What are the Belmonts views on killing Lord Dracula: Simon: "Although Dracula is objectively evil, you must still respect him in a fight, as he was once a human, and is still a great warrior and scientist" Richter: *"Show the finger and hydrostorm the fucker"*

When Richter got announced for Smash and everyone collectively went "Who?" My heart completely sank because he was my dream pick even though I knew how much more likely Simon was.

This guy stormed a giant monster ridden castle for his girlfriend and then fight the lord of darkness. Now that is a man. Too bad the Belmonts lost the whip because of his possession by shaft though

Funny how smash players be crying about Belmonts projectiles I'm like wow have any of you played castlevania

Divine Bloodline gives me life, Richter definitely has the best theme.

Finally, Richter deserved the glory treatment.

I think Meti has passed his "Filthy acts at a reasonable price" phase and is starting a full-blown alliteration phase.

How many of you are watching this after the Netflix series?

Shaft: We will now take the maidens. Dracula: Now we have them all. Annette: When richter finds out what you did he’s gonna stop you. Shaft: Richter who? Annette: Richter Belmont. Shaft and Dracula: Oh shit.

Got an ad for Belmont University.

Simon: "Richter remember that even though Dracula is a lord of the Dark, a vampire. He was a human in his previous life. Fight with honor" Richter: "Great Great Great Great grandfather... you want me to show the lord of darkness, the vampire of the night honor? He caused the town pain and suffering" Simon: " To think that my descendant grandchildren were this crass"

Just a quick bit of context that might clear something up for you. You might remember, Dracula reveals that he's less interested in a bride and more interested in turning the eternal feud with the Belmonts into a game this time. So, that map Richter has might actually be something that was dropped off by minions infiltrating the village as a part of setting up the ambush. If you count the remake's retelling as the completed version of the story, then you can also conclude that a key part of the ambush was to herd Annette along through the path out of the village so Richter would witness her kidnapping. You know, if you have time and room in your plans, you could probably do a whole Dracula X compendium feature by Halloween. Your attentiveness and presentation could really do it all justice. I'd be interested in your take on Dracula XX, as you seem to have a knack for looking into things most people overlook.

I personally liked Richter's Symphony Of The Night design, it was very badass, to say the least.

I legit just beat Richter in Portrait of Ruin. The timing on this getting recommended is astounding.

In a way Richter and Jotaro are very similar, both changed the franchise drastically, both are the most iconic protagonists of their franchise and both desired to give a good heritage for the future.

Every time I hear the word "Shaft" I hear a chorus of black women repeat it. Is that normal?

It hurts me so much coming to this video and remembering what netflix did with richter in the animated series, why netflix, why...

Because of how important my boy Richter and Simon are, I really want see both in the Castlevania Netflix series. The story that could be told with both of them would be amazing.

"One chance for each Belmot to shine" Simon and Trevor X doubt

Richter Belmont is one of my favorite characters of all time period. He has everything I like in a character. Bad assry coupled with a design to go with it (and I like all of his designs with his Dracula X chronicles version being my personal favorite) ALSO backed by his theme which is the type of theme I’d expect for a “righteous hero here to bring justice upon evil” (minor tidbit my favorite color is blue and his coat color being blue meant I took an affinity to him right off the bat) He’s the most fun Belmont to play as well due to all the acrobatic stuff he can do alongside his dashing whip attack. Another aspect I like is despite his strengths he was shown to have weakness just as anybody else and to me that did strengthen his character since while he achieved many things in his lifetime he had moments where he fell from grace (even if his clan had to suffer majorly for it before being redeemed by the Morris Clan) and I really thought that brought out a very human aspect to him. I remember the day fondly where I saw him being announced as playable for SSBU and I went ballistic and mained him since day one. He’s currently my highest rating character in Elite Smash and I even preordered and bought his amiibo. Also before anyone says it no I am not a spammer, only scrubs spam projectiles as Belmont’s as I tend to be more aggressive with the whip than with the projectiles. Only times I spam is when it’s absolutely warranted (like facing another camper). Otherwise I use the projectiles more as to condition my opponent and for set ups. All in all Richter Belmont is a character I absolutely adore and he’s the main reason I love Castlevania as a series as a whole. While the series isn’t short of characters who are potentially more cooler and had better achievements than him (like Alucard) he’ll always remain the best and most unique in my eyes. “I’m a Belmont, that’s my job”-Richter Belmont

Netflix: So let’s do like, none of that, and also change like several things for no reason besides appealing to “modern audiences.”

