17:12 What's interesting to note about the Japanese Dub is the fact that Alucard's voice is trembling during his conversation with his father, Dracula, and when Alucard conveys his mother's words to him, it almost sounds like he's about to burst into tears. The fact of committing patricide alone is too much of a burden and sin for Alucard to bear, but to do it in the memory of his mother adds another layer to the tragedy that the English Dubs, in all their campiness, were never able to touch up on. In addition, it adds another 'nother layer to the fact that Dracula, despite being a monster, is doing what he must out of sake for his love for Lisa, while Alucard, despite being Dracula's son, is doing what he must to save and protect humanity from the threat of his father. In the end, they're only following their beliefs and doing what they themselves believe to be right.

As a person who majored Japanese in college at the time this game came out, I can tell you that the translation is no where near accurate. For example, at 05:15 Maria really says, "Wait! You look human, but you have the power of Darkness with you..." the middle is pretty much the same and then she ends with, "If you survive, let's meet again." The passion in the Japanese voice actors is far superior.

It makes sense for Dracula to use "watashi", as he's portrayed as elegant and polite despite being the villain. It also shows his coldness towards his son Alucard, as he keeps using 'watashi' when addressing him, which is not commonly used when the addressee is someone you consider close to you (it's too formal). Alucard's way of speaking is much less formal, but he's still polite. It says a lot about his character, he's not interested in coming off as friendly or formal as he's focused solely on his duty, but he still has an elegant demeanor.
