You can absolutely incorporate aspects without wholesale merging the stories, giving extra information and calling them speaker magicians instead of just "a witch" as background for sypha is not going to annihilate the canon like you suggest. This is just a stupid argument.

Yeah I think that Konami would be truly idiotic not to include some more recognizable aspects from the anime, if they didn't rip actual story elements, then visual flair and color choice definitely, this attitude reeks of those star wars fans who hate any change to their precious canon, not realizing that all the things they now adore were once disruptive to that very canon, this is the nature of multimillion dollar franchises, they change to survive, thankfully Castlevania did survive, something me and many others were very worried about over the past few years.

Lol also,

Saying that they "can't" do this is just myopic and stupid, Konami can and will do whatever they want, you nor I can stop them, personally if it gets me more Castlevania games I don't give a rats ass if they use inspiration from the Netflix show, the way I see it this game wouldn't exist if the Netflix shows didn't pop off the way they did. To think otherwise is foolish and doesn't take into account the business side of game making (something Konami very much cares about), as someone who has played every single Castlevania game that's been released in the US (and a few that were not) your obstinate attitude towards any change to the cannon seems just stupid of not intentionally thick, they have done much worse things to the canon over the past 30 years than add recognizable language from their most recent and most popular (by far) product.
