In another thread it was suggested he considers himself akin to the antichrist or the son of Satan, with Satan being the Dragon and him being the Son of the Dragon, but IMO it was just IGA not thinking things through.

Ugh..IGA didn't think of the name Dracula. If you wanna point a finger at someone, try Bram Stoker. I think the only thing IGA has said about the origin of Vania Drac's name is that "he named himself Dracula, which means devil or dragon". Which is true, except that he left out or forgot to mention the "a" at the end means "son of". I haven't heard him make a comment about why Mathias chose that particular name (other than that he was pissed and evil and wanted his new terror name to reflect that). The real world explonation is, of course, that CV Drac was more or less based on Stoker Drac, but the in-universe details remain open to interpretation.

No..wait a minute and scratch off some..if we're gonna get to the very bottom of it, maybe you should point it at the guy who first called Vlad III "Dracula" because his dad was Dracul. Or the one who first spoke such a language that resulted in a word like Dracula to come into existence in the first place.

My point is, that sounds like another silly and unfounded jab at IGA.

Going by what we may know now, I think the Wolf is a teaser for the 3DS game instead of the console sequel.

And hey, Gabricula's son would obviously be "Lucard" 

[Kingshango]

Son of a gun.

EDIT: The leak guy returned, he gave me a little tidbit on the whole poster. Do not click if you don't want to be spoiled.

(click to show/hide)

The Wolf with golden eyes is stalking a pale red eyed Gabriel. The wolf could be Alucard now.

Your right it does look like a wolf more than a werewolf. But my guess still stand, the full pic is Gabriel fully Drac'ed out standing next to a wolf outside his Castle.

Nailed it, somewhat.

Too much semantics involved.. Dracula sounds cooler than Dracul anyway

Dracul sounds more fresh to me though, Dracula is a name well used over the years.

And it would just be a glaring flaw in the character naming, that he calls himself the dragon, but renames himself SON of the Dragon.

That's like calling my dad my son.

It' a flaw that really sticks out to anyone who knows even a little bit about the character and the name's origins. (and you should, considering Dracula is possibly the most iconic movie monster of all time, and the lore behind the character's creation is well known, and even then, Google and Wikipedia are not exactly hard to find if one was ever curious at all.)

maybe mathias was looking through a book (from the future, important detail, guys) and stumbled upon the name dracula and went
"wow what a cool name"

then bram stoker curled in his (future) grave and screamed, "dam u mathias"

But wasn't that flaw made by Cox and his team?

They did call him by "Dracula" in the official ingame concept art.

LOOKS LIKE A WARG TO ME

*high five*

I'm wondering how Gabriel will transform into a jerk, assuming Dracula does the same evil stuff he did in the old timeline.

[Chernabogue]

Coming back a bit on the Dracul/Dracula thing, but I remember Cox saying on Twitter that Gabriel was indeed Dracula (saying that in Resurrection, he's not Dracula yet).

And I think Gabriel says "Dracul" just because it's Romanian language.

But I'm impressed by all the theories you guys are brigining!

The DLC already covered that in a horribly written and produced way.

Because the character he represents in the new timeline, in relation to the franchise, is "Dracula", the series antagonist. But LoS corrects the bit of a plot flaw following Lament of Innocence, in that Mathias names himself Son of the Dragon, as opposed to just Dragon. In another thread it was suggested he considers himself akin to the antichrist or the son of Satan, with Satan being the Dragon and him being the Son of the Dragon, but IMO it was just IGA not thinking things through.

In LoS Gabe claims "I am the Dragon". So the only logical name here is Dracul.

Well, technically, the "son of a dragon" is still a dragon itself. It's like, the son of a ogre is most likely going to be an ogre too. So, him referring to himself as a dragon(Dracul) is still right, even if his name IS Dracula. In the old series, Dracula transformed into a demon form and a dragon form in various games, so he DID transform into a Dracul himself, despite being named Dracula.

What makes you say that?
I think that's pretty much impossible since I remember them saying the 3ds castlevania was scrapped. Maybe they moved it to Vita?
