Well, he is the son of vlad motherfucking tepes so its nlt that weird that he dindt get half killed with that whip Still, the use of tje finger and the smile was badass
@@Mephiles343 well the Belmonts have done eugenics on themselves constantly breeding with witches for example the belnades to other paranormal beings. The whip ain't a normal whip and neither, it can only harm paranormal entities and the Belmonts are the only ones to wield vampire killer through alchemy contract. The whip would kill regular people because it's a parasitic entity that was made out of Leon Belmont dead wife.
I love how Alucard's sword is stupidly and impractically long but it makes sense for him specifically. His superhuman strength makes the force on the sword tip a nonissue. And he doesn't unsheathe it manually, but telepathically so no point in having the hassle to take a 7ft sword out of it's 7ft scabbard.
Not unpractical actually. Rapier has similar length(approximately 1.5m) and considered one of the best dueling weapon in history. More so, you have more tip speed with longer swords because the tip travels more distance at the same time compared to handle.
Plus, we know it's an enchanted weapon, so we can assume that it's magically unbreakable, too. It managed to cut *through* Trevor's sword, despite being much thicker.
That sword was designed to be used only by Alucard but if anyone else use it would be very difficult because if someone else draws it would take 10 seconds but Alucard can draw half the amount of time or less
@@tyronenelson1349 it is neither of them and actually is better than what I assume you call good animation, may you give some exemples instead of just insulting for no reason?
I know I’m 4 years late but I haven’t seen anyone appreciating the *genius* behind a very short section of the fight choreography. Just before doing the finger trick to redirect the whip, Trevor throws a knife at Alucard’s lower body, making him jump to avoid it. This alone is *so* fucking smart. Alucard is super human, and has been blocking almost all of Trevor’s whip strikes so far. His insane strength and the grip he has just by standing on the ground means he isn’t being thrown around all that much, but once he’s in the air, super strength be damned, he’s now at the mercy of physics. The knife is just a ploy to get Alucard in the air, and when he is, Trevor gets to toss him into a wall like a pinball. I can’t help but just adore this tiny little thing because it makes so much sense tactically.
The best part though? They let you figure that out on your own. Nobody explained how badass it was and nobody had to point it out. The choreography along with the character work is so good that they are confident in letting the watcher work out the details. This show man, set a bar
I can imagine teenage Adrian/Alucard slipping out of the castle a boring winter's night and coming back from a few barfights now... Dracula raises an eyebrow at his son as Lisa sighs.
when you think about it a whip is actually a perfect weapon against a creature with heightened speed and reflexes like a vampire. Gives you reach and the tip of the whip can move faster than the speed of sound, so before bullets this really was a perfect weapon for a vampire hunter.
And yet it also has a glaring downside in that it's just asking for the vampire to grab it and pull it out of your hands, which he will because vampires are stronger.
@@dark7element To be fair Alucard is hardly a normal vampire since he's really only second to Dracula who makes even other vampires seem like children in comparison. Against most vampires they would probably not be able to catch it to pull it out of Trevor's hands and even Alucard couldn't just grab it out of the air at anytime even though he wasn't taking the fight seriously.
Lone Wolf well Alucard and literally any Belmont are the biggest heroes of the series, so I didn’t really mind Alucard and Trevor actually performing a proper vampire’s execution together. Also, Alucard’s kinda the only protagonist that’s one of himself, and even then he’s just lying in the shadows like a vampire typically does while the vampire hunters simply do their job, and that stays true to this series. I did kinda wonder why we didn’t get Grant and I kinda see why Death was left out. The horseman of demise taking orders from a simple demon. It could easily act as a line in the sand, showing how much power Dracula has, but it still won’t make too much sense.
I must have watched this scene around 10 times, and only now I realized that Trevor is clearly ambidexterous... He wields the whip in his right hand, takes out a sword with his left, and between 1:25 and 1:35 he also switches hands twice. These little details make the animation so much more enjoyable.
I think to a certain extend any animated character is ambidextrous since animators can simply switch their dominant hand to whatever is more convenient angle-to-angle. But I like the in-lore explanation that as a Belmont he’s trained to be the most skilled no matter the weapon or hand he uses
@@NTWoo95 Well this is definitely not a case of character's weapon teleporting from one hand to another in between shots (as would be the case if animators were lazy and just wanted it to look better from a certain angle). Rather, both hand swaps happen in the *middle* of an action shot (1:29 and then 1:32), so IMO Trevor's ambidexterity is 100% intentional.
@Kraves Nothing is fair in love and war. You bicker about honor, your just a sore loser, you bicker about winning at all cost, your a cheat. Honor or not, a fight is a fight.
@Kraves Honor is a bullshit, self limiting ideology. Survival first, foremost and at all costs. Death does not discriminate on how it's done, the end result is all that matters.
