2 things to take into account on that.

First is obviously the philosophy of it, which has been mentioned here before. A Vampire as powerful and long lived as Drac has a different perception of the value of human life. So while I joke about the “ball kicking”, killing it would be something Dracula would do. For him, humans are no different than mice, and think how most people treat mice.

Secondly, this is just a possibility, they were making a nod to the historical figure Vlad The Impaler. Dracula in Castlevania is based off Dracula from the monster movies. In the movies, Dracula is often times said to be Vlad The Impaler in his human life. Many movies have made this connection between the Vlad and Dracula.

In real life, many stories have been written and told about Vlad The Impaler’s vicious nature. Men he killed for simply disrespecting him. So the Castlevania show could have been nodding to that.

Fun Fact: In the original “Dracula” novel written by Bram Stoker (which all Dracula works come from), Dracula was never connected to Vlad The Impaler. That was a connection made by the movies alone.
