Also, can I say, as someone who got into Castlevania through the GBA games, how happy I was to finally notice some Easter eggs in Nocturne?

Circle of the Moon, Harmony of Dissonance, and Aria of Sorrow, all three games got some sort of nod in these two seasons, which made me really happy. 😊

I liked how Ritcher uses elemental whips just like how you do in Circle of the Moon.

I liked seeing Juste in his red coat in season 2. My literal reaction when he put that on was shout "Oh, my God! It's the dude from that one game with tons of backtracking!!" 😱

And I liked the nod to Soma's big FU blue sword that you can find in that pirate ship from Aria of Sorrow.

I didn't get to grow up with classics like Castlevania 3, Castlevania Rondo of Blood, Symphony of the Night, or the Ps2 games, so many references in the previous show just flew over my head.

But this time I felt way more seen and validated! 😊
