Isaac is probably from a Muslim country, though I'd expect him to not believe in any gods because his traumas made him believe that there couldn't possibly be a god with all the shit he has been forced to go through.
@@davecullins1606 I think he would definitely believe in god, given that his powers literally raise spirits from hell to fill the bodies of the fallen. He speaks about having struggled with his faith, certainly, but I don't think he would ever not believe in the *existence* of a god of some kind, since one needs to have made Hell. His confusion and restlessness all boils down to things like why humanity is so evil, what god's plan was, why people are damned to hell, whether they can be redeemed through his powers and move on to a better afterlife after serving their penance. He talks more about this in the most recent season while discussing hell and theology with bug eyes.
@@11tw48 I watched some more clips and also found out that he is still religious but doesn't practice the faith because he forgot to, being busy with conquest and everything.
I think the bad smell they keep talking abt is the smell of magic, in s4 its mentioned that normal people can detect magic on its users by smell, and the more the individual is good with it, the more they "stink", another exemple of this besides isaac who is good with magic (forgemaster) was saint germain who was also described by greta to be stinking of magic and he usually avoided the suspicion by talking abt not showering for days
@@marwanemarhoussi3615 Trevor also seems to be able to sniff out magic, as that’s how he found the components of the knife and knew what they were. I think it’s a way of showing that anyone can detect magic if they know the signs that it’s present and are able to understand them. A great display of that concept in a visual medium.
I LOVE how we were told about the large mirror here that we eventually will see in season 4 behind the corpses of the royal couple. You really have to pay attention to the conversation.
“My devotion has been a matter of interrogation for some years. And the reparation of my heart is far away.” It’s like listening to poetry. This show is severely under appreciated. They should’ve won awards for the dialogue alone.
Can we talk about that mask that the merchant had? I feel like DIO is gonna walk in take that mask and go kill the other vampires and take the world for himself.

The mayor from the town that moved into the castle also could smell magic, she said alucard's smell nice like spices while saint germaint smells putrid
That Moai head on the table, is a really nice touch. It used to be kind of an easter egg in many classic Konami games. The guys that made this are hardcore fans.
I don't blame the channel giving Issac the spotlight. Besides, he was the character with the moderate amount of screentime on the whole series. Also, the death of Carmila and how he is composed makes him a very interesting character.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, all of the characters in this show were extremely well adapted, but I feel that Isaac is the character the show actually improved. Game Isaac was not NEARLY this deep.
While it is refreshing to hear the prophet Muhammad pbuh name mentioned in a rather positive light The Quote Issac used is probably from a companion of the prophet Muhammad pbuh it is up for debate whether this companion heard it directly from the prophet or not. Also I can't imagine how the prophet Muhammad pbuh journey is like in a world where monsters and fireballs slinging wizards existed.
Probably similar to the journey of Jesus or Abraham or Buddha. Different, yet similar enough to be recognizable. Regardless, this scene, and that quote, form the foundation for Isaac’s character arc later on.
yes, he's holding a stone mask an item accesory from castlevania sotn. and yes, it was also a jojo reference and the color choices refers to aztec aesthetic. some people might gets cringe and said "oH nO A JojO FaNdOM" don't be like that, the animation were based on japanese video game anyway.
In defense of those who have dealt with the superiority complex many JoJo fans seem to have, the show isn't THAT good. Besides, stone masks have been used since even before recorded history. A kindly placed token of appreciation to ancient culture is what I see, though it is nice to know that the games also have them.
@@Ben0_o in fact this little reference has a bit more than simply being a random jojo reference: Castlevania and Jojo have been strangely connected, castlevania's first game came less than one year before Jojo's first issue, and both, at the beginning, dealt with a family fighting vampires across different generations, it wasn't until Jojo's part 4 that the series decided to abandon the vampire hunter plot all together. As such the castlevania games have a couple of references to Jojo in some items and powers, so one in the show could be weirdly a "reference to the jojo references". And it's very appropriate that the only Jojo reference in the castlevania show is the stone mask, the only item shown to transform humans into vampires in the jojo universe. Overall it's a tasteful and justified fun reference, if the castlevania games never had a jojo reference in them it would be weird to have on in the show.
Isaac is by far the best muslim character I've ever seen, his whole character was so interwoven with dervish philosophy that it was apparent Castlevania's writers were really, really invested into the series.
I thought they were going to take this mirror thing in an entirely different direction. A mirror that likes to be called sir, I thought that Isaac would become a slave the more he used it
“Purchased by a lovely couple from Calcutta who did not go out during the day” Wait so is he referring to the dead king and queen or whatever in season 4?
I’ve seen this show like 4 times, and I just realized that blue mask was a stone mask from Jojo, I love how Jojo and Castlevania are always referencing each other
Seems the Dragon Balls in this universe are blue, and the merchant had 3 of them. Smelled it, tasted it, seen it. I wonder if the shopkeeper lost his vision in hell. Maybe by entering a pact with a demon? Or just made himself blind, due to seeing hell, being haunted by what he's seen down there.
As a muslim, my stuation is basically like this A good muslim protoganist Me:Ok A good protoganist who happends to be a muslim Me:Now we are talking. Take my money.
Not surprising. Castlevania is a Konami brand, who were responsible for the Gradius and Parodies series, which feature the Moai Heads and Statues very prominently.
