One is physically superior in every way but already exhausted, the other is vulnerable but has help, a plan, and a bag full of tricks. We want to see what wins out, the sheer might and tenacity of a warrior monster, or sorcery, preparation, and nerves of steel.

Sorcery? Prep? Nerves of steel? Isaac didn't do anything to weaken Camilla. Sorcery & nerves of steel? He doesn't cast a single spell and he's got plot armor. Unless winged demons also can cast a barrier Isaac should be dead from that blast. At this point Isaac could solo dracula.
I just realized. Abel is so fucking strong, he CAUGHT Carmilla's blade with its full force against his hand. The fuck kinda boss enemy did Isaac summon him from?
As much as I hated Carmilla, I had to give her mad props and huge respect for this fight. She had a huge disadvantage, and her opponents greatly outnumbered her. Yet she still put up a great fight, and managed to go down on her own terms.
"go down on her own terms" my pale ass. She yelled "Fuck You, I Win" and stabbed herself for a kamikaze attack. That, sir, is nothing but a Certified Rage Quit.

Not only that, but they are viewing the fight completely differently. Carmilla chooses to take her life because she believes Isaac is fighting her out of revenge. In her mind, she "wins" because she denies him that vengeance. But she doesn't realize Isaac has come to a better understanding of the world and is no longer looking to destroy her out of vengeance, but out of cold justice. Carmilla doesn't seek to create, only to consume. Hence, as Isaac said: "The plan is now conquest." He doesn't care how she goes out, as long as she goes out. She isn't the goal anymore, she's the rock in the way of the finish line.
I've been a Castlevania fan since 1988, and NEVER would I have guessed that ISSAC would be my favorite character in a Castlevania adaptation. He has one of the best character arcs in ANY form of media.
This fight is even more awesome when you consider that each and every one of Carmilla's attacks basically have the power to instantly kill Issac, should they land.

Every season has a fight that really stands out and while the last season had A LOT of great battle animations (the day armor, ALL OF EPISODE 9) this one really stands not only cuz it’s the only one with a fight between main characters but the dramatic face off charge 0:22 it’s just so poetic. The animation is fluid but distorted and definitely stands out as the scene I remember the most
Eh the last "fight" to me wasn't really meant to be a fight, more of an epic... Moment. And stands up in its own way, but the Carmilla fight is my favorite one of the season for sure.
Couldn’t agree more! I remind when she charges and there’s this squeal in the background… I …. This fight is perfection! CarmiLla has quite the temper 🤣she’s so fascinating though. Hate she’s dead… BUT GLAD DRACULA and wifey are back…
Love how much this fight straddles the line to feel like a video game. Carmilla makes a ton of grunts and goes through attack phases as her HP goes down, but it still is clearly a tv scene. Really brilliantly directed.
Is anyone else getting Azula and Zuko vibes from their last Agni Kai? One person going all out and slowly losing it, while the other remains calm and collected with focused, polished attacks.
Kind of, but not quite. I think the main difference is that Isaac has always been a tactician when it comes to combat. I think if Isaac chose to fight Carmilla early in the series, it would probably look the same.
Even though she lost, Carmilla's battle skills are impressive AF. If Issac came after her without wearing her down first, those night creatures wouldn't have made a difference. I love both characters, but this win was definitely circumstantial. 👌 Fantasic animation, though!
shit she's a vampire with superhuman strength and speed. its crazy enough that Isaac was even able to hold his own against her with the help of his demons. especially considering all he has is a dinky little dagger against her sword.
Can we all just appreciate that yes carmilla went down but common she fought with extreme stamina, speed and strength and still took all the blows like a tank
No offense but Carmilla is a vampire, they can create their own speed n strength. What's more impressive is that Isaac is so calm he literally wasn't afraid and can actually block her light speed attack so easily. This shows Dracula chose very wisely in season 2

@@stephanvanderzee it was a Fair fight, did you people not see how many night creatures Carmilla killed? Isaac and carmilla were both using their powers, isaac is a forge master, the night creatures was his power, while Carmilla had her vampiric powers, a single hit can insta kill isaac he had his guard up the whole fight while carmilla was just raging
I absolutely love this. I don't think I've ever seen such a cinematic animation before. From the soundtrack, to how the scene rotates around the ongoing battle - something often seen in live action scenes, - this entire series was a masterpiece.
