Castlevania: Nocturne 1x5 | Reaction & Review (UNCUT)

Dee was cracking me up this whole episode 😂 also Meesh brought up a great point about Richter being much younger and less experienced than Trevor which I think a lot of people (including myself) forget their first time watching nocturne. An example of this that I noticed is the difference in how trevor and Richter think of themselves as Belmonts. Trevor had a better understanding of the bigger purpose of his family, saying that "finding things and recognizing things is what we do" and that the belmonts fought monsters, not just vampires. So far richter has only said that he kills vampires - nothing else. He didn't even know what a night creature was until now. In the original series Trevor is someone who goes from wandering drunk to remembering and regaining his true identity as a Belmont while nocturne seems to be about richter overcoming his trauma and learning that there is more to being a Belmont than just killing vampires. I love Castlevania because its not your typical action packed anime but rather a deep dive of all these different character arcs and thorough examination into why people do the things they do. Literally everyone in the original series (except Carmilla lol) is slightly or greatly different by the end of the series than when we first meet them. Since there’s no blatant exposition fed to you you kinda have to really think about each person’s dialogue and actions to figure out their true intentions, which I find fun. I think I’m most excited to see Olrox’s story unfold because I find him the most fascinating. Anyway sorry for rambling, been loving your reactions!

Castlevania and Castlevania Nocturne are like 300 or 400 years apart. Juste Belmont is arguably one of the Top 3 Strongest Belmonts in the Line he's magic potential was so strong he barely needed the Whip.
