The Major is watching the video taken during this strip.

And Rip has met her fans!

On the head: Lulu and Alisa Makora. On the curl: Meowkitty. On the shoulder: Scara and Nathan. On the chest: Hugo. On the arm: Sonja (website). And down on the waist, Brynnie-chan.

And so, in the video room…

Major: I see…Yes, I think I understand the mental state of a fangirl now. I know what it will take to overwhelm them.

Schrö fan: So I said “Psssshhh, your just a man with a hair cut and jeans.” I just wanna nuzzle his cat-ears!

Major fan 1: I WANT SOME VAN HOUTEN COCOA!!! I OBEY HERR MAJOR!!! SEIG HEIL!!! MILLENNIUM FOR THE WIN!!! MARMALADE!!!

Major fan 2: He is also confident enough in himself to accept death instead of vampirism. Just when I drifted from Hellsing, Herr Major reeled me back in, even though he goes against all of my superficial fandom rules.

Rip: You could have given me a little bit more warning.

Schrödinger: Nyaaah.

Rip fan 1: um…Oh god this is hard to do, choose ONE Millennium character I like?! I could tell you who I dislike most without trouble but like?! I’m stuck on two choices! Schro and Rippy!!!

Rip fan 7: Rip, I love you, your hair, your musket and your taste in classical music!

Rip fan 8: OMG OMG OMG IT’S RIIIIIIIIIIP! She’s the coolest Nazi ever to exist! I love her awesome springy curl, her shiny glasses and shark teeth, the way she twirls her gun, and how freaking awesomely she sings! Opera RULES! Also, she’s part of one of the COOLEST death scenes in anime history, she stands up to Alucard in Volume 5 and comes DAMN close to killing him,

Doc fan: Speaking aboot that. Dude whats with the zippers RIGHT THERE?
