Vampires - A Hellsing Monster Manual 

Alacurd takes enthusiastic walks in the woods

Alucard: Summon up your demons, come on hit me, fight me... Give me a hug

I like how Vampires in Hellsing look lovecraftian.

Just don't break their 70 inch plasma TVs and you'll be fine.

in some mythologies a steak to the heart would kill the vampire, but it had to stay there. if it was taken out, theyd revive, maybe it was something like that

I think it'd be funnier to see Alucard just suddenly stop fighting and say "Wait! Hang on. Someone just spilled a bag of rice. I need to count it. Gimme a second. Lets see... 1.... 2... 3... 4.... 5..."

Something I think you left out is how a vampires must be in the coffin that hold the dirt of the earth that they were born and died in. The creator of hellsing, Kouta Hirona, has actually that’s the secret of how Abraham Van Hellsing defeated, Dracula by destroying all of his coffins, that included the 16 he sent London, when he planing to invade, and the rest in Romania, do to not getting his vampire sleep he became too weak to fight at his full extent(another reason why he won was because Dracula didn’t know how to use his powers until he was captured by Van hellsing and the Cromwell infarction was something he was trained to do, the creator actually described Alucard experience at hellsing was “was like being train like a dog to tricks, know how to shack, and not shit on the floor”)even Walter explains this to Seras because she refused to drink blood. Also I know in the books it said Dracula can turn to a wolf, but like think in hellsing it meant to be a dog because Walter calls it in their fight “The black hound of Baskerville” that and it reminds me of Gut’s beast of darkness and it might suppost to be Alucard own inner beast because the creator said, that it’s not a different entity or soul because Alexander Anderson purge all of his souls and was Alucard inner familiar.

Alucard: "Police girl. Police girl! Put my head between your breasts!" Seras: "Oh Master I don't know what to do, I'm so useless!" *hugs Alucards severed head crying Alucard: "Very GOOD!"

The Millennium Vampires are described as “two bit imitations”: the ranked officers (Luke, Zorin Blitz, Rip Van Winkle) have only one thing that sets them apart from the stock standard vampire (which is what the other Millennium fodder represents: enhanced speed, basic regeneration, enhanced strength) and even then those things come across as cheap gimmicks, take those away and they’re nothing special (Luke has enhanced speed, Zorin can create illusions and Rip simply has a musket with magic bullets).

Think of the souls as a extra life in a video game. Since alucard has killed so many he is dam near immortal

Alucard is probably the main definition of "monster".

there is another way in hellsing to become a vampire. it shows how alucard, who isn't a virgin, is able to become a vampire. It just took him renouncing humanity and consuming blood moments before he died. The major in hellsing almost does this too but rejects the supernatural and chooses to stay human

The amount of tfs quotes here gives me faith in the internet again.

Video idea: why was the major a cyborg

Even amongst vampires in-universe, Alucard was considered a monster. I think it’s worth noting all of the occult imagery associated with his character: the seal on his coffin, on his gloves, the verses on his pistols, the seal above his tomb, the illuminati eyes that cover his body... he’s been augmented in some way. Alucard is what happens when you alchemically-augment a vampire. I don’t know the source for his eldritch powers, but he can do more things than any other vamp in the series to an alarming & supernatural degree.

Vampires don't sparkle you say? Then explain Lord DIOS' beauty radiating the world. Edit: Excuse my foul language, I meant to say... ZA WORLDA! Re-edit: *ZA WARUDO!* Finally, I did for you Lord Dio.

