Who Is The Most Powerful Belmont In Castlevania?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 сер 2024
- In the Castlevania Series, the subject on which Belmont Clan Member is the strongest frequently enters conversation. A long family of hunters that fought the incarnation of human greed itself and forces of darkness for a millennium. However, can we decide if there’s one above them all?
In this short I attempt to layout feats our heroes have undertaken to truly see if we can decide a victor. So much to talk about in just one minute 😱

I think Jonathan is the strongest because not only he defeated Dracula and Brauner but defeated dio brando too!
Jonathan (Joestar) would get along with Simon so well it’s not even funny
Dracula AND death in a doubles match. Hype
but he's not a Belmont
@@lonewolf8304The Morris family are Belmonts. They just aren't full blooded ones.
@@lonewolf8304I believe the morris clan if a branch family
I am calling Julius.
In Dawn of Sorrow, Soma uses seals to prevent powerful demons from regenerating. Julius to that says "Nah, i'd win" and just kills them before they can regenerate.
In case anyone has their doubts - Soma is the cocking reincarnation of Dracula, with ability to dominate souls of demons, and, as of the events of Dawn, KILLED CHAOS ITSELF.
He is an absolute beast among men. And he finds the feat Julius is said to accomplish 'impossible'. Hell, in Aria of Sorrow, he says Julius was holding back when fighting him after throwing absolute hands at Soma. Not to mention he is hecking 55 years old in Aria. Can you imagine him young, without a bad back? Yeah, exactly. A monster.
Soma: How did you defeat them without using a Seal Julius??
Julius: Lock in 🗣️💯🔥
Did you really say hecking
@@IzraelGraves i am afraid of big daddy UA-cam deciding to hide the comment because no-no words, sorry :C
Julius has a weapon specifically for killing evil, Soma doesn't have that so it's not really the same.
I do think Julius is the strongest though. IIRC, Dracula gets stronger with each reincarnation, so theoretically each Belmont has to be stronger than the last to take Drac down, or have a bunch of allies. Julius has both.
@@bartoszkrawczyk5921 What, fucking?
JONATHAN JOESTAR WINS BY A MILE LMAO
The best Joe- I mean Belmont to ever slay Vampires!
@@anakidraws
Jonathan Joestar IS awesome... but unlike the Joestars, the Belmonts won.
Hamon is pretty useless, as he doesn't have any ranged weapon, let alone one that is compatible with Hamon (except maybe the Pluck sword but it's not tnough against a whole whip)
@@StockeTepes XD
@@kirbaran2039 Aren't we talking about fighting vampires? And not about who is stronger againts each other?
Simon fought him at full power too by himself. Dracula had the full 100 years to resurrect by himself when Simon fought him the first time which puts Dracula at full power. The second time he fought the same thing Juste fought which was Dracula in a wraith form, so that means Juste fought Dracula too if you’re counting Simon’s second fight. Then Juste was the most magically inclined, the closest to that would be Richter.
I always assumed Dracula looked so "Skeleton like" in Simon’s Quest because of how immediate/incomplete his resurrection was, so I can definitely see that being his Wraith form in retrospect!
Sure but Dracula's full power in the 1600s is not on the same level as Dracula's dull power during the 1999 eclipse. That Dracula was set to cause Armageddon and required considerable planning to defeat but he was just that formiddable. Alucard spent centuries preparing.
@@marche800 This is 100% true. Dracula was at his "True" Full power during 1999 only. And maybe in Judgment too, but that’s only speculation by myself and others that the Dracula from Judgment is actually the version of him from 1999 LOL.
Heres the thing about Julius and Richter
Julius had WAY more help than Richter did. Richter damn near solo'd the guy
Who would be the best support in Castlevania:
An entire army of humanities best warriors and soldiers at your side
OR
A Literal Child
@StockeTepes based on what little I've seen from Rondo Of Blood... the child obviously 😅
Ok but Soma is broken as shit with the power of dominance so i justify the guy
@@_velvet_2744 That is very fair
@@_velvet_2744 Til death rolled up and said he'd seek for another dark lord
Its kinda hard to decided in my opinion. Theres 3 Belmonts who can take the title.
1) Julius was able to end Dracula when he was the strongest and finishing him forever. 2) Richter is the youngest, and his magic capabilities were insane but he was mind controlled and needed help from Alucard to snap him out of it. 3) Juste, this is kinda hard because he is insanely powerful in the magic arts that he barely needed the whip, but he was a man born in the wrong time, unfortunately.
I’m happy to see a lot of people make a case for Juste! Didn’t expect to see that which is great. Being the most powerful Belmont magic user gives him a huge edge over many of the others, but Richter or Julius in his prime are the only ones that might be able to match or surpass his magic prowess yeah.
Julius didn’t really end Dracula. He had the most help out of all the Belmonts. So without said help he would have did what every other Belmont did. Richter for all his accomplishments, ability and power he was a failure. Juste is the most powerful magically. I don’t understand about him when you say he was born in the wrong time. I mean if we did have Juste there would be no Richter. I mean he is his grandfather so I’m sure that’s who taught him or son who passed it down to him how to do the item crushes that he’s known for.
@@StockeTepessame but I think Julius gets too much credit most of what he does it kinda heresy. Also he had way too much help compared to his counterparts. I’d give him a bit more if he was trained by Johnathan and got the whip from him too. That last part was me buying in to my fantasy.
@@VigneIII My issue with Juste is that he farted around Dracula's castle playing interior design decorator while Maxim did all the heavy lifting.
Barley lifting a finger to save the girl maybe even intentionally tried to let maxim die so he could get the girl.
He's a terrible Belmont depite how powerful and broken he is.
@@Shiro5735 how? He had no idea what was happening until his friend got knee deep in shit he couldn’t even handle. Then said friend enlisted the help of another friend who’s not even a vampire hunter. Now Maxim’s intentions were good but seem a Belmont and Alucard can handle Dracula’s body parts. So it was Juste trying to fix a problem that Maxim started that he didn’t even know about. So now he’s ball deep in a Dracula situation and has to save 2 friends one of them is turning into a vampire and the other is either being turned or eaten by the same friend who got into this bs in the first place.
He ain’t the strongest (maybe physically) but Simon is an impressive case. Dude not only beat Drac the first time but was cursed afterwards and managed to trek the whole country multiple times while fighting monsters EVERY DAY until he finally resurrected Dracula and kicked his ass AGAIN.
