Castlevania 3's Japanese manual
>Dracula's territory was located at the outskirts of Transylvania, at the Wallachia territory, where he used a taboo art to ressurect an evil deity. The deity granted him power and in exchange, he summoned several apparitions from the spirit world in order to scorch and massacre the entire nation of Wallachia with darkness.
>He felt he could extend his presence even further and now he's plotting to take all over Europe. The East Orthodox Church were desperate to solve this situation, that they immediately dispatched a powerful army to Wallachia, but they never came back.
>As a last resort, the Pope made a request to a man from the underworld, a man who uses a forbidden art and a pair of Vampire Hunters to end Wallachia's oppresion.
>The first one that was entrusted by the Pope was Sypha Belnandez at the East Orthodox Church, an apprentice monk in pursuit of becoming a priest. Sypha lost his parents when he was young and was found wandering near the monastery, where he remained at the once-beautiful Wallachia. Sypha knew that the place in his memories was now tainted and he accepted the pope's request to liberate Wallachia.
>The Pope was in predicament once again. Sypha, the vampire hunter who was sent out to Wallachia did not returned after the promised period. The Pope assumed that since Sypha didn't return, his mission was already a failure and he was more likely dead by now.
>This is when a genuine Vampire Hunter from the Belmont family appears to fullfil the Pope's request. The Belmont family, with their tenacious willpower and seemingly bottomless strenght were treated no differently from the actual vampires and were just as feared. Because of this, the Belmont family lived far away from common people, becoming almost folkloric. The Pope searched in all directions until he met a man with Belmont bloodline. A longhair young man who was Ralph C. Belmont.
How do you go from this to the anti-Christianity we saw in the show?
