Trevor and Sypha vs. Hell Demons | Castlevania Season 3

I really love how they animated slypha magic precisely on how to use element manipulation is. The way she uses magic is unlike any other magic user ever in any anime or show I’ve watched. The way she utilized her magic is phenomenal and how logically how you’ll use them . I really love it

[@couragew6260]

Fuzz Buzz Exactly. It’s acts more like how you would use a muscle. You don’t say magic words or anything. You just act. I believe this type of writing is called a soft magic system.

[@javiervasquez8995]

Her abbilities are kind of similar to the Bending arts from Nickelodeon's Avatar.

[@XonixDerps]

@@couragew6260 Maybe, I'm still new to the terms but given soft magic seem to not follow certain rules to much Idk if its usable here? It's still pretty close though since magic is barely defined in castlevania unless used with alchemy or devilforging though! So the series does go into both Soft and Hard styles to me.

[@ATalesTruth-]

Like how people in the last air bender could use their abilities but don’t for the reason they don’t seem to have creativity and if they are then why not do it like this

[@tenacityxl]

I will never, EVER get sick of seeing Trevor use his whip(s). The way they’re animated is top notch and they clearly put a lot of care into making such a major part of Castlevania look right. I’m not even going to go into everything else they got right(there’s a LOT) but I’m really glad that the people behind this show care about it as much as we, the fans new and old, do.

The 2v1 at 1:49 is interesting because at first glance it looks like Trevor's fending off their attacks, when in fact he's the one going on the offensive and the two demons are having to parry his assault.

yeah that was literally my favorite part of the episode so when i was watching it again i was like "holly shit that defense with just a whi- WAIT, hes not on the defensive, HE IS ON THE FUCKING OFFENSIVE OH MY GOD"

[@zjaeriqsanders1731]

Seriously that’s so dope. I wish more animators had the balls to have as much weapon/ fighting style variety in their characters and shows. That’s why castlevania is the perfect show to me, it made an I sure weapon such as a whip look more badass than any sword fight. This scene is probably my favorite in the whole show so far because it’s just so badass and unique.

Well, with a whip attack and defense flow together since your whole goal is keeping the adversary out of their comfortable striking range but within yours.

I love how we’re able to see Sypha improve with every battle, she gets more and more powerful and smart with how she fights. The first time we see her she’s your average mage type, still pretty impressive but nothing too flashy. Now she’s literally clowning on these demons, skating on ice like an olympic figure skater and is able to use 4 elements - which, if I remember right, Speaker magicians can rarely surpass 2 elements. I’ve watched a lot of shows, but none have done a strong female protagonist as good as Sypha, she’s absolutely fantastic.

[@dark7element]

It's really good to see them do her justice. She's one of the very earliest female action/adventure player characters in all of videogames, a mere 3 years after Samus. Pretty much every 'female magic user heroine' who came afterwards is in some sense influenced by Sypha Belnades.

This is the worst case scenario in a D&D campaign. The entire village harvested, the Boss has become 2x more powerful because of the villagers souls, the portal to Hell has been opened, and hoards of demons are pooring in, and the wizard can't roll above a six on his Arcana checks to control the portal. The only upside is that Sypha and Trevor kept rolling natural 20s against the demons. That's honestly how i viewed the last few episodes. Edit: also, pretty sure they used Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Cryonicis(?) Sound effect for one of Sypha's attack.

This show is a perfect example of how to have a strong female character who isn't annoying as heck. Sypha is super feminine, but just plain badass. Trevor holds his own very well and is very masculine. Isaac is a dope character. The LGBTQ scenes were tastefully done. If writers would write good characters for minorities no one would have any issue. We want good characters. The reason a lot of movies don't do well is cause the writing is garbage. Batwoman is an awesome character in the comics and no one cares that she's gay. The Batwoman show is trash and it has nothing to do sexual orientation.

[@nekohallowking4762]

[@Goaheadandstaymad21332]

The way they portrayed the two lesbian vampires was perfect. Personally, I find it annoying when shows or movies feel the need to constantly remind you that a character is gay as if we forgot about it and that it's important to the story. What they did here was let you know that they're together and then focus on their characters, not their sexuality. Even showing really good character development when they were sitting up on the castle talking about normal things couples talk about, to discussing plans for policing the borders.

