It makes me think a lot of Rosso the Crimson from Final Fantasy VII Dirge of Cerberus. When she is beaten she says that she has lost and Vincent will not get the honor of her death. She then kill’s herself by jumping off like the 60th floor of a building before saying she won.
Please react to the sequel series to Castlevania, Castlevania Nocturne. Ladies the adventures continue centuries later, just as good, just as great . New characters a few honorable mentions. Trust me you'll love it.@@MeeshDeeReacts
I'm a Psychologist and an amateur writer. And one of the reasons why we say Isaac is the goat is bc of his growth. While Hector and Him end up reaching the same conclusions, Hector goes through the path of repent, he feels he deserves all the bad. Isaac goes through the route of acceptance and growth. He doesn't feel he failed Dracula, or that he need to redeem himself. At the end he kills Carmilla because he believes that will be better for the world. And to me, the fact that we learn maturity and acceptance from a former radicalist and genocide advocate is peak art
Don't forget that it was a conversation with a Pirate Captain that taught him the value of Human kindness and ultimately set him on his path. Which is quite funny, since it's the last person you'd expect to advocate for the good traits of humanity, or even be a good person. Isaac really found good advice in a place where you least expect it and precisely when he needed it too.
That's my favorite fight in the entire show. Isaac did not underestimate her for a second, he played his strength in numbers strategy masterfully and it looked cool as hell.
And now you understand why I love Isaac. It is a rare occurrence to see such a deep character that reach a form of redemption and get more and more dimensions along the progress of a season. He is now good in some ways, but not in a moral way, he is beyond morality, he has became good in the most primitive humane way, just wanting to create something for the future, just wanting to help people to live, like what he did by rebuilding the city of the mad magician he defeated to left it as a gift for anyone to inhabit. Also Striga and Morana
Carmilla and Drolta are my favourite female vampires in the whole castlevania series, and the fact that they both always fight with heels and is insane.
6:14 Hector asked Isaac for his knife specifically, because he couldn't do it with any knife (or he would have done it already). I believe Isaac's knife contains powerful magic that was able to break the ring's spell. And I love how Isaac cauterized Hector's wound afterwards, such a tender moment. Overall, this episode gave a satisfying resolution for these two, and Isaac's speech in the end was very touching and wise.
Yeah, Forge magic is also living human exclusive so it likely counters the vampire magic on the binding spell of the ring. By using Isaac's he could bypass the rule that didn't allow him to remove it by himself.
Isaac holding Hector's hand when cauterizing his wound is pretty poignant. I think it's the first time in the series that Isaac touches someone non violently.
I love Isaac's entire character arc in this series. I see his last dialogue in this episode as an indication of how he's healed gradually from the wounds the world inflicted on him.
it's beautiful storytelling, i really didn't like him in s2 but s3 and 4 really made me love him ; thank goodness for generous merchants and talkative sailors😂
It sneaks by, but back in Season 3, the Mad Forgemaster who told Isaac about the magician doing mind control, she mentioned he had a “particularly large and wide” transmission mirror. It’s part of why Isaac ultimately fights the Magician; the mirror probably saved a march of a few hundred miles.
sneaks by? There's a scene of him finding the mirror and clapping it together and looking back at the Old Magician. And then at the end of last episode he USED it to do this right here. I'm baffled how they forgot and didn't notice it again
I kind of like that the designated heroes (Trevor, Sypha, Alucard) not only never fight Carmilla, they never even become *aware* of her. She has her whole little betrayal scheme upended by them entirely by a fluke of timing, and the repercussions of that end up getting her killed before they can ever come into conflict.
Special mention goes to Isaac's number one lieutenant, Abel. You notice he has Isaac's back throughout the entire episode. He's basically Isaac's familiar. The anime glosses it over but he's very powerful in the games.
