Character analysis**
Aunque la trama va mucho más del resumen, ya que ese fragmento es solo la punta del Iceberg de la serie pero es esencial colocarla para que puedan entender de qué se trata, ya que ese conflicto es lo que mueve toda la trama desde el inicio hasta el final. En esta parte les hablare un poco sobre los personajes que en mi opinión son esenciales para la trama.
Although the plot goes much further than the summary, since this fragment is only the tip of the Iceberg of the series, it is essential to place it so that you can understand what it is about, since this conflict is what moves the whole plot from the beginning to the end. In this part I will talk a little about the characters that in my opinion are essential to the plot.

***- Trevor Belmont: Es difícil ser el único personaje que sabe cómo matar y cómo actúan los demonios y los vampiros cuando para el resto de la humanidad eres un culpable ante los ojos del dios cristiano-católico según sus feligreses. Trevor desde el inicio trato de pasar desapercibido como un vagabundo borracho sin interesarle nada ni nadie pero esto tiene una razón de ser y la mayoría de los causantes fueron los mismo que trajeron la desgracia a la humanidad, la iglesia, Trevor no tenía ningún interés de hacerlo contra las hordas de Drácula ya que la mayoría de las personas lo reprochaban debido a que el apellido de su familia fue excomulgado por la iglesia y perdían todo prestigio como personas. Sin embargo, al ver la masacre de los niños y personas inocentes que solo buscaban sobrevivir en las ciudades y las precarias situaciones inhumanas en que se encontraban los pobladores, decidió poco a poco dar un paso atrás a su orgullo y ser el líder que necesitaban los ciudadanos para combatir a los demonios, pese a que la iglesia no se cansaría de entorpecer su camino.
Trevor Belmont: It is difficult to be the only character who knows how to kill and how demons and vampires act when for the rest of humanity you are guilty in the eyes of the Christian-Catholic god according to his parishioners. Trevor from the beginning tried to go unnoticed as a drunken vagabond not interested in anything or anyone but this has a reason to be and most of the perpetrators were the same that brought misfortune to humanity, the church, Trevor had no interest in doing so against the hordes of Dracula as most people reproached him because his family name was excommunicated by the church and lost all prestige as people. However, upon seeing the massacre of children and innocent people who only sought to survive in the cities and the precarious inhuman situations in which the inhabitants found themselves, he gradually decided to step back from his pride and become the leader that the citizens needed to fight the demons, even though the church would not tire of hindering his path.
- Sypha Belnades: A simple vista parecía el personaje más caprichoso y débil de la serie, sobre todo en como entro a la trama. Parecía una simple niña que pertenecía a una caravana de ermitaños, yendo en ciudad en ciudad contando historias para que no se perdieran en el tiempo. Su encuentro Trevor no fue ni el más amigable ni el más terrible, siendo totalmente opuestos en sí, ella era interesada por los demás y se preocupaba por su bienestar, incluso Trevor la subestimo y la hizo a un lado, pero su actitud desafiante fue suficiente para que Sypha desataras su potencial, demostrando ser una hechicera talentosa que de no ser por ella en muchas ocasiones Trevor no la cuenta. Desde que andan juntos, Sypha pasó de ser una simple contadora de cuentas, a una guerrera que con cada episodio demostraba ser más poderosa que muchos vampiros.
Sypha Belnades: At first glance she seemed the most capricious and weak character in the series, especially in how she entered the plot. She seemed like a simple girl who belonged to a caravan of hermits, going from town to town telling stories so that they would not be lost in time. Her encounter with Trevor was neither the friendliest nor the most terrible, being totally opposite in itself, she was interested in others and worried about their welfare, even Trevor underestimated her and pushed her aside, but her defiant attitude was enough for Sypha to unleash her potential, proving to be a talented sorceress that if it weren't for her many times Trevor doesn't count her. Since they have been together, Sypha went from being a simple accountant, to a warrior that with each episode proved to be more powerful than many vampires.
- Adrian Tepes / Alucard: Seria irónico decir que el mismo hijo de Drácula estaría en contra de lo que hacía su padre dado a que es por venganza de lo que le hicieron a su madre, pero fue porque el propio Alucard era el único consciente de que eso era un error ya que sabía que su madre no lo hubiese querido. Al unirse con Trevor y Sypha, sería el 1er miembro más poderoso de los tres, debido a que ser hijo del rey de los vampiros lo colocaba por encima de los demás vampiros de la corte y su mitad humana lo hacía inmune al sol, así que podía pelear en todo momento. Alucard genere un lazo afectivo muy genuino con su equipo más allá de valorar la vida de los seres humanos como su madre y seria las mismas experiencias personales de el con otros humanos donde le daría un punto a favor a los ideales de su padre, lo que llevaría al pequeño vampiro a forjar su propio camino.
Adrian Tepes / Alucard: It would be ironic to say that the son of Dracula himself would be against what his father was doing since it was for revenge for what was done to his mother, but it was because Alucard himself was the only one aware that it was a mistake since he knew that his mother would not have wanted it. By joining with Trevor and Sypha, he would be the 1st most powerful member of the three, due to the fact that being the son of the king of the vampires placed him above the other vampires of the court and his human half made him immune to the sun, so he could fight at all times. Alucard generated a very genuine emotional bond with his team beyond valuing the lives of humans like his mother and it would be his own personal experiences with other humans that would give him a point in favor of his father's ideals, which would lead the little vampire to forge his own path.