It's interesting to think about that idea you brought up of the fact that no vampires have *actually tried* crossing water, and so they might be able to if they tried... this idea is explored in one of the Discworld novels "Carpe Jugulum" in which a family of vampires (something odd on it's own as vampires are usually solitary predators) have decided to "go modern". and the father is introducing nuanced ideas such as telling them to eat normal food and secretly adding small amounts of garlic so they develop a tolerance. or he forces his kids to *memorize* the shape of each religious symbol of all major religion, so that they won't cower in fear to the sight of them, claiming that religion is just superstition anyway. =] and he has kinda the right idea because it does actually work to some extent. and his goal is to overcome all of their weaknesses eventually. The vampires in Discworld in the first place are really interesting. they can completely reform from a single speck of dust, and a single drop of blood. There's a character of a vampire that works for the newspaper as a photographer. and in his spare time he tries to develop ways to have a "flash" effect (using enraged salamanders) even though whenever that happens he crumbles to dust (as it produces frequencies of light that are close to sunlight or something). i'll quote from an article about him: "The inherent problem with being a Vampire Iconographer is that flashes of bright light will cause Otto to shriek in pain, and more often than not reduce him to a pinch of dust on the floor. Thanks to a suggestion by William de Worde, Otto finally solved this problem by wearing a vial of blood around his neck, creating an automatic reconstitution mechanism -- whenever he crumbles to dust, the vial breaks, reconstructing Otto. The entire process happens within a matter of moments, allowing him to pick up the picture he undied for before it hits the ground. " because that's how dedicated he is to his passion of photography. XD

One thing about Helsing vampires feeding. The amount of power they get varies on weither the blood is taken or offered freely. SPOILERS When Seras first drinks blood its offered to her by a dying Pip and she gets a much larger power boost than if she had just went out and killed and drained someone against their will.

Alucard does in fact seem to bring his coffin(and therefore soil) with him when crossing large bodies of water. It's with him in Brazil and is seen to be on board the Blackbird when he arrives in London on the carrier.

the "wolf" isnt a personal transformation its his familiar baskerville

Love vampires in Hellsing Alucard and Seras are some of my favorite characters in fiction

Normally not a big fan of vampires, but love the heck outta Hellsing, so this is fine; also, we'll all be stuck inside all day for at least a few more months, so hey, vampire practice.

There's a couple of things you left out. First, there's a point where Integra mentions that the normal weaknesses of decapitation and staking through the heart was removed from Alucard because the Hellsing family had modified Alucard as a vampire heavily in the time Alucard was with Hellsing using occult knowledge (She mentions this during the first encounter with Anderson. So Alucard is basically been modified into one of the most powerful vampires in the world by Hellsing over the years. It is also worth noting that Integra mentions to the Wild Geese that they should put a stake through the vampire's heart, burn the corpse, scatter the ashes at a crossroads, and to consult Bram Stoker for more details. Now this could have been a joke on Integra's part, and it probably was, but it does imply that at least some of Bram Stoker's methods for killing a vampire do work in the Hellsing universe. Alucard is just the exception to the rule because Hellsing basically modified him to not be able to be killed by that kind of ability. I also noticed you didn't mention his ability to create familiars from people, and specifically he has the ability to summon all the people he's eaten to fight for him. I assume this is meant to be included in the "consuming blood" part, but I think it's worth mentioning that he was able to summon those he'd consumed blood of as familiars (which we see mostly when he's in his full power form). And while we're on the blood consumption, it's also shown that Alucard can manipulate blood outside of people's bodies (though there's no point where we see him manipulating blood within people's bodies so we don't know if he can or not), so it is snow that he has blood manipulation to some degree. There's also points where he's shown to have telekinesis abilities to some degree as well like when he knocks back two guards of the Queen without actually touching them. And although it is not explored, it seems like Alucard has the ability to control darkness and insects as there are multiple points (mostly when he's regenerating) where he seems to manipulate the darkness and collections of worms (or centipedes? I have no idea what kind of insects they show masses of at times). He also seems to be able to shapeshift into other human figures (you did mention shapeshifting, but Alucard seems to be able to do more than just change into animals and bats). Now how much of this is the result of Alucard's modification by Hellsing or how much is normal vampire ability is unclear. Now... I know some people aren't going to see some of this as legit, since I'm sure some of this is probably Anime only, and before anyone tries to say I'm going by the old Hellsing anime, keep in mind I am going by Hellsing Ultimate's anime, nothing I've said was taken from the original Hellsing anime as that's a whole other beast entirely in most cases.