Issac is such a well-written character. He was kind of a nobody in the background at the start but grows more than anyone else is the series IMO. Such a badass
For myself personally, this is one of my favourite episodes, and I am glad that you both really liked the episode as well. Isaac and Carmilla, have a lot in common. Both have been wronged by others, and lashed back with violence, and in doing so, proven themselves powerful and competent. Vampires in this show, though are often shown to almost become stunted in growth, perhaps to their long lives, and they sort of seem vulnerable to stagnation. Which is why Isaacs thoughts about growth and change, new possibilities versus the idea of a long continuous night... So whilst both characters were impressively cool, competent, powerful, Carmilla sort of got lost in her ambition, rage, anger, revenge. Isaac got moments of reflection, introspection, and conversation with a few different side characters, notably the Captain and Miranda. He took such opportunities, and grew, and it was slow and subtle at times, but the pay off and resolution was satisfying. I have noticed that some other peoples reaction to this show, thoughts, views, feelings towards Hector, compared to my own, can be a little... harsh. Its not that I do not understand them or see where they are coming from, Hector is not perfect, but i do view him, as a somewhat naive and sheltered person, who had a tough and traumatic childhood, and so easy to manipulate. Not even really just manipulate, but lacking the experience, and foundations to understand better. Which is why Dracula was direct with Issac but didn't have that same relationship with Hector. Which also makes this episodes reunion between Issac and Hector satisfying to myself as well, because as well as symbolising both characters growth, resilience, it examines the differences and similarities, and strengths of the characters. They do not need to be rivals or in competition. Issac is cool, and badass, but perhaps more importantly he is now wise, understanding, reflective, and that, I think is quite special.
I adore Isaac’s voice. It is so musical and towards the end when you hear the kindness and hope in it. The actor really makes you believe he has true hope.
Isaac became one of my favorite characters in fiction. How he went from a jaded person who didn’t care about people or the world to a warm and wise person who wants to nurture people and the world is the best thing to watch. He had some of the best dialogues in the show hands down too. This show isn’t just exciting to watch it’s actually thought provoking.
Isaac went from being one of my least favourite characters to being one of my favourites. Had an amazing character development. A great story arc. And went from nilhism to hopeful. Dracula literally did for him what Lisa did to Dracula. Tricked him into traveling the world and seeing it full of people. Good and bad. And seeing that the world is dark. But it also has light aswell
Iseac is just sooooo cool! Thanks for watching Castlevania with me/us ! It was always so nice to have a new video to watch. Keep on going with this channel
Isaac is easily the best character in the show, and there's a strong cast. I connect with his arc, and his final scene still hits me. "They convince us there is no future. There's only an eternal now, and the best we can do is survive until dawn and do it all again. That's no way to live, and I've discovered to some surprise that I am in interested in living. I am interested in building a way to live. And I think I will start here. [...] I will instead build something new on all these old bones. Something where people can live for a future. I'm going to live." Isaac's story is that of a pure and loving child, tortured and betrayed, losing his soul to hate, and then finding his soul again. It's my favorite character arc in this show.
I TRULY detest Carmilla! BUT her story is one of the most beautiful, tragic, and enthralling parts of this tale to me! She lost herself so much in her relentless pursuit of vengeance, that in the end she died having lived EXACTLY as the crazy old mad men she hated so much! Lost so deep in a pursuit for power, greed and brutality that after she finally tipped over the edge, or at least couldn't hide her true intentions any further, she was put down for trying to drink up more than she could ever help to take in. Truly what an incredible show this is!
And thus the Isaac character arc reaches its climax, in a phenomenal episode! The battle against Carmilla was amazing, from so many angles. She was far superior, and he knew that. He knew better than to try to beat her 1v1, so he made sure it *wasn't* 1v1. It wasn't a fair fight, nor could it have been. He brought everything he had against her to make sure he won. For her part, she refused to bow to him, and didn't give him the satisfaction of the kill, taking herself out. Both were badass in their own way. In the end, the maturation of Isaac, and his bond with Hector, was one of the best arcs I've seen in TV. Such a damn good show! Thank you for reacting to this wonderful series! ❤🐺
Isaac is one of the few that actually gets it. Dracula just wanted to be with his wife again. The themes of grief in this show weave in and out of almost every episode and it goes so hard.
One thing I like about Carmilla vs Isaac is how it puts Carmilla's "plan" in perspective (powerscaling-wise); she was worn out after fighting Isaac's night creatures, not even other vampires, and then Isaac, a human, backed by some monsters, took her out. Sypha, Trevor and Alucard wiped the floor with Dracula's generals, who are supposed to be top-tier vampires, and still when they fought a blood-starved Dracula, they got whooped and only won because Dracula let Alucard stake him. So how exactly did she think it was gonna go? Was she gonna fight Dracula and take him out by herself?
