** When the four first arrive in Ta'akan, they have a frightening experience in the Owner's Head Tavern when an enormous BarBrawl erupts around them. When they leave the city for the last time (not counting when Ringo accidentally teleports back there), they have dinner in the Owner's Head and laugh at how tame the nightly brawl seems now.

She departs in much the same fashion, only the rumors swirling round her now are much less pleasant. Rather than whispering about her supposed connections to [[CelebrityLie celebrities and famous figures]], everyone's gossiping about her potential connections to Marinette's disappearance, [[GossipEvolution wildly speculating]] that she might be involved in ''human trafficking'' and other horrific endeavors. She's still the center of attention, just like [[AttentionWhore she's always wanted]]... but without any of the ''admiration'' she desired.

Hellsing Ultimate Abridged is a Web Video, not a fanfic, so it belongs in the Web Videos page.


* ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'' starts out with what is blatantly footage from ''Manga/OnePiece'' before a static cut to [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Edward and Bella]] making out in a house full of bodies. The final episode has Integra reveal that a sequel series called ''Two Piece'' is going, with its main character Buffy being seen as a questionable successor.
