Time For A Bite To Drink
Monsters, madness and all manner of macabre imagery; the world of Hellsing is certainly a bloody one, and we love every second of it. After all, its action scenes are so visceral that they make gore look stylish, not to mention the fact that our lead is a gun-wielding Dracula who spends his nights shooting down Nazi vampires and psychotic Catholic Crusaders. It’s unrepentant, illuminates the savagery of man and religion, and gave us one of medium’s best interpretation of bloodsuckers.
Alucard’s rampages are legendary among anime fans, but which of his crimson-clad antics stand out as the most memorable?
Fair warning, there are MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!
#3: Alucard vs. Anderson
The Vampire King and the Judas Priest have enjoyed one hell of a rivalry over the series. However, it finally came to a head when Anderson tipped the balance. Much to Alucard’s chagrin, Anderson uses the nail that slew Jesus to turn himself into a divine monster. For a moment it looks like Alucard is about to meet his maker, but he manages to come back from the brink and kill his beloved nemesis by tearing out his heart with his bare hands. Yikes.
#2: Seras Victoria vs. Zorin Blitz
Alucard’s fledgling certainly had a few badass moments to her name before this, but she still remained somewhat of a meek police girl who was terrified of giving into her vampiric side. That all changed when Millennium officer Zorin Blitz invaded Hellsing headquarters, kills her love interest, mutilated her, and made her relieve the memory of how her parents were murdered and violated. After that, she pretty much says “screw it†and becomes the second most powerful vampire in all of creation. Zorin didn’t last long after that.
#1: The Major’s Speech
It is literally a six minute speech about a deranged Nazi major talking about how he loves war. And yet…we love it. How is that possible? He is the most despicable of people, and yet the longer he goes on we can’t help but be enraptured by his every word. By the time it finishes, not only have our souls been ripped out of our bodies, we are almost at the point of cheering. No wonder this villain is one of anime’s best!
