Castlevania is back.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary The release of Netflix's new animated series creates a question about the connection between Castlevania: Nocturne and the previous show, Castlevania. Netflix's new animated fantasy follows Richter Belmont, a vampire hunter, who teams up with his adopted sister and a group of misfit magic users to take down the faction of vampires secretly infiltrating and controlling society during the French Revolution.
Castlevania: Nocturne has come out of the gates strong, amassing many positive reviews within the first two days of streaming. Critics say that the new Netflix show sets the bar high for future video game adaptations. The reviews also frequently mention the fact that Castlevania: Nocturne rises to the standards set by its sister show Castlevania. Anyone new to the franchise may see this and get confused about how the shows are related to each other.
Castlevania: Nocturne Is A Sequel To Castlevania Though Castlevania: Nocturne takes place approximately 300 years after the events of Castlevania, it functions as a sequel to the previous Netflix animated series. The newer show fills in events between the two time periods, allowing that to inform the new characters. The lore and mythology remain the same across the two series with supernaturals, magic, and vampire hunting working in the same way.
Castlevania: Nocturne Follows Trevor Belmont’s Descendent Castlevania: Nocturne centers on a brooding and traumatized vampire hunter named Richter Belmont who's the last living descendant of the famous Belmont clan. Due to the large time jump between the original series and its sequel, many viewers wondered what the connection is between him and the former characters.
Though Trevor and Sypha do not appear in season 1 of Castlevania: Nocturne, their presence still has an impact on Richter. Most notably, he wields the same Vampire Killer whip as Trevor Belmont – a relic passed down the Belmont clan from one vampire hunter to the next. Additionally, Richter draws his magic abilities from his other ancestor, Sypha. These aspects of Richter create clear connections between the animated series Castlevania and Castlevania: Nocturne.