@alvi syahri What? So being honorable in a life or death fight = being good? Death doesn't care about ideals, it takes without discrimination. I appreciate shows that has characters who know this and is willing to do what they can to live. More so that they don't care to be shamed as being evil or dishonorable for some childish ideal by people who've never fought for their lives.
@alvi syahri What the hell are you talking about? We're talking in the context of a life or death fight not politics and genocide. And when I say death doesn't discriminate, well does it not? Your ideals won't help you live, it's your willingness to cast aside those ideals to do what you can to survive that will. Be shamed, who cares. You continue to live.
@ahmadadnan4773vampire killer is the whip. Morning star is the metal one. His comment doesnt have anything to do with the video, but youre the one spouting nonsense
Headcannon i read on another video: When trevor knees Adrian in the nuts, he actually felt the pain but pulled himself together in milliseconds just to scare Trevor.
But does that actually work in real life. The way how Trevor used his finger to move a portion of the Whip to the direction towards the floating Alucard.
I think the fights in this series are kinda slow. They are great but if the movements were a bit faster they would certainly look great. If you put the video on x1,25 speed you'll see it looks much better
@@e.g2896 The fights would lose all their weight if it were faster. It's not like two metahumans are going at it, just a man with a whip and a broadsword versus a vampire.
@Stinkmeaner Or do it like the monogatari series where the whole show is basically just talking. If i watch an action anime tho i want action and not 5min of talking in between i agree
1:23 I just realized when Trevor and Adrian (Alucard) were swordfighting, Trevor effortlessly switches between his left and right hand. So either Trevor is ambidextrous or he's that good.
@@SundownTE that's about what I always imagined while watching this show. There are several other small details like this that just add to Trevor and show off his true skill.
@@finnthomas8084 Yup, a lot of people don't realise that whips can easily dismember fingers and tear a hole in your stomach and spill your guts out, it's why they always make sure to whip the back instead of literally anywhere else
@@dohickey7184 Many don't realize the sound of the 'crack' is the whip breaking the sound barrier, not it hitting something. Speed equals force, and it looks like Trevor always aims the fastest part of the whip to strike with. At 0:57 he was aiming a piece of hard leather traveling at Mach 1 right at Alucard's face.
I love how Trevor was easily outmatched in raw physical power, speed and whatnot but with his sheer skills and experience he showed Alucard even he can put up a fair challenge against the likes of powerful vampires.
@@arizonaranger2333 yeah I think there are a lot of times alucard could have killed him if that was what he really wanted. Like when he dropped his sword at the end?? Dude was just being dramatic lol he never wanted to kill the guy. Trevor still put up a good fight however
I fucking love how Trevor knew immediately that Alucard was aiming for his back when he used superspeed. Really tells you that the Belmont knows his way around the creatures of the night. Also love that, say, Sypha didn't do the stupid narrating shit like: "GASP! Trevor turned around because he knew Alucard was going to appear behind him!". Show, don't tell, guys.
Seriously that shit irritated me so much when I tried watching Naruto (both the original series and Shippuden). During any given battle, the two sides would duke it out for a few minutes, then one side would do something that seemed like the killing blow, but then NOPE! They'd stop to narrate why the attack failed, or a bystander would give commentary as to what went wrong etc. Drove me nuts lol.
luis lopez That’s so true. That would make sense. Though it did seem like he took quite a hit when Trevor got that single whip strike when Alucard was in the air
i mean, one of them is a vampire hunter and the other literally a vampire...sleeping in something that matches the description of draculas castle non the less...it does make sense for them to fight.
Isn't every body a man-child in some way or the other? And I don't think schoolyard fights have any deathly ramifications. .lol..Well , I guess the beholder sees what they want to see to make a character likeable to them...
0:13 - "Belmont, you can't do this!" 0:37 - "You can't do this, Belmont!" Try one more arrangement, Sypha. He might appeal to one of them. edit - It's March, 2022. You guys are whack
@@MrBills5700 The crazy thing is, this isn't even an anime. It was done by the same people that brought Fairly Oddparents in to existence. Goes to show what can be done when people truly care about the subject matter.
1:35 You can actually do this in Symphony of the Night if you have the Alucard Sword equipped. Down, Quarter Circle Forward then Square (or Circle if you equipped the Alucard Sword there for some reason). I am genuinely impressed how the animators included this attack here among a lot of other nods to the game.
I'm late to the party, and I see this video was posted 6y ago, but I can't believe you only have this much likes and no one else bothered to point this out in the past 5 years before your comment. I was hoping Alucard was gonna do this move, then Bam! Goosebumps. I'm hoping Alucard will do some Vorpal Blade/Crissaegrim moves soon, either in Nocturne or SOTN when Netflix does make it, but that may be too much to ask lol.
