Soma doesn't realize how strong he is.

In most of the other games, Castlevania is the pinnacle of a hunter's career. The Belmonts and Belnades train their whole lives and send their strongest scions to challenge it. The Order of Ecclesia was founded specifically to fight the threat of Dracula. Even though Maria was a child in Rondo, she also had the power of actual gods at her disposal.

But Soma? Just fell into the plot one day, Alucard said, "Go get it boy," and he had to run through the whole place. He must have figured that if he got it dumped on him, it must be survivable even for an untrained teenager. And hey, handy magic powers!

Nobody ever told him that Dracula's Castle isn't just any spooky castle, it's an actual hellgate full of some of the strongest demons around. Arikado has a reason to not tell him, and Yoko's probably in on it, too. Graham is too self-absorbed to think anything's weird about an allegedly untrained civilian surviving a place like this, and Julius might have been suspicious because of that. I suppose Hammer snuck around and avoided fighting, and he figured Soma did the same. Mina, that depends on how much she actually knows about Castlevania.

Soma knows that his powers make him superhuman, because he has a frame of reference for the average person. But since the only other hunter he's seen fight is Julius, he doesn't know how he compares to the other pros.

He doesn't realize that his weapon stances aren't just "what felt right at the time;" they're straight from the classical schools of European swordsmanship. The hastily improvised plans of attack are variants on Mathias's old tactics. And he definitely doesn't think that shattering stone statues with one blow is anything worth noting.

I'm trying to get a consensus on what the Castlevania fandom would like to see once Castlevania: Nocturne wraps up. Which direction should the creative team go in if the series continues?

You only speak the truth about Dracula. Now, is Soma a bratty bottom too?

Soma woke up in the Castle and started using the Power of Dominance all over the place and then decided he was not going to be the Dark Lord, and cut his bonds with the castle for good.

Then a year later he has to fight a cult and gets close to become the Dark Lord again, but he fight through it, because fuck those guys and fuck Menace he doesn't want to become the Dark Lord. And he's not allowing anyone else to become it or bring it back either.

He is only partially like Dracula... he's a bratty top. 😔

#look at this absolute twink Power Dominating all over the Castle. smh. #literally bratty top personnified. #soma is like a 'good' version of Dracula wich means top is good and bottom is evil #while bratty is neutral #don't @ me #soma cruz #akumajou dracula #castlevania aria of sorrow #castlevania dawn of sorrow

Day 9: Soma Cruz

[cake-apostate]

A while back, I remember Soma Cruz's page on the Castlevania wiki mentioning that he lived in the village of Hakuba, which is in Nagano Prefecture. I thought it was a bit weird that Mina Hakuba shared her surname with the town; was the implication that the town was named after the shrine?

Turns out it's a real place. It's a village surrounded by mountains, a real tourist and ski attraction, and they had the 1998 Winter Olympics there. Couldn't find much on it, but the pictures are beautiful. I love mountains.

It looks like a pretty rural place, so I was wondering about how the intro to Dawn of Sorrow shows Mina and Soma hanging around in a sprawling city surrounded by mountains. Either it got really built up over the years (it is the future, after all), or they're not in Hakuba at all. My interpretation is that they're in college in a different city entirely.

It also turns out that the village of Hakuba was created as a merger of two other villages in 1956, which brings up questions about the Hakuba Shrine and the Hakuba family. Was the new village named after the shrine? Or is it just a coincidence? Is it one of those things where peoples' surnames come from the village name; does Japan do that? Probably not important.
