What is with the way Japan portrays butlers? I don't quite understand it. I've seen this in video games and anime.

How do they portray them then? Because I know a lot of different butlers from manga, anime and visual novels. There is plenty of diversity.

>I don't quite understand it
Because you seem to only watch anime and don't pay attention to western fiction. Which japan uses as the basis. Since butlers came from the west and is not a japanese invention.

Anime Britain is cool, real Britain is a horroshow. Normal butlers are boring, anime butlers are awesome.

>japan thinks Sebastian is a title given to butlers
weird

This

OP's example is named Walter.

People like competent and cool butlers like Batman's butler and PG Wodehouse's Jeeves. It's not just a Japanese thing.

I'd love to see a Hellsing twist on Batman and Alfred.

That's what they were going for.

Alucard is Batman,
The Major is the Joker.

Seriously, what the fuck was his problem?

living in Alucard's shadow would be my guess, but I don't know for sure.

Heidi had a butler named Sebastian apparently that is the reason why.

I reread some of Hellsing just a little earlier. It's really not as good as I remembered it. The art quality is super inconsistent and there's so much unnecessary experimental paneling. Some of it is really cool in hardcopy, but mostly it's just jarring. I won't shit on an old favourite, but how did it get to be so popular?

his spinoff will never be finished

There's a spinoff?

Stop double spacing faggot. This isn't reddit.

so... why did he betray hellsing?

God, why do Hellsing characters have such weird proportions? That's always kind of bugged me

Because he's salty over being forced to play nice with the likes of Alucard for decades

Chinese people will actually pay extra to get a butler that's white or british

You mean the fact that butlers tend to double as bouncers/body guards?
That's just the smart way to do it.

Dammit should have started a butler career and get a qt chinese mistress

I guess his entire ideology is in that all things should die and Alucard flies in the face of that.

It was violent and dark and had a simple plot. Also most people got into it through the anime.

He was tasked to kill Alucard from the jump, failed, and spent his years getting close to the family before the major could restore his youth.

Hypercompetent butler is a pretty common trope everywhere, making them huge badasses is a logical extension of that.

Prequel set during WWII with young Walter. It also showed how powerful the Captain really was.

I don't think it was explained that well. Does anyone actually know? I thought he wanted to leave his mark as a vampire hunter by killing Alucard, and if you want to be charitable to Walter, give Alucard the death he always wanted,

Not exactly what you're looking for but big O is anime batman. Done on purpose too.

His "problem" was that he was human, the strongest human, but was sidelined because of his age.

He just wanted to prove he was better, and he was.

Seriously. Even Alexander Anderson has physical modifications that slows if not outright stops aging, and Alucard considers him human enough. Imagine if Walter was properly rejuvenated, with all his experience in his body at his prime. Despite what the show tells you, he really could have been the one to kill Alucard.