The creators taking stuff like that directly from the game shows how passionate they are for the video game series. An amazing show. I got goosebumps in the new season when Richter’s theme came on!
I love how when Alucard tries to superspeed, they go very subtle on Trevor reading him like a book. The first attack is instinctually reacted to (Trevor immediately turns around and blocks moments before Alucard shows up to swing), and the delayed attack is likewise predicted to the point that Alucard is forced to block instead. No exposition from anyone to point this out like most shonen anime would, just fleeting moments to pick up on and Trevor's shit-eating grin after Alucard notices he nearly lost his head. Trevor wasn't grandstanding when he said earlier in the show that he's dealt with fucking vampires.
In the game, the flash stab has pretty limited utility offensively as it really goes behind. That being said, it's a nice way to translate it here since it means that it is far more useful as a combat trick.
@@Psycho_Tek For Alucard's actual power, yes. He was breaking other Vampires with his punches in season 2. He's holding back for sure, however, Trevor is definitely tougher than your average human, so is Sypha, they both took hits from Dracula and survived in season 2.
-Do you have a God to put a last prayer to Belmont -Yeah, 'Dear God please don't let the vampire's guts ruin my good tunic' *knifed Alucard* -That won't stop me from tearing your throat out -killing you was the point,living through it is a luxury
One of my favorite scenes in the show, showing us character traits rather than telling us. You got Trevor, who understandably though mistakenly thinks this is Dracula at first. And there is Alucard, laughing off the notion that this jackass that woke him up is one of the legendary Belmonts. While Trevor is fighting at 100%, you can see Alucard completely underestimates him. He starts off by casually floating over, thinking it will be a quick kill and gets a shot in the belly by the whip. You can tell it hurt like a bitch from his reaction, only for Trevor to tell him to "Stone the fuck up." and then proceeds to put in on the defensive with the Belmont clearly dictating the flow of fight. I really praise the animators here who were in charge of the faces, cause you can see it all in Alucard's expressions going from relaxed arrogance at the beginning, anger with being put on the back foot, to surprised concern when he had to use BOTH HANDS when push Trevor back.
Deixa eu te contar um segredo que vc n percebeu em sua análise. ALUCARD SÓ ESTAVA TESTANDO O TREVO. SE ALUCARD QUISESSE REALMENTE MATAR O TREVO TERIA FEIO FACILMENTE.

The voice acting of all the characters is phenomenal - you can basically hear how they sweat and force the words out of their mouth when they talk when they are fighting. Phenomenal work. Just a great series.
I would love to see a team up between Geralt/Regis and Trevor/Alucard/Sypha with the five of them just killing vampires as well as various other monsters.
I just love how this looks so beautifully detailed while at the same time having a higher framerate and actual lip syncing. Americans should do anime more often.
@@enumaelish9193 I get that anime is literally just Japanese cartoons, but 'Mericans have picked up the exact style because they liked it, this isn't a cartoon, it's an anime.

You sound stupid, he had to punch him off because right after he made that statement Trevor still went and head butted him, or are you blind or some shit?
It astounds me how the animation still amazes me even though it has been years after I initially saw it. This series is one of many underrated classics we have today.
its the avatar thing, animation technology hasn't gotten better (to a degree, once we had photoreal it kinda stopped) it has just gotten easier and faster. Means old shit can and often is better than new shit
Honestly, I'd say it's less the animation, and more the combination of well, everything that makes Castlevania fights memorable. Design, characters, choreography, composition, weapons. It's very rare we see actual full on fights using whips or fluid weapons.
@@rory8182 While I agree, I wouldn't say that this series is old. It's only 6 years old. A lot of the modern animation techniques used today were used in 2017 as well. When I think of "old shit", I think of animation from the 90s and beyond.
@@onghaihoang335 Just make sure your stood up high enough on something and punch them off the edge, they should go 20 ft at least if you try hard enough. edit: brain dead spelling mistakes and corrections
@@JacOfArts That can't work. In order for the tension of the rope to be sufficient for such an attack, Trevor needs to deliver inhumane torque and speed due to how long that whip is.
I love how at 1:42 Alucard looks annoyed at how Trevor predicted his attack. This fight somewhat foreshadows his fight with Dracula. Where Dracula also predicts his speed attack and wrecks him
@@joey7395 Absolutely. His punch at the end could have taken his head off. His "have some class" moment he was clearly still just toying with Trevor. After the whip was gone he was just messing with Trevor the whole time.
Robert Belgrade is the very definition of what Alucard is supposed to sound like; brooding, poetic, dark and elegant. Plus the deepness of his voices sells it more. But James Callis does a brilliant job as well, with his quick barbs to Trevor and elegant poise of diction.
