I'll think about it more in the future, though. It's easier to come up with weak, feminine characters. (laughs) Usually, the vampire storyline motifs, females tend to be sacrificed. IGA: 'I purposefully left the Sonia Belmont character (from Castlevania: Legends for GBC) out of the official Castlevania chronology. Why the switch? Igarashi explained his position in a 2003 interview with EGM: The first member of the traditional Belmont bloodline is now Leon Belmont, an 11th century knight who debuted in 2003's Castlevania: Lament of Innocence for the PlayStation 2.

In the early aughts, Sonia was made an unwoman by series producer Koji Igarashi. Or maybe Sonia Belmont got married to a nice farmer.
Anyway, it's kind of fun to imagine that the blood of Count Dracula is destined to forever return to him, generation after generation, with whip at the ready. While it was never explicitly stated that the baby was Trevor and was sired by Alucard, you don't have to stretch your imagination too far to come to that conclusion. The snapshot was accompanied by a lot of dialogue about fate and destiny and children who would grow up to become vampire hunters. It's not gonna be easy, but I got this magic whip and about thirty axes.'Ĭastlevania Legends had multiple endings, and if you got the best one, the epilogue showed an image of Sonia holding a baby.
Grandpa's gone senile and we gotta put him in a home. He woke up some years later when Trevor Belmont shook his shoulder and said, 'Dad. Sonia and Alucard had a final showdown/meeting before Sonia went up against Dracula, and after Sonia won, Alucard submerged himself in a long, long sulk.

Sonia, who possessed bizarre powers that no other human being could lay claim to at the time, was the first vampire hunter in the Belmont bloodline to stand up to Dracula, though it was her grandfather who bequeathed her the famed Vampire Killer whip and taught her how to fight.Īside from her special powers and her talent in fighting evil, Sonia also had an interesting friend: Alucard, the son of Dracula, who was something of a celebrity to Castlevania fans at the time thanks to 1997's beloved adventure, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Born roughly around 1450, Sonia was in the prime of her life when Count Dracula rose into power for the first time and discovered the joy of terrorizing Europe. Sonia Belmont was the star of Castlevania Legends, a traditional-style Castlevania game that hit the Game Boy in 1997 (1998 in North America). Other changes were made without celebration or ceremony, including the erasure of the original Belmont Prime: Sonia Belmont. Some of Castlevania's canon changes, like the series' recent plunge into the alternate Lords of Shadow universe, is as clear and noticeable as a werewolf's howl. While Castlevania's lineage isn't as mixed up as a tangled fishing reel just yet (unlike, say, the Zelda series-cue mass groan from the gaming world), the series has still endured significant reboots, canon alterations, and prequel after prequel after prequel. As is normal for most long-lived video game series, the timeline for the Castlevania legacy is beginning to resemble a ten chariot pile-up, mangled horses and all.
