He literally had to play most of the games just to make a timeline. Damn this is some level of perservance and its awesome as hell

"I'll kill you AND the night!" YES! THAT is how you make a badass character a badass character! I love that line so much!

so Hector smashed Isaac's sister? what a revenge.

"I REJECT MY HUMANITY, JOJO!" Wait a minute...

Seeing Leon's portrait in Season 2 inside his Family's Ancestrial Vault that HE built and that his family stocked! It was such an Amazing 3 or 4 episodes to see them discovering artifacts and relics that would help destroy Dracula.

*Mathias (during the fight between Death and Leon):* "Okay. Leon's gonna die. Sucks, but them's the breaks. On a more pressing matter, I should probably redecorate. This place is so drab. Maybe a dungeon here. A pool table there. Might as well put in a lab while I'm at it...Maybe I should make it so that the castle can be flipped upside-down...Nah. Possibilities, possib-" _castle starts to crumble_ "WHAT THE HELL?!...Goddammit, DEATH! YOU HAD ONE JOB!"

That first part with Leon and Mathias is giving a certain vibe.... from an anime with muscular men...

Man the disrespect Grant must feel not being in the Netflix show

"We need an intimidating name for our villain vampire" "Let's name him Walter" "Brilliant"

The Castlevania team sure can pick those voice actors...

And Leons oath there would come to pass 905 years later, in the year 1999, when Dracula was felled once and for all at the hands Julius Belmont.

One thing you forgot to mention was Hector met an unusual gentleman by the name of St. Germaine, a traveler of sorts who seemed to know Zead and Hector discovered he has the ability to only see past events, but not interact with them. St. Germaine could have saved Elizabetha from dying, provide solice for Leon when Sara was sacrificed, Germaine could prove that Lisa and Rosalie were not witches, but sadly Germaine could only see how events play out, and not interfere with them.

Those one pixel of health moments I'm sure were intense

To think Mathias would've been invincible if he had just asked Leon to find a way to defeat Walter instead of kidnapping Sera and basically dooming him to becoming a mortal enemy

i knew Leon Belmont's voice sounded familiar, he is voiced by Dave Wittenberg who also voiced Kakashi Hatake in Naruto.

I love how death or either Dracula always says “NOO ITS IMPOSSIBLE !!!” Every time a protagonist kills him lol

I always wondered why Leon never questioned how Matthias came to know where Sarah had been taken.

Methias: LEON! I REJECT MY HUMANITY Leon: METHIASS!! (Jojo reference '3')

I don't know if you follow Smash Bros news, but Simon and Richter are gonna be in the new Smash with Dracula's Castle! It's amazing!

Who names a vampire "Walter"? Like what? Is he going to come out, borrow a cup of sugar, oh sorry just turned your wife into a vampire, but while I'm here can I borrow your lawnmower? Thanks neighbor.

What's up with everyone having their wives killed in these games?

Jesus Christ, the amount of scavenging for the visuals and footage for all this is amazing! I will never do a gameplay of Castlevania, ever.

I give my respect to Sara, she was willing to give her soul to the man she loved, to make sure no one suffered her fate again, to me that's the ultimate sacrifice of love ❤️

Wow Lament had some big names in it. Yuri lowenthal, crispin freeman, jameson price, micheal machonahie.

Hectors voice in this video game is Alucards voice in the Hellsing anime haha... it is a perfect voice though

Watched these a couple months ago and sent me on a huge Castlevania kick. And now that Simon and Richter are revealed for Smash Ultimate I hugely appreciated that where before these videos I wouldn't have cared. Thanks so much for taking the trouble to make all these!

This video was excellent! This is the best explanation I've ever seen on the CV story, keep it up good sir!

Lament of Innocence was so good, really hope Konami gets the series back on track

I binge watched all of these. I regret nothing. Excellent made series! _Razzle Joestar_

I know that cutscene was supposed to be taken seriously, but I just could not stop laughing at the cutscene where Leon had to kill Sara. I don't know if it was the intense "USE THE WHIP AGAINST SARA" line, or the carefree t-pose she does right before getting killed, but that part still makes me laugh

Man. That scream when Dracula learns his wife was burned haunts me to this day. What’s that from any way.

Damn. Castlevania's always been pretty dark and depressing. The Belmont's have it ROUGH. also, the voice acting for at least the main characters in most of the games is pretty good. I recognize at lot of them.

hold on, so Hector's love for animals was established even BEFORE Netflix Season 2? Holy shit

This one i looking for, the most comprehensive and orderly canonical of castlevania story.... i played many of this game, yet still confused because the scattering pieces, now i know the correct story, thx broo very nice work :D

Love this video! Very clear and coherent information about Dracula and the origins of evil!