I still want a game where you play a prime Julius during the Castle War. Would be epic.
We all do 🥲 That is my most anticipated game of all time and I don’t even know if I’ll see it in my lifetime LMAO
I think the issue with tackling something like this is that each Belmont has various different Win conditions when facing the Count himself. Thus making it really confusing on who really had to flex their muscles.
Based on what has been said and shown, I still gotta give it to Richter. It's a bit unfair, given that he's been in the most games since his debut, but the man really showcases what the best of the Belmonts can do. He's known for having the best Physical and Magical traits of his ancestors as he's the first to invent the "Item Crash" technique, has superior movement, and unlocks the potent powers for all of the Belmont Clan's Iconic Sub-weapons.
"But Richter was Mind-Controlled by Shaft! His mental fortitude was arguably the worst of all of his past and future family members!”
Yes, but I think it’s important to note that Richter was the Youngest Belmont to fight Dracula at the age of 19. (Juste technically was the youngest at 18, but he didn’t fight Dracula so I’m not counting that.) I don’t know about you, but being at that age, and knowing that you’re the youngest in your clan that can do what most of your ancestors couldn’t do, and only your predecessors AFTER your death could do, you might be a little cocky from that kind of high. Nevertheless, Shaft did use that to his advantage and attacked his weak-spot.
But to me, I don’t really see this as any different as when Dracula used Christopher’s son against him. His son was a weak-point in a roundabout way, but we don’t really put that on him the way that we do with Richter. So no, I don’t really count that against Richter, and arguably give more favor to him, since even Shaft could recognize that he is and probably will be the strongest Belmont to ever live.
If for some reason, you make a full fledged video on this topic, I’d love to hear your takes!
Agreed! To be honest that’s what makes richters character so compelling, even if it makes him look "weak" in a power comparison with his family 🤣
But maybe yeah! If enough people are interested in the topic I’d love to share the opinions expressed here in a full video later 😱 These UA-cam shorts have been fun but it’s definitely not my main jam LOL
Julis Belmont was born in 1980. He defeated Dracula in 1999. He was also only 19 when he beat dracula for good. If you go by the bad ending. He defeated Soma or new dracula at the age of 56. Not to bad.
How is Gabriel only a mention at the end?! That’s criminal. Literally becomes Dracula in one of the craziest lore fights ever and runs the fade on his timelines most dangerous evil bad TWICE!!
UA-cam Shorts are only one minute, so I could only focus on the mainline Belmonts for this one 😭 But if enough people want a full video, I’m happy to share the opinions expressed here when delving into it proper in the future 😈
@@StockeTepes please! Id watch it
@@StockeTepesPlease make a video about Gabriel!
Gabriel don't count
I think Simon is the greatest Belmont. Keep in mind, in his second fight with Dracula, his back was broken, and he was dying from a curse. Yet Simon still beat Dracula again while he was alone.
Both Dracula and Simon were in a very weak state, for sure. In retrospect, it was more a battle of wills than strength.
I think that juste's power level can be scaled around julius. Juste was the youngest to weild the vampire killer and the first belmont to combine magic spells with items (beside leon and his magical statues). Also, Juste seemed to be taller than regular characters meaning that he was probably strong physically. Finally, in Harmony of dissonance we can encounter simon's wraith and it's a skeleton that has simon's spirit with all his fighting abilities and juste literaly destroyed these enemies within a few blows... So Juste might be one of the strongest belmont in the whole clan especially if we consider that he was very young when he faced dracula and had a lot more potential to unlock
If we're just talking canon? It's Julius
But other timelines? I'd argue Gabriel is probably the strongest. Literally God's chosen warrior on Earth, he was already super powerful in LoS 1, being able to defeat Satan, the literal Devil, by himself. Not to mention Lords of Shadow 2 ending with him outright killing Satan.
From my memory, Gabriel is the only Belmont we've seen that's able to permanently kill a Divine Entity, albeit a fallen Angel.
There is a bit of ludonarrative Dissonance where Gabriel is able to kill Satan but some random fatass demon with a Grenade Launcher is completely immune to his attacks, but gameplay aside I'd say Gabriel still is the peak of Belmont power
Honestly I would love to see a clash between a character from the classic series and Lord of Shadow timeline one day, although I know it’ll likely never happen 😂 Their enemies and fighting styles are so different when you get into the nitty gritty… I really wonder how someone like Richter could match up to a different entity like Gabriel/Dracula
Gabriel for sure. He's a Belmont AND Dracula. And has arguably one of the best storylines in the overall lore
Nice one.
@@StockeTepesi would really like a sequel to Judgment that brings in characters from the classic timeline, the LoS timeline, and the Netflix series timelines, and throws in a few other non-canon characters for good measure like Sonia and Kid Dracula
Gabriel didn't *_just_* become Dracula, he took over the throne and power of the *_Prince of Darkness_* - a being more powerful than the Devil himself.
Ah yes, my favorite Belmont.
Belathan Belmont, AKA BelBel
simon. no magic bullshit. just raw power and faith.
Agreed. I would argue him or Christopher have the most pure raw power out of them all.
Simon is the Hulk of vampire slaying.
@@StockeTepeschristopher literally defeated dracula without whip upgrades and subweapons
Julius Belmont is the Strongest Belmont lorewise.
Julius also had help. There was a massive battle in 1999 that we will NEVER get to see
If you played aria and dawn julius is a force to be reckoned with
They need to make a game of the final battle with Dracula, the event of 1999
That is my most anticipated game of all time, if it wasn’t obvious by my channel lol. I wonder if they’ll ever do it…
They were going to do it but since igarashi and his team left the game was cancelled
Joseph get out of there That's not your family
Jonnathan, you doofus
Gabriel + Trevor as Alucard
Probably Gabriel Belmont. Dude literally killed Satan twice.
And Dracula in mainline is basically way more stronger than satan
And i believe that he killed him a long time ago since you can find his ring on Dracula's castle
And the fact that the World needs a lord of darkness wich give us to understand that satan is no longer there
The strongest Belmont is you..... The player.
This is the true correct answer
Jupiter Climb
Julius almost killed Soma, thats when he was half a century old. Julius is easily the most powerful overall with magic and physical might. Simon is definitely the strongest physically, Richter in some regard was strong but he doesn't hold a whip (no pun intended) against either Simon or Julius because one was basically conan the barbarian with throwing axes and one was van helsing with final fantasy ancient magic.
