The Beauty of Maria Renard 

roast god maria

"What is a man? A MISERABLE LITTLE PILE OF SECRETS!" "I dont understand what that means!"

She is a Victorian Kunoichi and a Stand User? Yare yare daze.

Maria is pretty co-*Sees She pretty much has a stand* Ok she was made To be badass

Maria is genuinely one of the coolest and underutilized characters in Castlevania.

Don't forget that Judgement's version of Maria was obsessed with bust size.

She got with Alucard at the end though. Good for her.

I miss the old Maria, we used to love Maria Triple jumpin throwin out the doves Maria I hate the new Maria, the big screen Maria Always marchin people to the Guillotine Maria

Adult Maria rights.

Oh man, isn't it great to live in a world where Castlevania: Judgement has never been released? :D

I wish we could have played as the SOTN version of Maria in Portrait of Ruin

"The major difference between Maria and Richter is that Maria has a fucking Stand" Excuse me what the fuck!?

I didn't know Nocturne of Recollection was a thing that existed, but of COURSE that's the title of it. Only Castlevania would title something like an audio drama something as extra as that

Recently played sotn, probably one of my favorite games. thanks for getting me interested in castlevania

I'd really like to see Cornell in an anime He seems so zen and cool Plus the whole dynamic with him and the struggle of being a werewolf would be really interesting to see They could even dedicate an entire episode to the slaughter of his adopted sisters village....then use it as a constant motivation for why he has to keep in control in wolf form Alternatively, I'd really like to see a Symphony of the Night Anime Sure it'd be more Alucard Yet it would give him a lot more time in the spotlight and develop his relationship with Maria Maybe the End Credits scene is Genya Arikado looking at a picture of Maria before getting the call about some monster stuff going down

I really love these castlevania videos, I had forgotten how fun and interesting it's universe was. I've dug up a bunch of my old games because of these and I'm loving playing through them again, thanks for making these vids.

Maria was my favorite character in harmony of despair. I loved spamming her turtle mode cause it made a loud growling sound.

Gotta love how Richter and Maria are like brother and sister despite be8ng distant relatives😊

Tbh, I really wanted to see Maria(Older Maria) in the netflix show because I want to see her romantic relationship with Alucard to blossom even more and to be animated as well. And besides she is ridiculously powerful and gorgeous as well ...........And also she's a .........stand user😶

This is awesome! Maria Renard is one of my favorite Castlevania characters.

Rise your hand if you want to see Maria and Alucard in The Netflix anime... I WOULD KILL TO SEE THAT!!!!

I always felt she should have been a Belnades, since they bring back the Belnades name in Aria of Sorrow. So in my headcannon, she's a distant relative like Charlotte is. (Which would also make sense with her being a distant relative of the Belmonts, since Trevor and Sypha are a Belmont and a Belnades.

She was so unterutilized, maria and richter’s brother and sister relationship was so cool

Maria is Best Girl

Here after castlevania nocturne

I don't fear Death, Death fears my Doves

Damn I know nothing about Castlevania, so I was just gonna hear my weekly Meti voice, but I’ve been hypnotized by the very voice I craved. Nice vid mate 10/10

I love Maria Renard with all my heart. We spent the next 80 years together as a married couple until Maria died peacefully of natural causes. Maria was the most lovely person I have ever known.

Hope to see this in the upcoming Castlevania Nocturne anime with Alucard and Maria falling in love.

Not enough talk on Maria’s thirsty-ness for Alucard.

"and most importantly, the major difference between richter and maria is that maria has a fucking stand" that was not anything i expected to hear, but i am glad i heard none the less

God i love all things Castlvani and i love your character analysis, wish it gets it deserved views

5:30 I knew some where there'd be a JoJo Reference in a Castlevania game. Maria is definitely the perfect girl.

I'm used of seeing rance references on your channel, but there's so much in this video X)

Maria Renard in Castlevania Judgement was design by Tsugumi Ohba- (Death Note Mangaka) that why she look similar like Misa Amane and I agreed...I dont really like it either~

I want Maria and Alucard to end up together in the CastleVania Netflix series😍👍

Please do more castlevania. This was awesome!

