Retro Axe

A Retro Axe (abbreviated as R. Axe) is the original form the Axe sub-weapon took in the original NES version of Castlevania. It was tossed in an arc pattern. The form of the Axe changed in later games, but the original version returned in Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. It returned again years later in the Origins downloadable content for Castlevania: Harmony of Despair as the "Retro Axe". An NFT was minted for the Castlevania 35th Anniversary NFT that showcased this weapon's effectiveness against the Phantom Bat in the original Castlevania.
==Game specific information==
===Castlevania: Harmony of Despair===
The Retro Axe can be purchased for $120,000 and can be used by Jonathan Morris and any of the Belmonts. Instead of getting larger and stronger when it leveled up like the standard Axe sub-weapon in this game does, as the Retro Axe it levels up, more axes are thrown simultaneously, up to three. This is possibly in homage to the Double and Triple Shot power up in the original Castlevania. Soma Cruz can utilize the same weapon by obtaining R. Axe-Man souls, which can level up in the same manner by obtaining more souls.