Another enlightening (and hilarious) video, Ryan. Vampires are super hit or miss in terms of their presentation in recent popular media (especially Western media, I truly believe Twilight singlehandedly set back Vampires but who doesn't?) I truly felt that Hellsing was a perfect amalgamation of high octane action, a seinen target audience, and a genuine respect for Bram Stoker's original work. I often reread the manga - this is a deep cut but I still have the original scanlations from the Maximum 7 team that pioneered the early days of online scanlations (they also did the entire run of Trigun too, which I feel is right up your alley in terms of tastes! -) on a thumb drive I've had since friggin high school. I remember around the time the Hellsing Ultimate OVA was announced my friends and I damn near died. The original TV anime diverged so damn hard I was afraid we'd get burned again, but by the time the 3rd or 4th OVA released the manga had ended and my fears were laid to rest. 10 episodes of a damn near perfect page-to-screen adaptation with very few and if not welcome changes in regards to pace and timing. Studio GONZO went *off.* Even the dumb animated shorts on the dvds inbetween episodes were straight from the tankobon publications of the original Hellsing manga run. Each episode was about 6 months apart, released over the span of 6 years from '06 to '12. Truly a fucking love letter to the series. Now imagine if *Berserk* got nary a fraction or a *sliver* of the love Studio GONZO was allowed to give to Hellsing.

8:17 That smile is simply terrifying

In the Helsing Anime, Alucard's (and later Seras's) regeneration & "demon" are them calling on the trapped "souls" of their victims. Seras's "recovery" after losing her arm only happens after she "eats" the leader of the wild geese.

Hellsing need more lore to Schrödinger, Walter, Werewolves, and Regenerator... Maybe Major as well as he is... You know, "unnatural"

Those shots at Twilight 😂 I take it you've had to suffer through a movie or two due to a gf dragging you to see it lol Many of us share your pain

My entire thigh is a badass Alucard tattoo! Down to the last details on his guns!💜

The reason they don’t have reflections is that mirrors used to be backed by silver. Nowadays, they’re backed by other things meaning they can probably see their reflections now

Now I wonder what I vampire would be like in the Berserk universe. Like, not a vampire like apostle, I'm talking full on, Bram Stoker gothic vampire. P.S: A little correction here, in the Bram Stoker novel, Lucy was the one staked. Dracula was stabed in the heart with a kukri by Quincy Moris and had his throat cut open by Jonathan Harker.

Whoa a monster manual from an entirely different series!! This is epic, what an absolute surprise! Awesome video

Well since your doing a monster manual on vampires are you doing to do a monster manual on werewolves?

I'm pretty sure Alucard's regeneration was rare even among True Vampires- because he could sacrifice the life of one of his hundreds of thousands of familiars to immediately reform.

You mentioned vampires having access to their victims' memories. That would mean that if one were to have an insatiable thirst for knowledge, and they were a vampire, then all they would need to do is drain geniuses and researchers and occultists. Imagine what kind of implications this would have if Bram Stoker Dracula had that ability. All Dracula would need to do is drain Johnathan. Also I believe the rice thing is because of Irish Mythology. Fairies, or Fae, are said to have that same OCD-esque weakness. Also I heard that modern Vampire legend, such as the Bram Stoker novel, is based off of the Dearg Due. A Fae who is essentially what you could describe as the Irish Vampire

Mirrors are addressed. When seras is first turned and wakes up in the hellsing basement she checks her fangs in a mirror confirming that she is indeed a vampire.

hit me ! fight me ! give me a HUG .

Alucard has those wolf parts because of the hell hound souls he has eaten... And can resurrect himself as many times as the amount of souls he has consumed.

