It's been over one year (18 months) since my last hot-takes video. I'm really happy to revisit this style again :)

It's gonna be a wild ride seeing how this all plays out. Just less than a week from now we'll get to see if everyone was right to judge Annette early or not.

But analysis aside, I really do love her redesign she looks so cool

Set in 1792, during the French Revolution, it follows Richter Belmont, a descendant of the Belmont family.
Wikipedia

Annette (アネット, Anetto?) (called Annet in Dracula X) is a supporting character in the Castlevania series. She is Richter Belmont's girlfriend. She made her debut in the 1993 NEC PC Engine CD game Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, reprising this role in a few other games such as Castlevania: Dracula X, Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, CR Pachinko Akumajō Dracula, and Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls.

In some games, and depending on the actions taken by the player along their journey, she can also be fought as a boss
Castlevania Fandom Wiki

Annette is described as a swordswoman "who used her power and wits to escape vampire-enforced enslavement in the Caribbean, and now wields magic to stop the impending apocalyptic threat". She uses her skills in magic and swordsmanship with great efficiency, as shown in a battle where she wields two swords against a vampire and in another where she conjured up a sword seconds before using it to slay a night creature.
