That son of a bitch actually managed to survive
>>290214843Sick
I like Dietrich
>>290214991Let's see if Bitch queen allows this
>>290214453So he, too, suspects the queen. And I guess Sullivan is insurance in the sense that she'll be more loyal to Ciel than to the queen.
>>290215018What's the age gap?
>>290214606But why the bad eyesight?
>>290214789I was this close to spoiler that one anon in the previous thread lol
>>290214606Honestly that job doesn't seems to be that bad and it gives you emotional resilience to constantly work with corpses>>290215139Looking like a nerd is the ultimate punishment
>>290215197This is going to be a good chapter
>>290215271Wasted
>>290214650..the previous earl was also a crossdresser?
>>290215087Sieglinde is 11, Wolfram is probably in his late 20's - early 30's
>>290214665>Shelterd young masterWell, he did go to Weston even though he's from Germany.
>>290215516This page was drawn with one hand
>>290215559>>290215578>>290215594KEK
>>290214883Me too. Maybe it's just me but he feels kinda similar to Ciel in temperament.
>>290215555There isn't a single shota in it.
>>290215617would he die from this?
>>290215079Cute tsundere fatty
>>290215629We know from last volume Yana is into badass bitchesNo wonder she keeps drawing Mey Rin with exposed leg
>>290215638He took Wolfram's punch pretty well. So I think he'd live. Probably.
>>290214407>>290214530That combined with Ciel beimg dominant while wearing a dress gives me evil ideas.
>>290215697Hmmmm? Why would he not have been taught that?
>>290215828>always wearing those glassesMaybe he is a reaper. Since they are identifiable through having unnatural eye colors.
>>290215891>>290215908Ciel really likes lying to the queen.
>>290216105>I can tell you're bullshitting me>but at least you brought someone back alive for a change
>>290214729i wonder what he was doing in france, recruting blavat maybe?

>>290216311I'd complain about the poor taste of Sebastian ending up in first over Ciel. But that's nothing compared to Grelle making it in to the top five.
>>290216311Fucking Grelle of all people
>>290216183very gayalmost as gay as when legoshi put his fingers down jack's throat
>>290216415grelle is actually fabuloushow vincent scored so high is beyond me given how little overall presence he has.
>>290214883>>290215626So far thare hasn't been a character I outright dislike. Some like Soma and the 3 servants were annoying as fuck at first but eventually grew on me and now I love them, and even the villains are likeable in their own twisted ways.
>>290215578The POV on the bottom right panel was extremely necessary.
>>290216418As well as characters whom contain the number 6 in their polling>Druitt made it>there is no 26How convenient
>>290216407>>290216415At least UT is above him.Japan also has good taste for ranking Grey so high.
>>290214883Same, he's unironically one of my favorite characters.
I expected Soma and Agni to be higherPoor Bard and Mey Rin. I assume Fin has the advantage of just getting some backstory exposition Madame Red still being this popular is surprising Who cares about Joker?
>>290216534If Deitrich had gotten one less vote, he could have joined in. Not fat enough, I guess.
>>290216630>Fin has the advantage ofbeing the cutest. Frankly, it's a travesty he's below Snake.
>>290216311As a Sebastianfag I was happy, though back then I honestly thought Ciel would've taken first place.