Sun light is just extra bright to vampires hence why they can sea so will at night as if it’s daytime

The thing about Alucard is that he is in short a walking, talking, living mini version of Hell. And the dogs I'm pretty sure are what control the ghost inside him.

lmao I saw a Avengers cartoon before where Dracula is in pursuit of a AIM agent Hawkeye is trying to rescue. They hide in a AVENGER's cabin, Dracula asks for the AIM agent to be handed over. Hawkeye mentions he can't enter since he is not inviting him in. Dracula then retracks his offer to spare Hawkeye by handing the agent over, and moments later you hear Vampire hordes tears the cabin apart piece by piece. Hawkeye is like well that is one way to get in.

The Aristocrats.

Also, you can become a vampire if you were a war monger and make a pact with some unknown force while you are close to death, that you can reject, like the Major did. Great video, Hellsing needs more love.

In the original Hellsing Seras was in direct sunlight in an episode. However I don't think she was a full vampire yet, idk. Still my favorite anime.

this was pretty thorough explanation of vampires in the hellsing universe but there are a few things you missed like how alucard got his vampirism from drinking human blood while being human (this was referenced a few times in the anime as a way to become a vampire by taking the essence of another human) another thing is that in the first episode of the anime seras who was recently turned into a vampire was given a mirror to look at herself and she could still see her reflection theres also how vampires heal which you touched upon in this universe, while advanced healing is possible after a vampire drinks human blood the only way in order to heal consistently is by consuming more human blood, in fact that was why in the anime major wanted alucard to use level 0 in order for all of the blood he's absorbed in the past 500 years would be out of him making him extremely vulnerable which is why both anderson and walter took a shot at killing him but they failed you can tell he was weaker because he healed slower than normal and would protect his chest as much as possible during the fights even going as far as creating a decoy to fool walter, also alucard himself mentions in the first episode to the rogue vampire after the priest "you haven't learned how to turn your body to mist or heal your wounds" which implies its a learning process as well and not something that comes naturally (exceptions being seras in the mansion after getting blinded and having a arm ripped off) another thing i can think of is the weakness to sunlight alucard said to seras very specifically that "you chose to be a creature of the night so you must avoid the sunlight unless you want a slow and painful death" the last thing i also remember wanting to mention to you was how vampires are made while everything you said was true you just missed the fact that newly made vampires are still in control by the vampire who made them until they drink their blood which is what alucard was encouraging in the first episode. but outside of those few bits this was a good video i appreciate the use of real world mythology to explain the vampires in the hellsing universe

Alucard calls the army inside his body his #lifehack

Hellsing never explained what are the differences between the process of 'siring' (turning a human into vampire), ghouling (turning a human into ghoul) and soul devouring (consuming the soul of a human so it an be used later). We know that only a virgin of opposite gender can be sired, but let's say a vampire don't really need to sire anyone yet and just want to take their soul. In my headcanon, it worked like how siring works in White Wolf tabletop RPG. A vampire drain their desired virgins dry, then injects a small amount of their blood into the bloodless corpse.

A lot of people forget these pieces of trivia with stakes: they had to either be tipped with silver or made of hawthorne. Sometimes wolfsbane was also acceptable to off them. And you could prevent someone from raising as a vampire by burying them face-down and putting rocks over the coffin so they'd give up on trying to escape their grave and just starve back to death.

I just like how the Vampires in Hellsing combine the traits and characteristics of classical vampires (Dracula) and modern vampires (30 Days Of Night) specifically the brutal, ruthlessness, and predator tendencies of 30 Days Of Night Vampires and the otherworldly, unholy, and mystical traits of the Vampires found in Dracula

Alucard/Dracula Own the night & chaos itself. Sons of Drucula, Belmonts & Jostars Hunt the night. Vampire Lords are blessed by the night. Wimpires just Sparkles.

