Appreciate you! 🙏

@@KaizokuSleven You're welcome Young King 👑.

There's a trope for that kind of spellcasting it's called "Full Contact Magic" it's very hard to animate, due to how fluid it is. But like you included, everyone loves it because it is far more lively and exciting than the static spellcasting you typically see in the media that has magic. Another media that has Full Contact Magic is Bayonetta for video game examples.

@@kylegivens3120 Dope thanks i didn't really know it had a name but yeah it's so awesome. Will have to look into this more

When she starts skating......game over. That's imagination.

Thanks for the info. For me this was definitely the highlight of season 3. Sypha went from badass to God tier when she did this.

@@ruminator3570 Lol.

Yeah, a lot better than most relationships nowadays 😅

She also uses it to slow trevor when Dracula threw him at her and to slow Draculas meteor/fireball

I would argue that goes to Isaac but she is well written as a runner up.

@@KaizokuSleven yeah the original Issac was kinda bleh

Literally every main character is done so well in the show that I'm hesitant to look at the originals

Yea, she's a serious powerhouse.

@@KaizokuSleven i find that quite ironic as the speakers are presented as holy pacifists, meanwhile Syppha is just going around killing everything in sight

@@maks-tldr56 a “who gave the cleric a gun” situation

She's a mage, a glass cannon. Alucard and Trevor are far more durable, every time she gets hit though she either gets a scar or loses the fight.

@@maks-tldr56 In guisw of self-defense to protect herself and mankind. Kinda Wonder Woman, moreso the DCEU iteration of the latter.

It's both a combination of mental/physical exhaustion of fighting non-stop and a fetus draining her energy lol.

What's interesting is that it looks like cold air. As in she hasn't mastered wind, and props it up with ice to supplement it.

🤣🤣

I usually gravitate to Rogue/Melee characters like Trevor but the way Sypha and Issac were portrayed made being a mage really intriguing

Right, a well rounded female character is a rarity nowadays

Good observation and interpretation.

I also did wonder about her never seeming to run out of magic because generally when you make a character appear always powerful and to not have any vulnerabilities like that, it can make the character kinda boring. But then I did notice that when the trio goes and faces the vampire generals and soldiers, Sypha pullls off some impressive large scale attacks, but then when they face off with Dracula, her attacks are smaller. She doesn't run out of magic but she can get exhausted and i think that matches up pretty well with your interpretation.

@@CasieMod I think her attacks shrunk because she’s close to her friends, fire is a powerful magic but it doesn’t discriminate, if her attacks were larger, her Allies would be at risk of getting caught in the flames, hell it even almost happens when she was blasting Dracula in the face, she notices the flames are getting too close to Alucard and let’s up

Agreed, Her mana manipulation is off the scale. Especially against an expert mage like Dracula

It’s all good & I hope all your hard work payed off in your career progression. Looking forward to see your perspective in other comment sections.

(Concerning Grant)True but that was only due to the fact that he distanced himself after Sypha looked over him to end up with Trevor.

Grant was left out because the prospects of a Landlocked pirate seemed stupid to Warren Ellis. Even though Grant was a thief turned rebel and not a pirate. Grant was one of the rebels that fought back against Dracula when he first started attacking, even before Trevor got asked by the Pope to investigate what happened to Wallachia and why they had no more contact. Plus after Trevor used the Vampire Killer to kill Dracula, with Alucard going back to slumbering, Trevor and Sypha going off to adventure together before marrying, Grant was the only one out of all of them that actually actively traveled around and used the money that he stole from Dracula’s Castle to rebuild the destroyed Wallachia. Not only did he use it as a way to rebuild his home, but he also used the rebuilding as a way to distract himself from the fact that his best friend (Trevor) was marrying the woman he loved (Sypha).

@@KaizokuSleven that is likely true. I do not hide my lack of deep lore knowledge of Castlevania 3

@@Youmama187 It's all good. I'm not the most knowledgable person in the Castlevania series either

@@DANTVSVERGIL The easiest way around Warren's issue would have been to have Grant be the captain who Dracula sailed back home with, blaming him for not arriving in time and cursing him like in the game. Though other than replacing the captain that sets Issac on his new path, there isn't much to do with him afterward and he probably would be a strain on an already packed cast. Not to mention harboring feelings for Sylpha would have made things awkward. With those two things in mind I can see why the writers were hestitant.

Quite possibly yea, or just slight flex to let people know that she's not so fragile lol

@@KaizokuSleven 💪🏾. I hadn't taken into account the "Flex Factor" 🤣 👍🏾

Right, the most intimacy we saw was them laying in bed together

Glad to hear this was to your liking overall.

Thank you for always tuning in

Oh man, I truly appreciate that! Here's to continuing to deliver the content that you gravitate towards & Happy Holidays to you my brotha!

Glad I could deliver for the holidays 👍

Appreciate that & I look forward to do doing those in the future. Especially since Cowboy Bebop is 1 of my favorite seinens of all time.

100% & thank you.

