The magic she was using close up was supposed to be ranged too, she just got creative. Wish we had more magic in games that would let us get creative in a tight spot.
Especially after seeing Season 3 I love how Sypha disposed of Cho with almost contemptuous ease. Cho spent centuries toying with humans, even depriving those she fought of an honorable death -- can't think of a better way for her to go out than getting casually squashed like a bug by someone who never had to care about the monster she was.
Plus you can atribute her loss to an unfavourable type matchup. I can't comfortably call her a pushover since her greatest asset of being impervious to melee was addressed with a really specific ice ability
we don't know for sure she is dead. like you said, she had relevance in season 3 so there is still a chance that she survived having her mist turned to ice and shattered.
@@dannyrank123 i mean, she ha relevance for the guys who just got impaled, cho died like a piece of shit with the other vampire generals because she was a coward, she hid from people who could actually kill her, and just enjoyed her superiority, first time she gets called ina place with actual powerfull enemies and dies like a fuck.
@@dannyrank123 Pretty sure she dead. Mist is cooled water vapor, and water vapor, after being frozen and thawed, turns into just straight up water. Even if she was "still alive", she'd no longer have the ethereal control over her body she once did, effectively rendering her a useless puddle unable to reform itself for eternity. And that's if we just assume she had any chance of surviving the full-blown ice attack, which being in a vapor-form at the time likely removed any resistance to.
@@ZackofSpades compared to that possibility, she had better hope that attack killed her. Infinitely more merciful than an eternity of a "I have no mouth and I must scream" type living hell...
I love how in this scene the vampire generals are all incredibly talented, but are all picked off one by one because they don't work together, but fight as individuals. Just that bit in the end where the indian vampire general dodges the whip, gets her comrade killed & herself killed - great fight choreography
And what makes it better is it is made pretty clear throughout the season that they aren't all that cooperative. Dracula pointed it out often and it took Godbrand to spur them into action to go on a feeding frenzy. Dracula didn't have the best court on his side when he decided to go all out war against the human race. Carmilla shows herself to be an adept leader and strategist, but I don't see her lasting long in a fight. Her sisters, on the other hand, might be the real muscle. (Besides the actual muscle)
@@samsonguy10k I suppose there's an element of choosing the right people for the job. You can see at the start Dracula's war council are looking pretty happy to see him until he starts rambling about exterminating humanity and trusting the human forgemasters. If even Godbrand could see this would end badly for the Vampires, win or lose, it's unlikely all of the other Vampires were going to put their self-interest above their loyalty to Dracula. I imagine if you had happy Dracula leading all of the War Council, they would be able to work together, as they all respect Dracula at least. But in Dracula's absence and with a war goal they don't like, it seems scheming is inevitable. And honestly, I think Dracula also knew this, and was hoping that by assembling all the world's most dangerous vampires in one place and giving them a motive to betray him, he would finally have enemies powerful enough to kill him. So maybe the war council wasn't for wiping out humanity, but for defeating Dracula? He certainly doesn't seem to care that his court is openly questioning him anymore, and Alucard even suspects Dracula is just trying to commit suicide by proxy. When it comes to Carmilla, she is competent but I would say she just got really lucky! She's got lots of flaws which hold her back. She is manipulative, but not actually that good at manipulating people - notably, the only two people she tries manipulating are the two people she is stronger than (Godbrand & Hector). She doesn't try manipulating Isaac or Vampire Lords like Cho because they aren't as simple as Godbrand or naive as Hector, and if they didn't join her plot there is a high chance they would kill her. She is a competent strategist but isn't that good at strategy either. She committed to the assault on Dracula's castle, but failed to deal with the other FIVE Vampire Generals in the War Council, any one of which could have defeated her. She didn't get Isaac on her side, which meant that half of the night creatures would remain loyal to Dracula. Worst of all, she holds her enemies in contempt and doesn't bother to actually learn what their capabilities are. She doesn't consider humans to be threats at all and so has complete blindspots on Hector, Isaac, Trevor & Sypha, so has no plans for how to deal with these powerful humans. She considered Dracula to be a weak old Vampire, not aware that even in his weakened state he could have killed everyone in the War Council. If Carmilla had actually set foot in Dracula's castle - she had no way of dealing with the Vampire Council, the Vampire Hunters or the Big Boss Vampire himself. The crowning achievement is abusing Hector to give him plenty of motives to betray her, but at least she has Lenore to cover for her weaknesses there. Assuming Lenore doesn't overthrow Carmilla. She's a bit of an impulsive mainiac, which is why we love her, but by S1 it's clear she's beginning to get too big for her boots and S4 is no doubt going to end with her biting off more than she can chew ;D
@@noaccount4 I don't see Carmilla being stronger than Godbrand. She knocked him down, yeah, but she did it when he wasn't looking. But that just fits within her schtick. Catching her enemies flat-footed. She is very much a rogueish type and that's not against her. You fight with what you have. Not all battles are won by muscle alone.
this show has some of the best fights i have ever seen in animation history - no the mention the best wizard fight i have seen - when you picture a proper wizard/sorc that is what u want to see and rarely do...
I like how it is clear that Sylpa's battle style changes over the seasons, when here she is so static and almost immobile, but by season 4 she is fire-ice-lightning jumps all over the place and combines elements like nothing.
"Hmm, this mage seems able to freely manipulate the shape and movement of any ice she creates with her magic. I guess I will run on top of this sheet of ice she made, surely nothing will go wrong." -some vampire bloke with two scimitars
and the other fucking vampire: "Oh yeah, lemme just fight this Belmont over here. That always turned out to be beneficial for my kind! After all, Belmonts aren't known for their monster killing skills!"
@Cragmortis Heh, yeah. I was a bit taken back at first with her Latin accent [assuming that's what I'm hearing, given the VA's name], but it IS a romance language, and so is Romanian, so it fits. Also makes her even cuter! :)
I couldn't agree more. She's not overdone. She's not a damsel in distress She has tangible contributions to the story. She's a badass. Why can't more anime's with male main characters do this!?
@@melantus Yeah, love how when she got scratched by Drac Trevor got all like "YOU HURT MY GIRL!" and sypha burns her wonds shut while trevor gets his ass kicked.
I love how they handle the battles in this show. Especially Trevor and Sypha. Him weaving cat's cradles of death with the Vampire Killer and her using her magic so creatively is just awesome. And Alucard uses all his Symphony of the Night skills and souls... yeah, love that too...