Not to mention Julius mode in Dawn of Sorrow, where he actually defeats dark lord Soma with Alucard and Yoko
Julius didnt win alone either, the priest of the hakuba temple sealed off dracula while yoko and alucard helped julius in battle
Not to mention an entire army at his side for the Castle siege, Johnathan and Charlotte most likely, a Lecarde, a Morris, Grant and Syphas descendants, the time watchers…. I could probably keep going 🤣 But he is always credited as the one who defeated him, allowing the ritual to be preformed after so Dracula "stays dead"
It's julius. I dunno WHY this is a debate when his boss fight in aria has a very stronge but subtle detail. His attacks never do holy damage,yes you heard that right. Every attack he did on soma had no holy attributes. The game is literally showing thay julius was holding back on soma.
He did lose to Dario of all people a year later tho… 😖
@StockeTepes to be fair, he wasn't in his prime by the time of the aria games. But let it be known that julius is the strongest belmont to date.
@@StockeTepesthe age already got him in dawn
Fan fav is Johnathan. On record, it's Richter, and only one to truly kill dracula is Julius.
Gabriel Belmont for not destroying dracula but killing Satan
its not a great feat tho
Dracula in mainline is literally the satan from castlevania
He is against god
He has the power of chaos all the negativity from the World
Plus dracula already killed satan because when dracula dies they say that the World needs a dark lord for the balance and satan's ring is founded on his castle in a few games
@@saidbrizzo2187 Dont forget, only the vampire killer can slay the lord if shadows Dracula, and hes demonstrated his power by wiping out armies, taking down titans, beating the lord if death, and tanking all the natural elements.
@@fanofmediastuff269 and what weapons did the belmonts use?
Julius didn't just seal Dracula. He freaking killed him permanently and sealed the castle away in an eclipse but in doing so sealed the vampire killer in the same eclipse and lost his memories while Dracula/Mathias's soul was able to reincarnate into Soma Cruz
I still want a Julius Belmont game set in 1999
We all do 😭
There is a fan game in the works apparently, called Castlevania: Seal of the Eclipse
@@WaterDog1502 konami has abandoned us
Until I see that battle between Julius and Drácula, I'll never recognize him as the most powerful Belmont.
Maybe one day!
You'd see the second closest thing in him taking on Soma in Dawn of Sorrow's Julius mode, but to see the real deal, Konami would need to get their head out of their ass and give us a new Castlevania games set in the time of this fated eclipse
Well in all fairness you never *will* see that fight because it wasn’t one, it was a fucking execution.
@@EI_Ferchos agreed. Because what we got in AoS was cool but extremely watered down when the compared to his other counterparts and don’t get me started on DoS. That Julius was… I mean got damn! They bastardized him so bad. I mean his only attributes were reach and his sub-weapons and Yoko’s spells are just as good if not better. So now it’s down to reach and certain enemies he can hurt more than the other two. Now for Mr. Broken aka Alucard. They made him the most limited but he still had the most weapon speed than any of the characters (he can swing his weapon the fastest, has 2 means of flight or infinity jump. His slowest move is Hellfire and even that does pretty good damage. Besides his lack of a move set he plays pretty much like he does in SOTN speed an all.
@@StockeTepes got a question for you. Why do you think folks don’t give Leon proper respect when it comes to who he fought? Meaning they like to pull out the “be he didn’t defeat Dracula” when he fought and beat the guy who Dracula got his powers from. I mean it’s that the same thing besides the name? I mean technically you can say the same for everyone else who fought Dracula that they fought Walter too.
It’s gotta go to Julius every time
According to Lore it's Richter(Magic and Martial Arts) with Julius being the "Best" answer for sealing castlevania
It’s a shame we never get to see Richter and Julius meet each other. I wonder if the conversation of the "strongest Belmont" would spark between them lol.
@@StockeTepes I can see it, with Soma being dragged in by everyone cuz he is technically Dracula and was the best choice to solve the problem
The lore tells us that each Belmont gets stronger with each generation, but that’s not fun for debate lol.
Trevor’s definitely an all-around powerhouse, especially in Curse of Darkness, but as you pointed out, he did require the help of Sypha, Grant, and Alucard on his adventure, so that does knock him down a bit. But he’s got bragging rights for being the first man to slay Dracula lol.
I tend to say that Christopher is the strongest when it comes to pure brute strength because in the first game he managed to defeat Dracula using only the Vampire Killer and nothing else, and he had to fight Dracula again 15 years later, along with his possessed son. I would place Simon right next to him in that regard.
Leon and Juste are pretty neck and neck when it comes to magical prowess, though I’m giving the point to Leon simply for how quick his weapon adaptability is (probably due to him being an experienced knight in The Crusades) and for the fact that he actually killed The Forgotten One lol
Richter definitely has the edge when it comes to martial arts and item crashes like Hydro Storm. He’s also one of the few Belmonts that can actually sprint lol. Though I’m taking points away for the fact that he let himself be possessed by Shaft lol
Now Julius is the weird case because despite the lore telling us that he’s the strongest Belmont who defeated Dracula for good, he still needed help from others similar to Trevor, and we don’t even get to see what he was like in his prime. He’s still badass as an old man, but his moveset is hardly different from Richter, if not worse since he doesn’t even have martial arts or item crashes (except Grand Cross).
Bonus: Reinhardt is definitely one of the stronger Belmonts out there considering he’s killed far more vampires than anybody else. Usually Dracula is the only vampire a Belmont will ever kill, but C64 is filled with vampires as recurring enemies. Not only that, he had to kill two different Draculas back to back lol
Hell yeah. In grimoire of souls, Alucard says when he fought side by side with Trevor him & his allies felt more powerful. I took this as Trevor having an aptitude for boosting his allies, something along those lines, but I had to cut SO MUCH of what I wrote just to fit this into a minute video 🤣
But I love how unique each Belmonts attributes are. Even if Julius in his prime might hypothetically be more powerful than all of them, I feel like there are still many scenarios where the others win plenty. Especially against older Julius hahaha
@@darian6423 agreed. I put Simon a bit higher than Chris simply because he fought a fully powered Dracula after his natural 100 year resurrection.
Leon is great because he actually did what the other Belmonts did verbatim while he was new to the job.
Juste is the most magically of all the Belmonts no one can come close besides Richter. He also fought Dracula too because if doesn’t count then Simon’s second time doesn’t count either because they basically did the same thing damn near verbatim.
