Man, it's been awhile!

Anyway, I'd have to agree with the general sentiment here with that there are no hated Belmonts (canon or otherwise!).

Going with least favorite...probably Soleiyu. Attacking your own father like that? For shame!

Isn't that non-canon?  We might as well count Trevor Mode in Curse of Darkness, then.

AoS Julius mode is not canon. But he still went through the Castle by himself in Soma story

I'm not a Richter fan, but he's pretty awesome compared to Juste. Juste was not only the zenith of how far you could take the bishonen element (Juste is prettier than most females in the series), but I hate so much about him. In particular, I hate his running animation, I hate his Mickey Mouse gloves, and I hate his clown shoes.

Of course, none of this is helped by the fact that Harmony of Dissonance is probably my least favorite game in the main series.
He's back! The man behind the mask!

If Gabriel counts then he's by and large my least favorite, because I don't care for him as a character, a visual design, and I can't personally respect what he and his game represent.

Aside from him? Hmm. That's really tough to say. Interestingly, I never got too into Leon Belmont. I think every other character in Lament of Innocence, save for Sara, is a more interesting character, even Medusa and the Succubus. And I'm not all that into his design or voice acting, either. I don't dislike Leon, per se, but if I had to choose, then he probably does the least for me. Soleiyu even captivates me more than Leon, interestingly.

Jeje, good point :). I think I will pick Soleiyu, for the unique reason is the only one (I think) that don´t have his own game.

I always thought Julius was pretty overrated. I mean, it'd be impressive if he beat Dracula forever and made it so that he was never able to come back, but he didn't, because Soma. And it's also lame how he can be slidekicked into submission, and how he screams like a little girl when inside a painting in Harmony of Despair.
Pfft. Like anything's ever going here

I'd say Christopher. Because nobody really cares about him and MoF did a good job closing the relationship as Trevor being Simon's father because if they brought in christopher, everyone would be like, "meh". Non-Canon wise...

This... What the hell IGA. Don't disrespect Castlevania like that!

Considering the game that she is from you really should cut IGA some slack with this one. Jeesh!

If I had to choose one, I'd say Gabriel Belmont, but since I believe he is not canon, that wouldn't count.
But esentially I like all Belmonts, canon and non-canon.
Now I'm tired, eternally walking... forever dying, and never stopping. I feel in sorrow, all I see is white. I’m following a blind way beneath a sad sky.

Juste Belmont, for reasons some mentioned. His look mimicked Alucard's from Symphony and took the white-haired white-skinned bishonen thing to the next level. Thought this was fine for Alucard in Symphony because he's not human, but on a Belmont it just felt out of place to me. Also not sure why Juste feels the need to dress up in his Sunday best to hunt vampires.  To me the perfect look for a Belmont will always be the guy on the original Castlevania box art, and Juste was about as far from that as you could get.

I think Konami forced him to do it.  ;D

Hmmm.... For the IGA timeline, I don't think I have a Belmont that is my least favorite.
For the LOS timeline, maybe Gabe. But I don't hate him.
I just always see OUAT's Rumplestilskin in him... Oh Robert Carlyle, what have you done? Everything's Rumples....

Aw, poor Juste.  Everybody dissing him just because of his design. You know, Simon Belmont has had some truly... questionable designs, and he has even less personality to judge him by. Having just recently played through Dissonance again, I found Juste to be a rather likeable fellow.  I think part of the reason I like him is because of the furniture collecting.  It's hilarious that he seems to almost absentmindedly collect and set up all this furniture while is two best friends are in imminent peril.  Dude's probably got a few screws loose up there.  I'll agree that his sprite is... not great. XD
