Yeah I did notice that whole Alucard thing. But the odd thing is... Alucard isn't even his real name. I forget it right now, but it shows it at the end of Castelvania 3. But then, that's only Castlevania and not Hellsing.

The Japanese switch r's and l's at random.

Like in Fooly Kooly or Furi Kuri, it's the same thing.

They decided to spell the now how it was pronounced instead of how it was written.

His original name was "Squiggy". They just thought "Arucard" sounded cooler.

Should be 'spell the name how it was...' ._.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Oh, well. I'll live with it.

I guess I just figured a company like Pioneer, who has been translating for awhile, would know that L's are sometimes pronounced as R's in Japanese. Hell, I know that, and I'm just a soon-to-be-sophomore in college.

Oh, well. The series is still frikken awesome.