I played Castlevania 3 when I was nine. When I got to the Alucard fight, I had no reason to believe he wasn't Dracula. His Sprite during the fight looked exactly like him, he had similar attacks and you could only hit him in the head. It was only after you beat him that he revealed to be Dracula's son. This show pretty much nailed how that went down for me.
Castlevania, as a whole, is a masterclass of fantasy storytelling in an animated environment. I knew this when we saw Alucard and Trevor fight - it has been proven true over four seasons.
@@RookHMA I want a whip weapon and a Nemean Cestus style Gauntlet weapon, honestly. I like what's in the game already, but I feel there's opportunities here.
@William Baker if you think about it, yes a whip is it not the most effective at killing people, but its great for surprise and creating fear, and it can still cut skin and soft tissue however, the steep learning curve and the inability to "whip" somebody dead quickly does leave room for improvement thats the belmonts use it to kill monsters (cuz at the point its like herding cattle, except in this case the cattle explode)
and Carmilla seems to be the only one that does indeed fangirl over Dracula. At least in the canon of the games she does, she practically sucks his dick throughout the entire series, especially in Lords of Shadow where she starts hitting on him before he’s even a vampire. I guess that’s just in her nature as an indeed seductive vampire but she loves Dracula the most (at the time he was known as Gabriel Belmont, for those who are unaware).
Everyone keeps downplaying Trevor. Are we all watching the same fight? Neither one was going all out. Belmonts use prep/weapons/skill. Alucard uses his vamp powers. It's as if no one remembers the next scene. Great show though.
Gonna watch this show soon, but I know Alucard isn't using most of his powers, magic or his equipment, he's probably weakened. Trevor should beat him at this stage in this situation if he was less careless with the Vampire Killer, I agree he's not going all out.
@@Spaced92 Trevor didn't have Morning Star yet, he had the upper hand when he was using the whip, but as soon as he was forced to fight close up he lost the advantage. Even the strongest humans can't physically match up to Alucard's strength. The only way to win is to outplay him (which Trevor did with the dagger at the end of the fight)
I was gonna say the same thing. Everyone calls this a win for Alucard, when in reality it was a draw. Trevor was ready to stake Alucard and Alucard was ready to rip Trevor to shreds
@@joelemaine Of course. Trevor was nerfed. The Belmonts are historically known to defeat Dracula without aid but the show didn't showcase Trevor fully based on the game's canon.
Fantastic character.. I mean he was a good fighter but he wasn't great, he had flaws as a person as well, he wasn't crazy smart neither. He was a rather relatable person..
Wanna talk about the amount of skill Trevor has with that whip? Like in movies and stuff no one uses a whip with as much control as Trevor and it’s so dope to see
Also worth noting, He blocked. Trevor took the swing, meaning he predicted the strike or where Alucard will appear, and reacted to it immedietely. The show really has subtly screaming ways to say that Trevor knows how to fight vampires and the like.
I love how they make the impact of getting hit by the whip look,really shows how much power Trevor puts into it....was especially hilarious when he tagged Alucard mid-tirade and you heard a very audible "oomph"
One of the things I can always appreciate is how Trevor is clearly ambidextrous as he uses both hands during the fight constantly. I enjoy these little things that show us how Trevor is able to keep up with magic users and vampires, you almost HAVE to be ambidextrous as you need to have every single part of your body at work when fighting superhumans and even then when Trevor is at his physical peak he still fatigues faster and easier than alucard and sypha because he's just a normal human at the end of the day
@@seichhornchen Honestly, I'd say ambidexterity is more a mental thing than physical. Most people can use both limbs simultaneously. But we are able to do that by considering the task both our arms are doing as a single task with different actions. If I had a pin an example, think of a pianist. They are using both hands and generally aren't mirroring actions. But someone who is ambidextrous could say, play the piano with one hand while solving a Rubik's cube with the other.
Tri3dgE027 but being the son of Dracula just like how spoiler alert!!!!! It hit Dracula and didn’t blow him up isn’t Alucard a special kind of vampire also
I don't think anybody has mentioned this yet, but props to the foley artists who worked on this fight. The sound of the blow traveling along the whip at 1:04, the dull thuds of Alucard hitting the pillar and then the floor at 1:07, the slap of leather curling around Alucard's blade at 1:14, and the clatter of the sword hitting the ground at 2:36 -- all so real and so perfectly tuned to the environment and the tone of the fight. Such attention to detail really sold me on this fight scene. Well done.
I love Netflix. They didn't have to give us a shirtless Alucard fighting and getting kneed in the sack. And yet they gave it to us anyway. Fucking. Y e s .
I gotta say, its not often I get teary, but that shit really got to me. Finally after all the fighting, it finally hit him that he really lost both his parents.
Normally he got a 300 years sleep, and have to wake up to kill a resurrected Dracula alone. He meets friends, accept his past, and become a fucking secret agent to kick evil ass.
