    One of my favorite little moments in the show from OVA 7. Coming from a family of mercenaries, Pip comes to his grandfather crying and upset about how at school he gets picked on for being the son of a mercenary. To console him, his grandfather tells him the truth.
    Also, I will not be able to make any Amv's for quite a long time. Do not expect anything new from this channel until at least October. Sorry folks, you'll have to be kept waiting. I know i'll be missing a lot with the new DBZ movie coming to theaters in America soon.

    I always thought it was a damn shame we didnt get to know Pips grandfather better. Here we see him in a peacful setting, enjoying his liquor in a warm light of dawning sun, stretching in his chair, gazing at the beautiful landscape before him. But damn, his presence here is the result of few generations who practiced a borderline suicidal line of living and who managed to keep the bloodline going. The package of survival genes he has from his ancestors is already making him both mentally and physically more suitable for battle than nearly everyone else. And to top it off, he's in his old age, outliving even his son. You can safely assume whatever default setup of combat prowess he started up with he developed and trained it to its very limit, backing it up with tremendous battle experience and knowledge. An old timer in a profession where people tends to die young, it does give you this horrifying realization of what a beast he is. It is a weird contradiction seeing him here, relaxing like that. The last Bernadotte who lived his human life to the end, with the time to rest and reflect on his bloodline and its way of living. And with little to no regret whatsoever. The scenery setting here fits him very well.

    "Deserve's got nothing to do with it, it's a job. Anyone who found himself at the end of my gun he was fighting for something - bring down a gouverment or prop one up, for homeland or someone elses, for family, for a woman.. maybe just food and drink. So many damn reasons, some good, some bad. A mercenary doesn't ask questions boy, it's enough to know the other man is dying for something, but that reason of his, whatever it was, was it really worth fighting for? Maybe. But who says you need some epic cause before you can shed some blood? Fighting for filthy lucre has always been good enough for me, pays the bills. Toss us a bit of coin and we will risk life and limb. They dangle their spare change in front of our nose and we come running, we march onto chessboards all over the world for mere pennies. Kill for em, DIE for em. But really, it ain't about the damn pennies. We go because we enjoy it. We fight for money caus fighting for fun is just too horrible to admit. Die for a dollar, kill for some kruna.. sign us up! We're scum of the earth, boy. With a legacy like ours, course they're going to pick on you at school. You cry but I bet you'll come arround one of these days. You know the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

      One of the things I disliked the most from the first Hellsing series was it's portrayal of Integra, in that she was unnecessarily mean to Seras for an incident that, at worst, could only be a passive mistake on her part. I wouldn't have minded this aspect of Integra's character as much as I did if the story actually went anywhere with it, but it didn't. In fact, that incident and Integra's subsequent scolding of Seras for it all happened in just one episode, as well as the entire plot thread of their relationship, so by the end of the series, I was left wondering why this cruelty was even there.

      ya most "mercenaries" nowadays are called contractors due to the fact that the Geneva convention considers hiring mercenaries a war crime and if you ARE a mercenary and your captured you are not protected by the Geneva convention so they could torture you or do what ever openly with minimum backlash

      It depends on whether or not you’re working for the local government. The biggest problem is that the Geneva convention doesn’t apply to you. So if you get captured they can mangle you all they want.
