Cameo: Hello Kitty, on the slippers.
Our next tale returns us to the secret base of the Letzte Battalion, where no one is who they appear to be. In fact, at the moment that’s literally true, because…
…sorry, was I saying something?
In the last chapter, our hero was left locked in a deadly duel with his greatest rival, who claims to have a secret weapon that will make him unbeatable…
Alex: I’ll grind you to dust, vampire, and scatter your ashes at a crossroads!
The Adventures of Shounencard
[Battle 1,527]
Shounencard: No…you won’t win. You can’t win! And you’ll never understand why!
You don’t trust in your own skills. You lean on others rather than fightin from your heart. Someone like that can never defeat me! Having power isn’t enough. You have to be able to wield it with a strong heart. Until you can do that, we may have a hundred battles — and we will, because they’re easy to write — but you will never win!
Is Shounencard right? Or will Alex defeat him at last? Stay tuned for just fifty more pages of dramatic posturing before we find out!
Guest strip by Jamew85 (she’s the character here who looks like Maxwell but isn’t wearing the priest collar).
Jamew85 [reading Shine]: I guess this will make a good tea!
Enrico: Stop kidding!
With the powers of this flower…only god knows what she will do!
Jamew85: And the megalomaniac perceived paranoia and thus a Maxwell was born. -Jam. 10:6
Enrico: Stop inventing new testaments!
[final strip]
Jamew85: Guess who lost a bet and owes me 30 hosties.
Enrico: Gaaaah!
Ye shall not desire yer fellas hosties. -And. 3:14
Alucard: Speaking of perenova tsvetje…where are the blooms now?
Integra: Walter is drying them. They’ll be boiled as needed.
Alucard: Boiled…?
Master, are you going to make tea out of the flowers of Perun?
Integra: If this last adventure hasn’t taught you to stop second-guessing me, I suppose nothing ever will.
[Limited release complete. See you next time!]

Evening.
Integra: Alucard. You were seasick earlier. Are you feeling all right?
Alucard: Why, Master, I didn’t know you cared.
Integra: I’m sending the Wild Geese to deal with a freak in Kent. I need to know whether I can send you as backup.
Alucard: Why don’t you take it out yourself?
Integra: I have limited quantities of perenova tsvetje. It will not make our regular operations obsolete. Besides, all I know how to do so far is yell at trees.
Walter: Welcome home, Sir Integra!
How was your trip?
Integra: I lost the knife, the cake, the backpack, and everything in it, including the socks.
But the mission was a success. You know what to do.
Integra: Why are we hovering?
Alucard: We’ve reached the Channel.
I’m waiting until the tide changes to cross.
Integra: No, you aren’t.
You may not care whether we get into a fight with the Holy League, but I do. If you didn’t want to get seasick, you should’ve stayed home. We’re crossing.
Integra (thinking): So long as you’re here…take us fast enough that by the time anyone picks up on us, we’ll be long gone.
Alucard: Yes, Master.
Frey did most of the writing here. Screencaps are from OVA III.
Erin: OVA III is out, which means we finally get to see the Dandy in all his animated action! I can think of no better time to release these lyrics, penned by Frey, to the tune of Sammy Davis Jr.’s song “Candyman”…
Who can take a full deck
Shuffle it with skill
Deal it in style and a razor edge or two?
The Dandy Man
The Dandy Man can
The Dandy Man can,
’cause he shuffles it with skill and makes the cards feel sharpWho can dodge a bullet
Saunter up a wall
Challenge Alucard and give him more than just a brawl?
The Dandy Man
The Dandy Man can
The Dandy Man can,
’cause he shuffles it with skill and makes the cards feel sharpThe Dandy Man, he’ll
Make every hand he deals
Charming as it is malicious
Talk about vampiric wishes
Who else could make a card game vicious?Who can help the Nazis
Stake out the hotel
Send in lots of soldiers before coming in himself?
The Dandy Man
The Dandy Man can
The Dandy Man can,
’cause he shuffles it with skill and makes the cards feel sharpThe Dandy Man, he’ll
Make every hand he deals
Charming as it is malicious
Talk about vampiric wishes
Who else could make a card game vicious?Who can take a bullet
Lose a limb or three
Then dissolve into a deck and come back in one piece?
The Dandy Man
The Dandy Man can
The Dandy Man can,
’cause he shuffles it with skill and makes the cards feel sharpBut the game’s too hard
He can’t deal with Alucard…
