I personally don't think Ciel was screaming and crying inside when he hugged Sebastian. Hugging a teacher wasn't necessary for the act. Ciel lost his parents, his brother, he is repressing his emotions a lot and I feel like deep inside he's desperate for affection. So desperate so he would even seek comfort in Sebastian sometimes. (He also hid behind Sebastian on the Campania when Viscount Druitt appeared.) P.S. I would definitely be in the violet house! 💜 Sorry for the long comment.
In book of circus at the end, when sebastian is holding him up like a little kid , ciel does hug his shoulders and hides his face in his neck like a scared or tired child while he orders sebastian to burn everything. So i agree with you.
The monster that Violet draws around Ciel at 1:15:57 is the Jabberwock, from Lewis Carroll’s poem, “The Jabberwocky”, which appeared in the sequel to “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, titled “Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There.”
1:59:44 this is why I love black butler and how bat shit insane the plot goes for every arc, because no sane person would think of this except for Yana Toboso herself
Bro I have the busiest life rn with every day coming home at 9PM from musical theater rehearsals at school. I have NO time yet watching your videos never feels like a waste. Just enjoyable
The part where Ciel confronts Maurice brings me back to when my mom confronted my bully in fourth grade and asked him why he was picking on me I was very sick kid in and out of hospital for most of my life and she said to him in front of the whole 4 year group and she said I know that he had a crush on me and his face went red and everyone was laughing at him I didn’t see him after grade 4 until grade seven even to this day I will never get a answer to it even as a 22 year old adult I still have medical issues I to deal with and yet I am still here I wasn’t even meant to survive birth but here I am still here at the age of 22 your sense of humour really sometimes helps me when I am not having a good day
@@Claudia_Crimson_585 she died form bleeding on the brain after a fall and blacked out before she hit the ground and she was already almost dead when she got to hospital they put her on a ventilator but the damage had already been done and she passed away in her sleep at the hospital she was only 53 when she died
This is my favorite arc of black butler. It's nice seeing Ciel in an environment such as school. The danger might not be the same as he is used to, but the social danger is very real. Honestly I like how we are able to see Ciel showcase his brilliance as a strategist and a leader to his house during the game. It was so cool seeing that play out and It was really goofy the way Yana added so many elements of comedy to it. This is also really random but I feel like I saw somewhere in BB that The undertaker was at least 500 years old ? If I'm wrong please correct me but I believe it was during the green witch arc where Othello was talking about their time with undertaker ? This is very vague in my memory so I might just be making stuff up but that just made me think of the possibility that the undertaker might be related to the Phantomhives but way down the lineage rather than his grandparents (maybe???) idk, haha. Either way, I also think that the undertaker is trying to save ciel from his cruel fate and essentially, stopping the Phantomhive 'curse', that has ruined the family for generations now, this including his own family when he was alive. P.S: Thank you for making this video! Can't wait for the next !
I don't remember if we get an actual estimate of Undertaker's age, but he's always felt very ancient to me. Like significantly older than all the other reapers, or having been a reaper the longest. But one point of interest in the grandpa Undertaker theory is when seeing his family tree in the green witch arc, the dates for Ciel's grandparents are obscured, and people have taken that as a hint that his grandfather's dates may be off. I think most people believing that Undertaker is his grandfather do so with assumption that Undertaker was already a reaper when getting involved with the Phantomhive family. But it could be an interesting twist that he's related farther down the line, when he was human.
Because this is not one of my most favourite arcs I dont read it often. This video was a wonderful refresher especially with S4 coming out soon. SO, im OBSESSED with Sebastian and his characterisation both human-like and demon-like. I thought that last chapter of the arc, when he told Undertaker 'you underestimate me' that what he was seeing was basically a weird vision/trauma. Something ridden with anxiety where Undertaker would grab Ciel much like he did in BoA. And what was playing out was that vision as the tea cup fell so Sebastian dropped the order and went to Ciel's side. And in relation to that when he turns and tells Ciel that he wont be robbed of his soul (AAAAAAHHHH ITS SO CHILLING IN A GOOD WAY) Ciel looks up at him with an expression I can only read as 'oh shit, ive got this demon on a spider's thread of a leash'. He recognised he has no real control or authority over Sebastian. Anywho the Green Witch Arc is my FAVOURITE! Im over here shaking with excitement cause we get to see a) one of the scariest (and best) full-page panel of Sebastian being unsettling and b) him just being a boss and inhaling lethal gases. Thank you for this!
I'm very excited to reread the Green Witch arc! That's the arc that was publishing when I got caught up on the manga, and I haven't reread it at all, so I'm very hype to experience again all together!
I can tell that people are going to get confused about the 'public school' business so I'll explain it to the best of my abilities! In the UK, until very recently (likely through people consuming more American content), schools were commonly denoted as 'public' or 'state'. They were given this name based on who was paying for the tuitions of the attending children. 'Public' school's tuitions were payed for by members of the public (usually a family member) and are closest to the American private school. They are not actually really available to the public, you have to be pretty wealthy or some sort of child prodigy to go to these places. 'State' schools, on the other hand, are institutions where the child's tuition is payed for by the State (Government) and are much more similar to the American public school system. A subsector of the 'State' school is the 'Grammar' school, these are schools that are more similar to private schools in looks, traditions and education but are accessible to the public as long as the child passes the academic tests and requirements that the school enforces. TL;DR, The 'Public School Arc' doesn't follow a public school as Americans know it but rather a wealthy private school that is called a public school as the State doesn’t fund the tuitions of the pupils, but rather members of the (elite) public.
Aaaand finally finished the video XD and yet I'm *still* working on my digital artwork I honestly just wanted to have a better understanding of the arcs I haven't gotten to see yet- and while I am making an effort to read through the manga, I have a short attention span so it's little by little- and yet at the same time I want to information right then and there- but then reading through the wiki is again- tedious. I'm so glad you're putting in so much effort to sum up the arcs in such detail 😊 After getting back into my Black Butler obsession, this really helps with my character creations and expanding the universe as a whole. You're really the hero we want, need, and deserve 🙏
I would just to point out that most private schools to this day have "prefects" I go to a private school (so a school that charges tuition) and Prefects are actually selected from the 12th graders, or the seniors or the school, its usually 4 from different "houses" or "islands" which are set as pretty much the most infulential 4 students, so the student body is under them, the student council and even exchange students. And yes we do have houses, and i'm actually in the red team for my school. They also get special ties or certain additions to their uniform which signifies their status as a prefect.
