Hellsing/Awesome

• The Major: "My friends, it has often been said that I like war."
  • Also counts as a Rousing Speech. Definitely a villainous rousing speech, but still.
• Of course we must not forget Seras Victoria's acquisition of a level in badass when she, blinded, maimed, and mindraped by Zorin, finally took the freely offered blood (and soul) of a mortally wounded Pip. Her eyes grew back, a mass of shadow emerged from the stump of her missing arm, and she proceeded to tear through the SS vampires that had overrun Hellsing manor before taking Zorin and literally grinding her head against the wall until it was gone.
• Hell, Pip himself is a walking CMOA. Among the many awesome things he does:
  • Pick a Rousing Speech by Pip Bernadotte. Any Rousing Speech. The man would make Winston Churchill proud.
  • Blowing up the entire tent full of Millenium's Brazillian co-conspirators. And doing a classically Badass Unflinching Walk away from it, cigarette in hand.
  • Knocking out Zorin with the butt of his rifle. If that doesn't seem impressive, remember that Zorin is one of the most elite of Millenium's vampire soldiers, and Pip is just an ordinary human.
  • Showing up Millenium's army of SS vampires with the simple, blunt use of claymores, machine guns, and open terrain.
  • And as mentioned above, in his final moments, he gives Seras the chance to take a level in badass and pull her own Crowning Moment of Awesome.
  • He even gets one after that when Seras is fighting the werewolf. Nothing can stop Pip from being badass not even death
  • Even his cameo in the epilogue is awesome. A nameless Iscariot mook informs his superiors about Hellsing weak defenses and nil security system. A wall is punched and suddenly the entire walls and ceiling is covered in shadows. The masculine voice complains about that 'hurt'. Pip, called as Seras' Shadow, is said to be wrapping the entire headquarters. Who needs another security system and killable guards when you have Pip Bernadotte?
• Only a paragraph during Alucard's Flashback, but his statement that Abraham Van Hellsing was the only who managed to take him down when he went all out and was (one of) the reason(s) he firmly believed only a human could destroy a monster like him. That alone put the founder of Hellsing as the single, most badass being in the entire Hellsing-verse. That he was only a doctor was the icing on the cake.
• Let's not forget the most obvious Badass himself, as evidenced by the fourth episode of the OVA, wherein Alucard engages in battle with a warship filled with vampire Nazis by flying an SR-71 Blackbird into it. At almost Mach 3 (The exact speed is Mach 2.8). While perched on its nose. Damn.
  • • See video of the aforementioned here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alrfh Mynnuw
    • And then he literally bites the bullet and, while he has the bullet between his teeth, he grins sadistically and says to Rip Van Winkle: Guess what I just caught.
  • There's also his famous line... "If I'm a dog... Then you're dog food!"
    • "You were a piece of shit as a man. Now you can be dog shit."
  • ... Did we forget to mention that he cuts people up with only his FINGERTIPS...
  • Alucard's rant at Luke Valentine: "What's the matter? You're only missing your legs. Come on. Call out your familiar! Transform your body! Regenerate your legs and stand! Pick up your gun and fight back! Come, the night's still young. The game's just beginning. Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, HURRY!"
  • Another great Alucard line is probably the following: (While fighting the anime's Big Bad) "I'll send you to the deepest pits of Hell, and while you're there, you can lick the Devil's ass, Incognito!"
• Count Penwood, the commander of London security, gets one in the fifth episode of the OVA, when he admits being a "coward" and only getting this job because of his birth rather than any abilities, then staying in the HQ to face an army of vampires. He even tries to shoo out the rest of the officer staff to safety, which they obviously refuse, making this a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, as well.
  • Just as epic is his final words: After being shot in the chest and both shoulders, he lifts up the detonator and glares at the vampire screaming at him not to blow the place up: "I. Will. Not. Stop." Cue Flashback Cut just before the Bang Bang BANG of enough plastic explosives to ensure everything in the building is Deader Than Dead.
    • "Listen, to all humans who are receiving my final broadcast, this is my final order: Fight... until you've fulfilled your mission."
      • In the manga: I am afraid I cannot comply with your request
• And then, there is the Big Damn Heroes moment by Anderson & Co. at the end of OVA episode five. This Troper was so awed by his speech that accompanied it that he barely payed attention to the actual asskicking. Who said psychotic paladins can't be awesome?
  • Doubles somewhat as a CMOF as Integra is just standing on the sidelines during the whole speech with nothing more than a annoyed look on her face. She doesn't even bother to react to the shots that almost hit her.
• Seras Victoria using an 88mm Flak Cannon to try and kill the Major. Damn. In his words a "Fantastic Choice!"
  • Seras performing her best impersonation of a AAA battery with a pair of 30 mm cannons stated to weigh over 700 pounds.
• The original animated series had another one for Alexander Anderson, in the episode "Duel." A vampire starts walking up a subway car, with a bunch of ghouls in tow. He steps through a door, screams, and then falls to the ground with a dozen bayonets in his face. Anderson steps into the subway car, grins, and begins flinging bayonets, while quoting the Bible in his amazingly awesome voice:

