@@fredfry5100 How was she a coward? I’m not saying she was a strong vampire like Dracula but for what they relate in this video she managed to survive for a long period of time and it seems like she had enough power to make someone build her that fortress in the mountains LoL
Most of them were. I mean Godbrand was a fucking viking vampire and got killed by a human. None of them were close to the level of Dracula or even Alucard. Carmilla was only able to "defeat" Dracula because she manipulated Hector into helping her, had her entire guard helping, and took advantage while the three were storming the castle. Dracula already wanted death at this point, otherwise even then he could have killed her easily. Issac was able to take her out.
@@MauiWowieOwie Carmilla seemed really powerful though! Of course not enough to take Dracula down but she fought against an army and she had an epic ending! I think she was stronger than the other generals… Although her and Cho seemed to be a little bit stronger than the others. They were both my favorite along with Raman (although she didn’t do much I really liked her design)
This explains how Cho and the other generals died like they did. They lived for so long being invincible and unchallenged that it left them wildly out-of-practice. They never imagined that "livestock" would ever pose a real threat to them. When fighters like Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard showed up, their arrogance became their downfall.
That tends to be how it works out. Plus they are used to fighting against relatively normal humans. Trevor is a master vampire hunter whose spent his whole life fighting monsters, Sypha is a magician who can expertly control water/ice, fire and lighting and Alucard is...well...Alucard. Dracula's son with virtually all the same powers and non of the weaknesses. Vampires are simply arrogant and that always ends up biting them in the end.
I agree in part, although to be fair in Cho's case particularly she was fihting Alucard which she knew was a vampire and also knew was Dracula's son. So I thinkof all them at least she wouldn't have unerestimated her opponent by that logic since she knew she was up against another vampire
@@randomguy4989 Cho's problem is that she only saw Alucard as a threat and dismissed the other two as unimportant weaklings, letting Sypha blindside her with a fatal attack. None of the generals knew how to work together.
Back View Season 2 was really good I don't see how it was bad. Plus Sypha is like the ultimate counter to her since her mist form is susceptible to being frozen and done in.
There is a sinister undertone to the entire season 3, until the very end when it goes off the deep end with the story reveal about the Judge being a pedophile child killer!!!
Some people are annoyed by Cho's death, but really it doesn't surprise me she got offed so easily, like the brother said, she spent a long time hidden where no one could reach her and no superior power could find her, the second she went up against the trio of vampire hunters packing magic and weapons specifically meant to kill her kind, she and all the rest got clapped
Just a quick info, when you say "the brother" you might think they are siblings like I initially did but they are not. So if you watch the scene where they both seduce Alucard, there's no need to get weirded out.
Cho could still be alive. Her mist form could just be trapped in the ice, so all she'd have to do is wait for the ice to thaw and then come back together. Season 4 will tell us. Then again, that is just me wanting her back because I love her design.
@@billystokes3917 No shes dead. Its like a teleporter accident, where your pieces are spread very far seperated, your literally mince meat. And assuming that Vampires can die by beheading, and getting stabbed in the heart, both those organs would have serious problems coming back She literally would have to regenerate from near total destruction, which would make her stupid op
@@billystokes3917 nope she is dead.. she cant stay in mist form long enough to wait for ice to melt and reform.. she dies in mist form before the ice even melts the ice keeps her from reforming.. if she goes back to physical form while still in shattered ice.. she is minced meat and pieces inside ice cubes
I don't know what's more amazing. The fact that this fight is nothing more than Cho having a fun little dance Or the fact this Samurai fought to the bitter end despite every single time Cho proved to be in total control
I’m surprised she is dead. She can survive as a mist so why not being frozen and broken? Just put yourself back together, its the same element molecules or whatever just slowed down to a stop instead of scattered. Thaw, flow back together as water. Reform yourself.
Especially after seeing this I love how Sypha disposed of Cho with almost contemptuous ease. Cho spent centuries toying with humans, even depriving those who were brave enough to stand up and fight her of an honorable death -- can't think of a better way for her to go out than getting casually squashed like an insect by someone who never had to care about the monster she was.
Her style is that of a geisha which are performers/courtesans in Japanese culture and use interpretive dances to tell a stories or convey emotions throughout their performances.
