*St Germain shows up* "Ah, Hell yeah. I love this guy!" *Five minutes later* "Oh, Hell no. Someone stop him! Don't trust him, Alucard."

Saint Germain ⛱️ slapping a vampire never ceases to amuse me. It's like if someone punched Cthulhu.

[@VampTwinkie]

The balls to slap anyone taller than me would never cross my mind xD and a vampire no less

[@noahrobin1941]

For me, that moment @2:32 where Alucard pulls off the night creature’s head has echos of Belmont dealing with a night creature on 3x01 @6:15. :) Ellis once wrote a brief article on story writing in which he said: “Identify a character in your idea. 1) What does that character WANT? 2) What does that character need to do to GET what they want? 3) What are they prepared to DO to get what they want?” Here is we start seeing that really play out for Saint Germain.

[@jontaehall2740]

It's actually really good writing, because it doesn't feel contrived for the sake of getting the desired outcome. We already know that Saint Germain is willing to put on any hat he needs to get what he wants. For example: how he takes on whatever role a king or nobleman wants simply for food and a place to sleep, or how he lied his way into the priory to look for the infinite corridor. It is interesting to see it show how someone's morals can be pushed, and cause them to do things they wouldn't do if placed in a situation where they have no other options.

[@noahrobin1941]

Since you mention it, St Germaine’s shift does bug me a little…but the portrayals of characters moving from seemingly normal behavior to….well, “not” almost always does, because it almost always seems too sudden to me. I would have preferred a slower burn for his character; something which showed (or at least explained) how he got to where he was. I agree that it’s interesting to see how far someone’s morals can be pushed, I just think that to make the pushing of morals believable, it should be done slowly, over time. And if “slowly over time” isn’t necessary because the person’s morals are already highly questionable, then I think you need to show the character in somewhat close to the next step. As you say, we’d seen his morals were a little questionable, but nothing close to /this/ questionable IMO. It’s a heckuva shift in hat-wearing to go from conning people a little to trepanning them with a wrong end of a hammer. Not that there’s a /right/ end of a hammer with which to get trepanned. :)

Ayyy Saints Germain is back.

appreciate yalll watching this

It’s a great show 😀

[@zac0918]

guys should do fullmetal alchemist brotherhood

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Have had a few requests for that and it’s a shorter anime so for sure on our request list just not sure when we will start it 🤗

[@popularopinion1]

[@J-Puppy]

Not brotherhood, but the 2002 adaptation of the manga.

[@MrToastyTank]

BTW there is a conspiracy theory about the historical figure known as Count de Saint-Germain, and its kinda neat IMO. The Count de Saint-Germain, a name which simply translates to the "Count of St. Germaine," he's said to be an Immortal rumored to be even older then Jesus; The Count de Saint-Germain, according to witness accounts, is a Caucasian man of handsome appearance who appears to be around 45 years of age regardless of the date of his sighting. Being Caucasian, he has normal beige skin, green eyes, and brown salt-and-pepper hair. He stands at around 5 foot 7 inches tall. His current age is believed to sit at 2,154 years old, having supposedly been born around 130 BC. The Count is one of history's greatest and most skilled Alchemists with an intensive understanding of Alchemy, language, history, and culture. He was known by many of the most famous figures of European history, including Casanova, Madame de Pompadour, Voltaire, King Louis XV, Catherine the Great, Anton Mesmer and others. The Count de Saint-Germain has been involved in almost all major Magical organizations since his birth and is still alive as of the modern day so they say. Its a super neat conspiracy theory IMO.

[@AlexisTheDragon]

A conspiracy theory is a theory that there is some kind of conspiracy going on, that powerful people are trying to achieve some kind of agenda. A theory having reasonable evidence to back it up. There is a lot of historical evidence of st germaines existence, and no one is really pushing it or not pushing it, so it's not really a conspiracy theory. Just a strange quirk of history.