Years late to the commentary, but among the many parts of this fight that other folks have talked about, I think my favourite detail is the swipe Alucard took to Trevor's neck. It clearly shows the level of adaptability that Trevor has. Why? Alucard's sword is long. Longer than normal swords. If Trevor had backed away as one would in a normal sword fight, he'd have lost right there. He backed away far enough to avoid it. Which is why he lost his stability and was at a disadvantage after that. Brilliant choreography on the animators part. Also the way Alucard uses the weight and length of his sword to his advantage by whipping it around his center of gravity for maximum attack power. Pure physics. MAN, I need to watch this show again!
VC SÓ ESQUECEU DE DETALHAR QUE ALUCARD NÃO ESTAVA LUTANDO A SÉRIO NÉ. TANTO Q QUANDO DERRUBA TREVOR COM UM SOCO ELE PODERIA TER FINALIZADO A LUTA ALI. Mas ele joga sua espada fora e vai agarra trevo cm as mão. Só aí mostra a SUPERIORIDADE DE ALUCARD

Not unpractical actually. Rapier has similar length(approximately 1.5m) and considered one of the best dueling weapon in history. More so, you have more tip speed with longer swords because the tip travels more distance at the same time compared to handle.
Plus, we know it's an enchanted weapon, so we can assume that it's magically unbreakable, too. It managed to cut *through* Trevor's sword, despite being much thicker.

Alucard is super human, and has been blocking almost all of Trevor’s whip strikes so far. His insane strength and the grip he has just by standing on the ground means he isn’t being thrown around all that much, but once he’s in the air, super strength be damned, he’s now at the mercy of physics. The knife is just a ploy to get Alucard in the air, and when he is, Trevor gets to toss him into a wall like a pinball.
I can’t help but just adore this tiny little thing because it makes so much sense tactically.
The best part though? They let you figure that out on your own. Nobody explained how badass it was and nobody had to point it out. The choreography along with the character work is so good that they are confident in letting the watcher work out the details. This show man, set a bar

@@diamondw.5468
With how season 3 was, I don't think him being mistaken for a girl was the problem lmao
when you think about it a whip is actually a perfect weapon against a creature with heightened speed and reflexes like a vampire. Gives you reach and the tip of the whip can move faster than the speed of sound, so before bullets this really was a perfect weapon for a vampire hunter.
Also helps you keep your distance
and if used right can give you a 360 degrees defensive circle
And yet it also has a glaring downside in that it's just asking for the vampire to grab it and pull it out of your hands, which he will because vampires are stronger.
@@dark7element To be fair Alucard is hardly a normal vampire since he's really only second to Dracula who makes even other vampires seem like children in comparison. Against most vampires they would probably not be able to catch it to pull it out of Trevor's hands and even Alucard couldn't just grab it out of the air at anytime even though he wasn't taking the fight seriously.

Its enchanted, and they taught Belmont’s how to sword fight to compensate.
Season 1 - Great
Season 2 - *Incredible*
Chris Toro animation: *JOJO LIKE*
KONO DIO DA daily WRYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
Ye, but no Grant, no Death, and Alucard taking the role of the protagonist were huge turn offs for me.
Still, really good season.
Season 3 *GOD*
Lone Wolf well Alucard and literally any Belmont are the biggest heroes of the series, so I didn’t really mind Alucard and Trevor actually performing a proper vampire’s execution together. Also, Alucard’s kinda the only protagonist that’s one of himself, and even then he’s just lying in the shadows like a vampire typically does while the vampire hunters simply do their job, and that stays true to this series. I did kinda wonder why we didn’t get Grant and I kinda see why Death was left out. The horseman of demise taking orders from a simple demon. It could easily act as a line in the sand, showing how much power Dracula has, but it still won’t make too much sense.
I must have watched this scene around 10 times, and only now I realized that Trevor is clearly ambidexterous...
He wields the whip in his right hand, takes out a sword with his left, and between 1:25 and 1:35 he also switches hands twice.
These little details make the animation so much more enjoyable.
Definitely. It's necessary for Belmonts. His son was one of those best Belmonts, Simon.
This is also very apparent in season 4, where he constantly switched sword hands
And that honestly makes sense for a vampire hunter to be ambidextrous, fighting a creature with two weapons would make it easier in a fight
I think to a certain extend any animated character is ambidextrous since animators can simply switch their dominant hand to whatever is more convenient angle-to-angle.
But I like the in-lore explanation that as a Belmont he’s trained to be the most skilled no matter the weapon or hand he uses
@@NTWoo95 Well this is definitely not a case of character's weapon teleporting from one hand to another in between shots (as would be the case if animators were lazy and just wanted it to look better from a certain angle). Rather, both hand swaps happen in the *middle* of an action shot (1:29 and then 1:32), so IMO Trevor's ambidexterity is 100% intentional.