Now on to Richter, for all his accomplishments and abilities he is the failure of the Belmonts being controlled by Shaft. Which cause the Vampire Killer to be out the main family for over 300 years. So it had to be sent to the branch family because the work still needed to be done nevertheless others helped hold the line so it could get the Morris family. That cause the death of John Morris and the depowering of the Vampire Killer. Good thing Johnathan fixed Richter’s colossal fuck up. To be fair it would have been Soleil fault but he didn’t receive the whip before he was captured and controlled by Dracula.
I agree with Julius but we got him as you said making his strength more or less hearsay because we didn’t get to use him properly. All of what he did was story. Then it was more than the help Trevor got. He had Alucard, the Belnades clan, along with the Hakuba clan and the entire Military to do that job. So he lost a shit ton of points for that. Now he probably did fight Dracula properly alone but all his other ancestors walk to the front door, took a deep breath and ran through the castle setting things on fire and tearing shit up as they go.
Reindhardt is really OP
Dude literally beated a fully revived dracula with a boost from the ritual to change his body and the boosts that cornell power gave him
Jonathon Belmont🗿😂
The best Belmont 😆
Castlevania lore literally states that each successive Belmont is more powerful than the last.
Regardless of that and how little vague info we have about the Julius' demon castle wars. We know it was basically Trevor's advenutre repeating itself. So he had a full party crew backing him up.
The real ace up his sleeve was the Hakuba shinto shrine maiden. She's the real reason Dracula is "dead for reals" after 1999.
Mina’s Caretaker, who’s described as the Hakuba Clan Priest, is said to have played a big part having done the actual ritual that sealed Castlevania inside the eclipse. I have always wondered if he had help or not in that endeavor 🤔
If going by magical capabilities and items: Leon and Juste have so many spells and magic thanks to magical orbs and books. Juste being much more proficient with magic thanks to the blood of belnades and his myriad of items in his game
If going by Experience: Christopher and Simon. Both were able to defeat dracula twice and Simon has shown incredible skill with the whip in Super Castlevania IV and Judgement (Simon's finisher move just says it all)
If by physical strength and power: Richter and Julius. Richter's skilled with various martial arts and his item crashes. Julius, resisted Soma's Time stop, Killed a monster before it was able to reconstitute (Essentially regenerate via Magic Seals), broke a seal that not even Alucard could break and while holding back activating grand cross, he destroyed pillars far away during his boss fight
For a more rounded belmont: Trevor. He's shown a few magical capabilities and even used elemental whips in Curse of Darkness, has experience and skills fighting Simon in Judgement and later on, as a piece of history from the grimoires brought to life, fought Alucard after the events of the Sorrow games in Grimoire of souls. As well as facing off Dracula at full power alongside others, while also fighting Isaac and Hector, characters who's power rivals that of Death itself.
Sliding Johnathan Joestar in there is crazy lmao
Hehehe
Julius wins hands down he's not talked about enough.
Reinhardt Schneider had the power of obscurity on his side
LOL yeah he is technically still a Belmont! Only real ones know 💪🔥
I mean it is simple. Lore wise it's Julius, Belmonts get a generational zenkai boost. Gameplay wise, I would say Juste, guy is broken, BROKEN. Now I could be semantics and what not, but the point is that this question has a blunt answer. Case and point, Julius went all dbz at age 55, and was still holding back.
I could definitely see the debate changing from a gameplay perspective 🤣 Juste like you said, maybe Symphony of the Night Richter too? 😱
Juste and Simon both thought Dracula's wraith juste in harmony of dissonance and then in Castlevania 2 Simon fights Dracula's wrath as well. Also Julius didn't seal him away for an eternity as he does destroy Dracula but Soma who has the soul of Dracula can become Dracula at any time.
Probably Richter. My man soloed ol' Dracman.
Depending on what the player does I think so too 🤔 During the beginning of Symphony of the Night, Maria helps Richter if he takes too much damage by calling the 4 Celestial Beats to make him invincible so it might vary lol
What is the footage of Trevor, Sypha, & Alucard from? I don’t remember a game with all three of them in their Ayami Kojima designs!
It’s from the "Pachislot Akumajō Dracula" game, specifically the third one! Originally I was just going to make a short on those titles… but there’s SO MUCH to talk about with them like using her designs that I will make an entire video on it eventually LOL
It's Julius next question
Julius is by far the strongest he even killed dracula. Sadly, konami was not happy about that, so we may never get another castlevania because of him ☠️
But fr richter is strong and hot but was easily corrupted by shaft, so he has exploitable weaknessesm i might even give simon a peg up over richter because he probably has mascot bias powers.
Simon and Trevor had no magic in their blood or relied on it very little and they still got the job done, one single handed and the other can be implied to have done so single handed
Julius. They get stronger with each generation. And he is the one who killed Drac for good.
Fun fact, the reason the Belmonts get stronger each generation is because in the lore the Vampire Killer has the "memories" of each users soul, inheriting their strength and prowess from generation to generation slowly increasing until 1999. I made sure to mention that in the video, but the other Belmonts feats and strength are still so impressive even without them
Simon is the strongest. He could bench Dracula's coffin with one hand.
*lol* Julius is strong, but had a lot of help!!! Christopher Belmont, he defeated Dracula twice at full power on his own. Simon's Quest was just Dracula's Shade and it was indeed elder abuse. :)
I’m happy to see a lot of people make the case for Christopher too, he’s the most underrated "mainline" Belmont we play as but his accomplishments are undeniable. Even in the lore people like Simon look up to Christopher as he had become more renowned than even Trevor during his lifetime.
Julius fucking Belmont
The one and only!
Julius and Richter are usually on top. But Julius had help, potentially an army's worth. Then again, he's also potentially one of the oldest members to still be in action as of Aria & Dawn. He also says in Dawn that he just beats demons so hard they can't regenerate while Soma has to use complex scrolls to accomplish the same thing... as a reincarnation of Dracula.
Richter only fought with the help of a girl and her animal companions... but also marked the end of the Belmonts until the prophecy of 1999. So like, does that mean it took it out of him that badly? Idk.
I go with Julius every time.
Well said, completely agree. Although I’m happy to see others make the argument for other Belmonts, since at the end of the day we still haven’t seen Julius and his ability’s during his prime 😔
Im not well versed in castlevania lore . But i did watch the anime and richter after he grows up a bit looking unstoppable
And we still don't have a Julius game! Its a damned crime.
