it's worth noting that alucard wants to be killed by a worthy human & Anderson was a prime candidate but when he used that nail on himself he became a monster, that's why alucard was saying no when he did it
The story loosely goes that Vlad the Impailer (Alucard) was given to the Ottomans (Turks) by his father to not invade Wallacia. During this peirod he was constantly raped and extremely mistreated. This is the "10 years of rape" Alucard refers too when talking to God. Also if you remember in a past episode Alucard tells Walter his three favorite things to kill were Nazis, Turks and number one was his father, now you can see why. Another great reaction, hope you're both staying safe in these crazy times. One love!
Should also be noted that, though he was a christian, he was prosecuted by the church and ultimately killed as a heretic so they could get his territory. Most of the most gory stories about Vlad the Impaler (Vlad Tepes III) like him drinking blood or making others eat the remains of his father were written by his enemies but in reality he brought certain stability to the region (although,even after taking the throne from his father, he had to fight his relatives who were constantly trying to take power away from him through his life, in fact, I think one of his relatives with ambitions to become pope was what led to his death if I remember right). Yes he did impale people, that is true, but he was waging psychological warfare. This is not justifying it but explaining his reasoning. He ruled a tiny region which 2 world powers wanted because it granted them land access to each other making them able to mobilize armies without boats, he couldn't just attack nor use regular defense tactics against those odds. He didn't impale his countrymen left and right, he impaled soldiers from invading armies(mainly the Ottomans) so future invaders would lose the will to fight, or at least some morale, before actually having to engage them. Anyway, if you go to Romania he is held as a hero. Just wanted to add to your comment, the guy had a crazy life and it's kinda sad how villanized he's become.
Every thing that Vlad did, he learned from Christians. But when he started becoming too powerful as a ruler, they sought to dethrone him and eliminate him.
@@neowelchsevilism Which REALLY sucks because despite the Muslims who tried to force him to convert to Islam, his brother DID convert, Vlad stayed true to Christianity. The betrayal is brutal. Like the betrayal of the Templar Order or even Joan of Arc.
@@ragnar97 He was not killed by the church in reality though. He died during an Ottoman ambush. There also isn't any actual proof of him being raped by the Turks.
The Way Restriction Level Zero Works is that it, as stated, purges Alucard of everyone and thing he has ever eaten to act as an undead army, which is why the Dandy Man and Rip Van Winkle were there, as he ate them both, it also removes all limits on his power. On the Downside, using it removes his near immortality due to not having any souls left inside him to die in his place, though he is FAR more durable because of it.
As a side note, Alucard cannot release Level Zero without direct order from the acting head of the Hellsing Organization; the most he is allowed to do on his own will is releasing restraint Level One, which allows him to bring out his _animal_ familiars, like the Baskervilles, his swarms of bats or his centipedes. When he gets to go full level Zero we get to see the literal entirety of everything he has ever killed
@@donflamingo5685 Three (allows him to kill vampires with his bare hands with the gloves, typically through stabbing then like a stake) Two, which we never see, One, and then Zero. You can see One employed again the Valentine brother he fights way back.
Note: this all I'll say is from the perspective of THE SHOW, and not actual history; though the story is pretty much the same, some details are changed. Vlad the Impaler was sold as a political prisoner to the Ottoman Turks when he was a child; basically his father gave him to the Turks to keep as proof that he wouldn't rebel against them so they would allow him to keep his lands. During captivity he was treated horribly because he didn't want to betray his God and didn't want to convert to Islam; he was beaten, starved, tortured and raped; eventually he was freed when suspicions no longer existed about his father's loyalty. His next step was pretty obvious: murdered his father, took the position of leader of Walachia and started an all out war against the Turks, paying back what he had suffered _manifold_ , destroying cities and executing them by the thousands. Eventually his Holy War got so bloody that his own faith, the Christians, betrayed him and executed him, denouncing him as an agent of the devil. This was so horribly unfair in his eyes that he accepted to sell his soul to the Devil in his last moments, becoming a vampire and turning into the monster we know and love. That's why he is so angry at God in here. Also, I suppose the Abridged implies that Alucard acts like a psychopath because he has lived so long and has so many literal voices inside of his head of all the people he has eaten. When he pushes everything out and reverts back to the soul of the original Vlad, instead, he becomes a well spoke, calm and respectable noble man.
A side note. The reference of Alucard saying it felt like years was a reference to this episode taking so long to come out. Up until then, Takahata101 had been releasing episodes on or around Halloween on his own channel, then TFS took over and wrapped it up quick. Walter's motives gets revealed in the next episode, but yes, he's the next foe up to bat. And it's a ride and a half too. And as for Alucard's beef with God, is back when he was Vlad Teppesch, he was abandoned after years of abuse and fighting in his name, only to have Satan heed his call for aid. So from his viewpoint, the almighty left him out to fry, while the bad guy showed up to lend a helping hand. That's basically it. Alucard is Dracula, he's just a "modernized" version to better relate to the current world. But the drastic seperation of the 2 is a TFS creation. In the original, I don't think it was anywhere near this drastic between the 2.
"Anderson! It's been only two days but it feels like _years."_ This was a jab at the fans. These episodes came out several years apart, which meant that for those of us who watched these as they were released, we literally had to wait like 4 years to see Alucard again.
its better explored in the actual show and manga but Alucard truly believes that he should only be killed by a human, and that no monster can do it, he saw Anderson as the one to be able to finally kill him but when Anderson made himself a monster with the Nail of Saint Helena Alucard was truly pissed
Anderson was willing to become a monster for the sake of his faith. When he saw Anderson becoming a monster because of his faith, all of his repressed inner turmoil caused him to cry for Anderson.
It's the fuller alliteration of the Arabic version, plus the initial vowels, plus there only being two words. That's a big part of what makes it sound better. The word "is" breaks the flow much more than the "-hu" syllable.
dude, the andersen-alucard thing was super awesome. like alucard was super pissed because he could only be killed by a man. and when andersen became that vine monster he became a monster instead of a man.
Especially considering how, Anderson REALLY DID stand a pretty good chance of beating Alucard. Out of EVERYONE ELSE, he came the closest to destroying him once and for all.
The fight between Anderson's and Alucard at the end is much more complex then they could explain in an abridged version but what happens near the end is really cool so I thought I'd explain to the best of my ability. Dracula knows he is monster. He considers himself to be scum and worthless for he was to weak to accept his humanity; to him this means he must be killed by human being. When Anderson takes out the nail he is committing the same sin by forsaking his humanity in order to gain the strength to defeat Alucard which is why Alucard is angry when Anderson stabs the nail into his heart. In the original there is no conversation between him and God. He actually begins to lose the fight and Seras steps in and trys to help him which reminds him of his own will to live or something I'm unsure on that part. Also fun tid bit. He kills most vampires by ripping their heart out in the original it's not a new thing to him.
