Alucard is Dracula is Vlad the Impaler

[nolifeking66]

Although Alucard, Dracula, and Vlad the Impaler are all the same man, they are three different characters. I would like to discuss each character's individual personalities and motivations, how each character made a transition into the next, and how each transition affected the the story.

Vlad had spent his entire life fighting and protecting

Spot on, and I'm sure many here will agree with you.

This is, of course, precisely why he's not dead yet.

[nolifeking66]

There is evidence supporting his death and evidence supporting his possible return. I'm not subscribing to either, at the moment. I'm waiting to see what happens.

Damn I hope your right. It's not the right time to kill off the main protagonist.

I'm pretty sure he'll come back.... like a man! ^_^

[bigbad88]

*grins* It's posts like this that make me love this fandom.

I completely agree with everything you've said here.

[momoiro_candy]

What can I say more? Those are exactly my thoughts ;)

[draculard]

I think that once he finds himself, as a man, he will come back as one. Atleast I'm hoping....I'm also hoping he will dies as one too.

Your opinion is very good, I agree with most, but there are somethings thta could be argued. But other, very nice! you must have raelly thought about this. (well, I do, but I have things to do so I wouldn't be able to sit and write about it XP).

I've never been particularly fond of the idea of Alucard coming back as a human being because that would erase his entire reason for hating himself so much. It would be like giving him a second chance to live a normal life and die a normal death. It would be too happy an ending for me to handle.

If I've made some points that can be argued, by all means, argue them. I want to know what other people think, regardless of whether they agree or disagree with me (because sometimes I learn a thing or two that I didn't know before). Just expect me to defend my points (until I can't defend them anymore).

well, you said "However, he does not want to die as the monster he's become. He wants to become, in essence, the man he once was. He wants to redeem himself."

so if he did come back as a human, there it is. He can reedem himself and die peacefully as a human. But if he does, that beats off the whole "Only a human can kill a monster" because if he comes back as a human, he'll die like a human. Schro is not Human, so that defenatly scratches off this being Alucard's defeat.

Also, If he does become human, I don't think he will get a second chace at life. After living 500+ years, who wants to live anymore?

Hope that made sense, I'm better at arguing things when its in person, i'm not good with writing XP

Well, you said "However, he does not want to die as the monster he's become. He wants to become, in essence, the man he once was. He wants to redeem himself."

The key words there were "in essence" because, as far as Alucard knows, there is no way for a vampire to become human again "in body". Personally, I don't think there should be. However, if Hirano does decide to bring him back as a human, I can't think of a better way he could possibly do it than to have him reimagine his entire existence.

Schro is not Human, so that defenatly scratches off this being Alucard's defeat.

Schrödinger didn't kill Alucard. The Major did. Schrödinger was merely an extension of the Major's will. He was a tool that the Major used to kill Alucard in much the same way that Alucard was a tool that Integra used to kill vampires.

Also, If he does become human, I don't think he will get a second chace at life. After living 500+ years, who wants to live anymore?You've got a good point, there. However, I meant that he could have a second chance to live a

Even though i disagree in what Hellsing is about, i agree with the whole rest. I do not see Alucard as the main caracter, but one of the major caracters in Hellsing, therefore i don`t think Hellsing is about Alucard. But,i think its a big side plot.

[paperclipchains]

What do you think hellsing is about, and who are the other major players, then?

[hellsing999]

Kill me if you must, but... i rather think Hellsing is about Seras.
The first episode of the anime and the first chapter of the manga were both about Seras`s first appearance, and a brief introduction. She was turned, and with that, the plot started.
Dureing the next 90 chapters, some of her past was revealed, her problems about being vampire and her inability to drink blood came forth, her first love took place and finally she was utterly defeated, only to stand back up, becomeing as strong as she never wanted to be.
All in all, the series started with her, and its possible that her death will be the end of the series.

I know many Integra fangirls might be screaming in rage now, some might come up with the "Twisted Love" thing and some might just secretly hate me, but thats what i think, deal with it. :p

[nolifeking66]

I agree that Seras is one of the series's main characters. However, I fail to see how she could possibly be considered the primary focus of the manga (although it was easy to see that she was the main focus of the original anime). I also fail to see why you think she will die at the end of the series. Seras was turned into a vampire in order to replace Alucard after he dies (whether he did this intentionally or subconsciously, I don't presume to know). Her survival is almost a sure thing.
