Seras invincible to sunlight????

[black_angel]

ok yesterday i finaly got around to watching the 3rd hellsing DVD.... but when Seras was outside in pure dayllight with not even eye gear i went.."what tha?.." and i know the sunlight-vampire thing aplies in hellsing coz they tell her to stay in dureing the day in Ep2....so can some one explain to me what the hell was going on?...oh and im aware at one sceen she had a pair of shades but sometimes she was walking around witout them on.....

I'm not too sure about this either. The only reasons I can come up with was:

A) She was wearing protective clothing or

B) It was dusk so the sun's power wasn't that strong.

I suppose they just forgot about it and didn't bother to care. Serace would be a much better english spelling of the name btw.

Heh... A closer translation is Celes...

Though lets not get into that...

If you read the manga you will discover that Alucard is also invincible to the sun... He just doesent like it...

[Pengi_Ken-Ohki]

I too pondered it, then turned to admire the less than covering clothing she was wearing.

Ahh, such a pretty little vampire. Makes me wanna walk around at night in dark alleys hoping for one such as she to steal my blood.

They mention in the series she is only half vampire or something if that helps. She has to drink Alcard's blood before becoming uber vampiress.

[black_angel]

that makes alot of scence...it'd be funky to be an uber vamp^^

You also see Arucard walking around in the dusk (first episode)... And as far as I can remember, they don't tell her to stay inside because the sun will kill her, they just tell her to stay in, which could be for a lot of reasons not related to death by sunlight.

Well, this thread is almost a month old, but. . .

In Dracula, Dracula couldn't use his powers during the day, so he was more vulnerable to attack. Since the series obviously draws from the novel, that might have something to do with it. Maybe. Hell if I know.

[Pen2]

There's no actual incidents, if I recall right, of Vampires actually perishing with the sunrise. The brothers walk in daylight, Celes does, and in the manga Alucard complains about having to stay awake during the day when Integral meets with the Iscariots in the museum. As far as I figure it, their powers ebb during the daytime, but it doesn't kill them.

[APF]

Another explanation is this: traditionally, as vampires become more powerful, their weaknessess become more pronounced. As Seras is a young vampire with very little power, her weaknesses would also be minor.

[cool2burn]

Well from what i got after watching the series was that Acurd was more then just a vampire so in turn Ceres is more as well. Perhaps that why she is able to survive so long without blood as well.

I'll go with this explination... Simple. and probably the real reason to...

[Linna32]

vampires could stand light however their poweres are weaker in daylight than during night time as drawn from the novel by bram stocker :)

I believe that, as the series is based on the Bram Stoker novels, Alucard (Dracula backwards), like his father, isn't harmed by sunlight. Thus Alucard's daughter Celes wouldn't be either. I don't know why the Valentine brothers weren't effected. Perhaps the valentine brothers were chipped-freaks (if they tell us I don't remember); it's possible the chipped vampires don't have the supernatural weakness to the light of our sun. In the Book of Nod, one of the curses laid upon Cain (the first vampire ever, and the son of Adam) by the archangels was that he could never again feel the light of the sun. This fatal weakness was passed to his vampire children. Sunglasses and full clothing or not a vampire descended from Cain cannot enter sunlight without bursting into flame. Since Dracula isn't a child of Cain (read the book to hear how he became undead), his bloodline has different strengths and weaknesses, coupled with the fact that Alucard was born to a mortal woman (Celes too is a half-breed thus, sun proof).

hey if you guys look, shes actually in the shade!

[RiPPa]

This is turning out like Blade; the whole half-breed thing :rolleyes:

Catholics made up the part of the sun, cross holy water stuff. Vampires traditionally didnt even drink blood. They just made the loved ones of the victem sick.


So in truth, none of the mythos of the vampire is really true. And thats why Hellsing is as correct as Bram Stoker or Anne Rice. You make up whatever sounds good, and stick with it!

[RiPPa]

sounds good to me :)