How the legend of rice started. Vampire: HEEEJJHH IM GONNA GET YA!! Villagers: *Scream and throw rice at him.* Vampire: Ahh pfft ppffut hey! *sees they ran off* Awww nuts. ... ... ... Hey I wonder how much rice was in there. One, two, three...

Dracula isn't staked in the book. Quincy Morris cuts his throat with a Bowie knife at sunset.

Having watched Jojo and Hellsing, I found it really cool that Luke Valentine and Dio had one voice actor

Found your channel three days ago because of your Berserk monster manuals. Been binging Hellsing Ultimate and Hellsing Ultimate abridged for the last two days for completely unrelated reasons. And today I get this video from you on Hellsing. The world's a spooky place.

its so rare to see hellsing content on youtube! would you ever make a video analyzing walter and his betrayal?

acually Alucard did use an illusion once! when he was fighting Walter. He made luke valentine look like him inoder to play with Walter

Fun fact! The reflection thing is mentioned in the Hellsing manga in the post-scene. Seras mentions to Integra that “Well at least you can still see your reflection” as they are joking about Integra being old.

As I understand it in Hellsing a vampires power is tied primarily to how much they have abandoned their humanity. Someone like Alucard has essentially gone full "lol humanity who needs that? Pass me those orphans" while Seras clings to her humanity and refuses to drink blood for most of the story. Alucard revels in what he is and has little regard for humanity. While Seras sees herself as a human until the final acts where she starts accepting her own inhumanity. So Alucard is able to freely hang out in sunlight and ignore the whole sleeping in a coffin packed with the dirt of his homeland thing which is also used as the loophole to cross oceans. Which is why he's able to chill on that plane while Seras has to be stashed in the cargohold in a coffin (presumably packed with english dirt) Basically the less human they perceive themselves as the more powers they get and the more weaknesses they get to ignore. So how does this play into the artificial vampires? Tough to say. Could be theres a hard limit for them. But it could also be that their inhumanity of the soul/mind is less genuine. Rather than genuinely turning their back on their own humanity they're instead putting on an act, which falls apart the instant they run into something genuinely inhuman.

Excellent piece as always, would you ever do a piece on the Major, his motives of having the utter human desire to destroy a monster would be a fun topic to dive into, as he did everything he did, just to defeat alucard, as that was what it took to REALLY defeat him. Calling out that Anderson's way of just 'stab stab stab slice slice slice', would have never of worked.

I think many of Alucard’s vampiric powers also stem from the fact that unlike a conventional vampire, which is essentially a walking corpse with only an echo of their former selves, he made a pact with a demon or possibly even the devil itself. As such he is composed of shadow-y demonic energy as well as the blood and souls of those he has consumed over the centuries. Naturally this energy has no fixed shape, allowing him to shapeshift, form shadow constructs out of himself like the hound of Baskerville, or melt into shadows to travel through them or even walk through walls.

Hohoho, good, good. Show them the might of a TRUE vampire

0:58 "Vampires don't sparkle" DIO and Kars: hold our beers

The reason why Alucard is so much more powerful then regular vampires and is seemingly immune to things like decapitation and sunlight is that his vampiric abilities are augmented with black magic, also Alucard doesn't transform into the dog the dog is actually a familiar of his called Baskerville who he summons like how he is able to summon the bodies/souls of anyone he consumed.

I love how one translation sub used _"call out your slave demons"_ instead of "summon up your familiars". "Slave demons" just sounds so much more _menacing_ and esoteric... 😈 Really gives a feeling that he is _unleashing_ barely-restrained monsters, vs calling trained attack _pets._

A couple of interesting facts. It's actually classically understood that True Vampires and True Werewolves in Hellsing lore are actually demons, which is why the corruptive aspect is so prevalent. In addition, Alucard's capacity to stand back up may SEEM infinite, but I've heard what's actually happening is that if he should be killed by a means that is actually lethal to vampires, he can sacrifice a soul in his inventory to face his death for him, freeing him from the afterlife because his toll for death is paid.

