Topic: The relationship between Dracula's Castle and the 1999 eclipse

There's gonna be a partial solar eclipse in northen europe for 2037.

Edit: Yeah, this is the solar eclipse mentioned in the novel. The first page clearly said on a certain day in January 2037.

A great opportunity to un-seal Castlevania

Which was exactly what happened in the novel, though since the eclipse was partial, the castle is not complete.

Nice comic! I also like they way Julius was done. Definitely worthy of the name Belmont.

Am curious.. how would the "100 year rule" work had Soma succumbed to the dark side? Would he only resurrect everytime there was an eclipse? Any theories?

[Shiroi Koumori]

In my opinion, perhaps he would only be resurrected when a total solar eclipse happens since drac's resurrection is tied up with the resurrection of the castle. And we all know that the castle was sealed inside a total solar eclipse.

 The 100 year rule only applies to old drac.

Had Soma become Dracula once more I don't believe the solar eclipse could hold him back anymore. Both He and Castlevania itself would no-doubt return to their homeland of Romania and the cycle of Belmont's Vs Dracula would pick up where it left off. The eclipse acts as a prison for Castlevania so long as Dracula was gone. But once Dracula returns then the eclipse can no-longer contain it. Dracula would simply use his powers and return to earth with his castle in tow. This was never done in AoS so I don't know for sure.

I think more or less like that, Dracula could destroy this seal in my opinion. I think that he even could make a total eclipse happen if he wanted to.