He pretty much more skilled than carmilla but her strenght and speed is outclass him by mile. -He never get his despite carmilla speed.. Thanks to abel too -He manage to outclass her in 1v1(not counting the power) where he slide off her grasp and slit her hand But yeah.. Vampire still stronger than human generally
@@mitodrudito5806 it wasnt a 1 vs 1 tho if it was one vs 1 carmilla wouldnt have been exhausted and she would have been able to use more of her skills instead of just recklessly attack in anger with her power. I love this fight ALOT, but it was not a 1 vs 1 and it wasnt fair either.
@@stephanvanderzee It wouldn't be fair if he faught her fresh 1v1 either. I think people are just saying he's more skilled than her. Not that he can solo her with vamp powers. lol
I know this fight scene was unreal, but major kudos to the voice actors. I come back to this fight scene occasionally to enjoy the artistry all around.
MAN! This entire series was great. The only thing better than this scene was the final fight when Trevor & Sypha came from behind Alucard and they started tearing up the enemies to the theme music.
I think it's because he wasn't just Fodder. The majority of them Isaac threw at her to wear her down, but Abel's mission seemed to be, "protect Isaac" so he did just enough to keep Isaac safe and support him.
It's his main "innocent devil" from castlevania curse of darkness. they brought in his signature buddy in the show to show his mastery and it's amazing.
Did you see those different flashes of Death, first when Camilla was trying to get to Issac through one of the night creature 1:39, and again at 2:40. I love the implication that Death has been manipulating Camilla from the start and all her ideas were her being influenced by Death to start a war that would lead to endless death and carnage, meanwhile he is also manipulating Saint Jermaine to revive Dracula to cause even more death. This entire time she said she was tired of being manipulated by old men, but Camilla was being manipulated by one the whole time.
Isaac knew that even with his Night Creatures-he was facing a very formidable opponent who was cornered, since the only way out for Carmilla was to fight. Isaac wisely avoided trying to seek out a coup de' main for most of the fight and concentrated on fighting Carmilla "asymmetrically". Using the Night Creatures plus his own blade to keep getting nucsiance hits in on Carmilla. Trying to fight-Carmilla head on and simply overpower her was dubious-even for the strongest Night Creatures. The emphasis was on wearing her down and surviving her big bag of Vampire Tricks because with every attempt she failed to kill Isaac she became more and more reckless... Isaac knew Carmilla's greatest weakness was her arrogance. The contempt that she held him in-a human and a mortal-made her habitually unable to "play it safe" during the fight and try to simply avoid Isaac and concentrate on wiping out his Night Creature Entourage first-then going for him last. Carmilla's impatience and frustration led to an increasing number of mistakes as she constantly overcommits to Hay Makers against Isaac that miss thanks to interference from the Night Creatures and Carmilla's own impatience. She's so single minded about killing Isaac that she takes her attention off his Monsters too much during the fight and the Night Creatures are thus able to dive in and land hit after hit at no risk to Isaac until Carmilla finally makes a big mistake too close to Isaac-who does not fail to seize the opportunity. From 1:49 on Carmilla is crippled. She is definitely going to die. She can still fight but only to delay the inevitable and vent more frustration. Winning is completely beyond her now and they both knew it; with every minute she will weaken rapidly until totally defenseless, and Isaac still has plenty of Night Creatures to hide behind. There is no hope. In Carmilla's twisted world of course, losing to a human let alone dying to one was unacceptable. So instead, she chooses to ice herself, in the ultimate rage quit...
See I have to disagree there. Isaac's armies was thousands strong, there was no way Carmilla could kill all of them before she succumbed to exhaustion. Her only chance was to take out Isaac and to do it quickly.
As someone who hated Carmilla, this was such a satisfying sequence: watching her lose everything she worked/used people for/schemed towards and get cut up until she came to the realization that she was going to die and her last words were interrupted.
Yeah I was just waiting for her to die It was so cathartic seeing all her ego and flair do nothing to help her against someone who could actually strategize
She was also a really fun villain, though, so watching her hulk out and slaughter the night creatures en masse was extremely cool. Satisfying in both the journey and the destination.
