** Speaking of his plan, Trevor implicates that Death [[ManBehindTheMan had been among Dracula's council]] for a ''[[TimeAbyss very]]'' [[TimeAbyss long time]], something that Death doesn't refute with how possessively he describes Dracula as his treasure and important to his [[OmnicidalManiac omnicidal plans]] throughout history; however, remember that once Dracula met Lisa, he was more than content to [[LoveRedeems turn from being a heel to be with her]], which goes against everything Death wants and needs. It is heavily implied then that Death, using his various powers and manipulations, may have had Lisa's death arranged ''specifically'' to [[LoveMakesYouEvil motivate Dracula]] to go back off the slippery end and bring carnage on a scale unimagined, something he intended to have repeated with the Rebis that Saint Germain made by twisting that same love again to his advantage, [[EvilIsPetty all so he wouldn't go hungry anymore]]. Given how much evidence is on the plate, it's safe to say Death's plans just to keep himself fed have [[GreaterScopeVillain intentionally caused all of the pain throughout the entire series]] in one way or another whether people knew it or not. [[EvilerThanThou There's evil, and then there's]] '''[[CompleteMonster that]]'''.

** Carmilla's [[AnythingThatMoves stated proclivities]] combined with Hector's good looks and [[ManChild naivete]] lend an [[InterplayofSexandViolence extremely uncomfortable undercurrent]] to her interactions with him. It's not hard to read her constantly violating his personal space, calling him vaguely intimate nicknames like pet, and collaring him as more than just enjoying power over someone. [[RapeisaSpecialKindofEvil The likelihood of Carmilla taking advantage of Hector is high.]] Thankfully, as Season 3 reveals, she's never touched him. [[FromBadToWorse Unfortunately...]]

* Trevor and Sypha spend six weeks since leaving Lindenfeld running into numberous groups of vampires, Night Creatures and some nasty humans, including:

* Carmilla's plan has evolved from securing enough humans as permanent livestock to a mix of [[TakeOverTheWorld World Domination]] and [[KillEmAll full-on genocide on a global scale.]], just to spite Dracula and all the other Vampire Lords. She explains this to Lenore, after if she asks if her scheme will make her happy, whose expressions switch between [[OhCrap fear and concern.]]

* How the series paints death, in general, is pretty terrifying. For most media, [[WeAllDieSomeday Death isn't evil, but is just a natural force]]. Here, Death is an active agent that not only fulfils its purpose, but [[OmnicidalManiac actively tries to cause more of it]]. From a Meta perspective, we know that Vampires will eventually cause UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, which will lead into UsefulNotes/WorldWar2. This is to say nothing of atrocities like UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust, UsefulNotes/TheArmenianGenocide, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor Holodomor,]] [[UsefulNotes/MaoZedong The Great Leap Forward]], [[UsefulNotes/{{Cambodia}} The Khmer Rouge Genocide]], and so many more. Trevor may have stopped Death's current plans for mass slaughter, but, in the end, Death always gets what he wants... [[SoulEating more meat]].

* The Rebis itself is horrifying to look at. [[FleshGolem Assembled from several corpses]], it has the bits and pieces of man and woman intermixed, with a man's arm attached to half a woman's torso. And it's face; the flesh on it is sewn together in such a way that it looks more like bandages than flesh. When the souls of Dracula and Lisa are fused into it, the face starts contorting into their faces, tearing through it's own flesh as needed while they scream in pain and confusion. ''This'' was the fate that Death wanted to subject Dracula to. Hell, even the main trio are absolutely horrified of this abomination.

Here, Death is an active agent that not only fulfills its purpose but actively tries to cause more of it. From a Meta perspective, we know that Vampires will eventually cause WWI which will lead into WWII. This is to say nothing of the genocides like the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, the Holodomor, the Great Leap Forward, the Cambodian Genocide, etc. Trevor may have stopped Death's current plans for mass slaughter, but, in the end, Death always gets what he wants: more meat.

* The long-awaited fight between the heroes and Dracula slides into this territory very fast. Even with Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard all working together, it's clear the very instant the "[[CurbStompBattle fight]]" starts that Godbrand was ''[[DumbassHasAPoint absolutely right]]''. [[WorfHadTheFlu Even in Dracula blood-starved condition]], they don't stand a chance; he stops Alucard's opening attack with two fingers, Sypha's fire magic doesn't even faze him, and he looks almost ''amused'' when Trevor resorts to punching him to get him away from Sypha. Trevor manages to get in a lucky hit with the Morningstar Whip, which has been established several times to instantly kill every other vampire he's used it against. It doesn't kill Dracula, but it does bring him to his knees... Then Dracula gets ''pissed'' and [[IAmNotLeftHanded stops holding back]]. It takes all three of them just to survive his next attack, and even though Alucard gets him on the defensive, he turns it right back around and the ensuing beatdown becomes horribly one-sided. If it hadn't been for the fight spilling into Alucard's childhood bedroom, the sight of which causing a massive VillainousBSOD and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone making him realize]] [[OffingTheOffspring he's trying to kill his own son]], ''Dracula would have'' '''''WON'''''. [[FridgeHorror It's enough to make one wonder how the hell Trevor's ancestors survived fighting him at his peak.]]

* This is hammered in even further by Trevor when he tells Sypha that for the past few months they've been living ''her life'', and now that everything's gone downhill? '''They're living his'''.

-->'''[=FlysEyes=]:''' I was... betrayed. I was hunted. I was ''tortured''. I... lied for my life, in a church, before a ''judge''. I gave up others so that I may live. [[HadToComeToPrisonToBeACrook I became a sinner]], and... [[MortonsFork and they killed me anyway]]. I woke up in Hell, [[CrapsackWorld because this world is insane]]. And... I learned something about sin.\\

'''[=FlysEyes=]:''' I learned... [[EvilFeelsGood to like it]]. Yet here I am, back on the surface, strong and free, in a world where ''thinking''... is something that should be ''tortured'' and ''murdered''. ''([[TheUnsmile grins unnervingly]])'' Thank you... for my second life. [[PayEvilUntoEvil I intend to use it well, and make wonderful new dreams... of it]].

--> '''Alucard:''' (''bitterly'') Well... I suppose I could have put up big signs all over the place. "Do not enter." "Danger of death." "[[TitleDrop Abandon all hope]]". heh... That sort of thing. [[LikeFatherLikeSon But this seemed to work well enough... for dead old Dad.]]
