Vlad's family was sealed For the knights, the task is to protect Christianity from paganism and Ottoman. Vlad himself also fought the Ottoman Empire, defending his religious tradition and territory with blood and brutality. Hellsing's story characters are set to some extent similar to this, should be the author Intentionally. This setting gives Alucard a bizarre color on the edge of good and evil: he is a terrible murderer, a noble of vampires, and a loyal guardian of Protestantism and England. To defend the Queen's Protestant territory, allegiance to hellsing The family's Alucard blood washes all the filth that may defile the queen's nobility, no matter whether the other party is human or demon. His appearance is always bloody, and blood flows into rivers wherever he goes. He turns into a vicious dog of hell, using the most violent way, dust to dust, earth to earth, tidy up the disrupted order, and realize God's will.
As a queen and defender of Protestantism, Integra Hellsing is a nobleman among human beings. He was one of the knights of the round table since childhood. Accepting her father's words and deeds in the family's castle, and experiencing her uncle's conspiracy to usurp the throne, Integra, as a noble, made all her decisions based on the fact that the dignity of the queen and the family must not be tarnished, even if the cost was her own life. All allegiance to Integra comes from this family honor that flows in the blood. She is strict with trusted subordinates and treats them like siblings. The TV version shows Integra's tenacity and spirit as an English nobleman very well; OVA But the character faded away.
In the scene of Integra awakening Alucard in TV, Alucard did not surrender immediately to the teenage girl, but tried to test her through threats. Integra did not live up to his fine blood, and resolutely refused to surrender to Alucard under the condition of injury, Because the descendants of the noble Hellsing will never obey a goblin. Alucard surrenders.
This scene is crucial for two characters: Alucard, as the supreme vampire, has boundless mana, he can choose not to submit to any People, but the more noble people are, the more they pay attention to promises. The so-called gentleman is hard to follow. And because he is a noble, he can only serve the master who has the virtues that convince him. Although the young Integra has no power to restrain the chicken , but has the responsibility of the human nobility, resolutely unyielding when his life is on the line. This scene is the basis of the master-servant relationship between Alucard and Integra: their relationship is a contract between nobles, as individuals submit to a higher order, a kind of Glory, not personal emotion, and not from oppression.
In addition to the TV version, there are many bloodlines. Alucard scoffs at the low-level vampires who are from humble and greedy backgrounds and who turn people into ghoul subordinates without restraint. Self The relationship between temperance and the nobleness of blood has a long history. In the Greek and Roman tradition, the nobles drink alcohol first and then drink it, because drunkenness is a very vulgar thing; and greedy and gluttonous people often face the end of being killed in mythology. Integra even interprets the paranoia about blood to the extreme: she was bitten by the bastards and committed suicide, because she would never allow her blood to be tainted. In today's context, perhaps only Japan Will understand, accept and perform brilliantly.
Ova's storyline is great from episode 6 onwards, but in terms of characters, Integra's aristocratic undertones are toned down and replaced by broad combat and bloodlust, Integra's character struggles become The struggles of human nature and bloodlust that are common in anime, without the unique and historical sense of the TV version. The history of the piercing man appeared completely on Alucard. I was sodomized when I was young. I think it's a bit too much.
