Unlike the other Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow run, this plays as Julius who is only playable after beating the game. Julius' abilities are much greater than those the other Castlevania heroes have.

Watch Julius show off his skills and beat Graham in the fastest inhuman time yet!

Note: this movie starts where the previous movie by Atma left off. We do not usually accept movies beginning from a save. Please read our rules to see our reasons.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, beaten in less than half an hour from a new game without taking damage from anything.

The author skips getting the Undine soul and a decently-sized portion of the castle by using an edge-of-ledge oversight in the game's programming to gain a little extra height.

There is quite a lot of luck manipulation in this movie, but some familiarity with the game is required to notice it.