Fantastic video--this was so much fun! 💕 I think I would be in Violet Wolf house as I spend a lot of time painting, drawing, dancing, reading and writing. 🌿💜 The Public School Arc was so enjoyable to read!! There was a ton of character development, sprinkled in comedy, and I greatly appreciated having fun moments with every character. I kept having to put the manga down due to laughing so much through reading these chapters!! Lau showing up with a bunch of beautiful women was hilarious, and 100% on-brand for him. Also, the grandpa Undertaker theory is one of my favorite ones! I like to think he's Ciel's great great great grandfather or something like that, and the Phantomhive's are all his descendants. It would be interesting if Claudia was his great great granddaughter from when he was alive, or something similar. Even if it's not true, I can't wait to see Undertaker's backstory revealed!
I think I also would be either in Blue or Violet House I had a history of attending drama club as a child and was good at drawing, but I am also dis well academically... so otd probably depend (personally I wouldnt mind being one of art kids just because Violet is my favourite among P4s). I can't wait for anime and how they handle animation there are so many scenes I am looking forward to
Rewatching your video with a new comment 5:58 Those nicknames you gave them XD 8:00 Hey! ... Yeah your right 13:09 He thought people would recognize him in 'Red Butler' too, but we see that even Alister never recognizes him 14:51 Ciel does seem to have gotten better at dressing and cleaning himself, I head-canon it as Ciel learning this stuff because Doll made fun of him 17:15 Preist/Teacher fetish is weirdly common 20:44 Johann is an underrated villain, he was funny 22:09 Creepy cult vibes aside, this school does sound awesome 23:09 That's fair, I think it translates to 'acting servant' 27:24 I think that's just an edgy face tattoo/make-up, we've seen Yana draw other characters with face scars and usually draws them gross looking 28:47 He is mimicking what N. McMillian did 32:35 Sebastian would be harsher when grading Ciel 33:51 In Yana's doodles she has an image of Bluer and Redmond as kids and in the text she says that they are childhood friends 36:24 I know I already made this joke, but; Ciel 'traps are gay', N. McMillian 'traps are NOT gay', Maurice 'touching girls is gay' 36:44 I figured it was him noticing that Ciel was good looking and well dressed and therefore a threat to his position 37:52 Ciel is jealous that his 'Not-father' is better with the other kids 45:18 N. McMillian is the unsung hero of this arc 57:19 I think they were just going to strip him and take photos, nothing more 1:03:32 Ciel's classmates are adorable 1:03:59 Big brother Soma embarrasses little brother Ciel 1:11:57 I too thought he was gay 1:13:04 I think he was just teasing Ciel, Cheslock too 1:17:25 N. McMillian would be a skilled investigator, if he wasn't so submissive to every authority figure 1:34:00 Bluer's family didn't appear much, but they made what little time they did have count 1:34:11 Oh they heard alright, Lizzy was defending what's hers 1:35:59 He is also a Marquess it was a Marquess' job to defend Britian from foreign criminals, like how it is was an Earl's job to defend Britian from organize crime... A Viscount's job is to collect taxes 1:44:04 Funniest out of context image of Lizzy 1:47:21 I like the part where Mey-Rin calls children 'a bunch of sissies' for being bad at sports, maybe Mey-Rin deserves to be single 1:51:50 Tanaka is a gem 1:59:21 Fun fact the 'over-the-edge-tactics' Blue Team uses against Green Team are based on how England beat Australia during the 1889 cricket tournament 2:05:41 I like how Bardroy still remains loyal to Ciel 2:06:13 Greenhill is chad, its a shame he turned out to be murderer 2:12:20 Ball tampering is indeed illegal in cricket 2:15:29 I like that Soma and N. McMillian push Ciel towards Lizzy, I like that Phipps has a chicken on his head, I like that Francis chooses to dance with Tanaka instead of Alexis (her and Vincent must see him as a father), I like that Redmond dances with the girl he made fun of earlier, I like that Harcourt got himself one of Bluer's older sisters (the boy has rizz) and I like that Edward dances with Paula, its just such a fun scene 2:28:47 Interpreted this scene as UT and Sebastian laughing at the P4's being duped into falling into a cult-like mentality, I don't think Ciel was being hypocritical, killing someone for disagreeing with your way of doing things (even if that person is vile) is not the same as killing someone who transgresses upon the innocent in a more permanent manner 2:31:56 Why Mel, you're ruining your hardened criminal image 2:39:08 It also feels like a Black Butler 2 reference 2:39:42 This image is why I don't think Ciel was being hypocritical, the people Ciel kills are far more violent and dangerous than a mere school bully who belongs in jail for assault and I agree that Ciel is not as evil as he makes himself out to be 2:47:11 Foreshadowing? Or just a reference to Season 1? 2:47:46 Dadbastian moment Such a great essay, looking forward to the Green Witch Arc
I always love seeing all your comments!! I didn't know the over the edge tactics were based on a real cricket tournament! That's actually super cool! I do agree that Tanaka may have been somewhat of a father figure for Vincent and Francis! Tanaka is just the best like that asdfasdf But there's also the thought that they may not have had a present father figure in their lives, but I think this idea is based on the fact that their mother seemed to be the Watchdog, and also the theory that Undertaker would have been their father. So there's no telling how true that idea may be!
Hi, I’m writing this comment before watching the video and before reading any other comments. I want to thank you for doing these long overview videos. I am visually impaired and cannot read the manga. I am anime only but I love this series. Watching your videos is giving me access to the rest of the story just in time for this arc to be animated and dubbed thank you!
your outfit from 2:15:50 remembered me of Night Raven College, from Twisted Wonderland! ❤ Thanks for your deep dive! they are so nice to listen and watch to!
Oh if you’re interested in boarding school manga, you should check out Heart of Thomas and Kaze to Ki no Uta! Oniisama e is also another recommendation, although it takes place in an elite all-girls’ high school.
I just binged all your videos on BB in 3 days . I love this series, and this arc is my favorite one next to the Love Live/Kpop idol arc. Its so funny but also has so much lore and hints of whats to come. I cant wait for the rest of it!