@@erin9322 Gonna have to agree to disagree on that one. I find her pretty boring and what frustrated at the fact that all of her siblings were more interesting and competent than she was, yet for some reason she was sin charge and getting all of the importance. I'm seriously Striga returns for Nocturne. That would be awesome.
@@maxkogan3785 Eh, you're allowed to disagree with me. I don't think Carmilla would have gotten the screen time/Season 4 boss status that she did if she weren't popular, and I know a lot of people who also loved to hate her, but art is allowed to mean different things to different people. =)
Carmilla was a powerful character in this show but like every strong character in this series, they're balanced out by their emotions and perceptions. This and the fight against Dracula are perfect examples of how fights are not just physical but also mental. No fight in this show was won with strength and power alone and that's why I love it.
listen the moment that first night creature blocked that kick to protect issac...i KNEW how this ended. The night creatures have evolved over the seasons however NONE are comparable to issac's control over his and their strength together. This was simply amazing to watch but sad it is over.
This is how a boss fight with minions in shows should be! Not a slogish one after another fight. Every minion was running in and going for attacks and overwhelming Carmilla and protecting their commander at the same time. Amazing fight.
They should have upped the fps a bit though , western animation has this habit of greatly dropping frames , even though anime also does this , it s not to the same extent and it s masked by other animation techniques , you will almost never notice the frame drops in anime but here it s really jarring , it s even worse in Nocturne. Also this fight looks almost as if it s done by Ufotable , just google some of Lancer s fights in fate or the Gyutaro fight in demon slayer , notice there are no fps drops or at least no noticeable ones
This is one of the most epic fights in Movie History. No doubt about that. There are some to be found in this series. Wished they would make a full movie for the Cinema.
I love how Isaac is just a normal human. His only magic is his dagger which I imagine deals some sort of magical damage and makes demons out of corpses. It doesn’t enhance his fighting ability, he still has to land the hits himself.
Fun fact: the two Night creatures that jump Carmilla and slice her up are the same ones that have been accompanying Isaac for most of his journey--they were even the ones who stood guard at the door when he spoke with the old blind man. This means that Isaac wasn't using just any Night Creatures to 3 v 1 Camilla, but specifically the ones that were the oldest and most experienced fighters. I feel like this makes the fight even more satisfying, as it shows how Isaac has total faith in his monsters because they've been alongside him for so long.
Carmilla was scarier than Dracula in many ways but I love that she was a badass even to the very end. I also really loved the way they gave Isaac such a spot light because his character development was amazing and this was such a good finalization
*Carmilla did the equivalent of flipping the Monopoly board and declaring herself the winner when half her stuff was mortgaged and Issac was chilling with Hotels from Kentucky Avenue to Boardwalk.*
I love the fact that they gave Carmella the proper respect . She was a beast of a fighter. Probably one for strongest vampires . Give her a thousand years and she could have probably reached Dracula power level ( when he was starving )
@@Bxyxox Half dead Dracula who hadn't fed in a whole year was still a 1000 times stronger than her. No amount of time would have made her anywhere near his power. Get a grip kid.
@abongilezolanipeterson5588 I don't know, man. She seemed pretty capable in this fight to the point I'd argue that in a 1 v 1 against blood-starved Dracula she could potentially hold out for awhile.
@@abongilezolanipeterson5588 This is a woke show. Carmilla would've curbed any Dracula easily. She's a raging feminist. Of course she would. He's a white man, she's an oppressed white woman. This is Netflix, buddy. When does a white man ever beat a white woman in a Netflix production? Why do you think they blackwashed Isaac and had him beating her? Because in woke ideology, only black men are above white women. You're using reason and logic. That's a mistake when you're running an autopsy on a Netflix production. You should use a political lens, not a realistic one.
Everyone talking about the night creatures. I love how Carmilla and Isaac ran at each other at the start of the battle, the same time, as if Carmilla wasn't infinite times faster (which she literally demonstrated later by trying to speed blitz him). But no, she chose to respect the 1v1 at run at him at the same speed so they could clash cinematically.
One thing that stood out away from the phenomenal fight sequence is how durable carmila's blade is. Her blade was fractured but was still sturdy to do insta night creature kills.