Go home Jonathan Joestar, you're drunk.
for me,Juste is the strongest Belmont in terms of magic, but in terms of strength i think is Simon or Christopher
I didn’t have enough time to go over it in this short, but yeah there’s DEFINITELY a case for Simon and Christopher. Having two Dracula kills on your record is so impressive especially in Simon’s case doing it while the curse was afflicting him. Juste and Richter really bring their Belnades blood to the forefront too more than any of the others.
yeah, you're absolutely right, clearly noticed this👍🏼
Trevor because he had four season on netflix
canonically, julius
non canonically, gabriel
he became dracula and satan himself after killing a immortal demon with literally infinite power using only a whip, magic and will power. and after that, even the power of God himself wasn't enough to kill this guy.
in my opinion, not taking gabriel as the strongest belmont(even if he is a self proclaimed belmont) is crazy
Julius did kill Soma for me tike 4 times, and I had the best equipment so it goes to him :D
In the bad ending of the Sorrow games? Yes, although we never see who the victor is in Aria of Sorrow 👀 I wonder if Julius kept his promise there specifically.
@@StockeTepes No, I mean in the best ending XD
I lost to him 4 times, because previous bosses were a pushover, even Chaos was, yet, Julius took me 4 tries.
JULIUS BELMONT LET'S GOOOO!
Nobody can do it like he did it 😮💨
Richter is my vote.
Julius followed by Christopher and Simon tbh
Bro talk like he’s holding a cough
Johnathan Morris he earns the whip by defeating the strongest Belmont who wielded it last aka Richter Belmont
The Morris Clan will be interesting to include in a debate like this. John and Johnathan are both quite powerful. Quincey too although we never see his strength for ourselves. I imagine Johnathan was the most talented among them seeing how he’s the most versatile weapon user in the entire series.
julius no question
The boy is back! What up, dude.
Good to see you AntiChris!! Happy to be back after so long. Don’t tell anyone, but this is just a taste for what’s coming 🤐
Dracula of course.😎💯👍
Gabriel from Lords of Shdow was a Belmont if that’s what you mean, true 😳
@@StockeTepes 💯😎👍
I use the method of first figuring out where was Dracula at his strongest to find the strongest Belmont and I consider Castlevania 3 to have the strongest Dracula because the dark lord himself has 3 forms for Trevor to defeat unlike in other Castlevania games where he has just 1 or 2 forms and after Mathias became the king of vampires in 1090's his power only grew without stopping until in 1470's he was defeated by Trevor Belmont .
Now how is Trevor the strongest if he had help , well the thing is you can beat CV3 without recruiting allies which is why I consider that Trevor would've cleared the adventure and defeat Dracula at his strongest in the series .
Trevor was always my personal favorite. Glad they chose him for the show.
Give me the 1999 final battle game and I’ll be very happy
KONAMI! GIVE US THE DEMON CASTLE WAR GAME AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!
Trevor solod death so I think he's quite up there
The animated series characters would be a different perspective entirely 👀 Although I’m not sure how Trevor there would match up to his game counterpart. Both versions of him are quite strong!
Richter is the STRONGEST in raw power and strength. First to develop item crashes, holy magic is unparalleled.
Julius if we're talking about strategy, martial arts, and magics. Though we never see it in action.
Shame Konami never let us see the light of day. And Iga is off world.
I think Juste had the most potential to be strongest of the Belmonts crazy magical prowess
Definitely the strongest Belmont in terms of magic abilities bar none! Richter and Julius might be close, but we never see enough from either of them to put their magic skill past Juste. I love how much Harmony of Dissonance focused on it
@@StockeTepesI personally think they all technically have magic prowess. Just look at Leon and that Orb System he used.
Having Sypha’s Belnades/Fernandez genes flooding their veins just made them stronger, especially when you consider how each Belmont generation gets stronger than the last.
I think Juste’s case was just the writers suddenly remembered the Ralph/Trevor X Sypha lore and realized how much potential it had.
Out of canon gabriel slaps all of them ngl. I get how disconnected it is but damn it's a cool depiction
I’m SO curious to see how a match between Lords of Shadow Gabriel/Dracula and someone like Julius Belmont in is prime might go. Real Castlevania power-scaling type stuff 🤣
Well, if you know the games, Gabriel can't die since he's immortal. The only weapon that could permanently kill him is his "own Combat Cross" which he destroyed in the chaos realm when he fought The Forgotten One which Zobek brought back. Although now Gabriel has it in his own possession. You must also understand that he was chosen by God and not even the Paladin with holy power could even scratch him, let alone kill him. Gabriel grabbed the cross while the Paladin was chanting and to the Paladin's surprise did not effect him and started to chant the incantation thus causing a massive explosion causing the Earth to shudder sooo.. @StockeTepes
@@bahhgrbavac9539being inmortal doesn't means that you are unbeatable
@saidbrizzo2187 The Only weapon that can physically kill him is his own "Combat Cross." I never said immortality means you can never be defeated.
I think it was listed by canon that Juste Belmont is considered to be the strongest.
Perhaps the case could be made in gameplay, but his power has never mentioned in that kind of regard that I’ve seen in series lore 🤔
I never understood why Netflix didn't just animate 1999. None of us know what really happened and they could have had as much creativity as they wanted without backlash since it was never a game. Anyway Julius is the strongest and its not really a debate.
I’d recommend my video on the subject if you’d like to see what the original creators had in mind!
But personally I wouldn’t want Netflix to touch the subject until a game is made. It’s too special and specific to fit into that continuity, which is now its own thing entirely.
Trevor actually didn’t need any help. He picked Sypha, Grant and Alucard up along the way. In Sypha’s case Trevor was asked by the Eastern Orthodox Church to see if he could help find her since they lost contact with her and her group of monster hunters. We know that Trevor just by himself was strong enough that Dracula felt his presence even when he wasn’t in Wallachia. Trevor was so powerful that Dracula sent his strongest Devil Forgemaster, Hector, out to assassinate him. And we know that Devil Forgemasters rival the God of Death himself in terms of sheer power, even then Dracula still didn’t feel like Hector was enough to take on Trevor by himself and so he sent an entire legion of monsters along with him, just for one man.