I highly recommend watching the actual episode for this. It's difficult to write in a simple youtube comment how the episode and manga does at explaining in this episode, how Alucard truly feels about himself, his purpose, and why he does what he does. Essentially, Anderson and Alucard want the exact same thing; They both seek to destroy monsters and protect humans. Yet they are on opposing sides. Alucard respects humans because they are finite and weak yet have the will to live on. In the anime Alucard makes a comment basically saying that he became a monster because he was so weak he could not bare the weight of a human life. When Anderson gave up that humanity to fight him, Alucard took the gloves off. Fun Fact: The ebony gun that Alucard wields in his left hand is called the Jackel. It was the new gun he got during the second episode. Walter gave it to him specifically to deal with Anderson. When Alucard shot Anderson's arm with it, he couldn't regenerate it, hence why he carried it with his teeth. Cheers!
I get the impression that they're trying to imply that Alucard and Dracula are different persona, but not different personalities. Remember how Alucard was a chick in the forties? I'd wager he just changes himself up every couple decades to avoid getting bored.
Told you the last few episodes are gonna be the good part. I especially enjoyed the seamless transition from "Get Ready to Die" to "Party, Party, Party" as Alucard's restraint loss music theme. Andrew W. K. can be proud of how they used his music. Anyway... Onto the important things. Warning. It will be a long rant on details and meanings. Anderson and Alucard understood each other like no other from the very beginning. Remember all the jokes they did almost the same? Like the "Bayonets/Eyes for days." deal or the "I've never actually caught a leprechaun. Do you think if I stab it with my knife/shoot it with my gun it'll spit out lucky charms?" and "Well, now that that's all over, how about we go back to my place for a bowl of my favorite cereal? Frankenberry/Count Chocula." from the Ireland mission? Even Integra said "So... You disobey your master's orders whenever you feel like it? This is so crazy to see from the outside.". They both had regeneration powers, even when Anderson was an "enhanced human", and not the beast one could call "The Incarnation of the Crown of Thorns of Christ the Savior". They were two peas in a messed up, blood filled, disgusting pod. Uniquely able to understand the other one. Also, as some others pointed out and I will further explain by giving more detail, Alucard was to be killed by a man. He fought beasts and monsters his entire life and afterlife. The enemy to take him down had to have that one component that he lost. As Alucard himself said to Seras Victoria in the last episode right before she ate Pip(with his permission, if I may add)... She had what he lost hundreds of years ago. The most powerful source of motivation of all time. Something that will make you able to flip cars over with your bare hands. The will to live. It is a power like no other. Through an insane adrenalin boost, you may break your bones and tear your muscles, but the car ends up flipped. Seen done by survivors of car accidents and mothers who saw the car run over their child. Two cases when that boost manifests the strongest. The will to survive and the will to save a loved one. Anderson, having become a beast, lost his soul and his ability to have an afterlife. He became a husk. A powerful one, but an empty husk none the less. He could not win against Alucard in that form. He became what Alie has been training to kill for hundreds of years. A monster. Another thing is, Dracula became a monster to rid the world of a monster wreaking havoc on humanity. He chose to be a monster to save the world. He swore he would never let another beast like him live. Now... What did Anderson do, if not the same exact thing? Alucard ripping his heart out and stopping him from losing himself to the power and temptation that being a monster provides was actually a merciful act of goodness. Alucard stopped Anderson from losing what remained of his humanity. Because he knew all too well where the path Anderson just got on leads.
What Anderson uses is the Nail of Helena, one of the nails that was used to crucify Jesus Christ to the cross. It essentially turns him into a 'monster of God'.
5:06 that moment when you realize the intros haven't had music for the past two episodes because Party Party Party is specifically Alucard's theme song.
7:49 Nah, those were just all the people he'd consume through his lifetime. Anyone he drinks he can use as a puppet soldier to fight for him, and he's drank a lot lol.
Could you guys check out the alexander anderson song? theres a full version of the end credit version and it is really worth a watch/listen. *Also this is prob my fav episode of the abridged series*
Anderson was my favorite character in the series, this episode was simultaneously my favorite and least favorite in the show. Although, Anderson's death was far more beautiful and amazing in the manga. Trust me. Overall, this is probably my favorite episode.
Technically Dracula is the full personality. Alucard is just one part of Dracula, whenever they talk about releasing restraint levels basically that means Alucard is removing those barriers that prevent his full personality as Dracula from emerging. At least according to how Team Fourstar wrote him.
Just for context, the "feels like YEARS" line isn't just the normal abridgers schedule joke, the series went on hiatus for a number of years, so this episode of the anime was literally years after the last that Alucard was in. It's kind of amazing that the series ever got completed, but we're all glad it did.
This is honestly my favorite episode out of all ten in the Hellsing ultimate ova . However while funny, it's around here in the TFS version that most of important plot points , motivations and how certain things are in the show are supplanted or subverted by TFS for comedy's sake, which I don't fault them for but it really is a shame that they don't go more along the same lines as the Hellsing ultimate does , in particular at the beginning in the original Integra tells alucard to kill the Nazi's with one gun and the crusaders with the other, and that she only wants to know her enemies by the stains of red on their chests , and alucard's full chant for level zero is fantastic , as references a famous alchemy text that relates occultism and alchemy and such . But the most important thing that gets ignored is this line after releasing level zero; "Blood is the currency of the soul, the vehicle of life. Blood is the medium by which life can be transfered. To drink blood is take the essence of a soul into oneself." - Sir Integra Hellsing . Its basically the foundation for the entire show and how alucard's (and vampirism in the Hellsing universe) powers work. Basically alucard's the most powerful and unstoppable supernatural force in their universe, as long as even one person's soul who he's drank from exist within him, he's unkillable as he's got millions of souls inside, but after he unleashes his army of souls in Lvl . 0 he is vulnerable, essentially it's more appropriate to think of alucard not as a person, but as fortress of sorts given human form , Anderson's and other characters refer to him as such by this episode. That phrase by the way also has implications for Seras , because being offered blood instead of taking it by force changes the nature of the exchange between the taker of blood and the donor .
I heard it from Kouta Hirano himself, at a panel during a local anime convention about 15 years ago, that the harsh treatment of London is due to a bad experience at an unnamed hotel during one of his visits.
That scene when Alucard “goes on a walk” is so great cause you have the nazis and the Catholic Church ready to face off against each other and he just jumps in the middle and everyone just starts unloading on him
I saw "Ready To Die" (the song when Alucard came in on the boat, it's by a guy named Andrew W.K.) live last year at the Warped Tour and this just reminded me of that, the music they picked is so perfect.
Fun fact: Anderson's backstory is pretty much sourced from a hentai the Hellsing creator published before where the lead looked like him and became a priest. Most of Hellsing's characters were strongly inspired by the mangaka's previous hentai works, aesthetically and occasionally backstory-wise.
Much of the music in this episode, the piano and string pieces, were from another anime, The Big O. The Big O was a giant robot anime, and the titular Mecha was known as a Megadeus, piloted by its Dominus, Roger 'Negotiator' Smith. It was a true Super Robot; big, heavy, and slow as mud in winter, but it packed a wicked right hook, owing to the piston built into the elbow. Throughout the series, it made extensive use of piano pieces and orchestral strings to really give scenes some power and weight. All in all, it's an anime I would happily recommend. It's only two seasons, but for giant robot anime, it's one of the all time greats, having a great dub, fantastic animation, and deep characters, and the occasional goofball baddies, or badass one eyed butler awesomeness. It'll kind of gets weird towards the end, but the ride getting there is worth the time and emotional investment. Also, did anyone else notice Alucard's tone when he said "Releasing restraint, level... *sigh* Zero"? He sounded kind of reluctant, sad even.
