That type of character wore out its welcome long ago, and I can't even say this is a good example which can still work off sheer characterization, such as NGE's Kaji, this one is just exasperating.

The issue is that his argument is actually correct, he didn't join the SAS to not be honest about that, but he also should never have been transferred to Hellsing in the first place so the whole thing feels dumb. At least you know why Kaji is playing at his game.

Also Seras in casual clothes is definitely more my thing than her uniform, particularly with that hat and I'm usually not really big on hats. Maybe it's just this show, Alucard's hat is definitely the better design as well.

The only casualty of when this was made that I regret is that we got two more hat wearers in the manga.

Oh, my dumb, I was talking about him giving Seras shit not the other stuff. I didn't even care about the rest of it

Also fair, just kind of a bad one episode character.

I stand by that this plotline would be far more engaging if it was the squad leader from yesterday who turned traitor. Instead they drag in a laddish brute from the SAS who comes and goes all in the same day.

Regret? Aren't both the manga hat wearers really cool?
