[@anvitamohan7939]

Oh Danny, you'd be really glad if you like the real "Sebastian " so much. The manga makes it clearer but Sebastian doesn't see any of the humans he is around as "people ". The author of Black Butler calls Sebastian a complete self-centered narcissist who thinks of everyone else as grasshoppers. This whole " Butler" thing and him improving his acting skills. Sebastian is not one hell of a butler , he is one hell of an actor. He is so bad at cooking early on because he can't even taste human food. The only thing he can taste is a soul. He doesn't understand empathy, he is merely using his experience with humans in understanding their reaction patterns. He doesn't feel human emotions, he imitates them. The anime kinda messed it up early on but he even enjoys when Ciel suffers, he even enjoys when Ciel makes others suffer. He is a hungry demon who is passing time playing and tormenting his pet lamb while fattening him up for dinner

[@titanraven]

Yesss That's really why we love him Danny needs to see this

[@justauser6078]

I'm still very amused by people who truly believe that Sebastian truly cares about Ciel and they have a sort of "father-son" dynamic. Maybe it could look like this, and Ciel could unknowingly see Sebastian as a father figure (but still understand that he is a demon who cannot be completely trusted - and even Sebastian's words that he never lies are due to the contract situation of "never lying" to Ciel ) because Sebastian is the only adult "man" who is constantly by his side and constantly protects him. But Sebastian definitely does not see Ciel as his son.

Ciel is shown a couple times in the anime and regularly in manga to be fearful of Sebastian due to the nature of their contract. In this movie Ciel is genuinely dissociating when Sebastian is killing all the zombie in the cargo hold because it reminds him too much of their initial meeting and first order. It is still left up to interpretation how much Sebastian actually cares about Ciel besides him being his eventual meal. In book of circus we saw him abusing Ciel's order by freeing the snakes early even though he knew Ciel was there. I love how complicated their relationship is!

[@maelliack8346]

I think there even more to it. He saw himself go through it and probably thought "Wow, that f*cked me up forever, better not let that happen again". Which means if he had survived without Sebastian and their pact, he probably would've rather die than trying to live with this.

[@soupgoescronch]

"did i tor- LEGALLY PURCHASE"

[@kathrinlindern2697]

I think the problem that Ciel has with Lizzy is that Ciel knows full well that he will never marry her. He has sold his soul to the devil, he will die as soon as his contract is completed. And every moment he is nice to Elizabeth will make that hurt more for her. She also probably reminds him terribly of the way things were before all that awful stuff happened to him, and being kind to her must feel incredibly uncomfortable - because he can't be that boy. That boy died the moment he summoned Sebastian. So he can only protect her as best as he is able to - like with holding off the dolls at the very end. Ciel is sometimes actually cruel, but a lot of the cruel things he says are at least partly an act because he decided that day that he would avenge his family and the boy capable of doing that can't really have actual friends and can't afford to believe in the good in people either. So in that way, Ciel is a foil to Sebastian - mean and unkind because he can't afford the pretense of being otherwise. Because for him, the act would become far too real far too soon. And that would cost him everything.

[@Cat-dq1zp]

He also feels like an imposter

[@gabriellesparro3256]

Danny having such a dislike for Ciel really shows the tragedy of the in-between chapters of the different arcs not being animated These chapters do so much character work overall but it does wonders for Ciel especially Showing how fond he is of Lizzie, his interactions with Francis (Lizzie's mom), Soma and Agni being around him seemingly all the time in the manga He just comes off as really rough and bratty on missions bc he's genuinely having a horrible time in almost every arc He also keeps people at arms length because a. people tend to get brutally murdered if they stay too close to him and b. he probably won't even live to see his fifteenth birthday by the pace he's trying to get his revenge, so the less people care about him the less they'll have to grieve him once he's dead Anyways I've been checking almost weekly if you finally reacted to this movie so I'm really happy to see it finally here, I was sure you'd enjoy it Hopefully you'll watch season 4 next 🫶

This is one of my favourite Kuro arcs, and _believe_ me, starting from this one it's ridiculously hard to choose!

Since they're keeping the public school arc quite short apparently, hopefully they will do Green Witch arc and perhaps even the two arcs after all though they'll then have to pull back for a bit after because the latest arc is still on going.

