~ Time Reaper |
Background
The Time Reaper in Castlevania Judgment serves as Galamoth’s equivalent to Death, originating from ten thousand years in the future. In the Kid Dracula series, Galamoth has a reaper named Shinigami-san (translated as "Mr. God of Death" in Japan), a title also used for Death. Meaning that Time Reaper and Shinigami-san are the same entity.
In the European Kid Dracula Game Boy manual, Shinigami-san is called "Witchi Wench" due to his long eyelashes, giving him an effeminate look. He first appears as a common enemy in the original Famicom version but later reappears as a boss in the Game Boy version. He seems to be separate from Death, as he serves Galamoth while Death is aligned with Kid Dracula.
In Castlevania Judgment, Galamoth sends the Time Reaper ten thousand years into the past to erase Dracula by eliminating the era in which he resides. The Time Reaper serves as the game's final boss and is a recolored version of Death from Castlevania: Curse of Darkness.

Powers and Techniques
Equipment
Nothing notable.
Notable Techniques
"Fall! DIE!!"
The Time Reaper swings his scythe up to two times, referencing Death's weapon. This attack can be blocked. In Brutal Mode, during his second health bar, a symbol appears on the ground while he swings, immobilizing the player if they’re caught.
"How CLEVER!!"
The Time Reaper summons several dark orbs that appear at random locations.
"Beg for mercy!"
Summons three homing skulls that can be blocked. When he reaches his final health bar (or second bar in Brutal Mode), he increases this to five skulls. In Brutal Mode, he also summons three skulls while performing his beam attack on the last health bar.
"Ashes to ashes..."
Moving his hands side to side, the Reaper summons flame pillars in groups of three. These can be blocked but are challenging to dodge.
Energy Blast
The Time Reaper gathers energy by holding his hands together, releasing a large energy blast after a few seconds.
"It's futile."
("How CLEVER!" on repeat use) The Reaper releases a blue shockwave that knocks the player across the room, dealing no damage. This surprise attack typically occurs before a phase change.
"Ha ha, HA ha!!"
A symbol appears on the ground, and chain hands immobilize the player shortly after. While this deals no damage, the Reaper often uses it on his second or third (final) health bar, typically just before a scythe swipe. In Brutal Mode, on his second health bar, he may use this symbol mid-swing, a likely reference to Death’s chain hand attack from Portrait of Ruin.
"Nowhere to run!!"
The Time Reaper fires a sweeping, fiery beam across the arena. This unblockable beam requires careful dodging or jumping. On his last health bar (second-to-last in Brutal Mode), he fires two beams, increasing the difficulty.
"STAY OUT OF MY WAY!!!!"
During the final health bar in Brutal Mode, the Time Reaper accelerates his beam attacks and summons three homing skulls mid-attack. His beam becomes a one-hit kill, and he repeats the move continuously. This phase provides only a brief opportunity to counter during his prolonged charge-up.
Other
Standard Tactics: Time Reaper is in a state where he's unreachable without bringing the souls of all those he imprisoned together[90], where the door will only allow a single being to enter[91]. When fighting him, he will utilize various different dark attacks, along with homing skulls and shooting out a massive beam.
Weaknesses
- Creature of the Night Weaknesses: Creatures of the night become weaker when exposed to the morning sun[92]. Garlic significantly weakens creatures of the night[93], and causes demons to die if its placed on the ground[94]. If a vital soul is defeated, the grimoire will revert back to its original content[95].
- Unique Weaknesses: Nothing notable.
Note
- Contrary to popular belief, holy attacks and the whips in Castlevania can affect and harm people that aren't apart of the creatures of the night. Leon's Doppelganger can use holy water and holy attacks against him in this fight along with the alchemy whip despite Leon being a pure and noble warrior[96]. Simon's Doppelganger can harm him with the vampire killer, despite Simon being a noble hero.
Trivia
- The Time Reaper, aside from obviously being based on the Grim Reaper/Death, may have also been a reference to Father Time, who also wields a scythe.
- His appearance is even noted by Death to look like him[97].
- As he is a servant of Galamoth and comes from 10,000 years in the future, it is clear that the Death fought in the Kid Dracula titles is actually him.