[@drovertable]

Those people just like to play gender hate cards when it's just them making shit characters that people dont like.

[@SeraphimDragon]

Hate to burst your bubble there, but everything involving sex with Alucard and the twins was horribly forced and rushed. Alucard was suffering from loneliness, sure, but that doesn't mean he suddenly became a naive trusting idiot. Tbh, they just handled Alucard very poorly this season, and any betrayal ensuing during or after a sex moment would never require more than one sex partner. The twins were a prime example of what poor LGBT writing looks like. As for Striga and Morana, I agree the show thankfully didn't focus on them being a couple or lesbian and focused on their characters and what they bring to the table. It's just really fucking weird that instead of just putting a dude in Striga's place, they tried really hard to make her look as much of a man as possible. I'm saying that's weird because she might as well have been one, but for whatever reason, writers just didn't want that.

I absolutely adore that they took a simple aesthetic choice from the games, namely that enemies Simon kills with his whip disappear in a little flame burst, and both wove it into the lore of the world and incorporated it into the action scenes. Picture, if you will: - Should we have the monsters burst into flames in the anime? - Yeah; they do that in the games, right? Let’s stay true to the source material. - Okay, but why would they do that? - Oh, because the Belmonts use consecrated weapons whose touch is anathema to the unholy, so they get immolated when Trevor hits them. - …I like it. Ohhhh… I’ll bet we can incorporate that into the action scenes. That’d be pretty sick… - …let me show you my sketch book. Brilliant.

I like how they balanced the fight with not giving either character too much glory and giving the main character the final blow. They each killed 5 + trevor beating the boss. Trevor's 5 were more fodder and Sypha's more unique and challenging.

[@exi8550]

mages usually look super weak, but Sypha makes mages look absolutely brutal with how creative they can make their spells

[@dantemcedgelord8168]

The score in this scene is impeccable

[@whispersilk]

The music makes this fight 100x more badass, so we are now at 100x infinity.

[@Ninjaananas]

Thank you for uploading the full fight.

[@dylancarter9290]

What I find extremely interesting is that a good amount of the demons (the ones with the sets of wings in particular) base a striking resemblance to the descriptions of angels from the Bible, yet the consecrated weapons still explode them. This fits with the idea of demons being fallen angels, who became unholy through their actions, but maintained their bodies. It also fits that none of the night creatures made by Isaac look like this, since they are all human souls that have been brought back

[@darkfyre1618]

Sypha really is unique, not in terms of powers but in combat. She knows how to use her magics effectively in close combat, something you don't see very often.

[@50kekk]

The fight cherography in this is INSANE. I love it no matter how many times I rewatch this series

[@DJdevil319]

0:53 that was so fucking badass, she’s the only mage ive seen in anime that fights like this

[@Reproviss]

i love that you can see her thinking. like any mage...we know we aren't damage sponges...and the way you can see her see the environmental information and then know and enact its dominant opposite so quickly., with magic, it is really beautiful to watch...this....wow. i love this show!!!

[@arcnightlight217]

2:40 Trevor's spinning move from Curse of Darkness

[@theoneitself]

Exactly!!!

[@gerardmedina9106]

Lets all admit. The seeping darkness we get from playing Castlevania is the same chilling darkness we get from this animated adaptation. Kudos kudos for all the makers, animators, writer, and director of this show. And to all the people behind this. This is from an all-time Castlevania fan.

[@edgyboi728]

..bill nighy as saint germain is perfection...

[@ryonintaka7439]

Jason Isaac's as the judge was really good as well. I also like how their characters faces are slightly reminiscent of their own faces. It's a neat touch.

[@tailedgates9]

Bill Nigh is now in 2 productions involving vampires. I love him. ^_^

[@cannibalcatgirl]

i was so happy to see him cast this season

[@DaVideo17]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the music here. It flows so well with the action.

[@nUt_]

I like the fact how the designs from the demons show us the difference between normal night creatures and them.

[@osa236harca6]

i love how the demons have just the slightest angelic similitud sometimes but twisted to make unsettling monsters

[@albertlewis4903]

Fallen Angel

[@Jackie_Tikki_Tavi]

This segment clarified to me why I never pick wizards in RPGs: I'm not smart enough to "pull off a Sypha." Or arrogant enough because that shit is OOOOO-PEEEEEE. Love it.