Richter Belmont and Maria Renard > every single team in Castlevania history. *Change my mind* Jokes aside, what I find somewhat tragic about her relation towards Richter is that, as you said, she always saw the azure vampire hunter as not only a legend on it's own, but also as an idol. In fact, Dracula X Chronicles (I don't know if Rondo adresses it, too) states in the first meeting with Richter that her fathers were killed during the Siege of Aljiba (the name of the town in flames seen in stage I, who was meant to be a reference to Simon's Quest, since it was actually one of the towns that Simon could visit in the game) in 1792, in where basically the reformed demon armada of Dracula continued their genocidal war against humanity and massacred the town, leaving few survivors (being for example Annette, Tera, Iris and, of course, Maria). For unknown reasons, it seems she doesn't had more familiars or family that could continue to raise her, and here is where Richter, after having all those epic aventures with her and being compassionate of her's current situation, adopts her, making Maria automatically a Belmont by legal terms (also curiously, even if she is not blood-related to Annette, she also becomes part of her family since by marrying Richter she became a Belmont in legal terms, too). Richter went to take care of Maria's education not only as a person, but also as a very talented vampire hunter (if stated by Alucard that the Belmont bloodline is supreme among vampire hunters, surely Maria must be the 2th best vampire hunter at least in Europe in that era). Even if he wasn't much of an academic in magic compared to what like his ''grandfather / father'' Juste was, he did his best to enhance his magical capabilities, and letting her study with all the great resources the Belmont headquarters had at their disposal (according at least of what we could imagine as Netflix presented in the series, training with the Belmonts is training not only with the best instructors but also with the people with most knowledge of supernatural things in earth). Like in any type of master - disciple education, Richter left some of his traits in Maria's personality. The most prominent were his sense of justice (which actually she may have received even during 1792, given how even if she admits she doesn't understands too much about Dracula's discourse, she still criticizes him for condemning an entire race just for the errors of few without even knowing much about Dracula's backstory) and his flexibility towards supernatural things (Richter is a good example of how the family took their direction towards the supernatural after Trevor. Knowing that not all darkborn beings such as Alucard are intrinsically bad or evil changed a lot of their perspectives towards supernatural beings, specially vampires. In the end of SOTN, he thanks Alucard for helping saving him, and when Alucard condemns himself to return to the coffin, he incentivates her to help him and convincing him from doing the contrary, when he could had just stand away, being suspicious of if a relation with a dhampir would be good, excluding him because of his condition). To not make my commentary more extense, I find tragic how Maria saw how Richter, the man who was his idol brother and master, had to endure such a horrible experience like being mind-controlled and feeling utterly and personally ashamed for it, and then failing apart, refusing to continue to wield the Vampire Killer whip time later, and preferring to vanish from history (we may not ever known if it was because of his personal dishonor being too massive or because of major force) ....is simply demolishing. Demolishing to see how even the person she though was the encarnation of justice, the one who saw always a light through even the darkest of tunnels and the best human being she could have ever meet, could be even break apart. She probably understood then that maybe darker times can make some people heroes, but they can also kill them (both physically and mentally). Excellent video. I hope seeing you doing more about Castlevania characters and events (I'm specially wanting to see one dedicated to Richter, my favorite Belmont, and maybe clarifying some aspects of his story). Thanks also for keeping alive the franchise in RU-vid, at least in what lore means.

Yep, this is maria, not what netflix is trying to make her 😢.

Maria is the goat and Rondo of Blood is also my favorite Castlevania game , fucking awesome video Meti

I know Belmont in the real world, behind the scenes sense derives from French actor Belmondo, but I think it's worth pointing out that Belmont itself is a French name and is more common than Belmondo in French surnames. Belmondo is likely an Italian derivative of Belmont. Belmont would roughly translate to something like, beautiful mountain.

I can't believe you included Sengoku Rance characters. I can't wait for someone to look that up, not knowing what it is.