I found your channel yesterday and watched a few of your videos so far and I love them. Thank you for creating Black Butler content. Can't wait for your Emerald Witch Arc deep dive ❤
As a long time black butler fan i absolutely adore your manga recaps!! I bet alot of anime only fans were drawn to these vids because reading the manga can seem like a daunting task! I love all your little insights that help me think and understand more!!! I cannot wait to see you cover the next arcs and get deeper into story zone! I cant wait to see what else you have to say!!!
by far my favorite arc in the manga; the unseriousness of it all is so great but it kicks off the absolute chaos that’s revealed in the future…. the mystery is compelling and every story beat is satisfying and the fact that it’s all in a school setting is just so funny and a breath of fresh air for the series
it's time to sch-ch-ch-ccc-school! (this is a yugioh reference.) Anyway it's that time again and just in time for the new anime! the arc is a pretty fun one and this video has really reminded me of that. the drama, the sports anime vibes, all very funny. Soma is a treat as always and he's so happy to help out and i love that about him. and of course the overall mystery at the end of it all. honestly, i do think that maybe yana thought of the midnight tea party as an excuse to have undertaker do a mad hatter bit (not that it would be the first time). and then she kinda wove in some other alice stuff to justify it a bit. either way, it's a cool set piece. anyhow, the plot thickens and we learn the all important fact of knowing about ciel's grandmother. a fact that i am sure will pay dividends to us in the year 2030. (i know it's a monthly manga but the wait is still brutal.) UT grandpa truthers rise up. but i think the big move the story makes with this arc is that it is not only reaffirming the threat that the bizarre dolls pose, but also that UT is going to be far more long lasting than any antagonist thus far, as kuro had been mostly episodic in terms of threats with no major long term enemy until now. plus, we finally get more insight into vincent, something that is both interesting and needed as more and more the previous heads of the family become relevant. Also i think this is the real last arc before (in one way or another) we rocket into the truth about ciel and all that entails. a final sendoff to the days of old before we begin the real dive into the deep end. i can't wait till april and getting to see all this sporty fun in animation!
Yeah, I can see that! The Blue Cult/Memory/Revenge arcs feel like we're gearing up to the end of the series if it's not going to be the end, but I have been saying this for several years. The way the next few arcs really meld into one another, especially the Blue arcs, it's becoming harder to draw direct lines between events in the story because they're starting to seamlessly lead into the next thing.
2:40:29 the reason they got off easy is because they are from rich families and the families don't want the scandal to come out so they were able to pull some strings to make sure it doesn't.
My first time seeing your content and you first making an indepth dive on all the black butler manga, insane! I love it lmaao and then playing undertale music in the back 😭✨️ you immaculate taste and amazing vibe! Keep it up!! ❤
Idk if this is already a theory, but maybe the undertaker is causing all of this chaos through his experiments to see if he can figure out a way to prolong Ciel’s life after his soul is eaten by Sebastian. why else would Undertaker point out that he and Sebastian are equal’s but have opposite goals in all of this?
1:18:20 in the german version he thought "I can't surround myself with these people" and man that sounded so mean, poor little mcmillan:( the english version is better for my delulu mcmillan and ciel friendship
I’m pretty excited for 4 season for black butler western college arc and I really do hope the this arc makes fans to read the manga since the arc has mistory and murder vibe that makes it more interesting later on with undertaker being involved to make more bizarre dolls that act different then how they were on the compana arc and it is pretty funny that people do think it’s black butler having a crossover with Harry Potter and I think the dorm I would be violate wolf since I’m introverted and quiet person and I’m pretty sure yana to the whole western arc in Disney twisted wonderland game inspiration with 7 dorms and all the dorm leaders being a reference for original Disney villains and the color palette with both dorm uniform and school uniforms having ribbon arm bands with their dorm logo and ribbon having the dorm colors with black line In the middle or the ribbon wrapped in a bow 1. Heartslabyul/ queen of hearts dorm. Colors palette: red, white and black 2. Savanaclaw/ scar dorm. Color palette: black, orange and brown. 3. Octavinelle/ Ursula dorm. Color palette: purple, grey and lavender. 4. Scarabia/ jafar dorm. Color palette: gold, black and maroon. 5. Pomfiore/ evil queen dorm. Color palette: purple, red and navy purple. 6. Ignihyde/ hades dorm Color palette: blue, black and grey. 7. Diasomia/ maleficent dorm. Color palette: lime green, black and dark purple
we see plenty of highschool anime but Victorian England upper class highschool ?CANON .These places are more exclusive than a private members club ,those prefects and the house crests were quite real .i want this to be 24 episodes and i'm waiting for 11
🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑 @ 2:29:08 I was thinking that that was foreshadowing as well and I'm wondering if maybe the second season even though it's not canon maybe hinted at this as well that maybe there's someone else who wants to take Ceil away like how the other demon dude was his name Claude or whatever wanted to take Ceil and he ended up taking him from Sebastian I wonder if something like that will happen in the manga where Ceil will get taken from Sebastian and maybe we'll get something similar to the ending where in the end Sebastian doesn't get ciel soul but I don't think he'll be stuck contracted to him anymore will end up seeing Sebastian contracted to someone else maybe an stuck with them instead
It's very possible! There's a lot of weird foreshadowing for the manga in season 1 of the anime, at least to me there is. I don't know if Undertaker would be successful, but I do think that Ciel wouldn't be forever contracted to Ciel like at the end of season 2. I feel like if Undertaker was trying to save Ciel, that'd require breaking the contract.
@@PocketLeaves maybe that's why he kept his brother alive,maybe he'll switch their soul some how but Sebastian will be linked to Ceil after that maybe undertaker made a deal with Ceil grandma But he's not interested in keeping them both alive only one Or he will make it look like their both died and they will live Or maybe undertaker wants to make Ceil a new type of grim reaper that goes beyond what their ment to do
So glad I managed to watch this! Thanks for your amazing work. This was one of my fave arcs as it was the first I read after the anime adaptions of the previous arcs and I like it a lot, it was totally new for me. I already knew J. K. Rowling built up Hogwarts inspired by Eaton and other English schools, and I also think that Toboso may have got along the Harry Potter trend exploiting the dark academia genre's success, which was very popular at the time! Very interesting your take on the influence of sport anime: I liked Free! and, later, Yuri on Ice, but just because I like swimming and ice skating, the genre doesn't appeal to me and I found the cricket match too long and boring, even if I loved the arc in general. I think Ciel doesn't want to have other friends not just because he doesn't care for McMillan and the others but because he doesn't want anymore people to risk life just because they are his friends: he later says a similar thing to Soma and I think he's totally right considering what happens next. This is also very sad. I also think Sebastian generally likes to burn letter and photo and thrives when Ciel is isolated and depending on him. But I liked tutor-Sebastian because I think their dynamics in this chapter is a bit more equal and playful than usual. I also missed Lizzie in this chapter, but liked Edward and the flashbacks on Vincent a lot. I bet that Undertaker will manage to save Ciel, but definitely not his twin (we'll see). Also, your video makes me want to catch on with the manga, I think I'm 4-5 chapters behind. The only think I disagree with is the prefects being just expelled: I don't think it's fair, being 18 they should be held responsible even if the brainwash was a thing and legal age was 21 at the time. But some corrective structures such as reformatories were also a thing, so they should have stayed at least some years there or be condemned to social labours. Of course this didn't happen because they were very rich and priviledged and aristocrats got along with mostly everything at the time. Anyway they killed five comrades plus the vice-headmaster, we don't see it portrayed as self-defence as Greenhill attacks from behind and one can also argue that the teenage bullies and torturers were brainwashed, so they deserved punishment but not dying. Anyway I love your uniform and can't wait for the next arc! So much respect and esteem for your excellent work.
