Castlevania Family Tree Explained! (Belmont Family) | The Leaderboard 

“Ugh, another Belmont. I hate these guys.” - Dracula

*Belmonts kill dracula* Dracula: *revives* Belmonts: *HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN*

Belmonts: hold my whip Morris: ok Belmonts: thanks for holding it Morris: no problem

wife: dies Husband: Becomes immortal to spite god your man would never

I just realized that the Belmonts and Joestars are really similar

RIP Dracula, Konami managed to do what no Belmont ever could.

Fans: Protect Alucard! He's too precious! Producers during season 3: *lol you hear something*

Belmonts Bizarre Adventure: Ecclesia Crusaders.

Alucard is like an outsider of the family he deserves to be a part of the belmont family

"Simon Belmont, born in 1669. *tongue click NOICE"

I just can't stop thinking about how alucard might've felt when he awoke from his 300 year sleep. Was he lonely or depressed now that his friends have lived on and passed away and that he's the only one left or perhaps maybe exhausted and sick of the same cycle going on and on and on about killing his father whom he once held dear. Like wtf?

*Sees thumbnail* Ah, yes, Julius Belmont, son of Leon and Richter Belmont.

Dracula: Can I take over the world?! Pretty pwees? Belmonts: "no." *BANISHMENT!*

I swear *Christopher Belmont* doesn't get enough attention & love. He was the FIRST Belmont to kick Dracula's ass twice! 😎

why do people even bother ressurecting dracula at this point? guy never accomplished anything

Soma: Is something wrong, Genya? Genya/Alucard: This kid is my father .-.

I may be confused, but wasn’t the Vampire Killer given to the Morris family due to a curse preventing Richter, and all future Belmont’s, from wielding it?

Leon: "Now I can see my wife...." Belmonts: *Puts his soul into the whip*

Joestar: so vampires Belmont: yeah i know

I actually met a woman in Virginia a few years ago who claimed to be of the Tepes bloodline. She schooled me on the history of her family. She said Tepes and my eyes lit up. I looked at my friend who had no idea what that name meant. I listened to her for a good 2+ hours. Very interesting but I kind of wish I'd bump into her again. Hopefully there's a Belmont still around you know just in case.

Me: woah, Alucard is just Dracula backwards

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.

Lisa: Hi- Townsfolk: *WITCH!* Sypha, an actual witch: Hi. Townsfolk: *does nothing*

Legend say that dracula had a distant cousin with special needs who likes to count that lives in a village called Sesame.

You know Igarashi recently said he's open to making the missing Castlevania game (the Demon Castle War with Julius Belmont), but Konami has to let him do it... But we all know that's never going to happen... :( *SOBS FOREVER IN BLOODY TEARS*

To me, Juste looks like he's the offspring from Alucard instead.

Belmont: "alright....We staked him, sprayed him with holy water, exploded his castle and sewed the ground with salt. Do you think hell come...." Alucard: "just go make a child and start training him... he always comes back dude."

I wish Bloodstained gets so successful. Successful enough that Igarashi has enough cash to buy the Castlevania license from Konami and continue the storyline...but one can only dream.

With Dracula all I can think of is that Spongebob scene: How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man!

They did my boy Hector dirty in the anime lol.

Really wish castlevania franchise would get a remaster

Dracula: "I have returned!" Belmonts: "Just another day at the office..."

I wanted a tree, a simple basic tree, was that so hard?

"Mina, Julius, Alucard and Yoko~~" Me: YOU FORGOT HAMMER!!!!!!!

Corporate Needs you to tell us the difference between these pictures Picture 1: Dracula Picture 2: Soma Cruz Simon Belmont: they’re the same picture

"It was your fathers, they called it a light sa... the vampire killer, a elegant weapon for a more elegant time" Next Belmont: "so I just started whipping everything that moved"

So Julius was born in 1980, which means by the time of this video in reality, he'd be 39 years old. Interesting...

We got a new Contra coming...Now we need Castlevania: War of 1999.

"Your greatest gift to me... and i'm killing him."

When u just watched Netflix’s castlevania and wondering WTF?!

*New Belmont borns* *Dracula backs from dead* Let me introduce myself

In a way the Belmont and Belnades clan are distantly related right due to Trevor and Sypha getting married

"He meets up with Ronaldo Gandalfi" Ah yes, the Football Wizard, one of Hell's Biggest Nightmares!!

You left out Order of Ecclesia and the village of Belmont descendants.

5:37 This is partially incorrect. Hector did not fight against Dracula in 'the war' after he defected. He went into hiding.

"1669........ n i c e" I like this guy

Since the netflix series has revitalized interest in the franchise I think a remake of the classic platformers would be cool. Maybe like a 3ed person adventure game?

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.

Who's your favorite Belmont? What Family Tree do you think we should explore next? Let us know in the comments below!

