Apologizes for my mispronunciation of "Belnades". I can completely understand if that reading weakened this video overall for you, due to my dyslexia I have always read the name as Blanders for years. So it stuck in my vocabulary, I thought I had kicked the bad habit but I missed it during the recording process of this video. (Partly because I was more concerned with trying too getting Juste's name right) So this slipped my mind. I also learned it's Wraith not Wrath, which I didn't notice until just recently.
@@ShadowRealmZ373 What I said was Juste is the last playable Belmont based on game releases, not the last Belmont in terms of the timeline, I specified that and even mentioned he Richter in the video.
@@MetiNotTheBadGuy Oh okay thanks for clarifying , though technically incorrect still since Leon would be last playable main character Belmont in Lament of Innocence, ironically being first Belmont, so that's why I was confused But anyway not trying to hate, just really love Castlevania and want to make sure it's accurate, but all good dude, love the vids regardless
Simon: I need to destroy Dracula's body parts before he revives Richter: I need to save Maria and the other girls from Shaft ritual Juste: I need to find a chair for this random room
Even if we considered Chronicles Simon… he’s still a fucking wall in terms of muscle but just a little more _GHEY,_ guess he didn’t train physically huh?
Maxim," Thank you Juste, for saving me". Lydia," Also thank you Juste, for saving me". Juste stands in solemn silence. Maxim," Uh Juste, you Okay?" Juste extends his gaze and a hand towards the crumbling Castlevania. "The roooommm", is all he whispers
What I love about Juste is he has the freakiest, most horrifying version of the castle of all the Belmonts with the game taking on WAYYY more a Horror style, and still comes out just fine only worrying about his friends
Hey, every Belmont must face their devils, Leon is facing the fact that good doesn’t prevail at times, Trevor is his lone Wolf mentality in CoD, Richter is his lust for combat, Julius is his age and accepting the world doesn’t need another Belmont ironically and what more to test Juste than his friend’s livelihood because of Maxim’s desire to be like Simon?
Juste clearly was based off of alucard off of the criticism of circle of the moon. Juste isn't just a great fighter or amazing spell caster. He's great at interior decorating.
@@FloresRainCircle of the Moon came out on the original GBA, which had no backlight. That meant it was a very dark game and hard to see it without an external source of light. Harmony of Dissonace fixed this by making Juste and the castle very bright so that people could play the game on the original GBA.
Besides Leon, juste is my favorite. From his design and the fact he uses magical powers it’s a shame he doesn’t get the respect he deserves. The most slept on Belmont in the bloodline without a doubt
Juste is cool. Honestly, Harmony of Dissonance was my favorite of the GBA games. Aria of Sorrow was cool and all, but it didn't have the gloomy atmosphere that Harmony of Dissonance displayed. Also, Harmony of Dissonance had a better soundtrack despite the sound quality.
He is the most special Belmont which is why he's my favorite of them all. A big reason why people think he is the weakest Belmont is because he never really faced the real Dracula. But really it's not his fault nor his choice. Really if he is given the chance to actually face Dracula, i bet he can destroy him in no time. His magic is so diverse and his mana is almost infinite actually. His MP capacity is so high! Also he can heal! And not to mention his speed! Like so many things he can that other belmonts can't do. I honestly think he is the strongest Belmont just born in a wrong time where he can't shine
Nah, both Simon and Richter were stronger. Simon was simply a beast who defeated Dracula, and survived a curse that was sapping his life by going through several towns and castles, and then killing Dracula again. He had no magic power despite having the same Belnades bloodline. He was simply that tough. I don't see Juste having the stamina to go through all that Simon did. As for Richter, while I don't rate him as being as physically powerful as Simon nor as magically powerful as Juste, he comes close behind both, making him overall more powerful than either. Richter IS described as the strongest Belmont overall by this point in time, only surpassed by Julius centuries later. That being said, I don't see Juste as the weakest Belmont. I tend to rank them as Julius, Richter, Simon, Juste, Trevor, Leon, Christopher, with the other Belmonts being worthy but not as powerful as those guys. In a family of badasses, those seven were exceptional even for it. So Juste IS powerful. Just not the most powerful. Also, in my headcanon, it's Juste who taught Richter magic. Also: Credit to Leon having probably been the strongest Belmont ever for nearly four centuries. The Belmont Clan had a strong base to build upon.
