@@fissilewhistle Nah. Basically Kyoshi but with less earth and more waterbending. Several Avatars have been shown to hesitate to perform violence. Roku is an example.
@@snakeusa7885 Roku hesitated solely because Sozin was his former best friend. He told Aang that he probably made a mistake by sparing his friend because it came at the cost of the world, leading to war
Even back in the Belmont hold before getting attacked. Trevor: I'll protect you as long as I can. Sypha: I know. That was another small moment that got me.
I really love how they animated slypha magic precisely on how to use element manipulation is. The way she uses magic is unlike any other magic user ever in any anime or show I’ve watched. The way she utilized her magic is phenomenal and how logically how you’ll use them . I really love it
Fuzz Buzz Exactly. It’s acts more like how you would use a muscle. You don’t say magic words or anything. You just act. I believe this type of writing is called a soft magic system.
@@couragew6260 Maybe, I'm still new to the terms but given soft magic seem to not follow certain rules to much Idk if its usable here? It's still pretty close though since magic is barely defined in castlevania unless used with alchemy or devilforging though! So the series does go into both Soft and Hard styles to me.
Like how people in the last air bender could use their abilities but don’t for the reason they don’t seem to have creativity and if they are then why not do it like this
I will never, EVER get sick of seeing Trevor use his whip(s). The way they’re animated is top notch and they clearly put a lot of care into making such a major part of Castlevania look right. I’m not even going to go into everything else they got right(there’s a LOT) but I’m really glad that the people behind this show care about it as much as we, the fans new and old, do.
Me too. I love how they have him using his body to direct the whip and gain momentum without losing speed. It's a surprisingly realistic way of using a chain whip.
The 2v1 at 1:49 is interesting because at first glance it looks like Trevor's fending off their attacks, when in fact he's the one going on the offensive and the two demons are having to parry his assault.
yeah that was literally my favorite part of the episode so when i was watching it again i was like "holly shit that defense with just a whi- WAIT, hes not on the defensive, HE IS ON THE FUCKING OFFENSIVE OH MY GOD"
Seriously that’s so dope. I wish more animators had the balls to have as much weapon/ fighting style variety in their characters and shows. That’s why castlevania is the perfect show to me, it made an I sure weapon such as a whip look more badass than any sword fight. This scene is probably my favorite in the whole show so far because it’s just so badass and unique.
Well, with a whip attack and defense flow together since your whole goal is keeping the adversary out of their comfortable striking range but within yours.
@Stinkmeaner Better than most of actual anime that this series's writers know how to write a story while many anime focus women's breasts than a story.
@Stinkmeaner it's because these days people are used to associating serious (ish) animated (especially hand drawn) with anime rather than western style. Honestly. Look at this and say "It's a cartoon!" Feels a little... Off huh. Personally i for one applaud a show that reminds us all that western animation still has some top notch series out there.
This is the worst case scenario in a D&D campaign. The entire village harvested, the Boss has become 2x more powerful because of the villagers souls, the portal to Hell has been opened, and hoards of demons are pooring in, and the wizard can't roll above a six on his Arcana checks to control the portal. The only upside is that Sypha and Trevor kept rolling natural 20s against the demons. That's honestly how i viewed the last few episodes. Edit: also, pretty sure they used Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Cryonicis(?) Sound effect for one of Sypha's attack. It was bugging the living hell out of me on WHERE I'VE HEARD THAT NOISE, before i remembered. XD
I love how we’re able to see Sypha improve with every battle, she gets more and more powerful and smart with how she fights. The first time we see her she’s your average mage type, still pretty impressive but nothing too flashy. Now she’s literally clowning on these demons, skating on ice like an olympic figure skater and is able to use 4 elements - which, if I remember right, Speaker magicians can rarely surpass 2 elements. I’ve watched a lot of shows, but none have done a strong female protagonist as good as Sypha, she’s absolutely fantastic.
