S1E1
Richter Belmont
Julia Belmont
Ada gets upset with the boy for staying
Smile. "That makes... absolutely no sense"
"You can tell your messiah I'm here."

S1E2
wow that's a tragic backstory (mercy kills her sister before fleeing)
dang... cover blown and severely outnumbered
"glory be to god"
1=20231016

S1E3
Is the plantation owner able to go in sunlight? [I recall the one character near the end of the original series never saw the sunrise and she burned up when she finally went into the sun]
when the priestess informs her vision, it happens that the messiah is a woman
is this vampire [Olrox] out in the daylight?
so Olrox is acting independently of the messiah?
huh. Edouard, as a night creature, protected her
1=20231019

S1E4
Olrox and this knight [Mizrak]
Olrox explains some plot; Abbot is a forgemaster
he still declares belief in god, even as he has just slept with a vampire
"one god. and you think he can protect you"
hah! "and you just stumbled upon it one day while picking for flowers?" she doesn't answer
this vampire waves her hand through the sunbeam and it singes
Edouard speaks. I recall precedence for this in Castlevania
hmm they seem outmatched, or at least outnumbered (unless Olrox for some reason sides with them; which is unlikely because of what gappened when Richter was younger)
Maria's mom [Tera] knows of Drolta Tzuentes
huh the Abott holds her back from striking Maria
hmmm... Richter easily defeats the Marquis
hehe only to run in fright on sight of Olrox
1=20231019

S1E5
Annette acts rashly
shouldn't you get back to the chateau?
Sekhmet is mentioned by Vaublanc [Sekhmet - goddess of war and goddess of medicine in Egyptian mythology (Wikipedia)]
underwhelming revenge / end to their meeting (Vaublanc and Annette)
he reveals he is Maria's father
Juste. Juste Belmont. Your grandfather.

S1E6
I wondered and asked Ada if the moon, as it reflects the sun, would be bright enough to burn a vampire. Ada figured cause we can safely look at the Moon, that it can't be so bad. [20231111: multiple answers on the internet point to the 1921 film Nosferatu introducing sunlight as a weakness to vampires.]
why doesn't he carry a weapon?
300 years ago
Lydie & Maxim (Lydie, Juste, and Maxim and characters from Castelvania: Harmony of Dissonance (GBA) (2002); the player plays as Juste, and can play as Maxim after beating the game)
Evil will always win
There is light in this darkness
Mohican - oh that explains Olrox's accent
walking on water
maybe he'll use magic in desperation (Richter's whip has been taken)
"I'm much younger than you. That's probably all it is."
1=20231020

S1E7
with only this and next episode left what could happen? especially wkth Richter having a power spike
hehe the Marquis's wife holding his head, stroking it
hehe Olrox doesn't stand
wait... did they get all of them?
ah, this one floating
nice, Richter (I figured there was a good chance Tera could die that moment)
Snort. "bit of a dick"
hmm... okay... it seemed that Olrox was made to bow and this would give him reason to form a temporary alliance and help the group (he supplies a book to them)
"just read the fucking book"
I suddently thought why can't Olrox just kill Erzsebet... he seems quite powerful (then I thought about what Olrox said: I can't be seen doing anything right now; but... it's not clear why not)
crazy Abbot... initially he said he would protect his daughter and now he switches his mind
knocking - I'm guessing it's that one knight [Mizrat] who disagrees with some of this
Devourerer of Light.... is it permanent or just a solar eclipse?
1=20231021

S1E8
beginning here Tera supposes it's just an eclipse but Annette says it's magic
Maria certainly has her share of talent
Olrox helps a bit
I feel like why wouldn't things come from the other side through this Hell door (earlier Richter sarcastically said nothing could go wrong...) (Annette begins trying to push the machine theough)
"not powerful enough"
Alucard saves them, killing Ezrsebet's right hand [Drolta Tzuentes]
hehe Annette asks "who is Dracula?"