Y’all are so mature with your analysis of what you watch. A lot of people can’t handle this kind of character exploration especially with the themes and topics covered in this series. But it shows real writing talent on Team Four Star’s part to stay true to characters even when it might seem to edgy by most standards.
I think it’s interesting to note that when Anderson preps his bayonet blades and Alucard preps his guns, they respectively mimic the Christian (upright) and satanic (downward) crosses
For the most part... Alucard is a branch of Vlad (Dracula) Releasing restraint level 0 brings the barriers down and allows Dracula out. And there are distinct differences between the two. Dracula is a polite gentleman. Where Alucard is (I've seen him described as) the comments section on any Social Media
The Nail of Helena turned Anderson into one of God's Monsters. And as Alucard will only allow himself to be defeated by a human, that was the moment Anderson lost the fight.
What I love about this ep is that this is a literal war going on in the streets, and then Alucard turns up and - without an order being given - both armies immediately turn every single weapon on him. They all know what he is, and they don't even need to suggest cooperating to try to stop him. It's so obviously their only chance to live, is to unite two armies in desperation. He's such an unrelenting nightmare.
When he starts releasing Level Zero the manga talks about how every person present, Nazis and Crusaders alike, instantly knew that a monster too big and horrible to be described was about to get lose, and they all desperately tried to kill him before it could happen. Love it so much, they probably knew it wouldn't work but it was just the _biggest_ fight or flight response they ever felt in their lives.
I think the personality change is the idea that Dracula is who Alucard was 500 years ago- original person. Alucard now is the cumulation of all his experiances. He picked up an attitude on the way
Alucard became a monster to kill other monsters. He hates monsters, so he will only allow a human he considers worthy to kill him. He was hoping Alexander Anderson would prove to be that human, but then he used the nail and turned himself into a monster.
Alucard's story is the only thing I can think of that is better in the original. I won't talk about how it started, but he will only allow himself to be killed by a human. I think it happened twice before. That's why he was calling Anderson worthy, and he tried to stop him from using the nail. There wasn't a conversation with God originally, it was him getting angry and refusing to die to a monster. Alucard and Dracula are like separate personalities, he became Alucard to keep up with changing times. He had been doing that for hundreds of years. This might be my favorite episode in this series. Imagine having to wait a year after that ending.
Alucard was once Dracula during the time when Integras ancestor was alive Abraham Van Helsing who defeated Dracula back in the day. From there it somehow led to Dracula (Alucard) being in servitude to the Helsing family.
The nail Anderson was one of the nails used during Christ's crucifixion, so it's a magical object to the Vatican. When he stabbed himself with the nail, he became a "monster of God", a monster in order to fight against Alucard. That upset Alucard because he will only accept defeat from a human's hands, not a monsters. So in Alucard's perspective, Anderson gave up any rights to kill him when he became a monster...
watch the full song. it's based on a separate manga, and isn't quite cannon, but it is a character that anderson was obviously based on, and they use it as his origin story(could actually be cannon in the authors mind even) gives a great view into the start of anderson.
Not sure if you caught it. But when Sir Integra told Anderson to write a protest and nailing it to the door, it's a call back to the literal formation of Protestantism separation from the catholic church and the act of Martin Luther nailing his protest paper on the church door.
Walter becomes a vampire through the testing but it will be a surprise in the end for him best part is the police girl i wouldnt wait for another day i would watch it this afternoon.
So, some context for the Alucard vs Anderson fight. See, Alucard wants to be killed, but he wants a human to do it, and further he wants a human to beat him in a fair fight (or as close as that's ever going to get). However, Anderson resorted to divine intervention making him not exactly a normal human anymore, robbing Alucard of the fight and death he wants. Additionally, Alucard mentions while he's speaking with Satan that he won't allow another monster like him to exist. That's why he fights monsters for Hellsing (among other reasons).
Alucard wasn't turning them into ghouls. Those were all the souls he absorbed over his lifetime (i.e. all the people he drained dry). This si why he couldn't be killed, he had literally millions of lives inside him, and every time he's "killed" one of the lives inside him dies instead of him. When he releases Level Zero, he unleashes all the souls he devoured and has them fight for him as his familiars. However, this leaves him with only his own life, so he can be killed in this state.
Restraint Level 0 unleashes the souls o every person and creature Alucard has ever eaten. They are his familiars, spirits he can summon to aid him in battle, this includes his demon dog that he used to eat Luke Valentine in episode 2. But while this is a great aid in a large battle like this where he and his allies are outnumbered to the point where even he would have trouble, it also makes it easier to kill him. The reason he's near immortal is because he has so many souls in him (you sorta need to kill him once for every soul or something like that) but without them you can kill him by stabbing him through the heart or cutting off his head. He is still hard to kill though, he can quickly regrow lost limbs and take huge amount of damage and still has most of his other vamperic powers. Also Alucard feels God turned his back on him while he was Vlad the Impailer (the man who turned into Dracula). He had suffered for years at the hands of the Ottomans while still a child, being put through brutal training and even getting raped on a daily basis by his captors. He then spent years fighting the Turks, leading his armies into battle with them and keeping them from advancing further into Europe and doing all of this in the name of God. Only to be defeated, turtured, starved and then killed without God ever stepping in to save him. Only the Devil heard his prayers and offered him to become a vampire to get his revenge on the men who hurt him
The original "Level Zero release" is something you NEED to see. You can find it on youtube in the original Japanese version (as the dub has been copyright blasted)
To be correct. He is now Vlad Tepis Dracula(Drac-cool-la), King of Walachia, Impaler(not the first to do it) of the cruel Ottoman/Turks, and now... servant of Hellsing. Level Zero, the effect where all the souls he has consume take physical form, while restrained, killing him would only result in one soul being destroyed, but now... he is fully free, main host free to the world.
Thanks for the reaction, I love this abridge, it does so many things so well. The only thing I don't really like though is the whole inserting the devil thing, as I think that detracts a bit from the idea that Dracula is humanities sin, a monster borne of humanity, rather than anything else.
I haven't watched the original (though I should, it's on my to watch list) but as far as I know in the original Alucard was kinda suicidal, in a way. Like he didn't want to live anymore but also wanted that it would be a worthy human that kills him. That's why he wasn't killed by any of Milleniums goons, because they weren't human. He didn't want them to be the one to end him. Anderson was the only one he considered worthy of taking his life. That's why, even in the abridged, he gets angry when Anderson is about to stab himself with the nail. Because he knew Anderson wouldn't be human anymore, and thus, not worthy by the standards he had himself made for the one who bests him.
Remember when our card said I believe I was a chick in the 40s so I guess that answers your question about his personalities but he is still mainly Dracula
Not quite. Maybe in the Abridged version. But in the official release, Alucard Dracula doesn't care about physical form. So... He pretty much does whatever and becomes whoever. But Alucard, the tall, pale, lanky man in red is his constant
Because of the subtitles these youtubers caught on it being Walther stumping on Anderson's remains. most who haven't seen the show don't recognize him.