It's really good to see them do her justice. She's one of the very earliest female action/adventure player characters in all of videogames, a mere 3 years after Samus. Pretty much every 'female magic user heroine' who came afterwards is in some sense influenced by Sypha Belnades.
@@dyppityjoop5912 she also uses wind magic, but mostly for mobility before she started using fire for mobility, like in the catacombs at her introduction. She also uses it to push back that fire death ball Dracula uses during that 3v1 fight.
@@mikhailthegreatestdragon3627 That honestly raises far more questions than it settled. A byproduct of fire and ice magic being cast together would make sense, but ice magic alone seems weird. Where is your claim from if you don't mind? Is it possible there is a version difference at play, like the game-Sypha only had 3 elements?
Yup great story telling and transition, choreography from episode 9 and 10 especially 9 with the sex scenes (some people are triggered about it lol) www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=amp.reddit.com/r/kotakuinaction2/comments/fe5isa/castlevania_season_3/&ved=2ahUKEwju1Nuh-IToAhVwS98KHbkKDiwQFjAGegQIChAB&usg=AOvVaw3o_b5ydrhRFpVjU1PIq7yk
@@blueberryindigo3087 okay I read the post that I saw you that you linked. so the person is triggered because the sexuality of Alucard and including the sex scene?
Hash chery personally I find it hypocritical on people going on about “woke” culture and sjw thing Because on this point I feel they becoming the thing they hate Overbearing and obnoxious about things like we hate sjw for their oversensitive and “I know better than you” attitude But when the other side of the coin goes on ranting and hissy fit on things I generally see on why no one agree with each other
@@mcpics4448 Both sides are rank with hypocrisy. I actually wondered, are they brother and sister? I dont remember it even saying that, I kinda assumed they were.
This show is just incredible. Sypha started out standing her ground and blocking attacks in fights. Now our most precious wizard is propulsing herself around with fire jets, ice skating, and shooting LIGHTNING. Trevor with the 2 whips was pretty amazing too. He is so agile despite being such a brute fighter.
Well she had to get saved by the Cyclops in season 1. And if you want to be really nitpicky she got saved a couple of time in the Dracula fight. But that was not everyone helping eachother not getting killed :D.
@@TheHammer260 That's true. What I really mean is that Sypha cleans house like it's nobody's business. I don't know her onscreen kill count but I feel like hers is the highest of the main 3 haha
0:05 Can we just appreciate how creative and unique the monster designs are for this season? The highlight being, of course, the three-eyed goat centaur thing that pops bone arrows out of his own palm.
@Aung Un'Rama Exactly. I'm saying that the ost is out for season 1, but not season 2. If season 2 hasn't been released, it may be a while before season 3 is.
It isn't anywhere close to top level Japanese stuff but still fantastic. Ufotable's tax evasion combined with the Japanese special overworking ability is too strong.
I like how the bow demon seemed the most simple, no magical elements or chaotic attack movements, yet also the most dangerous besides the big one. Also way more creepy
the design is awesome too. hes like a turret with 4 legs for bracing, a third eye for the extra depth perception and the arrows that come out its hand makes reloading no issue. if i ever met this dude im running
Sypha is literally the goat in this season, her magic is just too clean and fluid with every spell. The improve of her magic was just so over the top, I can only imagine how this woulda went if Alucard was with them.
Sypha is a textbook example of a well made “strong female character” She’s incredibly powerful but is also likable She has her flaws like the other guys but they all fill each other’s weaknesses
One thing that makes Castlevania superior: The fights never get voring because the heroes are getting injured regularly and are shown to be vulnerable, and they use their powers in a creative and adaptive way instead of doing the dame thing over and over again.
This scene alone makes you understand how important is to choose the right soundtrack, that music gave us a sense of absolute dread and horror during the fight. Absolute masterpiece.
