The fact he was excluded from the Netflix show for having a "dumb name" is just stupid. I feel like they didn't bother looking into the character at all past a US game manual.

Poor bastard. Not only did his crush end up with another guy, but he didn’t even get to be in the Netflix castlevania series. He was one of the major players and deserves appreciation

Grant was pretty important to Castlevania as a whole, Trevor was a trained since he was born to be a vampire Hunter and carried a magical whip, Sypha was a sorceress and Alucard was Dracula's son, what did Grant represent? The common man, the kind of man that looked at the threat Dracula was and refused to let that happen, who impressed Dracula so much that rather than kill him he turned him into a servant, and that once freed from his curse he had no doubts in continuing his mission, showing the resolve that allowed him to stand next to legnds as an equal and a legend of his own. Also the whole "Why would there be a pirate in a landlocked country" bullshit was incredibly dumb considering how inaccurate the whole show was with the time period, especially when they showed a hilariously inaccurate map of eastern europe, which meant the world was different enough from our own than they could have simply said that due to the existence of vampires that Wallachia still have access to the Black Sea through the Danube or something.

Not including him in the Netflix adaptation was rough. Putting him as an allusion to be made fun of by Trevor and Saint Germaine was uncalled for. And the final slap in the face was having two characters like him but not him in the final season. Yes, his only powers was tiny knives and sweet hops, but he had heart!

The most baffling thing about this is that grant is not a hard character to write. Literally the thief with a heart of gold archetype. Literally just have him be trevor’s rival friend whose a comic relief.

Man, so happy you're giving this guy some attention. Him being brushed under the rug for the new Castlevania series never sat well with me

The Robert E.O. Speedwagon of the Castlevania series.

Alongside Christopher Belmont, they are the most unlucky protagonists of the entire franchise being absolute forgotten by their company at every single turn.

Nobody forgot him, they just went “We are not worthy of this greatness,” and didn’t try

They could've made Hammer in Aria/Dawn of Sorrow Grant's descendant, but NOOOOOOO

As a Heavy main, I must first express my rage at having my main be called cursed. And as a Heavy main, I must second admit that he absolutely has been cursed.

When I saw the ship captain Isaac interacted with in the Netflix show I was hoping for some kind of reference to Grant

Let's just hope Grant Danasty may one day finally be recognize for his importance in Castlevania.

They really need to expand upon the Danasty Dynasty

That does it Next time I play a rogue in D&D, he's gonna be a Dynasty Let's honor the poor bastard with the amazing mobility and bad attack

I really don't understand why the Netflix show completely forevent including Grant in spite of the theme of revenge that echoes throughout the seasons. Grant's quest for vengeance could've contrasted well with Isaac's own initial desire to enact vengeance for the very same man who served as the source of Grant's hatred. It would have been neat to see the two interact and bounce off of each other. What is the difference between righteous vengeance and self-indulgent hatred? Is it what you intend to do afterwards to honor your loss? Or is there even a difference?

Meti is so bitingly critical in this one and I love it so much. Justice for grant

I couldnt start to appreciate him till Judgement where he got a more standout design. Poor guy got shafted hard but still has a good ass name

I was so sad about Grant's exclusion from the Netflix series, he's my favorite Castlevania character :(

He was blessed by not being in the netflix series considering the game of thrones clone abomination it became post season 2.and how awful nocturne is

Honestly I assume Grant is not a popular character in Japan and not being like by the developers. Compared to the others, I wouldn’t be surprise that they considered Grant forgettable.

Justice for Grant! He was my favorite to play back in the day.

Its so weird seeing such a cool character be Ignored. In gameplay alone he sounds like a real trip to play as, a hyper mobile Character with very poor offensive abilities relying in positioning and item use. Hell In Dead Cells you give the Beheaded a knife and he is pretty much Grant, only missing the ability to climb ceelings.