Let’s review what Cho did to the Samurai, she defeated him, stripped him of some of his armor, strips him of his ponytail, cut him up while making a performance out of it, have his defeat witnessed by others, destroyed his katana In doing all of that, Cho dishonored the Samurai in more than one why by Japanese tradition. Honor to a Samurai dictates in most of these offenses had to be repaid by Seppuki to reclaim the honor But Cho denies him an honorable death or death at all, by not only stopping the Seppuku by apparently turned him into a vampire giving him eternal life. An eternity without ever being able to reclaim his honor That’s the scope of how terrible Cho did to the Samurai, witnessed by the siblings and later subtly expressed in their narration to Alucard
2:27 in that moment, she asserts her dominance and steal his honor as a samurai, she humilliated him in every possible way and then she just killed him... Wonderfull, well done directors!!!
@@84blizzle Too bad, guess she never expected a fight from a Sypha, Alucard, and Trevor Belmont! Vampires must shit the bed realizing that Dracula was murdered by these three Hunters!
This really shows how everything is relative. Cho was a terror in her home country. No one could touch her, and she looked all but invincible. But against the likes of Alucard, Sypha and Trevor? She was little more than fodder.
Cho never said a line on this show, yet she was one of the most intriguing characters to me. The way she turned into mist, her fight style, her looks and behavior, everything about her was mysterious.
Comment fits perfectly. Her flowing movements remind me of the corrupted monk! This Samurai needed the mortal blade or atleast some prosthetic tools lol
It’s a samurai’s honor, he doesn’t surrender and if he fails, kills himself to regain it. Cho didn’t care. It was dishonorable. Her death was coming to her.
This is my favorite scene, the fact that she allowed him to come near her and after defeating him she didn't let him die with honor (sepuku) and drained him, shows you true sadistic nature of a vampire.
She fights for her own amusement so she would obviously want to play with her opponent (if you can even call him that). My question is why doesn't she fight more gaurds? It would be more fun and challenging, and she would get to cut loose a little, but whatever.
@@khrispy_fur6376 would be funny seeing her luring the main trio in for a fight without expecting shit, especially if she started turning her back like in this video and getting stabbed from behind with a surprised pikachu face
in addition to the other comments here talking about her intentionally drawing it out, I really think that when she jammed her fingers into the back of ribs in that wound, he probably was not going to walk away from the fight alive and he knew it. He was only able to continue to fight by virtue of self-control, desperation, and most importantly adrenaline. Even if he had killed her then, he wasn't going to leave that castle alive.
Jesus Christ, she tore through that dude like a razor blade through rice paper. The way she took out his arm was beautiful. Watching Vamp Cho work got my body heat rising and my blood pumping like crazy!
@@mareklonestar7053 I am not sure how they are going to play it. What I do know is in the game he got his power from killing another vampire. He also recruited people into his vampire order and that they were once human. Isaac and Hecter are the exception because they want humanity to be controlled in Hecter's case or purified in Isaac case. Basically starting all over.
I don't think that's true. For Issac and Hector yes (though Hecktor didn't necessarily hate) but none of the vampires were shown to hate humans. They followed Dracula out of loyalty and devotion to his legend. Any Vampires (such as Godbrand) who opposed the complete eradication of humanity risked death.
IronWarrior oh I know but from the long run of the movie and the 2008 tv show it’s his canon personality is to act like a incompetent coward in the runs away in the most pathetic way possible.
So the fact that those 2 saying that they know her secrets and her moves was probably the main purpose of Cho intention to have an assassin to face her stronger than a warrior.But what they didn't know was that Cho wasn't even using her full capability which was shown against Alcuard was using her powers. As arrogant as Cho was, she was still careful not to overestimate as shown in Dracula's castle.
Indeed. Her ability to transform into mist made it abundantly clear that only someone with magical abilities similar to Sypha's was going to be the one to put her down. None of the twins weapons would have done anything close to hurting her, unless maybe they somehow managed to strike her heart, but finding it under all those robes is easier said than done.
“She had lived where no superior army could reach her” “She was ancient and arrogant” Now I see why she was so easily taken care of.. Chō could’ve been what O-Ren was in Kill Bill had she played her cards right.
Cho's death was hilarious. Cho was so unfamiliar to a real fight that she doesn't know how vulnerable she was in the ethereal form. Got frozen to death instantly with no chance of escape.
Didn't even let the man have an honorable warrior's death. I guess all that dance-fu works up an appetite, but still the dance was graceful and beautiful.
She’s dancing like it’s performance art and he’s fighting for his life. Love the choreography of this scene. It conveys so much of Cho’s personality and subsequently the egomania that led to the downfall of the vampire generals
Is cho really dead? I mean, i do remember that she got frozen by sypha while she was in mist form but...is that enough to kill a strong vampire such as her?
