Nocturne S2 (and beyond?) predictions

(I started writing this before they dropped the S2 trailer, so… yeah. Good timing? I guess I'll address that at the very end of the post.)

Some of these I think have a good shot at happening, some are just very random, and some are me just messing around otherwise (though the last one would be amazeballs). This would make for a fun bingo board tho.

**SPOILERS** ahoy for Castlevania: Nocturne, S1.

Immediate start to S2 will be Richter & co. all showing up at Juste's to regroup, for lack of anywhere better to go.

Juste will tragically die, probably protecting Richter, because two Belmonts is one too many. This of course just makes Richter sad.

Maria gains a Seiryuu summon in a predictable "oh shit, we suddenly have need for a dragon spewing ice" sort of moment.

Richter finds a stopwatch. *cue Za Warudo sound effect*

Edouard becomes the founder of a night creature village somewhere. A very operatic village. Think musical episodes of "Xena: Warrior Princess."

The abbot meets his predictably banal end, probably crushed in the burning rubble of his church or something.

Tera begs to be staked, probably by Richter since that'll just make him sad again, because she doesn't want to exist as a vampire.

In that same vein, the aimless crying count will continue with like 1-2 scenes per episode. This has the side effect of making Alucard seem downright NOT depressing in comparison, because he did all his crying 300 years ago. Until he suddenly has a flashback of his days with Trevor and Sypha, then I guess he can join in on the crying too. At least he cries pretty unlike the majority of this cast.

Annette obviously has to get knocked up because apparently Belmonts are constantly on the verge of going extinct (you'd think they'd prioritize producing more than 1 kid a generation). If she starts cursing and screaming, "You did this to me!", or if Richter suddenly says, "I love you," over the side of a cliff, expect a baby in the next 7-8 months or so. I've heard Trefor is a wonderful name.

I want Olrox & Mizrak to just fuck off the storyline at some point and get a Morana & Striga type ending. But realistically… do gay men ever get a happy ending? No, because only lesbians get to live -_- So one has to die, probably while trying to protect the other : (

Conversely, I want a scenario where Richter and Olrox have to work together to accomplish something, and they only manage to pull it off because Richter's telling himself repeatedly he'll just kill the bastard afterwards. He doesn't, of course, because the shrieking of the fangirls would be deafening.

And what I think would be REALLY fun (since the original animation appears to hold up as canon for Nocturne), what if we get a "Daddy's home" moment and Dracula joins in for whatever passes as the final fight against Carmilla Erzsebet (assuming she's the end boss)? He doesn't necessarily have to fight for the humans, but perhaps he might be a bit miffed that someone (his niece, in game canon, though they appear to be completely unrelated here) has taken his place on the top of the hierarchy. I would love to see what he could do one-on-one, without holding back.

Post Nocturne S2 teaser trailer viewing

Are Speakers delicious or collectible or something?

Are we really leaving Alucard and Maria alone without a chaperone?

Hmm, back to the Belmont Hold manor? I think we've seen this S2 before…

OLROX WHERE ARE YOU we need you don't make Alucard carry the entire damn show on his back it has to hurt by this point *froths*

Castlevania Nocturne's Newest Trailer Brings The Age of Vampires Into The French Revolution #Netflix #anime #Castlevania #CastlevaniaNocturne #Konami #VideoGames

Yesterday, it was announced that the new spin-off series, Castlevania Nocturne would be getting a brand-new teaser trailer. The new trailer was released, showcasing first-hand the Vampiric threat that has been unleashed in France during the French Revolution. It was assumed that after the battle with Carmilla and the Council of Sisters that the Age of Vampires was over. But we soon realize that…

Carmilla Movie Teaser Trailer Theory Updates

Based off the clothes, I’m guessing the Carmilla movie is set in the 1870s, putting it at the same time the original novel was written. But it would also be at least 15 years after the Bronte sisters died. (Maybe affirming other’s theories that they could be vampires??) That would however mean we are in perfect time to meet L! The only thing which makes me question this is that the background characters at the masquerade ball appear to be wearing clothes that vary from the 1860s into the 1880s. The mansion itself was built in 188(2-3) according to the historian in the behind the scenes video). So I dunno. Somewhere near there. 

Although, of course, part of the movie is set in our time period... Which everyone’s been freaking out about for quite a while now. And yes, I am also freaking out. There’s a theory a little later (kinda) on how that happens.

(Note: I’m probably gonna call Natasha/Carmilla and Elise/Laura interchangeably... I have a bad habit of doing that. I do know they aren’t the same person.)

Domestic Hollstein

First shot we get is a very odd angle, leading me to believe it’s meant to be disorienting. Maybe it’s after a dream sequence? Carm is still laying down after Laura sits up. It appears to be a normal human morning. Also, that headboard is BEAUTIFUL.

The next shot in their home is on their couch with the reddish pillow. Laura wakes up on Carm’s lap wearing the same royal green tank top as the first scene (and same color as the headboard. God that thing is pretty.) It appears she’s waking up from a dream again... So I wonder if that’s part of what leads them to the house? She also doesn’t seem concerned though, leaning happily back into Carmilla as Natasha plays with her fingers, looking like she may also be ready to doze off. So part of me wonders if this is the first shot of the movie. Maybe there are some short opening credits of places to come but not in too scary of a manner, and this is the first scene we really get to see? That would be cool. And make us all cry and squeal :) 

The Living Room Scene

At :25 Natasha is shown with what appears to be medical tape on her face beside her eye and on her neck below her chin, both on her right side. She is sitting fairly relaxed but clearly a bit annoyed. The gingers are grilling her looking interested, and Elise is deep in thought.

