The massive ball of corpses is a boss from several Castlevania games known as Legion, or Granfaloon. This adaptation is absolutely incredible. 10 out of 10.
He did have the most character development for sure. I'm half convinced that if people didn't try to kill him every time he would just settle down and leave a peaceful life.
This was definitely new to me. Never seen a brainwashed horde used like THAT before in a show. I feel so sorry for those innocent people. Going from mindjacked by a crazed magician into slavery... Only to die by a night creature or fall and then be turned into a night creature and their corpse is inhabited by a soul from Hell itself.
@@Kamina.D.Fierce He's talking about the Fly demon that Isaac talked to by the fire and said was a scholar in his original life. And since there are so many corpses from the horde, at least one will probably end up back in its own body anyways
@@bradengoodman4947 possibly, but even if that happened, they will have lost their free will and be bound to serving in Issac's army as a monster, because they dont maintain their original forms.
Well Isaac's whole arc was all about confliction within one's self, for sure...even in the desert when that Greek philosopher demon was talking to him when they panned in on Isaac's face there was a hint of doubt, for sure
@@randompoet9997 And it can be assumed that the act of using Magic can be taxing, so he can only make so many in a single day, so having two Forgemasters is better than one
Hector seemed more focused on mass producing undead armies like zombie and such, meanwhile Issac made the much stronger yet obviously rarer demons. Also the fact that 2 army production lines is far better than 1
@@alexrecrem9094 Hector creates strong and stable handiwork. Blue Fangs (the night creature who killed the Bishop) and the ones who nearly overpowered Trevor in the Belmont Hold were his creations. He treats his night creatures well, does his best to return them calmly, and does what he can to repair the body before forging. He's also capable of direct necromantic resurrection, as was the case with the Bishop- returning him to life with the same powers and knowledge he originally held.
Might surprise you, but hector is actually the better of the two in the art. See Issac just pulls whatever out of hell, the soul makes the body and that usually results in more veritable and unstable forms, while Hector can CRAFT the bodies that are made, he puts a lot of love and care into his craft.
@@thecommentguy9380 nah my boy issac will do the right thing he knows the random act of kindness here and there is no trade off for the certain world wild destruction and genocide cause by the human plague. he will end it once and for all.
Fun fact: Legion, in its first phase, ALWAYS do that attack (launching corpses from the main body, into the floor) so that's actually really game-accurate. As well as disturbing
Just the way I like it But to be more serious, it's all relative - in this scenario clearly Isaac is the relative hero and this old wizard is the relative villain hence the hero won Trevor and Sypha defeated the creature, St Germain sealed the infinite corridor and reunited with his lost love = heroes won Alucard didn't really win or lose but he became a bit darker of a character and learned a bit about the world i guess Hector you could easily argue went through an overall benefit in season 3, compared to the end of season 2 for him.

It’s mention that Dracula didn’t really have an organise plan for his war cause his depression and basically wanted to kill himself and other vampires in a unorthodox manner
Probably cause they are human and can be killed as easily as one if caught off guard, so Dracual probably thought they were too valuable. Thus the castle was the safest place for them
I mean, we could all tell he had no plan. He was grieving and went mad. Insane enough to hurt his own son and decide to bring an apocalypse for both the humans and vampires.
Hector as we've seen so far hasn't shown to be a strong fighter and Issac being a good fighter is coincidental I think. Their purpose was to lead the armies and create more forces, not to fight.
Isaac is my fav character and im honestly rooting for him. I like the way he interprets his faith and relationship with God, and how he, like the demons, understand that God has abandoned humanity for their sins. The only way to save them from their sins now is to release all the souls from hell, let the doors "rattle in the wind".
That would unleash the apocalipsis, killing thousans of inocents. And God has not abandoned humanity, it's been mentioned from time to time that God actually protects people... andd grant them his grace as with that proper father from season one. Thing is, regardless of our opinions on the matter, humans are scum. Very much so. And many of such deserve the treatment they get... which seen that this is written by Elis it's not as against religion as he usually is.
Considering Isaac was my least favorite character in the entire game series, I did not expect him to be my favorite character in the anime. They took a one-dimensional, cliched villain with a lackluster design and turned him into quite possibly the most compelling character in the whole franchise. Major props to this show, the greatest game adaptation of all time.
