Tropes for this episode include:

  • Big Damn Heroes: Alucard shows up just in time to save the villagers from a group of brutish night creatures.
  • Borrowed Catchphrase: Alucard uses Trevor's "God shits on my dinner once again" before realizing he's becoming more and more like Trevor.
  • The Bus Came Back: Saint Germain returns after disappearing in the Infinite Corridor at the end of last season.
  • Call-Back: During his travels in search of more information regarding the Infinite Corridor, Saint-Germain strikes up a conversation with a regular at a certain tavern discussing sexual congress with livestock.
  • Establishing Character Moment: When we first see Greta, she's holding her own against night creatures. Then, when she speaks with Alucard, she plainly tells him that she doesn't like or trust him because he's half-vampire (and reeks of alcohol) but that he's also the best solution she could think of for her and the village of Danesti's survival. She demands that he either commit to saving the people of the village, no matter what it takes or how long, or go right back where he came from. This establishes her as someone who is forward, pragmatic, tough, and takes no bullshit.
  • Faceā€“Heel Turn: It turns out that after he made it to the Infinite Corridor, Saint Germain was convinced by an alchemist there that he needed to let go of his morals if he wanted to control the Corridor and find the love of his life, having threatened and killed people before he made his way to Danesti.
  • He's Back!: Alucard returns in fine form protecting the people of Danesti after spending the last season watching over his castle and this season drunk and depressed.
  • Last of His Kind: Marius, the rider who was buried at Castlevania, was the last of his family.
  • Love Makes You Evil: Saint Germain is willing to go to any depths to see his love one again.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Saint Germain is usually goofy, and light hearted, to see him angry, swearing and slapping a vampire is shocking and shows how far he's fallen.
  • Shield Bash: Alucard defeats a night creature by ramming his shield through its head.
  • The Voiceless: Saint Germain's love one never speaks on screen, all we hear is Saint Germain's reactions to her.
  • You Are Too Late: Saint Germain's loved one left long before he got back to the Infinite Corridor.
