it in that game. Richter has an amazing story, but I like that he shows that none of us are perfect and that we all have our weak moments in some way or another. He also shows that you can be vulnerable at any time and that we tend to bury things to deep within ourselves due to various circumstances. But that's what I love about Castlevania. There is so much you can learn from any of the characters. Richter is one of the big ones in my book. 😄
Awesome video, I learned some more great facts about 2 series I love, Castlevania and Jojo. Keep up the great work, you have earned a new subscriber
Man. Castlevania Nocturne massacred Richter from a Belmont into a Bitch.
🤦♂️
No he's no B in the show he's traumatized at the beginning then trying to overcome it. Besides there is a season 2 already
@hua_tetsu_cat
🤦♂️ play the game and see the Richter we deserve
@@hua_tetsu_cat bro he spent half of the season crying, while Annette was doing all the job. He is literally a side character.
That was a really impressive alliteration. Just wanted to compliment that.
Aside from his pride Richter also has another weakness: pie
Fellow Portrait of Ruin fan I see.
The power of dark pies.
@@Stephen-fi9mw Or he's allergic to pie
@@d.n5287 does that mean the Belmonts are lactose intolerant?
Got a Belmont.edu ad before the video just perfect
This is an old video, but if you happen to see this, what are your thoughts on Richter being anounced as the new mc of the Castlevania tv show?
While it would make sense that any Belmont would realize that they would eventually not be around anymore and would need to train another family of hunters able to wield the Vampire Killer.
I do still support the theory that Shaft's curse on Richter separated the connection between the Belmonts and the whip itself.
Richter is easily my favorite Belmont. But Juste would like to have a word with you about being "The Most Powerful Belmont"
Even though I respect the Belmont lineage,Richter has always been my favorite Belmont.
His theme,his skill makes one of the best ever.I was disappointed when you battle him on SOTN and his sprite doesn’t match his portrait....Glad that the Saturn version made him justice! He looked the part of “Master Vampire Hunter”
Love your “Aristocrat” take on him,though.Very cool vid...
Richter is my favorite JoJo
