* Alucard's reaction when he learns he's been wounded for a year, while his father has rampaged against the humans, and that Trevor and Sypha can help him kill Dracula.

He clearly doesn't want to fight his father, but the only other choice is to let Wallachia burn.

* The death of the bishop can be a little sad, not because he didn't deserve it but because neither Dracula nor Alucard was the one to do the deed or even knew who the guy was.

* And immediately afterward, Dracula lashes out and severely wounds ''his own son.''