@Ares99999 the lack of stamina when you can definitely see him dashing through the castle back and forth. It still doesn't remove the fact that he didn't have the choice of not being able to face those stronger than dracula you say. This argument is basically like people asking if who is stronger Soma or Julius where there is no official conclusion but people can just have their own bias opinions
@@Alouette_EXE agreed, Ares is overlooking the fact that Juste boosts his physical capabilities with magic. Which could be an inconvenience _if_ he runs out, but he never does. The dude is a literal magical reactor. While we don't have any indicator on "how strong he can get", I can easily see him matching Simon's physical prowess. I personally don't like to compare them, since Simon reached the physical pinnacle by pure determination, while Juste...well, he can "cheat" his way there.
@@Yokai_Yuri The only thing that's official is Julius being a strongest one and Konami stated it themselves. But after that, none of the rest are mentioned to be the next strongest. Well sure I can consider Julius being the strongest one based on what we canonically see. But sometimes there are just potentials that are not shown. Like Juste's potential
The blue aura was really just there so you could see him clearly while playing him on the classic, un-backlit GBA. It's also why the color pallette of the game in general is much brighter than CotM.
When this game came out, I was completely unaware of how convoluted the Castlevania timeline is because the order Konami put them out. For the longest time I thought this was a sequel to SotN because of Juste's design and abilities and it made me thought that he was Alucard's son. Felt that disappointment years later that he wasn't, solidifying the fact that Alucard and Maria never got together in the end due to Alucard's self-loathing 😢
Juste predates SOTN making it impossible for him to be Alucard's son, But if it makes you feel better they did end up together in Nocturne of Recollection
…. Honestly @@ShadowRealmZ373? Juste being the son of Alucard and Maria seems… pretty ok for some reason, he share very glaring aspect of Alucard, but he share aspect of Maria as well, but the timeline dictates that he’s the father of Richter so….
@@James-oj6ru Well it's impossible in sense that Alucard was asleep, and Maria wasn't even born, and Yea Juste is related to Ricther, but it's not known if it's father or more likely grandfather
Yeah I know @@orangeslash1667, he made the timeline as a guideline for everyone to attempt to not make the game a confusing mess… but he regretted releasing the thing as it forces the series to go on a very linear straight path with not much freedom other than Frederic Belmont or… following the Morris’s mishaps whatever
The saddest thing to hear was that Juste's happy ending wasn't so happy in the long run. The saddest thing to see was the squalor that The Premier Interior Decorator of the Belmonts was living in. Luckily, that's an alternate timeline unless said otherwise.
Belmont clan went from "I'LL KILL YOU *AND* THE NIGHT" to "hmm, y'know what? I think this room needs another candelabra after getting that raccoon statue, I'm thinkin' silver this time"
Juste is a personal favourite of the Belmont clan, and one of the best Castlevania games in the series, at least in my opinion. Hearing these deep dives into this series, really just pumps me up for the rest of the day, so thank you so much for doing this task. Keep up the good work, and have a nice day.
@@spinge1523 My legend grows I see. While I am a bard, it is in my nature to travel and try to spread joy over the land. In all honesty it feels weird being recognised for my work in other areas, but puts a smile on my face none the less. Thanks for this, I hope you have a nice day.
Juste is probably my most favourite Belmont in the series,the other characters that I like aren't Belmonts though (Soma, Shanoa, Jonnathan and Charlotte)
I'm also here because of Castlevania Nocturne in where the show made Juste Belmont into one of those granddads who looks like he's out on a country rock road trip and stop by every bar in America while trying not to get into a bar fight, but ends up starting one, but he's French.