Julius might not have been able to defeat Dario, but it was mentioned in the game he was able to slay all the other monsters he fought against without the use of using a seal. Soma mentions doing so should've been impossible.

The Belmont are like the Joestar of video games

I have faith that Konami will let us down.

Belmont: *kills Dracula* Dracula: now hold on

I liked the story where Alucard and Sonia Belmonts have kids & all the Belmonts you play latter in game are great(x) grand kids killing their grand daddy Dracula. .

Tbh, I like Gabriel Belmont lineage too (Castlevania reboot). His tragic descent is just as fitting to earn Dracula The Dragon title.

The possible, plausible speculation on why Richter gave up the legendary whip was that he cursed both his and any part of the Belmont blood line from ever touching the Vampire Killer (without it now causing harm to the wielder), via him being cursed by Shaft to act as the lord of Dracula's castle that Alucard and Maria discovered in SOTN.

Me: **Sees thumbnail** _Wait a minute._

Order of Ecclesia's town people in Wygol Village are Belmont Descendants. It's why they were kidnapped

I didn't know the story of Curse of Darkness, so it's neat to see how tightly it fits with the Netflix show.

Ricther Belmont and Trevor Belmont are my favorite characters.

Soma is Mathias Cronqvist reincarnated,Mina is Elizabetha and Julius is Leon. At least this time Darkness was contained and the soul of a innocent wasn't tortured.

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.

Aria of sorrow is too dope one of my favorite castlevania

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.

While I was watching this i just got a notification that Man at Arms Reforged is coming back..their first new project? Alucard's sword from the Castlevania Netflix series..talk about timing!

Can we have timestamps for each Belmont, please? Edit: I am thinking of making one right now - including their birth years...be right back. (I also included the Morris', as well.) @0:49 Leon Belmont (Born: 1072) @3:56 Trevor Belmont (Born: 1456) @6:52 Christopher Belmont (Born: unknown; 16th century) @7:42 Soleiyu Belmont (Born: 1576) @8:25 Simon Belmont (Born: 1669) @9:46 Juste Belmont (Born: 1730) @10:55 Richter Belmont (Born: 1773) @13:27 The Morris Era @13:41 Quincy Morris (Born: unknown) @13:52 John Morris (Born: December 12, 1895) @14:35 Jonathan Morris (Born: 1926) @15:14 Julius Belmont (Born: 1980)

Anyone here after the Netflix Series to figure out which Belmont is whom

"Simon Belmont, born 1669.... NIIIIIICE"

“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.

Belmont Family: *exist* Soma Cruz: *_ok boomers_*

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

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.

I wish they would make an anime for the leon belmont arc... loved that game in ps2

I remember reading somewhere that actually Julius never married and never got an heir, due to being to young when fighting Drácula and being trapped in the castle all those years, Julius might actually be the last Belmont

Just played Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Was the most fun I had with a Castlevania like in a long time. It even had a secret level hidden behind 2 secret walls that beckons back the classic’s

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.

This was very interesting. It got me fully caught up on the Belmont family and Castlevania in general.

Every vampire is gangsta till they hear the name Belmont

I don’t know why but I keep watching this multiple times

The only Leaderboard Castlevania video that doesn't suck. To be fair it would be very hard to fuck this up but still, good job!

Great job, well thought out and put together video!

I don't know if it's nostalgia for me or not, but Richter is still my favorite Belmont.

considering the new trailer. This video has helped a lot..4 years later

What about the part where Simon had to get 3 bonus icons to appear on the reels to enter bonus mode then fill the screen with his own face to get the jackpot.... in order to defeat dracula

Pro tip: use the Pie on motherfucking Whip Memory Richter, he's hard otherwise.

really cool video,dude! i played (and i am a fan of CV since ) the first CV on NES 1991 when i was 11 years old.nice to see the family tree made really good like you did 👍

Dracula- revives* Belmonts- And who said you could do that without our permission?

With Grimoire of Souls released it has shed some light on some questions in the main timeline on why Richter gave the Vampire killer whip to the Morris family and many more

Julius’ fight with Soma actually happens after Soma kills Graham and is recognised as the true heir to Dracula’s power

Castlevania Nocturne just dropped Baby!

4 years later Richter Belmont is getting his own sequel series

Richter 's reason for his disappearance. Richter: I don't wanna keep fighting monsters anymore....Momma i'm tired.

I'm really digging the modern day~ish Castlevania entries

Great explanation! Great job, Mario. Hope to see you in future videos!

That was the best telling of the Belmont timeline ive ever seen.

I wish we have a full-on, very clear detailed pedigree of the entire Belmont genealogy; including the related families (Hakuba, etc.).

Did the math, it's about 4.8 generations between Leon and Trevor. [EDIT:] That means that his parents *COULD* be Gabriel and Marie Belmont.

Perfection incarnate, excellent video

Thank you for making this video.

12:03 Just an error: It's Symphony Of The Night, not Rondo Of Blood,
