Covering all 8 episodes of the Netflix original animated series Castlevania Season Two, here are 26 individual Easter eggs causal fans might have missed.

The Human Forgemasters

Traditionally known as Devil Forgemasters, the concept first appeared in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness — along with Hector and Isaac. Like the Netflix adaptation, Hector betrays Dracula and Isaac (also featured in Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse) remains loyal.

Slogra and Gaibon were the final bosses Simon Belmont faced (Super Castlevania IV) before squaring off against Dracula. The paired aerial attack used by the monsters in Episode 2 is from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

In the same scene, a fire-breathing Hellhound (another boss from Castlevania: Bloodlines) also attacks Trevor Belmont, Sypha, and Alucard.

Music Callback

Originally featured in Simons Quest, the song “Bloody Tears” is a tune Castlevania gamers will recognize almost immediately. Composer for the Netflix original series, Trevor Morris, incorporated this iconic song in Episodes 2 and 7 of Castlevania Season Two.

Leon Belmont

Gamers will recognize the name of Leon Belmont (painting of him in Episode 3 and 7), founder of the Belmont legacy and prominently featured as the lead protagonist in Castlevania: Lament of Innocence. The series would, unfortunately, retcon Leon’s story (non-Canon) with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, introducing Gabriel Belmont.

Fancy Vampire Moves

Alucard shows off his skills is Castlevania Season Two, Episode 2, when fighting Slogra and Gaibon. The move is called Teleport, first featured in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
