Hellsing Ultimate Abridged (abbreviated as HUA) is Team Four Star's second abridged series, a fan-based parody of the Hellsing: Ultimate OVA series, based on the Hellsing manga by Kouta Hirano.

Up until 2014, it was released on Takahata101's Youtube channel as their Halloween Special, usually after October 31 on the first week of November during Youmacon. While Episode Six did not air in Fall 2015, it was announced that two episodes will be released per year. Starting with Episode 6 released on January 2016, followed by Episode 7 on New Year's Eve 2016. In 2017, for the first time on the show's run, an episode of Hellsing Ultimate Abridged aired in October, just in time for Halloween.

In a TFS News, it was revealed that Episode 9 will be the final episode of the series. Episode 9 was splitted into 2 parts however, making HUA, ironically, 10 episodes long. The opening theme for the first four episodes of the series is Party Party Party by Andrew W.K., originally first used on Aqua Teen Hunger Force that was aired on Cartoon Network and developed by Adult Swim. The fifth episode uses War! by Edwin Starr.The sixth, seventh and eighth episodes, however, do not use an opening theme, but instead just show the Hellsing Ultimate Abridged titlecard, although "Party Party Party" makes a return partway through episode 8.

References[]

Episode 1: Psych, Hitler![]

  • The title is a reference to the Nostalgia Critic's review of the 1990 Captain America.
  • The very start of the episode begins with a scene from the anime "One Piece". This has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the series and was originally meant to fool a live audience at Youmacon 2010 into thinking that TeamFourStar were starting a One Piece Abridged Series.
  • The series starts with a vampire couple kissing. The female vampire is called "Bella" and the male is called "Edward". This is a reference to the Twilight series of books written by Stephenie Meyer.
  • When Alucard shoots Seras Victoria through the heart to kill the vampire priest, part of the song "You Give Love a Bad Name" by Bon Jovi is played.
  • On the first episode, Alucard equates his situation to House of the Dead, except, "a hundred times more awesome."
  • Alexander Anderson quotes Boondock Saints, twice, which Alucard calls out as being such. (both times from the infamous court scene at the end of the movie almost word-for-word, in case you were wondering)
  • After Alucard's head is cut off, Eddie Riggs' (Voiced by Jack Black in the video game, Brutal Legend) voice can be heard screming "Decapitation!"
  • Both Frankenberry and Count Chocula are mentioned in the first episode by Alexander and Alucard, stating that they're their favorite cereals respectively.
  • Instead of reciting passages from the Holy Bible while chasing Seras, Anderson recites a slightly altered version of the chorus of "Written in My Face" by Jim Johnston and Sean Jenness.

Episode 2: Bullet From Your Valentine[]

  • At the start of the second episode, Integra asks Alucard how his mission in Japan was, which he replies to by saying that it was 99.9% done. This would imply that Alucard is responsible for the zombie outbreak in the manga/anime Highschool of the Dead.
  • When Integra mentions Alucard killing "at least a dozen innocent people," Alucard responds by stating that Anthony Hopkins got away with the same thing and won an Oscar for it, possibly referencing his role in Silence of the Lambs as Hannibal Lecter.
  • Dairy Queen is mentioned in a list of Alucard's damages.
  • Alucard watches Adventure Time on Netflix.
  • When Luke Valentine confronts Alucard, the latter states "And I'm Carmen Sandiego, guess where I am!", a reference to the Carmen Sandiego franchise.
  • When Seras is ripping through ghouls, Rob Zombies Dragula is playing.
  • Alucard references Stinkmeaner from The Boondocks when he overpowers Luke, saying, "You were talking all that good shit a second ago"
  • On speaker phone, as Alucard is eviscerating Luke, he narrates as if he is hosting Epic Meal Time.
  • Jan references different names of famous fictional butlers when talking to Walter.
  • The Colossus battle theme from God of War II OST plays while Alucard fights against Luke.

Episode 3: The Crimson Fuckr[]

  • At the beginning of the third episode, Alucard answers the original Van Hellsing's accusations by with "The Aristocrats" a reference to an old joke wherein a family goes to a talent scout/agency with their family act, often depicted through blow-by-blow accounts or live performance, all sorts of incredibly vile, infamous, or illegal acts, and when asked what it was called, they would respond, as Alucard did, "The Aristocrats", in reference to the fact that, historically, many nobles believed themselves above the law. (As a side-note, this is practically three-quarters of the plot of Harry Potter, when it comes to many of the Golden Trio's enemies and their troubles with the nepotic Magical Government)
  • On the third episode, Alucard says "Hey kids, wanna see a dead body?" Which could be a reference to Stand by Me in which Vern Tessio asks a similar question.
  • Enrico Maxwell, during his exchange with Integra, states that Integra's church has had no problems exploiting Rupert Murdoch.
  • The song "I Know You Want Me" by Pitbull plays while Alucard, Pip and Seras are travelling to Brazil.
  • Alucard hypnotizes a hotel attendant and makes him say that White Chicks was amazing. Pip, apparently, disagrees.
  • Alucard also hypnotizes the attendant into saying that Chevy Chase is an asshole.
  • A news reporter says Alucard looks like Ozzy Osbourne.
  • Alucard screams "Hit me with your best shot!" which is an oft-used movie line and the title of a song by Pat Benatar.
  • Both Tubalcain "The Dandy Man" Alhambra and Alucard make references to Yu-Gi-Oh!, stating, "You activated my trap card." and "You activated my Alu-Card." (A pun on the former) respectively. Amongst other puns...
  • When the "French Man" kills the people in the tent, screams from team fortress 2 can be heard.
  • When Integra visits @TheCrimsonFuckr, in similar to TheCrimsonFucker, Crispin Freeman and Patrick Seitz are shown who are the voice actors of Alucard and Luke Valentine respectively.

