Its more a explanation on why vampire's from non-Christian lands (Dracula recruited vampires from across the global, there is a Japanese & Indian vampires in the series) are still effected by a holy cross. Peter Watts book Blindsight kind of pulls the same idea.In this scene's defense, I actually think that kind of explanation would just flat out be cool in a setting with vampires or an equivalent written to be more bestially slaved to their instincts, especially if there were a bunch of other ways hunters exploited weaknesses in vampire biology to level the playing field. Would make it really feel like monster slaying has tangible refined intergenerational knowledge by having said knowledge be integral for every victory... all of which would be fine as its own work but leaves a bitter taste in my mouth hack fit into Castlevania as a vessel to retcon things that did not need to be retconned ala midichlorians from Star Wars.
Speaking of which, back on topic, I've never watched this series nor do I intend to. Is this just a one-off asspull to avoid giving symbolic power to the cross?
