The fourth season of Castlevania marked the end of the story of Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades. However, Netflix’s original animated series continues with a spin-off. Future protagonists will be Richter Belmont and Maria Renard. Let’s analyze these two new characters.
During Netflix Geeked Week, the streaming giant announced that Castlevania Season 4 won’t be the end of the job. Although Trevor’s adventure is over, one is produced Spin-off set in 1792, at the height of the French Revolution. This new series will follow the story of Richter and Maria, two faces that fans of the Konami video game saga will already know.
Just like Trevor and Sypha, also the fate of Richter and Maria is shaped by the hunt for Dracula, who rose from the dead in dark Europe in the 18th century. This duo will debut in the Netflix anime series but has already made their debut in two episodes of the video game series.
Both were introduced in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, a title released in 1993. Two years later, this chapter was revised for Super Nintendo and was given the name Castlevania: Dracula X. In 1972, Dracula rises from his grave and attacks a nearby village. Among the abducted women is Maria, a distant relative of Richter, a nineteen-year-old vampire hunter who is tasked with eliminating Dracula.
Direct sequel to Rondo of Blood is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. It was released in 1997 and takes place four years after the first chapter was published. This time, Alucard is the protagonist, who joins Maria in search of the judge who has suddenly disappeared.
At the moment it is not known whether the anime will die Events of one of the two titlesi, and if Alucard also makes his appearance in the scene. Here’s the community’s reaction to the Castlevania spin-off announcement.