So is Sara like... doomed to live forever in the whip? Can her soul see and hear stuff? Did Leon have the whip around when he was banging his second wife and continuing the Belmont bloodline by conceiving a kid? Did he at least put the whip in a drawer while he was getting it on with a new woman so Sara wouldn't be forced to watch? Jokes aside: I wish Leon and Sara had a child before the events of Lament of Innocence. I don’t like the idea that the legendary whip that’s gone down the Belmont bloodline for almost a thousand years is simply infused with the soul of... some chick an ancestor dated once. It would hold more meaning if Sara was actually part of the Belmont lineage.

Trevor killed all forces that crossed his path on the way to the castle. Zombies were destroyed, monsters got the whip, and some tree demons were torn down from their roost. Some friendly Owls were freed and began to fly towards Trevor, their savior, before **THWAP** owl chunks littered the ground. Our hero continued on..

I started watching this series for the Smash Ultimate Hype. Also because I haven’t played all the Castlevania games

I really like Issac's redesign in the netflix show

i think deaths line when hector kills him is funny "a mere human has beaten me" like why are you surprised its canonically happened two other times

Love that video, as a Castlevania fan I can only say THANK YOU! You put so much effort and love that it's like a Tale, amazing video.

Lol you know its technically karma that dracula lost his wife. I guess dracula forgot what he did over 400 years before.

This is by far, hands down the best storytelling experience anyone can have with the Castlevania series. This needs at least 10 000 000 views. Thank you for the awesome video good sir.

As a huge Castlevania fan I want to say thank you for being the only KZfaqr who has officially told the story correctly, the time you took with these videos truly shows how much you care about the series and how much you respect the story and characters, I hope you continue this amazing work and I hope your channel continues to grow.

Castlevania uses an old anime trope. It might have started it. Two best friends, one a cheery guy and one sad boy grow up together. Sad boy turns evil at some point and fights the cheery guy.

Sypha broke the castle lol

Binged the whole time line and just wanted to say Thank you! The amount of work is impressive and you explained it all very well.

Hi GamerThumb! I just found your timeline videos on the Castlevania series yesterday and I could not stop watching! You did a excellent job (and service to upcoming gamers and Castlevania fans) with explaining how all the games are connected. I’m a long time Castlevania fan and veteran but even though I’ve played through about 90% of the games completely, I really had no idea how they were all connected and honestly I just assumed that they were all mishmashed together with various details here and there about when Dracula returned, stuff about his “curse” and whatever in heck that meant for characters or the world, the storylines that included his body parts needing to be found, why Belmonts seemed to pass the torch to others down the centuries, it just didn’t make much collective sense until you put it all into perspective. It was ultimately the Castlevania Netflix Season 2 which got me wondering how this was all connected to Castlevania III and Curse of Darkness, but now after watching your entire timeline I can truly see that they really did not stray too crazily and most of everything seems to fit rather well as a cohesive story! Anyhow, good job sir for making one of the most entertaining series of videos on KZfaq! Subscribed!

This needs more views it's so well done and well edited

Bravo sir! I am blown away by the detail of this video. I appreciate all the hard work and polish you put into this.

Resi 1-5 done, time to settle into some Castlevania timeline until #6 comes out! The sheer amount of hard work you put into these videos still blows my mind. Editing and voiceover is top notch stuff. Got a couple of workmates watching the RE ones now too :D Thanks again!

I watched the complete series like a month ago, but I came back to say thank you and good job, this was really entertaining to watch and well narrated.

Great job with that explanation! This is much clearer than the other videos I watched! I'm starting to adore Castlevania, to the point where it may surpass my love of the Zelda Franchise. I suppose My gamer Thumb is ready to smack the whip in the next episode. (Whatever that means)

Love how you have Dracula Looking at the next Timeline

This is great! made for fans by a Huge fan this is the most comprehensive and easy to follow Castlevania time line series i have ever seen I want this done for other games as well. This sets a new standard I also love the fact that that source material is used to tell this tale bravo good sir!

I've seen a lot of videos about the lore of Castlevania but I have to say this was by far the best, wow it almost felt like a movie. I have to subscribe after watching this, definitely I'm going to recommend it to everyone who wants to know more about Castlevania. Well, time for part 2!

My god. I had only heard of Castlevania: Lament of Innocence in passing, something I only saw referenced occasionally on TV Tropes. I'd never seen it before. That game looks amazing! 3D Castlevania with awesomely cheesy voice acting and a solid story behind it? Why didn't this work! Man, add on another reason to regret not having a PS2, that game looks like it'd have been hella fun.

