Also note the physics for Sypha returning from stone. When her shoulder is flesh again her outstretched stone arm falls down. When her neck returns her stone head and hood fall backwards.
@@itsuyukke9110 Nah, Simon is in the 1690s. The anime takes place in 1476. Sure eventually the line leads to Simon, but it's a few generations of Belmonts before that badass. At least 3 mentioned in the official game story line between Trevor and Simon.
@@mikeshinwa3398 She wasn't defeated by Dracula, she was injured. She was (functionally) defeated by the golem, had she not been fortunate enough to have Trevor come looking for her.
@@moggyjohnny3381 You've probably already searched it up, but in case you didn't or if someone else here in the comment section also has that question, Berserk is a manga set in a dark fantasy medieval world where, if you don't get killed by diseases, corrupt nobles or war, you'll be brutally massacrated by demons or creatures from another world, and as a protagonist we have Guts, who tries to struggle his way out of all this. Be advised though that it's a really dark story that contains lots of gore and heavy themes, such as rape, so if you are sensitive to that kind of thing, don't read it. There's also some animes and movies, but the most recent one got a shitty CGI adaptation, so that's why OP wanted the animators from Castlevania to animate Berserk.
@@moggyjohnny3381 If you want to do research on the animes, be sure to look for "Berserk 1997" which is 6 volumes and easily the best voice cast/animation style combination. The 3-volume quasi-cgi "Arc" series is so compact it's essentially an abridgment, however it does have some pretty well-done action sequences and uses most of the same stellar voice cast. The newest one which is done by funimation, well... let's all just pretend it didnt happen.
I love the parallel: S1: Trevor holds Sypha in his arms as they meet for the first time S4: Sypha holds Trevor in her arms as we see them interact one last time.
@Steven DelValle, AHAHHAHAH. What a way to introduce a new character into the show. 'Throw up' and then they make Alucard the vampire 'Sleeping Beauty'.
"Bitch, I literally kicked a short sword in midair into the damn thing's eye! What were you doing!? Auditioning to become the latest craze in birdbath styles!?!!!"
Well, if she got petrified while her mouth was open, all kinds of dirt, dust, and bugs would have crawled into her open mouth and into her stomach, not to mention if the food already in her stomach didn't petrify with her, it would most definitely have turned rotten. So naturally, she'd need to throw up immediately.
Not to mention, she was trapped in her own petrified body as an oversized monster feeds on her terror, the last thing she would’ve felt before getting hit with that laser beam. Add in despair if she kept her mind the entire time, the feeling being borne out of fear that she’d be trapped down there forever until she’s driven to insanity in a vegetative body with absolutely nothing else: no way to hear, to breathe, see, smell, feel, or taste. Yeah. She definitely needed to puke that one out.
That was a sweet (and horridous at the same time) explanation but I doubt it was the case. Everything that is organic turns rock solid when beamed. Look at Trevor's cape
This moment sold me on Trevor and Castlevania. First time we actually see how competent he is after getting beaten in the tavern. Oh boy the animation too
Considering he just drunkenly stumbles outside yelling insults at them, it's pretty clearly implied that he wrecked them all. Granted, since the last shot of the actual fight is him probably getting hit with a chair, it's not crazy to think it was close. But it seems like the whole point of that fight was to show how terrifyingly competent he is even whilst piss drunk and out of practice
To be fair he was drunk and although he doesn’t admit it the Belmonts protect people and even those inside the tavern that we’re hitting him we’re not going to be murdered by Trevor. It’s not a bar fight murder, have some class.

That was a stone cold move from a stone cold fox. Will they have a rocky relationship? She's got such a hard, granite stare for someone so statuesque. Oh well, I shouldn't throw stones, I guess. If I were her after all, I would've been petrified.
Not really kind... In S2, it is revealed that after delivering the warning, Dracula was throwing a tantrum, saying that it will take one year to assemble the creatures he needed for his plans.