***- Héctor e Isaac: Ambos son las únicas personas en quien Drácula deposita su confianza ya que en ellos está el mando de sus ejércitos de demonios. Lamentablemente esto los hizo víctima de conspiraciones donde cada uno deberá tomar decisiones a pesar de su lealtad e ideales compartidos por Drácula. Ambos tienen un desarrollo que es dirección a crear su propio propósito de vida, pero los caminos de ambos serian rudos y dificultosos que casi los lleva al borde de la muerte.
Hector and Isaac: Both are the only people in whom Dracula places his trust since they are in command of his armies of demons. Unfortunately this made them victims of conspiracies where each one must make decisions despite their loyalty and ideals shared by Dracula. Both have a development that is directed to create their own life purpose, but the paths of both will be rough and difficult that almost leads them to the brink of death.

Concluding remarks**
Bueno aquí es donde yo me desato y dejo mis puntos de vista en entorno a la serie, tratare de ser ordenado en mis ideas para no confundirlos. Empecemos con lo que más me emociona, las referencias históricas de esta serie son exquisitas para cualquier amante de la historia universal y los que les gusta la edad media. Agarra los elementos históricos que pasaron en la vida real para crear su propia historia de fantasías y con criaturas mitológicas, el solo hecho de darnos el nombre del primer villano Vlad Dracula Tepes, el nombre de Vlad y el apellido Tepes vienen de nada más y nada menos que el personaje de la historia medieval en la época de la inquisición católica Vlad Tepes o Vlad el empalador, quien era un príncipe despiadado de la región de Valaquia del cual está inspirado el mismo mito del Conde Drácula, Vlad solía tener medidas extremistas y despiadadas para gobernar su región, y una de ellas era de empalar vivos con estacas de madera a sus víctimas y colocarlas alrededor de toda la región de su castillo como advertencia y un mensaje, tal y como se nos hace de referencia el mismo campo de cadáveres empalados al inicio de la serie.
Well here is where I unleash and leave my views around the series, I will try to be orderly in my ideas to not confuse you. Let's start with what excites me the most, the historical references of this series are exquisite for any lover of universal history and those who like the Middle Ages. It grabs historical elements that happened in real life to create its own story of fantasies and with mythological creatures, just giving us the name of the first villain Vlad Dracula Tepes, the name Vlad and the surname Tepes come from nothing more and nothing less than the character of medieval history at the time of the Catholic Inquisition Vlad Tepes or Vlad the Impaler, who was a ruthless prince of the region of Wallachia which is inspired by the same myth of Count Dracula, Vlad used to have extreme and ruthless measures to govern his region, and one of them was to impale his victims alive with wooden stakes and place them around the entire region of his castle as a warning and a message, as we refer to the same field of impaled corpses at the beginning of the series.

***Another important aspect that I liked was the fact of making us understand that no matter how naive the people of that time were, they had reasons to do so, practically no one had access to a book, documentary or something that would make them get clear information but they depended entirely on those who had more resources and power to influence and trust their words. The church was not the only one that handled the information of the nations to rule but silenced or labeled as heretics the others that also had information but did not believe that things came from a god, what happened with Lisa Tepes was the clear example, she did not believe in god but in the supernatural for obvious reasons, but there was also something that Dracula himself showed her, science, that explains most of the things that humans considered magic or sorcery, and that said by the vampires themselves, humans are behind in the food chain because they forget and vampires don't, and destroy all those who don't share their same ideas as in the case of Lisa Tepes, accused of being a witch for only doing medical science and delaying a possible advance for humanity. Something that is not far from our reality and history.

***Finally, I would like to say that the series has a simple plot, it is not difficult to understand and is maintained throughout the chapters, where every detail is important to take into account, there are no good or bad guys, and no one is what they seem despite their appearance. Even in matters such as love, it is not necessarily introduced, but rather the development of love in the characters is understood without the need to capture it graphically or take an entire episode to do so. There are surprises and things that you will believe until you see the rest of the chapter, not to mention the good animation that has the series, but I warn you that it is quite graphic around the blood and uncensored of the massacres that occur.