I want him to react to the public school arc too 😂😂😂 because Ciel will probably annoy him and it's so fun to see him suffer

[@rayphantom2547]

Public school arc having a bigger budget and a few more new costumes... I HONESTLY CAN'T WAIT FOR HE'S REACTION 😆

[@lindseymcdaniel3484]

I loved the insight on Sebastian's thoughts toward Ciel, I loved it clearly spelled out that his dedication is always only in indirect service to himself, and not out of genuine affection. The way I've always seen it, it's like when I was a kid and had friends that raised cows and pigs for slaughter. They were fond of the animals, but that didn't prevent them from being eaten. Sebastian at most has that same sort of fondness for Ciel that one might have raising a lamb or a calf to be slaughtered, though it's tempered by the outright contempt he had for Ciel in the beginning.

The thing is, if ciel gets redeemed before the contract is done, Sebastian will eat him as the contract needs ciel to follow a dark path and be miserable throughout it. If ciel wants to be redeemed and escape the fate of being eaten, he has to find a way to make his contract non applicable. No spoilers here please, for me and if danny sees this

[@nwnei2561]

Ciel’a character is built to make you hate him until you realize he pushes others away in fear of harming them with what his title brings. He cares for Elizabeth and soma but won’t allow himself to indulge in their world because of that. We also see that ciel cares too much for Sebastian but is aware that Sebastian wants nothing more than to eat his soul, so he doesn’t give Sebastian the satisfaction of praise and care often. I think Yana did a wonderful job writing him.

[@saradale3901]

Am I the only one who always loved Ciel? 😭😭 I never understood it as fragile masculinity, moreso that Ciel feels really bad that he's not as strong as he wants to be and has to rely on other people. Also I feel like Ciel's bratty behaviour makes sense considering he is 12y/o, grew up rich and spoiled, has a very traumatic past, has always had a "weak" body/poor health (ie. His asthma) - so his behaviour kinda makes sense. Obviously he's not perfect, he definitely has his flaws. Idk I just always really liked him as a character. I actually prefer him over Sebastian, which I guess is a really unpopular opinion.

[@Solarstormflare]

I like ciel way more than Sebastian but i think manga readers who reach a certain arc are more likely to feel that way

[@saradale3901]

@@Solarstormflare I totally agree! but even before I read the manga, I kinda preferred Ciel - but in the end it doesn't really matter I guess, everyone likes different kinds of characters and it's understandable why people would dislike Ciel.

[@ShinoriDelfrim]

Yeah I actually liked Ciel more. I still like Sebastian just lean more towards Ciel.

[@earlgreymilktae]

I prefer Ciel as well! He is my favorite character in the whole show. What he lacks in physical strength he makes up for with his wit, cunning, mental fortitude, lowkey good acting skills, manipulation, and the occasional moment where he is actually quite sweet (telling Snake his skin isn’t something to be ashamed of, the fact that he didnt really have to start a toy company but he did anyways to fulfill his childhood dream, etc).

[@shinisnotonfire]

NO NO BUT SAME. ciel has always been my favorite, both 8 years ago when i first got into black butler and now that i'm rewatching it because of danny. i _get_ why sebastian is so popular and why ciel isn't, but i'm totally with you on this. ciel definitely is very flawed as a person and i guess some people can't get past that, but honestly that complexity is exactly what makes me adore him so much.

[@AJeager36]

All the praise Danny gives to the animation in this movie, which is quite good, and the different Sebastian outfits, I can't wait for him to watch the Public School Arc.

[@Lanoira13]

It definitely seems to me like eating masters' souls is the epitome of human-demon connection at least to Sebastian. It seems like any fondness he develops is a means of either marinating or savoring his meal. Sebastian gives me the vibe devouring a promised soul wouldn't be an act of a lack of sentiment, but the natural conclusion of him caring about someone. Like "what closer bond could you have with someone than consuming them so they become a part of you" sort of vibe, except literally because it's soul based.

[@sarafontanini7051]

Lizzie being a badass is SO iconic and is GREAT and took me by surprie too. I too didn't thin too much of her in the anime but seeing her show that she's ACTUALLLY cool and just pretending because she misunderstood ciel made her REALLY cool. Just seeing this little crybaby become stone cold and mrudersome zombies ALONE makes this a worthwhile arc. and yeah we've seen moments that show that ciel at least cares about lizzie despite finding her annoying. She's basically his morality pet, the one thing stopping him going too far across the line.