That background music you have.. First I thought someone's car alarm going off. Then I thought it was someone playing ELO - Mr Blue Sky on a car radio. Then realized when I paused the video it was your background music. I feel derp.
nah nah~ as integra put it: Alucard wasn't turning people into a army, he had an army. living for god knows how long (me things a good 500 years or so) made him see many wars, battles and death AKA free meals. so, when he feels the need to go all, he unleashes everything he had eaten. heh~ i love it's called his "life hack" in this abridged series.
Well, there that could be debated. It's probably like millions of personalities. The lives he has consumed are not just his "minions", he is them. Alucard/Dracula are just holding the others back but they can call upon their memories and appearance on any moment and essentially become them. So, yeah, he doesn't have 2 personalities, he has over 2 million.
Not so sure about that. Perhaps, it is just an abridged thing (which works flawlessly) But in the official release, after getting the bayonet through the head... Alucard speaks to Vlad. Kind of talking down on him.
To basically sum up Alucard and Anderson, Alucard was once a man of God who lost everything, and on the day of his execution turned his back on God and drank human blood, turning into a Vampire. While he then went on to commit atrocities he ultimately came to regret what he had done and for being so weak as become a monster and blame everything on God, when it was his own actions that lead to his fall. Now he desires to find a worth human to kill him, as he sees that only a human can kill a monster, for then the monster is dead but if a monster kills a monster then all you have is a new monster in its place. So when Anderson pulls out the nail, he begs him to keep his humanity and not turn into a monster like himself. Ultimately Anderson ignores this and turns into "One of Gods Monsters". Alucard is devastated by this, but reaffirms his desire to never allow another monster like himself to exist, fights Anderson, removing the nail and killing him. Both come to understand one another and Alucard says farewell to his fallen rival. Great both in the Abridged version and the Official (which I cannot recommend enough to people its sooooo good!) Love seeing how much yah love the series and love the reaction!
“So Anderson is dead :(“ I fucking feel you, my girl, that shit hurt me a little If you ever get the chance, y’all should react to A Slap on Titan by tomandre! It’s a fun, dangerous parody to Attack on Titan I know y’all would enjoy♥️♥️♥️
Actually, it isn't 'racist' at all. There's five races/subspecies of humanity, and 'arab' ISN'T one of them. Thus, you literally CANNOT be 'racist' towards Arab people, because they aren't a 'race'.
Since alucard is Dracula backwards, so are their personalities, Dracula is honorable and kind, a close range fighter as well which is why he fights with swords. Alucard on the other hand is the polar opposite, rude, crude and all the like, alucard likes long range combat hence he fights with guns and let others (the souls he consumed) do it for him. However one thing is for sure that both personalities recognize Integra as their master. So they are like both sides of the same coin.
No, he's always Dracula. Restraint level 0 just allows him to use all of his power. Yeah, the personality thing you said might be right. Enjoyed the reactions so far. There's series like "kids react," "elders react," etc., that are so scripted and prepared- not real reactions. Oh- there's Japanese reaction videos where they put high resolution monitors in windows to make it look like a meteor is coming down, or in the floors of elevators to make it look like the floor is disappearing- with paid/fake reaction actors. Your reactions feel honest. Reminds me of anime club in college when we'd get visitors from other clubs and argue about things. If you want a happy little pick-me-up, try reacting to Grave Of The Fireflies... Gooble gobble.
@@CaptainCFalcon I'm basing this on the Japanese language, English subtitled, non-abridged version. I speak and understand a very little bit of Japanese, not enough to be useful here.
@@smurfydude77 alright, well then I don't believe you have any real right to say that any of the Japanese reactions you've seen are fake &/or "paid." The Japanese have a real... Interesting set of ways people react to things. Visual effects, VR models, etc. I once saw a Japanese speaking Velociraptor react to Hero's reveal trailer for Smash. It seemed more calm & collected about their excitement then the 47 other _human_ Japanese reactors I watched as well. They just like to throw in a little... *_spice_* is all.
@@CaptainCFalcon The meteor video and elevator floor would be obviously fake to the people in the video because as they move they would see the images not move, so they would immediately know they were looking at an artificial image.
It's simple. Most of British people, for sure in London, are Protestant. So now Maxwell is being a megalomaniac, he's eradicating the protestant "headquarters" at the time. Probably hopes amid the chaos that Alucard & Major's troops kill each other & conquer the rest of London in one swoop.
No I say every politician Democrat and Republican is the definition of Satan Democrats are EXACTLY the same as Republicans Two sides of the same damn coin saying the same things and doing the same shit since 19 fucking 40 If every politician did what they promised to do in their campaign speeches we wouldn't have the problems we have today but look at where we are simply because of what Politicians encouraged
it's worth noting that alucard wants to be killed by a worthy human & Anderson was a prime candidate but when he used that nail on himself he became a monster, that's why alucard was saying no when he did it
And also why he respected Integra's father
@@ragnar97 yeah
In fact, in the original he almost gave up at that point and only fought back after Seras called out to him.
Not to mention as he said to Satan, he swore a monster like himself would not be allowed to exist .
A monster made in the name of God.
Yeah, it's a shame that isn't communicated well in the abridged series.
The story loosely goes that Vlad the Impailer (Alucard) was given to the Ottomans (Turks) by his father to not invade Wallacia. During this peirod he was constantly raped and extremely mistreated. This is the "10 years of rape" Alucard refers too when talking to God. Also if you remember in a past episode Alucard tells Walter his three favorite things to kill were Nazis, Turks and number one was his father, now you can see why.
Another great reaction, hope you're both staying safe in these crazy times. One love!
Should also be noted that, though he was a christian, he was prosecuted by the church and ultimately killed as a heretic so they could get his territory. Most of the most gory stories about Vlad the Impaler (Vlad Tepes III) like him drinking blood or making others eat the remains of his father were written by his enemies but in reality he brought certain stability to the region (although,even after taking the throne from his father, he had to fight his relatives who were constantly trying to take power away from him through his life, in fact, I think one of his relatives with ambitions to become pope was what led to his death if I remember right).
Yes he did impale people, that is true, but he was waging psychological warfare. This is not justifying it but explaining his reasoning. He ruled a tiny region which 2 world powers wanted because it granted them land access to each other making them able to mobilize armies without boats, he couldn't just attack nor use regular defense tactics against those odds. He didn't impale his countrymen left and right, he impaled soldiers from invading armies(mainly the Ottomans) so future invaders would lose the will to fight, or at least some morale, before actually having to engage them. Anyway, if you go to Romania he is held as a hero.
Just wanted to add to your comment, the guy had a crazy life and it's kinda sad how villanized he's become.
@@ragnar97 Not just a hero. In my best friend's church, he's Greek Orthodox, Dracula/Vlad is held as an actual saint.
Every thing that Vlad did, he learned from Christians.
But when he started becoming too powerful as a ruler, they sought to dethrone him and eliminate him.
@@neowelchsevilism Which REALLY sucks because despite the Muslims who tried to force him to convert to Islam, his brother DID convert, Vlad stayed true to Christianity. The betrayal is brutal. Like the betrayal of the Templar Order or even Joan of Arc.
@@ragnar97 He was not killed by the church in reality though. He died during an Ottoman ambush. There also isn't any actual proof of him being raped by the Turks.