Ah, yes. Richter. The character who, when faced with someone with a reflector, does not know how to operate.

Small correction: Defeating the Whip's Memory is not a proof of the worthy, it's just a test necessary to open the whip's true power. The reason it was sealed was actually to prevent a non-Belmont from overusing it and dying. The only way to achieve the whip's true power is through a ritual between the wielder and the Lecarde family, also trusted by the Belmonts. John had the whip unlocked and overused it, while Jonathan didn't, so the whip didn't have time to kill him.

When do we get the War of 1999, Konami!? Gimme my Julius!

Im returning to this video because of Nocturne, and so far, IM LOVING IT!!!

Now honestly he is my favorite Belmont out of the series. With Rondo of Blood and Dracula X Chronicles being my favorites of the classic platforming era. Though i am surprised you brought up that gnarly audio drama, it did have an interesting story though never answered why the Belmonts went inactive.

Netflix’s Castlevania Nocturne verison of Richter is nothing like the game's counterpart.

Great vid, Richter is one of my favorite characters.

Richter wanting to kick Dracula’s ass for eternity is kind of hilarious.

Mad respect for including the radio drama! Everyone forgets about it. A video about Shanoa or Maria would be awesome to see. As always, I love your content

When I was this early, Dio is still a human

Great video as always, definitely one of my favorite Belmonts to go over

Richter wouldn't have fallen under Shaft's spell if he knew his battles would last for eternity when he joined Smash Ultimate.

Also this is a great video that pulls up some tiny things I didn't notice. I never looked at Richter and Dracula like that until you put both portraits next to each other. You also reminded me it's October so thanks bud.

Meti out here flexing with his H words

My favorite Belmont! He has such an interesting story.

I really like how the narrator gives you information that would bring more questions but he answers them as he goes along. I was truly entertained to the point of dusting of the old Nes and did a 20 hour marathon of Simon's quest. I forgotten what castlevania is, the atmosphere and styles, the ideas of fear being embracing and misunderstood to those who fear the abyss

love all the variety in this series, it's really cool, i dont even play castlevania nor smash, but im still down b/c it's your content. keep up the good work!

Man these videos are great.

Didn't expect a video on Richter, glad to see it !

I'd love a season in the animated series where we get to watch Richter One Punch Man his way through to Dracula

I don't care what anyone says. Richter Belmont is the best and most iconic Belmont ever created. The old are cool and the new are easily forgotten but they blue suit and white ryu headband will forever be immortalized

Havent even finished the video yet and am already sold on the intro alliteration. Brilliant.

Sick video I seriously like you style and you picked my favorite Belmont.

Who's here after the first season of Castlevania Nocturne?

Yeah. Richter's my head canon for what represents Castlevania. I have to say though, I've gotten every version of SotN except the Saturn one. And I've always been sad that there's no playable SotN Sprite Richter, he's only playable in his RoB Sprite, they even use it in his battle with Alucard, but the one you see in the Colosseum never returns. Is it an extra costume for him in Smash? That'd be super cool.

Richter isn’t studying the map for the layout. He’s studying it because of the common areas that reappear in each Castlevania game. There is the courtyard, the clock tower, some have caves underneath as well as dungeons then there’s also the throne room where Dracula is.

I did not know half of the post-game stuff about him breaking traditions and how meta it was Glorious, indeed. Glorious.

While i firmly believe Simon is the epitome of what a Belmont is, Brave, Stalward, Unendingly determined. Richter could also compete for that title as well. Just in his own, unique way. A brilliant character, Truly.

Next, the glory and tragedy of Adrian "Alucard" Tepes

Who's here after Netflix released a new Castlevania trailer with RICHTER fuckin BELMONT?!

Anyone here after Castlevania Nocturne

Sweet sweet alliteration. well played, subbed. takes balls to take it to that level these days!

the alliteration at the beginning was pure poetry.

Awesome video, I learned some more great facts about 2 series I love, Castlevania and Jojo. Keep up the great work, you have earned a new subscriber

That was some fantastic alliteration, well done!

When are we getting the Glory of Jonathan Joestar? That man needs more respect

Random side note am I the only one still wishing for s gsme where you play Julius in his prime?

this got recommended after a official teaser of the castlevania animation series starring as ritcher belmont. bless the algorithm

Holy...this was an awesome find for my favorite Belmont character! (Tho my fav character in the whole series is Alucard) going a bit deeper in the lore for Richter and giving out neat facts? Super awesome! Ultimate Belmont indeed! And i see even more interesting shiz! Waifu stuff, different character lore dives, anime shiz, series questions, etc. I love this stuff and this channel looks awesome! Heck yeah! Imma subscribe and binge some good shiz! Thanks!