You also should have mentioned that the Vampires can summon the souls they absorbed as familiars. If someone is forced to be a familiar it forces the soul to become one with the vampire's soul, which muddies their identities. If someone willingly becomes a familiar, they can maintain their individuality while becoming one with the vampire.

You did forget the alternative way people become vampires in HU. If blood from a particularly violent battle offers itself to an individual and that individual accepts it they will be made a vampire even if they are not a virgin. I find it very interesting because it implies that vampires in HU can never truly go extinct. It could be entirely possible that Alucard and Seras are the only two true vampires left in the world during the events of Hellsing Ultimate.

Seras can be seen out in daylight with long sleeved clothing with Pip in Hellsing Ultimate. Her face is exposed though to direct sunlight though. It’s probably just painful or uncomfortable and something most vampires avoid if they have to. Though the more powerful vampires such as Alucard don’t seem that bothered by it.

I was surprised when I audibly chuckled when he brought up the possibility of surviving a vampire from this franchise

As far as I know, the idea of vampires obsessively counting things comes from their immortality. After a while, they become so bored that they just count things to fill the time.

But we do see another vampire in sunlight. Seras. PS: Wasn't the reason Alucard was defeated by the Van Helsing because he wanted to be defeated?

I love how people quote the Abridged version in every video.

Now we need ghouls,artifical vampires and warewulf.

Good timing I’ve just been listing to the original Hellsing OST. Top tier anime ost

Another fun one would be how vampires are portrayed in the JoJo series

Actually in the book Dracula was killed with a Bowie Knife by the Texan Quincey Morris while Johnathan tried to slice the count's head off with a kukri knife. The play and the Universal Studio's film with Bella Legosi used the steak through the heart.

Funny scene in a vampire movie. In Dracula 2000 they use that counting thing. Someone tries to escape Dracula by throwing a jar of sand at him and it like pauses time in the film for a second and then he says the number and keeps walking. Always found that hilarious. Like so many people have tried that to the point he can count huge numbers in less than a moment.

In Bram Stoker Novel, Johnathan cuts Draculas throat with a kukuri knife, then Quincy stabs him through the heart with a bowie. Dracula then turns to dust and Mina is freed. In the Movie, same thing, throat slit, bowie to the pumper, Then Mina pushes the blade through him completely, pulls it out, then lops off his head. Then Seras was in sunlight in Brazil, at least out and about during the day, she did wear a hoodie though. Interesting to note, while you can invite a vampire into your home, you can also rescind the invitation and they are forcibly removed. No reflection, mirrors used to be backed with silver, so no reflection. Nowadays they have steel backing so boom, now there's a reflection.

I heard somewhere that the reason vampires would not cast a reflection if the mirror was made of silver.

You should definitely do a follow-up to this and do werewolfs in Hellsing.

Actually the reason Dracula is does not die in sunlight is because that weakness wasn’t introduced until the movie Nosferatu and vampires existed in folklore to make sure parents got their children baptized or else when they died they would come back as vampires and kill them and vampires being nocturnal had to do with the fact that humans don’t see well in the dark and so you become more aware and you become nervous and ready for danger so the idea of going for a walk at night becomes terrifying if you believe there are monsters in the dark but the day feels safe because you can see clearly.

Fyi, for the reason vampires didn't cast reflections in mirrors is because mirrors were sometimes made of polished silver. Silver being considered a pure/holy metal. Just gives a bit more weight and is kind of a vampire Easter egg

Every time Twilight is mentioned in an Hellsing video, I hope to see Alucard Vs Edward...

I think most people can agree that the dub was actually pretty decent for Hellsing and Hellsing Ultimate.

