History Headscratchers / Castlevania2017

* So Adi Shankar reveals that he's going to make a ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' animated series along with a 3rd season of Castlevania and not only that, both series are part of a SharedUniverse. How is that gonna work? First, Castlevania and Devil May Cry are owned by different game companies (Creator/{{Konami}} and Creator/{{Capcom}} respectively) and they don't take place on the same Earth (While Castlevania has the same RealLife history as our world albeit one where Vampires, magic and supernatural creatures exist, the world of Dmc has a different history where the world was almost invaded by demons, their version of the Church worships a demon who fought and defended humanity and Dmc 5 even takes place in an alternative version of London with a different name). Secondary, did Shankar even get permission from both Capcom and Konami to have a crossover with their franchises? Capcom and Konami have so far from I seen haven't said anything about this crossover since it's only Shankar himself who said its happening. Plus both
companies might not like it if Shankar does something to anger them with their franchises like say make one character look better than the other. Furthermore, both series have different tones with Castlevania being a gothic horror adventure while Dmc is a cool, action game with a sense of humor with snarky heroes.

* With Nocturne confirmed, who will be the main antagonist of the show? Season 4 concluded with Dracula and Lisa being resurrected after the destruction of the Rebis. Instead of revenge, both Dracula and Lisa live a normal life peacfeully, while giving Alucard time to cope with the new living conditions as head of the castle. While Nocturne happens 300 years after Dracula's Curse, are they going to re-tell what happened between the times?

* For the how, season 3 introduced the Infinite Corridor, a magic portal that can connect to any point in time and space. Sounds like a handy way to visit other worlds, or in this case other franchises. As for the legal issue, that relies entirely on whether or not Konami and Capcom are willing to play ball. So we're halfway there.
* Honestly, it sounds like a new rule must be made these days: All forms of media can and must have, in some form, a crossover with similar media.

** Additionally, the Archbishop's speech states that Lisa's execution and Dracula's threat occurred "slightly over" a year ago, indicating that the celebration is not occurring on the exact day of Lisa's death but sometime shortly following. Because nothing happened on the anniversary date itself, they assumed (foolishly) that the threat was an empty one; their celebration was less to commemorate Lisa's death and more of a "the threat has passed and we're all alive" kind of thing.