“Hack” is right! The writing on the Netflix show was abysmal. Leaving Grant out is a blessing in hindsight. I’d hate to see what Ellis would’ve done to him. And it’s mind boggling, when you realize that Trevor, Sypha & Alucard never cross paths with Hector, Isaac or Carmilla. Anyway, that aside, great video on Grant! Really interesting about the origins of his name.

With all the changes made in the animated series, the "reasons" to exclude Grant just sound like excuses, really.

Finally someone talks about Grant being done dirty. The Brando CV3 music video might be one of the most recognition he has gotten in recent years.

Mojoplays (the Video game version of Watchmojo) said that grant dynasty was cut because Warren Ellis first thought thought he was making a movie of Castlevania and grant can’t fit the setting, before Castlevania turns into a tv series. Saint Germain also mentioned Grant Dynasty.

Grant does not deserve such disrespect.

“You live for the sake of others, your tales will passed down for eternity.” - Aeon’s finisher quotes to Grant Danasty(Castlevania Judgment). … Later, ignored by Netflix 😢.

Guy had the potential to be the Sokka of the Netflix series, the light-hearted yet resolute Everyman on a team of super special demigods.

How rare to see a video on grant.

Grant was the only one smart enough to avoid being in the animated series, I call that lucky.

New video from Meti is a win. Keep up the great content!

Any CV character spared the indignation of appearing in the shitflix show is the ultimate mercy.

Konami: WHO!?

Heck I wasn't even a big fan of Grant but when the show came out and they got to Alucard, I was looking at the screen going "you guys are still missing someone, where's the thief?"

Fun fact Grant is the original creator of the Dirty Sanchez which was called Da Nasty when it was originated.

Awesome! And happy halloween man!🎃🎃🎃🧡🧡🧡🖤🖤🖤

seeing this video appear in my sub box was such a massive surprise to me, because grant will always be my favorite character in all of castlevania; due to his outstanding playstyle in JP 3 (seriously, you can skip a lot of parts in the levels with him and cheese certain bosses), incredible portrayal in judgment (kirk thornton, aka shadow the hedgehog for anyone curious), and super underdog nature (to the point where his wiki page has a whole list of his exclusions). I'll always be an advocate for the guy, and I'll keep doing so till the day I die. quick critiques though, while he was indeed excluded from CotM 1, he did eventually get an analogue in 2 in the form of robert, which did mend the wounds of the first one a bit. and to be honest, even though I love the character, I do kinda get why they didn't have him be in the metroidvania games, due to his climb on walls and ceilings style not really meshing well with how the games work. and last thing; besides greta (who absolutely should've been the version of him in the show, but I'm pretty sure the supreme grant hater warren ellis was breathing down their necks when making her), there was another red herring character in the form of the captain that isaac talked to. (also considering you used axl and silver in your cursed character montage, I'm beginning to think my preferred characters are the super unpopular ones 😅)

Lock is a *Treasure Hunter*, thank you.

It just flat out surprises me that they didn't do anything with the whole Danesti clan rivaling Dracula thing. So much wasted story potential. The pirate/sailor thing even sets up why he has such skills as an acrobat and knife fighter. Like Trevor could ask where Grant learned his abilities and Grant could tell him that when he first tried to fight against Dracula's minions that he nearly died and realized that he needed way more training and skills, so he spent a few years sailing around the orient and other places picking up various physical and esoteric abilities.

If it were me i would've made Grant a Robin Hood type character maybe a bit of a revolutionary help persuade the locals to see the faults of the church rather just blindly following them meanwhile he could've been in the opening episode remembering the year that Dracula gave to Wallachia gathering a group of resistance fighters all for them to easily be wiped out, him presumed dead rather he is cursed as one of draculas minions. He wouldn't have to show back up unit like somewhere in season 2 with Trevor and the crew defeating him and breaking the curse.

#GRANTSWEEP

Grant: I tell ya, I get no respect! No respect at all!

It makes me so angry that the writer for the netflix series twisted both Castlevania, and Nocturnes story to an absurd extent. What an absolute punch in the gut to the fans of the series

ohh the tatsuya suou reference in the opening. too real too raw too painful

Grant Denasty is in your walls looking for treasure

Sole respect for Grant, finally!