@@johnzkeePW Well, he can just left them without warning and then suddenly purge them a year later. Maybe he just want to divide between them, who is smart enough to leave, and the rest (85% evil - 15% kind)
Most people at the time were 1) entirely uninvolved in the church and protesting would have ended with them also being burned at the stake, and 2) financially unable to travel outside of their home town, much less a whole goddamned country, and that's if the church itself wasn't explicitly barring them from "giving in to the devil" by fleeing from Dracula. So, understandable from a surface level, still very much murdering a fuckton of innocents in an elaborate attempt at suicide and taking everyone else with him.
@@Superdarkcloud666 Because we got hit with the curveball that this version of Castlevania had Dracula become a very weird anti hero but is still the evil prince of darkness who is also Gods chosen one who is also a fucking belmont himself? 😶😶😶 Honestly him being Dracula was pretty cool at first but then looking at the Original version, its weird.
I love the way Trevor moves, he doesn't just run, he dips and dodges around while moving from cover to cover in an erratic pattern as you would to make a harder target.
If you look at how he moves here, it's erratic but also perfectly timed. He doesn't move any faster than he needs to, despite the danger he is in. It perfectly captures how "loose" and "lazy" he is, from a personality standpoint. He does the bare minimum without exerting too much effort, and when he doubts himself he ends up with his cape cliped by the cyclops' beam.
Not to mention he's spent who knows how many years as a semi-retired and excommunicated bum. Going from place to place, getting drunk and sleeping in barns. He was probably rusty from his last non-human fight, and even then, he might have never seen a cyclops face to face. They're probably pretty rare creatures.
The blade would have to go in your leg in a sharp angle, I think more likely you'll just get bruises or broken leg, or it will richchet from your leg and hit your face
I see myself kicking the blade only for my naturally terrible accuracy to kick in, and instead of the cyclops' eye I instead fucking impale my head with the sword.
Can we talk about the fact that Trevor lost his family when he was like thirteen so even before he finished puberty he was already a fully trained badass?
@@jamesvanitas Animation wise really good. He-Man I’ve heard some bad things though haven’t seen it. Seis Manos is like watching an old king fu action movie but in Mexico, which is cool. Blood of Zeus was pretty and had some cool moments. Story wise most where okay but animation wise they were all brilliant
Rewatching this and in hindsight, while Alucard and Sypha are framed as the educated ones, the fact that Trevor just continuously can recognize ALL THE SHIT on sight implies that he was a pretty studious kid. It’s implied that the Belmonts and their hold were razed to the ground while he was young, so he probably didn’t actually get the full education. The fun thing is that you can see that in his fighting style, which is a lot wilder and dirty (think Goblin Slayer methodology lol) compared to Alucard’s very clearly formal training. And yet, Trevor can recognize a rather huge variety of architecture, machinery, various weapons (along with backstory), monsters, etc. And after all this time too. I just don’t think the Belmont’s thing being to recognize things quite covers the way Trevor has such an active working knowledge to identify and deal with all this crap. 😂
This shows why a council of strong vampires were scared on the mention of one single belmont. Trevor never completed his training and all but still was able to kick ass. Makes you wonder what a family of fully trained were able to do. No wonder Belmonts are like the boogeyman for the night creatures.
"How good am I? Well, I'm just a human that solo'd a demon with an eye that can turn stuff to stone. By throwing a knife in that eye. A knife that I had cut him a bit by wrapping my whip around that knife. Oh and I kicked that knife into the demon's eye mid-air after jumping off a petrified girl."
@arnold jayeola Probably one of the more important, however, as his relationship with Sypha is what probably gave his descendants a larger affinity with magic.
As an animator student, I seriously cannot stopwatch this scene how it's brilliant and smooth (especially in fight part). In nowadays it's really rare to find good quality animation (in this category)
the crazy thing is, looking back, sypha definitely could have beaten the cyclops. she probably got caught off guard not having a family bestiary to reference, but after knowing what she can do, i wonder how the fight would have gone... otherwise...
