* [=~Hey, It's That Voice!~=]:

* NoExportForYou: ''Vampire Hunter 2'' (Which features everyone in ''Vampire Savior'' sans the characters introduced in that game) and ''Vampire Savior 2'' (Which features everyone in ''Vampire Savior'' except Jon Talbain, Rikuo and Sasquatch; plus Pyron, Huitzil and Donovan) never left Japan.

** Donovan did in fact undergo a large amount of change. He was originally a stereotypical Caucasian Vampire Hunter with a broad-brimmed hat that covered his eyes, resembling a masculine Vampire Hunter D or Van Helsing. As designs changed some Asian martial artist themes were added with braided hair and a nunchaku like weapon. Finally we were given the Hinduism/Buddhism themed dhamphyr. The original concept gets a CallBack in the Playstation2 port through "Dee," a Demitri/Donovan composite character who sports a NiceHat.