@@sc2999 The morning star whip is basically the final form of the Vampire Killer. In order to explain how you get a completely different looking item from a floating ball of magic, they made the whip alchemically capable to shift its shape.
It WAS awesome, hands down blew my mind. I did miss Alucard using Soul Steal or any of the other spells from SOTN, but hey, that may come in the future...just like how SOTN came years after CV II in the canon timeline!
I literally am more in love with this show just to the simple fact they had the bloody tears theme playing I deadass can scratch this off my dream list
This is what I want from my Anime. Fast and fluid action. Straight to the point. Not a bunch of technical inner-monologing about the fight. But this is why Castlevania works. It has the sensibilities of American storytelling within the strengths of an Anime
That is exactly how I feel about it. The pacing is just right without the unneeded filler and exposition. Everything flows nicely and the fighting choreography is amazing!
@@tangofoxtrot40 c’mon now, you’re giving too much credit, before the fight even begins we have to hear the villain monologueing, then we hear his entire life story, and THEN we get to the fight.
the technical part is the best, and it's present also in castlevania, the fights do not ends for some friendship bullshit, the only difference is that the powers are simple and straightforward, try watching a hxh fight without some explanation
The difference is here the hype comes from “we’re finally at the big fight! Look at them all working together!” Some of the best anime fights with significant dialogue are so good because of the dialogue. Seeing two characters form a connection as the fight and to have their desire and goal more clear is exciting. Rengoku vs. Akaza is one of the best anime fights. It’s dialogue heavy, but that adds to the fight because it allows the two to develop a “relationship” (for lack of better word) while the fight is happening. It turns it from “you’re a generic demon and I’m the good guy” into something more personal. You start to almost like Akaza and you understand more about Rengoku.
I just LOVE how magic is used in this series. No more big blocks of slow ice or slow fireballs. Look at how creative they used the ice-magic for example. Can't explain how much I love it.
Trevor: I terrify them, Sypha disorients them, Alucard goes over the top and we support him Trevor: *proceeds to do the disorienting* Sypha: *proceeds to be terrifying* Alucard: *proceeds to go over the top and be the only one that actually followed the plan*
@@Ninjaananas Sure, although technically the reason Dracula and Carmilla's forces took such massive losses were because Sypha teleported the castle out from under them and they all died in the river. That was a lot of dead vampires right there.
@catty yoo Carmilla referred to the other women among the vampire lords when talking to Godbrand... "Women", plural... Other than Carmilla herself and the (Indian?) vampiress in blue dress that is killed by Alucard, the only other who could be female was the Chinese/Japanese one (Mist). Unless I'm forgetting someone.
From the flashback in Ssn 3, I gathered Cho wasn't a talker. She let her silence and actions do the communicating, which can be a tool of terror of a vampire. Nice thing about Carmilla, Godbrand, and Dracula is you can hear them coming. If you don't see Cho coming, you won't know she's there until she makes you aware.
The little details sometimes, man...the mist vampire sporting that snarky little grin as she avoids having her head bisected. If this series keeps on as well as it has so far, I could watch 20 seasons.
@@kevincanavan2440 Assuming they are roughly level 15, meaning a +5 proficiency bonus and assuming a +5 modifier from Sypha, the Save DC would be 18 total, Vampires get a +9 to Dexterity saving throw, meaning a 45% chance to fail the Saving Throw. At a 5th level casting of the spell Burning Hands, it'd deal 7d6 (average of 24) fire damage. Assuming the Vampire was damaged enough, he could've easily been finished off by that damage if he failed a save. However, if she put her strongest into that spell, it'd actually be 10d6 (average of 30) fire damage instead, with the potential high roll of up to 60 damage would be more than enough even if the Vampire was just under half health (and failed the save). With Empowered Spell Metamagic she could increase the chances of the dice rolled are higher than average. This would mean she could even do said metamagic with the 7d6 instead, as she likely wouldn't use much higher than 5th on what isn't the final encounter. >I play D&D too much, don't mind me.
Well it is a cursed/divine weappn that was forge through alchemy with a vampire's soul bound and fused to it. Also wait ti'll simon belmont get's a hold of it he'll turn it into flaming ball and chain.
@@cybernurgle6413 no joke. they greenlit season 3 before season 2 was even released. castlevania got ridiculous stream requests all over the world, like top 20 on netflix in every country in the world.
@@oldfrend i wonder if it going to be Symphony of the Night or Curse of Darkness? Most likely Curse of Darkness since a ot of the characters from that game where already introduced in S2
I love how sypha is limited to 3 elements but is so creative with them especially the ice although her fight scenes get a little repetitive sometimes most times its so satisfying
Everybody cries at the end with "I'm killing my boy", but I cried the first time here. Why? Because I'm a huge game fan, and have been hoping for an actually fantastic game-based series/movie for ages. Nothing has come as far to doing that than this show has, and experiencing this finale with the characters you care about, stakes you care about, fantastic animation and such good music really did me in on how good this is, and it actually brought me tears of joy. Also sidenote, Sypha just rocks. A strong and likable female character without being on the nose with a female empowerment message. Instantly more effective and enjoyable when she's simply there.
I feel she was a bit obnoxious in the 3rd season, but that's just my reaction to some choices she made, and it was few and far between. Just minor things that made her seem like a bi***y girlfriend. Those reactions are biased from my own dating history, though. (I felt that Season 3 was a bit of a dialogue slog... for an animated series, at least.) Don't get me wrong, I like the whole show overall. By Season 4, she was back to being fun, kick-ass Sypha from the first two seasons. This is still probably the best Western video game adaptation to date. With well-crafted fan service that actually has a point, and affects the story and plot. The folks who made it are fans, themselves, and that love shows through.
Now, after watching The Last of Us (so far,) I take back my comment about the best Western game adaptation. I still consider castlevania a triumph, and am awaiting the spin-offs and sequels.
Sypha is so awesome...her fight scenes are always a delight, and best of all, she is really powerful too. So is it that her magic revolve around fire and ice elements? I recall her using a bit of wind magic in season 1...but fire and ice seem to be her specialty. It so happens to be Dracula goto elements in the Lord of Shadows games too.
See, in an anime, this show would last for 30 damn seasons, have long as hell dialogue, and make each vampire general take at least a season to kill... Castlevania? Say nothing, and get the job done! HELL YEAH!
i agree, most animes specialy shonen animes need hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of episodes (and endless filler) just to get the same level of impact in both story and characters that this series made in a very few episodes.
