Chapter 212 (Come now, our holiday of revenge awaits…)

There’s something about the blurb, “The Butler : Heading South” that bothers me. It is a dictum and it means “if something head south, it begins to fail or start going bad.”

Now, I don’t want to claim that it is a freaking premonition, but of course knowing Yana T it could be a double whammy. On the surface, she only meant it in a geographical sense. From London Victoria train station, modern transport will take one an hour to reach Brighton using the southern line.

It is interesting that Ciel and S’ coach is No. 6.

If man is five

If man is five

If man is five

Then the devil is six

Then the devil is six

Then the devil is six

Then the devil is six

And if the devil is six

Then God is seven

Then God is seven

Then God is seven

The Devil is so funny, I am pretty sure he had fun searching for a free carriage that carries his number, his symbol.

Sebastian: *Hihihi, would the Young Master get the joke?* (To himself)

Ciel: (to himself knowing that his devil is sometimes corny) Perish the thought, Devil.

Their minds discussing but Ciel, knowing the quagmire he is in only gets to communicate with his servant telepathically, hence the meeting of their eyes on the third page. *

* I jest.

[id: It's a drawing of Itadori and Fushiguro both in their school uniforms. Itadori is depicted as Blasian with buzz cut, curly pink hair, and Fushiguro is depicted with brown skin, piercings, and hair that has grown into a short mullet. Sukuna's markings are visible on Fushiguro's face and he is in the midst of lunging at Itadori, hands tightly gripping his jacket. Itadori is also grabbing Fushiguro, but his grip is softer, as if he were pulling Fushiguro into an embrace to take the fall. While they are both crying, Fushiguro has his mouth open in a yell whereas Itadori is softly smiling at him. /end id]

Ch 212: That Butler, Going South

Please respect the spoons (time and energy) and money I invested into this post. Do not use my content without credit.

16 pages including the cover.

Basically, the chapter covers Sebastian and Ciel traveling by train to Brighton, discussing the servants’ missions as Ciel enjoys breakfast in the dining car.

(Remember that all the missions are happening simultaneously more or less, so Ciel doesn’t know how successful or not they all were.)

It’s actually quite brilliant of Yana and her team to time things like this. This chapter is a great way for fans who may have lapsed during the servant arcs to catch up again, or even for new fans lured in by the anime to get a taste of the manga.

It’s also interesting to see a how a some of the scenes mirror panels/moments from previous arcs.

For example, the shot of Sebastian and Ciel on the train together is akin to the end of the circus arc. (And admire how much her art has improved!)

Later, we get a (shocking, to me, anyway) shot of Sebastian sitting at the table with Ciel as equals, reminiscent of when they ironed out the details of the contract.

The chapter begins with the two of them on the train in their first class compartment, en route to Brighton from Reading.

Sebastian, ever the conscientious butler, notices the time and mentions breakfast, but Ciel is cautious: they’re fugitives, after all. Sebastian points out that most people wouldn’t expect a criminal to be casually taking a meal in the dining car. Seeing his point (and since Ciel is driven by his stomach lol), they go to have breakfast together.

They then discuss the servants’ missions and what they expect. For example, Ciel brings up the point that Lau can only be trusted so far, and he is the one who first brought their attention to the whole mess back in the Campania arc with Karstein Hospital. And he is a mafia boss.

But, both of them acknowledge that Bard is the smartest and most capable of the four servants (Bard, Mey, Finny, Snake), and that he managed to make it to the UK all the way from America alone. Plus, he’s trustworthy. Ciel points out that’s precisely why he paired them up. (Seeing them compliment my man 😭😭… Take that, Bard haters!)

They also discuss the mission Ran Mao and Mey are undergoing and ofc Snake and Finny. (I’m sorry but I’m tired and I don’t care as much about the other servants as Bard so I’m… not going into detail on their pages. Maybe tomorrow if I have time and spoons I’ll make an add-on to this going over those pages.)

This panel is one of my fave moments in the chapter… it translates more or less like this:

Mey: For our lord

Bard: With pride

Snake: With my life on the line

Finny: I do the assigned work and see it through to the end

Despite initially being wary of leaving their compartment, when Sebastian suggests they leave the dining car, Ciel wants to stay and stretch his legs. It’s only a few hours to Brighton by train.

Looks like next week we’ll start the arc in earnest and maybe learn how they plan to infiltrate the hotel.

Note: The last panel is actually Ciel speaking, so apologies for that error in translation.

Have an image of Snake introducing his snakes to Ciel. 🥰😭

I got so used to Itadori having those little markings under his eyes that I'm just realizing since chapter 212, he doesn't have them anymore.

They start to fade the moment Sukuna transfers to Megumi's body.

And then not there anymore!!

How am I just realizing this!?

(This is a meme, no real spoilers)

Sebastian is drinking tea and I'm convinced that he's pretending to drink from an empty cup like a toddler playing tea party.

He's talking about making Megumi his vessel... Isn't he. The foreshadowing kills me it absolutely is awful how I know what's gonna happen😐

My brain chemistry was changed when I heard Megumi's VA saying "So start Saving me… Itadori"😿

Thank you Jump Festa and Akutami for this scene! My psychology also thanks you.😊😄

Alright, chapter 212 of "Vinland Saga"!

There's not a whole lot to talk about this chapter, other than we see war breaking out fully now between the Lnu and the Nords, with apparently no way to stop it now.

What's interesting is to see how Miswekepu'J has lost control of the situation. Ironic, since he's the one that really started it. And now he's being thrust into a position of being the only one who's able to save Thorfinn's life. It's a little on the nose that circumstances would turn out this way, that the man who started the war and purposefully stirred hostilities between the two groups now is the only one who can save the life of the Nords' leader. An ideal scenario would be one in which Thorfinn and Miswekepu'J, as respected leaders of their people, can find a peace accord between one another and impart a peace dictate onto their people. But, once war breaks out, there's really no stopping it, not realistically, anyway, until one side defeats the other.

It doesn't help that the more war hungry members of the Lnu seem hellbent on destroying the Nords, even to the point of intervening in the escape of the women and children, sending canoes out to intercept the Nords boats. They want to slaughter them, and given Miswekepu'J's loss of control over his own people, I don't see how he can stop any of it from happening, the same way Thorfinn's lost control of his people, too, and the situation entirely. This clearly isn't about driving the Nords from their land at this point, or defending themselves from the Nords, but simple blood-lust and greed.

I'm glad Thorfinn's not dead, though obviously, given his grievous injuries, he's not out of the woods yet, and I doubt he'll be able to make any kind of recovery in time to join the fight.

Even if he could, the Nords are hopelessly outnumbered, and as Ivar's brother said, there's no way they can win. The only, true course of action that the Nords should be taking is to run away.

But then you've got stubborn fools like Einar and Ivar who refuse to give up, even in this hopeless situation. We see Einar's own inexperience here, with him wanting to shoot the Lnu who are pressing up against their fortress, and Ivar's brother pointing out to him that he needs to just focus on putting out the fire. Picking off a few Lnu here and there with arrows isn't going to stop them at all from breaching the wall and pouring into the fortress, and once that happens, it's going to be a slaughter.

Though I notice there might be a conflict brewing between Saqamawmu'in and Gao'oqi. Gao'oqi lied about where he'd been the previous night and why he wasn't at the meeting, meaning his and his followers raid on the village wasn't sanctioned by the rest of the group. But still, Saqamawmu'in seems just as hellbent on war as any of them. If one of them kills the other, I don't see how that will change the course of anything, other than it might cause some kind of infighting to break out and allow the Nords to escape that way.

We'll have to wait and see.

just another day for itadori yuuji!