A great narration of this wonderful games! Thank you and now I am on my way to the next part ;)

FINALLY someone who Explained the Whole lore about Leon Belmont my fav character very detailed. And you kept mention him over the other videos. This is absolute perfection i watch them every time

This video was absolutely insane ! Since I've watched Castlevania on Netflix I've been interested in those games and their story. Thanks for the great video !

I fucking knew it that the voice actor of Leon Belmont was Adol Christen from Ys anime. Dave Wittenberg has such an amazing strong, sincere voice.

What an amazing video pal, really you did an extremely great job. I'll keep watching this series of videos. Thanks for this content. Really well explain.

rewatching the tale of my favorite series, you are possibly one of the best lore tellers on youtube.

This video is what introduced to the world of Castlevania. So thank you for making this video.

Is it me or did the movie Dracula Untold (2014) felt like it had a hint of Castlevania, indirectly, like if it was a success theres a chance they might've went that way

This is amazing like finally i can understand the Castlevania Timeline

Man you laid out that story line like a boss thanks my wife was all confused and this really helped me better describe it

This real great work! Clears up so much!!!Cant wait for the last one!

"I'll kill you AND the night!!!" Sooooo Leon.... Buddy.... HOW.... Pray tell do you plan on killing a part of the earth's rotation?

Lisa I am killing...I am killing our boy ^ that line fucking made me tear up

Some time to time I Resee those videos. Master pieces!

The Vampire whip gives the user MORE than amazing supernatural abilities...it gives YOU AN AMAZING HAIRSTYLE

I love the manga scans of Hector and Isaac's backstory, though I loved the Netflix Isaac best. Thank you!

This is awesome. Your hard work is appreciated. Subbed and recommended!

Awesome! Great storytelling and it clarified the timeline! Will watch the next episode! You earned my sub! Thanks!

hoooly crap you did absolutely over the top for this compilation and timeline man!!! keep it up!! more story sequels to come!!!

I love Castlevania! I've played since Dracula X. After awhile I have discovered the NES classics. Since then, I wanted to learn more and this explanation of the timeline is better than most other timeline videos I've watched. I am totally gonna sub also because you also did a good job with the LoZ timeline. Great videos Thumb. You also have A Twitter?

This is friggin fantastic.

Perfectly made. Thanks... I cant miss every detail of this video... I even rewind alot.

What a great show!! Will certainly watch parts 2 and 3.

Hector was done dirty in the anime and that's very sad.

Leon was fucking awesome, wish we could have seen him a few more times

this is one of the best time line videos I have ever seen on youtube not one thing was out of place good work value one big vania heart ♡

New follower and watched the whole playlist yesterday, but going through it again. Great videos looking forward to watching your future work

My problem with this series is that Konami won't make some sort of massive collection of these games on modern consoles. How do you expect people to be able to play them if they're extremely hard to find? It was extremely fucking hard for me to find Order of Oclessia.

27:13 Don't worry boss! I'll help you---OH GOD DAMNIT!!!

Thank you so much for making this video. I just watched Netflix's Castlevania and it really makes me invest more in the story.

you are awesome. Its like watching a movie. The narration the video editing everything is perfect to the last detail.

Whoa cool series, gonna listen to this

Now that I think about it, shouldn't Death be the priority to the Belmonts? I mean, from the Church killing Lisa, to the countless resurrections of Dracula, shouldn't be clear to both Dracula and Belmonts that Death may be betraying Dracula and using him to clear out the human race so that the demons from hell can reign supreme? Death could've been behind both Elisabeth's and Lisa's death.

This is some Hollywood level production, man. I watched the Castlevania series on Netflix and thought the world building was really good so I wanted to know more about the backstory and, boy, did you sure deliver. I thought I might find a cheap and easy 3 minute glossing over of the history by some video game website trying to capitalize on the series popularity but this is amazing. You're very talented.

I love you vids dude. Can't wait for RE Part 6. Till then I'm gonna binge the rest of the Timeline Series

Every time I see Lisa burned, it’s gut wrenching for me. I can’t imagine what Alucard and Dracula went through.

Hector: we must call Belmont, it was he who slew Dracula before he can help us! Julia: Alas I cannot Hector: but why? Julia: he suffered a terrible injury, I barely saved his life, but even now, it hangs by a thread Hector: Have you never been in this castle before?! Just find a roasted chicken, feed it to him and he’ll be fine!

Man, This and your Zelda time line series are amazing. I would LOVE to see you do more franchises in the future!

Kudos to you sir for the time and effort making this video. This is an amazing explainer and you are very good at what you do!

I so love this series!

I realize that the Castlevania show uses Trevor’s curse of darkness design

Thank you for these videos. I love this franchise. You've also gained a new subscriber