Is this when they begin to realize Carmilla is “re-vamping”? Or maybe she was attacked by something which will lead them to the old mansion? The scene does take place at Laura and Carm’s apartment (assumed, because Elise woke up on Carm’s lap on that couch next to that reddish-maroonish cushion). 

WAIT THOSE AREN’T BANDAGES! I think those are electrodes! And Laf is looking at the results live on their tablet. Perry is probably asking survey questions as part of the experiment. It’s probably to discover what is going on which might be causing the revamping!

OR MAYBE Natasha starts having the dreams of L, and Laura’s all like “UH NO THAT’S NOT OKAY” and Carm doesn’t want to get rid of them and that’s why she’s annoyed but they agree to let Laf test them, and then this happens and YES.

Carm appears to answer a question near the end of the shot showing me that it’s not just a b-roll shot to introduce a scene but an actual camera angle. Because of the panning, I wonder if it’s part of a montage of them trying to figure out what’s going on. It could possibly just be one of multiple cameras rolling at once though. 

The Lightning Scenes

When they first get to the house, they are in modern clothes and bring what looks like enough stuff to stay for a few days. The house is quiet and empty. Everything is worn and dimn. They use flashlights. Then there are shots of lightning, mirrored by shots of a similar sort in the past.

The only person not holding a flashlight is Perry who is holding a dark gray-black box which looks like some sort of detector. My first thought was a geiger counter, for measuring radiation, something which Laf would certainly have and Perry would likely prefer over an EMF detector for ghost hunting. Especially since she’s wearing thick gloves which theoretically could make a character feel more safe in a place with radiation (although wouldn’t actually do much good). That said, an emf would make more sense in the setting. 

Note also, the painting and hallway behind Laferry. Painting was seen in behind the scenes photos and apparently has goats. (Relevant info? Or were they just not allowed to take it down...). The hallway is featured later in a scene with with more lightning.

Speaking of, the lightning flashes to transition to Dominique looking in a mirror with her hand up, looking amazed. L amazed to be alive again? L ecstatic to feel beautiful? She also looks scared. Is she scared of going to the ball? Scared to see Carmilla? Scared, because she doesn’t know why she’s alive again?

The next time lightning is shown is right after we see Dominique’s face looking annoyed but confident. She is of course dressed for the 19th century. Our usual cast, however, is dressed for modern day. I wonder if this is how they are brought into the past? The lightning? Carmilla does look really suspicious. Laura looks shocked. Perry looks like she’s about to pass out. Laf looks like they’re about to take some major samples. 

The next lightning occurs with someone running down a hallway. Due to the lighting and my vision, I can’t tell who it is. Can anyone else tell? They look back then speed up to go down the stairs as if they are being chased by a monster. It reminds me of older depictions of Carmilla as such. 

Does the lightning have something to do with Carm’s revamping? And how does it cause them to go back in time?

The Ballroom Scene

So it’s a masquerade ball, but it also appears to be in a small room for such an event. There is maybe 20 people. I wonder if this has to do with budget and space or if it’s significant in the plot? The main characters who wear dresses appear to be dressed for the 1870s. The background characters for the 1860s and 70s, maybe a few for the 80s. I wonder if this is intentional or not? Or maybe my googling just doesn’t give me enough information?

We also see Kirsch dancing with a woman. I can’t actually tell who it is though... I don’t know if it’s due to my vision problems or if it’s supposed to be hard to tell though. From there, we see Dominique with her mask on smirking like she’s about to blow up the place or something. 

Laura Clearly realizes whatever is going on first in the following scene and goes to stop it before Laf and Carm have even caught on, leaving them like wtf laura again?

And then? OOOOHHHHH AND THEN I believe after the drama of the ballroom scene, they retire into their room... Their gowns may be ruined by now, or maybe they just want to get out of all that lace. (I mean, Carm must be ready to shred that thing by now. Seriously.) Except they get distracted... by each other... in corsets... CALL BACK SEASON ONE

VIRGIN SACRIFICE NO EFFING MORE

(Also, I think that earlier shot of Carm running her fingertips gently over Elise’s lips comes from this scene. Natasha is wearing the same ring here, and you can see that Elise is wearing white. 

Other

The second bit we see, the bit which fascinates me to no end, is hollstein, together in the dark in theatrical moonlight. I can’t quite put my finger on what’s going on with Elise... It’s as if the moment we see is a moment of transition. Maybe Laura was fighting back at this figure but stopped when she realized who it was. But, me slightly having a ginormous crush, I was more focused on Natasha... Who, in this scene, appears to be wearing the costume of “the woman in black”. Dominique’s outfit on Carmilla? So is this a disguise for Carmilla? Or is there some sort of magic that makes Dominique appear to look like Natasha? Or is Carmilla the descendent of the woman in black? I thought, for a moment, maybe that Dominque could be playing past Carm as their expressions and movements appear to be quite similar as far as what we’ve seen, but they could have easily (well, not easily) had Natasha play both if that was the case. So i don’t believe that’s it. But something fishy is going on for sure.

(Also, Natasha’s hair in that shot is absolutely breathtaking and I want to touch it??) 

And then there is the dining room scene where everyone appears to be sitting around an extravagant meal. The Bronte sisters are present and appear to be taking a majority of the attention. Whatever they’re talking about worries the rest of the cast. 

Also, they are wearing modern day clothes, and the Bronte sisters don’t seem to care. Did they have something to do with aforementioned lightning?? 

And the last thing I’m going to mention is 1:10 to 1:12 where two characters appear to be facing one another in a very ominous situation, one dressed in Dominique’s signature outfit (although we have seen Natasha wearing it as well as I already talked about.) So is this a reveal? It’s certainly something...

Ah I’m so excited!!! What do you guys think?! Did I miss anything??