Yup. In canon, all four members from Draculas Curse can be seen looking at Castlevania in the Japanese Curse of Darkness manga after the day is saved. Trevor’s eye is also covered because of the scares Dracula gave him which later can be seen prominently in Curse of Darkness. Trevor elaborates a little in Judgment too, but he did indeed fight Dracula with the three others together.
This is why I want a Draculas Curse remake more than any of the others so we can see them all battle Dracula together. Even maybe elaborating on the power of the "Dark God" Dracula used 😔
@@StockeTepes I’m also biased to Trevor just because the manga gave him one of my favorite titles ever, the Demon Chaser. I know there’s a group of people who are out making remakes of the OG games. I know they did one for Simon’s Quest. I believe the one they’re currently working on is for Dracula’s Curse. It’s supposed to have actual voiced dialogue for the characters and everything. I believe it’s called ‘Castlevania Chronicles 3: Dracula’s Curse’, so maybe we’ll see more in there.
@@DANTVSVERGIL "Demon Chaser" for Trevor is absolutely BADASS damn, I don’t remember that one 😱😱
@@StockeTepes It was after Dracula’s death, it happened in the final volume with Rosaly/Rosalee telling Hector “The Devil and his Demons, they’re all gone. The Demon Chaser Belmont saved us.”
Is Julius. Canonically is him
I dont care if Leon is the "weakest". He's my favorite Belmont and might be the most skilled fighter out of them.
There's a reason there's no video game with Julius Belmont. He was extremely powerful and easily the most powerful Belmont he destroyed Dracula permanently. Game would have been boring lol dude had amnesia and still kicked Soma's butt
It was always intended to be a game eventually, but they never got there 😢 I’d have to disagree too LOL. If you haven’t seen my video on it, they were setting it up to be the most epic Castlevania title of all time 😱
Soma bc he’s Dracula reincarnated, he’s actually Dracula trying to go through the Belmont bloodline essentially, it’s allegories to Jesus and the Antichrist, Soma realized who he was and stayed good, Dracula wanted to overtake him and turn evil becoming part of the Belmont bloodline which would’ve destroyed the whole promise that Leon himself made with God, bc a Belmont would’ve been used as a weapon against God, but soma refused.
Soma is definitely stronger than some of the Belmonts. Although we have seen him be defeated by them before, like Julius mode in Dawn of Sorrow with Yoko and Alucard
@@StockeTepes true, I guess it depends on the moment, who it is and what they have at that time, bc there’s a variable we both forgot, God….God has helped throughout their journey and I found proof of it, remember when Trevor found all the pieces to that God slaying dagger in the anime? God purposely put it there, bc he knew he’d need against Belmont, bc of Leon, so theoretically, you could REALLY wank this in your favor, bc of God being a variable within the characters, he always helps the Belmonts in some way, I don’t know how that works with Alucard and soma bc they aren’t true Belmonts, only by name, so God may not be helping them at all, it’s hard to gauge bc it doesn’t say for the others, but Leon swore to kill Dracula for God, he promised his generation or something, so God effectively is a character in Castlevania that I can’t knock if you pulled that card! 😂
@@StockeTepes But Julius mode is not canon right?
@@StockeTepesI don’t know if my other message posted 😮💨 but I’ve been testing a theory bc I looked at Castlevania from a different lense and realized where God could be involved in some manner, remember when he just so happened to find a dagger that could kill God himself in a sewer that just so happened to be rebuilt? I looked at it as if God from our world existed in theirs and it totally works, bc he’s all knowing, he knew Trevor would need a weapon to kill death, he knew that Belmont wouldn’t succeed without a weapon capable to kill the very concept of death, God purposely put that item there over centuries just for that moment, he purposely did that, bc analyze that fight again, the whip may damage undead things but it can’t harm the very concept of death, so if he didn’t have that dagger he wouldn’t of won, but God also knew the cost would be his life, so his reward was “life.” He gave his life and so his life was returned bc he gave his life even in the face of death, I don’t believe Richter using his hyper mode with the Grand Cross as conventional magic, I see it as the “return” of the Holy Spirit, God accepted them back into his bosom that exact moment Richter needed him and possessed him, I only remember Sypha using red fire, he’s using blue and God likes to manifest as blue fire and during that moment, his eyes are glowing a totally different color, so he could be possessed by God in that exact moment with his very righteous anger, there’s no telling how deep God’s involvement fully goes bc all the weapons they need is always there but that’s not just bc of luck, that’s bc God had them purposely placed there for them to use later on.
Sudden Stocke upload. I hope this means you'll be back to making content. Been missing those juicy Castlevania videos.
As for the strongest Belmont, I've always viewed Richter as the one. Julius was said to be the best of the best but never really convinced me, especially after his loss in DoS to Dario of all people. We have, however, seen the amazing feats Richter is capable of from brute strength to magic, and his influence persists for the whole rest of the series after he's gone.
Thank you so much! That’s the plan! I’ve been working on a big video for a while so I hope to show everyone soon 😁
And yeah, not being able to see Julius in his prime is the BIGGEST strike against him for me. Especially because old man Julius has some embarrassing loses like you said with Dario LOL. Richters power is incredible in every game he’s in. I really think it would be between the two as far as the canon Belmonts go.
@@StockeTepes Bottom line is... give us a 1999 game, Konami.
Christopher or Simon. Both have beaten Dracula multiple times without help from practically anyone. Also, bonus points to Simon for being the only Belmont to master the Vampire Killer enough to whip in 8 directions 😂
Edit: Also, if we are going by the fact that every descendant continuously gains their ancestor's power in the whip with every century, both didn't have much stored into the weapon at that point in time 🤔
That’s true, someone like Christopher only had the "memory soul" of Leon and Christopher from a lore perspective, so looking at it like that can be insightful 🤔
Spoilers: Julius… Julius literally beat Dracula’s ass so hard he had to be reincarnated.
For me it will always be Julius - I'll get to the reasons why I think he's the strongest later, but there's a strong case for any of them:
Leon: Literally every other Belmont had his help in defeating Dracula because he passed down his strength and learnings. He's the Oppenheimer of Dracula killing: Might not have made the biggest kaboom, but he made the first and everyone else took from him. He's a monster.
Trevor: The people of his land were literally crying at his powers according to Castlevania 3. Like, I don't think any other Belmont has gotten that treatment. Julius, Richter, Juste, Simon, and possibly others (IDK about Christopher and Leon) had people on their side (be it the army in '99, Maria, Maxim, or all of the townspeople in Simon's quest), but society took one look at Trevor and said "nah, I'll take Dracula instead." What a monster.
