If there's any plothole here at all it's unfortunately the entire plot of the game. I mean, really, how the hell does it make any sense to lift Dracula's Curse by summoning his ghost and immediately destroying it... again.
Perhaps, when you collect the body parts to do a Summon, you're not just doing a regular summon but rather, like Dracula's regular Resurrection methods, you're gathering all of the evil of the surrounding area, harnessing it, and channeling it... INTO the flux capacit-errrr I mean, into the PEDESTAL
Basically I thought Dracula gave him cancer.So thats the cure for cancer, lets kill Dracula lol
Anyhow, I think Brentalfloss can tell us all about it (when is it not a good time to post this?)I have seen that before, I and a friend even subbed that video to our language xD
(in real life exist something similar, if someone by cause of some disease, doesnt produce white blood cells)
Dude, it's called AIDS. Well, not exactly, but similar effect.Thats not quite it that Im saying, that disease that I cant remember the name only doesnt lets your wounds heal easily, they heals pretty slow and you skin are more sensitive too, so if like, you knock your leg in something acidentally, like a chair, it have more chances that it will bleed and make a moderate wound. Sorry for my broken english, but that disease really exists, one of the causes that my grandfather died is because of that, and no, its not AIDS. :-\

Think that's called hemophilia.
If we suppose it's the same curse Dracula gave Quincy Morris in the novel the curse doesn't let the wounds heal, so the probably severe injuries acquired in the first Dracula battle were still intact and slowly killing him.
I would like to see this too. Having a better translation of that story would be a juicy read.
Seven years have passed since the dramatic final scene of "Demon Castle Dracula" (Castlevania).
The stage is once again set in the remote countryside of Transylvania...
The hero Simon Belmont defeated Dracula and set his body to rest for another long 100 years.
However, the battle took a toll on Simon's body.
Simon injured his back during the deadly struggle with Dracula, and he could tell that his body was getting worse as the days went on.
He could feel the time of his death closing in.
One morning, Simon went to the grave on Angel Hill where the members of the Belmont family slumbered.
There, he started to ponder the live he had lived.
Then, Simon felt a chill run down his spine.
When Simon turned around, he noticed a woman standing in the morning mist.
The woman spoke to Simon.
"An evil curse has been placed upon your life. You are in danger.
However, if within your heart lies the courage to put your life on the line and fight evil, God will surely grant you power."
"The power of the evil curse placed upon you grows by the day.
Once the power has reached it's peak, Dracula will rise once again.
There is only one way to destroy his body for all eternity.
Seven years after Dracula's body is destroyed, it begins to resurrect itself.
In other words, the five parts of Draculas body have appeared on land once more.
If you act while the power of the curse is still weak, find the pieces of Dracula's body and burn them
to ashes at his stronghold: Dracula Castle, he will be sealed away for good.
Sealing Dracula away will certainly cause the Legend of Dracula to finally come to an end.
Once the curse is lifted from you, your back injuries will surely heal.
There are no other ways but this to destroy Dracula once and for all."
Once the woman said her final words, she disappeared again into the morning mist.
Because of this, the hero Simon Belmont had gained a newfound determination. There's no turning back for him now!
Fight on, Simon! Please. Remember bitter memories in TRANSYLVANIA!
A woman spirit appears, at the Belmont family graveyard...That's certainly an idea...
The origins of Sara Trantoul revealed? Perhaps this was the spark that drove Iga to write about the spirit in the whip.