I have never been so disappointed in my life when I saw the Isaac from the games. Boring af to look at. Not sure if godbrand was the same in the games or if he existed at all but game isaac reminded me of him with none of the charm. Thankfully the only thing this Isaac shares is his name.

I can’t believe they added legion, with such a good backstory, words fall short! This battle was amazing, two ruthless casters battling for who controls the legion, winner take all.
I love Isaac's creativity and strategic thinking! Talk about keeping calm during a crisis. Also, that legion magician may have been nuts, but he was no fool- creating a line of defense when he realized his soldiers were outmatched, corpse missiles, legion ball around the tower (realizing Isaac's strategy right away). So cool to see two intelligent, powerful sorcerers facing off for dominance!
As a die hard fan of the series since the beginning, seeing Legion appear was amazing to behold. Also, when Belnades takes on Malachi at the end. A lot of good eastereggs and references in this.
Just remember friends; The director of this wants to do a Legend of Zelda and Metroid series. Imagine... Real anime videogame series done right... Finally!
@To DEATH, Bro! Zelda can be darker then you might think. Ocarina Of Time's future, all of Majora's Mask, and Breath Of The Wild being a post apocalyptic land scape are just a few.
@@jaketheberge1970 Post-Apocalyptic doesn't equal grimdark. And in Ocarina, the Ganondorf Future takes place after he's already taken over, which is part of the reason it works so well. The most grimdark it could even get is when Ganondorf is killing the Hyruleans (the citizens of Hyrule, not the Hylean race) and that's about it.
@@kedarraman6690 Majora was meant to be depressing, not grimdark. All the deaths already happened, and you couldn't do anything about it. And ngl, if there was a "the townspeople go crazy and kill each other as the moon falls but it's fine because Link turns back time and we only put this in for obvious gratuitous gore" scene I'd probably stop watching immediately.
Same, but I feel disappointed whenever he gets mad at a few rude humans and goes back to "time to kill their entire species and open hell forever because a dozen people were mean to me." A character with such strength, loyalty, and discipline shouldn't be so devastated so easily. It frustrates me to see it.
Bro imagine being a sinner that gets summoned from the fiery pits of eternal torment itself to pursue your redemption through the will of a Forgemaster, but rather than doing anything cool you're literally just a horse.
0:30 Only person who managed to damage isaac during the whole series was that random hypnotized floating zombie dude who accidentally kicked him while isaac was charging horseback 😂😭
That concept of throwing soulless humans at high speed really left me impress in this scene! Very well animated, you can almost see there's weight to those masses of bodies
Can begin to say how much I cheered seeing this classic boss make an appearance. I remember infact fighting a version of it (it went by a different name) in Curse of Darkness itself as a out of the way boss in the one area you go into when you run into Saint Germain the first time. I saw others fight the older version of the boss too in old LPs. This makes me nostalgic and thankful the creators put this boss in.
0:40 man was perplexed he didn’t even know what was going on. You know it’s bad when even a demon from hell has to pause for a moment to figure out what the fuck is going on
When the bodies congregate together and reach towards the tower, the sound of their moaning is the exact same as the one from Aria of Sorrow when the bodies were shuffling towards the boss room.
this show does such a good job at revealing things at the same pace as the characters recognize them in the midst of chaos. you really feel like youre isaac glancing around as you ride
Let's just put it this way Isaac don't tolerate people s*** he hates backstabbers and he's not going to let somebody manipulate him for a human being he has some really big stones
I feel Isaac fighting the Granfaloon is kinda symbolic, in a way. The original definition of a Granfaloon comes from Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle (the one with the all-freezing Ice-Nine), and is used by a religion in-story to refer to a gathering of many people that is ultimately purposeless and meaningless. Isaac fights the Granfaloon while he's on a journey of finding himself after years of being Dracula's loyal Forgemaster. He's in search of belonging and purpose, after having lost his original purpose (loyalty to Dracula). As we recall, Dracula's cabal was ultimately a misguided self-destructive war plan by a broken man who had no intention to win: a granfaloon in its own right. I've seen discussions of how the nameless magician is a foil to Isaac, a magic-user who controls the flesh of helpless mortals as weapons of war. It feels very intentional to pit them against each other in an arc where Isaac is searching for himself and improving himself. Ultimately Isaac slaying the Granfaloon and the wizard in control is Isaac defeating his own worst self, purging his doubts and hangups from the past, and leaving the metaphorical granfaloon that hangs over him behind.
