The purpose of religion is to feel less scared and worried about death and being a good person (depending on what that religion defines as "good")
One of the coolest openings ever.
It's your usual angry teen angst but placed as the story of a videogame, basically he's tipping his fedora.
There are legitimate good reasons to reject the doctrines that men teach you as religions, but those reasons are that these men don't seem to be backed by God.
>Being an atheist
LOL
>>344866921
Belair asserts that Dracula enslaves men's souls by his acts and suggestion that humans should worship him.
Dracula retorts that the hypothetical construct of the soul, and subsequent logical following that it is both eternal and may persist into an afterlife is also the portfolio of all religions.
This is probably correct, can you think of any religion that does not itself attempt to address the afterlife or persistence of the soul?
Dracula is attempting to assert a certain legitimacy to vampirism and his own lordship over mortality by drawling parallels between himself and organised religion, itself a construct that has held sovereignty many times over humanity.
>>344867292
But, anon. Dracula's not an atheist. He believes that a supreme deity exists, but he also hates said deity and believes that said deity is evil (re: blaming God for the death of his first wife while he was busy fighting in the Crusades). That's misotheism, not atheism.

Do you have proof?
>n-no, you must provide proof
Not necessarily, I don't particularly need to provide evidence that there's a bee which is the 3rth thousand hundred bee, or that there's this manga you've never heard about, or that there's this mineral you've never heard about.
It's certainly nobodys fault that you have seen no evidence ,and your lack of evidence won't make things go away, much less living beings for that matter, in fact I do not believe in you as I don't even know who the fuck you are.
And yes, if we focused only on things we had only evidence for, we never would search for a cure for cancer, as there is no evidence of there being one.
>>344867791
Gods are omnipotent, and a bunch of people who claim to represent God should be displaying in any way just this.

How did they get away with being this Islamaphobic?
Wouldn't Dracula's existence be enough proof that the Devil exists, and thus God?

>>344868187
Dracula is the equal and opposite of God according to deep Castlevania lore. The Devil, if he exists in the Castlevania universe, is Dracula's bitch.
>>344867951
>there is no evidence of there being one.
Uh, there are treatments for cancer that work. That's pretty clear evidence of a cure.
>>344868553
>there are treatments for cancer that work
No. surviving poisoning (chemotherapy) doesn't mean that chemotherapy cures cancer, get some facts in there.
>>344868458
If the Devil and Death are Dracula's bitch, why can't he ever beat those damn Belmonts?
>>344868553
I think he meant full proper cure, not just a treatment where you pump yourself full of radiation and make yourself sick enough for the cancerous cells to _maybe_ die.

Didn't Gabriel Belmont AKADraculakill Satan and eventually became the new king of darkness in the Lords of Shadow series or something?Why is Dracula or vampires in general always portrayed as overpowered Gary Stus superior to every other monster in Japan?

And 4chan is worse than the worst branch of aidscancer. If anything, you're proving me right.
>>344867951
Nice false flag bro
I give it 7/10
>>344868776
There's more to cancer treatment than chemo, dude. Even so, chemo proves you can destroy cancer without destroying the host, which proves a cure can exist. Now it's a matter of refinement.
>>344868846
What do you mean by that?
>>344868783
Because, to use a comic book analogy, Dracula is Superman, and the Belmonts use weapons made of Kryptonite.
>>344868846
Lords of Shadow isn't canon to the original series. We're talking about the original series' Dracula, not Gabriel Belmont.Also, good question. I have no idea.
>>344869163
I mean it seems like every other monster is completely overshadowed (like Werewolves, Frankenstein's Monster, Mermen etc.) by vampires and they are just depicted as really fucking powerful and uber charismatic even though in reality they are just glorified zombies. It's not fair.