Here's the thing, if you're fighting for your life there's no such thing as dirty fighting.
Amen to that!
@Kraves Nothing is fair in love and war. You bicker about honor, your just a sore loser, you bicker about winning at all cost, your a cheat. Honor or not, a fight is a fight.
@Kraves Honor is a bullshit, self limiting ideology. Survival first, foremost and at all costs. Death does not discriminate on how it's done, the end result is all that matters.
@alvi syahri What? So being honorable in a life or death fight = being good? Death doesn't care about ideals, it takes without discrimination. I appreciate shows that has characters who know this and is willing to do what they can to live. More so that they don't care to be shamed as being evil or dishonorable for some childish ideal by people who've never fought for their lives.
@alvi syahri What the hell are you talking about? We're talking in the context of a life or death fight not politics and genocide. And when I say death doesn't discriminate, well does it not? Your ideals won't help you live, it's your willingness to cast aside those ideals to do what you can to survive that will. Be shamed, who cares. You continue to live.

You can actually do this in Symphony of the Night if you have the Alucard Sword equipped. Down, Quarter Circle Forward then Square (or Circle if you equipped the Alucard Sword there for some reason). I am genuinely impressed how the animators included this attack here among a lot of other nods to the game.
One of my favorite moves in that game, I peeped right away when he used it in this fight 🐐🤜🏿🤛🏿😎
I'm late to the party, and I see this video was posted 6y ago, but I can't believe you only have this much likes and no one else bothered to point this out in the past 5 years before your comment. I was hoping Alucard was gonna do this move, then Bam! Goosebumps.
I'm hoping Alucard will do some Vorpal Blade/Crissaegrim moves soon, either in Nocturne or SOTN when Netflix does make it, but that may be too much to ask lol.
The creators taking stuff like that directly from the game shows how passionate they are for the video game series. An amazing show. I got goosebumps in the new season when Richter’s theme came on!
I love how when Alucard tries to superspeed, they go very subtle on Trevor reading him like a book. The first attack is instinctually reacted to (Trevor immediately turns around and blocks moments before Alucard shows up to swing), and the delayed attack is likewise predicted to the point that Alucard is forced to block instead.
No exposition from anyone to point this out like most shonen anime would, just fleeting moments to pick up on and Trevor's shit-eating grin after Alucard notices he nearly lost his head. Trevor wasn't grandstanding when he said earlier in the show that he's dealt with fucking vampires.
To be fair, when someone you’re fighting suddenly vanishes, they’re likely going for a flank.
@@Pastamist Or like i saw a lot of times
Go forward,vanish then be closer to you hitting(literally in any way cuz i won't be specific)
Not to mention that Dracula didn't even catch on to super speed that quickly.
In the game, the flash stab has pretty limited utility offensively as it really goes behind. That being said, it's a nice way to translate it here since it means that it is far more useful as a combat trick.
@@Pastamist true
“Have some class this isn’t a bar fight.” 2:30 proceeds to punch Trevor xD

@@Psycho_Tek For Alucard's actual power, yes. He was breaking other Vampires with his punches in season 2. He's holding back for sure, however, Trevor is definitely tougher than your average human, so is Sypha, they both took hits from Dracula and survived in season 2.

I hate auto text sometimes. I'll edit it
One of my favorite scenes in the show, showing us character traits rather than telling us. You got Trevor, who understandably though mistakenly thinks this is Dracula at first. And there is Alucard, laughing off the notion that this jackass that woke him up is one of the legendary Belmonts. While Trevor is fighting at 100%, you can see Alucard completely underestimates him.
He starts off by casually floating over, thinking it will be a quick kill and gets a shot in the belly by the whip. You can tell it hurt like a bitch from his reaction, only for Trevor to tell him to "Stone the fuck up." and then proceeds to put in on the defensive with the Belmont clearly dictating the flow of fight.
I really praise the animators here who were in charge of the faces, cause you can see it all in Alucard's expressions going from relaxed arrogance at the beginning, anger with being put on the back foot, to surprised concern when he had to use BOTH HANDS when push Trevor back.
Yes, yes, yes to everything you said! 100 kudos to the animators! This series is a gift.
*"This jackass that woke him up..."* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I played Castlevania 3 when I was nine. When I got to the Alucard fight, I had no reason to believe he wasn't Dracula. His Sprite during the fight looked exactly like him, he had similar attacks and you could only hit him in the head. It was only after you beat him that he revealed to be Dracula's son. This show pretty much nailed how that went down for me.
Castlevania, as a whole, is a masterclass of fantasy storytelling in an animated environment. I knew this when we saw Alucard and Trevor fight - it has been proven true over four seasons.
I never thought that the whip would be an effective weapon for monster hunting...boy was I wrong
...I want a whip weapon in Monster Hunter now...