This is the first deep dive I've watched of yours, and as a non-Black Butler reader/watcher, I super appreciated the way you kept the mystery and suspense throughout the plot recap! I audibly GASPED when you revealed who the headmaster was. I knew of the character but I had no idea he was a villain in the series. I watched this becuase of my friend (a BB fan) who has always said this was her favorite arc and because I knew the new anime season would cover this. You did a fantastic job, and kept my attention throughout the whole video which is extra impressive considering how long it is! I am going to have to watch your deep dive of the previous arc you kept referring to. Sounds super interesting, and I thought Edward was super charming so I want to see more of him.
I'm glad you enjoyed this wild ride!! I try to make these videos where people who haven't read the manga can still go on the ride and not feel like they were just getting spoiled because I have a few friends who, like you, haven't really read much of the manga, but they like watching the deep dives to get context for what this series is.
Undertaker was in love with Claudia, but something happened (presumably her death) that led him to unalive himself. We know grim reapers are humans who have "unalived" themselves, so it's plausible that this is how he became a grim reaper. Claudia being a lover and unexpectedly dying could also be a strong motivation for the Undertaker resurrecting the dead. That's my theory at least 😉
Random but the visuals around Ciel and McMillan talking in bed look very VERY similar to the visuals in the Green Witch Arc during the Big Reveal which makes me think maybe ciel saw a brother in McMillan
1:12:57 yea, that was a strange question but I think he was just teasing Ciel and Edward to get funny reactions from them, it's normal teenager things. It felt very real to how teenagers act lol
I noticed something quite strange. When I read the chapter “The Butler, Guiding” the first page shows how Ciel was able to identify that other students that weren’t assigned an upperclassmen were doing Cole’s dirty work because his hands weren’t rusty like the other student’s hands. Ciel states later on that he had Sebastian do all his chores during fag time. So basically Ciel kinda has no right to call Cole out for that.
I'd either be in violet or green house. A lot of my personality traits fit either or, i am an emo artsy chick but i was somewhat athletic and had that autistic strong sense of justice so who knows 💜💚
what do you mean is normal to sign a contract to attend a school??????????? i didnt know any on my school's laws, like if you did something that wasn't allowed, you would be called out at first, and then you'd be given some sort of punishment if you did it again and again
The schools I went to had us sign a code of conduct thing every year in middle and high school. And we faced punishment if we didn't sign it within the first couple of weeks or so. This was public school in America.
watching this after a good portion of the arc has been animated and im glad to see that im not delusional and did in fact remember the manga way less uwu moe lets sexualize the hell out of these children. had no idea yana was influenced by classic shoujo so much im very dense so i SUPPOSE it makes some sense that theyd lean into that harder in the anime but i do mourn when the tone was dark enough to where its very obvious if something is fanservice and you can brush it off and when theres real danger that youre NOT meant to perceive that way. when they do the desaturated recap at the beginning of the episodes i get tricked into thinking im watching s1 xd. anyway i wont finish this video until i finish the anime maybe ill be back to yap who knows!
I'm going to be honest THE WRITERS HAD TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING! As a bi man i died laughing when I saw the word. Like literally F-time, ciel has to work to be the perfect F. He was gracefully ask to be the f for the p4 hes an f of an f like this shit writes its self.
Considering how Ciel is treated like a young child at the age of 13 in this series, I don't think that's an aspect of history that Yana Toboso is presenting in her story. And it doesn't really change what we know now about mental development.
@@PocketLeaves ciel was strip away of his childness and I just look it up of the age consent in the 1880s dose not mean I think this is normal but it aslo said that is change because of homosexual people I don’t know I don’t know to much on the 1800 that why the internet is here 😭 the age of being an adult for all country is 18 and not 10 and I think the 18 is much more smarter then 10 😭😭
Being super late to everything BB related again. XD Thank you for still releasing videos on BB despite everything going on in the world! I don't have much to say about this arc. I appreciate OurCiel being thrown into sircumstances where he has to act "age-appropriate" and socialize (the horror! although, if I were to be locked in a school with teenage boys, I would not be happy either. XD). Having said that, this is still my least favorite arc, and the anime did not change that. If anything, the anime auted me as a massive hater. XD I dislike the animation and character designs so much! The only good part of the anime is music, it was magical as always. Ironically, I did really like a single episode, and it was the last one. I really enjoyed listening to German present there in the English dub, although it was obvious to me that these were not German native speakers. I hope they include random German in the next arc with English subtitles, that will be fun! All in all, thank you for the video!
I am a asexual woman and I like to read bl but yea some bl fans are strange. As long as people understand it's all just fictional stories, it's fine to like gay entertainment.

I personally don't think Ciel was screaming and crying inside when he hugged Sebastian. Hugging a teacher wasn't necessary for the act. Ciel lost his parents, his brother, he is repressing his emotions a lot and I feel like deep inside he's desperate for affection. So desperate so he would even seek comfort in Sebastian sometimes. (He also hid behind Sebastian on the Campania when Viscount Druitt appeared.) P.S. I would definitely be in the violet house! 💜 Sorry for the long comment.
All good! That was mostly said as a joke, and less of an actual read of his character asdfasdfsda
@@PocketLeaves oh, ok then. Keep up the good work!
In book of circus at the end, when sebastian is holding him up like a little kid , ciel does hug his shoulders and hides his face in his neck like a scared or tired child while he orders sebastian to burn everything. So i agree with you.
The monster that Violet draws around Ciel at 1:15:57 is the Jabberwock, from Lewis Carroll’s poem, “The Jabberwocky”, which appeared in the sequel to “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, titled “Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There.”
I KNEW IT!!!!
Oh good, I was just about to type that because I paused like "Wait a second-" XDD
1:59:44 this is why I love black butler and how bat shit insane the plot goes for every arc, because no sane person would think of this except for Yana Toboso herself
1:47:18 honestly it makes me happy to see the servants because that mean that Ciel invited them to see him playing 🥺😭
i think that “P4” is in reference to the “F4” which is the group of boys from Boys Over Flowers! It had a wildly popular kdrama adaptation in 2009
Ooh that's so cool!!
