Hellsing/Trivia

• Adaptation-Induced Plothole: In his fight with Alucard, Luke is shown to have a strong Healing Factor, surviving a head shot. However he is unable to regenerate his legs. In the manga this inconsistency could be explained by the fact that Casull inflicted the head shot, while his legs were shot off by Jackal. In the OVA, Jackal was the cause of all three wounds.
  • For those of you who do not know the names: he used a MUCH better gun for the leg shots in the manga, and a more standard one for the headshot.
    • Luke simply ran out of regeneration fuel. Alucard has hundreds of thousand souls to get life force from, hence the Healing Factor. Luke is a young vampire and probably hasn't killed a lot of humans yet. On top of that, he's an artificial vampire, and they all suck.
    • There was no headshot in the manga; he shot him in the stomach with the Casull, just like in the Anime. As for the wounds themselves, Seras' injury in the 7th OVA/Volume shows it's much easier to heal a bullet wound than a fully-severed limb, which may be the cause.
  • In the 8th Volume of the manga, Alucard, in trying to kill Anderplant, never thinks to shoot him in the heart; in the OVA, he does. The problem: Anderplant and the nail regenerate the wound. This creates a Plot Hole because the next Volume/OVA features Alucard ripping his heart out by hand, something which won't make sense in the OVA because it would appear to be a regenerable wound.
    • Not necessarily. The regeneration power may be enough to fix a hole in the organ, but not enough to replace an organ that has been completely ripped out. Especially if the nail remains attached to the heart, rather than Anderson himself.
• Follow the Leader: Several incidents in the anime are referenced in later chapters of the manga, including the Jackal's destruction, Alucard "dying", Alucard releasing to his highest for at Integra's behest, England reduced to burning rubble, impaling, Walter's "brainwashing", and the revelation that Alucard is Vlad (III) Dracula. Even if some were obvious.
• Hey, It's That Voice!: Alucard and Rip Van Winkle contributed their voices to Tales of Symphonia as Regal Bryant and Raine Sage. Despite being voiced by different people in the sequel, this makes it Hilarious in Hindsight that Raine and Regal are falsely implied to be in a romantic relationship. Speaking of said sequel, Schroedinger and female lead Marta Lualdi share a voice actor, as does Marta's father, Brute, with Enrico Maxwell via J.B. Blanc. Pip himself is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, who voiced main protagonist Luke Fon Fabre and Asch in Tales of the Abyss.
  • And in the original Japanese, it sometimes gets hard to take him seriously when he's also a red frog trying to take over the world.