The Way Restriction Level Zero Works is that it, as stated, purges Alucard of everyone and thing he has ever eaten to act as an undead army, which is why the Dandy Man and Rip Van Winkle were there, as he ate them both, it also removes all limits on his power. On the Downside, using it removes his near immortality due to not having any souls left inside him to die in his place, though he is FAR more durable because of it.
As a side note, Alucard cannot release Level Zero without direct order from the acting head of the Hellsing Organization; the most he is allowed to do on his own will is releasing restraint Level One, which allows him to bring out his _animal_ familiars, like the Baskervilles, his swarms of bats or his centipedes. When he gets to go full level Zero we get to see the literal entirety of everything he has ever killed

Note: this all I'll say is from the perspective of THE SHOW, and not actual history; though the story is pretty much the same, some details are changed.
Vlad the Impaler was sold as a political prisoner to the Ottoman Turks when he was a child; basically his father gave him to the Turks to keep as proof that he wouldn't rebel against them so they would allow him to keep his lands.
During captivity he was treated horribly because he didn't want to betray his God and didn't want to convert to Islam; he was beaten, starved, tortured and raped; eventually he was freed when suspicions no longer existed about his father's loyalty.
His next step was pretty obvious: murdered his father, took the position of leader of Walachia and started an all out war against the Turks, paying back what he had suffered _manifold_ , destroying cities and executing them by the thousands. Eventually his Holy War got so bloody that his own faith, the Christians, betrayed him and executed him, denouncing him as an agent of the devil.
This was so horribly unfair in his eyes that he accepted to sell his soul to the Devil in his last moments, becoming a vampire and turning into the monster we know and love. That's why he is so angry at God in here.
Also, I suppose the Abridged implies that Alucard acts like a psychopath because he has lived so long and has so many literal voices inside of his head of all the people he has eaten. When he pushes everything out and reverts back to the soul of the original Vlad, instead, he becomes a well spoke, calm and respectable noble man.
Great analysis and thanks for the infos.
I kinda think Vlad had a point. The Turks deserved it and his betrayal was horrid. Dracula is, in my opinion, a tragic story.
A side note. The reference of Alucard saying it felt like years was a reference to this episode taking so long to come out. Up until then, Takahata101 had been releasing episodes on or around Halloween on his own channel, then TFS took over and wrapped it up quick. Walter's motives gets revealed in the next episode, but yes, he's the next foe up to bat. And it's a ride and a half too. And as for Alucard's beef with God, is back when he was Vlad Teppesch, he was abandoned after years of abuse and fighting in his name, only to have Satan heed his call for aid. So from his viewpoint, the almighty left him out to fry, while the bad guy showed up to lend a helping hand. That's basically it. Alucard is Dracula, he's just a "modernized" version to better relate to the current world. But the drastic seperation of the 2 is a TFS creation. In the original, I don't think it was anywhere near this drastic between the 2.
"Anderson! It's been only two days but it feels like _years."_
This was a jab at the fans. These episodes came out several years apart, which meant that for those of us who watched these as they were released, we literally had to wait like 4 years to see Alucard again.
its better explored in the actual show and manga but Alucard truly believes that he should only be killed by a human, and that no monster can do it, he saw Anderson as the one to be able to finally kill him but when Anderson made himself a monster with the Nail of Saint Helena Alucard was truly pissed
He’s not wrong. Humans were able to kill him in the past.
Anderson was willing to become a monster for the sake of his faith. When he saw Anderson becoming a monster because of his faith, all of his repressed inner turmoil caused him to cry for Anderson.
I mean, in his defense, it DOES sound better in Arabic
Was literally about to post that same thought. I think most people take it as it would be better if they were the ones blowing themselves up instead.
It's the fuller alliteration of the Arabic version, plus the initial vowels, plus there only being two words. That's a big part of what makes it sound better. The word "is" breaks the flow much more than the "-hu" syllable.
Allahu Akbar
Nope not racist, stop using the term racism as an excuse everytime you two.
True.
dude, the andersen-alucard thing was super awesome. like alucard was super pissed because he could only be killed by a man. and when andersen became that vine monster he became a monster instead of a man.
Especially considering how, Anderson REALLY DID stand a pretty good chance of beating Alucard. Out of EVERYONE ELSE, he came the closest to destroying him once and for all.
"It is the sacred duty of the Iscariot Organization to punish the demon, the heretic... and *the false god."*
The fight between Anderson's and Alucard at the end is much more complex then they could explain in an abridged version but what happens near the end is really cool so I thought I'd explain to the best of my ability. Dracula knows he is monster. He considers himself to be scum and worthless for he was to weak to accept his humanity; to him this means he must be killed by human being. When Anderson takes out the nail he is committing the same sin by forsaking his humanity in order to gain the strength to defeat Alucard which is why Alucard is angry when Anderson stabs the nail into his heart. In the original there is no conversation between him and God. He actually begins to lose the fight and Seras steps in and trys to help him which reminds him of his own will to live or something I'm unsure on that part.
Also fun tid bit. He kills most vampires by ripping their heart out in the original it's not a new thing to him.
Alexander Anderson earned his respect 100 fold, he was always a real one, much respect to Anderson and Alucard equally
I feel like the Martin Luther joke at the beginning is really under appreciated lol
To aim in clarity, Dracula is the title given to what was once a man, Alucard is the amalgamation of 2 million souls ... and a statement on humanity.
I highly recommend watching the actual episode for this. It's difficult to write in a simple youtube comment how the episode and manga does at explaining in this episode, how Alucard truly feels about himself, his purpose, and why he does what he does. Essentially, Anderson and Alucard want the exact same thing; They both seek to destroy monsters and protect humans. Yet they are on opposing sides. Alucard respects humans because they are finite and weak yet have the will to live on. In the anime Alucard makes a comment basically saying that he became a monster because he was so weak he could not bare the weight of a human life. When Anderson gave up that humanity to fight him, Alucard took the gloves off. Fun Fact: The ebony gun that Alucard wields in his left hand is called the Jackel. It was the new gun he got during the second episode. Walter gave it to him specifically to deal with Anderson. When Alucard shot Anderson's arm with it, he couldn't regenerate it, hence why he carried it with his teeth. Cheers!
I get the impression that they're trying to imply that Alucard and Dracula are different persona, but not different personalities. Remember how Alucard was a chick in the forties? I'd wager he just changes himself up every couple decades to avoid getting bored.
Told you the last few episodes are gonna be the good part. I especially enjoyed the seamless transition from "Get Ready to Die" to "Party, Party, Party" as Alucard's restraint loss music theme. Andrew W. K. can be proud of how they used his music. Anyway... Onto the important things. Warning. It will be a long rant on details and meanings.
Anderson and Alucard understood each other like no other from the very beginning. Remember all the jokes they did almost the same? Like the "Bayonets/Eyes for days." deal or the "I've never actually caught a leprechaun. Do you think if I stab it with my knife/shoot it with my gun it'll spit out lucky charms?" and "Well, now that that's all over, how about we go back to my place for a bowl of my favorite cereal? Frankenberry/Count Chocula." from the Ireland mission? Even Integra said "So... You disobey your master's orders whenever you feel like it? This is so crazy to see from the outside.". They both had regeneration powers, even when Anderson was an "enhanced human", and not the beast one could call "The Incarnation of the Crown of Thorns of Christ the Savior". They were two peas in a messed up, blood filled, disgusting pod. Uniquely able to understand the other one.
