Two words, KOJI IGARASHI.
This is a man so committed to his craft that he carries a whip with him, Belmont-style. Possibly in order to be ready for the next coming of Dracula. And he’d know when the dark lord will next arrive, after all, this man is so well versed in the lore of Castlevania that, in one fell swoop, he wiped Circle of the Moon, Castlevania Legends, Castlevania 64 and Castlevania: Legacy of darkness out of the official timeline.
And he certainly has the cred to give some creative license to the Castlevania series. If you consider that he almost single handedly has kept the series alive, directing all entries in the series since Symphony of the Night, apart from the first GBA title, Circle of the Moon, Koji Igarashi should be able to practically write himself INTO the Castlevania timeline without too much backlash from fans of the series.
Oh, and did I mention he carries a whip. For real. I don’t see Tetsuya Nomura carrying around a giant key….
