    In related news, the Netflix Castlevania series has it's final season with the current cast on Thursday, Helltaker released a new free DLC today on Steam, and Killing Slimes for 300 Years is an anime currently airing on Crunchyroll.

    If we're using Beelzebub as a term for the Devil as an entity, then I think my other answer is fairly obvious

    If we're using his name to mean a specific devil, then probably his Sandman iteration

    If we're considering Beelzebub as a corrupted form of Ba'al Zebub and therefore synonymous with Ba'al, then I'm fond of Ba'al Hammon, personally

    While I was aware of the name, the first time encountering them as a character was in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

    Which I now realize was just about 25 years ago. Fuck.

    Helltaker's version left the biggest impression, though.

    I actually haven't seen the baby Beelzebub anime, but he popped up when I was trying to google and see what versions of Beelzebub I missed.

    I forgot the Grandblue one too even though I actually have that fighting game.

    The anime is apparently a rather poor adaptation of the manga, and shifts the age target down by about 5-7 years. From what I've heard, I wouldn't recommend it.

    Beelzebub the manga is great, and is hilarious, but is an unfortunate example of a series that axed and has a rushed-as-hell ending.

    Out of all of those given the Helltaker ones definitely seem the most inspired and I can't be arsed to try and think of all the visual depictions of beezlebub.

    Classy fly is different though, gotta say.

    I thought I'd look up "Beezle Bub" as it'd be funny if there was a baby devil in the running. But I got a anime about a baby son of Satan who spends all his time with his willy showing so I won't post that.

    That's not Metatron, that's just a normal human interested in purchasing pornography.

    (Actually he's Gabriel)

    I wish I had remembered the versions from Sandman, Granblue, and Good Omens.

    He's in the poll.

    Beelzebub from the SMT/Persona series isn't particularly exciting from a design standpoint, but as a party member in Nocturne he fucking rules so I'm gonna go with that

  • LarsLars Registered User regular
    Castlevania, Helltaker, Killing Slimes for 300 Years, Sandman, and Good Omens all do something with the Lord of Flies bit, most of the others seem to just go with being a demon or demon-like.