@SuperDecimator Maybe, but we don't even know if Holy Water would kill Dracula. The Morning Star didn't, and it oneshotted every vampire until then. Only staking, beheading and burning him worked
Dracula has been on peace-mode for a very long time. Almost nobody knew how truly powerful he really was. She probably knew he was stronger than her, but I doubt she understood the enormity of the difference. Dracula is almost god-like in Castlevania, with even Death working for him, but few people know that. She also knew he had been starving himself for a while. I would say it is reasonably to guess that she used herself as a measure and put Dracula just a bit above her, with her ego. So she was justified in thinking that she could just throw her men at Dracula until he was too tired and finished him off herself. Obviously, she didn't know that even starved, Dracula was still more powerful than anyone around.
@ I think you nailed it on her ego. She's basically a bully who could beat up everyone in her backwater hometown, thinking she can fight a professional martial artist.
That's a cute new addition to the background Not sure how long it's been there and I haven't noticed since it spent most of the video hidden behind Meesh's head
Haha! good eye :) it's one of the portraits we had for our wedding. With our new set up though (post Christmas/holiday szn) we've put the frame on my side on the floor 😉
This episode is literally my absolute favourite 🥹 the dialogue throughout the entire episode, and everyone's realisations of what it means to live and not just survive is just so beautiful.
The dialogue between Isaac and Carmilla is so epic because they are both so badass and powerful 🙌🏾. I love Isaac so much 🤌🏾🔥🔥 and Carmilla's line, "I am Carmilla of Styria and F- you!"🥹
my second fav. episode of the series. everything about it from the character growth, music, and the fight scenes. Its funny in a way now how hector and lenore act towards one another now.
Do you remember Isaac's conversation with the Sea Captain? He squeezed lime juice into a cup of water before offering it to Isaac. After defending Carmila, Isaac squeezed lime juice into a cup of water before drinking. Nifty call back. I rather doubt that Sigia and Morana(sorry about the spelling) would have risked a rescue mission for Lenoir. They had already decided that they didn't need her, which was probably why they were so quick to decide that she was dead. The final battle between Isaac and Camila was quite something. He was cold, intelligent, and disciplined, using his creatures to help while she was lashing out with sheer ferocity
The great thing about Carmilla in this show is that she is loosely based on the novel Carmilla, which predates Bram Stoker's Dracula by more than 30 years. One of the many reasons it has not become so culturally popular is because it's about a woman, but it also very clearly portrays a lesbian relationship. Editors have gone back to research the author LeFanu and his source of inspiration. Turns out there was a series of letters between two women who were having a romantic affair. Of course, in 1872, when LeFanu wrote the novel, he was never going to tell that story. Thankfully, it can now be retold or edited to reflect the original story. It's quite good and not very long. Highly recommend it.
This is so bloody good! Love the path Hector made, love how Carmilla was like fuck you nobody kills me. And such a good conversation/monologue at the end. And this isn't even the final!
This is one of the best episodes of anime I have ever seen with some of the best battle AND dramatic sequences I have ever seen in a single episode of an anime. Give Adetokumboh M'Cormack a standing round of goddamn applause for his amazing work as Issac. I absolutely love how Issac was absolutely going into this battle looking to kill Hector but when he had the chance he decided to spare and forgive him because as he said “You and I Hector, we have been children. Revenge is for children. It is our duty to grow up, don’t you think?” But what I REALLY love is how in the end Issac decides to take The Captain’s words to heart and rule so he can teach people how to be kind, and that with peace and serenity in his heart the last words we hear him say in the series is *“I’m going to live.”*
the animation in this serie go crazy sometimes. this episode is a show case for animation teams all around the world. japanese, French, US, and many more countrys contributed to the beautiful animation in this. apreaciate that because, a few shows produced in the US has this quality of animation.
Carmilla passed the same way she lived, in the most flashiest way she could. This is just the beginning of the end. Can't wait to see how you react to the next 4 episodes. If this episode was a banger for you, I'm sure you'll appreciate the next ones.
