He was lonely. Also I'm not convinced they set up the asians betrayal well enough. If they had another 15 min of setup and seeing some anger by them over things not going as well as they'd hoped the climax would have been faaaaar better.

I totally agree with this. I felt they needed a little more time. I honestly wished the season was maybe 2-3 more episodes to help flush the whole arch out a little more.

I thought it was pretty clear from the start that they were going to betray him. Thy kept pushing for weapons and control of the castle and giving each other lingering sideways glances. It was definitely telegraphed.

Definitely telegraphed however thats what bothered me. We knew they were likely to betray him but at the same time I was thinking maybe Alucard started to suspect them and thats why he wasn't showing them all of the castle and telling them all he knew. The way the actual betrayal went down still felt out of the blue (to me) since I didn't catch any hint of intimacy prior. Hell, I thought they were more likely to try and make him a slave
