#anyway the chauve-souris is more than worth the trouble lol

[beevean]

Why didn't Isaac use the Chauve-souris as his main weapon in Netflix Castlevania? I know why he didn't use his laser sword (Because the show makers were cowards), but why swap out his spear for a knife?

Too detailed for the standards of the show LMAOOOOOO GOTTEMMMMMMM

Look at it <3 the bat wings <3 iconic <3

In all seriousness, you could also ask "why does Hector use a war hammer instead of a sword?". Weapons for N!Hector and N!Isaac are not for combat, but for forging, and I imagine a knife would be much easier to use. Plus, I think it's supposed to represent their personalities? N!Hector uses a big, clumsy, but strong weapon, because he's stupid but talented (nvm that the show does nothing with this, it's obvious that the initial concept was that he was supposed to be the prodigy of the two), while N!Isaac uses something smaller and quicker to match his sharp wit.

Isaac's Chauve-Souris is supposed to represent how wild and dangerous he is. It's long and bloody and messy and would clearly do some serious damage to human beings. PtR shows that it was not Isaac's initial weapon, that at first he preferred normal swords just as much as Hector, and he forged it after he went insane. I prefer to think that he has always had a fascination for spears (it explains why he has Abel :>), but the symbolism intended by Kojima is obvious.

Basically, nothing of this fits N!Isaac, because he's all serious and competent and not at all insane in a fun violent way. Joke's on him, he can't do this:

that's how they got dem biceps
