Is maria defeating dracula canon? I thought Richter beating him was canon.
well, judgement said that they did it together so..idk.
Think of it in the terms of
SotN.
Richter was fighting
Dracula and was on the losing side.
Maria, who's strength is equal to
Richter's, gives her power to him and he uses that strength to defeat
Drac. So yeah, they technically did it together.
