ALUCARD
AL
The most powerful weapon the Hellsing Organization has, which is to say the most powerful vampire in existence, which is to say something that has been accumulating power for centuries and can release it in ways the show deploys with full theatrical commitment. Red coat, round tinted glasses, guns that have no right to be that large. Bound to the Hellsing family by an ancient oath and apparently content with that arrangement, or at least performing contentment convincingly enough that nobody has tested what happens if it lapses. Alucard fights with the enthusiasm of something that has been waiting a very long time for opponents worth the effort. Most enemies do not clear that bar. A few do. Those are the interesting episodes.

Luke's confidence makes sense right up until Alucard stops indulging him. He is fast, capable and far beyond the disposable artificial vampires Hellsing has been killing. Then Alucard releases more of what the restrictions keep contained. The fight works because Luke is strong enough to reveal the gap rather than weak enough to be a joke.