Also, as some others pointed out and I will further explain by giving more detail, Alucard was to be killed by a man. He fought beasts and monsters his entire life and afterlife. The enemy to take him down had to have that one component that he lost. As Alucard himself said to Seras Victoria in the last episode right before she ate Pip(with his permission, if I may add)... She had what he lost hundreds of years ago. The most powerful source of motivation of all time. Something that will make you able to flip cars over with your bare hands. The will to live. It is a power like no other. Through an insane adrenalin boost, you may break your bones and tear your muscles, but the car ends up flipped. Seen done by survivors of car accidents and mothers who saw the car run over their child. Two cases when that boost manifests the strongest. The will to survive and the will to save a loved one. Anderson, having become a beast, lost his soul and his ability to have an afterlife. He became a husk. A powerful one, but an empty husk none the less. He could not win against Alucard in that form. He became what Alie has been training to kill for hundreds of years. A monster.
Another thing is, Dracula became a monster to rid the world of a monster wreaking havoc on humanity. He chose to be a monster to save the world. He swore he would never let another beast like him live. Now... What did Anderson do, if not the same exact thing? Alucard ripping his heart out and stopping him from losing himself to the power and temptation that being a monster provides was actually a merciful act of goodness. Alucard stopped Anderson from losing what remained of his humanity. Because he knew all too well where the path Anderson just got on leads.
What Anderson uses is the Nail of Helena, one of the nails that was used to crucify Jesus Christ to the cross. It essentially turns him into a 'monster of God'.
If you've watched sword art online(aaaand even if you haven't) give sao abridged a shot
yeah please after you finish Hellsing please do SAO Abridge or Danmachi Abridge both are so funny
Yes after Hellsing they have too!
sao abridged, yes, sao? no
Yes yes! Or A Slap on Titan! Both are amazing
Think they wouldnt like it.
5:06 that moment when you realize the intros haven't had music for the past two episodes because Party Party Party is specifically Alucard's theme song.
7:49 Nah, those were just all the people he'd consume through his lifetime. Anyone he drinks he can use as a puppet soldier to fight for him, and he's drank a lot lol.
I highly suggest a "A Slap On Titan" by tomandre reaction. I think that you guys are going to love them.
I also highly suggest this
honestly, it might be al little too much for them. I love Slap, but that shit goes wild.
Yes!
Luissv72 ...Exactly the reason why I think that they should react to A Slap On Titan. Reacting to something safe is no fun.
With the nail dipped in Christ's blood, Alexander Anderson earned a crown of thorns.
How did y’all feel about this episode House?! Walt looked younger?! Maxwell?! And even Anderson!?!! 😱😱 what’s going on!?!🤯
Could you guys check out the alexander anderson song? theres a full version of the end credit version and it is really worth a watch/listen. *Also this is prob my fav episode of the abridged series*
12:15 - 12:35 that Big O reference with the background music was nostalgic😭👍🏿
This was the best episode so far in my opinion
Anderson was my favorite character in the series, this episode was simultaneously my favorite and least favorite in the show. Although, Anderson's death was far more beautiful and amazing in the manga. Trust me. Overall, this is probably my favorite episode.
Please reat to slap on titan
Technically Dracula is the full personality. Alucard is just one part of Dracula, whenever they talk about releasing restraint levels basically that means Alucard is removing those barriers that prevent his full personality as Dracula from emerging. At least according to how Team Fourstar wrote him.
What do you mean by "full personality"? Originally he was Vlad Tepes, Voivode of Wallachia.
Just for context, the "feels like YEARS" line isn't just the normal abridgers schedule joke, the series went on hiatus for a number of years, so this episode of the anime was literally years after the last that Alucard was in.
It's kind of amazing that the series ever got completed, but we're all glad it did.
You guys quickly became one of my favorite channels on RUclips. Nothing but good vibes from you 👍🏽
This is honestly my favorite episode out of all ten in the Hellsing ultimate ova .
However while funny, it's around here in the TFS version that most of important plot points , motivations and how certain things are in the show are supplanted or subverted by TFS for comedy's sake, which I don't fault them for but it really is a shame that they don't go more along the same lines as the Hellsing ultimate does , in particular at the beginning in the original Integra tells alucard to kill the Nazi's with one gun and the crusaders with the other, and that she only wants to know her enemies by the stains of red on their chests , and alucard's full chant for level zero is fantastic , as references a famous alchemy text that relates occultism and alchemy and such .
But the most important thing that gets ignored is this line after releasing level zero;
"Blood is the currency of the soul, the vehicle of life. Blood is the medium by which life can be transfered. To drink blood is take the essence of a soul into oneself." - Sir Integra Hellsing .
Its basically the foundation for the entire show and how alucard's (and vampirism in the Hellsing universe) powers work.
Basically alucard's the most powerful and unstoppable supernatural force in their universe, as long as even one person's soul who he's drank from exist within him, he's unkillable as he's got millions of souls inside, but after he unleashes his army of souls in Lvl . 0 he is vulnerable, essentially it's more appropriate to think of alucard not as a person, but as fortress of sorts given human form , Anderson's and other characters refer to him as such by this episode.
That phrase by the way also has implications for Seras , because being offered blood instead of taking it by force changes the nature of the exchange between the taker of blood and the donor .
I heard it from Kouta Hirano himself, at a panel during a local anime convention about 15 years ago, that the harsh treatment of London is due to a bad experience at an unnamed hotel during one of his visits.
That scene when Alucard “goes on a walk” is so great cause you have the nazis and the Catholic Church ready to face off against each other and he just jumps in the middle and everyone just starts unloading on him
I saw "Ready To Die" (the song when Alucard came in on the boat, it's by a guy named Andrew W.K.) live last year at the Warped Tour and this just reminded me of that, the music they picked is so perfect.
Fun fact: Anderson's backstory is pretty much sourced from a hentai the Hellsing creator published before where the lead looked like him and became a priest. Most of Hellsing's characters were strongly inspired by the mangaka's previous hentai works, aesthetically and occasionally backstory-wise.
"that was a cliffhanger". Imagine seeing that and waiting for over a year for an answer. This series was amazing from start to end.
if you dont get the song reference it a reference to the play alexander hamilton
Much of the music in this episode, the piano and string pieces, were from another anime, The Big O. The Big O was a giant robot anime, and the titular Mecha was known as a Megadeus, piloted by its Dominus, Roger 'Negotiator' Smith. It was a true Super Robot; big, heavy, and slow as mud in winter, but it packed a wicked right hook, owing to the piston built into the elbow. Throughout the series, it made extensive use of piano pieces and orchestral strings to really give scenes some power and weight. All in all, it's an anime I would happily recommend. It's only two seasons, but for giant robot anime, it's one of the all time greats, having a great dub, fantastic animation, and deep characters, and the occasional goofball baddies, or badass one eyed butler awesomeness. It'll kind of gets weird towards the end, but the ride getting there is worth the time and emotional investment.