I love that show lol
1:16:04
That looks like the jabberwocky from "Alice in Wonderland" grabbing Ciel
Bro I have the busiest life rn with every day coming home at 9PM from musical theater rehearsals at school. I have NO time yet watching your videos never feels like a waste. Just enjoyable
The part where Ciel confronts Maurice brings me back to when my mom confronted my bully in fourth grade and asked him why he was picking on me I was very sick kid in and out of hospital for most of my life and she said to him in front of the whole 4 year group and she said I know that he had a crush on me and his face went red and everyone was laughing at him I didn’t see him after grade 4 until grade seven even to this day I will never get a answer to it even as a 22 year old adult I still have medical issues I to deal with and yet I am still here I wasn’t even meant to survive birth but here I am still here at the age of 22 your sense of humour really sometimes helps me when I am not having a good day

@@Claudia_Crimson_585 she died form bleeding on the brain after a fall and blacked out before she hit the ground and she was already almost dead when she got to hospital they put her on a ventilator but the damage had already been done and she passed away in her sleep at the hospital she was only 53 when she died
This is my favorite arc of black butler. It's nice seeing Ciel in an environment such as school. The danger might not be the same as he is used to, but the social danger is very real. Honestly I like how we are able to see Ciel showcase his brilliance as a strategist and a leader to his house during the game. It was so cool seeing that play out and It was really goofy the way Yana added so many elements of comedy to it. This is also really random but I feel like I saw somewhere in BB that The undertaker was at least 500 years old ? If I'm wrong please correct me but I believe it was during the green witch arc where Othello was talking about their time with undertaker ? This is very vague in my memory so I might just be making stuff up but that just made me think of the possibility that the undertaker might be related to the Phantomhives but way down the lineage rather than his grandparents (maybe???) idk, haha. Either way, I also think that the undertaker is trying to save ciel from his cruel fate and essentially, stopping the Phantomhive 'curse', that has ruined the family for generations now, this including his own family when he was alive.
P.S: Thank you for making this video! Can't wait for the next !
I don't remember if we get an actual estimate of Undertaker's age, but he's always felt very ancient to me. Like significantly older than all the other reapers, or having been a reaper the longest. But one point of interest in the grandpa Undertaker theory is when seeing his family tree in the green witch arc, the dates for Ciel's grandparents are obscured, and people have taken that as a hint that his grandfather's dates may be off. I think most people believing that Undertaker is his grandfather do so with assumption that Undertaker was already a reaper when getting involved with the Phantomhive family. But it could be an interesting twist that he's related farther down the line, when he was human.
I can't wait to see this animated 😂❤🎉
Because this is not one of my most favourite arcs I dont read it often. This video was a wonderful refresher especially with S4 coming out soon.
SO, im OBSESSED with Sebastian and his characterisation both human-like and demon-like. I thought that last chapter of the arc, when he told Undertaker 'you underestimate me' that what he was seeing was basically a weird vision/trauma. Something ridden with anxiety where Undertaker would grab Ciel much like he did in BoA. And what was playing out was that vision as the tea cup fell so Sebastian dropped the order and went to Ciel's side.
And in relation to that when he turns and tells Ciel that he wont be robbed of his soul (AAAAAAHHHH ITS SO CHILLING IN A GOOD WAY) Ciel looks up at him with an expression I can only read as 'oh shit, ive got this demon on a spider's thread of a leash'. He recognised he has no real control or authority over Sebastian.
Anywho the Green Witch Arc is my FAVOURITE! Im over here shaking with excitement cause we get to see a) one of the scariest (and best) full-page panel of Sebastian being unsettling and b) him just being a boss and inhaling lethal gases. Thank you for this!
I'm very excited to reread the Green Witch arc! That's the arc that was publishing when I got caught up on the manga, and I haven't reread it at all, so I'm very hype to experience again all together!
I can tell that people are going to get confused about the 'public school' business so I'll explain it to the best of my abilities!
In the UK, until very recently (likely through people consuming more American content), schools were commonly denoted as 'public' or 'state'.
They were given this name based on who was paying for the tuitions of the attending children.
'Public' school's tuitions were payed for by members of the public (usually a family member) and are closest to the American private school. They are not actually really available to the public, you have to be pretty wealthy or some sort of child prodigy to go to these places.
'State' schools, on the other hand, are institutions where the child's tuition is payed for by the State (Government) and are much more similar to the American public school system. A subsector of the 'State' school is the 'Grammar' school, these are schools that are more similar to private schools in looks, traditions and education but are accessible to the public as long as the child passes the academic tests and requirements that the school enforces.
TL;DR, The 'Public School Arc' doesn't follow a public school as Americans know it but rather a wealthy private school that is called a public school as the State doesn’t fund the tuitions of the pupils, but rather members of the (elite) public.
Aaaand finally finished the video XD and yet I'm *still* working on my digital artwork
I honestly just wanted to have a better understanding of the arcs I haven't gotten to see yet- and while I am making an effort to read through the manga, I have a short attention span so it's little by little- and yet at the same time I want to information right then and there- but then reading through the wiki is again- tedious. I'm so glad you're putting in so much effort to sum up the arcs in such detail 😊 After getting back into my Black Butler obsession, this really helps with my character creations and expanding the universe as a whole. You're really the hero we want, need, and deserve 🙏
Very glad they changed the term to “drudge” for the anime, didnt know what the manga term was until now, kinda hilarious
I would just to point out that most private schools to this day have "prefects" I go to a private school (so a school that charges tuition) and Prefects are actually selected from the 12th graders, or the seniors or the school, its usually 4 from different "houses" or "islands" which are set as pretty much the most infulential 4 students, so the student body is under them, the student council and even exchange students. And yes we do have houses, and i'm actually in the red team for my school. They also get special ties or certain additions to their uniform which signifies their status as a prefect.
Fantastic video--this was so much fun! 💕 I think I would be in Violet Wolf house as I spend a lot of time painting, drawing, dancing, reading and writing. 🌿💜 The Public School Arc was so enjoyable to read!! There was a ton of character development, sprinkled in comedy, and I greatly appreciated having fun moments with every character. I kept having to put the manga down due to laughing so much through reading these chapters!! Lau showing up with a bunch of beautiful women was hilarious, and 100% on-brand for him. Also, the grandpa Undertaker theory is one of my favorite ones! I like to think he's Ciel's great great great grandfather or something like that, and the Phantomhive's are all his descendants. It would be interesting if Claudia was his great great granddaughter from when he was alive, or something similar. Even if it's not true, I can't wait to see Undertaker's backstory revealed!
OMG I just take my time finishing the campania arc video a few hours ago, and now this dropped.... what a fun surprise!
I think I also would be either in Blue or Violet House
I had a history of attending drama club as a child and was good at drawing, but I am also dis well academically... so otd probably depend (personally I wouldnt mind being one of art kids just because Violet is my favourite among P4s). I can't wait for anime and how they handle animation there are so many scenes I am looking forward to
These videos are perfect for watching while studying analytical chemistry
What I loved the most about the video was your sapphire owl suit, where did you get it? I loved it so much❤❤❤
It's an old cosplay I got several years ago. It was one of those mass produced cosplay sites, but it's been so long I don't have the link anymore.
