Line 44:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Luna and Verona are half this half [[The Ditz]].
* [[Commie Nazis]]: Subverted; after a bit of hating each other, the Fascists and the Communists willingly ally themselves instead of just being a landmass of evil all on their own. {{spoiler|This alliance only lasts until the final chapters of the second story, afterwards they're back to hating each other.}}
* [[Cuffs Off, Rub Wrists]]: Averted in the second; {{spoiler|When Pip is uncuffed after She's torture, his worries aren't so much focused on the damage to his wrists as the huge collective knife wound taking up most of his lower torso.}}
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Seras Alucard Jan Luke and GC vs. Vampire Cows/SWAT Team/Tubalcain Alhambra/ANYONE, Jan and Alucard vs. Rip Van Winkle, Yadviga vs. Zorin, Hans vs. Amedea, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
* [[Daddy's Girl]]: G.C. is something of a parody of this, since upon her first appearance she considers nearly every adult male in the group to be her surrogate father and adores them instantly. This behavior is quickly shoved under the table later, implying she didn't really mean it. Zinaida plays this a little straighter, since the only things she loves more than her surrogate father {{spoiler|Radu}} are {{spoiler|Major}} and [[Colonel Kilgore|war]].
Line 58:
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Zinaida does this for no real reason when she introduces herself to Millennium.
* [[Expy]]: Stepan, for starters…
* [[Four -Star Badass]]: Zinaida.
* [[Funetik Aksent]]: Everyone Russian or German, though the author gives up on writing the Russian accents out around the second to last chapters. {{spoiler|In the rewrite, however, the author plans on giving She an Israeli accent to coincide with her Biblical roots}}.
* [[Good Costume Switch]]: Played straight with {{spoiler|Dok}} changes to a black version of his normal outfit plus an eyepatch after his [[Heel Face Turn]], and oddly averted with Schrödinger, since I think you'd want to throw out the whole [[Those Wacky Nazis|Hitler Youth Uniform]].
Line 68:
* [[Historical Hero Upgrade]]: Subverted, since {{spoiler|Mircea and Cal are reincarnations of Mircea II and Vlad Calugarul}}, but according to {{spoiler|Alucard}} they act exactly the same as their past counterparts.
* [[Historical Villain Upgrade]]: {{spoiler|Radu}} probably wasn't as much of a douche as he is here. {{spoiler|She also sort of counts, since [[The Bible|Lilith]] is something of a moral gray area}}.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]: Two words. Jan Valentine.
* [[Implausible Fencing Powers]]: G.C. Just… GC.
* [[Immortal Immaturity]]: G.C. and Schrödinger play this straight while Stepan is something of a subversion, alternating between being childish, mature, and something in between.
Line 118:
* [[The Rest Shall Pass]]: The Hellsing{{spoiler|-Iscariot}} crew is constantly being split up during gigantic fight scenes to fight their respective rivals/whoever important that's left over. At the end of the huge battle they find some way to group together again, or they meet up in small groups that keep growing and growing as they find more of their teammates until the gang's all here again.
* [[Twitchy Eye]]: Maxwell.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Jaqueline's "I Wonder I Wonder" (also a [[Shout -Out]]) at the end of every sentence, no exceptions. Guess how quickly the readers stop tolerating it.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Zinaida, after {{spoiler|She rips Major to itty bitty pieces}}.
* [[Violence Is the Only Option]]: The Hellsing crew's solution to everything that comes up in the story is to go find it and beat the everloving crap out of it.
