Today's Character
Soma Cruz is an 18-year-old student in Japan in 2035 who suddenly finds himself inside Dracula's castle with the ability to claim the souls and abilities of the monsters he defeats.

Yes. Gothic Mega Man.

absolutely yes 10/10 best castlevania husbando

Yes

Yeah

He's overpowered in Harmony of Despair (underrated gem if you had people to play it with) to imo the game's detriment
Character not nearly as interesting as it could be, though I like evil Soma
Gothic Mega Man is cool though and his gameplay is fun.

Possibly the toughest call to me in this topic series because he's definitely not a neutral but I don't feel super strongly about his good and bad elements to the point where any of them make it clear-- it all balances out at some level. But... yeah... uh...

Yes.

Outside of his gimmick, he doesn't do much for me. He's super oblivious, gullible, slightly chauvinstic (to Yoko in Dawn). The will he won't he feelings for Mina go absolutely nowhere. This guy is supposed to be a massive killer of demons and other monstrosities. These games don't allow for "dork protagonists" like JRPGs do.

No.

*Note: I get he's a college student and not some veteran hunter. Doesn't excuse that Castlevania on the whole isn't designed around stupid gullible teenage protagonists. Goes against the whole, "Look at all the blood!"

Yes he's pretty good