Also, did anyone else notice Alucard's tone when he said "Releasing restraint, level... *sigh* Zero"? He sounded kind of reluctant, sad even.
Y’all are so mature with your analysis of what you watch. A lot of people can’t handle this kind of character exploration especially with the themes and topics covered in this series. But it shows real writing talent on Team Four Star’s part to stay true to characters even when it might seem to edgy by most standards.
I think it’s interesting to note that when Anderson preps his bayonet blades and Alucard preps his guns, they respectively mimic the Christian (upright) and satanic (downward) crosses
For the most part... Alucard is a branch of Vlad (Dracula)
Releasing restraint level 0 brings the barriers down and allows Dracula out.
And there are distinct differences between the two.
Dracula is a polite gentleman.
Where Alucard is (I've seen him described as) the comments section on any Social Media
The Nail of Helena turned Anderson into one of God's Monsters. And as Alucard will only allow himself to be defeated by a human, that was the moment Anderson lost the fight.
I like how you let TFS plug their merch at the end. Very classy. Subscribing.
What I love about this ep is that this is a literal war going on in the streets, and then Alucard turns up and - without an order being given - both armies immediately turn every single weapon on him. They all know what he is, and they don't even need to suggest cooperating to try to stop him. It's so obviously their only chance to live, is to unite two armies in desperation. He's such an unrelenting nightmare.
When he starts releasing Level Zero the manga talks about how every person present, Nazis and Crusaders alike, instantly knew that a monster too big and horrible to be described was about to get lose, and they all desperately tried to kill him before it could happen. Love it so much, they probably knew it wouldn't work but it was just the _biggest_ fight or flight response they ever felt in their lives.
I think the personality change is the idea that Dracula is who Alucard was 500 years ago- original person. Alucard now is the cumulation of all his experiances. He picked up an attitude on the way
What the coffin actually says is "The wings of hermes is my name. Eating my wings to make me tame."
Alucard became a monster to kill other monsters. He hates monsters, so he will only allow a human he considers worthy to kill him. He was hoping Alexander Anderson would prove to be that human, but then he used the nail and turned himself into a monster.
Princess' arms are looking like Linda Hamilton's in Terminator 2.....keep up that work, girl!
Alucard's story is the only thing I can think of that is better in the original. I won't talk about how it started, but he will only allow himself to be killed by a human. I think it happened twice before. That's why he was calling Anderson worthy, and he tried to stop him from using the nail. There wasn't a conversation with God originally, it was him getting angry and refusing to die to a monster. Alucard and Dracula are like separate personalities, he became Alucard to keep up with changing times. He had been doing that for hundreds of years. This might be my favorite episode in this series. Imagine having to wait a year after that ending.
Alucard was once Dracula during the time when Integras ancestor was alive Abraham Van Helsing who defeated Dracula back in the day. From there it somehow led to Dracula (Alucard) being in servitude to the Helsing family.
The nail Anderson was one of the nails used during Christ's crucifixion, so it's a magical object to the Vatican. When he stabbed himself with the nail, he became a "monster of God", a monster in order to fight against Alucard.
That upset Alucard because he will only accept defeat from a human's hands, not a monsters. So in Alucard's perspective, Anderson gave up any rights to kill him when he became a monster...
watch the full song. it's based on a separate manga, and isn't quite cannon, but it is a character that anderson was obviously based on, and they use it as his origin story(could actually be cannon in the authors mind even)
gives a great view into the start of anderson.
Not sure if you caught it. But when Sir Integra told Anderson to write a protest and nailing it to the door, it's a call back to the literal formation of Protestantism separation from the catholic church and the act of Martin Luther nailing his protest paper on the church door.
Walter becomes a vampire through the testing but it will be a surprise in the end for him best part is the police girl i wouldnt wait for another day i would watch it this afternoon.
Ever since you two started this series I’ve been waiting for this episode.
the Anderson Maxwell scenes were so well done.
So, some context for the Alucard vs Anderson fight. See, Alucard wants to be killed, but he wants a human to do it, and further he wants a human to beat him in a fair fight (or as close as that's ever going to get). However, Anderson resorted to divine intervention making him not exactly a normal human anymore, robbing Alucard of the fight and death he wants.
Additionally, Alucard mentions while he's speaking with Satan that he won't allow another monster like him to exist. That's why he fights monsters for Hellsing (among other reasons).
1:10 Every single time I hear that bell, I go to check my front door.
This episode solidified Anderson as one of my favorite characters in the series
Alucard wasn't turning them into ghouls. Those were all the souls he absorbed over his lifetime (i.e. all the people he drained dry). This si why he couldn't be killed, he had literally millions of lives inside him, and every time he's "killed" one of the lives inside him dies instead of him. When he releases Level Zero, he unleashes all the souls he devoured and has them fight for him as his familiars. However, this leaves him with only his own life, so he can be killed in this state.
Restraint Level 0 unleashes the souls o every person and creature Alucard has ever eaten. They are his familiars, spirits he can summon to aid him in battle, this includes his demon dog that he used to eat Luke Valentine in episode 2. But while this is a great aid in a large battle like this where he and his allies are outnumbered to the point where even he would have trouble, it also makes it easier to kill him. The reason he's near immortal is because he has so many souls in him (you sorta need to kill him once for every soul or something like that) but without them you can kill him by stabbing him through the heart or cutting off his head. He is still hard to kill though, he can quickly regrow lost limbs and take huge amount of damage and still has most of his other vamperic powers. Also Alucard feels God turned his back on him while he was Vlad the Impailer (the man who turned into Dracula). He had suffered for years at the hands of the Ottomans while still a child, being put through brutal training and even getting raped on a daily basis by his captors. He then spent years fighting the Turks, leading his armies into battle with them and keeping them from advancing further into Europe and doing all of this in the name of God. Only to be defeated, turtured, starved and then killed without God ever stepping in to save him. Only the Devil heard his prayers and offered him to become a vampire to get his revenge on the men who hurt him
The ending song is based off the one in the Broadway show about Alexander Hamilton
The original "Level Zero release" is something you NEED to see. You can find it on youtube in the original Japanese version (as the dub has been copyright blasted)
To be correct. He is now Vlad Tepis Dracula(Drac-cool-la), King of Walachia, Impaler(not the first to do it) of the cruel Ottoman/Turks, and now... servant of Hellsing. Level Zero, the effect where all the souls he has consume take physical form, while restrained, killing him would only result in one soul being destroyed, but now... he is fully free, main host free to the world.
Thanks for the reaction,
I love this abridge, it does so many things so well.
The only thing I don't really like though is the whole inserting the devil thing, as I think that detracts a bit from the idea that Dracula is humanities sin, a monster borne of humanity, rather than anything else.
I haven't watched the original (though I should, it's on my to watch list) but as far as I know in the original Alucard was kinda suicidal, in a way. Like he didn't want to live anymore but also wanted that it would be a worthy human that kills him. That's why he wasn't killed by any of Milleniums goons, because they weren't human. He didn't want them to be the one to end him.
Anderson was the only one he considered worthy of taking his life. That's why, even in the abridged, he gets angry when Anderson is about to stab himself with the nail. Because he knew Anderson wouldn't be human anymore, and thus, not worthy by the standards he had himself made for the one who bests him.