Rewatching your video with a new comment
5:58 Those nicknames you gave them XD
8:00 Hey! ... Yeah your right
13:09 He thought people would recognize him in 'Red Butler' too, but we see that even Alister never recognizes him
14:51 Ciel does seem to have gotten better at dressing and cleaning himself, I head-canon it as Ciel learning this stuff because Doll made fun of him
17:15 Preist/Teacher fetish is weirdly common
20:44 Johann is an underrated villain, he was funny
22:09 Creepy cult vibes aside, this school does sound awesome
23:09 That's fair, I think it translates to 'acting servant'
27:24 I think that's just an edgy face tattoo/make-up, we've seen Yana draw other characters with face scars and usually draws them gross looking
28:47 He is mimicking what N. McMillian did
32:35 Sebastian would be harsher when grading Ciel
33:51 In Yana's doodles she has an image of Bluer and Redmond as kids and in the text she says that they are childhood friends
36:24 I know I already made this joke, but; Ciel 'traps are gay', N. McMillian 'traps are NOT gay', Maurice 'touching girls is gay'
36:44 I figured it was him noticing that Ciel was good looking and well dressed and therefore a threat to his position
37:52 Ciel is jealous that his 'Not-father' is better with the other kids
45:18 N. McMillian is the unsung hero of this arc
57:19 I think they were just going to strip him and take photos, nothing more
1:03:32 Ciel's classmates are adorable
1:03:59 Big brother Soma embarrasses little brother Ciel
1:11:57 I too thought he was gay
1:13:04 I think he was just teasing Ciel, Cheslock too
1:17:25 N. McMillian would be a skilled investigator, if he wasn't so submissive to every authority figure
1:34:00 Bluer's family didn't appear much, but they made what little time they did have count
1:34:11 Oh they heard alright, Lizzy was defending what's hers
1:35:59 He is also a Marquess it was a Marquess' job to defend Britian from foreign criminals, like how it is was an Earl's job to defend Britian from organize crime... A Viscount's job is to collect taxes
1:44:04 Funniest out of context image of Lizzy
1:47:21 I like the part where Mey-Rin calls children 'a bunch of sissies' for being bad at sports, maybe Mey-Rin deserves to be single
1:51:50 Tanaka is a gem
1:59:21 Fun fact the 'over-the-edge-tactics' Blue Team uses against Green Team are based on how England beat Australia during the 1889 cricket tournament
2:05:41 I like how Bardroy still remains loyal to Ciel
2:06:13 Greenhill is chad, its a shame he turned out to be murderer
2:12:20 Ball tampering is indeed illegal in cricket
2:15:29 I like that Soma and N. McMillian push Ciel towards Lizzy, I like that Phipps has a chicken on his head, I like that Francis chooses to dance with Tanaka instead of Alexis (her and Vincent must see him as a father), I like that Redmond dances with the girl he made fun of earlier, I like that Harcourt got himself one of Bluer's older sisters (the boy has rizz) and I like that Edward dances with Paula, its just such a fun scene
2:28:47 Interpreted this scene as UT and Sebastian laughing at the P4's being duped into falling into a cult-like mentality, I don't think Ciel was being hypocritical, killing someone for disagreeing with your way of doing things (even if that person is vile) is not the same as killing someone who transgresses upon the innocent in a more permanent manner
2:31:56 Why Mel, you're ruining your hardened criminal image
2:39:08 It also feels like a Black Butler 2 reference
2:39:42 This image is why I don't think Ciel was being hypocritical, the people Ciel kills are far more violent and dangerous than a mere school bully who belongs in jail for assault and I agree that Ciel is not as evil as he makes himself out to be
2:47:11 Foreshadowing? Or just a reference to Season 1?
2:47:46 Dadbastian moment
Such a great essay, looking forward to the Green Witch Arc
I always love seeing all your comments!! I didn't know the over the edge tactics were based on a real cricket tournament! That's actually super cool! I do agree that Tanaka may have been somewhat of a father figure for Vincent and Francis! Tanaka is just the best like that asdfasdf But there's also the thought that they may not have had a present father figure in their lives, but I think this idea is based on the fact that their mother seemed to be the Watchdog, and also the theory that Undertaker would have been their father. So there's no telling how true that idea may be!
@@PocketLeaves Thank you.
The public school ark!!! YAY!!! One of my favorites, I'm so happy you made a deep dive about it! Can't wait to watch this!!!😊
love love love this arc !! thank you for all these recaps 🥰
Hi, I’m writing this comment before watching the video and before reading any other comments. I want to thank you for doing these long overview videos. I am visually impaired and cannot read the manga. I am anime only but I love this series. Watching your videos is giving me access to the rest of the story just in time for this arc to be animated and dubbed thank you!
your outfit from 2:15:50 remembered me of Night Raven College, from Twisted Wonderland! ❤
Thanks for your deep dive! they are so nice to listen and watch to!
This video rocks!!! Love listening to this while I work because I have no time to read the manga!!! Can't wait for the next one!
Oh, I am so ready for this 3 hour long video
Oh if you’re interested in boarding school manga, you should check out Heart of Thomas and Kaze to Ki no Uta! Oniisama e is also another recommendation, although it takes place in an elite all-girls’ high school.
I've read both of those already, they're amongst my favorites!!! Oniisama E is something I'm really interested in watching too!! It looks very good!
Thanks for this video! I love this arc and can't wait for the next one 💜
I just binged all your videos on BB in 3 days . I love this series, and this arc is my favorite one next to the Love Live/Kpop idol arc. Its so funny but also has so much lore and hints of whats to come. I cant wait for the rest of it!
I found your channel yesterday and watched a few of your videos so far and I love them. Thank you for creating Black Butler content. Can't wait for your Emerald Witch Arc deep dive ❤
As a long time black butler fan i absolutely adore your manga recaps!! I bet alot of anime only fans were drawn to these vids because reading the manga can seem like a daunting task! I love all your little insights that help me think and understand more!!!
I cannot wait to see you cover the next arcs and get deeper into story zone! I cant wait to see what else you have to say!!!
by far my favorite arc in the manga; the unseriousness of it all is so great but it kicks off the absolute chaos that’s revealed in the future…. the mystery is compelling and every story beat is satisfying and the fact that it’s all in a school setting is just so funny and a breath of fresh air for the series
PLEASE DO A VIDEO ABOUT GRANPA UNDERTAKER I NEED TO SEE IT
it's time to sch-ch-ch-ccc-school! (this is a yugioh reference.)
