[@TheLeaderboard]

We done goofed.

[@Ash90]

@@KyanbuXM There was no curse. Jonathan Morris couldn't use the whip because he wasn't a Belmont and the weapon is tied to the Belmont bloodline. Jonathan had to use the Lecardes family's magic in order to face the whips memory - the last person who wielded the weapon, Richter Belmont. Eric Lecarde even states that John Morris (Protagonist of Castlevania Bloodlines) went through the same process. John Morris still cant use the whip because the weapon doesn't belong to him and the Twin Lecardes who helped Jonathan told him that overusing it will drain him of life. John died because he overused the Vampire Killer.

[@evyevolution7509]

AleousMajor In Potrait of Ruin, Eric Lecarde mentions that prophecies said that in 1999, the Belmonts will have a final battle with Dracula. Thus, Richter vowed that the Belmonts won’t use the whip until that year. So, Richter gave the Morris Clan the whip.

Fun fact! Charlotte Aulin, The witch that helped Jonathan, is theorised to help in the final battle in 1999, She would have been in her 70's at the time, so its entirely possible she was a magical grandma kicking Dracula's minions alongside Julius and Alucard.

[@vergilante4702]

Well unfortunately, Charlotte wasn't there. According to the game called "Castlevania Grimore of souls" Alucard says he didn't recognized her since that year. Because of her old age, she can't join the battle unless she gives her power to the newer generation of Belnades before the war.

[@forickgrimaldus8301]

[@1Bkjack]

The relationship between the Belnades and the Belmonts is very straight forward, Bernhard (as in Walter Bernhard), Belnades (as in every Belnades throughout the timeline) and Fernandez (yes Fernandez, if you wanna put Castlevania64 in the time line) are the same familly the difference is how it was translated from the Japanese. They are all decendants of Walter Bernhard the evil vampire who turned Sara, Lion's betrothed, into a night creture allowing the creation of the vapire killer. Some time later, Trevor the great son (more or less) of Leon have a son with Silpha Belnades (Descendant of Walter) And then the Belmonts and the Belnades intertwined (if you know what I mean). So Simon is actually Simon Belmont Belnades, and then a couple of hundreds of years later, when Richter meets Maria they are actually blood related, they are cousins on some degree, they are even related to Dracula's soul if you take under account that the soul that Mathias stole using the crimson stone, was the soul of the First Belnades.

[@sebastian_manuells]

The best example of a Belmont showing his Belnades lineage as well is Juste. Dude gets magical tomes & casts awesome spells. Some people say that his blue aura signals his Belnades roots. However, I'm really surprised by the way his name was pronounced in this video. I had been pronouncing it Jus-tay.

The more side branches the Belmonts have the more it seems that they... got around... Also the Belnades are apparently meant to be Trevor's descendants as well but some took the Belmont name and others the Belnades name. Or at least thats what I remember right now.

[@CoyoteXLI]

I mean we are talking about hundreds and hundreds of years here. As long as someone along the line had more than one kid there's going to be side branches of the family tree that aren't in the line of vampire killer succession.

I think Richter handed over the vampire killer to the Morris family because of a prophecy stating the Belmont’s must wait until Dracula’s resurrection in 1999 in order to truly defeat him. Something like that, I’m probably missing details.

Man, I do prefer the new design of the Castlevania characters to the old ones. Especially Isaac.

[@m.muradbasic4186]

I do have to say i like Lord of Shadows‘ Belmont treeline (and Dracula‘s origin story in that matter) more than the original one. For one, Dracula is actually far more epic than the original and his connection to the Belmonts is actually far deeper than „he is the former friend of a Belmont who turned Evil“. *Gabriel Belmont* is the first Belmont you follow who tries to defeat the forces of Evil. He is also „God‘s chosen one“. After defeating *Satan* (yep, *THE* Satan) he then ventured to the Chaos Realm (if i remember correctly) and from there became *Dracula,* prince of Darkness. So the first Belmont that managed to defeat the greatest Evil became then the main Antagonist of the series. And thr *coolest* part is, Gabriel is technically still God‘s chosen one, meaning that he can also withstand the power of light and Holy Weapons. In fact, the only way Dracula was „defeated“ was when the Holy Cross Whip was rammed into his heart and left there. If the cross is being removed, his Body will regenerate, meaning that Dracula is pretty much immortal. Gabriel‘s son is *Trevor Belmont.* He was given the Quest to kill Gabriel after he became the Lord of Darkness with the same weapon Gabriel used to kill Satan. Yet, in the battle, Trevor was killed by Dracula. But in the final moments, Dracula found out Trevor is his son. So in a desperate actuon to keep his son Alive, he turned him into a Vampire too. Dracula‘s son, *Alucard.* After Trevor failed and turned into Alucard, the world thought every hope was lost as Dracula‘s power rise more and more. Skip many years later and Trevor‘s son became a strong and adult warrior. His name, *Simon Belmont.* Simon, just like his father, took the holy Cross Whip and marched on to defeat Dracula. And with the help of Alucard, he became the first Belmont that managed to defeat Dracula, making the Belmonts a true Monster Hunting name. Simon also never knew Dracula (Gabriel) and Alucard (Trevor) are his Father and Grandfather. He thought both just died.

[@ziqi92]

“We can only guess as to why.” 13:02 I don’t know why everyone misses this. It’s literally spelled out in Order of Ecclesia and Portrait of Ruin. The Belmonts went into hiding and gave up the Vampire Killer because Richter’s incident in Symphony of the Night proved that the Belmonts were now mentally vulnerable to the evil they fight. Thus, they needed the next two hundred years to recover quietly in order to prepare for the final showdown in 1999. If one of Dracula’s minions could corrupt a Belmont into doing their bidding, then humanity would stand no chance against Dracula.

i thought it was explained that the reason the whip was handed to the morris family was because of richters curse he tained the belmont blood. Once Johnathan cleansed the curse from richter thats when they were able to return the whip to the main family.
