#Kuro chapter 211

[phxntomhives]

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.

Kuro 152 Summary & Thoughts

その執事　別動

That Butler, Independent Action

In chapter 152, we return to the side of O!Ciel, except we follow the actions of Meylin and Ranmao.

Meylin and Ranmao are headed for North Yorkshire, a place 211 miles away from London. Once they get off the train, a man with a humble carrier arrives to collect them, asking whether the ladies are the ones who had come to apply for the position of maid as advertised in the newspaper. Before long, they arrive at the mansion of Baron Heathfield.

Without further delay, the ladies are taken to an older woman who is in charge of employing new staff, Miss Abby. Meylin and Ranmao introduce themselves as Mei and Ran, as a pair of Chinese sisters.

They are asked why they had come to England, and “Mei” explains that she and her sister had come to England with their father on a tea clipper when they were young children. She further explains that disease had robbed them of their parents, and afterwards they worked as maids in London. Unfortunately, the trading company of her former employer had gone bankrupt and fled, deserting the servants. Now having lost their job, the sisters had come to seek new employment.

Miss Abby seems somewhat suspicious as to why the sisters had come all the way to a deserted place from London, a place with many more job opportunities.

Meylin explains that it is because only the current household accepts coloured servants under the age of 30. As she explains however, the older woman notices Meylin’s imperfect English, and “graciously” not reproach middle-ranked servants for having a foreign accent. “Can you two read?” the woman asks, and Meylin replies that they have basic understanding. With this, “Mei and Ran’s” contract has been signed.

“Thank you very much!” - Meylin

“We need anybody we can get” - Abby

At Miss Abby’s words, as though on cue, Meylin makes it unambiguously clear for the reader that she is on a ‘special mission’ in this household.

As “Mei and Ran” are being escorted to their rooms, the maid by the name of Jane explains that there is a shortage of staff because the manor is very large. At present, there are 35 employees, among whom 20 are maids. At this information again, Meylin seems to think something is up.

Once in their new rooms, Jane explains the rules of the household, among which a particularly peculiar one: “Lights-out at 22:00, a strict rule to which all must abide strictly.“

Mei questions the abnormally early hour, and Jane explains that this is the well intention of Lord Heathfield; that all servants should be well rested and well taken care of. Among other ‘mercies’, the servants are obliged to have three meals a day, bathe once every two days, and will even get large carriages arranged for them to explore the streets on their days off.

The Heathfield household does not provide for uniforms; instead, Meylin and Ranmao change into the maid-dress which they brought from ‘their previous employment”, the Phantomhive maid uniform!!

Without further ado, “Mei” is assigned the position as housemaid, while “Ran” is made a laundry-maid. In order to familiarise the new employees in the household, Jane takes the two ladies on a tour through the house.

“Let’s go, Ran” - Mei

“Yes, sister” - Ran

Herewith, chapter 152 comes to an end.

Chapter 152 was rather uneventful; it functioned more like a very long introduction to a new sub-arc. Though uneventful, the location does provide for very interesting open possibilities.

It is most unlikely that the Heathfield household is just any place. Conceivably, O!Ciel deliberately sent Meylin and Ranmao there, exactly because they are persons of colour, and can use England’s institutionalised racism to their advantage: “who would doubt “stupid, coloured women” anyway?”

Another important clue to the future developments of the story may lie with the location of the current setting, and the name ‘Sutcliffe’.

As pointed out by some in the Japanese fandom, the new setting Yorkshire is a place once linked to a notorious name: Peter William Sutcliffe - the Yorshire Ripper.

The Yorkshire Ripper case did not take place until the 1980s, but the fandom is well aware of Yana’s love for references to real historic events (and some time anachronisms).

If I should entertain this highly interesting hypothesis, then it is perhaps possible to say that the Heathfield household is one of the ‘bases’ for R!Ciel’s blood-supply, which could be an indirect reference to the serial murders of women in the 1980s.

The coincidence of Grell’s surname ‘Sutcliffe’ to the location should probably also not be written off as ‘sheer coincidence’. We have previously seen that Grell and Othello are both involved in the current case. Perhaps we can expect some major actions by Grell, Meylin and Ranmao in the next chapters.

