In black butler manga are there more chapters translated after chapter 135 ? if so, where?

Nope. Kuro is a monthly series, next chapter is 136 and comes out on January 18th!

Btw, friendly reminder that you can buy the official translation every month here. This is about the only link towards a translated chapter you’ll ever get from me. 😉 

This site is also pretty useful to know which chapter is the latest! Have a nice day, Anon. 🙂

Isayama may have accidentally spoiled Mikasa’s future haircut back in 2015

From Isayama’s Gekkan Shingeki no Kyojin (Mikasa) interview: (credits to @yusenki@fuku-shuu @clevergirlraven)

There are some parts of Mikasa that are unrefined, yet on the other hand, she has a brave personality. I think these are influenced from the heroine of Berserk, Casca. At that time while drawing, I didn’t realize it – but after a while, I realized that Mikasa resembles Casca. 

Last year I made a comment about this parallel:

Casca is officially part of the Mikasa Ackerman starter pack. That’s right, Isayama realized they both resemble each other. They’re unrefined and came from nothing, they have traumatic pasts, they’re muscular, they’re incredible warriors, they’re brave, the list goes on.

Well, it seems like Mikasa and Casca have one more thing in common now!

The resemblance is uncanny.

What If….There Had Been Other Murder But This One Was Different?

shinigami-mistress:

It’s been pointed out that Vincent seemed to have some idea that his life might be in danger as he told Diederich to watch out for the twins if anything should happen to him. Of course, Diederich thought this was odd at the time, but Vincent’s words most likely seemed oddly prophetic to him later.

There are popular theories that this might be because Claudia had been murdered, and Vincent knew he might be as well. Yet, Vincent apparently had no idea how violent his killer(s) would be or that his boys would be in danger. Him asking Diederich to watch over them if something happened to him gives this some evidence. Vincent apparently thought the boys still had a future. After all, if he had thought that the twins might be in such danger, he probably would have taken a lot more precaution.

This makes me wonder again about Claudia and her death. If Claudia had been killed, then it stands to reason her murder was most likely different because there are zero hints that Vincent and Frances suffered anything even remotely comparable to the twins. Both were able to grow to be adults, marry, and have children. If all this is true, then why was this attack on Vincent and his household so much more violent? What had changed? Had it become more personal somehow?

There’s still a lot of questions out there. Either way, it looks like Vincent might have thought that he would die, but I don’t think even he knew just how badly all those around him would suffer.

Thoughts?

@shinigami-mistress

This is exactly as you said…

…the reason Vincent didn’t expect anything to happen to his sons if himself were to be killed probably has to do with how he and Frances were spared if/when Claudia was killed too. 

However, I’m not 100% certain that the reason the twins were decided to suffer and probably to eventually die signs the attack of December 14th as being more personal than what possibly happened with Claudia. 

Of course it’s possible that Vincent did something that was even worse than what Claudia herself did, but in my opinion, it could also simply be that the Queen/Brown (yes, I’m totally calling them out) got tired to have yet another Watchdog becoming useless after Claudia, whatever the reason was, and this time they decided to not even try their luck with Vincent’s heirs.

The Queen needs a Watchdog, yes, but assuming that Vincent found out about what happened to his mother and why she possibly was killed (hence why he knew he would eventually die like her), maybe the Queen decided not to let a single survivor the second time, so as to not reproduce what happened with Vincent possibly trying to get revenge for what happened to his mom.

…Which failed, obviously, since Ciel came back with a demon and thoughts of revenge, but hey, at least she tried. Anyway…

…these two panels don’t really help us with the idea that Frances and Vincent managed to mourn their mom properly and found a way to be okay with how she died. In fact, it’s rather reminiscent of how Ciel himself can’t address the topic of his dead parents.

That’s why I think it’s important not to erase the possibility of other Phantomhives seeking revenge in Kuro’s plot, like Vincent before he died (because of what happened to Claudia), or even Frances currently (for both Claudia and Vincent, or just for Ciel’s & Lizzie’s sakes).

Hi!!! Hope you had had wonderful holidays! I finally caught up with Beserk, and I wanted to ask you what do you think is going to happen next? Especially with Casca and Farnese because I think Schierke is safe (I hope) but I’m really worried about the other two, especially Farnese for some reason. Thanks for reading this ask, hope you have a wonderful day! :)

Hello Anon 🙂 Thank you, I had a great time, I saw snow and I love snow 😀 Congrats on catching with Berserk too :)) So here goes:

  • What do you think is going to happen next?

Seeing as I have no idea whether you meant in the current arc or in general in the story, I’ll answer quickly to both. 

First of all, I really can’t be sure of how long it’s going to take to bring Casca back but I’m 99.99% she will be back after this arc. Miura-sensei will probably scare us once or twice before it really happens, but we’ll definitely get there eventually. Here are a few theories I wrote for the current arc: [x][x]

As for the rest of the story, I also wrote a long post a year ago or so, about what getting Casca back would mean for the whole plot. It’s still pretty accurate in my opinion but if you’re not sure of reading it, I might as well give you a lil summary:

Casca will go after after Griffith because she will want her son back and Guts (and their friends) will follow, either simply because she goes, or because he’s going to be as mad as she will be about what happened to their son. 

In other words, Casca will go back to being the extremely meaningful and impressive character she always was. Remember, Guts is no leader, but Casca was a great one even if she had to take a break for a few years. :))

  • About Farnese:

Similarly, I’m pretty sure Farnese will be okay and narratively speaking, she has to be anyway. See, the current arc (getting Casca back through a journey in her dreams) is also a good way for both Schierke and Farnese to finally move on from their crush on Guts, because the current arc will help them realizing what exactly links Guts and Casca. 

It’s always been something that they had a hard time grasping, Farnese especially, because they have no idea about what really happened during the Eclipse and because all they ever saw was Guts doing all he could to protect while she wouldn’t stop pushing him away…

image

So, Farnese (and Schierke too, even if it’s to a lesser extent) realizing what exactly Casca and Guts went through and receiving the confirmation that she’ll never be able to come between them will definitely help her move on, and this is what’s going to allow Sensei to focus on her dynamics with other characters (namely on that weird little love triangle she has with Serpico and Roderick). 

So the girls will certainly be okay, no worries and while this arc is mostly about Casca’s character, it’s still a little about Farnese and Schierke too. :))

I hope it answers your questions, thank you for the nice words, I hope you’ll have a nice weekend! 😀
