Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow - Soma VS Julius Belmont (Hard Mode).

[@kyriellepunongbayan6909]

the whole castle trembles at julius' might... Leon must be so proud in the afterlife

[@THOR--l_l]

attention to detail the castle colaps during the divine cross

[@elpirataretro8734]

*Grand Cross

[@sdlock83]

The move was originally called "Maximum Cross" in Symphony of the Night.

Grand cross not Divine cross

[@AnakinSkywakka]

2:31 the music was so well timed with the grand cross.

Shame every other bit of audio was fucked six ways from Sunday Gets annoying seeing the characters attack and only hearing their shouts at least a second AFTER they finish their swing

For Real, how can you justify letting the Might of Jesus burst out of you as "holding back“? 😅

That moment you realize you’re Dracula, when you see Julius Belmont confronting you.

I love how Julius keep his promise to Soma in Dawn of Sorrow when he is turning in Dark Lord in bad ending

[@Gemini_Hero]

He also keeps his promise in this game (Aria of Sorrow) if you lose the fight against Chaos at the end! Definitely a man of his word

[@laurentiusmcmxcv]

@@Gemini_Hero He's the only one who can stop Soma ... This goes beyond a promise or duty

[@chancemitchell4147]

Lol, Julius said: “I’m trusting you. Don’t make me take my belt off!”

[@zephyr8072]

If you're not launching 3 fireballs at a Belmont, you're doing it wrong.

[@timothygrayson5065]

The battle that we will never see animated

[@SinisterPixel]

We might! Looks like they're skipping straight to Ritcher for the next season of Castlevania, so we're skipping MOST of the Belmont's. If the show lasts long enough to get a renewal after Ritcher's arc, the only Belmont left is Julius. It's a long shot since they'll probably use Ritcher to end the show, but you never know!

[@orangelimesky]

Well if they're gonna show all the castlevania plots that includes Alucard, and looks like they're going that direction, they're definitely gonna show Soma and Julius.

[@blara2401]

Very nice sense of drama to have gone in with the Flame Demon/Giant Bat/Succubus set up, as well as full Dark equipement. Black Panther makes this fight so much more enjoyable though.

[@Chris-gx1ei]

For real, Julius is in his fifties and a Boy in his early Adulthood fails to outrun him without that 😂

[@SteelRims]

Julius is so powerful that Konami decided that YOU play as Dracula in this fight/game. 😂

[@chronorwcm9614]

Ahhh the memories, I remember playing this game for the first time and when Julius came out after entering the boss room I was like "Oh shit" and then the dialogue went on and I thought "Well maybe he's here to warn me about the coming danger" and when he said "Prepare to die" I went "Oh fuck..." Battling against him using dark-type armor and a low level can be a nightmare. One of the most enjoyable fight against a Belmont I had at the time, and the music made the battle feel exhilarating to play.

[@laurentiusmcmxcv]

You sir, played the fight the correct way Using the full dark equipment does give you an extreme weakness to Holy attacks huh ? Interesting

[@Foxhound3857]

He just hits like a truck in general, even at Level 81. It’s on Hard Mode.

[@AaronDarkus]

Not really. Equipment doesn't affects Soma's attribute status. Only the weapons affect the attribute. Soma is like a character that doesn't has an attribute. Julius, from the other side of the coin, is programmed to be a "holy type boss". This means that holy attacks are pretty not so effective against him, but dark attacks are his main weakness. Problem with Julius is that he is also programmed to be resistant TO ALMOST EVERY OTHER ATTRIBUTE, so the only viable way to produce damage against him is with dark attacks. Mostly what causes that Julius is a force to be reckoned by is that his high level and stats pack a punch, also that he spams a lot of attack in screens, so is hard to move around.

[@ryanprower4246]

@@AaronDarkus This is false. Julius resists Holy attribute and everything else affects him normally.

[@Chris-gx1ei]

​@@ryanprower4246 Define "effecting normally" for someone like Julius 😅😅😅😅

[@Chris-gx1ei]

​@@ryanprower4246 Edit: Julius has indeed other Tolerances, like Poison, animal/beast and petrification, he has no weakness however, the Darkness Based weapons are simply hard hitting in general, you can simply do the same with the Dragon Slayer Arsenal, they too deal more damage to him than Glaimh Solais simply because Big J is tolerant to Holy which is not an Attribute the Dragon Slayer Swords have.

[@ArmoredarmadilloX]

[@cosmicreaper2023]

Wonder how this fight would go when Netflix animates Soma's arc

[@adriantepes4355]

They wouldn't be able to make a proper one . The creator doesn't even know anything about the story after all.

[@funkydovahkiincat8176]

​@@adriantepes4355 I agree, all the credit for any fidelity in that series goes to the animators only.​

[@adriantepes4355]

@@funkydovahkiincat8176 lol we all know how dangerous Dracula is but seeing Alucard not being able to body all the vampire generals felt kinda awkward. Also lets not forget that Trevor in the games nearly destroyed Hector with low effort when they faced each other even though Hector was stated to be as strong as Death himself. In the animation though...idk what to say

[@S1EEPLES5]

Well in the Netflix Castlevania series Dracula doesn't die and becomes a good guy.

[@AzumarillConGafasBv]

Curious. Does that big divine cross move insta kill? Or just do enough damage to Kill Soma with one attack if caught in?

Holding back, far from his prime, first actual battle for 36 years... Prime Julius going all out would destroy Soma in one minute, even without his Grand Cross

@@Oscarus4250 and on top of that he was probably in his 50s

​@@averageearthling55 y/o, to be exact. Which means that, when he finished Dracula off in 1999, he was only 19, when he was definitely in his prime.

Both were holding back, if Julius still in his prime. Julius wouldn't hold back and obliterated Soma

Soma was holding back too, so. Soma is literally the most broken Character in fiction, i bet he no diffs Kratos because Soma is literally immune to existence erasure and to poison, petrification, curse, any time manipulation etc.