[@dragonhero14]

Ciel does appreciate Lizzie. He's just push his life's journey toward revenge. He know that at the end he'll die. Why would he want to deeply connect with anyone, or let anyone join that ride. He feels that staying aloof from her protects her from the choices he'll make in the future so she can marry someone else and have a normal life. Also in this movie they fully confirmed that she know that he's the Queen's Watchdog. She's been told that by her family. But it isn't confirmed if they understand what that really means. Remember, Ciel has assassins trying to kill him every single day(attacking the mansion). But we are not told the full reason for it.

[@tigerqueen1112]

So a bit of a history lesson: Campania WAS actually Titanic's sister ship and WAS closer to the Titanic when it was hit, however they never answered (for known or unknown reasons I forget) so the guys talking about a distress signal from the ship ahead was them getting the Titanic's distress call and getting eaten before they could deliver it.... Altho irl the Campania sunk years later

[@ranposkindagay]

The Titanic sank in 1912 and this is set in 1889 so I don’t think that’s what it was. It was probably just another ship seeing the iceberg and warning them I didn’t know that there was an actual ship called campania though

[@marcyb3ar214]

I don't mean to be rude but this is untrue. While the Campania was a real ship she was not related to the titanic, they were built by different company's almost 20 years apart. The Titanic and her sister ships, the Olympic and the Britannic were built by white star lines and the Campania was built by Cunard line. Although in the anime their actually receiving a warning about the iceberg not a distress call, irl the Olympic did get one but was to far away to be of help to the titanic. That last statement is true though the Campania did out live the titanic (sunk april 15 1912) and sink in a collision with the HMS revenge in 1918. I was really into the titanic as a kid so i have a couple books on it hah, had to google that bit about the Campania though.

[@tigerqueen1112]

@@marcyb3ar214 you know what you are right, I was confusing the Californian with the Campania..... TBH I was a little confused about why the sister ship was with it but I was thinking of the nurse that survived the sinking of all three (or something like that) I took was obsessed with the Titanic... But also other naval disasters so they got jumbled... The Californian was closer but bc the Titanic's wireless signal was out they never got the msg but the ship that did actually come either did get it or got something else and came as fast as possible

Just so u know Danny; as someone up to date with the manga, we aren’t even close to the end. You are so many arcs behind and the manga is ongoing lmao

[@jessicac8090]

Is the manga still good or has it fallen off? Cause it sounds like its gotten pretty long

[@rayvencaws]

@@jessicac8090it’s still amazing, but I must warn you: it’s pacing is VERY slow. GFantasy has been giving Yana Toboso less and less pages per chapter, and the manga releases through monthly chapters. For her to be able to explore the story as deeply as she wants, that means we got a 5 year period without Ciel and Sebastian as main characters on any chapter, for example. We just got out of this phase tho, so if you want to catch up to it, the chapters release every 18th.

[@rayvencaws]

It’s a great manga and I cannot recommend it enough. 5 years without focusing on your two main characters seems like too much, but I guarantee you’ll devour every one of these chapters and understand why she did that.

Just wanted to mention: Ciel has cared about Elizabeth since the start, lol. A lot of people aren't so sure on shipping them because of how they're cousins, but they do have a bond and actually quite a good relationship. Also! I'm not quite sure about this myself, but I don't think Sebastian can simply TURN into smoke. It was supposed to be a play with effects and kind of represent the anger of his true inner demon. And! Fun fact, the food Sebastian "made" was actually stuff he just kind of made appear. It's one of his powers but Ciel makes him cook manually all of the food he makes XD Also, Undertaker is still silly and goofy, I promise.

[@fosterbennington6405]

It’s funny that there’s apprehensions about it when it’s a canon ship and would happen anyway (if not for that one thing)

[@rayvencaws]

Ciel and Lizzy are cousins, yes. Canonically. And actually, Sebastian’s true form is pretty much made out of smoke, shadows and maybe blood? So he CAN technically transform in smoke whenever, but considering Ciel wants him to at least try to appear human most of the time, he usually doesn’t do that.
