added Mirror Character trope for Alucard and Anderson

Added DiffLines:

* MirrorCharacter: Even more than in the original, Alucard and Anderson. They come up with the same jokes unintentionally, both love fighting and killing, and both disobey their commanding officer's orders at a whim. It's likely that [[spoiler: Alucard prior to losing his faith was indistinguishable from Anderson currently.]]

* RoboticReveal: In the final episode, Integra finds the fact [[spoiler:the Major]] is a cyborg so profoundly stupid that she spends the following ''thirty years'' having research carried by the Catholic Church and studying cybernetics just to understand HOW and WHY exactly he was a cyborg. Even Alucard himself seems to agree with her on the sheer absurdity of it.

In addition, Lanipator released on his own channel five days previous him singing a song for the secret premiere, the song being the anthem for ''One Piece'' that is ''We Are''. Once again not alluding to anything, but still strongly suggesting it was ''One Piece''. This comes full circle as Lanipator's karaoke version of ''We Are'' is the credits song for the first episode of Creator/TeamFourStar's ''Hellsing Ultimate Abridged''.