@@acgearsandarms1343 That is true, which is why Nocturne takes place during the French Revolution. If Castlevania gets another spinoff series once Nocturne ends, where would the story of the new spinoff take place? Will it have the characters from Legacy of Darkness and have it set during the Victorian Era?
@@samflood5631 I would be interested to see how the Morris Clan or even the Hakuba Clan get intertwined into the Belmont Clan to explore their take on future games. Lots of possibilities. But first, we need a second season of Nocturne.
Something I really love that I doubt was intentional but might be. Juste has the whip, legacy, and fighting style of a Belmont. He's also descended from the Belnades and has their focus on magic. He also has the overall aesthetic of Dracula/Alucard, it plays a lot like Symphony of the Night, and he has enough of a connection with Castlevania to at least create a little room of his own in it (and I believe he can sit in chairs, that's important). So he's like the convergence point of the series three main bloodlines. As well as the three heroes of Castlevania 3 that get the most attention (Sorry Grant... again.)
Funny you should mention this game is basically "Symphony of the night 2" since the idea of decorating a room was actually planned for Symphony of the Night.
Belmont too cool to fight Dracula Put down whip and equip spatula Can't fight Drac if the Belmont dies Touchin' ladies' thighs to keep the name alive Doesn't fight Dracula Only makes pancakes Would be a hero He's four and a half decades late!
Harmony of dissonance and Circle of the moon not only the magic system but the story plot point is quite similar for both games too. Juste/Nathan Maxim/Hugh
Juste is my favorite Belmont. I like Julius, I like Richter, and I like Kokoro, but Juste is such a fun guy, his game is also really underrated xD - V.D.
One major feature in Harmony of dissonance compared to Circle of the moon is that you don’t have Invincibility frames, so for a lot of the bosses, I just used the Bible+Ice book (which you can get before the first boss and deals a ton of damage with great range) and the Bible+Bolt book for backtracking due to being active even after you save.
Just is my favorite belmont because not only is he a departure from other belmonts he has his own flair. Much like Richter and some of the other's but he takes it to the next level and I like how even though he wasn't fated to be the one to fight dracula 100 years later he ends up fighting a version of him anyhow, like a total badass.
Is it wrong to get a the beauty of nathan graves because man after playing circle of the moon for the first time thanks to castlevania collection I gotta say he looks like a interesting character to dissect plus dss is by far the coolest thing ever.
Juste plays Wiz Khalifa "see you again" while drinking a bottle of Jack Daniels as he reminisces on the sweet memories of his beloved furniture Maxim: Hey bro don't you think you had enough? I mean we can always hit up Rent-A-Center, c'mon man let's go... Juste: (Throws bottle in disgust) GET OUTTA MY FACE!!! YOU DONT UNDERSTAND MAXY!! YOU DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO DECORATE!!!!!!
Another detail is that a lot of people in the fandom think Juste is an albino, people who have always been compared with real vampires because of their sun sensitivity
I just appreciate how weird Juste is in comparison to other Belmonts. I wish Nocturne gave him more Justice. They didn’t even give his hut nice looking furniture or show his intense speed/after images. Hopefully they will show flash backs of his youth.
I know that it may be a short video, but is there any way that you could do an episode on Joachim from Castlevania: Lament of Innocence? Always found him interesting, but no one ever talks about him. Such a missed opportunity for such a cool character. (Well, imo)
This is literally the only thing we wanted once he appeared on the series. But now look, maxim dead on the corner like a dog when the man overcame dracula 😢
I always thought his name was pronounced as "Just-E". Also it's sad that so many great IPs are wasted on a company like Konami. Castlevania, Metal Gear, Silent Hill, and Suikoden specifically. I still want to see the events that happened in 1999 where Julius finally defeated Dracula for good (kinda) and sealed the castle inside an eclipse.
I always considered Juste to be most nothing character starring in the weakest of the GBA trilogy, which also did him no favors. From one fellow overanalyzer to another, I do appreciate you clutching at every straw possible to flesh him out even a little bit. The Comically Selfless Austismally Meticulous Interior Decorator is my headcanon now.