@@KyRex1783 LOL That would be sick
@@KyRex1783 there's a whip in the manga
@@RookHMA I want a whip weapon and a Nemean Cestus style Gauntlet weapon, honestly. I like what's in the game already, but I feel there's opportunities here.
@William Baker if you think about it, yes a whip is it not the most effective at killing people, but its great for surprise and creating fear, and it can still cut skin and soft tissue
however, the steep learning curve and the inability to "whip" somebody dead quickly does leave room for improvement
thats the belmonts use it to kill monsters (cuz at the point its like herding cattle, except in this case the cattle explode)
Why this series filled with so many hot bois
Why not???

Fangirling intensifies
and Carmilla seems to be the only one that does indeed fangirl over Dracula. At least in the canon of the games she does, she practically sucks his dick throughout the entire series, especially in Lords of Shadow where she starts hitting on him before he’s even a vampire. I guess that’s just in her nature as an indeed seductive vampire but she loves Dracula the most (at the time he was known as Gabriel Belmont, for those who are unaware).
Not as much skin tight leather as tradition would demand, but you’re still right.
Godbrand makes me swoon 😍😍😍
"Please this isn't a bar fight, have some class"
Lmaoo thats pretty savage
it turns out he has a small dick lol that's why he did not felt anything

This is the animation of the first season and it only got better afterwards. It's insane
Everyone keeps downplaying Trevor. Are we all watching the same fight? Neither one was going all out. Belmonts use prep/weapons/skill. Alucard uses his vamp powers. It's as if no one remembers the next scene. Great show though.
Gonna watch this show soon, but I know Alucard isn't using most of his powers, magic or his equipment, he's probably weakened. Trevor should beat him at this stage in this situation if he was less careless with the Vampire Killer, I agree he's not going all out.
@@Spaced92 Trevor didn't have Morning Star yet, he had the upper hand when he was using the whip, but as soon as he was forced to fight close up he lost the advantage. Even the strongest humans can't physically match up to Alucard's strength. The only way to win is to outplay him (which Trevor did with the dagger at the end of the fight)
I was gonna say the same thing. Everyone calls this a win for Alucard, when in reality it was a draw. Trevor was ready to stake Alucard and Alucard was ready to rip Trevor to shreds
You do realize if Alucard was fighting with Trevor the same way he fought Dracula in the 3rd season this fight would have been over quicky
@@joelemaine Of course. Trevor was nerfed. The Belmonts are historically known to defeat Dracula without aid but the show didn't showcase Trevor fully based on the game's canon.
Trevor is the coolest character. He was awesome in this fight
Fantastic character.. I mean he was a good fighter but he wasn't great, he had flaws as a person as well, he wasn't crazy smart neither. He was a rather relatable person..
armst012 he’s just the human working with his hands in their trio.
I like watching him use his whip. Those moves are awesome!
Wanna talk about the amount of skill Trevor has with that whip? Like in movies and stuff no one uses a whip with as much control as Trevor and it’s so dope to see
I will never tire of hearing Trevor say "Floating vampire Jesus"
1:40 was cool af look at his eyes when he appears
Also worth noting, He blocked. Trevor took the swing, meaning he predicted the strike or where Alucard will appear, and reacted to it immedietely. The show really has subtly screaming ways to say that Trevor knows how to fight vampires and the like.
1:02 the animation of that jump just feels nice
I just wish it didn’t look like my boy alucard had a thong on
Directly followed by that oh-so deliciously choreographed whip pimp slap. Marvelous.

Down, Up + X
I think is Alucard's super jump in Castlevania SymphonyOfTheNight
^.^"
The thong helps him feel confident
I love how they make the impact of getting hit by the whip look,really shows how much power Trevor puts into it....was especially hilarious when he tagged Alucard mid-tirade and you heard a very audible "oomph"
Alucard: I have a really long sword.
Trevor: that is nice, good thing my whip is longer.
0:16 Alucard: You got nothing but insults do you? I am tired little [about to insult him]
*[gets whipped]*
Alucard: You got nothing but insults do you? I tired little.. *PILE OF SECRETS*
Trevor: *ENOUGH TALK*
1:38
Trevor attempts “the high ground”.
Alucard uses “teleport” it’s very effective.
2:02 "Oh! Your poor wife!"
Nice reference LOL
Funny, in the LatAm dub Alucard is voiced by the same guy that voices Deadpool.
The Mexigod Fan of Anime well ain’t that coincidence LOL
Or husband
😆😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😂😂 *cardiac arrest*
One of the things I can always appreciate is how Trevor is clearly ambidextrous as he uses both hands during the fight constantly. I enjoy these little things that show us how Trevor is able to keep up with magic users and vampires, you almost HAVE to be ambidextrous as you need to have every single part of your body at work when fighting superhumans and even then when Trevor is at his physical peak he still fatigues faster and easier than alucard and sypha because he's just a normal human at the end of the day
It's probably also insurance in case he loses an arm which in his line of work, is probably something you should expect.