Wow. Now the CV2 story is really cleared up. But I am curious as to why the best ending in the game has Drac's hand come out of his grave? Didn't the backstory claim that Dracula would be permanently killed by burning his remains to ash?
"15th century Europe. During the Dark Ages, there was a man who was feared by all. A man who has stopped being human. His name was
Count Vlad Tepes, otherwise known as Dracula. His territory was located at the outskirts of Transylvania, at the Wallachia territory, where he
used a taboo art to ressurect an evil deity. The deity granted him power and in exchange, he summoned several apparitions from the spirit
world in order to scorch and massacre the entire nation of Wallachia with darkness.
He felt he could extend his presence even further and now he's plotting to take all over Europe. The East Orthodox Church were desperate to
solve this situation, that they immediately dispatched a powerful army to Wallachia, but they never came back.
As a last resort, the Pope made a request to a man from the underworld, a man who uses a forbidden art and a pair of Vampire Hunters to end
Wallachia's oppresion.
The first one that was entrusted by the Pope was Sypha Belnandez at the East Orthodox Church, an apprentice monk in pursuit of becoming
a priest. Sypha's ability is a powerful type of magic that harness it's power from the atmosphere and can manipulate fire, ice and lightning bolts.
Sypha's attacking strenght is great, but he doesn't use weapon and is most vulnerable to any damage received from an enemy's attack. Sypha
lost his parents when he was young and was found wandering near the monastery, where he remained at the once-beautiful Wallachia. Sypha
knew that the place in his memories was now tainted and he accepted the pope's request to liberate Wallachia.
Around the same time, within Wallachia, a group of rebels were corvertly plotting to overthrow Count Dracula. However their human strenght
was no help and they were no match for Dracula's dark powers. Some of men were teared to pieces, others were senteced to be skewered and
some were transformed into hideous monsters. Grant Dinesti, carefree man from Wallachia was among them.
Those who tainted their hand once don't know when to stop. Count Dracula was not sastified with the power he already had after selling his
soul and body to the devil and he wanted to have more. The contract he made with the devil was also applied to his own son.
The son opposed his father, who still had a human heart even after getting rid of soul, as his own body was no longer human as well and it
finally went to the point that he slesyd reminding himself of his hate for his father. However, he cannot challenge his own father, who is an evil
spirit himself, all alone as the odds are agaisnt him. Although his relationship to Dracula is a burden for the Cross, nonetheless, Adrian
Fahrenheit Tepes opted to fight anyway. He changed his name to Alucard and infiltrate Wallachia underground with the purpose of destroying
his father and restoring the beauty of Wallachia, he began searching for a comrade that shared the same ideal.
The Pope was in predicament once again. Sypha, the vampire hunter who was sent out to Wallachia did not returned after the promised period.
The Pope assumed that since Sypha didn't return, his mission was already a failure and he was more likely dead by now.
This is when a genuine Vampire Hunter from the Belmont family appears to fullfil the Pope's request. The Belmont family, with their tenacious
willpower and seemingly bottomless strenght were treated no differently from the actual vampires and were just as feared. Because of this, the
Belmont family lived far away from common people, becoming almost folkloric. The Pope searched in all directions until he met a man with
Belmont bloodline. A longhair young man who was Ralph C. Belmont.
Go back in time more than a hundred years before Simon Belmont's time, when the the battle between Dracula and mankind began."
"Transylvania, a small country in Europe, is associated even today with a demon's legend. With his powerful evil power, the legacy of
Count Dracula has been dreaded by the people. However, no matter how many times Dracula comes back, he never manages to fully
change the world into darkness as he is always put away by Simon, a descendant of the Belmont clan. However, the devil Dracula has
existed long before his first confrontation. Not as the devil Dracula, but as an evil sorcerer. Count Dracula was a fanatical demon worshipper,
who built a dark castle at the outskirts of Transylvania and conducted evil rituals every night. He has summoned several demons from the
other world to serve him and he himself has been trying to get eternal life by becoming a demon king possesing evil powers. With each
day, Count Dracula's evil powers became more frigtening, as he spread fear and terror to the people of the village. Until one day, a man
stood up. It was Christopher, an ancestor of the Belmont family. Christopher rushed to the dark castle. Many demons and traps layed out
are waiting for him at the castle. Will he be able to defeat the transformed devil, Count Dracula, as expected?"
The origins of Sara Trantoul revealed?
I really like this theory but the PoR timeline says she was a gypsy woman. It contains a lot of information from Japanese sources, so I consider that timeline to be a reliable source.
You guys know that Mr P's site has translations for the Japanese manuals of all the games, right? I've been using them as a source of information for years.

This is from official supplementary sources related to PoR? Got any links? I'd like to see.
Wow... that's fucking stupid. They just made up a 6th body part. Way pull shit outta their asses after the fact. You'd think they could have come up with something better.
This is that same document that claims Grant is a pirate.
Being able to climb rigging doesn't make you a good acrobat. Plus 13th century ships didn't have tons of rigging like later vessels associated with piracy. But I suppose it's at least plausible he could have been a pirate. Although, I doubt he would even remotely resemble a golden age pirate of any sort.So "thats" why Konami dislikes Grant, they hate piracy.
I could practically hear the opening movie music.(click to show/hide)
Why the hell would a pirate try to overthrow Dracula, in a clock tower no less?

What about CV3's Haunted ship of fools? That's a BIG ship! And I do believe that CV3 took place in the 15th century not the 13th ;) Besides pirates are thieves. They will work up any and all skills in order to help them acquire their riches. And that includes acrobat skills. Acrobatic skill doesn't just mean that you are mid-air somersaulting all over the place. It means that you are athletically fit. You can run for prolonged periods of time without getting tired, fighting in the thick of combat without needing to get in your second wind and being able to do all sorts of other feats that any normal person would gawk at.
Lol at bad spellings. It's 'Dinesti'.
feel free to delete the otter one.
But getting back to Dracula cursing Simon. I think it would have been more successful if Dracula cursed Simon with ED to prevent further propagation of the clan.What is "ED"?
