Well Dracula can turn to a wolf in the novel right? I guess this is just an extension of that.

Hopefully not.

Aria of Sorrow was excellent, but I really don't want to see Soma return.

Grim Reaper: 'Why's his face like that boss?'
Dracula: 'Wouldn't your face be that way if my hand was up your keister that far?'
Grim Reaper: 'Err..... y... yeah boss...' -flies away-
Soma: 'THATS why I'm so uncomfortable!?! Fuuuuu-!'
Dracula: 'Silence. We have a 5 year olds birthday to do.'
Soma: 'Rooooiiiight.... how much am I getting for this gig?'

Is that your art Flame or no? Looks like Oekikai? (spelling?)

Hopefully my bad humor doesn't make my respectotron readout go downward.

They should have just have the bad ending in Dawn be canon. All that had to be done in order to work was:

Dimitri's deus ex machina
Mina's plot device charm
have Mina be killed for real to awaken Dracula's power
Then cut to Julius and co to hunt down the corrupted Soma and kill him till his resurrection in 100 years.

Knowing how IGA thinks, he'd never allow it.

I get how that would make a better story if you wanted to repeat the cycle, but I kind of like how Soma doesn't do that. I like the idea of Dracula finally catching a break for a little while and not being condemned to repeat the same mistake again.

Did he view his choice as a mistake? I would imagine that Dracula would be bitter at humanity up until the battle of '99. Maybe that's how Julius finally ends Dracula, by condemning him to resurrect in somebody else?

Soma is so destined to be the bad guy, it must end with an epic battle against him at his full power.

I'm not really sure why people want the bad ending from DoS to be canon. Then they will repeat the same tired plot over and over again, and the only difference would be that Dracula is now JAPANESE.   



Years of plot development well spend Konami.  >:(

lol.

They want it to be canon because it was the ONLY part of Dawn that was actually good. Dawn's Julius mode makes a far better game than the actual game, sadly. Because the Story for Dawn is absolute crap. Plus for some damn reason, its cool to have Soma fall to the dark side. I mean, his bad ending in Aria was pretty sweet.

Why not have someone else claim the power and have Soma fight the good fight?  For example, someone claims the power, Julius is too old to do anything, and Arikado/Alucard and Yoko can't fight this evil by themselves.  So, Alucard reveals his true form and tells Soma everything.  After which, he helps Soma truly awaken his power and train him so that he no longer has to be in danger to use it and will never loss the abilities he absorbs ever again.  Thus, the team now consists of Yoko, along with Soma and Alucard, who are both at their true full potential.

Im surprised Soma doesnt recognize Arikado as Alucard. He no doubt KNOWS who Alucard is, after he was awakened to the truth in the throne room, And he knows Arikado has supernatural powers himself, but he doesnt know he is Alucard.

Unless he DOESNT really have Dracula's memories... which is possible.
