In regards to his role in the story, Comic Book Resources felt Alucard's battle to be enjoyable due to the amount of gore provided through his fighting style involving both supernatural abilities and usage of guns. "The Fandom Post" enjoyed both Alucard's presence and lack of prescence in the narrative for the impact it has on the cast as well as how he is hummanized when fighting with his full power while also interacting with Integra. "Manga News" expressed similar feeling as without Alucard, Seras Victoria's forces remain notably weaker in comparison to the point he missed the character. However, the writer had mix feelings in regards to Alucard's understanding of his rival Anderson's. While the final fight was praised for developing Alucard and show his past, his subsequent betrayal by Walter and brief fight with him felt "flat" alongside his fate in the finale. The same site also praised Alucard's final fight against Anderson in "Hellsing Ultimate", citing it as the greatest highlight of the entire series and found Hirano's take on the Dracula myth as one of the "wildest interpretation" he has seen. Freeman's work for providing a "gothic depth befitting a powerful master vampire". "THEM Anime Reviews" noted that while Alucard might come across as a villain rather than a hero due to his sadistic actions, the poorly developed villains make it easier for the viewers to root for the lead. Similarly, DVD Talk praised how "Ultimate" portrayed Alucard in the finale not only for his fights against Anderson and Walter but also about how his past life is explored while acclaiming Freeman's work. Joji Nakata's work as Alucard was also met with similar response by "Anime News Network" alongside Norio Wakamoto (Anderson) for having the best deliveries in the Japanese version. "Manga News" critcized Alucard's fate in the finale for his apparent death during the fight against the Millennium organization only to return in the final chapter for unexplained reasons.
