are we excited for the next chapter? :) <- terrified

[bihastuff]

At the beginning of the mission finny said that Theo reminded him of someone, I guess now he figured out that Theo reminds him of Ciel

Ch212, Spoilers part 3

They recall what Finny was like when they first met him, and how he's become fiercely protective of our earl.

Im not sure why Finny is shown surrounded by fire. Or what they say about Snake. But they recall past events with him, too.

Basically, it looks like a lot of recap while they travel to Brighton.

Then a waiter asks if they want anything, and our earl orders tea for Sebastian (according to @such-a-downer). Maybe it's to help him fit in. 😂

And apparently Sebastian makes a slight dig at our earl near the end here.

Quite a different train ride than the others had.

Also note that our earl has eaten his breakfast, and they are now both having tea. While the guy to the far left has been served the same breakfast but has his arms folded and doesn't seem to be eating any of it? Seriously, it looks like he hasn't even picked up a utensil. 🍽️ 🤔

I suppose next chapter they will arrive in Brighton and check into the hotel resort.

What did fans in Japan say about Snake?

Hey Anon !

Well, this is a few months old but basically...

1) our!Ciel ordered his servants to return back to him, so some fans said it was foreshadowing that at least one of the servants will not return.

2) Since Mey was not hurt and Bard was hurt but managed to survive thanks to blood transfusions, then they thought Yana-sensei would probably direct the arc with Finny and Snake in yet another direction for the climax.

Additionally, Finny is stronger than Snake and Snake is the one who has a connection to Doll, whom readers knew was a bizarre doll, so it led Japanese fans to think that Snake might either :

Die despite receiving a blood transfusion

Die but then become a bizarre doll alongside Doll and Joker

I guess the latest chapter won't be enough to have an answer about Snake's death being definite or not, so we'll just have to see whether Japanese fans were right about Snake becoming another bizarre doll.

Would Yana choose this twist ? Maybe. Real!Ciel's side with UT certainly has the power to turn him into a BD. Would it be fucked up for our!Ciel and his household (minus Seb) to face their former fellow ? Absolutely, which is also why I tend to think the BD!Snake is likelier than Snake "simply" dying.

Finally, like @frederickabberline pointed out, if Snake (whom our!Ciel once called his pet) is paralleling Pluto from the first anime...

then it's also likely Mey Finny and Bard will team up to put BD!Snake to rest later. </3

I hope it answers your question, have a good weekend Anon. :3

Random thoughts on the newest Black Butler Manga:

My mood currently btw

But anyways:

Snake said/thought something that I for some reason didn't think about-

He's right

Doll wouldn't do all this for harming children unless ordered to. She still doesn't want to.

In both the anime of Book of Circus and the manga format of the Circus Arc, we see this

It seems like Doll has a record of being too close to someone to the point they may have to leave earlier to plan, naive maybe.

And in this scene from the anime

Go to timestamp 3:22 for it

We see that Doll may have helped in the kidnapping but never did the murdering or the actually nabbing bits of the act, everyone else does while she is mostly look out. And even when she does harm someone, she hesitates and shows clear guilt of what she's doing

Adding that and Peter's later slap in the face you get that Doll is the main one who seems to be the "weakest link" and would have all the chances to run

Plus Doll is great with kids, we get that. So Snake's statement of "you would never do this" even while she tried to stab a child is true

Literally two frames ago:

She didn't seem too happy about someone shooting at a kid, so why is her random af (thoroughly creepy) outburst towards Mable happened then?

Well... Cause Doll would obviously be forced to

I've been saying since she appeared back into our lives Doll has always been giving me a off feeling but to properly get this line I realized it's a little bit on the nose on my end at least, Doll most likely has something in it for her to do this, not just life

What is it?

The manor relies on Undertaker for the bodies they may have-

None of the other circus member's bodies were in any frames and anything, minus the obvious rubble of the manor, traces of them were quickly gotten rid of. Now I assume maybe Sebastian burnt any evidence that can burn aka clothes and some hair partials, but as they would put the bodies down the chut and Undertaker can take them.

My guess, Undertaker took them and promised a newly-alived Doll that he can fix them up and make them alive again if she helps out. This can explain how she was able to know how they all died but not Joker and why she honestly seems so desperate, UT would show her his "reports" of the bodies and edge her towards the role of help. Like what he did with the P4...