What type of anime have you been watching lol One piece? Dragon Ball? Naruto? Bleach? Yeah sure but those anime are meant to be prolonged Do it too fast and they start to catch up the manga and and making a Manga takes time They can't wait for that since they are going to animate it which takes more time Anime like One punch man Demon slayer, Reincarnated as a slime Etc... Are some the anime that takes fights like 2 or less episodes to kill a boss
@@ShadrackMeduson not alot of people can wait, might make them lose interest An example of this like Attack on titan they took too long making a new season that they lost alot of audience even though the story was great and interesting but the hype was gone
This is by far the best anime fight scene I have seen in a very long time. It literally gave me chills when Alucard used his wolf transformation. Also Trevor’s mad whip skills and Sypha’s magic were so kinetic. Must have watched over 30 times now 🦇👻
@catty yoo Samuel Deats (director) revealed on his twitter that her name was Chō (butterfly in japanese). I don't think shes chinese, nor male for the matter.
Seeing how they handled Dracula's army, along with his generals and some of Carmilla's soldiers only to struggle against the man himself. Dracula really was a nightmare
And let's add that this Dracula is a broken man who starved himself He is nowhere near as strong as he'd normally be yet he overpowered the Trio. A True Nightmare indeed.
I adore how terrifying Sypha's magic is. The idea of her just conjuring up a razor-thin sheet of ice to slice someone apart is amazing. I also love how Trevor's fighting style reminds me of Joseph Joestar during Part 2 where he'd ensnare Eisidisi with the hamon scarf's threads. You fight Belmont and you think he's just missing and whipping about with his chainwhip, but nah, he lays a carefully placed trap that completely ensnares you.
The season's three most impressive characters for me were: 3. Dracula (as a character, in his last scenes chiefly) 2. Isaac (all around compelling) 1. Sypha. God DAMN.
I haven't ever played much of any of the games, but I know their history and mythos, and for some reason I instantly recognized the video-game fighting music. What a icon of history.
@@helenfotopoulou5125 you're wrong check it again Blood Tears is the daytime theme outside of the villages, Silence of the Daylight is the daytime Village theme.
Sypha is so amazing. I love how she can be close range as well as use her magic skillfully while far away. And she knows how to use her skill. She’s so great, love her so much. That is how you right a strong female character
Its nuts how Sypha was able to fight so incredibly well, like she used all the magic and more you were imagining a sorcerer would be able to use in this fight, very witty and quick of thought, composed and calculated too
It's weird how Konami is fucking up their actual games, but in terms of OTHER people using their properties, they're fucking nailing it. I'm so confused how this kind of stuff happens tbh
Konami doesn't give a fuck unless it's something they can use for a packinko machine, or if there's a chance to pick on Hideo Kojima. That's the difference between them and the guys behind this, they (the Netflix guys) actually care. #FucKonami
Simple, they licensed it to people who actually care. The big wigs at Konami are happy, because they get positive PR, money and brand recognition for the very much still active gambling machines, and all they had to do was sign a piece of paper allowing someone to use their IP and it probably had a clause where if the person fucked it up, Konami gets paid anyways. Win/win
Antoine Landreth I don’t know why, but she kinda reminds me of Merlin from The Seven Deadly Sins. They are both powerful mages, tough girls and have a great knowledge
@@rosaria6363 and great smiles and are friends with a immortal child who is on bad terms with their dad and a man who likes them and are related to nobility. They are also the big sisters of the groups. Merlin being the least responsible and Sypha being the most responsible. I love them both.
@@masaba45 actually it's pee in a bucket, but since Trevor does marry her and they have kids I'm pretty sure ole treffy has tasted her pee a little if he ate her pussy. So Trevor has had syphas beer in his life.
Raymond Belmont Calling him a negro was completely unnecessary and rude as fuck. I totally get eating pussy is normal but this is an animated tv show about vampires and action, no need to bring in the sex into everything. Control your horny ass. But regardless, yes they do marry and im sure he tasted lots of it o3o
The effort they put into making Trevor demonstrate demonstrate actual whip TECHNIQUE is godlike. He has an entire style for close range! He can freestyle a kick into turning the whip into bolos! This is IMMACULATE.
Trevor: I terrify them, Sypha disorients them, Alucard goes over the top and we support him. Sypha: Yes.... *Sypha proceeds to take all the kills. Sypha: Who supports who now?
1:26 Dude the guy in the red cape is the best vampire ever. Just shows up out of left field and just PUNCHES Alucard! XD LOL! No special attacks or slick moves, dude just floats daintily on up and is like, "HAVE AT YOU!" WHAM! Hahah! I know this proly sounds dumb but, I found that hilarious.
I love this scene. If you noticed, all three can hold their own in one on one combat. However, when they team up, they're unstoppable! Sypha controlling the ice with her fingers?!? Someone on the animation team must love Yamcha from the Dragonball series as Yamcha can control ki blasts with his fingers.
If they made SoTN anime, Alucard would said something to Fake trio (include Fake Sypha) like "You guys are nothing compared to real ones". ps. maybe fake duo (minus Grant Danasty ;_;)
2:16 - 2:24 I love how they act in this scene. They aren't phased. They show confidence in their abilities and parts 1 and 2 of this fight show they can quickly shape their abilities to complement each other. They are an extremely effective unit.
This may sound of topic, but this is everything that "The last Jedi"-throneroom battle should have been : -An actual reason why this battle takes place -pretty sweet opening -Kickass music that is pleasing to the fans -each hero gets in a decent kill count and at least 1 general caracter-kill -some pretty sweet teamwork
bert bvdemier yeah it’s really nice too how they build up drac to be a super strong vamp and his fight actually reflects that with them being no match. Unlike some Star Wars characters, I’m looking at you snoke.
And it just so happens that Sypha, unlike Rey, is not a Mary Sue. She is immensely powerful, but she gets hurt several times and needs rescuing (Trevor saved her from the Cyclops). She is not always in the right either and both men by her side aren't degraded or humiliated in her presence. And she gets completely overmatched by Dracula and only Alucard could truly even stand a chance.
Sypha is seriously underrated & probably the most powerful of them all. She single handedly killed three generals, saved all their asses and even transported a bloody castle. She’s just too powerful.
Bear in mind that canonically, in the end, it's magic users who ultimately destroy Dracula. Not belmonts, not Alucard - Sorcerer's. It is the most powerful tool in the Castlevania universe - a counterpoint to Dracula's own magic.
