Hellsing is definitely one of the most bizarre properties that's within the anime/manga space and as someone whose only seen Hellsing Ultimate, I always wondered if the manga was just as strange or perhaps even more. So, to answer my own curiosity, I decided to read the manga and yeah, Hellsing is weird. In this video, I go over the basics of the story and detail just how a strange and surprisingly deep this manga is.
As always, my opinion is subjective so if you disagree or have a different take, your opinion is totally justified.

I've always thought of Alucard as an extremely dense mass of shapeshifting blood with intelligence. The Van Helsing family took Dracula and made him into an indestructible weapon. But one correction, sorry. The Hound of Baskerville. The Baskervilles were a family from a Sherlock Holmes story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

You're absolutely right. I don't know how I didn't catch that in recording but I totally mispronounce it lol, didn't even notice I did it. Thank you for pointing that out.

@Usernamesdontmatter1 Год назад

One thing that actually really impresses me about Hellsing. I read it back in highschool. It is actually pretty accurate to the original Dracula book in how vampires work. If you take out the virgin bit, the ghouls and the lovecraft horror powers. Hell one thing Hirano actually took note of was that in Dracula when a vampire was slain they were always depicted as at peace with their death. That their souls were saved when they were slain and even Dracula. All the characters are insanely complex when at first glance they are one note. Hell even the nice little details like the clothes they wear says a lot. The fact that Abraham Van Helsing is always seen wearing an outfit very much like Alucard's exposes a lot about Alucard's mental state. He's obsessed with the group of humans who beat him so much he is wearing Van Helsing's clothes to envoke their memory. The last thing his prey will see is the same thing he saw on that Transylvanian morning.

I also love how the Major contrasts Alucard in almost every way. Despite him not being as "human" as previously thought everything about him is almost a mockery of what Alucard stands for. While Alucard wants to die he still maintains his existence for the support of others. Major literally sacrifices everyone for a single moment. And what I find daunting is that neither Alucard nor Major hate each other, they seem to be almost playful towards each other. Despite not being allies at all, there's a sense of respect the two have for each other. I don't see that type of interaction between a protagonist and an antagonist that often if at all.

@Usernamesdontmatter1 Год назад

@@nono9543ctually if you take out the shoggoth eyes and his multiple lives he's actually pretty accurate to how Dracula is described in the book. He can turn into dogs, bats and mist. He can control the weather, walk about in the day in direct sunlight, control the minds of weak men and animals. Drive men mad with his power. Telepathy, teleportation, immense strength and speed. Unable to be harmed outside of being stabed in the heart, decapitation or shot with a magic bullet. Also one of the least understood powers in the book. The ability to grow in power for every victim he bites. Hirano even got right the fact he requires his coffins to house the dirt of his homeland in order to rest which not a lot of vampire stories even mention. He even grows old if he doesn't feed as seen in integra's flashback. It should also be worth mentioning that Dracula was a big inspiration to Lovecraft when making the Cthulhu mythos.

@@Usernamesdontmatter1My personal theory is that they really didn't modify him in any way, and instead just put seals in which abilities he can access at a time. Reason? Seras has all of his abilities, she just learns them while fighting.

@xmoonstarx Год назад

@@jackmesrel4933 in the first volume of the manga integra mentions he's literally the fruit of years of research to turn him into the ultimate undead after getting regenerated (this is why even anderson got surprised and had to run away in their first meeting, any of the things he did to alucard would have killed any common vampire), even the creator said on an interview in the official guide that alucard was modified to be more powerful. it's even more clear when in the flashbacks he recalls being defeated by humans with normal weapons as in the book, he wasn't as powerful as he is now and he says that in that day *he fought with all of his heart*. the fact that seras has similar abilites is because alucard's blood that flows now in her undead veins is obviously already modified and she has to learn and unlock them.

@fireblast133 Год назад

I think the one thing you missed is that the Vatican has the Frankenstein allegory on their side. Alexander Anderson very much fits that role of Frankenstein’s monster. A monster not intended to be a monster. One intended to be human. He wasn’t a corpse brought back to life, yeah, but he is one pushing that limit of ‘what is a man’ and is in many ways the physical perfection of the technology of mankind. Alucard still recognized him as human, and honestly, Anderson could have likely won that fight in the end, his downfall ending up being his faith making him give up his humanity, a desire to only be a force of nature that god could direct.

@kinggundragon3728 Год назад

The major is far closer to Frankenstein's being a dead man brought back by a mad doctor and his general desire to prove that he is a man and not a moster while being the most twisted and cruel of the monsters. Anderson felt more like the product of the author taking Vash the stampede and focusing more on the religious elements of tri gun.