Carmilla is such a fascinating fighter to watch. Perhaps if she truly fought for her life, rather than her pride and lust for power, she might have won, or at least taken more of Isaac’s army out before she shattered, herself. Watch carefully how she makes war- Her blows possess power and grace in spades, but there is a sort of thrashing chaos to the actual moment of their execution. Carmilla fights like an angry child, as much as she fights like a seasoned warrior, monster, and ruler. Even at his lowest, Dracula’s blows entirely lacked that messiness. If she’d actually fully committed that sharp, psychopathic little mind of hers to mastering physical combat, maybe even bothered to respect and acknowledge Dracula long enough to learn from him, I wonder how much better she would have fared? So sad that a woman with so much potential let trauma and bitterness and obsession sour and destroy her to the point of disintegrating into a glorified, psychotic, tantruming meltdown in what could have been her prime as Vampire royalty. Castlevania has a great aptitude for making powerful, monstrous characters come across as very pitiful and tragic.
the best part about this fight is that Carmilla seemed to think issac gave a shit about her enough to kill herself to deny him the kill, not realizing that killing her was the point it didn't matter how. she wasted her life for her delusional pride and gave him exactly what he wanted
Carmilla was deprived of her greatest strength here, her allies. This fight goes the other way if just Lenore (the weakest) was helping. Meanwhile, Isaac's entire arc is that he has been forging ever stronger bonds with his own allies even as Carmilla drove hers away.
I don't care what anybody says, Carmilla was such a sick villain. Her fury was so exciting to watch, and when the blood hit her eyes it was absolutely electric.
OMG at 1:29 I just noticed that Carmilla used the Black Panther skill the same one used in Dawn of Sorrow. Maan this series is the greatest, it paid various homages and easter eggs to the original. This is why I love the Netflix adaptation of Castlevania.
That winged demon was MVP. Constantly read Carmillas attacks and kept Isaac alive
This demon(or familiar) was Isaac's "lifeguard", basically. If the creature dies , Isaac dies too.
Wish my support could keep me alive like that in league of legends 😅😅🤣🤣
I remember my primary concern during the explosion was if Wing-bro lived
I believe that devil is named Abel, he actually is in one of the games called Curse of Darkness, which Isaac and Hector are also introduced in. Hector actually looks like his in game counterpart while Isaac looks much different. They are also called “innocent devils” in the game too which is neat.
It’s amazing to see that Isaac’s most powerful creation got ADHD
I love how Carmilla was just about to give a speech but Isaac comes running at her so she just said f*** you.
Didn’t notice that lol

“Press F to shut Carmilla up”

Even though she lost, Carmilla's battle skills are impressive AF. If Issac came after her without wearing her down first, those night creatures wouldn't have made a difference. I love both characters, but this win was definitely circumstantial. 👌 Fantasic animation, though!
precisely
big brain isaac
And she was wearing heels
shit she's a vampire with superhuman strength and speed. its crazy enough that Isaac was even able to hold his own against her with the help of his demons. especially considering all he has is a dinky little dagger against her sword.
@@simonphoenix3789 At least his dagger is enchanted. If it was at least a short sword then it’d be even better
Quite possibly one of the best animated fights I have ever watched.
This is what makes castlevania great. The creativity that goes into these fights is top notch
Can we all just appreciate that yes carmilla went down but common she fought with extreme stamina, speed and strength and still took all the blows like a tank
No offense but Carmilla is a vampire, they can create their own speed n strength. What's more impressive is that Isaac is so calm he literally wasn't afraid and can actually block her light speed attack so easily. This shows Dracula chose very wisely in season 2
@@dragonrider1736 lol i swear u isaac fans cant help but deepthroat him. Isssc being calm while having a whole bunch of creatures to protect him aint nothin
@@botchedbyjeffreyjumaily4065 IKR it wasnt even a fair fight.. i love this fight cause of seeing Carmilla go full out and knowing full well she couldve handed his ass to him if she wasnt exhausted by all those damn night creatures she had to slay who just wouldnt stop coming i mean THE ENTIRE FLOOR WAS A POOL OF BLOOD FOR GODS SAKE-
@@stephanvanderzee it was a Fair fight, did you people not see how many night creatures Carmilla killed? Isaac and carmilla were both using their powers, isaac is a forge master, the night creatures was his power, while Carmilla had her vampiric powers, a single hit can insta kill isaac he had his guard up the whole fight while carmilla was just raging
@@dragonrider1736 isaac only survived cause of abel, nothing special of hom
I absolutely love this. I don't think I've ever seen such a cinematic animation before. From the soundtrack, to how the scene rotates around the ongoing battle - something often seen in live action scenes, - this entire series was a masterpiece.