Episode 4: Trigger Warning[]

  • As Alucard, Seras and Pip open the doors to their meeting with the queen, the song "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks is played.
  • Alucard calls the queen "Betty", which is most likely a nickname to Queen Elizabeth. He also references Princess Diana.
  • The march that plays when The Major finally appears on-screen is the Prussian Königgrätzer Marsch.
  • Rip Van Winkle writes "The cake is a lie" on the ship instead of a swastika cross. This is a reference to the video game Portal.
  • Rip Van Winkle sings "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.
  • While Van Winkle is singing, a Nazi soldier on the bridge comments that the last song was "about the ponies and the friendship and the wrapping of the winter", a reference to the song "Winter Wrap Up" from the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
  • The song "Shoot To Thrill" by AC/DC is played while Alucard attacks the ship taken over by Millennium.
  • The Social Network's version of the song "In The Hall of the Mountain King" is played when Alucard kills Rip Van Winkle.
  • Gustav Holst's "Mars the Bringer of War" is played after the Major's "I Love War" speech.

Episode 5: Lay Back and Think of Oblivion[]

  • The song "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by 'The Clash' is played at the start of the fifth episode.
  • The Doctor says that the first two pages of the Millenium guide book contains thoughts from the American actor and producer Nicolas Cage. this is a reference to Cage's role as an Arms Dealer in the film Lord of War.
  • Multiple references to the English nursery rhyme "London Bridge is Falling Down" are made, including being written as part of the actual dialogue.
  • When a Nazi Soldier asks if they should also destroy the Holocaust Museum, The Major says "leave that be no one will deny what we did" a reference to the Holocaust and potentially a reference to Holocaust deniers.
  • The Major chooses the song "War" by Edwin Starr to play while Millenium forces attack London.
  • The British band Judas Priest is referenced by Millenium soldiers when Anderson appears.
  • "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" by Dropkick Murphys starts playing at the end.

Trivia[]

  • It is suggested that Alucard was the accidental cause of the zombie infestation in Highschool of the Dead.
  • Integra states that someone must go through ten steps to kill Alucard, the first of which is decapitation.
  • Sir Integra gets dizzy if all the pictures in a hallway are tilted.
  • Seras suffers from both Pteromerhanophobia and claustrophobia: a fear of flying and tight spaces respectively.
  • Alucard often makes derogatory remarks to the Catholic religion, stating "it reeks of hypocrisy in here" when Anderson first arrives, as well as making several Catholic Priest pedophile jokes, such as "the nearest elementary school is ten kilometers away."
  • Alucard also calls Tubalcain Alhambra (The Dandy Man) "Dandy Dick" briefly after he misses an attack.
  • Unlike in the OVA and manga, Alhambra's nationality is guessed at by The Major, who calls him "a Brazilian dog". This is erroneous, due to the usage of Spanish instead of Brazil's native Portuguese. Of course, this could be due to Antfish's possible lack of knowledge of Portuguese, but nothing to fault him over.
  • The queen is nicknamed "Betty", as in Elizabeth II by Alucard. In the original series, the queen never gets named.
  • The Queen most likely spent time with Alucard when he was a woman (Girlycard) by the time line given.
  • Alucard and Anderson did find a leprechaun together and learned that leprechauns actually bleed Boo Berry.
  • Unlike in the original OVA, Maxwell does not show any pride in assisting the Nazis in the past, and in fact seems to be ashamed of himself for it, as his only response to the major's reminiscence is a solemn, deadpan "Yes."
  • Britain does not actually have the Dairy Queen restaurant chain, though, at one con, it was accepted that Alucard flew Integra's father's car all the way to the US just to crash one into it. Despite this, Episode 7 has Alucard claim he did indeed destroy "the world's first British Dairy Queen."
  • Some of Pip's men are named after the voice actors who portrayed them in the OVA's English Dub (among them include "Willingham", named after Travis Willingham, "Mercer" as in Matthew Mercer and "Sam" as in Sam Riegel.) Jaffe from Episode 7 gets his name from English dub voice director Taliesin Jaffe, who was also a fan of the Abridged series.