Now, if Finny doesn't kill her or she doesn't kill herself cause THIS IS THE MOST HEARTBREAKING THING YOU CAN DO TO HER YANA, WHY?!, I think she can easily help them escape, even if (sadly) she might die in the end. Save Snake and the kids and we'll see from there. Like Ada from the last part of this whole emotional roller coaster ride

Finnian grew up so much too

Kuro chapter 211 spoilers btw

The new chapter broke me ok?

The more I look at it the worst it becomes (in a good way)

Everyone is always like "Ciel grew up so much" and yes I absolutely agree BUT CAN WE PLEASE APPRECIATE FINNY'S GROWTH TOO?

Just to refresh everyone's memory: when Sebastian "died" in Book of murder, at the moment where the servants went looking for the missing key, after he got a moment to "cool off" from the adrenaline and let Sebastian's death sink in he started to cry. As he should, especially because he is a child, he should be allowed to do so. And it's Bard that helps him (and Meyrin) to collect themselves because Ciel needed them, and it was important that they kept on doing what was necessary for him. Tanaka also enforces it. The older men explain it to them and they all can somehow start functioning again, relying on each other for support.

Now back to the new chapter. He just had to leave his colleague and friend to die, with the very high possibility he will never be able to even go back and retrieve the body. He helps the children leaving and almost die doing so, but they end up being relatively save now, and they have to go back to Ciel to report everything. He sees the windmill and remembers the past. His eyes water and then he does what he has to do: he keeps moving to meet with Ciel (while bringing the kids).

There is no Bard helping him. There is no one helping him with his emotions. He has to deal with them alone. He alone has to find the strengh to do every step toward Ciel. And he makes them. Without making a sound, wiping out the tears.

He probably wants to break down and cry but thanks to the past experiences, he knows he can't let himself to do it. He understands how much the situation is complex and how important this mission was. He knows he has to go back to Ciel, even more so since Snake died and the children would not be able to find him alone (and even if they did, there could be other troubles). He is the only one that can do it and so he keeps on moving. Despite everything, he keeps on moving.

I will go back to cry now.

Can't wait to see FOL kids getting adopted by the phantomfam

[grelleswife]

I was wondering why this scrumptious dollop of Phantomfam domesticity gave me such a sense of déjà vu…

And then it hit me.

We have indeed seen the above panel before—during Bard’s dream in Chapter 189, while he lay bedridden after narrowly avoiding death by knife-wielding child.

I’m pretty sure Snake’s version of this snapshot in time takes place a few seconds after Bard’s (I love the added detail of O!Ciel being a little gremlin and grabbing an illicit snack! 😆), but, based on the chef’s singed hair and Mey Rin’s sudsy distress, it has to be the same scene.

Of course, the bond uniting the Phantomhive household has been a common theme for this set of miniarcs. However, whereas these happy memories and gratitude towards their young master have served to galvanize Bard and the other og servants into persevering through their missions, did Yana return to the above flashback in the orphanage arc to emphasize that, this time around, that love will go sour as Snake’s feelings of betrayal over the loss of his circus family lead him to oppose O!Ciel (assuming he survives, that is 😭)?

And it’s interesting that Bard and Snake both found themselves in similar predicaments when this memory drifted through their minds, since they each suffered extreme blood loss from stab wounds inflicted by one of the Star Lords. Is this simple laziness on Yana’s part, or was Bard’s plight meant to foreshadow Snake’s…a tonal shift on sensei’s part from /joking in the sanatorium arc to /serious now, when death appears imminent for the poor footman?

The parallels might not be that deep, but I just needed to get the post-chapter rambles out of my system. 😅

Ch211, Spoilers part 2

Artie and Theo had gone back into the water to get Finny. Maybe he thought he'd been left behind, and they had to reassure him they wouldn't do that? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Finny might have thought he was a goner for sure this time, but Oliver hugs Finny to thank him. Theo isn't wasting much time and gets to thinking about the jars of organs, perhaps the fact they don't have them anymore. What are they going to use as evidence, if they get to the authorities?

Theo says something else, then they look back to the orphanage.

Finny looks at the nearby windpump and is reminded of when he and Snake arrived. Then he starts to cry.

The chapter isn't over just yet. Ultimately, I hope Finny and the others figure out a way to break the windpump and flood the underground facilities, along with any staff that might still be down there.

But....
