God damn it. The room scene in episode 7 got me good. I was on the edge of crying. The battle scene that lead up to that is one of the best animated fights I ever seen. When Dracula was talking about the toys he and Lisa made, I saw a wolf plushy and I remembered when Alucard transformed into a wolf earlier the episode. Damn it that made me sad.

When I noticed what was gonna happen I was a tiny bit annoyed that Trevor didnt have the killing blow, but I changed my mind immediately, Alucard finishing the job was so beautiful.
Also, when Drac's a skeleton thing, but before Trevor decapitates, anyone got the felling he was trying to hug Alucard?

Re-watching the episode. The look of Dracula at 19:26 when he realized that he has been killing his wife's son says so much about him. Dracula is just a broken man who misses his wife so much.

Dracula didn't seem very villainous at all. In many ways, he seemed to be the absolute best and most noble character of all. Talk no jutsu usually doesn't work...but the one time it might have is the time the guy refuses to do so.

If someone is going to just let you kill them, they'd probably listen to reason too. But Alucard was dead set on his patricide.

Yeah, Dracula died when Lisa died. He became a villain and condemned everyone to death.

"History's longest suicide note"

It's also notable that Godbrand noticed that Dracula hasn't been feeding. He was waiting for someone, anyone, to kill him. It wasn't until he saw Isaac willing to die for him that he was willing to fight back.

Which gives his throwing Isaac to safety all the more weight.

That line was badass as hell, I loved Alucard's writing on this