>>290216011>As a nerve gas, sarin in its purest form is estimated to be 26 times more deadly than cyanide. The LD50 of subcutaneously injected sarin in mice is 172 μg/kg.>Sarin is highly toxic, whether by contact with the skin or breathed in. The toxicity of sarin in humans is largely based on calculations from studies with animals. The lethal concentration of sarin in air is approximately 28–35 mg per cubic meter per minute for a two-minute exposure time by a healthy adult breathing normally (exchanging 15 liters of air per minute, lower 28 mg/m3 value is for general population). This number represents the estimated lethal concentration for 50% of exposed victims, the LCt50 value. The LCt95 or LCt100 value is estimated to be 40–83 mg per cubic meter for exposure time of two minutes.>The list below compares sarin to some current and historic chemical warfare agents, with a direct comparison to the respiratory LCt50:>Hydrogen cyanide, 2,860 mg/(min·m3) – Sarin is 81 times more lethal>Phosgene, 1,500 mg/(min·m3) – Sarin is 43 times more lethal>Sulfur mustard, 1,000 mg/(min·m3) – Sarin is 28 times more lethal>Chlorine, 19,000 mg/(min·m3) – Sarin is 543 times more lethalwhat in the fuck
>>290216630>Poor Bard and Mey Rin. I assume Fin has the advantage of just getting some backstory expositionThat and being a cute boy. Mey Rin's placement is okay for a female character that doesn't have too much depth yet but poor Bald being below people who we barely know like Phipps and John fucking Brown, I guess fans don't like ojisans that much unless they're super hot. >Madame Red still being this popular is surprisingIt's not, she's the first ever major villain, has an iconic look and is tied to a very popular character.>Who cares about Joker?Yeah I've always been perplexed by Joker's popularity as well, I don't think dude is likeable enough to be this well-regarded by the fandom .
>>290216764kek
Oscar is hard carrying Snake in the popularity poll
>>290216891Sebastian as the number 1 should already be capable of defeating the snakes
>>290216820I am that one snake. You know which one.
>>290216465only truly despicable imo was baron kelvin.
>>290216465>So far thare hasn't been a character I outright dislike. Druitt
>>290216661suddenly rose of versailles?
>>290216465>So far thare hasn't been a character I outright dislike.Outside characters that are meant to be despicable, I don't like Grell and Lizzy.
>>290216994Even he is relatable to me in a tragic way. He was a fellow ugly bastard that became so obsessed with a shota that his mind and body became that of a monster that caused harm to the being he originally loved. He's a reminder to others about what happens when you don't control your love for cute boys.>>290217066Nah. He's funny.
Thats it for the day bros until tomorow
>>290217308Thanks OP! And now that the arc is over, I want to post the opening and ending themes of the Emerald Witch Arc anime here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmAT3soCBFQ&list=RDKmAT3soCBFQ&start_radio=1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JIZnEOubUU&list=RD9JIZnEOubUU&start_radio=1I thought there were quite a few spoilers, and I love this ending!
>>290216820Uh what is he doing here
>>290216676Snek has that autism gap moe
>>290217129For me, it's just Grelle. I am at worst indifferent towards everyone else.
>>290217367The ED is simply breathtaking, I hope it won some kind of award.
Did Black Butler start the trend of dark fantasy fujo/otomebait manga that eventually came to define GFantasy?
>>290214407>>290214441Lots of little parallels between Sullivan and Ciel and OG in this arc, but this is my favorite one: she used a knife to open up the stomach of her most beloved person - only, for good.
>>290216750Finally, some fucking MEAT. Gimme Irish boxing ring fightfag arc now >>290217066Hello, me.>>290216969Sometimes Yana goes a little hard and it's always cool>>290217130>>290217160Awww.
>>290214453>I trust you least of allBased Ciel.Btw having Sullivan on his side is a double insurance, because she could be the only one who dabbles a bit in demonology, and has aproven record of creating something new.
>>290216011Ciel looks extra hot in this panel
>>290217103undertaker sexooooooooo
>>290214606Why Grelle killed himself is pretty much a given, but why did the other guys do it?America playboy feels like debt.>>290215578Holy angle>>290216630Joker's design was pretty nice.
>>290216415I like Grelle well enough, he's dumb fun. And he can be actually intimidating when he's not just fawning over Sebastian.Or maybe I'm just letting my recent rewatch of S2 taint my mind with non-canon characterization.
>>290218661she*
>>290218700Please don't even start. Not that I would mind if he was trans, but the source material always call him a he, so let's not pretend to be xitter culture warriors and call him a she when it's clearly not Yana's intention.
>>290218623Always thought Ronald has killed himself after being heartbroken by some chick.