The war of 1999? Wait a minute… In the anime “Hellsing Ultimate”, the major declared war on England and Alucard in 1999! Is that possibly the war Richter was preparing the future generations of monster hunters for?

"So you are the one called Shaft?"

Great video I subscribed 👍🏾

This video was so awesome I subscribed. When I started Smash Ultimate I had no clue who Richter was. I just knew he was from Castlevania. I started playing with him and wad hooked, even in smash he’s really cool and energetic compared to Simon. This video was a big help in helping me understand how cool this character is. This whole time I been playing Smash I had no cool how absolutely badass this character was. Thanks for reaffirming my suspicion that the character I was gonna choose to main was gonna end up being super awesome.

I came here after seeing the upcoming Netflix show "Castlevania: Nocturne" 😁😁😁😅😅😅😅

Please do a video about Christopher Belmont. He was the first to defeat Dracula *twice* within the canon and become aware of the Count's 100 year pattern of resurrection.

btw you got one thing wrong, the whip does not drain the life force of the unworthy, quite the opposite, it is in a weak and seal state until released by confronting the whip's memory, which is him, it is harmless but also an useless weapon in its sealed state, but once released it returns to its full power, although that comes at the cost of the user's lifespan because of that power.

Dude! That intro. Well done.

Simon will always be my personal favorite Belmont (though Grant is my favorite Castlevania character) but no one can deny the massive Chad energy the Richter brings to the table

These alliterations are god tier

Am always amazed at any alluring application of alliteration, anytime, anywhere

When ya get the news Richter is coming on Netflix 🔥🔥🔥

Truly the greatest Belmont!

I dunno, I liked the aristocratic look more than the generic shounen look he had in Rondo of Blood. Guess that's just me though.

Could've sworn julius is considered the strongest Belmont

So new season of Castlevania is coming out... don't think we are getting this version of the character....

And then there's netflix Richter 🙃

Richter Belmont is one of my favorite belmonts. While he was probably one of the strongest belmonts his own hubris would bring the end to the belmonts for years. His design is one of the best of the series. Juste is also one of my favorites and probably is the strongest in terms of magic. Richter having the ability to use the item crash and how his sub weapons being the strongest in the series. With all this power brings hubris and his want to kill Dracula would bring the end of the belmonts for years. Then dracula took advantage of that and mind controlled him. Then his family would be cursed for years and after that he wouldn't be able to ever use the vampire killer ever again.

I am coming back to this video because of Castlevania: Nocturne.

The fact we are getting Richter's story for Castlevania Netflix. Him using Hydro Storm going to be hype

There was one jojo who was just a regular guy who died in a war. It was the jojo before Joseph I think.

This is an old video, but if you happen to see this, what are your thoughts on Richter being anounced as the new mc of the Castlevania tv show?

and this is why Richter is my favorite belmont. and the one i continue to cosplay as every halloween

Castlevania: Nocturne just got a new teaser. LFGGG.......

My favorite character. Sad that the series betrayed the Belmont's in favor of Alucard.

Now that Castlevania is going to have Richter (as Trevor and Sypha son) I kind of look forward to seeing how this item magic plays out in the series.

Very nice

11:10 I don't know if anyone has said that earlier but this isn't the actual title for this game- it was actually given by fans since this project didn't even had a title before being abandoned. In fact, this project had been abandoned so early that all we know for sure is that it was meant to appear for Sega 32X and there is a sneak peak of three sprites of characters that eventually were heavily redrawn for SotN

So Richter is the Giorno of the Belmonts.

Castlevania "Bloodletting" is not the official name of the cancelled game. As a matter of fact it's fan created and there was no name given to the cancelled game.

That was a really impressive alliteration. Just wanted to compliment that.

awesome

Please do a Beauty of/Glory of Vergil!

Richter is my favorite JoJo

That alliteration at the beginning was fire.

0:26 BARS, those are some BARS, man.

Quick friendly reminder that Julius Belmont was, by all accounts, the strongest Belmont physically and magic-wise. Otherwise, good video.

He was the greatest magic user of the Belmonts but not the strongest. The lore says every Belmont is stronger than the last. That would make Julius technically the strongest

LETS FREAKING GOOOOOOO

There's nothing more terrifying in smashed when you go up against a Richter that doesn't use their throwables just come straight up like a boxer. And you never know when they will throw something.