Well Phantom Blood is basically Bram Stoker's Fist of the North Star, so there would be a lot of overlap even if Castlevania _didn't_ start throwing in actual jojokes
Everyone keeps saying they did him dirty in the show but I don't see it. Its only the first season and Juste only had two episodes and we still dont know everything. If I have ever seen an obvious set up for an arc it would be that.
In truth the show has bad writing imo so really imo castlevania nocturn did the castlevania series dirty. Though it's not cannon so I honestly could care less. I mean if I liked the direction I would watch more but nah I'm good personally.
I think the name "Goodness Gracious Great Balls OF Lightning" was supposed to be like, either reference the thunder bolts bit from Bohemenian Rhapsody, the "Great balls of fire" line from AC/DC's "Big Balls" or some weird combo there of to avoid copyrirght?

Dracula Soma: WHO THE HELL CHANGED THIS ROOM?!
Richter: _Completely trashing the other room in the background_
Juste: darn i have to beat dracula and i have no time To waste..... You know what, this room really needs a cat statue
Ah yes... the TRUE endgame.
The reason why Juste deserves to get all the love is because he's a good interior designer.
He probably founded Ikea.
😂
Ikea secretly funds the Belmont Clan/Vampire hunting business ala Speedwagon Foundation
Juste is probably the only Belmont that knows how to actually run; You know, instead of just aggressively power walking.
Richter and Julius both run as well. xD

Seems like an appropriate tradeoff for his broken magic. Almost none of the other Belmonts are that magically gifted.

the forward and back dash combined with his love of interior decorating make Juste one of my favorite belmonts, just such a good boyo
One major feature in Harmony of dissonance compared to Circle of the moon is that you don’t have Invincibility frames, so for a lot of the bosses, I just used the Bible+Ice book (which you can get before the first boss and deals a ton of damage with great range) and the Bible+Bolt book for backtracking due to being active even after you save.
Disclaimer: You do have I-frames when using sub weapons with the books.
Video was recommended to me at the moment i finished the episode he appears in😂
Man i was disappointed by his characterization in Nocturne
This but with 99% of the characters that appeared in that show
Just is my favorite belmont because not only is he a departure from other belmonts he has his own flair. Much like Richter and some of the other's but he takes it to the next level and I like how even though he wasn't fated to be the one to fight dracula 100 years later he ends up fighting a version of him anyhow, like a total badass.
I forgot how amazing harmonies graphics look✨
OUR BOY HAS RETURNED!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks netflix for reminding me of this character.
I can't believe this. Castlevania is a jojo reference.
Henry from silent hill 4, could've used Juste's help with his apartment.
Is it wrong to get a the beauty of nathan graves because man after playing circle of the moon for the first time thanks to castlevania collection I gotta say he looks like a interesting character to dissect plus dss is by far the coolest thing ever.
Who came here after watching Castlevania Nocturne?
Who is here because of Castlevania Nocturne?
Me.
Agent Smith: Me too.
You mean Grandad Juste?
I came back to revisit the comments because of Nocturne.
BRO IVE ALWAYS LOVED JUSTE, thanks METI!!!
Love these castlevania videos, feels liks such an untapped treasure trove of super interesting lore that not many people even know about
Thank you for improving my life today with that lightning attack name
I find it funny that for Juste being cursed means he has to walk like every other Belmont
Juste and Julius are my favorite. Thank you for the vid ❤️
Juste plays Wiz Khalifa "see you again" while drinking a bottle of Jack Daniels as he reminisces on the sweet memories of his beloved furniture
Maxim: Hey bro don't you think you had enough? I mean we can always hit up Rent-A-Center, c'mon man let's go...
Juste: (Throws bottle in disgust)
GET OUTTA MY FACE!!! YOU DONT UNDERSTAND MAXY!! YOU DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO DECORATE!!!!!!
Juste just the magic man
Another detail is that a lot of people in the fandom think Juste is an albino, people who have always been compared with real vampires because of their sun sensitivity
Ok Belnades is pronounced 'bell-nah-des'
I don't even know where they are getting the pronunciation "Blanders" from.
