#and so isaac finds himself reborn in the 1730s and boy has a lot to catch on 😂

What do you think, if Isaac were reborn but retained the memory of the past, how would he perceive Dracula? After all, his “powerful” Lord loses to the Belmonts (and other hunters) from century to century. Will Isaac return to Dracula's service, or will he be disappointed in him?

Talking about a hypothetical post-CoD Isaac is a struggle because there is just. so much he would react to. Dracula died a second time, and all of his efforts were in vain: a second massive failure in three years. Hector is happy again - with his sister, who accepted to see him die. Death used him to resurrect Dracula, but as a backup plan, once again confirming that he will always be second best. Now he has to live once again, in a world that doesn't welcome him and he doesn't want in the first place. To be blunt, I think he would be on suicide watch for a while, before he decides how he wants to spend the rest of his pathetic cursed life :\ he'd probably throw himself into danger and fight and kill as much as he wants until someone finally, finally strikes him down for good.

And if he was reborn in the future, then he'd also have to deal with the fact that Hector and Julia are long dead. That is bound to cause him complicated feelings to say the least.

Regarding Dracula, I don't think anything would make him look any less worthy of worship in Isaac's eyes. So maybe the Belmonts have God on their side and that is enough to strike him down once a century. And yet. And yet He always comes back, while they eventually end up rotting :) He may lose the fights, but He lasts eternal, always brought back by the darkness lurking in men's heart. So He's the one prevailing, in the end :) and it doesn't erase the fact that Dracula is the only one who has accepted Isaac in the first place :) so no, Isaac won't change his mind about his Lord. He's stubborn like that :P

(... now I have the mental image of him being particularly pissed at Shanoa lmao. The Belmonts? Alright you're God's specialest little guys, that's fair. Alucard? Well you're the Prince, of course you'd be strong enough to face the Lord. But this random chick bursting through the door and calling herself the sun to vanquish the night? whomst the fuck are you???)