>>290218700kys
>>290218623How about the undertaker? Why would such a jolly fellow kill himself?Also, unless a pleasant afterlife is relatively easily attainable, suicide seems like a pretty good option. You get super powers and the job doesn't seem that bad. And you can apparently retire or defect.
>>290215383>>290215087According to Yana herself, Wolfram is younger than Agni (which would make Wolf in his mid-late 20s), Agni is 31
>>290219386Second time I read this as "me gusta" today, fml
>>290219489Just beautiful
>>290219498Glad it wasn't just me.
I tried watching the anime multiple times but the first episode bored me so much that I always dropped it.Is the whole show like the first episode?
>>290215271Noooooooooo! Damn you Hopkins!
>>290219705Season 1 suffers from a variety of problems, mediocre animation, straying away from canon into a timeline that won't fit with later seasons, and the arcs themselves aren't that interesting.It does get better. I wish I could tell you to start from Book of Circus / Season 3, but the first 15 eps of S1 are pretty much needed to get an understanding of the world, its rules and the main characters.
>>290218907It's been heavily implied that he was an workaholic autist just like William while he was an active grim reaper and he was using his register number instead of his real name so it wouldn't surprise me if he has a deep disdain for his past human life. Even so, it's pretty obvious he's using humor as a coping method.
>>290219498If it makes you feel any better, I first read "Augusta" as "Augustus", so I assumed she was referring not to one of the other two women, but to a historical figure associated with the love of boys in some way. I thought that either the first Roman emperor had some tendencies I wasn't aware of, or that she was talking about another Augustus. Then I noticed it's actually the female version of the name.
>>290219901Fuck. Maybe I'll force myself to sit through the first season then
>>290217048>without a master to serve, i could no longer be a black butler© by yana toboso, serialized in square enix's monthly gfantasy magazinebravo yana
>>290219901>mediocre animationReally? I can understand the complaints about the filler but the animation itself was awesome. You can look at all the clips people uploaded to sakugabooru.
>>290220396All that I can remember from early seasons is that I ended up reaching a point where if I saw that godawful 3D horse carriage animation one more time I would have had a fucking aneurysm
>>290214714The boy feet panel necesary?Also nipple
>>290220785it helps explaining how anyone could endure being the servant of such a demanding brat.
>>290215271She looks even tinierCute
So why did the mustard gas give Ciel PTSD? It's not like Sullivan snuck some Fear Toxin in there too.
>>290221732I don't think it was the mustard gas itself. The purification ritual was probably what triggered his PTSD with Sebastian inducing vomiting and everything else.
>>290221732Doesn't have to be a reaction from the gas itself. I think being forcefed the medicine just like he used to be fed by the satanists is what triggered that whole episode.
>>290216201>>290216219I had thought that maybe the undertaker was trying to do all the zombie shit to resurrect Ciel's sacrificed twin(?). But I wouldn't think that would involve whatever connection is necessary for this dream.And what's up with these last two panels? >>290216126That strikes me as a strange reaction to being told he looks like his father. Unless it's about who is saying it. If the queen was involved in the attack on the Phantomhives and John Brown is some kind of devil, reaper, or angel then chances are he's the one who killed Vincent. So that comparison would be a bit disturbing if Ciel does suspect that.The queen is definitely the most suspicious party anyway. Who did it isn't a question of motive. Half the people Ciel meets have reason to want him dead. And Vincent seems to have been even worse. Rather, it's a question of means. Vincent may not have had Sebastian, but he was employing people like Tanaka and he likely had more than five people on his staff. They weren't overrun like that by some random noble or cult or foreign strike force. But the queen definitely could have done it. Especially if she has her own supernatural servant.
>>290214518I thought garden variety meant average.
>>290214754kek
>>290214809Zooming all the way in on Sebastian's face on the last panel. What did he mean by this?
>>290215229That's a wedding dress.
>>290214779He could no longer... what? Be reanimated?
>>290223051Yep
>>290215271"He" has claimed another victim.