When I first saw this episode, it made me love Carmilla even more. she fr is a baddie😌 and that line of dialogue about not deserving her blood went so hard🔥
"she'd win the 1vs1" well yeah he knew that lol. Its why he brought a whole army. Another point in isaac's growth. He went there to just kill her, not prove he was better, not get revenge for dracula, not enslaving hector. Just to kill her because he honestly ( and rightly) felt she'd be too big of a threat to the world. It always reminds me how you never meet someone who is both hateful and traveled the world. The more isaac travel the more people he met and the more rounded his view became. Yeah hes not a "good guy", but if you think back to what he said after killing the city magician. It felt good to kill him because it set something in the world right, well hey how many places in the world we actually live in could use that sort of treatment.
Carmilla became what she hated in the end and had a similar death to Dracula in that someone has to intervene to kill them because they thought it would make the world a better place.
You weren't stressed out during Isaac's speech that someone will kill him? I honestly was convinced that writers will kill him off during the moment he finally became happy and hopeful
the creators of Netflix swap hector and Isaac's perspective about bringing dracula back to life in the game Castlevania curse of darkness isaac is the one eager to bring back dracula while hector moves on and live a peaceful life
11:20 Sad, old women can lose their stuff just as easily. A cautionary tale. She went out like a punk too. Self-deletion is still a loss, a dishonorable loss.
I think Hector does have feelings for lonore and a bit of which made him easy to be manipulated which in turn led him to have a bit of Stockholm syndrome, and I think lenor did have feelings for him but the loyalty to her sisters outweighed it, hector situation wasn't very desirable but it was his fault and it could have been worse in my opinion
Never liked Isaac 😁 I agree he's got a great arc, but I never ever saw him in trouble (maybe 5 seconds with the evil wizard? nah). His arc of growth was all in his mind, and that was amazing nonetheless, but I'd have preferred to see him struggle a bit more in the pursue of his plans, or being overwhelmed by an opposing force if only for one episode. Being so powerful and relentless and getting to these conclusions makes him very wise for sure, but doesn't help me to empathize with him that much. Just my 2 cents, of course...
Such a damn good episode, 4x6-4x10 was truly just a masterful closing to the series, couldn’t have asked for a better ending. Good stuff guys, Really glad yall watched this
"You don't deserve my blood" is easily the coldest phrase ever
COLD
It makes me think a lot of Rosso the Crimson from Final Fantasy VII Dirge of Cerberus. When she is beaten she says that she has lost and Vincent will not get the honor of her death. She then kill’s herself by jumping off like the 60th floor of a building before saying she won.
Please react to the sequel series to Castlevania, Castlevania Nocturne. Ladies the adventures continue centuries later, just as good, just as great . New characters a few honorable mentions. Trust me you'll love it.@@MeeshDeeReacts
I'm a Psychologist and an amateur writer. And one of the reasons why we say Isaac is the goat is bc of his growth. While Hector and Him end up reaching the same conclusions, Hector goes through the path of repent, he feels he deserves all the bad. Isaac goes through the route of acceptance and growth. He doesn't feel he failed Dracula, or that he need to redeem himself. At the end he kills Carmilla because he believes that will be better for the world. And to me, the fact that we learn maturity and acceptance from a former radicalist and genocide advocate is peak art
Agree that Isaac’s arc is peak!! 🙏🏼 really cool you’re a psychologist and writer too 😊
Don't forget that it was a conversation with a Pirate Captain that taught him the value of Human kindness and ultimately set him on his path. Which is quite funny, since it's the last person you'd expect to advocate for the good traits of humanity, or even be a good person. Isaac really found good advice in a place where you least expect it and precisely when he needed it too.
That's my favorite fight in the entire show.
Isaac did not underestimate her for a second, he played his strength in numbers strategy masterfully and it looked cool as hell.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
And now you understand why I love Isaac.
It is a rare occurrence to see such a deep character that reach a form of redemption and get more and more dimensions along the progress of a season. He is now good in some ways, but not in a moral way, he is beyond morality, he has became good in the most primitive humane way, just wanting to create something for the future, just wanting to help people to live, like what he did by rebuilding the city of the mad magician he defeated to left it as a gift for anyone to inhabit.