Trevor with that whip is really something else, his strategies and cleverness are something on an entirely new level. Now I know why only the Belmont Clan can use the Vampire Killer whip.
This is easily one of my favourite all time animated fight scenes. Maybe one of my favourite fight scenes, full stop. It establishes the stakes before they even start, with the characters in a state of determined dread. They hash together a plan just before stepping in, signifying the relationship that had grown between them during the story. Power levels and skills have already been displayed by this point. We know that the guard vampires are powerful but not at the level of the vampire rulers. The rulers display their mastery by countering many of the attacks our heroes throw at them, escalating the conflict naturally. The guards are dispatched with ease, but the vampire lords show skill, cunning and prescience in the fight. There is a victory, yes, but it wasn't easy and it's just the beginning. The real fight hasn't even begun yet. I love how all the characters, both the heroes and villains, display their various (very cool) skills during the fight, we get to see what each subject brings to the fray. My favourite moment has to be the giant white wolf welding a flying sword. I mean, come on. 9/10.
Even till this day, the castle battle gets me hype/pumped. The music is of course bloody tears. Both the battle and music together was done so godlike, i look at it all the time.
This just makes me want "Castlevania 1999" even more. Alucard fought alongside Julius Belmont, a shrine priest from Japan, and a currently unknown descendant of Sypha Belnades (not Yoko) in the final battle. Imagine the Dracula crisis of Transylvania here (1476) and Castlevania Bloodlines (1917), but on a world-wide scale. Wouldn't it be beyond epic seeing that with "Heart of Fire" or "Simon's Theme" playing?
i want aria of sorrow to be adapted actually imagine soma cruz being op as fuck collecting souls with alucard and julius belmont probably the 3 most op heroes in the history of caslevania
its like a comic i saw once with Alucard meeting Richter and Maria and saying "i dont know about this new idiots" then he looks at a picture of Sympha and Trevor and says "I miss my idiots". Just imaging meeting Yokko and Julius XP
I would love to see this. The incident was talked about, but never covered. The Demon Castle War was supposedly groundbreaking enough that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces were ready to send a scout unit into the castle in 2035. Granted, they all died but Hammer, but still. The governments of the world not only knew, but they were ready. It implies that if Vampires had been a secret from the general public before, they weren't, any more. That and Soma's casual reaction to it all.
It would be a decendant of sypha and trevor because they end up having kids together, that is what the next castlevania series will be based on is their son
Dude...this OST is probably one of the most epic thing ove ever heard, it melds so well with the flow of the battle making it feel like they're fighting to the ryhthm of the music
I, may or may not have, got a raging hard on as soon as Bloody Tears started gently playing. My anticipation and joy were then unexpectedly satisfied by what is arguably the best anime fight I'll ever see as long as I live.😈 If you have doubts about my claim, put your minds at ease. I am right and that is fact.🤟
1:06 Season 3 got me to rewatch the show and look for this vampire. It is good to see that Alucard (and Sypha) absolutely wrecked her. Minor spoilers below: Although kind of scary that his two human pupils inflicted more damage on him than she did...
Favorite part about all of this, is that they weeck everyones shit, then get absolutely dogged by Dracula. Like taking on his whole army mean shit to him. Really goes to show not only how powerful these three are, but also how insane Dracula is.
Watching that one vampire dude against Sypha, watching him fight against Ice, I'm like, "lemme guess, he's gonna do that run on the top?" And when Sypha cut him in half, I was actually like, "THANK YOU! That's what everyone should be freakin doin!"
Ok, going into season two, I was unsure if I was gonna like it as much as season 1 (despite how short it was) and I can just say... season 1 is practically garbage compared to season 2 (again keep in mind that season 1 was amazing) This show was made with a lot of care and a lot of love. Something other video game adaptations currently lack and the knowledge that not only are we getting more of this show but also a FUCKING DEVIL MAY CRY series from the game guys... I don’t think my heart can take it.
I'm glad they made Sypha a good close range magic user. You don't see that often in media.
I love watching her fight. The sheer creativity behind her spells too. The animators did a fantastic job here.
Im just glad she isnt a Sakura type female character
The magic she was using close up was supposed to be ranged too, she just got creative. Wish we had more magic in games that would let us get creative in a tight spot.
Glad she isn't another Sakura either

If Carmilla had actually set foot in Dracula's castle - she had no way of dealing with the Vampire Council, the Vampire Hunters or the Big Boss Vampire himself. The crowning achievement is abusing Hector to give him plenty of motives to betray her, but at least she has Lenore to cover for her weaknesses there. Assuming Lenore doesn't overthrow Carmilla.
She's a bit of an impulsive mainiac, which is why we love her, but by S1 it's clear she's beginning to get too big for her boots and S4 is no doubt going to end with her biting off more than she can chew ;D
@@noaccount4 I don't see Carmilla being stronger than Godbrand. She knocked him down, yeah, but she did it when he wasn't looking. But that just fits within her schtick. Catching her enemies flat-footed. She is very much a rogueish type and that's not against her. You fight with what you have. Not all battles are won by muscle alone.
@@samsonguy10k true that, she is very sneaky breeki
But then you see when Carmilla is fighting in her throne room. Tell me that she isn’t stronger than Godbrand.

this show has some of the best fights i have ever seen in animation history - no the mention the best wizard fight i have seen - when you picture a proper wizard/sorc that is what u want to see and rarely do...

I agree.
viperanaf next time someone says mages can’t fight hand to hand combat
Agreed a combat wizard with both attack n defense plus chain esp ds
And the music!! This interpretation of Blood tears is amazing!!!
I like how it is clear that Sylpa's battle style changes over the seasons, when here she is so static and almost immobile, but by season 4 she is fire-ice-lightning jumps all over the place and combines elements like nothing.
And her opponents get dumber too
"Hmm, this mage seems able to freely manipulate the shape and movement of any ice she creates with her magic. I guess I will run on top of this sheet of ice she made, surely nothing will go wrong."

@Cragmortis Heh, yeah. I was a bit taken back at first with her Latin accent [assuming that's what I'm hearing, given the VA's name], but it IS a romance language, and so is Romanian, so it fits. Also makes her even cuter! :)
I couldn't agree more. She's not overdone. She's not a damsel in distress She has tangible contributions to the story. She's a badass. Why can't more anime's with male main characters do this!?