Same here. Would have preferred they stucked to the canon version and made "it" a Demon from Hell. It was a cool scene though so it didn't bother me that much.
That moment when you see the Wall of Flesh "Legion" The origin of Legion's design comes from a biblical account about a large number of demons who possessed a man. The New Testament outlines an encounter where Jesushealed a man from Gadara possessed by demons while traveling, in an event that came to be known as "the exorcism of the Gerasene demoniac". Thus, from the concept of being "composed of many" came the design of the shell composed of a large number of human bodies. The Symphony of the Night boss, Granfaloon, is named after a concept found in Kurt Vonnegut's 1963 science fiction novel Cat's Cradle. In the novel, a "granfalloon" is defined as a "false karass"; that is, it is a group of people who affect a shared identity or purpose, but whose mutual association is meaningless. It is a satirical reference to a group of high-minded people who share a similar belief. The group is described by Vonnegut as "a proud and meaningless association of human beings". The Granfaloon in Castlevania would be a literal representation of this ideal.
Castlevania: The only series where the guy who stabs people in the heart and has their corpse possessed by a demon, and leads a demon army with the intent of wiping out the entire human race... is one of the good guys.
Isaccs journey and character development in this series was top notch. His original stance that humans don't deserve to live and should be wiped out is subverted when vampires betray Dracula and Issac is assisted and even saved in his travels by helpful humans. Then he sees this. Someone like he was in the beginning. Using human beings as tools and pawns. Disregarding them as things, and Hector's face says it all. He feels bad for these people and wants to kill the monster responsible. He then buries these people with dignity in proper graves and repairs the city so that eventually people can repopulate it. Brilliant character writing 🖋👍
Just a random magician that Issac kills. He enslaved the town to form an army of laborers to build him a fortress or something. It's actually mentioned I believe that the towns folk can still feel pain and think and such so to them, it's an I have no Mouth, but Must Scream situation so death would be preferable to life.
I really appreciate that Isaac fights someone who's at the end of the road he's currently walking: a sad, lonely, pathetic little creep who sees other people as mere tools for him to use and discard as he sees fit. It forces him to see that he's wrong, which is always important to redemption arcs.
Isaac is my favorite character in this show, and I am rooting for him. I hope after killing all the sisters in Styria, he becomes a good person to spread wisdom and kindness to people, like the Captain said. Also, does the Magician look like Saint Germain, or am I wrong?
Isaac is in for a rude awakening when he fights the Vamps + Hector. Just sayin... now, if he teamed up with Trev Syph and Alucard then we have problems
I love how there's moments like this where even the demons look at what the characters are dealing with like "bruh what the fuck even is that?"
And you know it's bad when they seem concerned.
“We must of been on easy mode, cause what the fuck is THIS??”

Metroid would be amazing. Zelda is old and lame, I mean we already kinda got that in Lord of the Rings, sorta..
@To DEATH, Bro! Zelda can be darker then you might think. Ocarina Of Time's future, all of Majora's Mask, and Breath Of The Wild being a post apocalyptic land scape are just a few.
@@jaketheberge1970 Post-Apocalyptic doesn't equal grimdark.
And in Ocarina, the Ganondorf Future takes place after he's already taken over, which is part of the reason it works so well. The most grimdark it could even get is when Ganondorf is killing the Hyruleans (the citizens of Hyrule, not the Hylean race) and that's about it.
@@kedarraman6690 Majora was meant to be depressing, not grimdark. All the deaths already happened, and you couldn't do anything about it.
And ngl, if there was a "the townspeople go crazy and kill each other as the moon falls but it's fine because Link turns back time and we only put this in for obvious gratuitous gore" scene I'd probably stop watching immediately.
Isaac is one of my favorite characters, and he has an amazing demon army
Same, but I feel disappointed whenever he gets mad at a few rude humans and goes back to "time to kill their entire species and open hell forever because a dozen people were mean to me." A character with such strength, loyalty, and discipline shouldn't be so devastated so easily. It frustrates me to see it.
Bro imagine being a sinner that gets summoned from the fiery pits of eternal torment itself to pursue your redemption through the will of a Forgemaster, but rather than doing anything cool you're literally just a horse.
0:30 Only person who managed to damage isaac during the whole series was that random hypnotized floating zombie dude who accidentally kicked him while isaac was charging horseback 😂😭
That scene with the corpse turning into the big demon was pure joy
That was the most unique Legion interpretation I have ever seen. Good job chara-designers on this show!