Anyway it's that time again and just in time for the new anime! the arc is a pretty fun one and this video has really reminded me of that. the drama, the sports anime vibes, all very funny. Soma is a treat as always and he's so happy to help out and i love that about him. and of course the overall mystery at the end of it all. honestly, i do think that maybe yana thought of the midnight tea party as an excuse to have undertaker do a mad hatter bit (not that it would be the first time). and then she kinda wove in some other alice stuff to justify it a bit. either way, it's a cool set piece. anyhow, the plot thickens and we learn the all important fact of knowing about ciel's grandmother. a fact that i am sure will pay dividends to us in the year 2030. (i know it's a monthly manga but the wait is still brutal.) UT grandpa truthers rise up.
but i think the big move the story makes with this arc is that it is not only reaffirming the threat that the bizarre dolls pose, but also that UT is going to be far more long lasting than any antagonist thus far, as kuro had been mostly episodic in terms of threats with no major long term enemy until now. plus, we finally get more insight into vincent, something that is both interesting and needed as more and more the previous heads of the family become relevant.
Also i think this is the real last arc before (in one way or another) we rocket into the truth about ciel and all that entails. a final sendoff to the days of old before we begin the real dive into the deep end.
i can't wait till april and getting to see all this sporty fun in animation!
Yeah, I can see that! The Blue Cult/Memory/Revenge arcs feel like we're gearing up to the end of the series if it's not going to be the end, but I have been saying this for several years. The way the next few arcs really meld into one another, especially the Blue arcs, it's becoming harder to draw direct lines between events in the story because they're starting to seamlessly lead into the next thing.
2:40:29 the reason they got off easy is because they are from rich families and the families don't want the scandal to come out so they were able to pull some strings to make sure it doesn't.
Carrying my hyper fixation on your back. Ugh, I wish people cared as much as we do. 😔
in love with your bb content, thank you so much for this deep dive
LETS GOOOOO i love these videos
My first time seeing your content and you first making an indepth dive on all the black butler manga, insane! I love it lmaao and then playing undertale music in the back 😭✨️ you immaculate taste and amazing vibe! Keep it up!! ❤
Idk if this is already a theory, but maybe the undertaker is causing all of this chaos through his experiments to see if he can figure out a way to prolong Ciel’s life after his soul is eaten by Sebastian. why else would Undertaker point out that he and Sebastian are equal’s but have opposite goals in all of this?
I can see that! Undertaker is invested in doing SOMETHING with Ciel and I'm inclined to believe he has no ill will towards him.
Thank you so much for making this video! I am always looking for black butler manga content.
1:18:20 in the german version he thought "I can't surround myself with these people" and man that sounded so mean, poor little mcmillan:(
the english version is better for my delulu mcmillan and ciel friendship
I’m pretty excited for 4 season for black butler western college arc and I really do hope the this arc makes fans to read the manga since the arc has mistory and murder vibe that makes it more interesting later on with undertaker being involved to make more bizarre dolls that act different then how they were on the compana arc and it is pretty funny that people do think it’s black butler having a crossover with Harry Potter and I think the dorm I would be violate wolf since I’m introverted and quiet person and I’m pretty sure yana to the whole western arc in Disney twisted wonderland game inspiration with 7 dorms and all the dorm leaders being a reference for original Disney villains and the color palette with both dorm uniform and school uniforms having ribbon arm bands with their dorm logo and ribbon having the dorm colors with black line In the middle or the ribbon wrapped in a bow 1. Heartslabyul/ queen of hearts dorm. Colors palette: red, white and black 2. Savanaclaw/ scar dorm. Color palette: black, orange and brown. 3. Octavinelle/ Ursula dorm. Color palette: purple, grey and lavender. 4. Scarabia/ jafar dorm. Color palette: gold, black and maroon. 5. Pomfiore/ evil queen dorm. Color palette: purple, red and navy purple. 6. Ignihyde/ hades dorm Color palette: blue, black and grey. 7. Diasomia/ maleficent dorm. Color palette: lime green, black and dark purple
we see plenty of highschool anime but Victorian England upper class highschool ?CANON .These places are more exclusive than a private members club ,those prefects and the house crests were quite real .i want this to be 24 episodes and i'm waiting for 11
Not to be weird but I swear I remember you in the Black Butler rp tumblr commmunity! I was SO ACTIVE around the 2013-2017 period
HUH? That's so wild! I wasn't super active on my actual role play blogs, but it would have been during the time you were active!

@ 2:29:08
I was thinking that that was foreshadowing as well and I'm wondering if maybe the second season even though it's not canon maybe hinted at this as well that maybe there's someone else who wants to take Ceil away like how the other
demon dude was his name Claude or whatever wanted to take Ceil and he ended up taking him from Sebastian I wonder if something like that will happen in the manga where Ceil will get taken from Sebastian and maybe we'll get
something similar to the ending where in the end Sebastian doesn't get ciel soul but I don't think he'll be stuck contracted to him anymore will end up seeing Sebastian contracted to someone else maybe an stuck with them instead
It's very possible! There's a lot of weird foreshadowing for the manga in season 1 of the anime, at least to me there is. I don't know if Undertaker would be successful, but I do think that Ciel wouldn't be forever contracted to Ciel like at the end of season 2. I feel like if Undertaker was trying to save Ciel, that'd require breaking the contract.
@@PocketLeaves maybe that's why he kept his brother alive,maybe he'll switch their soul some how but Sebastian will be linked to Ceil after that maybe undertaker made a deal with Ceil grandma
But he's not interested in keeping them both alive only one
Or he will make it look like their both died and they will live
Or maybe undertaker wants to make Ceil a new type of grim reaper that goes beyond what their ment to do
So glad I managed to watch this! Thanks for your amazing work.
This was one of my fave arcs as it was the first I read after the anime adaptions of the previous arcs and I like it a lot, it was totally new for me.
I already knew J. K. Rowling built up Hogwarts inspired by Eaton and other English schools, and I also think that Toboso may have got along the Harry Potter trend exploiting the dark academia genre's success, which was very popular at the time!
Very interesting your take on the influence of sport anime: I liked Free! and, later, Yuri on Ice, but just because I like swimming and ice skating, the genre doesn't appeal to me and I found the cricket match too long and boring, even if I loved the arc in general.
I think Ciel doesn't want to have other friends not just because he doesn't care for McMillan and the others but because he doesn't want anymore people to risk life just because they are his friends: he later says a similar thing to Soma and I think he's totally right considering what happens next. This is also very sad.
I also think Sebastian generally likes to burn letter and photo and thrives when Ciel is isolated and depending on him. But I liked tutor-Sebastian because I think their dynamics in this chapter is a bit more equal and playful than usual.
I also missed Lizzie in this chapter, but liked Edward and the flashbacks on Vincent a lot. I bet that Undertaker will manage to save Ciel, but definitely not his twin (we'll see).
Also, your video makes me want to catch on with the manga, I think I'm 4-5 chapters behind.
The only think I disagree with is the prefects being just expelled: I don't think it's fair, being 18 they should be held responsible even if the brainwash was a thing and legal age was 21 at the time. But some corrective structures such as reformatories were also a thing, so they should have stayed at least some years there or be condemned to social labours.