@@melantus Yeah, love how when she got scratched by Drac Trevor got all like "YOU HURT MY GIRL!" and sypha burns her wonds shut while trevor gets his ass kicked.
I love how they handle the battles in this show. Especially Trevor and Sypha. Him weaving cat's cradles of death with the Vampire Killer and her using her magic so creatively is just awesome.
And Alucard uses all his Symphony of the Night skills and souls... yeah, love that too...
Davesknd isn’t it the morning star whip ?
@@sc2999 In the games the Vampire Killer and Morning Star are the same thing. The Morning Star is usually an upgrade item for the Vampire Killer
@@sc2999 The morning star whip is basically the final form of the Vampire Killer. In order to explain how you get a completely different looking item from a floating ball of magic, they made the whip alchemically capable to shift its shape.
Davesknd oh ok thanks
It WAS awesome, hands down blew my mind. I did miss Alucard using Soul Steal or any of the other spells from SOTN, but hey, that may come in the future...just like how SOTN came years after CV II in the canon timeline!
So Sypha did a lot more then just "disorient them"
Getting sliced in half, smashed into bits, and nuked into ash are all fairly disorienting.
Far far more.
Death is the best form of crowd control
@@theonlychickensama8353 And healing, since tank would be taking no damage. :3
Hey, howitzers can be disorienting.
Cho: *Turns into mist to become untouchable*

I literally am more in love with this show just to the simple fact they had the bloody tears theme playing I deadass can scratch this off my dream list
It's such a good version too.
It is
Right!!! Was a good remastering of the Simons Quest track.
wtf, cho was a badass in the humans perspective, thought she was just unmatchable to the belmonts and alucard (and fucking sypha)
They're like an RPG party, and it's always the mage that's OP.
Yeah, especially in Dragon Age 2. Max Primal magic and your mage is both DPS and Tank.
Nope, this one is using cheats. There is no mage that has unlimited mana...
"I don't care how large the room is, I cast Ice Guillotine"
This is what I want from my Anime. Fast and fluid action. Straight to the point. Not a bunch of technical inner-monologing about the fight. But this is why Castlevania works. It has the sensibilities of American storytelling within the strengths of an Anime
That is exactly how I feel about it. The pacing is just right without the unneeded filler and exposition. Everything flows nicely and the fighting choreography is amazing!
Yup. Anime can be so drawn out. One slash of a sword could run one episode of flashbacks before it hits
@@tangofoxtrot40 c’mon now, you’re giving too much credit, before the fight even begins we have to hear the villain monologueing, then we hear his entire life story, and THEN we get to the fight.
the technical part is the best, and it's present also in castlevania, the fights do not ends for some friendship bullshit, the only difference is that the powers are simple and straightforward, try watching a hxh fight without some explanation
The difference is here the hype comes from “we’re finally at the big fight! Look at them all working together!”
Some of the best anime fights with significant dialogue are so good because of the dialogue. Seeing two characters form a connection as the fight and to have their desire and goal more clear is exciting. Rengoku vs. Akaza is one of the best anime fights. It’s dialogue heavy, but that adds to the fight because it allows the two to develop a “relationship” (for lack of better word) while the fight is happening. It turns it from “you’re a generic demon and I’m the good guy” into something more personal. You start to almost like Akaza and you understand more about Rengoku.
I just LOVE how magic is used in this series. No more big blocks of slow ice or slow fireballs. Look at how creative they used the ice-magic for example. Can't explain how much I love it.
Trevor: I terrify them, Sypha disorients them, Alucard goes over the top and we support him
Trevor: *proceeds to do the disorienting*
Sypha: *proceeds to be terrifying*
Alucard: *proceeds to go over the top and be the only one that actually followed the plan*
To be fair, the vampires they fought were so incompetent that the plan just changed
Sypha didn’t make them explode so I’m still less scared of her
@@mr.stuffdoer8483 I dunno, an ice guillotine is a bit terrifying.
Alucard is just happy to have his friends again.
Task failed successfully.
Sypha is such a badass! Love her!
As long as someone kick ass it's a perfect character huh? Nobody to drop and ask how she has unlimited mana and can dodge close up attacks?
@@CrimRui she has fighting experience..
and also I don’t think this series has those manga limitations for using magic 😂😂
Okay, let's take score here.
Vampire general killing blows:
Sypha: 3
Trevor: 1
Alucard: 1
Isaac: 1
Just saying. Girl did work.
True. But Alucard and Trevor killed more soldiers.
Like in the game, Sypha is the boss killer.
@@Ninjaananas Sure, although technically the reason Dracula and Carmilla's forces took such massive losses were because Sypha teleported the castle out from under them and they all died in the river. That was a lot of dead vampires right there.
@@Toffeehammer
True, BUT that also shows that she broke it.
@@Ninjaananas lol can't argue with that.
@@Toffeehammer
So Sypha killed the most soldiers, most generals and the whole castle.
My only gripe with this is that I wanted to see more of the mist vampire. She looks cool AF but didn't even get any lines.
@catty yoo Carmilla referred to the other women among the vampire lords when talking to Godbrand... "Women", plural... Other than Carmilla herself and the (Indian?) vampiress in blue dress that is killed by Alucard, the only other who could be female was the Chinese/Japanese one (Mist). Unless I'm forgetting someone.
Cho was a great character
Back to this comment after season 3... My wish has been granted.
@@CidGuerreiro1234 Beat me to it! Cho and one other female vampire general here have my favorite character designs in the series
From the flashback in Ssn 3, I gathered Cho wasn't a talker. She let her silence and actions do the communicating, which can be a tool of terror of a vampire. Nice thing about Carmilla, Godbrand, and Dracula is you can hear them coming. If you don't see Cho coming, you won't know she's there until she makes you aware.
1:40 You know, turning into mist when there is a water/frost mage around may not have been her best idea....
The little details sometimes, man...the mist vampire sporting that snarky little grin as she avoids having her head bisected.
If this series keeps on as well as it has so far, I could watch 20 seasons.
"I cast burning hands at 5th level."
No problem, at what range?
Melee.