S2E1
Hmm... I guess in film when someone gives you the choice like that... it clearly implies they are stronger. I can't think of an example where the person was bluffing. But in real life... I guess no one is so skilled as to take on multiple persons that such a statement would be taken seriously.
Is he looking for his father?
Hehe. His comment on nothing there.
Hmmm... I wonder why he was down on his knees in reaction to the resurrection. Did he expect it not to work? Though I certainly did not expect it to work. Does it take his energy to forge? [I went to reddit and someone asked a similar question. The first reply said he believed vampires have no soul so it shouldn't have worked, but since it did work, then it implies they do have souls][Note that I initially thought she was just resurrected, but on second thought, I realized she is actually a night creature now... but the fact she was able to be fully awake seems to be... well I'll assume it's a product of the power level of her original soul]

S2E2
Good to see Juste in his uniform.
1=20250219 AM Hours

S2E3
This lieutenant has high awareness... just for the sake of the plot? I thought it was a rare event with Edouard being the one such off occurrence
Wow... being branded. The first for being loyal and the second... for not being loyal... hehe. Such chaos cannot actually be good for followers
Hmm... is this like the Dark Side of the Force... will it turn her evil?
Hmm making such a large army... how did it fail in the first series and why will it fail here... looks like the easy win is just to make a large enough army greater than the rest of the world...
Uh... what was that about?
1=20250219

S2E4
What would be cool is if they revive Dracula to help fight Sekhmet [oh, I forgot that at the end of the previous series he was alive... so assuming he wasn't killed in the 300 years that have passed then he would be alive... but I suppose he would have no interest in mettling with vampire affairs]
Holy crap... what was her mom trying to help her do... gain power but... without consequence? Like now she summons this crazy dragon
I can't imagine she would actually kill her father... Because if she does... I guess she wouldn't redeem herself back to the good side
Wow. Okay so they're deciding to have her turn evil. Ritcher will have to defeat her...
Ooo... clutch save
It seems her father got consume... so a chance he will make a reappearance
Huh. Tera gives a smirk at the sight.
Hahaha. the punchline "not having children though, that makes a lot of sense"
Hmm... if they're lucky then it's not about the body at all (re: "What do you want me to do?")
1=20250219

S2E5
Why is he here? Olrox
Nice... a revolution of night creatures
Hmm. I feel like consuming the heart wouldn't be good for Erzsebet... wouldn't she just become Sekhmet and lose her being as Erzsebet
"No place for us anymore" I wonder what a modern day Belmont would be like (maybe similar to Devil May Cry). Or a futuristic Belmont
1=20250219

S2E6
hehe. Ritcher falls asleep before hearing about Alucard mention Trevor Belmont as being his family
Ogun mentions realms of Gods... and not crossing into it himself
haha! Yes yes she confessed it while were braiding eaxh others hairs and we were talking about you
1=20250219

S2E7
Wow. A civil war among the night creatures
She's chewing on something to perhaps suggest Alucard was defeated but I think he's such a story favorite that no way [oh... it was Drolta vs Alucard, not Erzsebet vs Alucard]
Definitely great that Maria's arc played out (she learned to maintain control to the extent that she can even control the dragon)
That big dragon thing was Olrox? Probably right, because like 99% he was written to stay and fight after thinking about Mizrak's request to stay and fight
Huh. "Not the first time you saved my life."
Wow. Their infusion of power into the blast - I assume the three elements lightning fire and ice - was awesome.
Is Richter thinking to have them reunite in that body... since it's weak then perhaps Erzsebet would burn up?
Wasn't Annette supposed to sing some kind of song?
Hehe. Plot twist...
Wait. So did Sekhmet reunite in Erzsebeth after all or was it interrupted by Drolta?
1=20250219

S2E8
Wow. Alucard power level is next level. He is fighting on par with this embpowered Drolta. Though maybe he's channeling some reserve since his eye glows red and this power level can't last forever
Hehe. "I thought it was what you wanted"
What a final fight
Hehe. "Where were you when I was young?"
Hmm. Alucard gives a disapproving look to Maria ("Good. They deserve to die.")
Huh. The "Death" creature seems to have taken Tera who is smiling