You know? i really like that there's a nice mix between the more "grounded" enemies from early castlevanias (such as the lesser demon/leviathan), the slightly more "bizarre" ones from later games (malachi and the SotN Flame Demon), and THEN the outright "eldritch" (the regenerating one made with "souls of recently dead)
Slogra and Gaibon in Season 2 is one thing, but faithfully adapting Malachi and the Flame Demon proved to me that the guys in charge of the action sequences really care about the games. (Sure, Buer isn't the spinning lion head/spider he was in the games, but I'll gladly take the more source material-accurate interpretation over a game-accurate adaptation.)
Yea it's really cool to see as the show keeps going, the monsters get stronger. Like how this big fight was mostly more of the late-game monsters like the malachite, lesser demon and inferno demon.
@@raisingwings2913 Just the Malachi, flame Demon, and lesser demon are from SoTN. The Buer, Cagnazzo, Lubicant, and gateway demon (forgot its name) are from other games.
@@Pastartes047 I think the point of that scene was to show us how desperately Alucard needed love. I don't care about the threesome, it was a way of showing us how Alucard needed people in his life who care for him, in the end he is betrayed and forced to kill them, slowly becoming like his father...
This is animation eye candy! It is absolutely beautiful. Sylvia and Trevor are one of my favorite couples. They really complement one another and have this sense of trust and independence that I really like. I would really like seeing a Sylvia vs Korra death battle. Love them both!
This show is a perfect example of how to have a strong female character who isn't annoying as heck. Sypha is super feminine, but just plain badass. Trevor holds his own very well and is very masculine. Isaac is a dope character. The LGBTQ scenes were tastefully done. If writers would write good characters for minorities no one would have any issue. We want good characters. The reason a lot of movies don't do well is cause the writing is garbage. Batwoman is an awesome character in the comics and no one cares that she's gay. The Batwoman show is trash and it has nothing to do sexual orientation.
It's a good example of making a good character without caring what's between there legs, also I found the two vampires in a relationship adorable even though I'm glad they didnt lay it on to thick I wish there was more of them, great chemistry
The way they portrayed the two lesbian vampires was perfect. Personally, I find it annoying when shows or movies feel the need to constantly remind you that a character is gay as if we forgot about it and that it's important to the story. What they did here was let you know that they're together and then focus on their characters, not their sexuality. Even showing really good character development when they were sitting up on the castle talking about normal things couples talk about, to discussing plans for policing the borders.
Hate to burst your bubble there, but everything involving sex with Alucard and the twins was horribly forced and rushed. Alucard was suffering from loneliness, sure, but that doesn't mean he suddenly became a naive trusting idiot. Tbh, they just handled Alucard very poorly this season, and any betrayal ensuing during or after a sex moment would never require more than one sex partner. The twins were a prime example of what poor LGBT writing looks like. As for Striga and Morana, I agree the show thankfully didn't focus on them being a couple or lesbian and focused on their characters and what they bring to the table. It's just really fucking weird that instead of just putting a dude in Striga's place, they tried really hard to make her look as much of a man as possible. I'm saying that's weird because she might as well have been one, but for whatever reason, writers just didn't want that.
I like how they balanced the fight with not giving either character too much glory and giving the main character the final blow. They each killed 5 + trevor beating the boss. Trevor's 5 were more fodder and Sypha's more unique and challenging.
1:48 to 1:53 ish is probably the coolest thing I've seen in this show so far. I never wouldve thought to animate that and the execution of it is fucking flawless.
I like the gradual threat escalation: by now it is pretty clear that the night creatures shown before just aren't match for the heroes (with Trevor killing one with his bare hands no less), but these guys actually put up a fight. Sure, Trevor and Sypha were individually more skilled and powerful, but the demons actually surprised them time or two and inflicted injuries. It is nice to see heroes showing signs of having to work for it. And this? This was just Isaac's backup plan.
