no because i also think it'd be so interesting to explore the AI bots within the contexts of rei's physical disability and mental health -- rei comes face to face with a version of himself that had the godlike personality and charisma he had in the war era and the ability to perform for extremely long periods of time on hellsing's massive national tour, but none of the burnout or physical exhaustion that wagarei gained as a result. a version of him that can be the perfect idol everyone expects him to be -- and it shows, because undead fans love hellsing. what purpose does grandpa-like wagarei have then? what use does he have if he can't be of service?
Read the first half of UNDEAD climax translated and the second half with livetweets. Highkey wish UNDEAD confronted their AI countperarts more tbh. Especially given how the AI’s personalities seem to mostly come from UNDEAD’s past selves
I want to see them reflect on that but also I am a sucker for when different versions of a character co-exist. I want Rei AI to break down in our Rei’s arms tbh bc he has the pain that Ore Rei had. I just want the angst. A very self-indulgent angst moment here