I must say that this video was excellent. You did a fantastic job of discussing the various characters and creatures within the Hellsing universe, and your analysis of Alucard, the vampire army, werewolves, and priests was very impressive. Alucard was particularly noteworthy. You highlighted the fact that he is one of the most powerful vampires in the series, and delved into his complex personality and motivations. You also did an excellent job of conveying Alucard's dual nature - on the one hand, he is a brutal and ruthless fighter, while on the other hand, he is also capable of moments of compassion and empathy.

Hellsing is Weird but a masterpiece

@l0rf Год назад

Alucard is the One Punch Man before that was a thing. He cannot lose. He cannot die. He is unstoppable, nothing can defeat him. Millennium had a plan, decades in the making, using actual quantum mechanics and the sacrifice of millions of people and a thousand vampire nazis as well as a whole new crusade, it still only had a 50/50 chance of actually putting him down. And it only did for 30 years before making him even more powerful. There's nothing that can challenge him and that makes him... insanely isolated and lonely. He's very layered and you explained that depth well.

@Usernamesdontmatter1 Год назад

I disagree with that statement. Alucard can lose and die. He almost died against Anderson until Seras snapped him out of his dazed state. He almost died against Walter but Walter messed up by letting Luke Valentine live. As far as nothing can stop him that's not true either. In Hellsing the Dawn he actively avoided the werewolf captain and abandoned Walter saying "that's not my area of expertise". Alucard was also canonically defeated by Van Helsing and the other protagonists of Dracula. Yeah Alucard is the most powerful character in Hellsing and he's pretty powerful when you stack him up against other vampires of other works of fiction but he's not Saitama levels of BS nor is he as unstoppable in his own universe. What makes him lonely and isolated is his own mentality on HOW he gained his power. He wants to be defeated by a person who truly values what life is. That's why he was furious when Anderson threw away his humanity. That's why he grew angry when the Brazilian cop killed himself. The addition of Seras who became a vampire but still retained her humanity and Integra who basically embodies every virtue he sees as valuable makes him less lonely in the end. Something he brags to Walter about before they fight.

@chelsthegameruiner8669 Год назад

I remember seeing Ultimate back in middle school and thinking I hallucinated the swastika in the Toonami trailer as it was relatively late. For some reason, I thought that Nazis and anime were a forbidden combo back then but sure enough, it wasn't. That's not saying I hated it though, as I genuinely enjoyed the episodes with the Nazis because it REALLY increased the violence and action, as well as had really good animation even for more minor background things. Probably the biggest shock though was that Toonami aired it, considering that Attack on Titan had already established itself as a mainstay by that point. I watched a bit of AoT, but lost interest after the whole titan shifter reveal since it just felt like a dumb twist to me. Hellsing Ultimate revived what AoT killed for me, which was a love for anime. I'm not attacking AoT fans either, it's just not as interesting to me when compared to a powerful vampire killing Nazis that are probably pissed off that they lost the war

@jackmesrel4933 Год назад

They're not pissed of about losing the war, they're about never really playing a part in it. The Major's unit was still being constructed when they were assaulted and had to retreat and, shortly after, the war ended, so none of them touched the battlefield. That's why they orchestraded the attack on London, to fulfill the task they were trained for, and to die wether they win or lose.

@fireblast133 Год назад

I would recommend giving AoT another go. Though maybe wait until later this year when the last bit of the anime comes out.

No Hate towards anyone who sees this as just an edgy anime just made for a visual spectacle. If you want to see it that way. That's fine, my personal gripe with these people is when the make these two implications. One, to imply the series can only be enjoyable that way, that tells me you ignore the deeper meaning in the series actively and that's disingenuous. Two, those who simply state that the Abridged is better, that is really debatable in of itself. The bigger problem what that also comes off as, it makes it as shitting on the creator themselves and it's pretty disrespectful in that regard.

Spoilers for a 120 year old book. It's actually about a Inheritance case where a villain uses a vicious hound painted in phosphorous to make it look demonic where someone uses it to scare and or kill his own family members so he can be the remaining heir to the families fortune. Kinda interesting how that parallels the start of hellsing and Integra's uncle Richard who tries to kill her to inherit the organization.

Granted I could be dead wrong but apparently the Doctor came from a gay erotica involving him and Adolf Hitler, though I doubt I'm right. Edit: just checked, I was wrong but the manga involving Hitler is really fucking weird. Apparently he hits the Doc (known as Bergman in the story) which kills him.

People throw around the word Mary sue without actually knowing what the word means. I do argue he takes up way too much screen time from the actual main character Seras.
