General Castlevania Discussion / Re: Leon killing Sara

A vampire being 100% evil is a very common trope. And pretty sure castlevania follows it and has always. With Alucard always being the exception.

At the very least, she would become enthralled to Walter.

As for *liking* it, that's a different story. It's no better or sillier proposition than the castlevania 3 origin for the whip

But at the end of the day Castlevania is a bread and butter Good Always Wins story.
Grant and Alucard were turned into evil abominations, but they found salvation anyway.
Sara dying of course is a plot device and necessary, but still feels off due to the awful execution. The way it was done it's an assisted suicide done for science and for "the greater good". Such a relativist take doesn't fit with Castlevania at all.

For the Vampire Killer to be made, a WILLING vampire soul with a connection strong enough to enter a blood pact with the other party is required "You need a tainted soul, one that trusts you and one that you can trust". That's what makes the chances of creating the Vampire Killer at that precise moment so extremely unique. Sara is already tainted, and she's willing to give up her own tainted life to save others. The old Christian tale of the innocent soul sacrificing willingly to save humanity, kinda. Had Leon waited for the vampirism to take over, the blood covenant couldn't be made anymore. Afterall, even tho Rinaldo slain his own daughter turned vampire, that didn't make the Vampire Killer. About Sanctuary, it surely isn't a thing by the era Lament of Innocence is set, if we are to take Awakening Under the Moonlight as canon (which I like to do), the medicine won't be made by Lisa until the age she was sentenced to death kicking off the events of Dracula's Curse. If we don't want to consider this bit of lore from the Takarazuka Act, we can't really tell who and when made Sanctuary.

The 64 games on the other hand are their own thing, so idk. The whip isn't even the same one, probably, nor there's been a Sara or Leon in the first place

My suggestion was that Leon could have acted in self-defense with Sara finding clarity just before her death, which would make the blood pact still possible.

At this video on Youtube, you can see the the producer of Castlevania saying that this is the 'first' title celebrating the 40th anniversary.

So are there more games in development?
I was dismissing this at first, then I realized the 40th Anniversary Overture video also kinda feels like a teaser (for another game).
If that's the case then Belmont's Curse would be the «Mirror of Fate» of a new generation of games.
The AAA game rumors at this point could be real but honestly, I can't see myself liking it. It would be either a soulslike (fucking Silent Hill...) or another hack and slash. No thanks.

That's awful, awful news. I'm not exaggerating when I say he literally shaped and changed my childhood and my whole life with his games, together with Igarashi. May he rest peacefully, his incredible legacy lives on forever. Thank you so much Ida-san.