That concept of throwing soulless humans at high speed really left me impress in this scene! Very well animated, you can almost see there's weight to those masses of bodies
The way they just start to float is so eerie
TF YOU ON ABOUT THAT SHIT WAS FUNNY AS HELLL ☠️
Really interesting way to bring Granfalloon/Legion into the series.
Love this reference so much. I felt goosebumps when I realized it was a reference to Legion. Just love how the netflix show is its own thing.
1:33
How lucky was Isaac to get Eren Yeager yeeted at him of all people :U
Can begin to say how much I cheered seeing this classic boss make an appearance. I remember infact fighting a version of it (it went by a different name) in Curse of Darkness itself as a out of the way boss in the one area you go into when you run into Saint Germain the first time. I saw others fight the older version of the boss too in old LPs. This makes me nostalgic and thankful the creators put this boss in.
0:40 man was perplexed he didn’t even know what was going on. You know it’s bad when even a demon from hell has to pause for a moment to figure out what the fuck is going on
The fact that Legion got added into this so smoothly makes this incredible
When the bodies congregate together and reach towards the tower, the sound of their moaning is the exact same as the one from Aria of Sorrow when the bodies were shuffling towards the boss room.
Isaac is so Cool.
He's my favorite.
this show does such a good job at revealing things at the same pace as the characters recognize them in the midst of chaos. you really feel like youre isaac glancing around as you ride
Let's just put it this way Isaac don't tolerate people s*** he hates backstabbers and he's not going to let somebody manipulate him for a human being he has some really big stones
Damn even Isaac was surprised by that level of gore.
Even Isaac got impressed by how powerful and crazy this magician is
I FREAKING LOVE HOW BEAUTIFULLY THEY SHOWED THIS MOB OFF!
If this is how powerful Forgemasters are in their craft, I can't imagine what kind of army Hector will build for Camilla.
he needed his hammer first sadly
I feel Isaac fighting the Granfaloon is kinda symbolic, in a way. The original definition of a Granfaloon comes from Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle (the one with the all-freezing Ice-Nine), and is used by a religion in-story to refer to a gathering of many people that is ultimately purposeless and meaningless.
Isaac fights the Granfaloon while he's on a journey of finding himself after years of being Dracula's loyal Forgemaster. He's in search of belonging and purpose, after having lost his original purpose (loyalty to Dracula). As we recall, Dracula's cabal was ultimately a misguided self-destructive war plan by a broken man who had no intention to win: a granfaloon in its own right.
I've seen discussions of how the nameless magician is a foil to Isaac, a magic-user who controls the flesh of helpless mortals as weapons of war. It feels very intentional to pit them against each other in an arc where Isaac is searching for himself and improving himself.
Ultimately Isaac slaying the Granfaloon and the wizard in control is Isaac defeating his own worst self, purging his doubts and hangups from the past, and leaving the metaphorical granfaloon that hangs over him behind.
Game: Hector = Cool, Isaac = Tool
Netflix: reversed
So this is what a Boss vs Boss fight is like.
Not the kind of Legion I expected but ok, I can go with this.
Same here. Would have preferred they stucked to the canon version and made "it" a Demon from Hell. It was a cool scene though so it didn't bother me that much.
To be fair, it could stil return as a demon, now that Magician is dead and most likely in Hell
@@filipvadas7602 Oh Shit if Isaac decides to revive the magician as a demon, the warudo is fucked
@@javiervasquez8995
Maybe Isaac will turn the wizard into the real Legion.
@@Ninjaananas
True becuase legion is actually a demon who surrounds itself with corpses as shields.
This scene was great and all but it was Isaac's conversation with Fly Eyes that made him the TRUE MVP of the show
Castlevania game players: oh wow it’s legion
Netflix only watchers: what’s legion?
True
Me: The scariest Boss in the Castlevania series on a conceptual and symbolic level.
1:07 that face right there Issac: “the fuck..?!” That is 100% what hes thinking, and hes a guy who can turn corpses into demons.
That moment when you see the Wall of Flesh "Legion"
The origin of Legion's design comes from a biblical account about a large number of demons who possessed a man. The New Testament outlines an encounter where Jesushealed a man from Gadara possessed by demons while traveling, in an event that came to be known as "the exorcism of the Gerasene demoniac". Thus, from the concept of being "composed of many" came the design of the shell composed of a large number of human bodies.
