#'numb' I say while vomiting a tidal wave of Harker-centric story plots into the Documents

[see-arcane]

I have only watched the Hellsing OVAs, and something interesting is that Alucard compares Anderson to the Crew Of Light (only the men though, sigh). He says although they were mere humans, they possessed the will to destroy a monster such as himself. So Alucard looks forward to being killed by a gallant human like him.

This changes when Anderson chooses to use the Nail of Helena on himself to become a monster on an equal level to Alucard. With Anderson having sacrificed all of his humanity in exchange for power, Alucard says Anderson is no longer worthy of being the one to destroy him.

This is a good concept, and is why things like the sidelining of Mina irk me; she fought so hard not to become 100% a monster, while hunting him. Jonathan had his "a man may sleep, as a man!" resolve while climbing the cliff. And it would have felt fitting to, along with Integra, have the descendant/s of the two who clung to their humanity encounter the monster who has this "only a human can destroy a monster" principle.

At this point, the Harkers getting either sidelined or rewritten into crappy caricatures of themselves is a given in -checks notes- Every Single Dracula adaptation and/or spinoff

So I'm kind of numb to it at this point
