1 Clue in Castlevania That Hints the Reincarnation of Dracula

Which universe better represents the battle between good and evil than Castlevania? The eternal struggle between the vampire-hunting Belmont Clan and Count Dracula, the Dark Lord, is full of action, adventure, and mystery. However, Julius Belmont brought this struggle to an end in 1999 during the events of Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow.

By severing Dracula’s tie to the power of Chaos, Belmont ended his dark reign. However, a subtle hint in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow suggests that the evil is far from gone. This hint tells us about a potential reincarnation of the Dark Lord who will ensure that Dracula’s dark reign continues.

Dracula’s death was a pivotal moment for the Castlevania franchise. The dude had been alive for several centuries, and it took a whole lineage of Belmonts to kill him for good. Julius Belmont (the most badass Belmont in our opinion) separated him from the power of chaos, depriving him of his immortality. This also ended the cycle of resurrection that saw Dracula being reborn every century.

This, however, wouldn’t end the terror. The power of chaos in itself is an entity that cannot be eradicated. It is a perpetual force that serves as a catalyst for evil and corrupts those around it. It is unbound by Dracula, and as seen in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, the power can anoint a new Dark Lord if certain conditions are met.

In Dawn of Sorrow, we see Dmitri Blinov and Dario Bossi, who are supposed to inherit the power of Chaos after Dracula. They are drawn to the power and have qualities that mirror Dracula. This suggests that anyone can become the Dark Lord if they can access the power of chaos. This underscores why Dracula’s death doesn’t signify the end of evil.

This falls in line with Arikado’s (Alucard) warning during Dawn of Sorrow, which tells us that as long as Chaos exists, someone will inevitably try to channel its power. This means that no matter how many Draculas or Dark Lords the Belmonts can kill, they will never truly be able to eliminate the essence of evil.

The Castlevania series has long established that Dracula’s resurrection is cyclic in nature. Every hundred years or so, a new Dracula is born, who holds the same amount of power and malic as the one before him. If this pattern holds, then a new Dracula should have been born to succeed the Dracula who died in 1999.

The story has made it clear that Dracula’s essence, along with the power of Chaos, is something that can’t be completely destroyed. Alucard’s statement in Dawn of Sorrow foreshadows the inevitable. The cult’s efforts to foster a new Dark Lord show us that true evil will always find a way to seep its claws and fangs into the world.

While Dracula can’t be revived or resurrected in flesh, his essence continues to live on and corrupt. The presence of Dmitri and Dario reinforces this idea. Both were born just after Dracula had been killed by Julius, and possess certain evil qualities we last saw in Dracula.

Dracula’s permanent death is a fleeting triumph in Castlevania. The cult and Alucard’s statement in Dawn of Sorrow about evil never truly ending, reveal the inevitable: though he can’t be revived in flesh, Dracula’s essence and malice endure through the power of Chaos, and as long as this power persists, the Belmonts continue to face the undying shadow of Dracula’s evil.