Also Striga and Morana
We appreciate you watching with us! We love Isaac too ❤️🙏🏼
Carmilla and Drolta are my favourite female vampires in the whole castlevania series, and the fact that they both always fight with heels and is insane.
Gotta love a fighter in heels 🥵
Drolta is even a thing yet, why you giving spoilers like that.
@@g0lddustt29 they started watching nocturne already (on their patreon)soo they know who she is.
OBJECTION! Drolta doesn't even have heels lol. She fights on her toes
@@SuperDecimator oh yeah right, lmao i was always wondering how is she even walking or running with those.
6:14 Hector asked Isaac for his knife specifically, because he couldn't do it with any knife (or he would have done it already). I believe Isaac's knife contains powerful magic that was able to break the ring's spell. And I love how Isaac cauterized Hector's wound afterwards, such a tender moment. Overall, this episode gave a satisfying resolution for these two, and Isaac's speech in the end was very touching and wise.
Yeah she said if he tried taking it off he would feel some crazy pain.
Yeah, Forge magic is also living human exclusive so it likely counters the vampire magic on the binding spell of the ring. By using Isaac's he could bypass the rule that didn't allow him to remove it by himself.
Isaac holding Hector's hand when cauterizing his wound is pretty poignant. I think it's the first time in the series that Isaac touches someone non violently.
I love Isaac's entire character arc in this series. I see his last dialogue in this episode as an indication of how he's healed gradually from the wounds the world inflicted on him.
it's beautiful storytelling, i really didn't like him in s2 but s3 and 4 really made me love him ; thank goodness for generous merchants and talkative sailors😂
Carmilla was easily my favourite character in this series - i'm glad they gave her a death worthy of her.
AGREED🙏🏼
It sneaks by, but back in Season 3, the Mad Forgemaster who told Isaac about the magician doing mind control, she mentioned he had a “particularly large and wide” transmission mirror. It’s part of why Isaac ultimately fights the Magician; the mirror probably saved a march of a few hundred miles.

I kind of like that the designated heroes (Trevor, Sypha, Alucard) not only never fight Carmilla, they never even become *aware* of her. She has her whole little betrayal scheme upended by them entirely by a fluke of timing, and the repercussions of that end up getting her killed before they can ever come into conflict.
"He earned his break." That line about Dracula really hit home with me.
Special mention goes to Isaac's number one lieutenant, Abel. You notice he has Isaac's back throughout the entire episode. He's basically Isaac's familiar. The anime glosses it over but he's very powerful in the games.
Issac is such a well-written character. He was kind of a nobody in the background at the start but grows more than anyone else is the series IMO. Such a badass
Least interesting in Dracula's Court, indeed :P I know a few friends who thought that earlier on
For myself personally, this is one of my favourite episodes, and I am glad that you both really liked the episode as well.

Carmilla vs Isaac was EPIC! She went like a baddie. "You don't deserve my blood" is such a Carmilla thing to say, I love it.
🔥🔥🔥
I've seen the interpretation that the explosion spell was always there on her heart. She's taking any murderer with her (as well as everyone else)
I adore Isaac’s voice. It is so musical and towards the end when you hear the kindness and hope in it. The actor really makes you believe he has true hope.
The actor performs in Blood of Zeus and now he is the voice of Apocalypse (in the past) in Xmen 97
@ thank you, I’ll have to check those out
Isaac became one of my favorite characters in fiction. How he went from a jaded person who didn’t care about people or the world to a warm and wise person who wants to nurture people and the world is the best thing to watch. He had some of the best dialogues in the show hands down too. This show isn’t just exciting to watch it’s actually thought provoking.
Carmilla was bad, but she's also a hypocrite. She always said greedy old men were the problem, but she was just like them.
Every word out of Isaac's mouth this season is so good.
Isaac went from being one of my least favourite characters to being one of my favourites.
Had an amazing character development.
A great story arc.
And went from nilhism to hopeful.
Dracula literally did for him what Lisa did to Dracula.
Tricked him into traveling the world and seeing it full of people. Good and bad.
And seeing that the world is dark. But it also has light aswell

And I think I will start here.