See this, this is why summoners are op
Nah isaac leveled up his mobility and dexterity as well. The fact he hold up on his own for a few moments is quite badass as hell
He pretty much more skilled than carmilla but her strenght and speed is outclass him by mile.
-He never get his despite carmilla speed.. Thanks to abel too
-He manage to outclass her in 1v1(not counting the power) where he slide off her grasp and slit her hand
But yeah.. Vampire still stronger than human generally
@@mitodrudito5806 it wasnt a 1 vs 1 tho if it was one vs 1 carmilla wouldnt have been exhausted and she would have been able to use more of her skills instead of just recklessly attack in anger with her power. I love this fight ALOT, but it was not a 1 vs 1 and it wasnt fair either.
@@stephanvanderzee
It wouldn't be fair if he faught her fresh 1v1 either. I think people are just saying he's more skilled than her. Not that he can solo her with vamp powers. lol
It’s fair because it was his ability
The way the winged night creature and Isaac knew exactly what the other one was doing is masterful.
I know this fight scene was unreal, but major kudos to the voice actors.
I come back to this fight scene occasionally to enjoy the artistry all around.
MAN! This entire series was great. The only thing better than this scene was the final fight when Trevor & Sypha came from behind Alucard and they started tearing up the enemies to the theme music.
Man this nightcreature is savage. Others got destroyed but he stand against Carmilla.
Its abel
I think it's because he wasn't just Fodder. The majority of them Isaac threw at her to wear her down, but Abel's mission seemed to be, "protect Isaac" so he did just enough to keep Isaac safe and support him.
He would of been destroyed by carmilla 1v1
It's his main "innocent devil" from castlevania curse of darkness. they brought in his signature buddy in the show to show his mastery and it's amazing.
@@botchedbyjeffreyjumaily4065 if she wasn't a vampire she would get destroyed by Issac 1v1.
1:23 that 360 degree camera effect. *chef's kiss* (i consider it as a combination of both Sakuga and flex in animation)
Did you see those different flashes of Death, first when Camilla was trying to get to Issac through one of the night creature 1:39, and again at 2:40. I love the implication that Death has been manipulating Camilla from the start and all her ideas were her being influenced by Death to start a war that would lead to endless death and carnage, meanwhile he is also manipulating Saint Jermaine to revive Dracula to cause even more death. This entire time she said she was tired of being manipulated by old men, but Camilla was being manipulated by one the whole time.
They did so well with this animation. The colour design is amazing.
Isaac knew that even with his Night Creatures-he was facing a very formidable opponent who was cornered, since the only way out for Carmilla was to fight. Isaac wisely avoided trying to seek out a coup de' main for most of the fight and concentrated on fighting Carmilla "asymmetrically". Using the Night Creatures plus his own blade to keep getting nucsiance hits in on Carmilla. Trying to fight-Carmilla head on and simply overpower her was dubious-even for the strongest Night Creatures. The emphasis was on wearing her down and surviving her big bag of Vampire Tricks because with every attempt she failed to kill Isaac she became more and more reckless...
Isaac knew Carmilla's greatest weakness was her arrogance. The contempt that she held him in-a human and a mortal-made her habitually unable to "play it safe" during the fight and try to simply avoid Isaac and concentrate on wiping out his Night Creature Entourage first-then going for him last. Carmilla's impatience and frustration led to an increasing number of mistakes as she constantly overcommits to Hay Makers against Isaac that miss thanks to interference from the Night Creatures and Carmilla's own impatience. She's so single minded about killing Isaac that she takes her attention off his Monsters too much during the fight and the Night Creatures are thus able to dive in and land hit after hit at no risk to Isaac until Carmilla finally makes a big mistake too close to Isaac-who does not fail to seize the opportunity.