>>290215371She may die after meeting with the queen and she doesn't even get to chose the menu for the next day. absolutely cruel.
>>290215638Tank was codeword. how did he know to call it that?
>>290215867There aren't a lot of glasses wearing characters other than the reapers, right?The few that come to mind are all women.I'm still not certain if Sascha is a woman, the rest are men.
>>290223256He says he knew about Britain's tank development program. So him knowing the codeword would make sense. There's also the possibility that he simply used the Japanese word for tank, which is a purely descriptive term and not a former codeword.>>290223328Everyone in Sapphire Owl. Tanaka too.
>>290223256"Tank", as we know, is English for "Panzer." Ciel is not good at German.
>>290216415100% of the women I know the tastes of in regards to the series fucking love Grelle.
>>290216764Traitorous snakes!
>>290216571>just his picturelel
>>290223425>Everyone in Sapphire Owl. Tanaka too.I'm afraid I blocked most of the school arc out of my memory by now.I'll give Tanaka a pass for being old though.
>>290223425I remember him mentioning the poison gas, but not the tank.
>>290224029>>290188065
>>290223513It's because he panders to both fujos and lgbtrannies and most women involved in fandomspheres fall into at least one of these categories.
>>290216571How wonderfully morbid.
>>290216764Top Ten Manga Betrayals
>>290223513Have any of them explained why? I don't see the appeal, even for women.
>>290215022>So he, too, suspects the queeni mean given the shit she's pulled on him its not surprising
>>290214598i believe those two are from the musical
>>290215245foreshadowing
>>290216750ONEGAI MUSCLE
>>290224202oh
>>290215022The queen already tried to frame him for murder for the suspension of hiding so,ething
>>290216085>didn't destroy itMore insurance?And I love how often it's unclear whether Ciel is acting entirely out of self interest or maybe letting a little bit of altruism slip in to his decision making. The gun to her head pep talk and lying about the sarin could just be him securing Sullivan as an ally. But it could also be him genuinely trying to help her create a new life for herself. And the two aren't mutually exclusive. But depending on who asked, he'd give entirely answers about his motivations.
>>290214429I'm surprised Yana didn't kill him or for now?
>>290215317He's a fag at least
>>290215018My ciel and sullivan ship, sank....last volume is the part where I stopped last time
>>290215578beautiful
>>290215578Can Ciel even feel lust or love for someone else after the trauma and torture he was subjected to and all the horrible things he has done (including his pact with Sebastian)?
>>290228525Or destroying it would cause more harm since it's fucking gas
>>290229904He just hit puberty. Hormones are gonna hit him like a truck
>>290216183>>290216201WHAT THE FUCK
>>290229904Maybe he prefers big boobs.
>>290216327>Snake is 6thDo you think Yana planned for that since the beginning?
>>290216661Man this episode reminds me of Gintama
>>290217308Thanks OP
>>290229904He only gets off from burning buildings
>>290216105>>290216126>>290222141If Vincent knowing too much/getting rebellious or something like that was the reason for the attack(he seemed to think he might die soon in flashbacks), then the Queen and John praising Ciel for being like Vincent comes off as a backhanded compliment at best and a direct threat at worst.
>>290230876A direct confrontation between the Queen and the Phantomhive estate seems inevitable
Bump
>>290229904If he weren't on a revenge quest where he'll die if he stops, he could eventually recover to some extent. But as he is, probably not.
>>290217160>Love is a wonderful thing but it can also give birth to horrific disasterI wonder if this is about R!Ciel's yandere brotherly love or UT's obsession with Claudia and the Phantomhives in general... or maybe it's both.
>>290230876>a direct threatThat's how I see it. Especially since they can clearly tell he's withholding information again. Which would mean they want him to know and are telling him to get back in line or else. I'm too lazy to look back, but I wonder if they've previously said anything suspicious during the queen's outbursts. Because here that's what gave John Brown the opportunity to throw in that comment comparing Ciel to Vincent.