"And now, O Kings, be ye wise. Be admonished, ye judges of the earth! Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling! Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his wrath be swiftly kindled. AMEN."

• • Anderson gets a great big CMOA all to himself upon Alucard's return to London. His final stand against Alucard has him battle valiantly against Alucard in Release State 0, tear through swathes of the undead army just to get to Alucard whilst almost being killed in the process, then sacrificing his own life to become what is essentially a monster born of God's powers. Even his death is a CMOA: Alucard shows him genuine respect for his total determination, even if he did turn himself into a monster.
• Integra, telling a group of evil Nazi vampires to not underestimate humans. And to come at her. So that she can fight them. She even impresses Anderson.
  • Additionally, the scene pretty soon afterwards when Integra enlists Anderson and a group of Icariot members as her personal escorts through sheer force of will.
  • And Integra, upset and furious after watching Alucard vanish, removes her coat and duels the Major in a Shut UP, Hannibal way. She unflinchingly takes a grazing shot and kills the man with a single bullet and proceeds to tell him that all his ideas are warped and wrong. That Alucard "will return!" She was right
• At the end of the second episode of the OVA, Jan Valentine manages to finally make hs way past what's left of Hellsing security, and bursts into the conference room of the Convention of Twelve. Who are all armed to the teeth and aiming their guns right at him, with Integra smirking. Jan manges to get off a single expletive before the Convention perforates him. Awesome.

"You made it! Congratulations."

• Walter in the second volume taking on Jan Valentine and his army of ghouls, literally cutting them down, with these words: "I highly recommend pissing yourself, followed by a round of praying to your impotent god."
• In the TV series, Seras does battle with a wolf/vamp hybrid creature in the final episodes. She kills him by shoving a special grenade in his mouth. And her quote while the monster's choking on the bomb.

Seras: "...And on your way to hell...I want you to BEG for forgiveness for what you have done."

• This troper could go on for ages about how many incredibly awesome lines Integra gets throughout the Hellsing's various iterations. Not the least awesome of which comes from the TV Series:

Integra: "These monsters dare to enter this house built on blood and honor! I will see them all roast in the deepest pits of Hell!"

• • In episode 10, how she fearlessly tells Alucard off.
• Let's be honest, Alucard gets far more oppurtunities to show off how very hard core he is - but the Major dismisses Zorin's claims that Integra and Seras will be easy prey, by saying that he considers them to be on the same level as Alucard. That is how bad ass the two leading ladies are.
  • Alucard himself believed so, just seconds before they started taking the Zeppelin down together while he fought Walter.
• From OVA 8, the whole scene with the Major conducting the war looked awesome. He was just going through all the gestures like he was literally making a symphony, ignored Doc completely, and didn't even flinch when a helicopter came to shoot him down. He already knew that Walter was going to help him out. It was definitely impressive to watch.