Of course this didn't happen because they were very rich and priviledged and aristocrats got along with mostly everything at the time.
Anyway they killed five comrades plus the vice-headmaster, we don't see it portrayed as self-defence as Greenhill attacks from behind and one can also argue that the teenage bullies and torturers were brainwashed, so they deserved punishment but not dying.
Anyway I love your uniform and can't wait for the next arc! So much respect and esteem for your excellent work.
I found your video and i really enjoyed it
id def be purple house being a goth
Same
This is the first deep dive I've watched of yours, and as a non-Black Butler reader/watcher, I super appreciated the way you kept the mystery and suspense throughout the plot recap! I audibly GASPED when you revealed who the headmaster was. I knew of the character but I had no idea he was a villain in the series.
I watched this becuase of my friend (a BB fan) who has always said this was her favorite arc and because I knew the new anime season would cover this. You did a fantastic job, and kept my attention throughout the whole video which is extra impressive considering how long it is! I am going to have to watch your deep dive of the previous arc you kept referring to. Sounds super interesting, and I thought Edward was super charming so I want to see more of him.
I'm glad you enjoyed this wild ride!! I try to make these videos where people who haven't read the manga can still go on the ride and not feel like they were just getting spoiled because I have a few friends who, like you, haven't really read much of the manga, but they like watching the deep dives to get context for what this series is.
Undertaker was in love with Claudia, but something happened (presumably her death) that led him to unalive himself. We know grim reapers are humans who have "unalived" themselves, so it's plausible that this is how he became a grim reaper. Claudia being a lover and unexpectedly dying could also be a strong motivation for the Undertaker resurrecting the dead. That's my theory at least 😉
Random but the visuals around Ciel and McMillan talking in bed look very VERY similar to the visuals in the Green Witch Arc during the Big Reveal which makes me think maybe ciel saw a brother in McMillan
Loved the brief friendship they shared. Goodness knows Ciel *needs* to interact with other kids his age especially a cinnamon roll like McMillan.
Gothic mean girls be like
1:12:57 yea, that was a strange question but I think he was just teasing Ciel and Edward to get funny reactions from them, it's normal teenager things. It felt very real to how teenagers act lol
I love watching you yap I heart your content 💕💕💕
I noticed something quite strange. When I read the chapter “The Butler, Guiding” the first page shows how Ciel was able to identify that other students that weren’t assigned an upperclassmen were doing Cole’s dirty work because his hands weren’t rusty like the other student’s hands. Ciel states later on that he had Sebastian do all his chores during fag time. So basically Ciel kinda has no right to call Cole out for that.
I'd either be in violet or green house. A lot of my personality traits fit either or, i am an emo artsy chick but i was somewhat athletic and had that autistic strong sense of justice so who knows 💜💚
Oh, if I was male, or if Weston was co-ed, I'd be in Violet Wolf.
what do you mean is normal to sign a contract to attend a school??????????? i didnt know any on my school's laws, like if you did something that wasn't allowed, you would be called out at first, and then you'd be given some sort of punishment if you did it again and again
The schools I went to had us sign a code of conduct thing every year in middle and high school. And we faced punishment if we didn't sign it within the first couple of weeks or so. This was public school in America.
@@PocketLeaves that sounds so WILD to me wow here in spain things are so much different
watching this after a good portion of the arc has been animated and im glad to see that im not delusional and did in fact remember the manga way less uwu moe lets sexualize the hell out of these children. had no idea yana was influenced by classic shoujo so much im very dense so i SUPPOSE it makes some sense that theyd lean into that harder in the anime but i do mourn when the tone was dark enough to where its very obvious if something is fanservice and you can brush it off and when theres real danger that youre NOT meant to perceive that way. when they do the desaturated recap at the beginning of the episodes i get tricked into thinking im watching s1 xd. anyway i wont finish this video until i finish the anime maybe ill be back to yap who knows!
2:46 Ciel has become a schoolgirl
4:12 Ha ha ha!
assumptions
I think the vast majority of comment just got deleted. That sucks
Oh that sucks!
Harcourt pissed and shat himself on screen lol why does Yana like bullying him?
I'm going to be honest THE WRITERS HAD TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING! As a bi man i died laughing when I saw the word. Like literally F-time, ciel has to work to be the perfect F. He was gracefully ask to be the f for the p4 hes an f of an f like this shit writes its self.
boyfail wet cat soggy paperbag Gregory Violet is my favorite thing ever .. he is very important to me
Where do yall read the manga im looking for this arc online but cant find any websites they all stop in before the public school arc?
I’m pretty sure ,the age of adultness in the 1800 century was 10 and over .
Considering how Ciel is treated like a young child at the age of 13 in this series, I don't think that's an aspect of history that Yana Toboso is presenting in her story. And it doesn't really change what we know now about mental development.
@@PocketLeaves ciel was strip away of his childness and I just look it up of the age consent in the 1880s dose not mean I think this is normal but it aslo said that is change because of homosexual people I don’t know I don’t know to much on the 1800 that why the internet is here 😭 the age of being an adult for all country is 18 and not 10 and I think the 18 is much more smarter then 10 😭😭
Being super late to everything BB related again. XD
Thank you for still releasing videos on BB despite everything going on in the world!
I don't have much to say about this arc. I appreciate OurCiel being thrown into sircumstances where he has to act "age-appropriate" and socialize (the horror! although, if I were to be locked in a school with teenage boys, I would not be happy either. XD). Having said that, this is still my least favorite arc, and the anime did not change that.
If anything, the anime auted me as a massive hater. XD I dislike the animation and character designs so much! The only good part of the anime is music, it was magical as always. Ironically, I did really like a single episode, and it was the last one. I really enjoyed listening to German present there in the English dub, although it was obvious to me that these were not German native speakers. I hope they include random German in the next arc with English subtitles, that will be fun!
All in all, thank you for the video!
I cannot not look at this arc without thinking about twisted wonderland

First to the video
17:14
"a lot of people thought Sebastian looked very hot in here... not me though"
yeah yeah you're so unique, we all know
You do realize that was said as a joke???? One of the biggest jokes I have with my friends in the fandom is hating Sebastian? It's a bit?
Sup
This is my least favorite story arc but I like how Prince Soma appears a lot more than usual in this arc.
I am a asexual woman and I like to read bl but yea some bl fans are strange. As long as people understand it's all just fictional stories, it's fine to like gay entertainment.
I love this video but i HAVE TO CORRECT YOU I'M SO SORRY
the "ect" in prefect is pronounced like the "ect" is delECTtable
Wait wait wait is alois Canon or not someone tell me is my fav real please tell me he's real
He is an original character from season 2. He has never showed up in the manga.
@PocketLeaves so not Canon dang it and season 2 isn't Canon either why