From 1:49 on Carmilla is crippled. She is definitely going to die. She can still fight but only to delay the inevitable and vent more frustration. Winning is completely beyond her now and they both knew it; with every minute she will weaken rapidly until totally defenseless, and Isaac still has plenty of Night Creatures to hide behind. There is no hope.
In Carmilla's twisted world of course, losing to a human let alone dying to one was unacceptable. So instead, she chooses to ice herself, in the ultimate rage quit...
See I have to disagree there. Isaac's armies was thousands strong, there was no way Carmilla could kill all of them before she succumbed to exhaustion. Her only chance was to take out Isaac and to do it quickly.
As someone who hated Carmilla, this was such a satisfying sequence: watching her lose everything she worked/used people for/schemed towards and get cut up until she came to the realization that she was going to die and her last words were interrupted.
Yeah I was just waiting for her to die It was so cathartic seeing all her ego and flair do nothing to help her against someone who could actually strategize
She was also a really fun villain, though, so watching her hulk out and slaughter the night creatures en masse was extremely cool. Satisfying in both the journey and the destination.
@@erin9322 Gonna have to agree to disagree on that one. I find her pretty boring and what frustrated at the fact that all of her siblings were more interesting and competent than she was, yet for some reason she was sin charge and getting all of the importance. I'm seriously Striga returns for Nocturne. That would be awesome.
@@maxkogan3785 Eh, you're allowed to disagree with me. I don't think Carmilla would have gotten the screen time/Season 4 boss status that she did if she weren't popular, and I know a lot of people who also loved to hate her, but art is allowed to mean different things to different people. =)
weird- like actually weird
It was Isaac himself who said "Don't confuse the power of a Forgemaster with that of an ordinary sorcerer."
Yes,but he said that in the game
@@MiniB79 Doesn't detract from my point.
Carmilla was a powerful character in this show but like every strong character in this series, they're balanced out by their emotions and perceptions.
This and the fight against Dracula are perfect examples of how fights are not just physical but also mental. No fight in this show was won with strength and power alone and that's why I love it.
Unpopular Opinion: The winged demon named Abel is Isaac’s Stand and it definitely shows.
Absolutely stunning visuals. I was just in awe when I first watched it.
listen the moment that first night creature blocked that kick to protect issac...i KNEW how this ended. The night creatures have evolved over the seasons however NONE are comparable to issac's control over his and their strength together. This was simply amazing to watch but sad it is over.
It was is innocent devil abel, look at his face.. Its like isaac stand. the ultimate monster created by forgemaster using his magic and part of him
I wonder what body/host he used to create that innocent devil. He is pretty unique. Don’t know if it matters what body he use to create him tho
And the way he fought in perfect tandem with them was amazing to watch. I love seeing things like that.
best fight soo far of entire serie.
This is how a boss fight with minions in shows should be! Not a slogish one after another fight. Every minion was running in and going for attacks and overwhelming Carmilla and protecting their commander at the same time. Amazing fight.
THERE IS A SEASON 4 OUT? WOOOOO! Thank you!
0:35 When your homie sees you getting peaced up a little too much in a 1v1.
This is my favourite episode in the entire show, the animation went too hard this fight and the music fits this moment so damn well
1 of the very few times an anime shows a fight without either outside interruptions (ending a fight) or cutaway back and forth
Love it
Not going to lie, as cool as this fight was the fact that no one slipped in the significant pool of blood is absurd.
And carmilla doing this shit in heels
@@gorb688 "Vampire Shenanigans" is what you call it
Don't think that's an issue for beings with this level of skill. A clumsy vampire? 😆
I like this way more than typical anime fights, they are still good but this is just outstanding for me
Even though it’s not technically anime
They should have upped the fps a bit though , western animation has this habit of greatly dropping frames , even though anime also does this , it s not to the same extent and it s masked by other animation techniques , you will almost never notice the frame drops in anime but here it s really jarring , it s even worse in Nocturne.
Also this fight looks almost as if it s done by Ufotable , just google some of Lancer s fights in fate or the Gyutaro fight in demon slayer , notice there are no fps drops or at least no noticeable ones
My two favorite characters.. so sad to see her demise but delighted that it was from a fight with Isaac
Is it bad that I think this is the best fight scene in the series??
