Drolta Tzuentes is back inCastlevania: Nocturneseason 2, even though she was apparently killed by Alucard at the end of season 1. In a world where vampires and night creatures exist, it can be difficult to keep track ofCastlevania: Nocturne’s castand whether certain characters are technically still alive. The Netflix animated series isset 300 years afterCastlevania, withCastlevania: Nocturneseason 2 picking up right where the previous season left off.
WhileCastlevania: Nocturne’s Erzsebet Báthory has been presented as the show’s main villain, the self-proclaimed Vampire Messiah was not the only threat faced by Richter Belmont. In fact, Erzsebet Báthory remained mostly in the shadows in season 1 as Drolta, her most loyal servant, made the necessary preparations for the return of the Goddess of War. However,Alucard effortlessly killed Drolta at the end of season 1, raising the question of how the villain could be back in season 2.

Castlevania: Nocturneseason 2continued to push the limits of what a Devil Forgemaster can do asDrolta, a vampire, was brought back as a night creature by the Abbot.Having been responsible for creating an army of night creatures for Erzsebet, the Abbot was tasked with bringing Drolta’s soul back from Hell. However, he was unsure about whether it could even be done. Although we followed two Forgemasters in the originalCastlevaniaseries, we had yet to see the process being done on a vampire.
Castlevania: Nocturne’s Drolta is played by Elarica Johnson in the English dub.
Whileit is unclear how exactly the Forgemaster process works when it comes to turning a vampire into a night creature, the fact is that it worked. Drolta came back to the world of the living, this time as a vampire-night creature hybrid. Not only did Drolta look different and even more menacing, but she was also far more powerful than when she was just a vampire. Surprisingly, Drolta retained her consciousness, similar to what happened to Edouard.Castlevania: Nocturneseason 2 further explored what night creatures actually are and how much of the original person they still resemble.