@@TikisPlayhouse I wouldn't be quick to judge, magic in particular is not just for vampires in particular. Yes, it can kill them but it's very versatile rather than exclusively for vampires. She froze Cho into Ice when in Mist form, so the mist is still inside even when crushed as it gets released back into the atmosphere. We never really seen Cho die (Vampire ashes) so we'll need to wait for the next season.
@@Mithras-jp4jp id also like to point out that the brother sibling said she was arrogant and hid from superior forces so she only fights her slaves. That in mind, if she fought someone like trevor, alucard, or sypha, would she really stand a chance? Let alone 3 of em at once? Im not saying her death was good i think it sucked but i do think she didnt stand a chance
@@TikisPlayhouse Arrogant has some relevance to one owns skill, to say she was arrogant would also imply she had some level of higher skill to work her arrogance out of. He never said she hid from superior forces he said her temple was secluded so no armies could find her, So this proves she is cunning - I'm not saying she is at the same level of Dracula but it proves she has some intelligence, no vampire could defeat an entire trained army without their own, even Dracula would struggle depending on the armies size (As a reference when we see Dracula fight some guards he slaughters them all with a little bit of damage but mostly just a slaughter-house) Trevor and Alucard she would destroy, they would have no way to defeat her. Keep in mind this was their first time seeing a vampire have the ability to turn into Mist. (Even when a deadly wound is inflicted she can turn into mist and become invulnerable - shown when Alucard slashes her head) also, we don't know the max extent mist form can do but it does seem to be OP (saving one from death which would kill any other vamp) So Magic was the most effective counter to it, I don't see a sword or any of Alucards vampire tricks affecting her. The brother said "No superior power could end her" So we can deduce that mist form is a very rare skill (We don't see many vampires use it and we can even question if Dracula himself has it) So overall, her ability was very interesting though she lacked true power like Dracula, she was very powerful with that one OP ability and who knows what else. But yeah, it was a dumb plot-point to expand on her, all it did was make us want her to become a villain rather than stay dead. But who knows maybe they'll bring her back.
Has no one realised she didnt open her eyes the entire time? Until she decided to end the dance? That's why this is terrifying. She knew every move he would make, where he would be. Just to dance around him. As if she could do this in her sleep.
Wita cha pin Amk I’m not sure wether she was born vampire since they said general , so she obvi would have fought for her castle and land. Had they said princess or noble i would have believe she was born vampire
This just proves that they completely wasted the vampire generals in season 2. They were so cool and intriguing and yet they did absolutely nothing the entire time.
You don't need to do that all the time. We romanticize battles because of television and movies. A fight can end in moments. No big death speech, no last stand, nothing.
Yeah they felt like just stand-ins for the show to say "look at Dracula's reach and scale of influence through all these diversity hires." I really thought Cho was going to make a comeback this season.
Her movement is unrestricted yet fierce. Flowing like a silk scarf on the gentlest of breezes yet striking like the thinnest of needles. Such balance yet such strength from the smallest attacks. She waste no energy but deals strikes with such lethality........ It's art in motion so seamless youd think it was imaginary but the moment you realize it is real you feel shudders of fear and amazement sweep around your very soul! This is the purest fighting style I've ever seen.
It makes sense that Cho got destroyed as quick as she did. After years of living in a secluded fortress, toying with her prey instead of having a proper fight, she definitely wasn’t prepared to face off against Sypha, Trevor, and Alucard.
Poor, poor samurai. Don't worry brave soul, at least Sypha avenges you later on. Really the show shows you need insane experience, magic or numbers to defeat vampires.
@@orangemafia9128 he means he was going to die any way, and wanted to die on his own terms instead of being killed by his enemy, who just wanted to kill him as entertainment
It makes me disappointing that the generals of Dracula have been killed so quickly and easily, I think that It would have been more fun if most of them had escaped and became enemies of Trevor, Alucard, and Sypha. Each one with his own unique abilities would have a be good opponent. It would also have been a good plot to see them fighting each other to become the new leader of the vampires after the death of Dracula.
Dracula's generals are just basic fucking Vampires. Old ones for sure but still basic vampires. And they were facing a Belmont, a magician and Alucard. They never had a chance.
@@bernardobastos5996 Basic? At last one of us can transform in smoke, and I would think that Old Ones vampires are beasts in combats with their centuries our thousands years of experiences, Trevor is good but he is a simple human, facing one of them on his own and winning should be a deadly challenge for him. Alucard is also relatively young for a vampire, even if his powers give more and advantage.