@@michaelronqedar7919 *roll* nat 20
@@christophermares4069 poser! Burning hands is a saving throw (jk)
@@kevincanavan2440 Assuming they are roughly level 15, meaning a +5 proficiency bonus and assuming a +5 modifier from Sypha, the Save DC would be 18 total, Vampires get a +9 to Dexterity saving throw, meaning a 45% chance to fail the Saving Throw. At a 5th level casting of the spell Burning Hands, it'd deal 7d6 (average of 24) fire damage. Assuming the Vampire was damaged enough, he could've easily been finished off by that damage if he failed a save. However, if she put her strongest into that spell, it'd actually be 10d6 (average of 30) fire damage instead, with the potential high roll of up to 60 damage would be more than enough even if the Vampire was just under half health (and failed the save). With Empowered Spell Metamagic she could increase the chances of the dice rolled are higher than average. This would mean she could even do said metamagic with the 7d6 instead, as she likely wouldn't use much higher than 5th on what isn't the final encounter.

50% of the comments: *S Y P H A I S T H E T I T S*
Everybody cries at the end with "I'm killing my boy", but I cried the first time here.
Why? Because I'm a huge game fan, and have been hoping for an actually fantastic game-based series/movie for ages. Nothing has come as far to doing that than this show has, and experiencing this finale with the characters you care about, stakes you care about, fantastic animation and such good music really did me in on how good this is, and it actually brought me tears of joy.
Also sidenote, Sypha just rocks. A strong and likable female character without being on the nose with a female empowerment message. Instantly more effective and enjoyable when she's simply there.
I feel she was a bit obnoxious in the 3rd season, but that's just my reaction to some choices she made, and it was few and far between. Just minor things that made her seem like a bi***y girlfriend. Those reactions are biased from my own dating history, though. (I felt that Season 3 was a bit of a dialogue slog... for an animated series, at least.) Don't get me wrong, I like the whole show overall.
By Season 4, she was back to being fun, kick-ass Sypha from the first two seasons.
This is still probably the best Western video game adaptation to date. With well-crafted fan service that actually has a point, and affects the story and plot.
The folks who made it are fans, themselves, and that love shows through.
Now, after watching The Last of Us (so far,) I take back my comment about the best Western game adaptation. I still consider castlevania a triumph, and am awaiting the spin-offs and sequels.
@@guyvizard549 Watch something good instead.
@@vileluca I haven't finished the Last of Us. I played the first game. I think that's enough. (How do you make that story MORE depressing?!)
This scene was so enthralling that I didn't even notice that emptied my ball into my pants.
Sypha is so awesome...her fight scenes are always a delight, and best of all, she is really powerful too. So is it that her magic revolve around fire and ice elements? I recall her using a bit of wind magic in season 1...but fire and ice seem to be her specialty. It so happens to be Dracula goto elements in the Lord of Shadows games too.
She used wind to cushion Trevor being tossed at her by Dracula
@ZECTCustomUnit she still hasn't gone into thr Avatar state too lol
Sypha has had my respect for 30 years she is fantastic
I think she uses anima magic (all elements) in general.🤔
Cylus O'Brady not just powerful but extremely clever and adaptive with how she uses it
See, in an anime, this show would last for 30 damn seasons, have long as hell dialogue, and make each vampire general take at least a season to kill...
Castlevania? Say nothing, and get the job done! HELL YEAH!
i agree, most animes specialy shonen animes need hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of episodes (and endless filler) just to get the same level of impact in both story and characters that this series made in a very few episodes.
What type of anime have you been watching lol
One piece?
Dragon Ball?
Naruto?
Bleach?
Yeah sure but those anime are meant to be prolonged
Do it too fast and they start to catch up the manga and and making a Manga takes time
They can't wait for that since they are going to animate it which takes more time
Anime like
One punch man
Demon slayer,
Reincarnated as a slime
Etc...
Are some the anime that takes fights like 2 or less episodes to kill a boss
@@ShadrackMeduson not alot of people can wait, might make them lose interest
An example of this like Attack on titan they took too long making a new season that they lost alot of audience even though the story was great and interesting but the hype was gone
Jeez, then watch this. Don’t watch anime. No need to compare the two you knows
"I don't know anything about anime" the post.
This is by far the best anime fight scene I have seen in a very long time. It literally gave me chills when Alucard used his wolf transformation. Also Trevor’s mad whip skills and Sypha’s magic were so kinetic. Must have watched over 30 times now 🦇👻
I have to agree with you.
This anime has truly one of the best anime fight scenes. Probably my favorite.
This isn’t an anime, it’s a western cartoon.
The geisha vampire was my favorite general lol.
rannierunsfast I actually think she’s Chinese. The outfit looks more like it comes from china. Also the two dark skinned vampires are from india

Best waterbending I've seen in a long time
Rated R Avatar/Korra fight scene with her lol
FATALITY! Sub-Zero wins.
Sypha would slam dunk Korra lmao
If you think about it, Castlevania is an R rated version of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Seeing how they handled Dracula's army, along with his generals and some of Carmilla's soldiers only to struggle against the man himself.
Dracula really was a nightmare
And let's add that this Dracula is a broken man who starved himself
He is nowhere near as strong as he'd normally be yet he overpowered the Trio. A True Nightmare indeed.
Dracula only died because he wanted to. These 3 could run through everyone else but that man was an Immovable Object
0:11 I just realized that 2nd to last icicle went down into the ground, which was what she used to form a spike. I love details like that
I really thought Alucard was going to bust out his poisoned mist transformation from SotN to beat that geisha vampire.
Poison Vs. Poison,eh? Quest complete, Wind reward you "assassin blade"...whoops, wrong castlevania :p
How exactly would they even draw that? A bunch of colored fog and then a dead vampire? Boring!
@@jorgefigueroa2231 maybe they could vaguely appear like their normal forms
i liked that geisha vampire. too bad sypha got the best of her
@Drunk Squirrel, yes it is. in SotN you have 2 upgrades and one of them makes his mist form poisonous.
I adore how terrifying Sypha's magic is. The idea of her just conjuring up a razor-thin sheet of ice to slice someone apart is amazing.
I also love how Trevor's fighting style reminds me of Joseph Joestar during Part 2 where he'd ensnare Eisidisi with the hamon scarf's threads. You fight Belmont and you think he's just missing and whipping about with his chainwhip, but nah, he lays a carefully placed trap that completely ensnares you.
razor-thin sheet of ice will never work actually. it doesn't have the strength to cut anything let alone a vampire.
When Bloody Tears started playing at this scene I failed "No nut November"
Amen brother
😂😂😂☝🏻
The season's three most impressive characters for me were:
3. Dracula (as a character, in his last scenes chiefly)
2. Isaac (all around compelling)
1. Sypha. God DAMN.
I gotta say, no matter what they did in the following seasons, nothing tops this.
