10:22 I agree. Sebastian is clearly looking for human validation and feels awful when he doesn't receive it. It would be the human equivalent of comparing yourself with a bug and then feel better because you can do things the bug can't. (As he sees humans as bugs.) Honestly, I feel bad for Sebastian sometimes.
4:26 Well we know he can't raise the dead 5:59 In Australia, we don't celebrate Halloween, we do however eat some Halloween themed candy that the Americans send us. 8:30 Mr Kemble is probably Welsh so any Wales Harvest Festivals he attended probably just involved getting drunk and playing random sports like 'cockfighting', 'blind wheelbarrow races' and 'woman's grinning' (I have no idea what that last one is) 10:24 In Yana's old blog she said Sebastain is viewed as a 'pervert gourmet' by other demons that is to say he is the only demon that goes to the lengths to flavor and refine the taste of the souls he eats. Claude likes to spice his food but is overall considered a proper demon (Yana doesn't seemed to fussed that Alois and Claude aren't canon, she loves the two too much for that). I just think he is an attention whore 16:25 I always saw this scene as Ciel threatening Sebastian, Ciel clearly has more to live for than when he first made the contract and this version probably would get out of the contract if could find a way too 19:40 In one of her interviews Yana said that the comic will have a 'grey middle ground' ending, not a 'black ending' I can send you a link if you want
Ooh, I didn't know Halloween wasn't a big deal in Australia! I do know it hits y'all in the spring instead of fall, so I can imagine that'd change a lot of things for people who do want to celebrate still. I love that Yana has said Sebastian is just a weirdo to other demons. I also love that she loves Claude and Alois. iirc, she did create their designs! So they're still her OCs! Ooooh, I do like this read on Ciel and Sebastian. He does have a lot to live for, and plenty of people who love him. I know if he wanted to get out of the contract, he'd have people who had his back. Even though they're just human. A GREY MIDDLE GROUND ENDING??? I'd love a link! What does she mean by that??? adsfasdf I'm really excited to see how she wraps up this story. I still think a grey middle ground will still be tragic, and really sad (and I'm ready for it)
I made a connection with the Polaris character after watching your last video and re reading some panels. People reading this look over agni's condition when he passes. And then go to chapter 169 and look at Polaris crying to other ciel saying even in death. He's a butler. My mind is like racing
Happy Halloween! My favourite season :D I love dressing up and having small parties with my friends and eating Halloween themed foods. It’s so nice Ciel treating the people to great Halloween experience
I think Ciel handles his trauma and grief pretty well because he ignores it until he can't anymore. At this moment he is grieving for his family and his childhood, he daydreamed about something that happened at this same festival with his family in the past. Maybe that's the reason why Ciel didn't want to participate in the festival, it just brings up bittersweet memories for him.
Thank you for the Halloween video! I have recently finished the previous one, and this one popped up just a couple of hours after! Best timing ever! I hope that Black Butler ends with a bang that will take away a lot of the beloved characters in the most tearjerking way possible, just like Pandora Hearts did, where the fans still can't get over it. Or in a really creepy way, like it may or may not have been foreshadowed in the upcoming chapters. I know that no matter how the manga ends, I will miss it like a dear friend. Regarding your question, the nearest approximation to Halloween in Slavic countries, such as Ukraine, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, and Belarus would be Ivana Kupala night, a midsummer celebration taking place either in June or July depending on the country. "Kupala" is derived from "to bathe" and roughly translates to "that of bathing," as the initial festivities take place near water, preferably a river. There, people would light big bonfires in the evening, dance around them, sing ritual songs, and jump over the fire to cleanse themselves of evil. Devinations would be performed, women would weave flowercrowns and let them float down the river, that is supposed to predict your future husband. People would eat and drink, and generally have a good time. In the night, people would continue celebrating till the early morning. This is when the similarity with Halloween arises as the veil between the human world and the other world is supposed to be thin then, and it is accepted that ghosts and spirits roam the fields and forests on that night. One halloweeny thing that people could do would be to go into the dark forest and search for a supposedly magic flower or herb and to get out of the forest the next morning without getting lost or getting out too soon. A lot of young people would use this opportunity to get busy. XD I am sad that I have never experienced the celebration myself, but I hope to participate in it at least once in the future!
I'm glad that you mentioned that kind of celebration! I'm from Slovakia. Even though we are not celebrating precisely Ivana Kupala night, we do Midsummer nights around that time, and practising same kind of traditions during that!
i feel it's possible o!ciel may live, like, bcz what happens to the contract if sebastian dies? i assume it'd be erased right? the Undertaker seems to not want ciel to die as he seems to feel affection or attachment to all the phantomhives, and i feel like r!ciel feels affection for his brother and wants to be united with him, just.. in a sort of twisted way. I think the Undertaker is easily powerful enough to kill sebastian, as we see in the campania arc, sebastian, even with the help of two other shinigami, was no match for him. i really wonder what undertaker is planning with this wild goose chase, like, clearly he's setting something up with r!ciel, o!ciel, and sebastian. we dont know what the hotel revealed in the latest chapter is yet, but i think it's clear that the undertaker is related to it. is this his way of trapping/killing sebastian and "saving" o!ciel? who knows, just some silly incoherent thoughts of mine, we'll see how it really pans out soon enough lel x3
I think it could be possible, I just don't know if Yana Toboso will do that to Sebastian? But Sebastian also doesn't really get a chance to get stronger? So if he has to fight Undertaker again, one on one, it'd not go well for him. I'm really excited to see where all this goes. There's also the idea that reapers can decide a person should keep living instead of reaping their souls. This has been brought up, but we've yet to see it happen.
also, fans here what do we think will happen when we get the twin in the show? he'll have the same voice acting going on as our ciel? or they'll change it slightly to feel like a creepier version of ciel? I wanna know what people here think about that
A lot of people are assuming that the twins will have the same VA, especially since the twin has technically been animated and voiced before. I think it would be cool to have a different VA, so that it's a bit easier for audiences to tell them apart.
@@PocketLeavesI think a new voice would be way creepier and better to. But it would make lizzy even more silly somehow getting her cousins voices mixed up
@@PocketLeaves so after watching book of Atlantic again, the flashbacks with lizzy do imply they have the same voice. i think that will be the direction they go with. i just want him to sound creepy and off
@@PocketLeaves the manga follows the story and of each dorm you could start if you want. It's very similar to the Public School Arc just featuring Disney Villains I guess. Each house has a separate story line

Would you ever do deep dives of the Twisted Wonderland manga?
Probably not? I've never read it, nor have I played the game

Happy Halloween also was not a fan of the previously arc...I'm hemophobic
