What happened to Alucard?

So I finished the Hellsing manga awhile ago, and the ending confused me a bit... Did Alucard actually die?... because I've heard people explaining different theories about this, some saying that he died, and others that he actually just turned into an omnipotent god/being after consuming Schrodinger(little werewolf dude, that was everywhere and nowhere).

I'd like to know your opinions as well. I'd personally like to stick with the omnipotent theory, but it seems a little farfetched... what do you guys think?

Uhm...pretty damn sure he's a live. o-o

Why I'm right here.

But seriously I haven't finished the manga yet but from what I've heard from other readers he's pretty much omnipotent by the end of the series.

Here is exactly what happens



And that's all I have to say about that.

He is indeed omnipotent after consuming Scrhödinger, as he is everywhere and nowhere, so he is alive and as long as he belives himself to be immortal he is.

Dunno how anyone could think he was dead.

Could you give a link to the info of him returning after 20 years? Also, if he spent all those years killing all personas except himself, wouldnt that weaken him?... i mean eliminating all the victims would mean eliminating not only their conscience, but also their powers?.. so in 20 years, wouldnt that just make him a new Schrodinger?

Or does he effectively kill off their conscience, keeping all their knowledge and powers, and simply rebecoming the singular entity of his conscience?

Sorry for using "conscience" so much -.-

Also, wouldnt eliminating his victims make him unable to summon familiars?

Just read the last chapter.
And no, i wouldn't call him gainin true immortality weakening him, true he won't have the powers from people such as Rip Van Winkle and The Dandy Man anymore, but it's not like he needs those anyway.

So he destroyed all his powers, no more regen, no more morphing, no more familiars, no seals, no nothing... he now just has Schrodinger's power to be everywhere and nowhere? Honestly, I think that's just lame, Alucard not being the Alucard we grew accustomed to.

True, he is everywhere, but he just IS there... he can be in every atom and anywhere in the universe, but again he just IS there... he doesnt have any power over the places he's in, he just IS there... Now from what i know, that's not being OMNIPOTENT, just OMNIPRESENT.

I have no idea what you're blabbering about now, those are his powers, no one elses, he still have those along with Schrödinger's ability.

I know those are his powers, but he didnt have them when he first became a vampire... not to the extreme extent we know at least. He was a normal (albeit, the first) vampire in his early unlife, just as Seras is now. He became more and more powerfull over the ages, he aquired his victims powers, increasing his own with every person concumed.

So I think killing all those off, would just make him as he was before consuming the vast oceans of armies and people + Schrodingers ability... since Schrodinger is now his only remaining familiar.

I hope I'm wrong, as I'm a big fan of Hellisng and Alucard expecially, and I don't want to think he is lesser in the End, than before.

How do you know that? It isn't mentioned in the manga, or anywhere else as far as i know.

Im not gonna argue that he didn't grow more powerful over the ages, because that's only logical, but to claim that it's all because of the people he killed rather than due to his own skills and abilities as he grew as a vampire is something i can't agree with.

Bolded part is the key sentence here, this is all just your theories, and as far as i can remember there is no facts supporting them.

Indeed, I am just speculating and not stating that what I say is 100% true. As much as I'd like to think he is omnipotent, I just want some more logical arguments to strengthen that theory.

Why do I think his native abilities weren't as powerfull as in the present:

We know that all Millenium vampires are engineered, thus not genuine. The only genuine vampires mentioned in hellsing are Alucard, Seras, the priest and possibly the two punks (Seras' first job, although they might not be as they are too weak for fledgeling vampires, compared to Seras who was also a fledgeling at that time). So, the only "true" vampires are Alucard and Seras.

Seras grew more powerfull when she consumed Bernadotte, gaining her Alucard-like, dark red/black aura morphing ability (inferior to Alucard's though). So, in the same manner, Alucard could have developed his powers through the consumption of more and more victims. So consuming someone, would improve his native powers to an extent, therefore granting him immeasurable power (in the present), having consumed countless enemies over the ages.

