Booklet
The booklet contains information specifically about Integra, and character information's about the Valentine Brothers, Abraham Van Helsing, Sir Irons and Sir Penwood. The booklet also contains a new Luke and Jan Valentine afterword manga drawn by character designer Ryoji Nakamura, the production of the OVA, and a couple of manuscripts of the Hellsing manga is also included.

Production
Due to the disastrous scheduling of the first episode; with a bunch of rewrites that leads to the quality being lower than expected, the production team promises to not postpone the release of the second episode any further, with a clear focus on one script and no rewrites needed. A clear release date is set for 25 August of the same year as the first episode, with the catchphrase included in the trailer "Make a Raid," and a clear focus on the battle of the Hellsing Manor. The trailer's first scene includes a scene of Alucard mocking Luke, before then the title card appears and switches to the flashback sequence between Van Helsing and Dracula, then Alucard sitting on his throne before the battle between Jan against Seras and Walter appears.

Trivia

 * The fight between Luke Valentine and Alucard contains a continuity error, showing Luke taking a shot from the Jackal to the head. In the manga, he was shot in the face by the Casull and to the legs by the Jackal, this was fixed in the Blu-ray remaster of the volume done by Madhouse (who also animated episode 5-7). In the HD version on Blu-ray, Alucard now begins the fight with Luke using the Casull.
 * While the continuity error of the Jackal and the Casull was remastered in the Blu-ray version, Alucard's gloves still have the Hellsing-pentagram on them in the opening scene with Dracula and Abraham Van Helsing, despite the fact this was also a continuity error of the original version.
