Dude was just overwhelmed with grief. Not that it justifies it of course, but it does give some perspective. Too blinded by grief to actually realize the scale of what he was doing until the moment when everything click. If anything, that was a pretty decent portrayal of someone going off the deep end.

Bruh, what I love about Sypha the most is that, what she's doing, is something that you'd THINK mages anywhere would be able to do. But for some reason, mages are always depicted as having long robes that inhibit movement, that stand in one place casting magic, and shit. Like, bruh, if magic did exist like that, you'd have so many mages who would be fit as fuck, learning to cast mid combat, while moving around, and whatnot, and how to use magic in close combat, so they're not useless at anything that's not mid range or long range.

[@blank6896]

Yeah it's really refreshing to have a mage like Sypha doing shit like this fr cause I've always wondered the same Most of those type of mages get taken out pretty easily too

[@ACSMEX]

@@blank6896 In the beggining she kinda that type of classic mage, tho. That's probably why she could not take down that cyclops or whatever that turned her into stone. In season 1 / 2 we see hints of Trevor training her in 1vs1 combat, also we see how every fight she became more and more skilled. There was a nice progression they gave her in the show.

[@auqanova]

i mean, her method takes a lot of skill, that standing and casting doesnt need. someone else just making ice shields and shooting lightning bolts could easily live their whole life without being harmed or threatened. syphas honestly beyond overkill, because her basic magic is enough for anybody who doesnt plan on taking on 40 highly skilled vampires/night creatures at once. i think youd end up with a lot more people like the old dude isaac killed, someone who you need an army to get close to, and then when you are close, he can still one shot you if you arent also a prodigy. i reckon most mages probably mostly fight humans who have no magic, with the occasional other mage. besides even alucard says rule one of fighting vampires is to never get close. hell you could just do the sypha ice elevator for a few meters and then any human without a bow or magic is rendered worthless. syphas probably the equivalent of a tank crewmember who has a gift for swordfighting, like yeah its cool, and helpful if youre ever in that situation, but if you do your job right that never happens. but sypha is also so much more fun to watch than any conventional mage, and thats what really counts.

First of all, did anyone else notice the crescent moon over the castle? That is a direct reference to the games, when you make the final approach to Dracula's quarters. Aside from the absolutely insane animation and the epic battles, the thing about this episode that sticks out for me, is seeing just how far Trevor has come since his first appearance. When we first met Trevor, he was a drunken drifter, extremely jaded with other people, due to the excommunication and persecution of his family. Despite this, he was still unable to walk away from those in need. Here, in this episode, after many battles, Trevor fully embraces his destiny and fulfilled his duty as a Belmont.

[@frizen9328]

@@grunt9950 Season 2 designs were changed because Perriot was doing the animation and thats when everyone noticed the quality decline. Mir came back the 2nd half of season 2 and brought Korra back to its former quality. Also simpler designs means more animation friendly. Castlevania is very much animated like an anime, when nothing important is happening (mainly fight scenes) characters barely move if at all, that is not something Korra falls into they don't compromise on animation. Yes Castlevania has amazing and detailed artwork but it is too detailed and not animation friendly which is why even when stuff starts moving for a fight a lot of the fights are on 3's and even 4's. Castlevania sacrifices animation for its art a lot of the time. I can't recall any point in Korra aside from the first half of s2 where I thought wow this looks choppy or yeesh that could have used a few more inbetweens. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying Korra doesn't have some stuff on 3's or that animation on 3's or 4's is bad, a lot of it is amazing and there's plenty in Castlevania that's on 2's and 1's aswell but if we're talking about pure animation production Korra wins overall.

i love how genuinely excited you guys got! :)

[@filipvadas7602]

The coolest part is there were TONS of hints to Varney's identity 1.The collar of his coat is shaped like a scythe 2. He is the only character with dots for eyes, whereas everyone else's are super detailed 3. He brags about being the scourge of London before it was London. Which, once you actually look it up, would make him way older then even Dracula 4. Characters constantly comment on how much he stinks. Like a corpse you might say...

This episode right here is the netflix's best work anime-wise!🔥🔥👑

The animation was fire this episode, the best man. The ending broke me 😭 I'm over here not Travor got me crying just think about it sometimes. Season 4 10/10.

[@lazyliam7402]

What I love about the magic use in this is Sypha isn't a typical mage throwing fireballs from a distance. She is wielding magic in melee range creating blades and shields. It's so damn inventive!

[@coreydaprince]

One of the best shows I’ve ever watched

[@snoopy2092]

One of thee best episodes and animation I've ever seen, SSS tier right here

[@alittlebirdi]

Dubbing in Lupa's scream over Death at 16:16 fucking killed me xD

[@bricky7081]

Dawg that shit had me screaming 😂😭😂

[@SolidSnake240]

Most if not all the enemies they fight throughout the series are actual enemies and boss fights from the games. This show is the perfect blend of fan service while still standing out from the source material.