This is one of the most epic fights in Movie History. No doubt about that. There are some to be found in this series. Wished they would make a full movie for the Cinema.
I love how he back the best jojo at the end of it all
Beautifully choreographed fight from start to finish
Just noticed that both Isaac and Carmilla are left handers! That or this may be a reverse picture. Great fight scene!
Lol or could be both
I love how Isaac is just a normal human. His only magic is his dagger which I imagine deals some sort of magical damage and makes demons out of corpses. It doesn’t enhance his fighting ability, he still has to land the hits himself.
1:29-1:40 one of the best rage moments I’ve ever seen from an anime in a while.
I love her screams!!! She’s like Sindel from Mortal Kombat
Fun fact: the two Night creatures that jump Carmilla and slice her up are the same ones that have been accompanying Isaac for most of his journey--they were even the ones who stood guard at the door when he spoke with the old blind man. This means that Isaac wasn't using just any Night Creatures to 3 v 1 Camilla, but specifically the ones that were the oldest and most experienced fighters. I feel like this makes the fight even more satisfying, as it shows how Isaac has total faith in his monsters because they've been alongside him for so long.
I wish we hadda chance to see more of Carmilla in action but I still loved what we got to see
Carmilla was scarier than Dracula in many ways but I love that she was a badass even to the very end. I also really loved the way they gave Isaac such a spot light because his character development was amazing and this was such a good finalization
I was hoping Erzsabet would be at least a quarter of the magnificence, terror, and tragedy the iconic Carmilla was. Alas.
For real, original is always better
Most satisfying Death & most Badass/Best Fight in the whole Series!
Isaac is so fucking GOATed in this series.
He has one of the greatest arcs in all of animation.
*Carmilla did the equivalent of flipping the Monopoly board and declaring herself the winner when half her stuff was mortgaged and Issac was chilling with Hotels from Kentucky Avenue to Boardwalk.*
Take a moment to aprecciate how much love these night creatures have for their forgemaster.
I love the fact that they gave Carmella the proper respect . She was a beast of a fighter. Probably one for strongest vampires . Give her a thousand years and she could have probably reached Dracula power level ( when he was starving )
@rexlecitak1 no she wouldn't have 😂
@@abongilezolanipeterson5588after a 1000 years? Yes she would lmao don’t be stupid cause you don’t like the character
@@Bxyxox Half dead Dracula who hadn't fed in a whole year was still a 1000 times stronger than her.
No amount of time would have made her anywhere near his power.
Get a grip kid.
@abongilezolanipeterson5588 I don't know, man. She seemed pretty capable in this fight to the point I'd argue that in a 1 v 1 against blood-starved Dracula she could potentially hold out for awhile.
@@abongilezolanipeterson5588 This is a woke show. Carmilla would've curbed any Dracula easily. She's a raging feminist. Of course she would. He's a white man, she's an oppressed white woman. This is Netflix, buddy. When does a white man ever beat a white woman in a Netflix production? Why do you think they blackwashed Isaac and had him beating her? Because in woke ideology, only black men are above white women.
You're using reason and logic. That's a mistake when you're running an autopsy on a Netflix production. You should use a political lens, not a realistic one.
Fun Fact: Carmilla is considered one of the first vampire stories which predates even Bram stoker's Dracula.
Everyone talking about the night creatures. I love how Carmilla and Isaac ran at each other at the start of the battle, the same time, as if Carmilla wasn't infinite times faster (which she literally demonstrated later by trying to speed blitz him). But no, she chose to respect the 1v1 at run at him at the same speed so they could clash cinematically.
Isaac was damn smart not to underestimate Carmilla. He sent hordes of monsters to exhaust and weaken her.
One thing that stood out away from the phenomenal fight sequence is how durable carmila's blade is. Her blade was fractured but was still sturdy to do insta night creature kills.
When ever i watch this battle i get emotional it feels real to me its so relatable issac is the definition between light and darkness he mastered it
Carmilla is such a fascinating fighter to watch. Perhaps if she truly fought for her life, rather than her pride and lust for power, she might have won, or at least taken more of Isaac’s army out before she shattered, herself.