Christopher: He was in the worst Castlevania game and is still remembered fondly. Also he has enough control over himself to beat Solei without killing him, which shows his control over his power. Let's not forget that he's also only one of 2 to beat Dracula unassisted. What a monster.
Simon: Google "Flesh eating bacteria" (actually don't it's horrifying). Now try traveling across a country and killing Dracula with that. Dude's a monster.
Juste: Characters who use magic are arguably the strongest mechanically, with dudes like SoTN Alucard, Sypha in CV3 (Fire literally does 4x Simon's fully powered whip iirc), Maria, and Soma being some of the mechanically strongest characters in the series, with their alternative characters needing INSANE stat advantages to even stand a chance against them. Juste is arguably the strongest of them all, and the fact his game is the easiest corroborates this. Combine all of THAT with the strength of the Belmont... And you've got a monster.
Richter: If you put him in literally any other Classicvania, he'd probably clean house. Item crashes can be ridiculously broken (ESPECIALLY in SoTN), and he _invented them._ If you also count Maria as not taking place in the final battle between him and Drac, he had the best showing of any _confirmed_ unhelped Belmont. On top of all of that, he's also the fastest Belmont and as mentioned, one of 2 that have been called the strongest, *by the games*. He's absolutely a monster.
Julius: We have no idea what his 1999 battle looked like. People always say he had help at the scene of the war, which automatically equates to having help in the final battle, but other protags "have help" that don't actually take place in the final battle (Soma had Hammer, Arikado, and Yoko yet they never fought Graham, Alucard had Maria but she didn't help against Shaftula in SoTN, Juste had Maxim, Johnathan and Charlotte and Stella and Loretta, but none of those side characters ever fought in their respective game's final battles despite all of them being capable). He could've had help, he could've not. What he _do_ know is that he fought and defeated Dracula without the Vampire Killer since it was sealed away in the castle... That he navigates and fights through _again_ without the whip or any memories, then takes place in a boss fight that is arguably harder than Chaos *despite the fact he's holding back.* A boss fight where he also gets the golden title of "strongest" that's shared only by Richter.
He's also the only other Belmont besides Simon and Richter who has to be nerfed for story reasons (Simon had Dracula's curse, Richter had mind control, and Julius had old age and a nerfed Vampire Killer)... And he's STILL SOMEHOW arguably the strongest character in Dawn of Sorrow. He's literally the *only* character who could break the barrier at the end of the game and he's the *only* character that could kill "sealed" enemies without needing seals. Julius. Is. A. Monster.
Every Belmont is a monster, and the strongest literally can just come down to "who's your favorite."
Unlike Dracula though, these monsters belong in this world!
Fantastic read! I pretty much agree with everything, there’s a case for every single Belmont even ones outside of the canon continuity. But like you said with Simon, some clearly went through MUCH WORSE than others and still managed to prevail. Leon being the "Oppenheimer" of Castlevania is a great way to put it too LMAOOOO
When I made my 1999 video I was perplexed in what order of events the final battle between Julius and Dracula could’ve taken place. Seeing as his whip was "sealed away" to weaken him, yet he still needed to defeat Dracula to allow the Hakuba Clans ritual to be successful. I personally don’t think he fought him without the Vampire Killer, so maybe he sealed it away after, then the ritual took place? Like you said it’s hard to say since we can’t know LOL but it’s so fun to speculate 🤣
Recently Dead by Daylight added some context about Dracula in 1999 since the version of him in that game APPARENTLY comes from that time period, which is absolutely crazy. It’s probably not canon ofc and is mostly for fun but there’s a whole passage about Draculas final defeat against Julius and the Vampires Killer "ripping into his flesh". But then the ending described how he gets teleported to the Dead by Daylight world after so it’s a bit ridiculous but interesting fanservice nonetheless. I’ll have to mention it in a future video project 🤣
@@StockeTepes You make a great point. I just assumed he was defeated without it because I'm pretty sure Dracula was killed outside the Castle (since besides Simon's Quest he doesn't ever leave a body, they couldn't drag him out after defeating him) so they could cut him off from his power source, but for some reason I didn't think they could seal it in the Castle afterwards (although with them trying to defeat Dracula, they could've possibly sealed away the Castle and the Vampire Killer the moment Dracula stepped foot outside to make absolutely sure he didn't get back in).
That does bring me to a funny thought and that's if there happened to be an eclipse during Simon's Quest that Alucard was awake for (and had someone present to seal the castle inside), theoretically Dracula could've ended right there. Seal the Castle while his remains are scattered by Simon, destroy the remains (or revive and kill him one more time, if necessary), and BOOM. 90% of the Castlevania series doesn't happen.
whats the song in the background?
Tearing Bullet, Kaguya Theme from Under Night In-Birth. Excellent fighter too! I’d recommend the game & listening to the whole OST if you haven’t already 😁
@@StockeTepes thx dude, i only knew the character selection theme of that game
It really doesn't matter because
Alucard > Belmont Clan
I might be a just a little bais but… yeah maybe 🤣
I dont think so
Soma is arguably stronger than alucard and he almost got beated by Julius holding back and on his 55 yeara
@saidbrizzo2187 I don't think soma is stronger than Alucard because Alucard defeated Richter belmont and Dracula in his full power form, and he also defeated Trevor belmont ( Zombie )
@@TavokPhantom_747 well dracula wasnt at his full power dude literally just had 5 years to collect chaos energy
Richter was mindcontrolles and doing evil the things that you must NOT do while using the Vampire Killer because of the soul in the whip so he wasn't at his full power
And Trevor is just a Stronger Zombie, it was just putted there to confuse alucard
@saidbrizzo2187 Hmm, I'm convinced
Simon beat Dracula twice but the second time was just elder abuse? Yeah maybe for Simon. He was cursed the second time. Plus all that abuse from Dracula, his monsters, lying townsfolk, banging his head in Deborah Cliff.....and AVGN.
C'mon really?
That’s true 🤣 I was referring more to gameplay with that specific comment, since he’s so easy to exploit. But yes in canon they’re both extremely weak during the final confrontation in Simons Quest. Dracula because of his immediate/incomplete resurrection, and Simon literally having his body torn apart which we learn in the exclusive Japanese Timeline. At that specific moment It’s a battle of wills more than anything.
It’s richter.