In another words, the show haxed Sipha down from being a goetic witch who conjures and pactise with elemental spirits and demons alike, to be simply an arcane alchemist-warrior enchantress with psionic/magic based elemental powers and abilities, in order to emphasize the science fiction elements of the Netflix show while removing one of the protagonistic characters from being subjected to harsh religious criticisims about the glorification of so-called Satanic and other noxious Pagan practises by Western television and cinema?

Appreciate it & glad you enjoyed.

Appreciate you 🙏

I hope it was to your liking

@@KaizokuSleven it really was! I would’ve loved for it to be longer since Sypha’s my favorite but I could honestly watch hour long videos of these characters so don’t feel bad lol. It was a great video for Sypha and I enjoyed it very much. Good work. :) you’ve def got a fan out of me.

@@LittleChaosMachine I'm glad but I will note that there are some folks like you out there who's attention spans cater to long format videos lol

Right! it's almost as if it's instinctual and spiritual. Maybe the writer of the series was adapting the way that she used spirits to grant her elemental abilities instead of chanting words like most mages in fiction?

@@KaizokuSleven Great point 🎓🦉

Agreed 100%

Nice catch on the parallel of how they fall into each others arms, can't believe I missed that. And yes it was refreshing to see how Trevor flipped the education sessions between them in Season 4 compared to how she was doing to him concerning magic in Season 2.

If enough people demand it? We'll see

Lol yea she can be but it's the same for Trevor and Alucard as well. Alucard more understandable since he's Dracula's son

Bro she’s a Mary sue needed to be rescued by trevor because she was petrified, only just to call him rude with no appreciation. She's later seen conjuring lightning bolts with no explanation, she then saws about 3 enemies into pieces during the confrontation with Sala, she can seemingly fly, she can burn down entire buildings. All of this would be fine if it had been explained. She’s not even that powerful in the game, which the writer admitted that he have not played the game. But He did a great job for what it is worth but still, if she was that overpowered then why was she petrified in the first place? Because she didn't have those powers then? You could argue it was implied she learned new tricks during her travels with Trevor but again, this just boils down to bad writing which brings me to my original point. None of it is explained or explained well. Character development should never be implied. The only time her character faced any flaw that could deter her from being called a mary sue was being petrified which lasted for around 3 minutes in total. "I feel like y’all call any woman who’s powerful a mary sue." Like What about Carmilla? The council of sisters? All of which are extremely powerful yet have a plethora of weaknesses from being vampires. I still like their characters despite some of their flaws. None of this has anything to do with the fact that shes a woman. Nobody has made that point here, so don't misconstrue what I'm saying because it's convenient for you to form a strawman argument.

Also season 4 was terrible the whole design for the "Grim reaper" is a complete joke the voice doesn’t fit him and Trevor become a Gary sue so much for the show being superb.

That's a good perspective on her character

@@KaizokuSleven Lisa tried to tame a lonely dracula and failed. Sypha tried to tame a lonely Trevor and succeed.

@@Aceofwolves Actually, she did tame Dracula only difference is we don't what Trevor would've done if he lost Sypha.

Yea for sure, I mainly was stating to never see her use wind in an altercation.

​​@@KaizokuSlevenshe does use wind in her fight against dracula.

Yes, stay tuned.

Agreed, this was an opportune chance for him to show his range in writing and storytelling. The same way he did with Issac, Sypha and Saint Germain.

Ya could've changed grant into a bandit of sorts, a man who survived the initial attack from Dracula. Maybe he couldn't save his family and had to go on alone. He could've met the gang by at first trying to rob them, only to realize their strength and then joins them to either get revenge or die trying.

IDK guess it was just his choice in the moment, plus his Morning Star was the only weapon that can damage Death. Otherwise IDK gotta ask Warren Ellis why he wrote the series like that lol

@KaizokuSleven fair enough. You've done more research than me, and it shows in this very intelligent content, so I wondered if you or anyone else might know. Thanks for taking the time to answer me.

I think she’s more of a Strawberry blonde unlike Alucard’s silverfish blonde hair

To be fair, Trevor & Alucard seemed unstoppable as well. All 3 of them rarely showed vulnerability in battle until they meet high ranking vampires like Dracula, Dragan & Rahko

That could be? I also think they tweaked her to not be a typical damsel character like Sakura from Naruto.

@@KaizokuSleven That makes quite abundantly a lot of sense too, lol.

she has flaws wym

😂

The thing is she didn't level it. Sorta. As far as she knew the castle was in the middle nowhere.then all of the sudden it was mid siege. She figured out the spell but wasn't exactly an expert in how it moves. How would she know the driver could fight back.

@@samreddig8819 i mean, she did some substantial damage. multiple neighborhoods obliterated. and yes, it wasn't premeditated or intended, but she saw it was in a large city through the mirror. it's not about "you should have known better" or "it's all your fault", more like manslaughter and a "regardless of your intentions your actions caused this" kinda thing. the only reason i really cared is because she bragged about it afterward and about being the best multiple times, and never got the reality check she needed for her character arc.

Lol it happens
