I thought that the way the second fight with Zangetsu ends is similar to the way that the Julius Belmont fight in Aria of Sorrow ends- where Miriam and Soma both accuse the boss of not fighting at their full potential respectively- as both fights are testing the protagonists.
I don't think you have to limit yourself to just castlevania easter eggs, you can also point out easter eggs from other games in Bloodstained like how the Shovel Armor is a reference to Shovel Knight.
Another reference I think is the shovel armor that transforms Miriam into the shovel armor monster like the axe armor in other Castlevania games. Also the easter egg from SOTN when Alucard can fell asleep in a chair, and if he has the fairy familiar that fairy sings a lullaby, in bloodstained when Miriam sits on the piano at the center of a garden her fairy sings while she plays the piano.
Not to mention that if you stop moving or sit down long enough, the Carbossa familiar will get tired of hovering around and land on your shoulder, just like the Fairy Familiar from SotN.
This game is so SotN! It has everything that got me hooked into SotN and added bunch of more cool stuff and mechanics.. thank you for that video. I love it
5:07 I originally thought it was Trevor Belmont. Not only was CV3: Dracula's Curse a true name but theres also a boss fight where Alucard battles a zombie mimicking Trevor, Sypha and Grant. Not only that but Fake Sypha can summon a zombie Fake Trevor should you kill him first. Thats what i originally thought but i definitely see the relation to Simon looking at this.
There are many, many references from Castlevania Aria/Dawn of sorrow, for example when you open the map seems kinda similar from Aria's one. The black panther is also reference to both games, the music of the entire game are also the same compositors from Dawn of sorrow. There are also many references from Potrait of ruin and order of ecclesia that I don't remember but I saw them when I played it when it came out.
The fight in the Millionare Room its also a reference, but thats a reference to Konami and its greed. And its the way IGA says that he prefers doing games then getting involved with pachinko (the current principal bussines for konami nowadays)
I would like to mention 1 more thing about that Revenant Belmont: If you remember the Fake Hunters boss from SotN you might have seen that after you kill Fake Trevor and Grant Sypha then casts a spell to bring out a zombified version of Trevor. His Character model and colouring is based on Zombie Trevor
Thanks for sharing these videos! It was really neat to hear Rob Belgrade's voice again! He did a nice job on the fan game by Migami Games CV: The Lecarde Chronicles 2 as well.
The Familiar: Carabosse Shard is also a reference to the Faerie Familiar from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. She even sings when you sit down at the piano in the Garden of Silence, much like the Faerie Familiar does when you idle too long in a chair in the Japanese and some of the English versions of SotN.
That game is entirely a huge Castlevania Easter Egg: it's literally a Castlevania game made by the same game developers, just without the copyright of being called "Castlevania".
And also the map itself is a reference to all the metroidvanias. And the final boss Bael is very similar to the true final boss of Aria of Sorrows Chaos. I'm sure if you really look into the game, you will find many more Easter eggs.
There are more than a few JoJo references in Igavania games, though this one specifically did state the initials are for "Orlock Dracule'; which are obvious two vampire names from Castlevania. Could be a double-reference though.
@@SindraVaniaProjects as igarashi seems to be a big jojo fan, that may be the case. however, Dio = Dracula and Jojo = Alucard so idk we cant be sure really
i watch both of your easter eggs videos , amazing work maybe you already been told about the Fairy easter egg , but i thought i comment about it here just in case , in SOTN Saturn version when Alucard sit's on a chair and have a fairy with him after a while he fall a sleep then the fairy start to sing to him video : ua-cam.com/video/-J_Vs6hmPLE/v-deo.html , in Bloodstained if you go to the garden were the piano is with your fairy and play it the fairy will sing with you , i thought this was a cool easter egg , sorry for the bad english
I managed to trigger the Pixie faery event in the 1.0 NTSC US version of the game, it was a bit hard to pull of as you need to raise some programming flags by manipulating pointers in memory ua-cam.com/video/ZN65g5hLbZ0/v-deo.html around min 3 20 the rest of the video is explanation on how the "hack"works
i'm still bothered that you didn't mention the first season jojo mask that turns people into vampire which is literally the foundation of castlevania's story (stone mask drop item)
i realize this is six months late but if you use the loadouts you can equip the sword while the familiar is still out. all you gotta do is set a loadout where the only thing that will change is your weapon, and equip the sword there. then equip the familiar regularly and swap to the loadout, and you will magically have both bloodbinder by your side and in your hands.
the portal the revenant appears out of is also a reference to the portal the doppelgänger comes out of in SoTN
I thought so to.

I don't think you have to limit yourself to just castlevania easter eggs, you can also point out easter eggs from other games in Bloodstained like how the Shovel Armor is a reference to Shovel Knight.

Thanks for watching! They certainly threw so much of SotN into Bloodstained, they wanted people to connect.

Just found and immediately fell in love with your channel. I love anything Castlevania
Thank you for watching!