Kuroshitsuji chapter 211 spoilers under the cut!

New chapter new anxiety unlocked.

The imagine shown to summarize the chapter terrified me ngl

On the other hand, the cover of my babies is so cute 🥺 yes I adore these two four. I hope they will come back later to do something more

The chapter was intense, I spent my time screaming at Finny to not go towards the light pls 😭 we already lost Snake, I don't need another loss this soon.

Also snake please, since you couldn't survive, I'm begging you to stay dead. Please. For me 💜

I was so happy when Finnian broke the bars for idk what reason. Maybe it's because we are seeing a different expression on him? He is determined to protect the ones he cares about (yes I believe he likes the children) and especially so soon after losing snake I like him going "not in my watch" and destroy everything.

I need to talk about this page now. Like:

It's so pretty? And with 3 single pannels I went from full despair to the happiest girl alive. Plus I like it mirrors when Ciel took his hand in the past 🥺 i wonder if Yana dropped some random hints with the hands (I'm getting paranoid because of this Manga)

But I'm a little petty we didn't get his past fully explained. I hope it means we will get the "Germany is making big bad weapons" back later? Maybe with the comeback of Sieglinde? (I just miss my girl right now)

I admit I wasn't that fond of Archie but it's all in the past, he is my baby and I love him now (Theo is still first tho)

Please Yana let me hug him. He needs a hug. We should all hug him. This page broke my heart once again.

The original tiny child is backkk 💜💜💜

Ok but, this reaction, what do they mean? They can offer something else to Nina that is not money, but what? Is Sebastian politely telling Ciel to fuck off and let her dress him up? WHAT IS THE MEANING?

But I'm confused, I thought everyone had to go undercover? Is he going undercover as R!Ciel? It would be easy if only he didn't have a full demonic contract in his eye? Is Sebastian going to change Ciel's aspect?

Oh wait, maybe Sebastian was hinting to let Nina dress Ciel AS A GIRL? Maybe that's why Ciel is going (o_o) ? Idk

Also I want to shoot the dude who went "well they either come back or drown, any is fine" FUCK YOU. YES YOU ARE A VILLAIN BUT IDC.

Sebastian is there too I guess.

[phxntomhives]

Some more Kuro chapter 211 ramblings. Possible future for Finny?

After seeing yet another time the pannel of Archie and Theo saving Finny mirrored with the fact they are supposed to mirror Ciel and Sebastian, I wonder if we won't get a situation at the end where Theo is actually a bastard/hidden son of a noble and at the end of the serie (after O!Ciel possibly dies but I refuse to acknowledge this) Finny ends up working for him, maybe with Archie as another servant. The other two children (I'm sorry I dont remember their names yet) could maybe mirror Meyrin and Bard?

Or maybe the queen recognize Theo's contribution (as the smartest of the children/the little boss) and decide to give him a title and therefore he can have servants idk

Even better they all live and stay together!

Welcome to my sideblog

That has most likely become my main one. But idk how to change main and second one. So yeah. So if you see @phxntomhives-98 it's still me. I just don't know why sometimes I can't switch accounts and sometimes I can.

I will try to keep this blog mostly related to Kuroshitsuji and twst but who knows what I will like next. From memes (mostly repost because I am not that funny) to theories you can find anything here.

I am not spoiler free BUT I try my best to protect the new fans and hide things under the cut. Unfortunately, I am human, so you may run into spoilers, I am truly sorry.

I am 25, she/her pronouns, INTP. I would love to get to know more people in the fandoms I am in, but eeeh my social skills are lacking. So feel free to hit my dms, I don't bite I promise. I am trying to make more moots/mutuals pls

Here most thing you can find me posting about/comments etc (under the cut because it became long ops)

Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler

Sebaciel shippers do not interact. I will just block and move on. If you see me liking one post tagged like that it's because I am stupid and I don't always read the tags, pls let me know and I will fix the problem.

Now that the important part is over: I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW SEASON AAH. The Weston College arc is my favourite so I am very happy and it feels so nice to see my children here :3

I am up to date with the manga as well, so if you need to cry with someone, I am here. Sobbing.

My fave is Ciel, and Lizzie slander shall not be tolerated (half joking, you are free to dislike her but I am ready to fight at any time to defend her).
