YMMV / Van Helsinki

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Van Helsinki, to a rather large degree. Is he an Unscrupulous Hero who is savvy enough to ditch the somewhat useless Fay, or is he only the Nominal Hero who is basically a mad-dog killer who is pointed at potential enemies and then left to do what he does best: kill them?
• Designated Love Interest: Professor Ford has one scene with Van Helsinki where it is hinted that they have a Cannot Spit It Out relationship, but this is never really referenced again.
