Alucard is Dracula Spelled Backwards

[KEVMAN569]

I finally realized Alucard (Dracula's son from Akumajou Denetsu) is Dracula spelled backwards.  I'm retarded.

LOL well that took me a while to realize too.

[MaxXimus]

I never would have noticed. :O

On a semi related note, the pokemon Ekans and Arboc are just snake and cobra backwards.

[nurd]

It''s actually Arbok, with a K.

Probably bekause K's look kooler than C's.

[MaxXimus]

I was thinking it was a K too, but then I second guessed myself. Gah,lesson learned! Go with your first instinct.

[Kuvio]

Yeah, there are actually a lot of other references to Alucard in other Dracula works.

[FamicomFreak]

WOW that's awesome I didn't know about pokemon snakes and I'm a pokefan!   

[satoshi_matrix]

You didn't know about Ekans/Arbok? Then here are some you might not have realized:

Charizard = Char + lizard
Pikachu = pika (Japanese onomotopoeia for "Light Sparks.") + chu (Japanese onomotopeia of the sound a mouse makes.) may also be a refrence to the artic rodants also known as Pikas.
Hitmonlee = hitman/ hit + Bruce Lee
Hitmonchan = hitman/hit + Jackie Chan
Eevee = based around the first two letters in "evolve". Also spelt the same backwards.
Dragonite = Dragon + knight (as in, knight in shining armor)
Wobbuffet = wobbly + tuffet

[Kuvio]

Yeah, I knew all of those! Thanks for making me feel somewhat intelligent! 

[nurd]

Bulbasaur- Bulb + Dinosaur
IvySaur- Ivy + Dinosaur
Venusaur- Venus (Fly trap?) + Dinosaur
Squirtle- Squirt + Turtle
Wartortle+ War (I think + Tortoise + Turtle
Blastoise+ Blast + Tortoise

And where the hell did the big metal cannons in it's back come from? It's like a robot, parts of it's shell fold up, to use cannons. WTF?

[satoshi_matrix]

also something of note: in all of the main games, your character is always in the centre of the screen. You don't actually move around the world, THE WORLD MOVES AROUND YOU.

[michaelthegreat]

In Soviet Russia, Castlevania world moves you!

[nurd]

I think he was talking about pokemon world.

In Soviet Russia, Pokemon run up to you, beat you up, put you in a ball, and make you fight with other people.

[satoshi_matrix]

haha I knew that was comming

[Kuvio]

Hilarious!