I can see where you're going with this, and to a certain extent i could agree that it's possible, but seeing as how Seras "transformation" after feeding off Pip was due to the fact that she never feed off someone before, and thus with this she went from being a hatchling, in lack of better words, to becoming a full-fledged vampire, and that being the reason for her sudden power up.
The only purpose the souls Alucard had devoured, as i understod it, was giving him alot of extra lifes (it was also stated by Anderson during their final fight), and of course as being troops in his army once all of his restraints had been released.

We seem to be forgetting the fact that for over 500 years, Alucard was in the service of the Hellsing family. In those 500 years, they conducted various experiments and modifications on him. For example, when Anderson cut off Alucards head in the beginning of the series, he is assumed dead. That of course is not the case, as Integra states you'd have to do more than just drive a stake through his heart, or behead him and stuff his mouth with Garlic to kill him.

Alucard gained those morphing/shadow/etc... abilities because of the experimentation, and not through the consumption of victims. Those creepy dogs he uses to eat Luke Valentine with, the hellish shadows he uses to consume Rip van Winkle, those powers are the result of the modifications Hellsing did. Prime example of this is Hellsing OVA IV, when before he crashes that SR-71 into the ship, he releases the Cromwell intiative. Now I've no idea why it's called what it is, but I do know that it acts as a limiter for Alucards powers (and turns him into an even bigger badass). True, other powers are lent to him through the use of familiars (RVW, Schrodinger) but as was stated, those are not his original powers.

Seras, being a fledgling (good term by the way) is able to access those powers as well, but only if she willingly drinks blood. Which is why Zorin Blitz absolutely mops the floor with her at first, then Seras drinks Pips blood and we all know what happens from there.

Point is, Alucard gained the shadow morphing and summoning stuff through the Hellsing family, and Seras gets those powers as well because you can think of her as Alucard's daughter (power through genetic inheritance)

That actually makes sense...somewhat, even though it raises more questions than answer them, like how the fuck did they do that?

You got that wrong, Alucard is 500-600 years old (562 to be exact). He's been in Hellsing's service since Abraham van Hellsing defeated him as Count Dracula, and founded the Hellsing organization (which is just around 100 years old, as fact and Integra herself would point out). Also, Alucard's is originally Vlad III Dracul Tepes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlad_tepes).

Also again, Alucard's powers are not due to the experimentations. At the moment of his defeat by Abraham, he was at full power (aka Level 0 released), but he was defeated by a human because he allowed himself to, as he states in the last chapters that " a monster's destiny is to forever be defeated by humans" or something. He also states that he gave Anderson lots of chances to defeat him untill he consumed the Holy Spear Head(the one that impaled Jesus), but he also became a monster because of this, thus rendering him unable of defeating Alucard.


The only result of the experimentation Alucard has undergone, are the Cromwell Seals, a way to limit his use of power (not the power itself) by placing levels of access to it that require his master's permission to be undone. Only one thing do I find uncertain in this... why would they lock him up in the cellar under the excuse of him being too powerfull to control? It must mean he found a way to bypass the limiters and regain full acces to his powers without permission. If so, then maybe he doesn't use it because of the blood pact he and Integra made, and grew to be loyal to her because of that and the mutual respect they share for one another, and because he began to understand humans and feel compasion for them.

I stand corrected

interesting case though

its been what close to 50 years since WW2?

since he was girlycard and walter was still a stunning killer

the thing is though i think authur locked up alucard until he was needed in time of great peril since i think the major point at that time in WW2 was midian nazi soldier experiments

to that point integra almost killed by her uncle and the rise of the major haha

still want maor hellsing dawn

girlycard and walter area great comedy pair

oh and regarding the battle after london (fyi 30 not 20 years)

the 3,424,867 lives was the point of alucards immortality

integra mentions the soul as coinage or such thing in the passage of life

alexander exclaims that is why he cannot be killed because of all the souls he has consumed

alucard killed all but one and that was when he truly consumed schrodinger
but make no mistake he has all his powers but now he only has one life left

Question. Has anybody fully translated the WWII series one yet? I've only got to some certain point before it seemed to have stopped.

There's only been six chapters of The Dawn, and they've all been translated.
It was supposed to be finished after the main Hellsing story had been finished, which it has been for quite some time now, so hopefully we'll see a new chapter soon enough.