Heh thanks for up this gnarly video. I got so many nostalgic flash backs just from listening to it. Though it would cool to see you tackle the villains of the series at some point regardless if its Graham Jones, Magnus, Shaft or Brauner. Kind of a shame that Rondo of Blood was remade and had a new gnarly heroine Victoria Florescu, only to find out that it was a pachinko game instead.

I think she and alucard created the lecarde lineage.

Yeah, Maria is actually Richter's cousin. The Renard family is a branch of the Belnades family.

'the best Vampire Slayer to grace the chaos castle' opinion time

Oh a video on Castlevania *^*

Maria’s Pokemon Evolution: Stand user Disney Princess -> Stand User Victorian Ninja

The Beauty of Douma, please

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FOR MARIA

3:36, it wasn’t the sunlight that got him, it was that epic Burn!

Yooo castlevaniaaaa! Next time talk about bloodlines and portrait of ruin😍

5:25 Did you go over more about her stand? Did I miss that explanation because I don’t have a stand?

maria uses eastern magic and not western... netflix anime missed that part...

Best Castleviana Girl!!!!

stand user in castlevania

Oh my gosh YES

Odd this comes out in the very week I started to gain massive interest in the Castlevania Series as a whole. Sure i've only played Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow thus far, but now I have a massive interest in Rondo and Symphony-

The netflix anime had a village strategist and warrior who reaches out for alucards help greta play a similar role as maria humanizing Alucard after the events of season 2. A richter series has been announced so i hope they don’t leave Maria out of the series like they did with Grant. To see them embrace a lighter/anime side of the castlevania series would be cool.

Oh~? We're doing Castlevania now¿ Sweeeeeet 😎

A kindergarden kid use a stand.......WHAT WE'RE THINKING

4:04 so, Maria’s Hymn is a sub-weapon because she’s so bad at singing? that’s amazing.

This jyst nade ne want Xastlevania season 3 more

Maria is Literally the goat.

0:30 Brain: *sees Maria Renard* Wait, she's 11 years old? I'd say that puberty was inordinately kind to you.

Nice

Let's not forget another significance of the name. She grows up to be a real fox.

Probably my favorite Castlevania character

Oh how I miss Maria I was really enjoying the new Mobile game but it's going to die in a few more days as I type this , Maria was a Summon in that game , Konami are making another Castlevania Mobile game called Castlevania Moonlight Rhapsody and Maria is in that.

Short answer: maria is a jojo character with a twilight story

And now, we're going to see her in the Netflix series :)

Lol that Sengoku Rance xD

The real explanation for all the Japanese touches: Maria is *the* Proto-Otaku. She wasn't imitating Richter, he was imitating her! She probably spent a good ten minutes explaining why he should do a V with his fingers. At that point he had probably already learned to just do what she wants to avoid being swarmed by tiny incarnations of legendary beasts.

Wait a sec, a dragon, a Phoenix, a white tiger and a turtle? Is that where Beyblade got it?!

The moment Dracula got hit in the face with the dove he said "fuck that shit I ain't dealing with this"

Can we have a Shanoa video ?

Best girl

This is a jojos reference obey me

lol i snorted when you called her a konichi

I would like this only for Ontology even if I didn't like Maria. Which isn't the case at all because Maria is great.

3:58: * insert BrainScratch Comms "Also, I'm on fire." joke here *

The Beauty of Cielo from Digital Devil Saga Please

I didn't know Renard meant fox. That means Fox Renard in Gargoyles is just Fox Fox. XD

Wonder why she didn't get a kitsune summon ,since her last name means fox in French.

I think it’s canon that after rondo richter adopted her as a sister or something

Damn kunami

Who is here after the announcement?

So I see you like Castlevania! HEHEHOO

She is also in Castlevania judgment.

I ship her with Alucard.

could you Beauty of Elizabeth Midford from black butler

4:13 can someone tell me who those anime characters were shown from, in relation to the 4 gods?

I'm sorry I still can't get over SHAFT Who the hell willingly accepts the name *SHAFT?!*

For April fools please do the beauty of blue Hawaii

To the Alucard of the games. Damn it man, why do you have to be so much of the mr smooth to get the girls. First Maria then Greda. Daddy Dracula must be proud