2:05 Sypha: mine, mine, Mine, MINE, MIIINEE!!
TFS Vegeta?
I haven't ever played much of any of the games, but I know their history and mythos, and for some reason I instantly recognized the video-game fighting music. What a icon of history.
I got the chills when they hit the Castlevania 2 daytime theme "Bloody Tears"!
Bloody Tears in the night theme. The day theme is called "Silence of Daytime".
@@helenfotopoulou5125 you're wrong check it again Blood Tears is the daytime theme outside of the villages, Silence of the Daylight is the daytime Village theme.
geisha general , sypha , alucard and trevor OMG
Sypha is so amazing. I love how she can be close range as well as use her magic skillfully while far away. And she knows how to use her skill. She’s so great, love her so much. That is how you right a strong female character
I think you meant to say "write" a female character, but your word use still works in this instance.
“right a character”
You’re write
loose the word "strong"
Tbh the way magic is done in this series I like alot.. its like bending mixed with well handsigns/gylphs Id say?
the best spellcaster i've ever seen.
Its nuts how Sypha was able to fight so incredibly well, like she used all the magic and more you were imagining a sorcerer would be able to use in this fight, very witty and quick of thought, composed and calculated too
It's weird how Konami is fucking up their actual games, but in terms of OTHER people using their properties, they're fucking nailing it. I'm so confused how this kind of stuff happens tbh
Konami doesn't give a fuck unless it's something they can use for a packinko machine, or if there's a chance to pick on Hideo Kojima. That's the difference between them and the guys behind this, they (the Netflix guys) actually care. #FucKonami
Simple, they licensed it to people who actually care. The big wigs at Konami are happy, because they get positive PR, money and brand recognition for the very much still active gambling machines, and all they had to do was sign a piece of paper allowing someone to use their IP and it probably had a clause where if the person fucked it up, Konami gets paid anyways. Win/win
Sypha is best girl. A sharp tongue, Powerful magic, and overwhelming knowledge.
She can pee in my cup anytime
Antoine Landreth I don’t know why, but she kinda reminds me of Merlin from The Seven Deadly Sins. They are both powerful mages, tough girls and have a great knowledge
@@rosaria6363 and great smiles and are friends with a immortal child who is on bad terms with their dad and a man who likes them and are related to nobility. They are also the big sisters of the groups. Merlin being the least responsible and Sypha being the most responsible. I love them both.

I totally get eating pussy is normal but this is an animated tv show about vampires and action, no need to bring in the sex into everything. Control your horny ass.

being cut in half by ice that was epic
He should have known she was commin for that ass.
Rest in pieces
That was cold.
Being sliced in half vertically from the bottom up must have been painful
The effort they put into making Trevor demonstrate demonstrate actual whip TECHNIQUE is godlike. He has an entire style for close range! He can freestyle a kick into turning the whip into bolos! This is IMMACULATE.
Trevor: I terrify them, Sypha disorients them, Alucard goes over the top and we support him.
Sypha: Yes....
*Sypha proceeds to take all the kills.
Sypha: Who supports who now?
It *is* fairly disorienting when you are bisected by a giant blade of ice.
Some inventive fight choreography in this scene loved it.
highly recommended to see this serie. amazing characters, amazing story, amazing graphics and animation, amazing music. true castlevania!!!!!
These scenes!!! LOVE a good teamwork scene!!! This scene had everybody looking awesome!!! There unity is beautiful!
And this is what a high level DnD fight is supposed to look like.
1:26 Dude the guy in the red cape is the best vampire ever. Just shows up out of left field and just PUNCHES Alucard! XD
LOL! No special attacks or slick moves, dude just floats daintily on up and is like, "HAVE AT YOU!" WHAM! Hahah!
I know this proly sounds dumb but, I found that hilarious.
Well hes a russian vampire, and we all know russians are strong and brave people
Gonna have a chuckle anytime i see this scene now cheers XD

I love this scene. If you noticed, all three can hold their own in one on one combat. However, when they team up, they're unstoppable! Sypha controlling the ice with her fingers?!? Someone on the animation team must love Yamcha from the Dragonball series as Yamcha can control ki blasts with his fingers.

Gotta love it when a Dnd party is organized
Sypha defeated 3 generals 😁
1 on her own second 1 by suprise and the 3rd 1 was team efort
And technically dealt the killing blow on Dracula.
Reminder to self: dont make any of these 3 angry
Take note don't ever underestimate Sypha. She's wit, precised & deadly talented
If they made SoTN anime, Alucard would said something to Fake trio (include Fake Sypha) like "You guys are nothing compared to real ones". ps. maybe fake duo (minus Grant Danasty ;_;)
2:16 - 2:24 I love how they act in this scene. They aren't phased. They show confidence in their abilities and parts 1 and 2 of this fight show they can quickly shape their abilities to complement each other. They are an extremely effective unit.
Sypha running at 2:06 to give him the cheese touch always makes me laugh
EVERYONE RUN SYPHA HAS THE CHEESE TOUCH
This may sound of topic, but this is everything that "The last Jedi"-throneroom battle should have been :
-An actual reason why this battle takes place
-pretty sweet opening
-Kickass music that is pleasing to the fans
-each hero gets in a decent kill count and at least 1 general caracter-kill
-some pretty sweet teamwork
bert bvdemier yeah it’s really nice too how they build up drac to be a super strong vamp and his fight actually reflects that with them being no match. Unlike some Star Wars characters, I’m looking at you snoke.
And it just so happens that Sypha, unlike Rey, is not a Mary Sue. She is immensely powerful, but she gets hurt several times and needs rescuing (Trevor saved her from the Cyclops). She is not always in the right either and both men by her side aren't degraded or humiliated in her presence. And she gets completely overmatched by Dracula and only Alucard could truly even stand a chance.
Preach it brother!
The last jedi was broken from the begining, nothing could habe fixed it
Castlevania IS NOT SW, both franchises are quite different. BTW I liked TLJ but, if you didn´t liked it it´s fine and I respect it.
When the main theme started playing I got overwhelmed with nostalgia and emotion
Soon as I heard the music started playing as the fight began, I knew what it was, and I had a smile on my face
there team work is unrivalled.
That flame burst through her hand into the last vampire's head brought me joy like no other
Sypha is seriously underrated & probably the most powerful of them all. She single handedly killed three generals, saved all their asses and even transported a bloody castle.
She’s just too powerful.