[...]
I will instead build something new on all these old bones.
Something where people can live for a future.
I'm going to live."
Isaac's story is that of a pure and loving child, tortured and betrayed, losing his soul to hate, and then finding his soul again. It's my favorite character arc in this show.
Lets be real, True castlevania fans were waiting for these two to react to isaac’s talk with hector
So epic!! 🔥
Fun fact - I think the creators of the show said that the Night Creature that first wandered into Carmilla’s chamber was made using Godbrands soul.
I TRULY detest Carmilla! BUT her story is one of the most beautiful, tragic, and enthralling parts of this tale to me! She lost herself so much in her relentless pursuit of vengeance, that in the end she died having lived EXACTLY as the crazy old mad men she hated so much!

9:30 it is 1v1, he's a summoner, they're all just part of him.
I agree. What's important is that Isaac is always in the fight on the front line. He's not a Pokemon Trainer in the back
One thing I like about Carmilla vs Isaac is how it puts Carmilla's "plan" in perspective (powerscaling-wise); she was worn out after fighting Isaac's night creatures, not even other vampires, and then Isaac, a human, backed by some monsters, took her out. Sypha, Trevor and Alucard wiped the floor with Dracula's generals, who are supposed to be top-tier vampires, and still when they fought a blood-starved Dracula, they got whooped and only won because Dracula let Alucard stake him. So how exactly did she think it was gonna go? Was she gonna fight Dracula and take him out by herself?
That's why she had to scheme. I wonder if the Braila attack continued, she would try and use holy water perhaps?
@SuperDecimator Maybe, but we don't even know if Holy Water would kill Dracula. The Morning Star didn't, and it oneshotted every vampire until then. Only staking, beheading and burning him worked
Dracula has been on peace-mode for a very long time. Almost nobody knew how truly powerful he really was.

You have no idea how excited I was for you guys to get to this episode
This is one of many reasons why S4 is the best. This is only the beginning, folks. Get ready for a helluva ride. LFG!
This is so bloody good! Love the path Hector made, love how Carmilla was like fuck you nobody kills me. And such a good conversation/monologue at the end. And this isn't even the final!
Castlevania Nocturne S2 just dropped, and its fight scenes are at another level
One of my favorite episodes Isaac is a amazing character
are you guys watching Nocturne also? Love your videos!
You already know ;) thanks for watching with us!
It's so much worse...
Been waiting for them
To get to this fight.
Carmilla was my favourite character. I knew she had to die, but yet I was still saddened by it. At least she went out with a bang.
A 1v1 wouldnt be fair considering Carmilla is a vampire 😂
I love your reaction for this episode. 😌👍🏼
One of my fav of MANY fight scenes in this show
10000!!
This is one of the best episodes of anime I have ever seen with some of the best battle AND dramatic sequences I have ever seen in a single episode of an anime. Give Adetokumboh M'Cormack a standing round of goddamn applause for his amazing work as Issac.
I absolutely love how Issac was absolutely going into this battle looking to kill Hector but when he had the chance he decided to spare and forgive him because as he said “You and I Hector, we have been children. Revenge is for children. It is our duty to grow up, don’t you think?” But what I REALLY love is how in the end Issac decides to take The Captain’s words to heart and rule so he can teach people how to be kind, and that with peace and serenity in his heart the last words we hear him say in the series is *“I’m going to live.”*
Been waiting for y’all to see this one!
🔥🔥🔥
the animation in this serie go crazy sometimes.
this episode is a show case for animation teams all around the world.
japanese, French, US, and many more countrys contributed to the beautiful animation in this.
apreaciate that because, a few shows produced in the US has this quality of animation.
You know it's a solid series when almost every episode is rhe best one so far
Carmilla passed the same way she lived, in the most flashiest way she could. This is just the beginning of the end. Can't wait to see how you react to the next 4 episodes. If this episode was a banger for you, I'm sure you'll appreciate the next ones.