@@kevinreiss-coint2353 They're still Basic Vampires. Dracula is powerful because he is Dracula. There's not difference between the Generals and the run of the mill vampires you see in Carmilla's forces, besides age and experience as you say. Now guess what, the Belmonts have hunted Vampires for centuries. Successfully enough to make the Vampires fear them. So saying Trevor shouldn't be able to kill them while armed with the Morningstar whip is foolish. Sypha can use magic, it OP. And Alucard is literally the son of Dracula with a magic sword.
Seem to recall back in my senior year of high school learning about the samurai. One particular point that caught my attention was that if a samurai is dishonored in any fashion, they must commit Seppuku. Cho outright denied the samurai in this clip that option.
makes sence she was so easily killed if you think about it, the brother sibling said she was hidden away from superior armies,only fought her slaves,and was very arrogant, the second she went up against the hardened trio, her arrogance got the better of her and she paid the price for it
@@TikisPlayhouse Yeah but it would've been nice to have that sub plot drawn out a bit more, rather than it just feeling rushed and like an afterthought. Every enemy they come up against should have more time taken to explore who they are, what their motivations are, how they can overcome them etc rather than just "oh here's a really strong bad guy" them kill them in 5 seconds. The show does character building well in some areas but not in others.
The elegance in the fight was superb. We need more of these flashbacks with vampire Cho. Too bad she died so quickly. She had the potential to offer more to the plot with this small clip of herbackstory.
She is my absolute favorite character in castlevania and while I'm so dissapointed not to see more of her, I understand why and how she died so quickly. She spent so long in her palace, surrounded by those weaker than her, never challenging herself, never learning or growing from failures. She was a big fish but she kept herself in a very small pond, it's no surprise that as soon as she left and faced anything even slightly challenging, she croaked. Unlike the other generals who spent their immortal lives learning and fighting and growing, she wanted peace and comfort. She was too focused on being elegant and wasn't willing to get her hands dirty for victory. She especially wasn't good at fighting in a team with the other generals.
I do not think she's dead. She was in her mist form when she got frozen it's possible once the ice melted she reformed somewhere else and is no doubt returning to Japan.
You ever notice this that, when Cho was fighting in the castle she had other abilities that were not shown to the siblings or too the people. Meaning whatever Cho was doing for fun was just to break their hopes if they ever come close to what they realize. It's all a game to her.
Chos story is lit af It explains how in history Monsters were perceived as gods and monsters and kings and wizards But in reality they were just powerful people with technology and knowledge more advanced than others
@@Ninjaananas Clearly not given she wasn't using giant energy spheres of death that instantly go poof if you bring a shield. Or summoning smaller versions of herself to litter the battlefield.
Some things I luv from this fight scene: the way the blood splatters down from the ceiling rain, the music as it crescendos with Cho's strikes, the way Cho dances and closes her eyes, literally playing with her food
I'm not convinced at all that Cho is dead she's seems so interesting and the poi t they brought her up again in such a big way convinces me she isn't really dead
(Sorry, english its not my first languaje). When the trio (Alucard, Trevor and Sypha) went to Dracula's castle and started to kill all the other vampires, Cho was the only one who we didnt see her corpse. Also, the way she was "killed" and her ability to transform into smoke may have granted the chance to survive
Often frozen people that are smashed to pieces just don´t come back to life mist or not and the only instance i have seen about that not working it was sheer plot armor.
@@jackhammertwo1 well i mean she's a vamire and mist at the time and she never killed in any vampire killing way (stake/sunlight/morningstar etc) so there's a chance she could be alive but likely not
Alexander Platypus right. They have the story but they might lose us with splitting it up so much but I think they are a underground start up company creating this with a small budget and small number of people which if that’s the case then I completely understand but time is money lol.
What are you talking about? An episode is average 25-27 minutes, and season 3 has 10 episodes. Do you actually believe animation 45 minutes 12 times is easy? Because it took 3 years to release season 3. So if I were you I wouldn't complain about it
Hoovy no ones complaining at all. I said they should consider making their episodes longer bc personally for me this season could of offered more plot than it did this season. Also I do realize animation takes time. Not sure if their budget is small or their film company is a starter but either way as much time as they take they might as well add more detail in for the viewer experience since we are waiting and 25 minutes is not shit bro lol
It's really not. They wasted all these years not honing their strength, merely toying around with weak humans. Then, when they meet people as strong as trevor (who is designed to hunt vampires), a mage like sypha and alucard, they will be more like the fodder which they wasted all their time on.
