Arkard is a fansubbing mistake.

It's Alucard, no doubt about it!
The japanese pronounce L as an R, so they say Arucard instead.

There's one episode where someone said about his name spelled backwards is Dracula.

It's pritty obvious from the name of the friggin anime "Hellsing" like Dr. Vanhelsing, that the vimpare on staff would be the one and only Dracula. Buy the dvd and watch the sub, even on that it's Alucard. Nuff said end of story no more arguments about it. Please for all that is holy let the subject end here.

On a side note which sub group did the ep ?igma is taking screen shots from because i remember one group royaly f-up some of the names for several series.

listen to me, I'm not making the mistake to point you at the translation, Im just making screens of the moment where they ----------->SAY, even SPELL <------------------------------------------

Arkard , ignore the translation goddamnit, and for the fucking tenth time, people saying that it is said as ARUCARD because of the L/R problem GO READ THIS TOPIC AGAIN..morons

And it is true that even the U can be omitted, but that is only in fluent speech, not in these screencaptured moments, if it would be Arucard, the at that time, they would pronounce it as such.

And now, clearly because noone took the opportunity to look at the moments I added above, GO LISTEN FOR YOURSELVES.

Dude it's time to give up. It's nothing be ashamed or imbarised of. Fansubers are not the friggen bible on how to translate japanese. How much actual experience do you have with japanese. I listen to it almost every day from the anime I watch to songs I listen to, even when I'm at kendo. I have learned alot from just listening. Certain letter's are ommited or pronounced diffrently in how you say it out loud. I don't know why in the name of god you started this pointless thread anyway.
