It really got me thinking though whatever God is any good parent wants there child to surpass them. Death has a purpose a fundamental function in reality but we don't we are possibilty made flesh capable of reaching into heaven as easily as hell.
@@twiddydinks7938and he’s super old compared to literally everyone which makes it more hilarious. 🤣 like an old man screaming at neighborhood kids to get off his lawn. 😂😂😂
@@BonesMalon3 Im guessing someone hasnt seen the whole anime or just wasnt paying attention If that was Death himself. Trevor would have not been able to stand close to him since everything near Death himself would die and decay
Seeing how Death in the Castlevania game franchise has always served Dracula, this confession of Death in the tv series that Dracula was in fact a means by which he was able to feed upon contless victims puts their entire relationship into question...
I wonder how modern day titles of the series would have him think about this? He seeks death on scales never before imagined. Well, if the early half of the 20th century doesn't fit that, nothing short of actual WWIII during the later half would've.
Death only serves Dracula because he is the conduit of Chaos into the human realm. Chaos gave birth to Death and controls all existence. That's far more interesting than a parasite leeching off of another parasite in an endless cycle of pointless hunger, which is essentially what this garbage final season reduced all vampires to.
@@Loser-jh3tq I very much do enjoy the show, the writing simply deteriorated over time. It's a shame the quality didn't remain consistent but had it tapped more into the game lore, it probably would have.
I figure that after a few 1,000 years of existing, you just eventually drop the act and speak to everyone with the same level of irreverence and disdain. Lmao
@@nabinoorshahil2715 Without life there is no death, without death there is no life, no form of creature that can feed off of something without death (You may think plants with photosynthesis but even stars die and were created from other dead stars, big bang etc. IF you relly want to we can go more into depth.
best part is if you look back there are hints everywhere. how he was oddly different from a vampire. how others were always complaining he smelt of decay, the things he said (mentions being around during the Roman empire. dracula in this series isnt THAT old). the fact that his name actually comes from vampire literature that predates dracula. they were extremely clever with this.
That's the interesting thing, someone always noticed one detail. One of these hints alone can easily be laughed off so no single person would notice, but all together make the picture whole.
I always loved the line "I've been with Dracula since the beginning". We just were led to believe that meant Dracula was a vampire, and not his entire life/unlife.
I love the fact that when St. Germain asks if it is "Death itself" he casually walks away from the answer, as Trevor has said earlier he was not really death, just a weird kind of vampire. I can think his mind like: "I ain't answering this fuckin question for the 100000th time"
Here I was wondering where the fuck Death was this whole time and boom, he's the overarching antagonist of the entire show. Nice little flip-aroo, to be honest.
1:12 to 1:36 show that “Death” in Castlevania is but isn’t death itself as he is a function of the world but he also feeds of the action of living things dying. That’s why he says he’s not a vampire as we know it
I would've loved it if he was the one who convinced the Bishop to condem Lisa as a witch to start all of this. It feels like something he would do and get the audience to hate him even more.
@@Warlock3151 actually this is a perfect headcamon goven she was the only consistent character to interact with both Lisa and Dracula before her death, and given Dracula spared only humans who helped him, it’s ironic the sweet old lady he spared would then come back as varney. Also explains why in her few scenes it’s just her and the characters not usually her and her family in the background l
While I appreciated the twist, the fact that Varney was voiced by such an iconic actor like McDowell immediately gave away that there was something else going on with Varney.
Dreamworks Death: sassy annoyed but pretty chill guy you could share a drink with Castlevania death: literally done with everyone's bullshit, and doesn't even hide it. Just wants to eat sleep and shit, and doesn't care what anyone says. all in all... both pretty fun interpretations
I love how incredibly unserious he is when he talks. You'll never catch any other incarnation of death calling something "weirdly fucked up" that's for sure!
The only thing that bothers me with this revelation is that there is no benefit to Death. If anything, it puts the resurrection of Dracula at risk. The resurrection would have already happened and by revealing his true nature he just made his pawn doubt at the last moment and he had to apply pressure to bring his pawn back on track.
I think the only reason why he did that was to show Ger to who is really the boss in the room. Because it is Clear that Ger do not care what Varney thinks,and probably would betray hım if he got a chance(like making Dracula attack hım). By revealing his identy,he put Ger in a very bad stuation. Affectivelly ending all the ideas of betrayal. What actually bothers me is,we got really little screen time for Varney before his reveal. İt would be much better if he was started much earlier.
I see it like this. Varney wasn‘t a full on different personality Death put on.If death made small mistakes as Varney why wouldn’t he now? He has proven to be a self obsessed prick often to his own detriment. Why would that change now?
I don’t know why, but I’ve always been bothered by Death saying, “I am Death,” followed by our guy here saying, “You. You’re Death!” It’s like, “Of course I’m Death! I just introduced myself. Pay f***ing attention!”