The music in this episode is bringing back some good memories😭
The Nail of Helena (what Anderson stabbed himself with) allows him the powers of the Burning Bush from the Bible.
Dracula is Vlad Tepes,
Alucard is the amalgamation of 2 millions souls, the base average of humanity.
The internet in flesh and blood ...
oh dear.
Remember when our card said I believe I was a chick in the 40s so I guess that answers your question about his personalities but he is still mainly Dracula
Not quite.
Maybe in the Abridged version.
But in the official release, Alucard Dracula doesn't care about physical form. So... He pretty much does whatever and becomes whoever.
But Alucard, the tall, pale, lanky man in red is his constant
Because of the subtitles these youtubers caught on it being Walther stumping on Anderson's remains. most who haven't seen the show don't recognize him.
The full version of the Alexander Anderson song is 🔥🔥
That background music you have.. First I thought someone's car alarm going off. Then I thought it was someone playing ELO - Mr Blue Sky on a car radio. Then realized when I paused the video it was your background music. I feel derp.
I love The Big O music in the background
nah nah~ as integra put it: Alucard wasn't turning people into a army, he had an army. living for god knows how long (me things a good 500 years or so) made him see many wars, battles and death AKA free meals. so, when he feels the need to go all, he unleashes everything he had eaten. heh~ i love it's called his "life hack" in this abridged series.
You should reaction to Alexander anderson full song it is really good
also dracula and Anderson have been fighting for 500 years with different names and different time periods
Alucard wasn’t making a Normie he already has an army
"Hold on"
*"T h a t w a s a c l i f f h a n g e r"*
Alucard doesn't have two different personalities, it's just a team four star thing.
Well, there that could be debated. It's probably like millions of personalities. The lives he has consumed are not just his "minions", he is them. Alucard/Dracula are just holding the others back but they can call upon their memories and appearance on any moment and essentially become them. So, yeah, he doesn't have 2 personalities, he has over 2 million.
Not so sure about that.
Perhaps, it is just an abridged thing (which works flawlessly)
But in the official release, after getting the bayonet through the head... Alucard speaks to Vlad.
Kind of talking down on him.
To basically sum up Alucard and Anderson, Alucard was once a man of God who lost everything, and on the day of his execution turned his back on God and drank human blood, turning into a Vampire. While he then went on to commit atrocities he ultimately came to regret what he had done and for being so weak as become a monster and blame everything on God, when it was his own actions that lead to his fall. Now he desires to find a worth human to kill him, as he sees that only a human can kill a monster, for then the monster is dead but if a monster kills a monster then all you have is a new monster in its place. So when Anderson pulls out the nail, he begs him to keep his humanity and not turn into a monster like himself. Ultimately Anderson ignores this and turns into "One of Gods Monsters". Alucard is devastated by this, but reaffirms his desire to never allow another monster like himself to exist, fights Anderson, removing the nail and killing him. Both come to understand one another and Alucard says farewell to his fallen rival. Great both in the Abridged version and the Official (which I cannot recommend enough to people its sooooo good!)
Love seeing how much yah love the series and love the reaction!
in this show Alucard is Dracula and Dracula when he was still human was known to Vlad Tempest or known as Vlad the impaler in history
No puedo esperar a los últimos 2 episodios. Genial gran reacción!!!!!!!!
“So Anderson is dead :(“
I fucking feel you, my girl, that shit hurt me a little
If you ever get the chance, y’all should react to A Slap on Titan by tomandre! It’s a fun, dangerous parody to Attack on Titan I know y’all would enjoy♥️♥️♥️
Actually, it isn't 'racist' at all. There's five races/subspecies of humanity, and 'arab' ISN'T one of them. Thus, you literally CANNOT be 'racist' towards Arab people, because they aren't a 'race'.
I’ve always liked Alucard and Anderson’s rivalry
Since alucard is Dracula backwards, so are their personalities, Dracula is honorable and kind, a close range fighter as well which is why he fights with swords. Alucard on the other hand is the polar opposite, rude, crude and all the like, alucard likes long range combat hence he fights with guns and let others (the souls he consumed) do it for him. However one thing is for sure that both personalities recognize Integra as their master. So they are like both sides of the same coin.
And both share a bond with Seras, although Drac is more open about how he cares for her.
26:00 - i'd also like to point out people blame Lucifer just as much if not more : ), and it's still wrong. But you won't hear anyone talk about that
Minor spoiler, if its mentioned, Walter got his age reversed before all hell broke loose with Alucard and Alexander
The song at the end is a parody to the song Alexander Hamilton, I’d say listen to original song it’s pretty good in my opinion
5:07 - Cliche, I know - but my favourite part.
BEST. ENTRANCE. EVER!
No, he's always Dracula. Restraint level 0 just allows him to use all of his power. Yeah, the personality thing you said might be right.
Enjoyed the reactions so far. There's series like "kids react," "elders react," etc., that are so scripted and prepared- not real reactions. Oh- there's Japanese reaction videos where they put high resolution monitors in windows to make it look like a meteor is coming down, or in the floors of elevators to make it look like the floor is disappearing- with paid/fake reaction actors. Your reactions feel honest. Reminds me of anime club in college when we'd get visitors from other clubs and argue about things.
If you want a happy little pick-me-up, try reacting to Grave Of The Fireflies...
Gooble gobble.
... Do you actually speak - or understand - Japanese?
@@CaptainCFalcon I'm basing this on the Japanese language, English subtitled, non-abridged version.
I speak and understand a very little bit of Japanese, not enough to be useful here.
@@smurfydude77 alright, well then I don't believe you have any real right to say that any of the Japanese reactions you've seen are fake &/or "paid." The Japanese have a real... Interesting set of ways people react to things. Visual effects, VR models, etc.
I once saw a Japanese speaking Velociraptor react to Hero's reveal trailer for Smash. It seemed more calm & collected about their excitement then the 47 other _human_ Japanese reactors I watched as well. They just like to throw in a little... *_spice_* is all.
@@CaptainCFalcon The meteor video and elevator floor would be obviously fake to the people in the video because as they move they would see the images not move, so they would immediately know they were looking at an artificial image.
*OF THE UNCLEAN*
Alucard does have three separate bodies which is Dracula, a little girl, and of course alucard.
oh yeah... theyre gonna get to that part next episode
Holy shit the song was spot on xDDD
15:24 their reactions 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love the dreads
It's simple. Most of British people, for sure in London, are Protestant. So now Maxwell is being a megalomaniac, he's eradicating the protestant "headquarters" at the time. Probably hopes amid the chaos that Alucard & Major's troops kill each other & conquer the rest of London in one swoop.
Rest in peace Maxwell? SERIOUSLY? O_O
I'm glad someone else picked up on the fact that the characterization of Satan is Donald Trump
No
I say every politician Democrat and Republican is the definition of Satan
Democrats are EXACTLY the same as Republicans
Two sides of the same damn coin saying the same things and doing the same shit since 19 fucking 40
If every politician did what they promised to do in their campaign speeches we wouldn't have the problems we have today but look at where we are simply because of what Politicians encouraged
All will be explained in the next episode
The catholic church, Iscariot ,and millenium all are different
Wait til the next episode
2:36 bodybags for everyone😨
