Charlotte Aulin

"Well, that's the truth, isn't it? You can't lie to a priest."

"Stop treating me like a child. My name is Charlotte."

"Trust us. Jonathan might seem unreliable, but he'd never break a promise."

"Is that your excuse? How typical. Now resign yourself to your fate!"

"Thanks to my magical genius."

"It's a piece of cake for a genius such as myself."

"If something is troubling you, it is important that we talk."

"Getting too cocky can be fatal."


Death

"This castle belongs to Lord Dracula. To him and no one else."

"Ha! You're no match for me! Your father was much stronger than you. And now he's dead!"

"You will not touch Lord Dracula! This time, let's fight for real!"

"My power! Use my power!"

"I see it. I see your... death!"


Dracula

"Soul Steal!"

"This ends now!"

"One day, my power will be fully revived!"

"I look forward to seeing who will have the last laugh."


Eric Lecarde (Wind)

"A ghost as you can see. Ghosts have no need for names."

"My name is meaningless, but I suppose you need to call me something. Very well. Call me 'Wind'."

"It's alright. It's the fate of my family. My daughters have a task they must perform. If I can see them one last time before I pass away, that's good enough for me."

"I'm truly glad I could see you both at the moment of my death. Live for all you're worth."


Jonathan Morris

"Charlotte! can't you even pretend to play along for once?"

"No problem, though. I've won every battle till now without the whip. Not one loss."

"Don't compare me to my father!!"

"Listen, My father only taught me the basics of fighting. Then he went and got himself killed, leaving me the heir to the whip! This whip I can't even use. He was always so selfish."

"Enough about all this talk about my father. Talking won't change a thing."

"So in the end... This whip is useless. I guess my being as its heir is just the emptiest, most meaningless title of all."

"We won't know if it's too late until we try."

"I may not have the whip's power, but I can still kick your ass!"

"I like to think positive, that's all."

"Well, I'll do what I can. I prefer not to die young."

"Being a family means being connected by heart. Ties of blood and soul is insignificant. When I learned why my father did what he did, I understood. You used a curse to manipulate your "dear daughters"! Now THAT'S sad!"


Killer Clown

"Let's play!"


Lilith and Succubus

"Filthy cow!"

"I'll play with you!"

"Do you wish to die?"

"Father... Before our own eyes...!"

"I'm going to become stronger. I'll try hard so that you'll never have to worry again. You need not always work so hard."


Loretta Lecarde (Vampire)

"I knew I smelled something. Seems like some maggots got inside."

"Heh-heh-heh... What an amusing sight. A child who fancies herself an adult!"

"Yes... Allow me to demonstrate how utterly pathetic they are."

"I have no time to waste listening to the words of a despicable human."

"Say your prayers!"


Medusa

"Petrify!"

"Filthy Humans!"


Nyx

"Medicine time!"

"Don't you feel better now?"


Richter Belmont (Whip's Memory)

"I'm counting on you..."


Skeleton Farmer

"Prey my beauties!"


Skull Bartender

"Welcome!"

"This one's for you!"


Stella Lecarde

"Remember your dignity!"

"Once more, our family shares the fate of the Morris family. We are Lecardes, after all."

"Let's all do what destiny had intended for us..."


Stella Lecarde (Vampire)

"Watching these fools get worked up can be so entertaining."

"Father, you need not waste your time on such insolent pests."

"Watch your tongue, mortal!! I held back with my father present, but here, you're as good as dead."

"I alone will take care of you. I'll tear you apart, limb by limb, then wring all the blood from your bodies!"


Vincent Dorin

"To think that the master of the legendary Vampire Killer would come here! A blessing indeed."

"I'ts a matter of... economics."

Conversations:

1) Jonathan and Charlotte

Jonathan: "Well then, let's hurry up and rip it to shreds!"

Charlotte: "Impossible. Anything we do will be pointless. From what I can tell, based on the theory of curse amplification, this picture is a multilayer quantum-space barrier. A kind of paranormal phenomenon."

Jonathan: "Uh, okay... And what does that mean in human language?"


2) Eric and Jonathan

Eric: "For one who is not of the Belmont family, to use the true power of the Vampire Killer, they must give up a part of their own life. That's why my family acts as the power's key. So that it can only be used when truly necessary. John used the whip too much..."

Jonathan: "So what are you saying? You mean my father died because of this whip?"

Eric: "Exactly. Which is why he didn't want to teach you how to use it. He wanted you to develop the strength to survive without using the whip. No matter how much you hate him for doing that, in the end, he was only looking out for you."


3) Vincent and Jonathan

"Vincent: "Now I can get back to business! You have my eternal gratitude!"

Jonathan: "So how about a freebie as a token of gratitude?"

Vincent: "Absolutely not! That has nothing to do with this! A man has to earn a living!"


4) Brauner and Jonathan

Brauner: "Damn you, humans... You selfishly start wars and despoil the earth. Perhaps justice wasn't on my side but I will never admit that it was on yours."

Jonathan: "Fine either way. After all, 'justice' is just a matter of perspective. The fact is, you're just a coward who couldn't face the truth. You couldn't accept your fate, so you just abandoned humanity to get what you wanted."

Brauner: "I just... I just wanted to protect my family."


5) Jonathan and Charlotte

Jonathan: "Check out bandage man here! How can I seriously fight a guy who's already hurt?"

Charlotte: "Don't get all wrapped up trying to go after the mummy!"


6) Jonathan, Charlotte and Vincent

Vincent: "Even so... The two brave vampire hunters... I envy you..."

Jonathan: "She's like my kid sister!"

Charlotte: "Jonathan! Stop treating me like a child!"


7) Jonathan, Charlotte and Vincent

Vincent: "Hmm... The perfect couple! I am slightly jealous."

Jonathan and Charlotte: "Vincent, you're scaring me!"
