It is really common for popular media franchises to employ a final boss red herring in the narrative—scenarios where the one presented as the prime antagonist is utilized only to distract the viewers from the real big bad. In the Castlevania game series itself, characters like Shaft and Olrox have been presented as final boss red herrings, while Dracula was the true threat all along. Netflix’s acclaimed Castlevania animated series spin-off, Castlevania: Nocturne, used a similar strategy through its first season by presenting Countess Erzsebet Bathory as the main villain of the series, while in the second season, her underling, Drolta Tzuentes, turned out to be the one orchestrating every vile scheme from the shadows. Ultimately, Tzuentes was revealed as the final adversary whom Alucard and his team of vampire hunters needed to defeat to bring an end to the nightmarish horrors plaguing France.
