Since we plunged straight into the fangirls’ return, we didn’t have much time to explai exactly who this Pip guy is, or why he’s here, or what’s going on with him and Seras. So we’re going to back up and explain just how the Wild Geese joined Hellsing. Of course, if you’ve seen the second tankōbon, some of it will look very familiar.

Integra: You’ve given a high estimation of their skill and trustworthiness… Walter: Well, they’re the best quality. Besides, we’re paying their debts.

Walter: You… Continue reading The Pip Backstoryline 2/24

Much of the dialogue in this sequence is straight from the manga. Integra: I need to know how they’ve reacted to the idea of hunting – and working with – vampires. Walter: Ah, yes.

Wild Geese: You must be barmy! Pip: Everyone knows that vampires aren’t real. Walter: Quite true – because “everyone” is kept deliberately in the dark. Meanwhile, the Hellsing Organization exterminates vampires behind the scenes. Walter: This is our enemy… the vampire.

Integra: This doesn’t sound promising. Walter: Don’t worry, that’s the worst of it. They’ve adjusted by now, at least to Seras: she’s technically a lower rank than the captain, but she’s been supervising their training. Alucard: I showed her a bit of that earlier. Walter: Delighted to hear it, Alucard. Integra: You really must do… Continue reading The Pip Backstoryline 9/24