Aren't most trained fighters functionally, if not natively, ambidextrous?
@@seichhornchen Honestly, I'd say ambidexterity is more a mental thing than physical. Most people can use both limbs simultaneously. But we are able to do that by considering the task both our arms are doing as a single task with different actions.
If I had a pin an example, think of a pianist. They are using both hands and generally aren't mirroring actions. But someone who is ambidextrous could say, play the piano with one hand while solving a Rubik's cube with the other.
ALUCARD SÓ N MATOU TREVOR PQ N QUIS ISSO É MOSTRADO O TEMPO TODO NA LUTA
0:19 Lets face it, if Trevor had the MorningStar Alucard would of been the new coat of paint for the walls.
Yh but I don't think Alucard is even fighting him seriously. Plus he just awoke from a year nap
Plus, does the Morning Star actually harm Alucard that badly? wouldn't his human part make him a little more resilient against it?
Tri3dgE027 but being the son of Dracula just like how spoiler alert!!!!! It hit Dracula and didn’t blow him up isn’t Alucard a special kind of vampire also
@@The_ThirdRaikage well technically, Dracula did blow up....it just didnt kill him. Instead it hit him for 10 HP.
Duh
I love the sound Alucard’s sword makes, it really gives you a feel for just how sharp it is.
"Dear god, please don't let the vampire's guts ruin my good tunic."
I don't think anybody has mentioned this yet, but props to the foley artists who worked on this fight. The sound of the blow traveling along the whip at 1:04, the dull thuds of Alucard hitting the pillar and then the floor at 1:07, the slap of leather curling around Alucard's blade at 1:14, and the clatter of the sword hitting the ground at 2:36 -- all so real and so perfectly tuned to the environment and the tone of the fight. Such attention to detail really sold me on this fight scene. Well done.
You know, if they are able to do a new BESERK adaptation, I think they could pull it off wonderfully.
ARC-77 Fordo Well the guy who did this is trying to get the rights to do Berserk, so you might get your wish actually.
@@StellaStarfall oh FUCK YES!
That new cg berserk is bleh..
I love Netflix. They didn't have to give us a shirtless Alucard fighting and getting kneed in the sack. And yet they gave it to us anyway. Fucking. Y e s .
Netflix understands the weebs, confirmed.
"Do you have a god, Belmont?"
"I have silver. And garlic."
I love how the fight ends with Trevor scoring a hit with a sword and Alucard getting one with his fist. You'd think it'd be the other way around
A luta n termina aí. ALUCARD derruba trevo cm um soco e podaria ter matado trevo ali mesmo
y’all really left my boi alucard suffering at the end of season 2 ????
Vivi shhhh. He goes back to sleep for like 300 years after that. He meets new friends when he wakes up again. Richter Belmont and Maria Renard
I gotta say, its not often I get teary, but that shit really got to me. Finally after all the fighting, it finally hit him that he really lost both his parents.
Timecircle Blue Nah 3 years pass and they all meet up again for season 3.
Normally he got a 300 years sleep, and have to wake up to kill a resurrected Dracula alone.
He meets friends, accept his past, and become a fucking secret agent to kick evil ass.
@@anonyme4881 I actually wish they do symphony of the night and aria of sorrow. That would be amazing
" tell that to ur floating vampire jesus here " 🤣
Physics: Am I a joke to you?
yes
Yes, yes you are.
When you are in an anime? Yes.
Who are you again as I clim a mountain with my horse at all most 90 degree angle
Tell it to your floating vampire Jesus here.
Years late to the commentary, but among the many parts of this fight that other folks have talked about, I think my favourite detail is the swipe Alucard took to Trevor's neck. It clearly shows the level of adaptability that Trevor has. Why? Alucard's sword is long. Longer than normal swords. If Trevor had backed away as one would in a normal sword fight, he'd have lost right there. He backed away far enough to avoid it. Which is why he lost his stability and was at a disadvantage after that. Brilliant choreography on the animators part.
Also the way Alucard uses the weight and length of his sword to his advantage by whipping it around his center of gravity for maximum attack power. Pure physics.
MAN, I need to watch this show again!
VC SÓ ESQUECEU DE DETALHAR QUE ALUCARD NÃO ESTAVA LUTANDO A SÉRIO NÉ. TANTO Q QUANDO DERRUBA TREVOR COM UM SOCO ELE PODERIA TER FINALIZADO A LUTA ALI. Mas ele joga sua espada fora e vai agarra trevo cm as mão. Só aí mostra a SUPERIORIDADE DE ALUCARD
