Long-time Castlevania fans love the characterization of Juste Belmont, although he is still quite underrated in the Netflix animation. In the video game franchise, he is the protagonist ofCastlevania: Harmony of Dissonanceas his much younger counterpart.
Fans of the original video games hail him as the hottest Belmont and in a strange but unsurprising turn of events, still find him attractive in the Netflix adaptation. The love and attention he’s getting from theCastlevaniafandom, old and new alike, is beginning to reach new heights.
Ever since the spin-off series,Castlevania: Nocturne,and his introduction, fans have been more interested in seeing his youthful appearance in the Powerhouse Animation Studios style. This calls for an adaptation ofCastlevania: Harmony of Dissonance.
Fans haven’t been subtle about wanting more Juste Belmont
While Juste was always an underrated character, his legacy has always been strong. He’s one of the most powerful vampire hunters, even renowned in the Belmont Clan, since he also has magical talent. In the Netflix version, he’s Richter’s estranged grandfather.
The way Sam and Adam Deats handled his character addeda lot more depthto him. He’s much more tragic, having lost his magic after the death of his wife and best friend, and yet he’s still a great mentor to Maria and Richter, the protagonists ofCastlevania: Nocturne.
‘Castlevania’ Went Above and Beyond With the Belmonts’ Design to Include the Best Character of the Original Trio
Fans truly appreciate this side of Juste and wish to see more of him, including his younger version. ACastlevania: Harmony of Dissonancespin-offcould work well for old and new fans. They are all but begging for it on Sam Deats’ X.
i hope we could see a young juste with the HoD design in the style of the series
I thought this was a movie announcement
WE NEED A SEASON OF JUSTE! WE NEED HARMONY OF DISSONANCE SHOWPLEASEEEEEEEEE.
Next spinoff?
While I absolutely want a season 3 and 4 of Castlevania Nocturne. A Juste Belmont prequel whether movie or limited series would be so dope that shows his prowess and him losing his magic, with it tying to what we know of him now in Nocturne.
A series focused on Juste Belmont would explain his emotional turmoil and rewatchingCastlevania: Nocturnewill be even more painful. It would also flesh out his video game counterpart a lot better.
Juste Belmont needs more screen time inCastlevania: Nocturnefirst
As much as fans love the grandfather, it’s also true that he barely has enough screen time inCastlevania: Nocturne.He’s a side character in Season 1 and only becomes more central in Season 2 after regaining his magic.
Despite his increasing importance andfixing their mistakes in Season 1, it’s not nearly enough to satisfy our curiosity about the most powerful and attractive Belmont.
“Sometimes that can be painful”: The Key to Nailing ‘Castlevania: Nocturne’ Season 2 Was to Disregard Most of the Audience’s Opinions
So while a spin-off focusing on Juste’s youth and how he lost his wife and best friend would be amazing,Castlevania: Nocturneneeds more of him on-screen. It might not happen in Season 3 but fans will always hope so.
Castlevania: Nocturneis available on Netflix.