Don't oversell her; she only killed a general single-handed; the other two were a team effort where she got the killing shot.
//broke// the castle
And Dracula had easely taken her down.
She need some time for her spells and she has a normal human body.
She just need a frontlane =)
The entire Belmont bloodline got a permanent shot of magical juice from her, I'd say that's worth noting
Bear in mind that canonically, in the end, it's magic users who ultimately destroy Dracula. Not belmonts, not Alucard - Sorcerer's.
It is the most powerful tool in the Castlevania universe - a counterpoint to Dracula's own magic.
"I terrify them, Sypha disorients them, Alucard goes over the top and we support him"
Sypha: "Yes." *Proceeds to do all of the above*
Am I the only one who actually loves Cho as a character? Even tho she played a small role in all 3 seasons
I wish she never died so easily by a Stupid speaker (no hate i just don't like the way sypha is much powerfull more than vampires :/ )
@@Cmannsur yea fr, that just wasn’t right :/
@@lio5624 :( oof
Oh my god, that final blow was fucking awesome. The way she just throws the body to the side is so badass
Being a nerd of the games and recognizing most of Sypha's spells was such a good feeling.
Now imagine if this series goes into Simon’s story. His fight scenes when raiding Dracula’s castle are gonna be insane.
Sypha's smile at the end of the fight is everything
Trevor with that whip is really something else, his strategies and cleverness are something on an entirely new level. Now I know why only the Belmont Clan can use the Vampire Killer whip.
This is easily one of my favourite all time animated fight scenes. Maybe one of my favourite fight scenes, full stop.
It establishes the stakes before they even start, with the characters in a state of determined dread. They hash together a plan just before stepping in, signifying the relationship that had grown between them during the story.
Power levels and skills have already been displayed by this point. We know that the guard vampires are powerful but not at the level of the vampire rulers. The rulers display their mastery by countering many of the attacks our heroes throw at them, escalating the conflict naturally. The guards are dispatched with ease, but the vampire lords show skill, cunning and prescience in the fight.
There is a victory, yes, but it wasn't easy and it's just the beginning. The real fight hasn't even begun yet.
I love how all the characters, both the heroes and villains, display their various (very cool) skills during the fight, we get to see what each subject brings to the fray.
My favourite moment has to be the giant white wolf welding a flying sword. I mean, come on.
9/10.
The animation quality and fight scenes are just amazing!!!
I wonder how much of a difference it would have been if Godbrand and Carmilla had been there.
Good Question, I think the fight would have been harder but Alucard would have Killed Godbrad and Sypha Carmilla with help from Trevor
My prediction is that in season 3 Isaac will kill Carmilla and after that he will become to Zead (a.k.a Death)
Godbrand would've been the first to die. Carmilla would have escaped, she's too clever to fight to the death when outmatched.
Godbrand would have gotten annihilated and Carmilla would have gotten wrecked as well if she chose to fight.
Following the story of the game and manga Isaac and Hector were in, it's likely Hector will stop Isaac once
Carmilla is stopped somehow.
Even till this day, the castle battle gets me hype/pumped. The music is of course bloody tears. Both the battle and music together was done so godlike, i look at it all the time.
This just makes me want "Castlevania 1999" even more. Alucard fought alongside Julius Belmont, a shrine priest from Japan, and a currently unknown descendant of Sypha Belnades (not Yoko) in the final battle. Imagine the Dracula crisis of Transylvania here (1476) and Castlevania Bloodlines (1917), but on a world-wide scale. Wouldn't it be beyond epic seeing that with "Heart of Fire" or "Simon's Theme" playing?
i want aria of sorrow to be adapted actually imagine soma cruz being op as fuck collecting souls with alucard and julius belmont probably the 3 most op heroes in the history of caslevania
its like a comic i saw once with Alucard meeting Richter and Maria and saying "i dont know about this new idiots" then he looks at a picture of Sympha and Trevor and says "I miss my idiots". Just imaging meeting Yokko and Julius XP
I would love to see this. The incident was talked about, but never covered. The Demon Castle War was supposedly groundbreaking enough that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces were ready to send a scout unit into the castle in 2035. Granted, they all died but Hammer, but still. The governments of the world not only knew, but they were ready. It implies that if Vampires had been a secret from the general public before, they weren't, any more. That and Soma's casual reaction to it all.
woah woah woah first we need rondo of blood and symphony of the night
It would be a decendant of sypha and trevor because they end up having kids together, that is what the next castlevania series will be based on is their son
Dude...this OST is probably one of the most epic thing ove ever heard, it melds so well with the flow of the battle making it feel like they're fighting to the ryhthm of the music
I, may or may not have, got a raging hard on as soon as Bloody Tears started gently playing. My anticipation and joy were then unexpectedly satisfied by what is arguably the best anime fight I'll ever see as long as I live.😈 If you have doubts about my claim, put your minds at ease. I am right and that is fact.🤟
Its music from the game which makes it even better!
1:06 Season 3 got me to rewatch the show and look for this vampire. It is good to see that Alucard (and Sypha) absolutely wrecked her.
Minor spoilers below:
Although kind of scary that his two human pupils inflicted more damage on him than she did...
really astonishing how nobody comments that this usage of bloody tears was just spot on!
CHO NO.... why did such a beauty have to die so soon.
İkr
When I tell y’all this is one of THE BEST scenes on the castlevania series this fight was so iconic
Favorite part about all of this, is that they weeck everyones shit, then get absolutely dogged by Dracula. Like taking on his whole army mean shit to him. Really goes to show not only how powerful these three are, but also how insane Dracula is.
the ice sheet kill is my FAVORITE
Watching that one vampire dude against Sypha, watching him fight against Ice, I'm like, "lemme guess, he's gonna do that run on the top?"
And when Sypha cut him in half, I was actually like, "THANK YOU! That's what everyone should be freakin doin!"
Ok, going into season two, I was unsure if I was gonna like it as much as season 1 (despite how short it was) and I can just say... season 1 is practically garbage compared to season 2 (again keep in mind that season 1 was amazing)
This show was made with a lot of care and a lot of love. Something other video game adaptations currently lack and the knowledge that not only are we getting more of this show but also a FUCKING DEVIL MAY CRY series from the game guys... I don’t think my heart can take it.
Sypha's use of magic is SO good!
Man i love looking back and seeing how fucking hard they went with these last few episodes of s2
Friendly reminder, this was made by the same people who made Fairly Odd Parents
