Erin: I’ve wanted to do something like this for a while — you know, answering questions from my email in the comic. So here’s the first one…

Email: According to Hellsing philosophy, a person *must* be a virgin in order to become a vampire, right? And it seems pretty clear that Alucard is Dracula is Vlad Tepes, yes? Are they saying Vlad Tepes was too busy impaling people to ever get laid once in his life? *Snicker*…

Erin: Yes, one has to wonder…

There’s no mention of virginity as a condition for becoming a vampire in Dracula, or in the Hellsing anime. But it is specifically mentioned in the manga.

Therefore, one can only conclude that manga Alucard is a virgin. You’d think manga-Integra would mock him more for that, wouldn’t you?…

…And where do you think you’re going?

Alucard: I have a bone to pick with Kohta Hirano. Literally.
