I have a very strong belief that adonis owns a duck that he named jameela and everyone loves her. He gets her drinks like the strawberry ice water duck
Koga: Just remember. If ya try n' pull any funny business, I'll crush ya mercilessly.
This feels like somethin' Adonis would say, but… I'll protect UNDEAD.

Adonis: Through the "subsidiary" HELLSING, we've been able to expand the scope of our activities.
Thanks to that, I believe we will be able to provide adequate service to all our fans, satisfying everyone.
Though it does feel a bit lonely to be separated from our real senpai.
Koga: Not like that's anythin' new. After all, we were separated for a bit right after those two graduated from Yumenosaki, too.
Things've just gone back to bein' the way they were.
Adonis: That does not make it less lonely. But it can't be helped, this seems to be the best solution at the moment.
We will maintain the status quo and continue with our idol activities while investigating the mastermind behind the "AIIE" experiment.
By uncovering the truth, we can find a fundamental solution to the problem.
As for what comes afterwards, we will have to cross that bridge when we come to it.
Koga: It ain't our job to think too hard. All we can do is to keep tirelessly dealin' with each problem as it comes, like children pilin' stones on the banks of the Sanzu River.¹
Just hopin' that maybe this time, it won't all fall apart.
Adonis: It's a precarious tightrope to walk. All we can do is try our best not to fall.
Koga: Yeah. So somehow or other, we'll find out who's behind this incident n' destroy 'em before anythin' goes wrong.
Adonis: …But what if I really am the culprit?
Koga: The hell? How the fuck could it be you? I'd believe it was almost a~anyone else over you! Ya can't even bring yerself to kill bugs, can ya?
Adonis: Do you remember the dream we saw during the experiment?
In that dream, we witnessed memories of the past which seemed to differ slightly from the actual events which occurred in reality, and there was one particular incident which stood out.
Delinquents calling themselves "vampires" ran around causing trouble, weakening the town's security.
The leader of those "vampires" was said to be me, Otogari Adonis.
Koga: The only one claimin' that was the past Sakuma-senpai. Even in that shitty dream, there wasn't any real proof, n' you were released in the end due to inconclusive evidence.
Adonis: Yes. But because of that, the atrocities being committed by the "vampires" did not stop.
In real life, Hasumi-senpai — wielding the student council's authority — lead DEADMANZ to suppress the delinquents.
But in the dream, the "vampires" continued to run wild.
Even the past Sakuma-senpai could not convince them to stop.
Though they were originally supposed to be his devotees, they had become completely dedicated to their new boss, only listening to his orders.
Koga: And that new boss was you?
So what, you tryin' to say yer on the same level as Sakuma-senpai?
Adonis: Of course not, I don't have that kind of charisma. But there are no other suspects, and even though those memories were distorted, I cannot help but to feel that Sakuma-senpai would never make a mistake.
If he says I'm the culprit, I'm sure it must be true.
Koga: God is always just, huh? C'mon, just what do you take that guy for?
Curious as I am about that, though, it's not really relevant. All that stuff was just a dream. The problem is this absolute chaotic mess we're dealin' with in reality.
Adonis: …Is this truly reality? Or is it just another dream?
Strangely, it doesn't feel real. Everything's kind of floaty.
Koga: Well, it is a seriously unrealistic turn of events. But no matter what, this is the world we live in, and this is where our souls reside...
So we have no choice but to keep doing our best to survive.
Rei II: […Done talkin' yet?]
Koga: ……
Rei II: [Cause we're good to go over here~ Don't worry, we followed yer instructions properly when dealin' with Hasumi-bou.]
[It's seriously tough recreatin' that old man talk though, so he might be a bit suspicious.]
[Buuut, even someone like him'll have a hard time guessin' this kinda science fiction-y turn a' events.]
Adonis: We thought so too. Dealing with Hasumi-senpai's interrogation must've been tough. Thank you for your hard work Sakuma-senpai, Hakaze-senpai.
Kaoru II: [……]
Koga: Hey, Adonis, ya don't gotta bother showin' any respect to these assholes. But, weeell, you're the kinda guy who even speaks kindly ta yer harmonica, so I guess it can't be helped, huh?
The fake Sakuma-senpai's at least tolerable, but the fake Hakaze-senpai's especially bad. He won't even talk to us, let alone make eye contact.
There ain't any need t' be polite ta someone who's so rude.
Kaoru II: [Hey, so like~?]
[Could you please stop trying to get me involved and stuff? I'm like, so not into the idea of investing time and effort into guys, y'know~? ♪]
[That's why I haven't been talking. I'm doing my job properly, so it's not a problem, right?]
Koga: O, oh, 'kay… Man, there's somethin' kinda nostalgic about this Hakaze-senpai...
Right, these guys're copies of us from a while ago. Guess that means the fake Hakaze-senpai's still actin' like a dumb playboy.
Well then, since people might get suspicious if I go around callin' ya fakes in public, from here on out I'll call ya Playboy and Vampire Bastard ².
Rei II: [Do as ya like.]
[By the way, Hasumi didn't come by just to interrogate us. He was apparently actin' as a messenger for someone in the upper echelons a' RhythLin.]
[Seems like our recent achievements have been acknowledged, n' we're gettin' a tour soon.]
[We'll be travelin' nationwide, singin' for the sake a' the fans who love our "radical n' immoral" selves.]
[Rock, Rock, Rock n' Roll ♪]
[Ain't it great? It's like a dream come true, right, Puppy?]
Koga: …The ones I wanted to sing with weren't you two, though~
Well, whatever, it can't be helped. Until the mastermind's been defeated, I'll just obediently follow the path fate's laid out for me.
Koga: Just remember. If ya try n' pull any funny business, I'll crush ya mercilessly.
This feels like somethin' Adonis would say, but… I'll protect UNDEAD.

tl;dr: A saying meaning to repeatedly perform a difficult task for no recognition/reward.
The Sanzu River is the river said to be at the border to the underworld, which the dead must pass over to reach the afterlife. The weight of a person's accumulated sins, offset by their merits, is said to determine how difficult the crossing will be, as well as whether the person will go to heaven or hell. Children who die before their parents are said to be too young to have accumulated any merit, while also being weighed down by the sin of being unfilial to their parents. Due to their young age, instead of being condemned to hell, these children are instead told to demonstrate filial piety by piling up stones to build a pagoda honoring their parents, which will allow them to accumulate enough merit to safely cross the river. However, whenever a child gets close to finishing their work, a demon will come by and topple the stones, forcing the child to start over again.
For those unfamiliar with UNDEAD's ! era stories, these were Koga's old nicknames for Kaoru and Rei. He switched to using their names after Repayment Fes, with the implication that it was because he wholeheartedly felt them worthy of his respect from that point on.
I've never ever resonated with savage love affair more than i ever have this song makes my ass shake and my eyebrows wiggle as i prance around the room Rumpelstiltskin skin
MAKES IT EVEN BETTER I LOVE SINGING AS REI (low vocal cords lets go)