I think she may have been petrified because she wasn’t as skilled of a magician at the time as she becomes later in the show. The cyclops may also be resistant to magic, which may be why Trevor didn’t even try to use his whip
Next death battle. Geralt of Rivia vs Trevor Belmont. Both are master monster hunters/slayers. Both have fought vampires multiple times. Both have superb weapons skills. Both are excellent fighters. Both have a vast knowledge of curses and the monsters they hunt. Both have dealt with vampire leaders. Both have a vampire as a friend. Both have a sorceress as a love interest. Both are hated by most of the civilian population. And both have been beaten up in bar fights. Make it happen!
@@riastradh doesnt he get killed by some dude with a pitchfork? And a Belmont at his prime is supposed to be able to take on Dracula 1v1, so I dont think it would be that easy of a fight lol
Christian Sanchez a teen with a pitchfork. And that was after he was older, had his femur broken and was surrounded by a massive mob of people. A Witcher in his prime can move and fight faster than the eye can see, be a literal blur
bold of you to assume Trevor and Geralt would fight to the death instead of going out for drinks, drunkenly fighting off an entire bar's worth of angry people, and then sharing monster hunting tips with each other.
So after Trevor gets through wrastling around with his 1 eyed Cyclops, Sypha reawakens from her Bukake induced petrification, only to realize that she couldn’t swallow, what she already chewed.
I love how they basically say fuck the laying in my arms while gaze into your eyes after I saved you cliche and Sypha turns around and blows chunks. And they later on become arguably the best couple in the series. This is true romance.
Trevor Belmont. Hungover, out of practice, running off a bit of dried goat and little else. Solos a giant cyclops. There's a reason vampires fear the name _Belmont._
I think Castlevania has the perfect example of a character that’s basically trained all his life for a specific thing and because of his years out of practice, he’s not even completely sure he could have actually won.
Would love to see more boss battles like this with Trever fighting iconic monsters in a lair and gaining a relic or something. They way the story built up to this moment is so good
Sypha is a glass canon. She can bring the pain, but any solid hit sends her tumbling. She's also not anywhere near as agile as Trevor is. The Cyclops got the drop on her, and it's doubtful her elemental magic would have been able to stop the beam.
@@luminozero I say it's also an example of being gifted but hindered by inexperince. Sypha went looking for the 'sleeping hero' while she expected physical traps she didn't expect actual monsters. That and it was most likely her first fight, whereas Trevor knew what he was dealing with, and planned just as quick. Surviving the encounter (and seeing things detoriate even futher) has made her adapt and improve since, which shows her growth as a character.
Because she wasn't that good yet. When the demons attack the town, she didn't have as much proficiency as does at the end, she made a couple ice walls and spikes, and thats it, vs soloing several vampire generals
@@thotslayer9493 in terms of raw power yea she is likely better the Trevor. But Trevor has generations worth of knowledge and training beaten into him giving him the skills to compete with monsters that hit well above normal human level.
Choreography of animations is always such a cool thing. I had to watch this video again to see that the sculpture begins to fall because Belmont jumped off of it.
The fight choreograph and the sequencing was just so amazing for this series and I don't think anything's ever going to be able to top it if they ever try to make a live-action movie and if they do try to make a live-action movie or series and if it's not going to top these fight scenes I don't think it'll make it
All the others were dead already anyway, Trevor explains afterwards that the cyclops was “feeding” off them so I’m guessing if that happens long enough you truly die and that was why only she turned back.
Had he not saved her from falling she would have broke and crumble to pieces and then her flesh woulda been sprawled on the floor... *BUT TREVORS A CLASSY GUY!!* 😋
2:25 How after all this time I'm just noticing now that Trevor climbed on Sypha while she was petrified and that was what she was refering too, damn it
Hot-blooded & Half-German Do tell me, how exactly do you cut off your own head *and* your own leg in the split seconds before the cyclops’s gaze takes you for granite?
Hot-blooded & Half-German And this happens just as the cyclops’s eye beam strikes him and petrifies him. One assumes the process is slow enough for his arms to slump to the side?
Impossible to become this skilled within a human lifetime. In our current time, anyway. Trevor must've had tens of thousands of fights to be able to do this. Probably why he drinks.
