I'm very very skeptical of this post.
Trying to find the origin of the term "Demon King" or "魔王" and while originally it merely reveals to the source of evil in Buddhism more or less in regards to how it appears commonly in fiction the first appearance is FUCKING TOLKIEN IT'S ALWAYS TOLKIEN I'M GOING TO SCREAM

i'm not sure exactly what is the misconception here yet, but it seems VERY outlandish that Japan would not produce a piece of pop-culture where a "ruler of demons/evil spirits" would be called "魔王" before Tolkien became a presence in Japan.

I have a hunch there is one piece of work (as always, with these things) that covered that before Tolkien was first ever translated into Japanese... I'll check that one when I have a little more time.

While I understand the sentiment, I can EASILY tell you about 10 spots to get filled. Easily, just off the top of my head. Wanna see? +
My cope with Castlevania is that the timeline was already pretty much completed with most of the gaps already being filled, the 1999 war is a bit of a sore spot but at this point it's probably best to just leave that to the imagination.

Oh and up there I say the 400 years between LoI and CVIII fits 5 games, right? Between CVIII and SotN it's 400 years. In that time, there's: -CV3 -Curse -Adventure -Revenge -CV1 -CV2 -Harmony -Rondo -SotN ...imagine now in the period I mentioned, where freedom is wider.

*between CVIII and SotN it's 300 years, not 400. Hell if I did 400 it'd include Order of Ecclesia and Quincy. Two more lmao!

I'll have to block the word "Castlevania" on my feed, apparently.
