Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (1993 Video Game)

Hiroya Ishimaru: Count Dracula

Quotes 

• Count Dracula : [enters Annette's room]  Such a fine girl. Surely the blood of a beautiful woman will quench the thirst in my body.

  Annette : [holds out a knife to herself]  Stay away from me!

  Count Dracula : [chuckles]  What are you afraid of? In exchange for your blood, you can gain eternal life and beauty for me, can you not? Please, it's a simple matter. I get what I need, and you benefit as well. And then together, you and I shall reign over this world.

  Annette : If it means becoming... a savage, I... I would sooner kill myself.

  Count Dracula : [places his palm on Annette's cheek]  As you wish. However, what exactly makes me a savage? If my existence itself makes me savage, is that not the result of this world? Are not all the people of this age savages as well? If so, I should be a shining beacon for what this world wants me to be. The one to lead them, do you not agree?

  Shaft : My lord Count!

  Count Dracula : What is it?

  Shaft : There are intruders in the castle.

  Count Dracula : I see. Destiny can be quite fun at times. They've likely come to interfere. I hope you'll be in a better mood later. Mua ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

  [leaves the room] 

  Annette : Save me, Richter...

  [Dracula has just been defeated in combat by Richter] 

  Count Dracula : Once again, the blood of Belmont has defeated me. Perhaps this too, is part of my fate.

  Richter Belmont : Death to you! The world is not yours to exist in!

  Count Dracula : It is not by my own power that I am resurrected. It is the greed of humanity which calls me back, and thus, by might, I rule. Might becomes the one and only justice in this world!

  Richter Belmont : Of all the self serving clap trap! The same fate drives all people to seek, to come together, to move forward. That surely can't be an evil thing.

  Count Dracula : [starts to burn]  And yet, here I am. Do you not have any desires?

  Richter Belmont : Well...

  Count Dracula : It is by your desires that you humans prosper. And it is your faith which has ruled you. Considering that, can you really call me evil?

  Richter Belmont : But people cannot be ruled by power alone. The sacred, the honorable, the loved, those things can rule humanity. Something evil will eventually fall to ruin!

  Count Dracula : I see, perhaps you're right. Ha ha ha ha ha. We shall meet again, blood of Belmont! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

  [Dracula's body burns to ashes and Richter is last seen standing on the cliff watching the castle from afar]

  [Maria's ending] 

  Count Dracula : Once again, the blood of Belmont has defeated me. Perhaps this too, is part of my fate.

  Maria Renard : It's your fault! For being so mean to everyone!

  [Maria's cat meows angrily at Dracula] 

  Count Dracula : It is not by my own power that I am resurrected. It is the greed of humanity which calls me back, and thus, by might, I rule. Might becomes the one and only justice in this world!

  Maria Renard : I don't understand what that means! No matter how complicated you make it, a bad thing is still a bad thing!

  Count Dracula : [Dracula starts to burn]  So long as greedy humans exist, I shall be reborn. That's all you need to remember. Hm, hm, hm, hm, hm, hm... You proved amusing to me! We shall meet again, blood of Belmont! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

  [Dracula's body burns to ashes] 

  Maria Renard : What's he think is so funny?

  [just then, the castle starts to crumble] 

  Maria Renard : Oh, it's crumbling! Everyone, run for it, quickly!

  [Maria and her animals escape the castle just as it collapses, Maria and the animals then stand from afar watching the remains of the castle crumble; after the credits finish, Maria waves at the player]