I could watch sypha and Trevor fight for hours both of them are so mesmerizing that it's crazy. Trevors whips are almost like a dangerous second limb and combines with his loving star it's awesome and syphas usage of fire and ice would make other people of the same categories look like utter chumps. Can't wait for season 4 of this masterpiece
What I find extremely interesting is that a good amount of the demons (the ones with the sets of wings in particular) base a striking resemblance to the descriptions of angels from the Bible, yet the consecrated weapons still explode them. This fits with the idea of demons being fallen angels, who became unholy through their actions, but maintained their bodies. It also fits that none of the night creatures made by Isaac look like this, since they are all human souls that have been brought back
Jason Isaac's as the judge was really good as well. I also like how their characters faces are slightly reminiscent of their own faces. It's a neat touch.
Sypha really is unique, not in terms of powers but in combat. She knows how to use her magics effectively in close combat, something you don't see very often.
The way trevor fights with the Morning Star seems to be somewhat based off of the real life "meteor hammer" or "rope dart" with a combination of actual whip action. Such a beautiful weapon, I highly encourage you to go watch some videos of them
I love how when Trevor is caught in between the two demons he’s actually on the OFFENSIVE!! They are the ones having to parry/guard his attacks not the other way around
It can't be overstated how perfectly executed his fight scenes are, especially 1:49 to 1:57 .Trevor constantly spins his whip to maintain momentum while zoning the two demons in order to keep them in his effective range. When he gets the killing blow on one the momentum is lost, so he pulls the head of the whip in, gives it a quick spin and hucks it at the second demon. Flawless blend of grounded plausibility with over-the-top action.
Sypha uses the power of centrifugal force to stop her from getting sucked by that mini black hole and gaining enough speed to propel herself away from the gravity well and facesplode that Cthulhu demon. That was sick
i love that you can see her thinking. like any mage...we know we aren't damage sponges...and the way you can see her see the environmental information and then know and enact its dominant opposite so quickly., with magic, it is really beautiful to watch...this....wow. i love this show!!!
Always thought Sypha had made the ice disk out of nothing but finally saw that she slaps her right hand on the ground ice before the Disk appears in her hand,
1:00 Sypha: Ice style: Rasen-Structo Disc!! Buer: No u *Deflects to the side* Flame Demon: Dafuq? *Cut in half* Lubicant: But y tho? *Cut in half* Cagnazzo: Um, I guess I'll block i-- *Weapon and self cut in half* This fight was intensely epic, but that part made me laugh so hard 🤣
I absolutely adore that they took a simple aesthetic choice from the games, namely that enemies Simon kills with his whip disappear in a little flame burst, and both wove it into the lore of the world and incorporated it into the action scenes. Picture, if you will: - Should we have the monsters burst into flames in the anime? - Yeah; they do that in the games, right? Let’s stay true to the source material. - Okay, but why would they do that? - Oh, because the Belmonts use consecrated weapons whose touch is anathema to the unholy, so they get immolated when Trevor hits them. - …I like it. Ohhhh… I’ll bet we can incorporate that into the action scenes. That’d be pretty sick… - …let me show you my sketch book. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant in its simplicity and flawless in its execution. God, this show is a masterpiece!
This segment clarified to me why I never pick wizards in RPGs: I'm not smart enough to "pull off a Sypha." Or arrogant enough because that shit is OOOOO-PEEEEEE. Love it.
There's so many things I love about this series but my most favorite thing is probably how Sypha uses her magic. No longass chanting, not just elemental balls, and way more creative and effective ways in using these magic
Lets all admit. The seeping darkness we get from playing Castlevania is the same chilling darkness we get from this animated adaptation. Kudos kudos for all the makers, animators, writer, and director of this show. And to all the people behind this. This is from an all-time Castlevania fan.
One of the best relationships I have ever seen in an animated series. Trevor knows Sypha is so much stronger than him and instead of feeling emasculated by that and groaning about it, he's all "yep, you're a total fucking bad ass. Let's annihilate some hell spawn together". Where as Sypha never brags about having the abilities of a Demi-God and is emotionally supportive of Trevor despite not needing to be. You know you're a dweeb when you're setting relationship goals based on a cartoon.