Watch carefully how she makes war- Her blows possess power and grace in spades, but there is a sort of thrashing chaos to the actual moment of their execution. Carmilla fights like an angry child, as much as she fights like a seasoned warrior, monster, and ruler.
Even at his lowest, Dracula’s blows entirely lacked that messiness.
If she’d actually fully committed that sharp, psychopathic little mind of hers to mastering physical combat, maybe even bothered to respect and acknowledge Dracula long enough to learn from him, I wonder how much better she would have fared?
So sad that a woman with so much potential let trauma and bitterness and obsession sour and destroy her to the point of disintegrating into a glorified, psychotic, tantruming meltdown in what could have been her prime as Vampire royalty.
Castlevania has a great aptitude for making powerful, monstrous characters come across as very pitiful and tragic.
I love the shot of four night creatures coming in and issac waving his knife. Almost like a general commanding his army
I know Isaac is a badass, but we can't ignore the fact that Carmella was doing this in *freakin' HEELS.*
Fr lol.
Pretty impressive now that you mention it, but perhaps she has experience with such things. Vampires live multiple lifetimes after all.
@@JustADemon2023 yes when getting defeated by an opportunity slick like isaac
@@zaz315 Perhaps, or just being in a situation where she had to run around in heels to begin with multiple times.
When I first saw this I was like what Isaac is gonna give her a fair one but was glad he didn't she would have killed him if he did
😂😂😂 the first kick would have done the job
@@MailaClaire yeah, if that kick would have landed, it would have splattered Isaac's brain all over the place.
I considerer it fair because he was using his skill as forgemaster to orchestrate the attacks just the way she was using her vampire powers
There's no such thing as a fair fight. Especially against an evil vampire Karen that wants to take over the world.
@@jackolantern147 😂💯
Are we not gunna talk about how epic this music is
the best part about this fight is that Carmilla seemed to think issac gave a shit about her enough to kill herself to deny him the kill, not realizing that killing her was the point it didn't matter how. she wasted her life for her delusional pride and gave him exactly what he wanted
Exactly... he wasn't there to give her a speech. He had one job, and her ego helped him achieve his goal.
This series was sooooo good❤❤❤
Isaac was one of my favorite characters in this show.
Carmilla was deprived of her greatest strength here, her allies. This fight goes the other way if just Lenore (the weakest) was helping. Meanwhile, Isaac's entire arc is that he has been forging ever stronger bonds with his own allies even as Carmilla drove hers away.
I don't think Lenore was willing to help her anymore. Or else she would've gone after Carmilla instead of Hector.
i love how abel is the only one of issacs monsters that is matching carmila in raw physical might
This scene is better animated than the fight between Trevor and Death
And now I have to watch this series again!……….. for the fifth time……. I think 😅
I love how a lot of the fights end in a desperation/final attack just like in the games
Boa noite! Uma grande istoria, um dos melhores desenhos que já vi. A produção está de parabéns!!
My man Isaac got a stand on his side 0:35
I remember watching this and thought "maybe Dracula shouldnt have sent him to the desert"
I love how you see Death for just a second when Carmilla stabs herself. He's been here the whole time....
Pretty sure that's just her skeleton as her flesh melted off.
Easily one of the greatest fights in anime
I don't care what anybody says, Carmilla was such a sick villain. Her fury was so exciting to watch, and when the blood hit her eyes it was absolutely electric.
The best thing about being a devil forge master is you never fight alone
her "fuck you" when Isaac charges her interrupting her potential speech was perfect
0:5 and 1:00 are by far my favourite two bits
Não vejo uma cena como essa desde Kakashi vs Obito ficou MT foda
Gotta respect Carmilla for fighting in heels, that shit is not easy
Man I had to try on heels for a dare once and I fell down a stair case, she was fighting an army of hundreds in heels and on a slippery ass floor
OMG at 1:29 I just noticed that Carmilla used the Black Panther skill the same one used in Dawn of Sorrow. Maan this series is the greatest, it paid various homages and easter eggs to the original. This is why I love the Netflix adaptation of Castlevania.
She probably thought she was so superior to him not realizing he was trained by dracula