[@Joekandarz]

The way they fight so smooth and clean. I'm Amazed!

[@tatiannawilliams6733]

*POWER COUPLE OF THE YEAR* *DONT TRY 2 ARGUE WITH ME*

[@tailedgates9]

Fuck yeah man. I love these 2.

[@Raccon_Detective.]

Me too.

[@jinx1987]

The designs for these demons, my god they’re amazing

[@Quet723]

That big monster was basically a boss even Trevor had to knock his hp down with how many times he had to whip him 😅

[@Sirbossman]

They both keep getting better and better. Its nice to watch them progress throughout the seasons.

[@mrgoodman3077]

Trevor's fighting style is like next LvL SHIT. the art how to use the whips ....daaammmmee

[@dimanoetske6303]

It can't be overstated how perfectly executed his fight scenes are, especially 1:49 to 1:57 .Trevor constantly spins his whip to maintain momentum while zoning the two demons in order to keep them in his effective range. When he gets the killing blow on one the momentum is lost, so he pulls the head of the whip in, gives it a quick spin and hucks it at the second demon. Flawless blend of grounded plausibility with over-the-top action.

[@okthen623]

The only experience I've had with Castlevania is these short clips but I've gotta say I love the decision to have Trevor use primarily whips and chains as his weapons rather than the standard sword or dagger. That and how creative he is in how he uses them to fight, its really cool!

[@asianboi8350]

I have a theory that the large night beast where all the murdered souls went becomes the Behemoth in Dawn of Sorrow

[@hiyoritokisada594]

But there is no Behemoth in Dawn of Sorrow. Only Gergoth. Behemoth appeared in Rondo of Blood and Portrait of Ruin.

[@hiyoritokisada594]

@Starscream91 Yup... That one fat bastard... Aria's version is the scariest IMHO.

[@dpauls15243]

Trevor: The totally normal dude who is in way the fuck over his head, but its still hanging in there

[@sadaderlangga17]

There's so many things I love about this series but my most favorite thing is probably how Sypha uses her magic. No longass chanting, not just elemental balls, and way more creative and effective ways in using these magic

[@this_is_japes7409]

0:31 demon is like "did he just fxcking do tha- oh fxck!"

[@AdAce21]

these fight scenes are so beautifully animated...

[@jwlnsilver6354]

"I'm Just a guy with a whip and a short sword I didn't ask for all this flying and magic" -A Belmont probably

[@mookiestewart3776]

I love how when Trevor is caught in between the two demons he’s actually on the OFFENSIVE!! They are the ones having to parry/guard his attacks not the other way around

[@brunoerenato521]

Travor's Ancestors: "I'm proud of you, son. Be better than us"

[@Sonic62920]

0:30 "Subtle" reference to the Throwing Axe sub weapon.

[@montyswel9633]

Gotta say, that goat demon thing using its bones as arrows is a seriously awesome concept.

[@ashuramarutempest6867]

Always thought Sypha had made the ice disk out of nothing but finally saw that she slaps her right hand on the ground ice before the Disk appears in her hand,

[@princeofdatny]

THIS is who you do a couples fight! They both held their own against the enemy and Sypha wasn’t crying for help, just pure badassness

[@pol1229]

Every Belmont ancestor looking at Trevor's choice of wife: "Nice."

[@KillerTacos54]

They went absolutely HAM in this season and god damn was the animation absolutely beautiful

[@Snapdragon2336]

2:09 - 2:22 One of the most badass things in anything I've seen ever.

[@BrendonKing]

Malachi and the nightmare sphere :p

[@israeldepedro7522]

Yeah, it's really cool how Sypha uses fire spells to keep orbiting around the sphere until she slingshots herself towards the demon.

[@shupichii9647]

"Do you have my back?" -Always. *Dodges and leaves him completely open.* x'D

[@DeathNeff]

Doctor and Nurses Fighting CoronaVirus Armies. Doctor: Nurse you have my back? Nurse: Always

[@icebearwbb]

2:12 Did anyone realize Sypha is using the gravitational singularity to land a kick against the demon? I love how the series keep saying that Magic and Science are on the same side of the coin. It is so tastefully done here!