Please more Castelvania Videos

If Netflix didn't make him a throw-away joke line he could have been one of the survivors of the village Dracula attacked that had all the greedy men that was warned not to go back to the village but still did for the money. Grant being one of the few men who left with the women and children could have just had a view of him and that's it

I have a feeling it has to do with his moveset. Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 had Robert who had limited mobility but had the "normal human" archetype.

Even though he died a virgin, he was a true Chad at heart...

I hate it when this happens to a character, I hope he gets his time.

Apparently Hammer also got cut from being an Assist Summon from Grimoire of Souls, too.

Grant Da Nasty....its his pirate title. Thats why the "a" is lower case in the manual and then the "D" is uppercase. Just a play on words.

Grant was arguably cursed since Castlevania III went overseas, where he got massively nerfed. From having the throwing knife as his basic attack to a short ranged stab...

ITS MY BOY GRANT

Pro tip for other times when you see romanian words: Ș is read like sh (like shoot or shit) Ț is read like tz (in tzar) Ă is read like uh  is read like a combination between U and I but said with disgust (i recommend using google translate's voice feature because it's a sound not often heard in English) And everything else is said as if you'd speak latin. Mostly.

ROSE LETS FUCKING GO BEST PART OF THIS VIDEO

TF2 Heavy. Nice, is inside!

I’m still on my first C3 playthrough and I got Sypha. How do I get Grant for my second playthrough? Edit: I FINALLY BEAT THE GAME 3 DAYS AGO! Edit 2: on a second playthrough, found Grant. Is there anyway to have all three allies with you, or do you have to choose just one? Edit 3: Since Alucard is kinda integral to Richter’s story, best way they could make up not having Grant in the original series is having Alucard tell Richter about a time he met Grant and how the latter helped the former out during a big battle that happened after Season 4.

Justice for Danasty

METI IS A FELLOW HEAVY MAIN???

MY FAVORITE CHARACTER FINALLY GETTING REP! 😭

Poor man...he can't even..gets another chance..

Really? That's the reason my boi isn't in the netflix series? Man they did him dirty, poor guy.

maybe we'll see Lucia again ;-;

Dracula was scared of goblin mode humans.

omggg is that the guy from one piece?

ALL GLORY TO GOD DANASTY

Ah the guy who went through Danastiest shit ever...

Grant Deserves a redesign and New Back story instead of him being a thief Why not a soldier or a descendant of New breed of humans

Im always gonna be salty over Grant's treatment. Justice for Grant Danasty!!!

Grant has been cursed ever since Konami USA nerfed him in 1990.

they cut down grant from the netflix show because it would have been too many characters and then proceeded to flood the next 4 seasons with lame boring characters that added little to the story and no one cared about

Man, listening to this got me upset. Poor guy didnt deserve the mistreatment.

Still a pirate in my eyes 😂 just messing with you. Bur he do looks like one. But i understand his not. He was op in Castlevania 3 yeah. I felt like i was cheating when i first used him. I git used to his short attack. I think people don't like him because his not as pretty as yhe the other party members

Meti stay hitting

God the Netflix show was so fucking bad lmao

Ah yes. Too bad Greta from Castlevania was not a gender swapped Grant...

Such a let down we never got to see him as the pirate of the roads in the Netflix show and complete the squad

Lol am I the only one who clicked on the video despite not knowing at all who the guy featured in it was ?

Was he really that nasty?

More reasons to despise Netflixvainia, awful show.

"hack fraud" is a hell of a way to describe Ellis. He's an asshole for sure (by all evidence criminally so), but hes objectively a skilled writer and director. You undermine your own argument when you try to write him off as incompetent, especially when you misrepresent obvious jokes as his main reasons, when the explicit main reason was the same reason Iga himself neglected Grant over and over -- he doesnt fit well in stories. He's a fifth wheel to the story of Trevor and Sypha, Dracula and Alucard.

Didn't they have a town in Castlevania Netflix called Danasty?
