[@awesomepawesome8957]

I like the subtle respect in the fight though between both Julia and Olrox here. Julia may be a part of the Belmont bloodline, but she shows no sign of arrogance when facing Olrox because she knows he's not an average vampire to slay. As for Olrox, he not only allows Richter to live because it was only his mother he was after, but you can see he steps over Julia's body instead of on it as he leaves, which to me implies he found her to still be a very formidable opponent.

[@SKD_TRASH_at_Blazblue]

Respect is 1 of the keys.

[@Alacaelum]

Him stepping over her is both a sign a "respect" and dismissal, he hates her for killing someone important to him but has no illusion that their confrontation is a one sided affair, he know Richter will come for him and he respect the act of vengeance. It is a subtle but deep characterization, it made clear that he is a deliberate hunter, not a beastial bumpkin vampire, he respects his quarry as much as he hates them.

His mother was a total badass. Unfortunately this fell in the oldest situation in the book... the kid stayed too long, if Richter had gone to the boat I think she could won, that must eat him up inside. The Belmont really are the ultimate vampire hunters, even the top of the top vampires have problems fighting them. But man... seeing Julia actively using magic in her fight style is AMAZING, if things keep like this this series will be AWESOME.

[@swordarmstudios6052]

They did a good job showcasing mystical elements from very under-represented cultures. Both African and Aztec mythology are represented in the series. And bonus points for not hitting you over the head with it. They let you appreciate the emotional and cultural contours of those religions, but not expo-dump a billion things on you not relevant to the story. That's a hard balance to strike when people have seen every asian or western mythology represented on screen ( where you can just show a cross or a Katana and we get it ). We haven't really been exposed to the others at all but we can at least get a sense of what they are about.

[@hbb5613]

@@swordarmstudios6052 exactly I'm Mexican and I felt really flattered by the representation portrayed through Olrox, even subtle details like the obsidian blade are so accurate in the drawing aspect, and relating the fact that prehispanic gods were a sort of vampires since according to the myths they needed blood to survive it was just a brilliant display of creativity from the writers.

[@muhammadnasirabdulrazaq5946]

The reason Trevor was so good as a vampire hunter was because he didn't usually have anyone to protect during a fight, the only times he did were in season 1 and even in that time, sypha had to help, then in the final season when he fought raatko and he almost lost that fight too, vampire hunting is best done when the only ones you're worrying about during the fight can take care of themselves

[@TLACY606]

True, but vampires could pop up at ANY TIME. It’s not like they could say “hey can you wait a minute, I have my kid with me, and couldn’t find a babysitter. Thanks.” Especially strong vampires. It’s time to fight, it’s time to fight.

This clearly shows why Richter was the strongest of all the Belmont clan, this event will mold him in the powerhouse he will become in the future.

[@Yeen66]

​@@HAL_-sg1upactually Richter is kinda low tier in terms of strength/belmonting

[@blackmario1117]

The strongest is Julius because he finally killed Dracula!

[@EternalRoman]

@@blackmario1117 Exactly, said so by Alucard himself. In fact the strength of a Belmont is measured by their descendants since Leon, as Trevor was stronger, then Christopher, Soleil, Simon, Juste, then Richter and finally Julius. It is officially said that since Leon, each of his descendants grew stronger than their predecessor. Heck, Simon could be considered stronger because he defeated Dracula without Magic and did it twice, the 2nd time with a debilitating curse. But here's the catch, with each resurrection, Dracula also was resurrected stronger than before, so Julius at 18yrs old, eliminated, not beat, KILLED Dracula ultimately at his strongest.

[@adrianvaldez9141]

I love how the bead of sweat runs down Julias face before the fight starts! Which to me shows she knows firsthand how extremely powerful Olrox is.

I think she knows about Olrox's power, since she most likely fought him before, but she was a little nervous since Richter was there. She seemed pretty confident in the fight.

