From ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow]]''. Like Alucard, he wields several kinds of weapons but mainly swords. Unlike Alucard, his weapon catalog is more diverse, ranging from axes to cudgels and even guns. Can use the [[PowerCopying Power of Dominance]] [[YourSoulIsMine to absorb enemy souls]] and gain more attacks. Souls become enhanced the more they are collected.

From ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow]]''. Wields the Vampire Killer whip much like Simon Belmont did in ''VideoGame/SuperCastlevaniaIV'', with eight-directional whipping and the ability to grab on Magnes points. Unlike Jonathan, he only has access to the traditional Belmont subweapons and only has 2 Martial Arts: Omnia Vanitas, his teleport dash from ''Aria of Sorrow'', and the [[{{Shoryuken}} Uppercut]]. In addition, his Vampire Killer has the longest range of all the whip users.

From ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow]]''. Wields the Belnades Staff, which no longer gives a life bonus when hitting enemies. Uses her three spells from ''Dawn of Sorrow'': Blue Splash, Holy Flames, and Holy Lightning. She has the strongest spells and the fastest [[RegeneratingMana MP regeneration rate]] of all the magic users, but is one of only two characters who cannot perform jump kicks (the other being Charlotte), the least spells out of any character and the worst physical attacks.

* MultiMeleeMaster: Of note, he and Soma share some of the biggest weapon pools in the game. Alucard's reportoire of weapons includes but isn't limited to {{Cool Sword}}s and {{Katanas|AreJustBetter}}, DualTonfas, [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe shields]], and {{Power Fist}}s.

* MultiMeleeMaster: Of note, he and Alucard share some of the biggest weapon pools in the game. Soma's reportoire of weapons includes but isn't limited to [[CoolSword swords]], [[AnAxeToGrind axes]], [[BladeOnAStick spears]], and [[SinisterScythe scythes]].

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The romaji of his given name has a long "u" vowel in it, so the non-lazy way to spell it out is "Souma".

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The romaji of her name like with Soma/Souma's also has a long "u" vowel (can be written as "Youko" or with an overline).

!!'''Getsu Fuma''' (or '''Fuma Getsu''' in Western naming order)

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The romaji of his given name has a long "u" vowel, but how it's written often varies ("Fuma", "Fuuma", "Fuhma", etc).

** AnIcePerson: Splash Needle, Ice Needle and Ice Fang spells.

** AnIcePerson: Her Grando Glyph, which flies forth to impale enemies on a shard of ice.

** HolyHandGrenade: Holy Flames and Holy Lightning have the benefit that they deal holy damage as well as Fire/Lightning Damage.

* SummonMagic: If you use his special attack with Daybreak equipped, it will still have it's effect of summoning minions to aid you.

From ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow'' and ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaDawnOfSorrow''. Like Alucard, he wields several kinds of weapons but mainly swords. Unlike Alucard, his weapon catalog is more diverse, ranging from axes to cudgels and even guns.

From ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow'' and ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaDawnOfSorrow''. Wields the Belnades Staff, which no longer gives a life bonus when hitting enemies. Uses her three spells from ''[[VideoGame/DawnOfSorrow Dawn of Sorrow]]'': Blue Splash, Holy Flames, and Holy Lightning. She has the strongest spells and the fastest [[RegeneratingMana MP regeneration rate]] of all the magic users, but is one of only two characters who cannot perform jump kicks (the other being Charlotte), the least spells out of any character and the worst physical attacks.

** PlayingWithFire: Her Holy Flames, which deals a huge amount of damage from a short burst of flame from her hand.

From ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaRondoOfBlood'' and ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'', playing more like the latter. Like Julius he can only use traditional Belmont subweapons. He can only whip forward, but to compensate he can use a vast array of Martial Arts, which include his Sliding Kick, Tackle, and Backflip and which he can chain together to perform highly damaging combos. Has the strongest physical attack power of the Belmonts.

* {{Leitmotif}}: His theme music is "Divine Bloodlines" from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaRondoOfBlood'', with elements from "The Outcasts" / "Strange Bloodlines" from ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight Symphony of the Night]]'' and "Bloodlines Bequeathed" from ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaPortraitOfRuin Portrait of Ruin]]''.