[@Faction.Paradox]

You know your team is OP when you have two people that can make Trevor look less impressive by comparison

[@JayJayM57]

I don't know about that. He got to shine a lot. For example, he was the only to switch targets when all 3 where losing.

[@ozairchishti1264]

@@JayJayM57 Yeah people are sleeping on Trevor hardcore. He's less flashy than the others cuz he doesn't have outright magical abilities but dude puts in work whenever he fights. Takes a lot of skill and determination to go around bodying demons and vampires with just your fists and a couple of weapons as a relatively normal human the way he does. He actually became my favorite character to watch during fights cuz of how creative his kills get without the use of magic.

[@JayJayM57]

@@ozairchishti1264 personally I think all 3 characters complement each other. Cypher is a glass cannon. A lot of power but fragile body. Alucard is a rounded power house. He possess an arsenal of abilities, with super speed and strength. But he has been shown to have tunnel vision and lack in the power department compared to other heavy hitters( like Cypher and other vampires). Trevor being human without powers. He is more aware of everything. This included an extensive education on the supernatural and the environment around him. His training allows him to keep up and beat stronger opponents. And unlike Cypher he is built to take a hit and he carries an arsenal of magical weapons and armor.

Friendly reminder that this show has ZERO Emmy nominations for animation. Not just zero wins, ZERO NOMINATIONS. Make! It! Make! Sense!

[@Midnight7970]

I freaking love this show! It's a masterpiece 😌👌🏾.

[@xenohusky5979]

The part where the trio jumps through the fire and fight in the castle entrance was the perfect scene to play Vampire Killer, and I was really sad when it didn't play it since it's basically the main theme of the franchise.

[@Silvist]

I think some of the items he picked up are tributes to the subweapons. You have like holy water, holy cross (which i think is the 4 sided blade boomerang), and the dagger. Yea this was super lit 🔥

[@FlashyDolphin]

Something I noticed while watching the reaction from early in the season. They hinted at death on the first episode with a statue, the part where the people were about to sacrifice the woman and children . Trevor and Sypha briefly spoke about it too

[@TheSatanicSock]

The first thing Alucard thinks of when seeing Belmont again is to insult him lmfao

[@rohanwilliams239]

Just wait the best insult is yet to come

[@NuLL_007]

Cuz they are the homies bro 🤣

[@Lctl10]

No such thing among *TRUE FRIENDS*. Insult is the best form of acknowledging one another :D

[@The_Immortal_DJ]

Was waiting this particular reaction for the longest 👏🏾👏🏾🔥

[@intothefrayyo]

A well done masterpiece for the ages!

[@fstorm2]

I’ve been waiting for this since they started the first episode of the first season.

[@bryanmclendonjr9942]

I’ve been waiting desperately for you three to watch the fights in this episode. Pure God tier gold. 😭 Beautiful.

[@coldheart5791]

Best reaction guys, thank u for this! you made my day, I forgot how epic this ep was.

[@danherondraws]

eesh, still get goosebumps watching this episode again. I'm glad you all enjoyed it!

[@HomeBodyMous]

Literally have been waiting for yall to get to his episode for 2-3 weeks now, happy I could see yall reactions.

[@eristhanewood]

I could not wait you guys to get to this episode especially that fight against death was on a whole other level of animation and cinematography

[@slandracon3853]

I have been CRAVING their reaction to Death/the Dagger. I WAS NOT DISSATISFIED

[@dungeonmaster16]

14:00 this ep got alot of references fans know from the games with that scene is how they do alot of cover/promo art of castlevania games with a belmont/alucard weapons out and facing the place they are heading into with showing monsters/bosses they will face. plus music playing here is a more epic version of the bloody tears song you heard back in s2 when they first got into draculas castle and fought the vampire soldiers/lords. and in end when trevor builds up flames thats the iconic flame whip from castlevania 2 which is the strongest weapon/attack players can get to dish out damage.

[@LightofJoshua]

Ive been waiting for this episode reaction for so long!

"I am Trevor Belmont of House Belmont, and dying has never frightened me."

Omg! We waited for this episode the whole time and god it was soooo worth the wait!!!!!!

[@ChaosSkyX3]

Yes, Finally!!!! I was waiting to see y'all react to this one. Animation was OP

[@alfier750]

I been waiting for Lupa to react to that sidestep since you guys started the series… did not disappoint 😂

The show literally went out with a bang.

This is by far one of the best reactions, thanks for this!

[@antonio5959]

Trevor learned well: " Leon: "I have the power to destroy all related to the vampires. Though you have divine powers, you are no exception." Death: "Unfortunately for you, as long as my master survives, I will rise from the dead..." Leon: "I see. Give him this message: You have become a cursed being and I will never forgive you. This whip and my kinsmen will destroy you someday. From this day on, the Belmont Clan will hunt the night."

Now, the episode we’ve all been waiting for
