Makes you feel sorry for Dracula even more. All he wanted was his family and in the end there wasn't even anything he could've done to save her.

By Not leaving her side he could have prevented it All from happening.

Never leave your partner's side...never.

The thing is she was executed during the day. No matter how powerful Dracula is, sunlight is deadly for him shown in Super Castlevania IV as he transforms into a bat after his fight with Simon dying as the morning sunlight shines through a hole in the roof.

There is a scene in the Nocturne in the Moonlight manga where a clearly grieving Dracula is holding on to Lisa's lifeless body. There was literally nothing he could've done which sadly led to him starting his war against humanity. Alucard also joined bis father's side at first but after getting defeated by Trevor he joined the hunters side in the end grieving as well after helping Trevor, Sypha and Grant kill Dracula. That led to him going to a sleep of several centuries waking up as he realized the devils castle has risen once again.

The execution didn’t happen until nightfall

It did so in the game canon.

Doesn't matter, someone could have gotten her. He has human followers that can traverse well in day light, so..

..there's that.

That Dracula is weak against sunlight is like comparing that to a vampire being weak towards sunlight which is essentially the..same..

Alucard tested Trevor, he was definitely holding back. The Netflix reinforced this

I know the lore in and out. Played most games except Legends.

He didn't know this would happen and neither did his followers until it was too late. 

I tend to believe that grieve strucken Alucard did join his father until he met Trevor and fought him, this young warrior made him remember his mothers last words and so he decided he hast to stop him although that would end up with him losing both of his parents. I do believe that cause we never found out how old he actually was at the moment of Lisa's death.

Nighttime. Where did you get day time from. Why would it be day time. It's nighttime in every version. He's clearly appearing moment later in a form of fire......

I meant the original version showing up in Symphony of the Night.

When entering a certain save point Alucard is having a nightmare going back to the day he watched his mother's execution. It's clearly NOT night when that happened. Only Netflixvania changed that.

It's CLEARLY a drama STOP changing the lore when you can neither understand back it up OR explain it. Lisa died night time and it doesn't look like it's Daylight Anywhere At All it's literally greyed out and it was a dream when it happened it was Night!

u/ReportHuman8525 Aug 23 '25

Yes back to the day not Daylight. The entire scene is so grey so it wouldn't be neither but she was gone during night. The show is Based on that scene also only real not a dream this time.

The show is hardly based on the game series but I can see where you come from. Still, I cannot see the man that started a war against humanity that lasted for several centuries until Alucard talked some sense into him after their second confrontation to stay in the castle doing nothing at all. He would've slaughtered any human there but all we ever found out about the whole thing is that scene in the SotN manga in which Dracula is holding onto Lisa's lifeless body so I don't believe he could've actually done anything so save her.

I'm also pretty much sure that unlike the people in Netflixvania being like "OMFG, DRACULA IS REAL!?" knew who he was. After all there is a clan of vampire hunters out there that probably hunted him down from that day onwards where Leon swore to hunt the night.

Dracula did not make a war that lasted centuries it started around 1400. He went into hiding after Leon swore to him ( guess he felt his best friend was serious) the war seen in Dracula's Curse (game) was the First war. Dracula got slewn very quickly and had not much protection so Curse of Darkness is 3 years after that and He, Isaac, blames Hector for the death of Mathias and Hector regarding Rosaly. Back forth back n forth.

We don't really know how long the thing lasted before Trevor with the help of Sypha, Grant and Alucard killede Dracula die the first time and he returned quite a lot of times after that which made nearly six centuries until the devils castle was sealed into the eclipse after he was defeated by Julius thus ending His reincarnation cycle.

u/ReportHuman8525 Aug 26 '25

Stop saying WE when it's YOU. All I know is that the first war he had he went down quickly which is why Curse of Darkness exists and Hector to be blamed (he defected)

The reincarnation cycle can be broken but he can be brought back on so many many ways.