When I first saw this episode, it made me love Carmilla even more. she fr is a baddie😌 and that line of dialogue about not deserving her blood went so hard🔥
Just PEAK 🥵🙏🏼
"she'd win the 1vs1" well yeah he knew that lol. Its why he brought a whole army. Another point in isaac's growth. He went there to just kill her, not prove he was better, not get revenge for dracula, not enslaving hector. Just to kill her because he honestly ( and rightly) felt she'd be too big of a threat to the world. It always reminds me how you never meet someone who is both hateful and traveled the world. The more isaac travel the more people he met and the more rounded his view became. Yeah hes not a "good guy", but if you think back to what he said after killing the city magician. It felt good to kill him because it set something in the world right, well hey how many places in the world we actually live in could use that sort of treatment.
Castlevania Nocturne season 2 has the same level of crazy as this season!
Isaac the best Forgemaster😎🔪❤️🔥🥇💪🏻
Isaac is the goat 🔥
leave it to carmilla to deny isaac the death stroke, a final act of defiance 😉 thank you for a great reaction ladies! ☺👍
❤️❤️❤️
She is a vampire he’s a human it’s very much fair that he use his night creatures as that’s his power
This episode was definitely the best one out of the entire series.
End game now, hold on to your seat ladies!! Gonna need some tissues
About time lessssgooooo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
" I'm going to live. ^_^ "
Carmilla became what she hated in the end and had a similar death to Dracula in that someone has to intervene to kill them because they thought it would make the world a better place.
Favorite episode and favorite character…Isaac!! 🙌
Mine too
You weren't stressed out during Isaac's speech that someone will kill him? I honestly was convinced that writers will kill him off during the moment he finally became happy and hopeful
In the end Carmilla was nothing but a mad old woman.
I have no love for Carmilla, but damn she went out like a warrior.
1:49 STRIIIKE!!
So are they going straight into Nocturne after this season is finished?
Yup!
Carmilla is amazing, i stan😅
the creators of Netflix swap hector and Isaac's perspective about bringing dracula back to life in the game Castlevania curse of darkness isaac is the one eager to bring back dracula while hector moves on and live a peaceful life
I love this episode so much Carmilla went out like a G
LIKE A G
11:20 Sad, old women can lose their stuff just as easily.
A cautionary tale.
She went out like a punk too. Self-deletion is still a loss, a dishonorable loss.
amaazing
Idk who hook up with her or hector or Isaac. All 3 are so fine
I’m still waiting on my spinoff vampire lesbian anime with Morana and Striga! Is that too much to ask? Meesh, Dee, please back me up on this.
Yasssss we def on board 😂🫡❤️🔥
@ “Sapphic Sanguine Sommeliers” trademark!
You need to do a reaction video to Arnold Schwarzeneggers 1st movie Hercules in New York
🤣🤣🤣🤣
wat
I’m not talking to you I’m talking to meesh and dee
@ I know... but you said it in public haha.
@@Nekotaku_TVWhat you on about saying it in public I was telling them to do a reaction video to something I was talking to them not you so shut up
I think Hector does have feelings for lonore and a bit of which made him easy to be manipulated which in turn led him to have a bit of Stockholm syndrome, and I think lenor did have feelings for him but the loyalty to her sisters outweighed it, hector situation wasn't very desirable but it was his fault and it could have been worse in my opinion
Please please continue with nocturne after this series concludes. Season 2 premieres tomorrow so far it has been just as epic!
We’ve started to post our reactions to Nocturne on our patreon already 😉
It has been way worse.
Never liked Isaac 😁 I agree he's got a great arc, but I never ever saw him in trouble (maybe 5 seconds with the evil wizard? nah). His arc of growth was all in his mind, and that was amazing nonetheless, but I'd have preferred to see him struggle a bit more in the pursue of his plans, or being overwhelmed by an opposing force if only for one episode. Being so powerful and relentless and getting to these conclusions makes him very wise for sure, but doesn't help me to empathize with him that much. Just my 2 cents, of course...
Don't you think that his childhood was enough of a struggle? I mean how much more struggle do you want to see him endure?
Isaac on top
Generally I lose interest in reactions after the end of season 2, but I always gotta come back for this episode specifically. Mmm, that’s a bad btch 💅
Day 11 of asking to react Shin Godzilla (2016)
Such a damn good episode, 4x6-4x10 was truly just a masterful closing to the series, couldn’t have asked for a better ending. Good stuff guys, Really glad yall watched this
