* BadassLongcoat

to:

* BadassLongcoat[[spoiler:BackForTheFinale]]
* BadassLongcoat:A [[BringMyRedJacket red one]], adding to the gore by allowing many regenerations of his limbs. Though not the only one; the villainous equivalent is the Captain.



* BadassMustache: [[spoiler:When Alucard releases all the restraints, he actually looks somewhat like Vlad Tepes, including the mustache. Not quite as impressive as the one in the famous portrait of him, but it would be difficult to take him seriously with that thing.]]
* BerserkButton: Alucard doesn't seem to have many, but Anderson finds one when [[spoiler:the latter uses Helena's Nail to gain the power to defeat the former. Alucard is outright ''furious'' at Anderson for throwing away his humanity in order to defeat him, saying that Anderson has become just like Alucard: a monster. For the record, Alucard believes that only a human can defeat a monster, hence his rage at Anderson using Helena's Nail.]] Also, whenever someone escapes his bloodthirsty counterattacks by committing suicide. Well, he gets very angry at least.Likewise, never, ''Never'', '''NEVER''' insult, threaten, or harm Integra whenever he's nearby. It ''[[TooDumbToLive will]]'' [[TooDumbToLive be the last thing you'll do.]] Case in point, Enrico Maxwell once called Integra a "Sow" prompting Alucard to, albeit politely, tell Maxwell that he'll personally kill him for insulting his master. Or betray him or her. He can't stand traitors.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Alucard is very much ''not'' of this opinion.
* BloodKnight: He just LOVES to fight all kind of enemies. The harder the more fun it'll be.
* BloodyMurder: Alucard practically puts his blood through gymnastics using it as a weapon

* NotSoDifferent: Alucard admits he and the Major are alike in volume 4 as incorrigible warmongers.

His comparison with [[spoiler:Anderson]] in volume 9 is far more accurate.

I have read Dracula thank you which Hirano has changed plenty. His reason for being in the dungeon had nothing to do with Dracula. Read the Dawn for what was he actually doing in Arthur's time. Alucard fought Nazis in WWII to stop them from making vampires and winning the war. How evil. Arthur Hellsing actually had no real reason to place him there only that he found him 'addictive' and probably there was no reason to have him around. He's not quite evil, either. He and Anderson aren't too different.

** Subverted. Nothing is really holding him in that cell, the door was open. Aligment wise, it's more the case of SealedGoodInACan for Integra's sake and actual SealedBadassInACan in general, because Alucard has not done anything ''wrong'' unlike his Tv series counterpart.