[@saltyk9869]

Wasn't he supposedly cursed at the crucifixion according to legend? The exact wording being something like he would be the last to enter Heaven/Hell during the Apocalypse.

[@MrToastyTank]

Ya there's a lot of theories about him, this is just the info I had gathered with a couple of friends hanging out looking into conspiracy theories for a Halloween event a few years back. @@saltyk9869

[@darknessunknown4384]

@@saltyk9869 You're thinking of the wandering Jew. I'm pretty sure that he was a different person.

[@saltyk9869]

@@darknessunknown4384 No, I know that at least some sources think St Germain is the Wandering Jew. I'm not read up on all the various legends, so maybe some claim they are different people. The Why Files did a video on St Germain and they specifically claim he is the Wandering Jew in the video.

[@darknessunknown4384]

In yet another ironic role reversal, Saint Germain has now taken on Isaac's role from Curse of Darkness. And...(spoiler) His conversation with Varney is especially ironic, if you've played the game.

[@v.emiltheii-nd.8094]

3 more episodes until my favorite part.

[@v.emiltheii-nd.8094]

5 hours late but still watching

[@v.emiltheii-nd.8094]

Saint Germain going through all the moods.

[@darknessunknown4384]

2:03 -2:07 While these night creatures are original, they look very similar to the space pirates, from the Metroid games (especially the Metroid Prime games); I wonder if that was intentional? 2:53-2:57 And we see Alucard using his shield, for the first time. In Symphony of the NIght, Alucard was able to equip various shields to block attacks, and this particular shield is the Alucard Shield; the best one in the game. What Hector found at the end of the Infinite Corridor, in Curse of Darkness, was a room with heads displayed on shelves, and a large Dullahan (a headless swordsmen, with the souls of its victims embedded on its sword and shield). It sounds off topic but, trust me, it's more relevant than you think. When I first saw the alchemist, I had an immediate suspicion about her. Obviously, I won't say what that suspicion was, or whether or not I was right, just yet.

[@danielramsey6141]

It would be intentional since Metroid was the First Game to Create “The Metroid”-Style Map and how you had to Navigate it from One Location to a Another through Study, Upgrades, and marking down what you could and Can’t do in a given Area. That and the fact that Castlevania was really inspired by this Gameplay in order to EVolve from its Linear Gameplay structure so it could focus on more Narrative gameplay without losing its Horror Roots.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Nothing is free. The fact that she was so willing to give something of value makes us very suspicious 🤔

[@v.emiltheii-nd.8094]

Oh this is Grant Danasty's show interpretation... confused her with the other girl. Oops!

Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Castlevania!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

St. Germain = best character

I still think they Should Finish Sword Art Online Abridged.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

We did but had to do it on Patreon because we got a copyright strike here on KZbin. You can see them all for just a $1 ☹️😭

[@PalePrince-gx1zy]

Original Saint Germain is a one whole Time Lord vibe with additional "I just reverse time and rewind all our boss battle into beginning as long as I like" thing... Still good guy and awesome Big Game Player in original game series. Perhaps he was too british for the show... As well as Isaac was too white and ginger heared for Netflix...

[@christianclark9494]

hope yall do Made in Abyss sometime! you'll have pleeenty to discuss, it's short, and wholesome

When will the One Piece Live Action Reactions come to KZbin?

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

As soon as this is over. It’ll be on Mondays 😅

[@darknessunknown4384]

Greta is what we could've gotten, if Grant had been included in the show. The name of her village, Danesti, even sounds similar to Grant's last name, Danasty. If the show's creators had said that this was their interpretation of Grant, I would've been fine with it. But, on the other hand, given how poorly a lot of the character changes in Nocturne were handled, perhaps it's for the best that this wasn't Grant...

[@danielramsey6141]

Bruh! Stop hating on Nocturne! Castlevania Nocturne is Great! And it needs to Continue! People who only hate, ruin the Good Things in Life! Or have you forgotten that we lost out Great Netflix shows before?