For one reason. Julius had help during the fight of 1999. If you read up on the lord of it, Alucard was involved as well as an entire army of hunters. Much like Trevor, julius wasn’t alone when he faced Dracula. Julius is amazingly good. But you discarded Trevor’s strength due to the help he had.
So yeah. Richter is the strongest. I mean, just look at that item crash ability that he has. Plus, when you fight his spirit in portrait of ruin, it’s much harder than beating Julius in aria of sorrow. (That’s down to personal opinion, since I stacked soma with all the best souls in the game)
I wouldn’t disregard a characters feat completely just because they had help, it’s just more impressive to see them having accomplished something alone within the context of a power scaling debate. From a narrative perspective having help does wonders for the overarching themes of Castlevanias story 🥲 Richter did canonically fight alongside Maria too.
@@StockeTepes I know richter had help with Maria. Played rondo enough times😁
Still think it’s richter, but it’s all up to personal debate. We all have our reasons to say who’s the strongest. I just say it’s richter cuz he’s a pain to beat in portrait of ruin. Julius is kinda easier, for a second to last boss. There is no, who’s stronger cuz everyone has their own opinion. I do prefer the having help. It makes the story more interesting.
100% was begging for Trevor to join hector during curse of darkness. 😢 it never happened
@@ladyfan5490 I agree 🥲 I wish Trevor got to help more in the story of Curse of Darkness. Thanks Isaac 😭 Trevor being playable after the story was a nice makeup for that at least LOL
@@StockeTepes here’s an idea that they could of done.
They could have had hector meet Trevor and sypha. Let’s be honest, she’s not letting her new husband out of her sight, not on his own. If you put her personality from judgment and the Netflix show into consideration that makes sense.
Then have the pair beat up hector upon their first meeting.
The girls camp out at Julia’s shop. While the guys rush off
Then when the two return, have special dialog after you beat a boss. Similar to mina in aria. She give a new line of speech every time soma beats a boss (believe, not sure if it’s every time)
Just a fun little way to add some more stuff to an older game.
Juste would have owned Dracula and ended the series if Maxim had actually resurrected him.
Probably not ended the series 🤣 But he would’ve been much more formidable yes. I think something similar would’ve happened if Dracula used Hectors body in Curse of Darkness like Death wanted too!
Yeah, well I’m taller than any of them! Plus Gabriel, or Lords of Shadow Dracula is
most likely the toughest of them all beating Satan Twice. And yes, technically Lords of Shadow is another timeline!
Been gone for some time! Glad to see you return!
#castlevaniafacts #castlevania
I was speaking about it a bit in another comment but I would love to see Gabriel face off against the classic characters somehow, seeing how different they are it would certainly make for an entertaining matchup! But his feats are some of the most impressive yes. The Lords of Shadow trilogy in general had a much bigger "scale" than most traditional Castlevanias, I think.
And thank you! Happy to be back 😊 Working on several projects
@@StockeTepes I have done some myself, maybe someday we could chat on livestream. I managed to put together one of “Whatever Happened to Castlevania?” Along with Cosmic Origins. You’re in the credits for some of those because I started research for those videos with some points you put out.
Yeah, and the 1st time he fought the literal Devil, *he was still 100% human.* It wasn’t until after he went full-on transcendent vampire lord that Satan decided he wasn’t having any of that smoke,…until Dracul took a 110yr power nap and decided to try again. … Which went great. 😅
@@AngiraBlu96 And Satan got roided out in Hell somehow by the time he came back 😆
Alucard: "i'm taller than any of them!"
"Gabriel defeated two times satan"
* Juste enters the chat
HEEEY! ONE OF THEM WASNT A BELMONT AT THE END! I SAW THAT!
🤭
For me it’s between julius or simon
I am probably talking sh*t, but i have the feeling that Ritcher's Power is mostly his Whip being Level *OVER 9000* more than him himself being the strongest (of course i am not saying he is weak) but what do I mean? Let's change the question to this: ALL Belmonts without The Whip and with the same Weapons/Gears, who kicks more asses the hardest?
It would be interesting to see the Belmonts strength with some limitations like without their gear or whips yes. Someone like Juste would excel in that.
The question of who's the strongest belmont was already answered...its julius
At his peak in the war of 1999 he was able to fuck up dracula so hard,that by the end there was no body for dracula to return,hence why he had to resurrect in soma
And lets not be mistaken,julius Not only destroyed the concept of dracula,but is also capable of giving a fair fight 3 DECADES LATER
You can see that in game,when you fight him before going to the chaos realm?
JULIUS HOLY CROSS DESTROYS PART OF THE CASTLE AND SUCKS IT UP....thats why when you go into it,its all messed up
Seriously...we need a game about julious big fight
Jonathan Joestar is my favourite, but he might lose in a direct fight (he has no range weapon so he gotta get up close to attack and tge Belmonts can just use a whip or axe/cross/holy water and W
I forget sometimes that Jonathan Joestar has the sword of Luck and Pluck, which might be able to help him against other hunters LOL
Richter!
Juste is canonically
Isn't Shanoa also strong? Also Maria is powerful too considering that she trained with Richter.
Power wise, Shanoa is one of the most slept on characters in the franchise. I said it in one of the other comments but I believe she could beat a Belmont if she had to.
Nope i think she is the weakest
Because dracula didn't even show her his real form and was about to finish shanoa if albus soul wasnt in dominus shanoa would be died after defeating dracula
And plus dracula here died by being cocky not for being supered by shanoa
She is but much like other non-Belmont protags she can't do the whole thing alone. She carries Dracula's power but dies if she uses it, hence Albus sacrificing himself to beat Drac. Her whole game is about how difficult it is to do a Belmont's job when no one's out there to do it
Isn't Julius? According to cannon Julius defeated Dracula but he received some help from Hakuba clan and others. I find Juste Belmont kind of OP as well.
Yup! I went over it in my video on the subject, but he had lots of help for the actual castle siege. He’s always the soul credit for actually defeating him but I’m sure the others played a big part throughout the process. Justes magical powers are definitely an indicator for how strong Julius was at his prime 😯
@@StockeTepes I think we can estimate Belmonts power according to how dependent they were from vk whip. That's why Juste is so op cuz he inherited Sylphas' magic
I think Simon is the strongest Physically because its Cannon that he cant cast magic unlike the rest of the Belmonts that can. Overall strongest probably not but Physically yes plus his is a barbarian.