Sometimes, Belnades is changed to Fernandez (Fēr-nan-des)
Ok, I thought I had missed something when he kept saying "Blanders".
@agent_bolt Wrong, OP is right
belnaDEEZ NUTS
Blanders? wtf?
What next? Simon Flanders?
Glad best boy is getting his due.
I literally just finished playing Harmony of Dissonance when this video dropped
I just appreciate how weird Juste is in comparison to other Belmonts. I wish Nocturne gave him more Justice. They didn’t even give his hut nice looking furniture or show his intense speed/after images.
Hopefully they will show flash backs of his youth.
Juste HAS to show up in the netflix series PLEASE!
He might have a role nocturne
Spoilers
You got your wish
@@Multienderguy37 you are so lucky i binged the whole season. but yes i screamed
I always like to learn about these kinds of Balmonts characters
I just got done playing Harmony of Dissonance and was wondering about another Castelevania video from you.
The beauty of shanoa from order of eclessia please
YES HERE WE GO ANOTHER CV ANALYSIS
NGL i enjoyed the decorating feature and finding every shit that needs to be put there XD
Excellent editing
Yes! My favorite castlevania character! thanks dude
One of the most fashionable Belmonts and gas a pretty cool concept, but he still must learn how to be a nice sprite while falling
I know that it may be a short video, but is there any way that you could do an episode on Joachim from Castlevania: Lament of Innocence? Always found him interesting, but no one ever talks about him. Such a missed opportunity for such a cool character. (Well, imo)
Yeah, I wish he would have appeared more, as a villain or anti-hero.
I just finished Harmony of dissonance for the first time like 3 days ago thank you for this video:)
This is literally the only thing we wanted once he appeared on the series. But now look, maxim dead on the corner like a dog when the man overcame dracula 😢
I just realized that…(spoilers)
Richter in Nocturne uses Juste’s style of magic enhanced fisticuffs in combat. Nice callback.
Yeah that is pretty cool
No joke-at this point I mostly just watch through the vids to see how youre going to wrap Shimoneta into the ending😂🤣😂
I always thought his name was pronounced as "Just-E". Also it's sad that so many great IPs are wasted on a company like Konami. Castlevania, Metal Gear, Silent Hill, and Suikoden specifically. I still want to see the events that happened in 1999 where Julius finally defeated Dracula for good (kinda) and sealed the castle inside an eclipse.
I always considered Juste to be most nothing character starring in the weakest of the GBA trilogy, which also did him no favors.
From one fellow overanalyzer to another, I do appreciate you clutching at every straw possible to flesh him out even a little bit. The Comically Selfless Austismally Meticulous Interior Decorator is my headcanon now.
I just want a video comparing castlevania to jojo
I desperately need it in my life
Well Phantom Blood is basically Bram Stoker's Fist of the North Star, so there would be a lot of overlap even if Castlevania _didn't_ start throwing in actual jojokes
He and harmony of dissonance are the first castlevaina game I’ve ever played
Oh dear lord Juste shares a fixation of redecorating with my Mom and Great Grandma.
Everyone keeps saying they did him dirty in the show but I don't see it. Its only the first season and Juste only had two episodes and we still dont know everything. If I have ever seen an obvious set up for an arc it would be that.
In truth the show has bad writing imo so really imo castlevania nocturn did the castlevania series dirty. Though it's not cannon so I honestly could care less. I mean if I liked the direction I would watch more but nah I'm good personally.
I think the name "Goodness Gracious Great Balls OF Lightning" was supposed to be like, either reference the thunder bolts bit from Bohemenian Rhapsody, the "Great balls of fire" line from AC/DC's "Big Balls" or some weird combo there of to avoid copyrirght?
Great Balls Of Fire, avoiding Copyright. It was the Translators having Fun for the EU/US Release
From the great “Jerry Lee Lewis” may the legend Rest In Peace.
The man had his demons, but by god was he talented.
YES! FINALLY! My favorite Belmont!
