Ships that arenĀ“t the OT3: My mind did spit up Dracula/Isaac. Much kink potential, certainly potential for them to be extremely bad for each other.
so is this the part where I ollie in to inform any innocent souls of the thotty majesty of game!Isaac's design or
Probably-unnecessary background: the Devil Forgemasters are from Curse of Darkness, which is a 3D action-adventure rather than the series' wheelhouse of side-scrolling 2D action platformers. Hector is the MC, who betrays Dracula, and Isaac is his rival who doesn't. Their powers are a bit different from the anime, too- in the game, it's less "necromancy" and more "summon Pokemon devils." Hector's anime design is generally in the ballpark of his game design, but they pretty much threw Isaac's out entirely for the anime. anyway this is official art Spoiler: dubiously SFW
That Sure Is A Look but i appreciate that Castelvania has equal opportunity fan service. Give me those mostly naked men in ridiculous poses.
I swear like 50% of official art of male Castlevania characters has them in thigh-high high-heeled boots and poses best described as "I stick my legy out really far."
*cracks knuckles* Leon, the founder of the Belmont line, setting the standard for his descendants: Spoiler Trevor, undisputed king of LEG: Spoiler Juste Belmont and his boots that I hate looking at: Spoiler Hector, buddy, are your feet okay? Spoiler The Castlevania Bloodlines dudes, the latter of whom got censored in the US for being too pretty: Spoiler I was mostly just clicking through the playable characters on the wiki, but bonus vampires: The guy Drac stole his powers from: Spoiler A secondary villain, but look at him: Spoiler And last but not least, Dracula high school AU Soma, less because legy and more because he needs to be shamed for those pants: Spoiler Look at them. They're an abomination. (Shockingly, Alucard was managing to keep his legs under control in all the pictures in his Gallery page on the wiki.)
Im not surprised they changed things for the anime tho. I imagine anyone suggesting someone animate those for less than a fortune would be strangled and mounted in the lobby as a warning to others. So much fiddly detail!
