Seja como a Double

Na Lei da Suposição

⛧°. ⋆༺♱༻⋆. °⛧

Primeiramente, espero que vocês gostem desse post porque fiz ele com muito, eu AMO skullgirls e quando comecei a associar a Double com os conceitos da lei eu me senti como se tivesse transcedido, porque percebi que da pra realmente associar muitas coisas a LDS, até mesmo outros interresses meus, e de certa forma isso ajuda até para nossa própria compreensão..

Mas ok vamos lá..

A Double é uma personagem do jogo skullgirls, e hoje eu associar ela a Lei da Suposição com vocês, principalmente pela ideia de forma mutável e identidade que ela carrega..

Vamos começar pelo fato de que a Double não tem uma forma fixa, Ela muda, imita, assume aparências diferentes. Isso combina muito com a ideia da LDS de que:

Identidade não é algo rígido, mas sim maleável..

A Double é tudo, porque ela se torna tudo. Ela não limita, ela de transforma, e isso que a faz ser uma personagem tão complexa no jogo, não só pela história dela mas também porque ela é muito poderosa..

Tanto que no jogo, ela assume formas de outros personagens, e durante a luta ela pega os poderes e efeitos deles..

Na lei da suposição, muita gente acredita que você manifesta a partir do estado que assume e que a identidade interna molda a experiência externa.

E a Double é quase uma personificação extrema disso, afinal ela literalmente se transforma conforme o papel que assume.

Pensem na Double como um símbolo de transformação, fluidez de identidade, desapego de uma forma fixa e também de “assumir” diferentes versões de si..

Tipo: “eu não preciso permanecer presa à minha autoimagem antiga.”

Algo muito interessante é que, essa associação com a Double faz sentido com várias coisas que eu já comentei sobre aqui com vocês.. como shifting, identidade, aparência desejada e até percepção..

Porque ela representa muito essa ideia de “formas possíveis do eu”..

Ela representa algo que muita gente da LDS tenta fazer: desgrudar de uma identidade fixa.

A Double não é presa a um rosto, uma forma ou uma aparência estável..

Ela assume formas conforme o contexto.

E na lei da suposição existe uma ideia parecida, de que a personalidade e a autoimagem não são totalmente permanentes.

Até porque, a Double é quase um “corpo sem identidade fixa”. E a LDS fala muito sobre estados, versões de si e assumir identidades diferentes..

Como por exemplo: “quem eu sou hoje não precisa ser quem serei amanhã..”

Ladies and gentlemen. Hellsing fans of all ages. This scene.

This one scene

Why do I call so much to it? Well, it’s the second to last snippet of Gonzo’s original trailer for 2001’s Hellsing series. It was a promise that sadly never was made due to the hangups of the manga and budget constraints, which was the introduction of Millennium in the anime.

I dwell on it so much, and grasp at straws in vague memory of what we could have seen from Gonzo’s full interpretation of the franchise unhindered by Hirano’s crazy scheduling of the manga releases and full support from it’s benefactors.

So step in, dear vampires, ghouls, Englishman and priests alike. Let us gather at the roundtable and gain some clarity on the unknowable; what could have been of Hellsing 2001…

Right off the heels of Episode 13, the mystery would have been bubbling as to who truly was the member of Hellsing that was behind the “ownership” of Incognito, and possibly his awakening. For anyone who’s read the manga or Ultimate, it’s very clear this would have been Walter, as he betrayed the Hellsing family when Millennium promised him the chance to defeat Alucard, and Millennium giving him access to the vampire of the Dark Continent would be no surprise. It would have easily fit into their plans of pitting an old and weaker vampire against Alucard to give the Hellsing organization a false sense of security whilst Millennium mustered their forces. Knowing the Anime’s favor toward mystery and intrigue, Dornez’ betrayal would have been a slow and gradual one, with many moments of the butler silently dissuading any suspicions and playing close to Integra’s side.

This mysterious, ominous vibe and beautifully stylized story would have still been carried by Yasushi Ishii’s ingenious soundtrack, with the orchestral and opera bits getting healthily mixed in toward the final act of the series. Honestly always imagined Andersons death fitting perfectly with the piano solo at the end of “The Japense Alphabet Road W/Chinese Bellflowers Sweet Smell”.

What of Seras? Well as we know, many of Helling’s hired troops were lost to the battle against Incognito and his freak army. Which means we would not only get the Wild Geese to replace them, but Victoria getting her human companionship in the form of Pip Bernadotte. The anime REALLY liked playing with Seras’ constant conflict with her new vampire self, and Pip could have made a great foil to Alucard in that consistent drama right to it’s climax against Zorin.

Side note, you know they would have had fun with the interactions between the stern and grizled Fargeson and Bernadotte’s cool and aloof nature.

Speaking of side characters, i feel we would have regularly seen more in order to pad the time between manga volumes; knowing 2001, these would have been fine additions, adding a bit of spice to London and putting Hirano’s characters in a world that actively worked around them, whether residents, other lesser Hellsing members, or Iscariot priests. Side characters like Heinkel, Yumiko and Penwood probably would have seen a massive spike in stuff to do as well before serving their short-lived purpose in the climax. Hell, maybe even canon Crossfire?

There definitely would have been other vampires and monsters for Seras and Alucard to hunt down across Europe, meaning a good few cross-ups with Anderson and the rest of Section XIII as they were VERY liberal with their jurisdiction in the anime that led to a lot of fun power-struggle between the two monster-slaying factions before their true enemy played their hand.

And now we get to the big honchos…

Millennium

Definitely gonna call it: they would have refrained from them being Nazis; a secret battalion of the Third Reich, yes, but knowing modern TV back then, this would not have flown. Ultimate got away with it thanks to DVD release. The Major’s goals and aspiration for his final war would have gone FAR past the narrow-minded ideologies of Hitler’s Nazi Germany (hell, it’s practically confirmed in canon when he denounces the Fourth Reich), and possibly even rebranded Millennium under a new symbol to reflect this. It would also better reflect the anime never hinting toward Nazis, as Millennium was scrutinized by Hellsing shortly after the Valentine’s death in both manga and Ultimate.

Chances are each member of Millennium would have been further expanded upon. Many more moments of buildup and character study much like we saw in the Valentine brothers, who had a whole episode of escapades before they even invaded Hellsing Manor— definitely helping them stand out. This combined with the removal of traditional Nazi imagery would have really pushed each of the artificial vampires under Major’s battalion to their farthest before meeting their inevitable demise at the hands of Alucard, and not leaving such a sour taste in many viewers mouths before they did.

From that point on, the anime would’ve probably come to pace with the climactic burning of London and the Ninth Crusade. But with so many episodes and extra character establishment to keep pace next to the manga, this would have made a Hellsing experience that, while very different for Hirano’s work on the page, would have had a very distinct style and extra content that would have left many satisfied. We see this happen with so much Shōnen having filler episodes in their corresponding shows. And while many of that see filler as a sin, Hellsing’s admittedly short length would have easily meant these filler episodes giving much more breathing room for the otherwise airtight story that Hirano penned.

And that, ladies and gentleman, is but a theory of what we could have seen from a world that never saw the untimely death of Gonzo’s vision of Hellsing!

I hope you all enjoyed this long rambling of a coping Hellsing fan, and I’d LOVE to hear your thoughts in the comments or asks! I know the Hellsing community is dying for content, and I wanted to offer the fun open-ended talk-piece!

On a side note… we all know this guy would’ve been a side villain. Strange that he got so much special attention compared to the other faceless vampires in Millennium’s ranks.