I was actually not aware he voiced for that game also!
Loads of references to Jojos Bizarre Adventure as well.
Iga has been telling ZA WARUDO how much of a Jojo fan he is for the past 20+ years, Symphony of the night had the stone mask too
My two favorite things together at last lol
Yeah honestly that made me love the game even more. Being able to use The World and then throw the knives like DIO, AND then pose is too good

She even sings when you sit down at the piano in the Garden of Silence, much like the Faerie Familiar does when you idle too long in a chair in the Japanese and some of the English versions of SotN.
The stained glass in the teleport room is Link from Legend of Zelda playing a flute.
vocal fryyyyyyyyy of the night
That game is entirely a huge Castlevania Easter Egg: it's literally a Castlevania game made by the same game developers, just without the copyright of being called "Castlevania".
I'm a year late and I'm sure everyone already found this out, but the fairy familiar sings whens you play the piano, just like the fairy in SotN...
The 8 bit Nightmare level is a direct nod to CV3.
And also the map itself is a reference to all the metroidvanias. And the final boss Bael is very similar to the true final boss of Aria of Sorrows Chaos. I'm sure if you really look into the game, you will find many more Easter eggs.
You can also change Miriam's clothing color and hair color to mimic Alucard quite well. You know, just to follow up on getting the cosplay right.
You have a beautiful voice.Thanks from Panama city beach FL
I also got a chest that had mac and cheese in it from high jumping the chair.
What's that super jump at 1:25? Don't remember being able to do that in Bloodstained.
It's a skill shard you have to craft, I believe.
I think O.D.s initials maybe be a reference to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. As Alucard was Dracula backwards O.D. is Dio backwards.
There are more than a few JoJo references in Igavania games, though this one specifically did state the initials are for "Orlock Dracule'; which are obvious two vampire names from Castlevania. Could be a double-reference though.
@@SindraVaniaProjects as igarashi seems to be a big jojo fan, that may be the case.
however, Dio = Dracula and Jojo = Alucard
so idk we cant be sure really
Im a year late on this, bus his name is a reference to Dio, as O.D. pronounced backwards sounds the same as Dio.
Plus O.D.'s ability to stop time and throw a bunch of ice "daggers" that resume their flight once time resumes.
i watch both of your easter eggs videos , amazing work
maybe you already been told about the Fairy easter egg , but i thought i comment about it here just in case ,
in SOTN Saturn version when Alucard sit's on a chair and have a fairy with him after a while he fall a sleep then the fairy start to sing to him video : ua-cam.com/video/-J_Vs6hmPLE/v-deo.html ,
in Bloodstained if you go to the garden were the piano is with your fairy and play it the fairy will sing with you , i thought this was a cool easter egg , sorry for the bad english
Thank you so much for watching! I am aware of it and will likely put it in another future video!
I managed to trigger the Pixie faery event in the 1.0 NTSC US version of the game, it was a bit hard to pull of as you need to raise some programming flags by manipulating pointers in memory
ua-cam.com/video/ZN65g5hLbZ0/v-deo.html
around min 3 20 the rest of the video is explanation on how the "hack"works
In the early 2000s there was a sindra from a forum that was obsessed with sotn that wasn't you was it
If it was the Castlevania Dungeon forums, it was likely me. Didn't think I was obsessed with SotN as much though, lol. (Definitely Bloodlines)
@@SindraVaniaProjects must have been someone else I think it was a baldurs hate forum but I can't remember. I just recognized the name
Eastern egg?? the entire game is an Easter egg!!!
And Rotn is one letter off from being Sotn, just noticing that
Where is the fairy song
I remember I found 2 chests under Od
Jump 10 times= nose glasses, jump 20 times= macaroni and cheese
The nose glasses look more like Waluigi
i'm still bothered that you didn't mention the first season jojo mask that turns people into vampire which is literally the foundation of castlevania's story (stone mask drop item)
Not sure what you mean. Castlevania came out in Japan before JoJo started. Stone Mask didn't show up as an equipable item until SotN.
The sword is the same if you use it you cant use the familiar just like the familiar in castlevania
i realize this is six months late but if you use the loadouts you can equip the sword while the familiar is still out. all you gotta do is set a loadout where the only thing that will change is your weapon, and equip the sword there. then equip the familiar regularly and swap to the loadout, and you will magically have both bloodbinder by your side and in your hands.
You talked about the Simon Belmont twice, and didn't point out that the quest itself to avenge "Richter".
Fighting Zangetsu somehow reminded me of fighting Richter in SotN.
I wonder why...
And psp version as well
MORE ? u mean 99% of the game are easter eggs
Why not screw the Easter Eggs and give gamers a decent looking playable character!
A character that does not look like a reject from Downton Abbey.
Love the vids but you gotta stop with the Sotin, its been getting on my nerve everytime you say it!
And what the heck is a sotin?
@@Genmaken-Hoshi A miserable little pile of shit.
