The part about Castlevania that people just don’t seem to get is that Simon Belmont was so pissed at being cursed by Dracula after tearing him apart and killing the double shit out of him that he went on a roadtrip across Romania on foot, gathered Dracula’s body parts by hand, reassembled him like a fucking Lego set on a very unholy altar, conducted the extremely unholy ritual to revive Dracula, and then proceeded to beat the absolute fucking shit out of him AGAIN until he undid the curse. Simon Belmont dragged Dracula’s face through every single surface in southern Romania until Dracula undid the curse and then, in his infinite wisdom, Dracula did not once again curse Simon Belmont and left explicit orders to be revived after Simon was too old to fight him again because he did NOT want any more of those massive dukes.
Only to be reborn during the era of Juste Belmont, who not only had his grandfather Simon’s sheer physical might, but also the Belnades clan’s sheer magical might. “Did it end with Dracula getting his face and ass dragged across every surface of southern Romania once again?” Yes yes it very much did.