I always questioned this part of the show. Why, OH WHY, did Death decided there of all times to reveal who it was? couldn't it just wait until the resurrection was completed?
@@lordsneek2660 something I don't understand = bad writing for you? Literally everything failed because Germain managed to put it's shit together and finally realize what he was doing. Death reveladed himself because he tought the outcome was not going to change anyways, and but still trying to make sure that Germain would not rebel against him by intimidating the fuck out of him. Simply it wasn't enough. Edit: more likely you say it only because most say it was a perfect reveal
As a writer, if I had to handwave it away? I would explain the interaction as part of the spell. Germaine was going to pull a soul from hell (definitely not allowed), he was gonna defy God and the devil. And the event would doom the world. But for the whole thing to work, Germaine needed to know the full ramifications of the consequences...and still willingly chose to do it. The point of alchemy is knowledge. So the task would work, only if Germaine knew what was gonna happen, the truth and the whole truth. That's why Death explained it, and also vaguely threatened Germaine. It was an all or nothing gambit, thinking there was zero good in humanity, Death assumed Germaine would take his reward and let the world be damned. I would then also postulate that because Germaine didn't actually want the ritual to work, that's why the rebus aka dracula was so easily one shotted, despite him taking on all 3 heroes fairly easily in an earlier season.
@@eren7kruger129 yes I do agree with you that Death here was trying to intimidate Germaine, but I mostly think he just did it to gloat whilst also rubbing salt in the wound. He was kind of saying “see how gullible you were St Germaine? I have been manipulating you from the very beginning, I am so smart and you are a foolish human.” He knew that Germaine was going to do the spell anyways, he just took advantage of the moment to finally revel in what he’s on the cusp of accomplishing, and revealing his true self to Germaine made it that much more satisfying for him
At first I thought it weird. In the games Death was just a servant of Dracula (I supposed it was some form of wraith representing natural death). In this show I didn’t like death, but the idea that it either is death or a projection of death on the earth that mixes its natural purpose with the goals Dracula had because of how destructive it is… I kind of like that. Even though it’s not too different from a typical demon or monster in this series, just, “I want to kill” It’s like the typical, “Both our goals are different but ultimately have the same outcome.” Sort of thing.
He did claim that when everyone dies he'll never be hungry again, what if every birth of new life causes him hunger as part of the natural balance of life and death would make sense why he would want to cut the cycle on his terms.
@@planetzdr: Kaguya was fine but she was handled poorly. Like Zetsu should have been more like Death, a power hungry parasite who only wanted to unseal Kaguya in order to posses her and obtain the power of an Otsutsuki for he’s own selfish desires but due to he’s lack of knowledge of how to wield such power it would give Team 7 the opening to defeated him. That would have been a better final arc.
In Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin Death almost got his wish as an idiot vampire resurrected Dracula in Romania in 1942, that would have been a catastrophe of unimaginable consequences.
Bro the show is not historically accurute. Ottoman Empire is not posses the balkans like they did our world. Actuall Dracul is not exist. Romania,Austria and Hungary are looking similar to their modern counter parts. The Borders are simply not historicall. That Alone ls enough to make a massive change of events.
even if both world wars and the atom bombs, the trend of death has only declined since the middle ages advances in food production and medicine off balance any increase in technological warfare, by quite a margin last two centuries were actually the most peaceful ones until now, if it sounds counter intuitive it is because of recency bias
@@mcmarris1179 Death: I'm even being added to the pure evil wiki.

It funny because it was actually made for Netflix by Federator, the same studio who made Adventure Time, so people have been debating on whether it even counts as anime.
Not really...if you think about it dracula still dies after trevor breaks down the barrier, Saint germaine is just tossed to the side and death eats the soul turning into the boss battle again. From my prespective the monologue here is a bit cocky but either way it's still the same outcome.
How amusing; as every person always believed; Varney was the worst vampire of them all. And it never has been denied, because he never was one to begin with.
Rewatching this now makes me wonder about whether Bathory is gonna be the main villain for all of Nocturne's seasons, or if she's also gonna be removed partway through to make way for surprise villains like this. And frankly, she's not the most exciting antagonist for me personally. So I wouldn't complain if it turned out she's actually just the first big bad of the show, rather than the sole big bad.
Funniest thing is that he later says “I’m a little more than a Thing” Then Trevor says “No, your just a thing” I think anyone that can say “isn’t that kinda fucked up” Is truly only a thing.
So many people in this comments section clearly didn't watch the show, because that is not literally death, like death in puss in boots. That's a creature that named itself death and THINKS it is actually death, but he clearly admits that he cannot kill on a mass scale. Literal Death comes for EVERYONE and doesn't feed on souls. It guides them to the after life.
One thing I don't understand about this scene is he says I can't raise armies... Yet he manipulates a bunch of people into doing what he wants so how couldn't he start an army. He can appear as a human or a vampire or anything he wants it seems, so what's stopping him from creating an army? It's not like he can't kill either. So what he's just lazy now? Love this show but death didn't make much sense to me in it.
