  • Castlevania: Judgment has Golem's storyline: Golem spends his storyline trying to figure out if he really has a soul and hoping to find a place to live. During this process, his creator, Carmilla, declares he can never be human and tries to destroy him, and then Death notes that he has a soul, but tries to destroy him for no longer being a mindless servitor. Then, whilst Golem is reveling in the proof that he has a soul, Aeon reveals that if he leaves the time rift, then he will lose his soul and revert back to his mindless former self. However, unless he stops the Time Reaper who is creating the rift, all of humanity will eventually be destroyed. After hearing this, Golem makes a Heroic Sacrifice and battles Time Reaper, because "that's what a human would do". He ends up stranded in ruins, a mindless beast once more, and ends up being destroyed by some random nameless nobody of a hunter.