This Gateway that's on his stomach could be a contract

I know this is a few months late, but I had a contribution that I thought was cool. So with the whole "Vampires can't be seen in mirrors" thing, a theory came up that it didn't actually have to do with vampires not having a soul, but with how the mirrors themselves were made. Mirrors back in the day were commonly made using silver as it was a highly reflective surface. I don't need to explain the whole thing with vampires and silver since you did in the video. Nowadays, mirrors are commonly made using aluminum. So in theory, vampires would be able to be seen in reflections. Biggest counterpoint I know to that theory is that because werewolves are also weak to silver, they also should not be able to be seen in silver-back mirrors. The reasoning for that might be that it's a combination of silver-back mirrors and the vampires not having souls, but I digress. It's still cool to consider.

Hey! So, about the vampires having no reflections--back in the day, like Victorian Era, mirrors were always backed with silver. As you've stated yourself, silver is bad for vampires and most monsters of the night. So silver backed mirrors would never cast a vampire's reflection. But nowadays, aluminum is used to back mirrors! Although, some modern mirrors still use silver backing, most would show a vampire's reflection!

To be fair, alucard is basically, in game terms, a guy who has grind exp for 500 years and his hp pool not only is ridiculously but has also like 100 hp bars and has unlocked every single skill and buff

It is a gateway a way for the king of vampires to summon these vicious merciless unforgiving creatures

In the og Dracula novel, Count Dracula is decapitated and stabbed with a knife, not a wooden stake, so you don’t need one to kill a vampire. I feel like this could be an advantage because you don’t need to go looking for a wooden stake and a knife is just so much easier to use.

another neat example of vampire lore is the warhammer fantasy vampires

There is one scene where Seras looks into a mirror and sees her reflections after she has been made into a vampire.

Couple of mistakes here, unfortunately: 1. Decapitation does in fact kill a true vampire. As does piercing a vampire's heart. The reason Alucard survived both of those things is the army of extra lives he had sealed within him. Had someone managed to decapitate him during his level 0 release, he in all likelihood would have died. 2. Turning into animals is something that's oddly rare in Hellsing. I believe the only time it's ever done in the show is when Alucard dissolves his decapitated body into a swarm of bats during his first fight with Anderson. The black hound Alucard can use, meanwhile, is simply another one of his familiars. It's an actual demonic dog - the hound of baskerville - that Alucard consumed at some point. It is not him turning into a dog at all. 3. Another aspect of vampires is that their regeneration seems to depend on the age and/or overall power of the vampire. Even after his level 0 release, Alucard could continuously regenerate his limbs during his fight with Walter. Meanwhile, even during the epilogue 30 years after the main story, Seras was still unable to properly regenerate her left arm. It's also possible that injuries the vampire had before drinking blood and becoming a true vampire are more difficult to heal. Hence why Seras could regenerate her right hand just fine after losing it in her fight against the Captain, but the left arm she lost before become a true vampire remains gone.

Make no mistake, Alucard was strong as hell when Van Hellsing defeated hum, but then experimented on him to make him nigh unstoppable. If Hellsing wanted, they could theoretically take control of every militaty power just by sending Alucard via a warship with soil in his pocket.

Fascinating. Well done. I look forward to further expansions upon this.

I read somewhere that Vampires can come back if the wood stake is taken out of their heart or it rots away. This could probably be what happened to Drac, maybe a Silver stake is more suited for a permanent death.

weird thing, it might've just been a mistake, but only full-fledged and artificial vampires don't get reflected in the mirror, after all, seras did when she woke up after just getting turned into a vampire in ep. 1, but luke didn't when he was attacking the mansion in ep. 2

I'm glad he didn't include the powers Alucard got by being experimented on

I’m watching this again. Thank you for showing the dub as it was excellent

I mean Dracula in the novel was stabbed in the heart with a kukiri knife and had his neck slashed with the neck wound being the killing blow from Quincy Morris. It's also stated in the novel that if vampires don't sleep in the dirt of their homeland they cannot truly rest and regain their strength. Basically they can't sleep and become weaker overtime. Overall good video though.
