Eu não pretendo esse post como ragebait. Eu só preciso gritar em algum lugar.
Eu fico fudido da cabeça com como o jovem na internet consegue a façanha de segurar as pérolas no pescoço de forma mais performática que uma freira católica.

Yeah, that's one of the buddhist details I was getting at :)

On Dawn they tried to do that by replicating the castle. The entire castle is undergoing a transformation into a new Demon Castle. A new Dark Lord would be able to do that just fine by recreating the same method!

Dracula's soul was severed from chaos, and chaos continues to exist as Dracula's Castle trapped inside the eclipse.
It's not really hanging around anywhere at this point :P

perhaps you are right :P
The Vampire Killer DID get used to separate Dracula's soul from chaos. This is one of the steps that Julius performed differently from his ancestors to fully destroy Dracula.
Later its power fades away when the threat of the Demon King ressurgence vanishes.

I skipped the whole buddhist symbolism this game is drawing upon, because this is kind of a crappy thread I should have thought out better instead of posting in stream of consciousness lol
But that's the gist of chaos.

When Soma finally defeats Chaos, he's in fact defeating this "evil intent" that originally made Dracula evil.
Soma is in fact the person who truly defeats the "Demon King Dracula" being. Because only Dracula, now as a human, could put an end to the thing he started.

During the events of Aria, Dracula's evil intent attempts to reconnect with Dracula's soul, and erase Soma's own spirit. This is the "evil spirit inside Soma" that Julius is feeling.
If the evil spirit wins, Dracula is reborn.

Then, in 1999, Julius Belmont manages to separate Dracula's soul from chaos using the Vampire Killer, which is then sealed into the eclipse along with Dracula's castle.
This successfully breaks Dracula's resurrection cycle and allows him to reincarnate for real, as a human.

With chaos as part of Dracula's soul, the "evil intent of Dracula" is born. Human evil transfused directly into Dracula's veins, fueling him with great powers but also irredeemable hate.
This is why Dracula stays evil even after apparently repenting on SotN.

Chaos, then, becomes one with Dracula's soul.
So if you're putting it all together, yes, that's what I mean: Dracula, his castle and chaos, are at one very long point, one same thing. This is why the resurrection of the castle coincides with Dracula's resurrection.

How chaos came into being is a mystery. What is known is that Dracula used the Crimson Stone to become a vampire, but this stone later SOMEHOW is part of his transformation into the "Demon King" being, which depends on the existence of chaos.
This part of the story is not revealed in detail.

Shutaro Iida has also mentioned how chaos is designed after the "Akashic Record". The Akashic Record is a metaphysical idea of a record of all past and future events.
In the context of Castlevania, this thing has recorded all of Dracula's memories. They used this on Grimoire of Souls.

Now here something chaos IN FACT also is: The cyclical rebirth of Dracula embodied.
This thing grants Dracula the power of the Demon King, but poisoned his soul and trapped it into the cycle of resurrection.
If you played Aria, did you notice that it animates like a wheel?

Oh and chaos also isn't "the primordial chaos" or something inspired on Greek myth, which I've seen repeated ad nauseum in the CV community.
It's quite just "the evil of humans, gathered in one place". The chaos at the center of the castle is a power core made of pure human evil.

So yeah there's a bit of a separation between chaos and Chaos. They are related elements, but not exactly the same element.

What confuses the concept:
-The specific chaos boss Soma defeats at the end of Aria isn't actually chaos, the castle's power core. It's the chaos within himself, the evil intent of Dracula
-The "Chaotic Realm" is mistranslated. The level name is "Chaos" and this is not "a place where Chaos lives"
-The specific chaos boss Soma defeats at the end of Aria isn't actually chaos, the castle's power core. It's the chaos within himself, the evil intent of Dracula

Cutting straight to the chase, chaos is:
-The core of Dracula's Castle. The actual source from where it manifests. The castle and chaos are one and the same
-The source of Dracula's powers
-The birthplace of several demons such as Death
-The amassing of humanity's negative thoughts and feelings
