[1] Produced by Gonzo, directed by Umanosuke Iida and written by Chiaki J. Konaka,[2] the episodes are based on the characters and settings of the Hellsing manga series by Kouta Hirano but lead through a different story.
Entitled as simply Hellsing in Japan, and Hellsing Ultimate internationally, the OVA episodes more closely follow the source manga and differ from the first series with the divergence of the former based on the latter's episode 5 and 6 as the source manga had not been completed by the time Gonzo produced the TV series.
[6] Geneon USA stopped self-distribution of its titles in 2007,[7] but remains the series' licensor with Funimation Entertainment taking over its North American distribution of the episodes.
In 2014, Hellsing Ultimate aired on US television via Adult Swim's Toonami programming block, starting on September 13.
The armed priests led by Heinkel Wolfe and Yumie Takagi come close to capturing Integra, but Seras saves her.
Alucard, stands atop the Eagle as it floats down the Thames, now returns to London and joins the battle encountering the two other trump cards Anderson and The Captain.
Integra releases his Control Art Restriction to Level Zero allowing Alucard to summon millions of Familiars to the battle.
He then envisions himself during his war against the Turks, stating to his knights that praying to God is pointless unless you are willing to work for your prayer, otherwise it is just begging.
Alucard and Walter prepare to fight, while Integra and Seras are invited aboard the Major's zeppelin to face him.
Alucard then appears from behind and punches Walter, the damage forcing his body's age to regress to the young boy from 60 years ago.
Alucard fully reveals himself in the form of the girl he assumed during the war, calling Walter a child who has not changed in 60 years.
Thirty years later, Iscariot visits the new Hellsing headquarters but is turned away, while Heinkel as the new trump card and the new chief Makube contemplate the next Crusade.