He killed him twice. After that Gabe just dicks around on earth with the first time terrorizing humans and the second probably just laying around in the dark with his son.
>>344868846
Because vampires were portrayed as the "King of Monsters" in early Hollywood, and the older Castlevania games were based on those old Hollywood monster movies.
I mean seriously, "Alucard"? Invented for the 1943 Son of Dracula.
>>344869472
>King of Monsters
I thought that was Satan. If by "King of Monsters" you mean the most popular, right? Also a dragon could kick a vampire's ass any day.
>>344869340
I know what you mean. They're depicted as being super classy and living the high unlife, but you know they have a blood orgy room somewhere.
It means Dracula was tipping his fedora before teenagers on reddit made it cool.
but enough talk, have at you!
>>344869569
maybe a typical dragon to a typical vampire but Dracula is sometimes depicted as literally satan
Why doesn't God just kick Dracula's ass himself?
So why does SotN end with Dracula basically conceding that he should just pull his head in and stop being such a jagoff, but then he's up to his old tricks five minutes later?
>>344869802
Why get the coffee when you can have your butler serve it to you?
>>344869698
Yeah but aren't Dragons generally stronger than Demons? I'm pretty sure the King of Dragons could easily give the King of Demons a run for his money. Also speaking of which have we actually seen actual dragons in Castlevania that aren't skeletons? I remember Maria having a dragon but that's it.
>>344869802
God works in mysterious ways.
Those ways in this case being the Belmont bloodline, the Vampire Killer and HYDRO STORM.
>>344867576
AAAAAAHHHHHUUUUUGGGGGHHHHRRRRRRRRR.............
>>344869569
Yes, "King of Monsters" as in the most popular. That is a DUUUUH DUUUUH DERP DERP HERP-DURP-DERP question, and you should feel bad for even having to ask it.
>>344867576
Why is that nigga so tall anyways? He's like twice your height.
>>344870074
So you're telling me a fat lazy king can beat his loyal knight in a 1 on 1 fight to the death with morals off because he's the king?

>Yeah but aren't Dragons generally stronger than Demons?
Is there even a metric for that? Is there any real religion or mythology where both are depicted in the classical sense? Since dragons as depicted today are mostly the Celtic/Germanic/Norse variety, and demons as depicted now don't really mesh with those mythologies in the same way.
>>344870075
Dracula in the old movies was depicted as tall & thin. Can't remember how tall he was in the book - been too long since I read it.
>>344869908
You had the Zombie Dragons in CotM and a red dragon in CoD if I'm not mistaken. You got Hydras too if you want to count them.
>>344870353
I'm just going by video games logic here. Dragons and Demons are typically the strongest monsters.
>>344870353
St. George became a saint when he killed a dragon
>>344870368
Pretty sure Dracula wasn't like 10 feet tall.
>>344870534
Well in SMT Lucifer and most of the other major demons are way more powerful than any of the dragons. Dunno what the balance of power is in something like D&D, or anywhere else where they're both depicted in the same setting.
>>344870616
Good point. Not sure what the comparison between that dragon and demons would be though. I think 'dragons' of some kind are mentioned in the Bible? Dunno. It's been a long time since I read it.

That question holds no relevance to the direct reply thread.

Because he was the "King of Monsters" in the movies

You are a retard for having to ask that question
>"So you're telling me a fat lazy king can beat his loyal knight in a 1 on 1 fight to the death with morals off because he's the king?"
Just HOW did you come to that last reply if you aren't being an intentional retard?

But Maria is best girl, any screentime with her is great.
>>344870880
>I'm mad over nothing
-You
>>344870695
Nope. But then factor in the fact that Castlevania began in the 80's, and boss graphics were typically huge for emphasis & detail. Certain things carry over, height being one of them.
>>344871013
Mad? Not even. Legit confused though. People that dumb shouldn't be able to operate a keyboard.
>>344870823
>Dunno what the balance of power is in something like D&D
Core rulebooks among editions are pretty consistent with elder dragons being more powerful than any common demon.
Most unique demon lords (which you could count on your fingers) are about as powerful as oldest dragons, but they are splatbook material and therefore not to be trusted.

Who would want to be a servant under Dracula? There's no benefits whatsoever.
Demons and monsters would have a hayday
what's it like to have sex with maria
>>344871723
The benefits are that the demons and monsters share a common enemy with Dracula, while the other servants are given power by him in exchange for servitude.
>>344871723
Isaac enjoyed it as did Hector until Drac decided to declare war on humanity.
>>344871875
For a human, servitude could mean anything to a vampire, be it working your ass off, research, or simply vampire food.
