I have to say that I enjoyed it quite a lot, even if the last episode felt like it was assembled in a hurry. But the whole retrospective got me thinking of something I&#8217;ve always been wondering with the Castlevania-series; How DO you kill Dracula with a whip?<\/p>\n<p>I mean, I&#8217;ve heard of Dracula dying of sunlight, stakes, drowning, drowned in an icy river, electricuted by a bolt of lightning, mushed up in old wheels&#8230; But I&#8217;ve never seen him getting beaten to death by a whip.\u00a0 I am pretty sure that Dracula is a sadomasochist and returns every 50-100 years or so just to get a good whipping by the Belmont&#8217;s.

Try looking at the window and see what image it&#8217;s meant to represent \ud83d\ude42 I am sure you guys can figure it out, if you are a Castlevania-fan.<\/p>\n<p>Now I am off to do something else.