Death makes absolutely no sense in it. He can turn himself into a kaiju with a scythe big enough to slice skyscrapers but for some reason can't cause death on a scale like Dracula. The show was great before this season and the games are better.
Earth rules dont allow him to affect the world on a big scale or direct manner, so he found a loophole and instead manipulates people to do his bidding. regarding his power level, he`s probably a lot stronger than a human or even a regular vampire, but he`s not Dracula`s tier strong, he`s probably inmortal (or at least hard to kill) but that doesnt necessarily means being more powerful,. he only managed to grow big in the final battle after eating the remaining souls on the key he gave to saing germain for the ritual, without it he`ll probably would call it quits and waited for another chance to strike with a new plan.
Similar reason to why only humans can bring back people from hell. Death may be powerful but is limited. It can manipulate people but any if those people are inclined to listen to him. Dracula, vampires and St Germain are all slightly off their rocker. Their either nihilistic or insane enough for Death to influence. If your a normal stable person Death would likely have no sway over you. Hence why Trevor, who was becoming more optimistic as the show progressed, was able to defeat him.
Why would death care about causing genocide I thought he was suppose to be neutral and collect dying souls and deliver them to whatever their suppose to go and all that balance things out stuff.
He's not literal death itself. Its just a name given to him, its explained all he does is "eat" death, he's kinda of a vampire but instead of blood he feds on what I'm assuming is the essence if dying. More death equals more food for him.
He isn't true Death, just a vampire so old and powerful he feeds on souls instead of blood, old school. Humans probably gave him that name, I mean look at the guy! But a big thing in the series is how gluttonous and deviant vampires are, they're not sexy like in Twilight or some shit, they're just humans with alterations. The foul side of our nature is purified and condensed in a vampire, because they are such needy creatures- blood, power, sex, shade, wine, really cool capes. That's a *regular* vampire. Now imagine the OG, one of if not THE first vampire. That he's forced into a spirit form like a poltergeist is probably the only reason anyone in Castlevania is still alive.
Isn't the extinction of the human race a bit of a short lived victory? Like you'll have a bit bufet but after that it's gone. And then what you'll just live off the death of animals and plants?
I dislike that this scene appeared in my feed and spoiled the season's big twist. At first it looked like Issac would be the final boss since Varney just came off an egomaniac with delusions of grandeur and we saw where things would end with Carmilla. But then Issac turned his back on evil, and with this reveal, so many scenes with Varney come off as completely different knowing that he's not some arrogant punk, but an evil older and more powerful than Dracula.
I still don't understand this thing's limitations. Like, why can't he raise armies? Why can't he go killing by himself? He seems to have some power, he can shapeshift and he had that key to the corridor. What does he mean by spirit?
Well first of all, he is an evil Vampire that needs human life to nourish. So raising an human empire/army is next to impossible by his nature. In the long run Humans would plot and sheme against him. Despite a small little cult maybe, which we already saw in the adventures of Trevor and Sypha. Second, evil entities like vampires can’t reach into hell, as he stated himself, and Dracula needs human forge masters. So raising his own army of night creatures is also is off the table for him. And lastly (and that is my personal headcanon) something about his nature most definitely blocks his influence on death himself. Like for example, death caused by himself rots/decays lifeforece straight away, so he can’t get any nourishment out of (and that’s why he teamed with ratko to do the nourishing kills for him). Or because he is a spirit of death, he’s unable to enforce authority against humans or other creatures, so he needed some other mad man to do and wish greater death by themselves for all human life. The whole vampire coup plot was all about NOT bringing death to all humans like Dracula did want, since that would result cutting of all the blood supply forever and hunger for enternity. All he could do was manipulating others to believing they actually want death to all creatures. That’s what he tried with Isaac, hector, St Germains. That’s probably what he did to Dracula the whole time. Maybe even arranged the whole wife and death by church thing. I wouldn’t be surprised, if Draculas wife wasn’t the only woman trying to get help from him, starting a romance, all somehow send by Death to cause major heartbreak. In the end they are immortal beings and atleast centuries old. That’s a lot of time try it over and over again until it finally happens. Like, the final major manipulation attempt to get just right.
@@mrjonabra1Death is not a Vampire. He's the personification of death itself. A spirit of the Earth or even a minor deity as you will. In service to Satan to bring misery and bloodshed to Humanity. But as a deity/Earth spirit he can't just go wiping out Humans as, like all deities, he can't directly get involved in mortal affairs. That's where Dracula comes in; to do the job for him. In the games Dracula commanded Death; in the show Dracula was Death's pawn.
Isn't it better for Dracula to NOT come back and kill scores of people so that those people can instead go on to reproduce and increase the population, creating even more people that will eventually die, satiating Death's hunger?? Seems like if lots of people die upfront there will be a lot less to die later.