Correct me if I'm wrong cuz I'm not a castlevania expert or anything but I believe Belmonts had magic before Sypha. If I'm recalling correctly, the Belmonts sealed the door to their hold with magic, and sypha had to use an enchantment to open it in season 2

[@ryankwon8785]

I love how Olrox wanted to give the young Richter a fighting chance to one day take revenge properly as a strong warrior. Olrox is so interesting I wonder what his role will be in the Vampire Messiah campaign during the French Revolution. He seems to be a different type of Vampire who genuinely differentiates between his food and enemies: Olrox treated Julia as a worthy opponent, not food. Olrox is a definition of a Vampire with standards and a code of conduct. It is likely Olrox waited long enough for Julia to prepare Richter's safe passage to France before killing his enemy and giving Richter the fire he needs to continue the Belmont legacy. In addition, Olrox steps on Julia's blood but not her body, showing he only hates Julia for being part of the Belmont lineage but not the woman herself. Nevertheless, he respects the Belmonts and the fire in them.

[@user-rl2rw3tp6s]

That’s because he knows if Ritcher wasn’t there this fight could have gone ever way. Plus the Belmont have fought powerful creatures of the night

[@OtakuJuanma2]

I think all that Olrox wanted is for Richter to suffer the same loss he suffered, or otherwise perpetuate a sick cycle of vengance. We got to remember vampires in the castlevania universe are inherently evil, there's no goog guy vampires, and the only one who is, is half human (No, Dracula doesn't count as a good guy, his definition of grief and coping is killing all life on Earth)

In the end, Olrox just leaves Richert and waits for him by becoming a vampire killer

[@adriangeorge9197]

Studio Powerhouse has done a bang-up job of replicating Ayami Kojima's Gothic tapestry that has always been the series's artistic foundry in which it has consecrated itself as a cultural classic of the gaming medium and never more so as an illustrative iconography of her life's work.

[@olafbaran4363]

[@ryanquick07]

Love how the choreography for Belmont includes magic now as well as physical combat, almost like ATLA. Also exciting to see a boss monster a la Castlevania games; I expected Carmilla to go into her in-game final form in og series

[@henrykary1236]

But how? Carmila in this series is dead from four season Castlevania. I don't know is Castlevania universe have rebirth or any rise from the dead because I didn't know games on whom based all Netflix series. But in games Dracula always rebirth or he is undying?

As an animator myself, I am excited for this!🥰😍

[@nojikotangerinelady]

What the heck happened to the live stream I was on the third episode ‼️💀

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

At least we dispelled those rumors that Richter was going to be Trevor and Sypha's son in this continuity.

[@frizen9328]

Those rumors should have been gone since the first teaser trailer. Olrox literally says that was his mom in like the first 10 seconds of it. Not to mention they showed guns and that it's during the French Revolution.

[@valeriewinter6217]

Those rumours could have been spread only by uneducated gremlins lol The architecture and the clothing should have told everything obviously. You take one glance at Richter's clothes and you *know* things are happening 300 years later lol

[@ryanschmidt3913]

The article that mentioned that got corrected pretty quickly. Also, Nocturne was always reported to take place during the French Revolution, and the original series took place in 1476, so those "rumors" were pretty much dead on arrival.

[@Yntsire]

“In 250 years, do you know how many vampire hunters have promised to cut me in two?” 1783-250 = 1533. The first series took place in 1476. Oh you sweet summer vampire, you’ve never seen a traumatized Belmont before, have you?

He just taunting them, probably most of the other hunters weren’t Belmonts.

[@a.hassanhale3326]

You mean olrox spared the kid because the kid because plot armour exists? Yeah the writing isn't the same with this one

[@hidan407]

​@@a.hassanhale3326Tbh based on him talking about his past, Spoiler: Olrox only killed Julia out of revenge for her killing his lover. If she never did that, he wouldnt have hunted her down. Him sparing richter makes sense cause richter didnt wrong him. Yeah it leaves a potential enemy down the road but if we got revenge in someone who wronged us, would we honestly harm their children knowing they had nothing to do with it.

[@a.hassanhale3326]

@@hidan407 I can't say much because I watched the first episode and chose to not continue watching. I'd say that a merciless killer would have to logically get everyone out of the picture. Especially when it's a Belmont who could pose a threat because he will be an obstacle later on. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt; perhaps Olrox does have an ethical code to abide by. Even if he's a villain. Again, I don't know is he is a villain. Didn't really watch the show.