The Symphony of the Night boss, Granfaloon, is named after a concept found in Kurt Vonnegut's 1963 science fiction novel Cat's Cradle. In the novel, a "granfalloon" is defined as a "false karass"; that is, it is a group of people who affect a shared identity or purpose, but whose mutual association is meaningless. It is a satirical reference to a group of high-minded people who share a similar belief. The group is described by Vonnegut as "a proud and meaningless association of human beings". The Granfaloon in Castlevania would be a literal representation of this ideal.
13th Evergreen Instead of one man controlled by many it’s many controlled by one man.
Excellent scene. One of the most intriguing bosses in Castlevania in my opinion and I'm glad they worked it into this series.
It’s always good when they get a game adaptation right.
I didn't even think about this being the representation of legion , but damn that's such a good way to show it.
Gotta love this show just for how it works its magic.
Me trying to get away from my friends in creative while I’m in survival
Castlevania: The only series where the guy who stabs people in the heart and has their corpse possessed by a demon, and leads a demon army with the intent of wiping out the entire human race... is one of the good guys.
Isaccs journey and character development in this series was top notch. His original stance that humans don't deserve to live and should be wiped out is subverted when vampires betray Dracula and Issac is assisted and even saved in his travels by helpful humans. Then he sees this. Someone like he was in the beginning. Using human beings as tools and pawns. Disregarding them as things, and Hector's face says it all. He feels bad for these people and wants to kill the monster responsible. He then buries these people with dignity in proper graves and repairs the city so that eventually people can repopulate it. Brilliant character writing 🖋👍
Who is this magician btw?
He’s controlling the townsfolk with virtual crowns of thorns?
Just a random magician that Issac kills. He enslaved the town to form an army of laborers to build him a fortress or something. It's actually mentioned I believe that the towns folk can still feel pain and think and such so to them, it's an I have no Mouth, but Must Scream situation so death would be preferable to life.
If you like theories, the wizard bears a striking resemblance to Saint Germain
@@Omnicras have you watched the show ? St. Germain is literally presented at the beginning of the first episode.
He's technically Legion's Core-- but not a literal core.
JBeja M Well, he is a time traveller after all.
1:05
Isaac: Ok even for me that's fucked up
Oh yeah! I forgot Isaac is suppose to be the villain
In retrospect a demon horse with horns pointing toward the rider instead of forward is a bad idea
THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD
So, basically forgemasters are essentially unstoppable.
This version of legion was DOPE.
Isaac And Sypha had the most creative fight scenes this season.
Hell, maybe even this year so far lol. XD
Can't wait to see Isaac vs Trevor
I love how a lot of night creatures’ attributes seem randomized, but they can also manifest as anything a forgemaster needs them to be
Isaac: Path of the King
Alucard: Path of the Lonely
Trevor: Path of the Dark
Hector: Path of the SIMP
I really appreciate that Isaac fights someone who's at the end of the road he's currently walking: a sad, lonely, pathetic little creep who sees other people as mere tools for him to use and discard as he sees fit. It forces him to see that he's wrong, which is always important to redemption arcs.
isaac has been listing too much gloryhammer
watching this on the family TV hoping this shows up when someone walks in instead of Hector or Alucard
The best character alongside Trevor,hats down.
Meanwhile Alucard is having a good time...until it turns into a bad time
Isaac is my favorite character in this show, and I am rooting for him. I hope after killing all the sisters in Styria, he becomes a good person to spread wisdom and kindness to people, like the Captain said. Also, does the Magician look like Saint Germain, or am I wrong?
Hasan YELOK that would be the biggest change of his character. SPOILER AHEAD:
He’s the one to bring Dracula back to life.
Saint Germain is someone else whom you can see in the series.
Isaac is in for a rude awakening when he fights the Vamps + Hector. Just sayin... now, if he teamed up with Trev Syph and Alucard then we have problems
Isaac is the secret protagonist of Castlevania
Can't call it legion. There's not a laser shooting tentacle monster underneath all of them.
So about time Issac realized that killing bad evil tyrants is better than killing everyone in general.
Mom can we have legion?
No, we have legión at home
Mom, I love your home cooking!
Funny how despite knowing Isaac fully intention, I am still routing for him!
0:02 red rover red rover send Isaac right over!
He took that projectile like a champ 1:16
