Étiquette : bizarre dolls

1. Hi! I know you’re skeptical about 2CT, but please hear me out. Let’s assume our Ciel really has a twin. That twin was the one with the bloody shirt. He must have died from BLOOD LOSS. Then UT once said that BDs crave for things they lack. In the dead twin’s case, he needs blood. That must be why ‘Lord Sirius’ needs it. Because he MUST be our Ciel’s twin. And about the ‘Sirius has hands like that of an old man’s’ thing, well, dead people also have those sometimes. (I hope I made sense haha)

Hey Anon 🙂 Well, I believe you read this post according to what you’re saying so thanks for that. 🙂

I’m well aware of the theory you’re proposing (it’s not because I don’t like the 2CT that I don’t notice the hints 😉 Actually it’s precisely because I noticed them as much as 2CTers that I try finding other explanations, haha) and, just to make things clear, I am not skeptical about the 2CT: I am very aware of the hints and of the possibility but I just don’t want for this plot twist to happen for different reasons. That’s not being skeptical, that’s a different preference in fiction. 😉

It’s like people who don’t think Shinigami can reproduce and therefore don’t like the theory that UT has something to do with Ciel’s lineage (some because UT x Claudia actually having a thing would be like necrophilia, others simply because they don’t like it): it’s a matter of preference there again, they’re not being narrow minded and opposed to the hints.

I hope this part is clear between us 🙂 and since you took some time to send me a message about it, let me tell you why I can’t really agree to this explanation for the last chapter.

The thing is, I think you guys (because you’re not the only one who mentioned this possiblity) are misinterpreting UT’s words:

First, the biological example he gave was for a wound and not a person and then please consider this doll’s record in ch61:

She was hit by a carriage, do you have any idea what it means about her death? Probably multiple organ lacerations leading to organ failures definitely by hemorrhaging (both internal and external), which is literally the same thing as the theoretical twin’s death on the altar according to your own words (except for him it was because of a stab to the heart). 

And did this doll attack any differently from the other dolls on the Campania? Nope. UT edited her cinematic record, making the body believe it could move again and she did as the others, that is “trying to find a soul to settle the balance of the never-ending cinematic record”.

You want another example? Take the Weston arc, how do you think those kids and Agares died? By severe intracranial hemorrhaging because of blunt force trauma to the head leading to the brain’s death. And even with UT working on their “episodes” for the cinematic record, were they looking for blood? Nope, they acted just like the dolls on the Campania.

That’s the thing: Bizarre Dolls want a soul because they are lacking balance with their edited cinematic record

because in Kuro soul and cinematic record inherently go together. Resurrection by UT is because of him editing the records, it’s never about how the dolls died so they’re not craving after blood in particular.
And just so you know Anon, if the death isn’t natural but because of a physical trauma or injury it means almost always death by hemorrhaging (blood loss as you called it) one way or another.

So there you go. 🙂 Be careful not to overinterpret too much, especially not by using biology when the concept is completely supernatural: UT spoke of a balance between cinematic record and soul not about anything biological when it comes to resurrection, because resurrection biologically speaking will never be a thing if your brain is dead (which is why Yana-sensei is using a supernatural concept to explain it

in the first place). 😉

Thank you for passing by, and just as a last precision, actually I consider the 2CT with every obvious hints passing our way, but until now I chose not to favor it because I could explain it differently almost every time. 🙂

I hope you’ll have a nice day, Anon! 

((ps: for anyone reading this, I don’t mind if you disagree but don’t reblog that post to talk specifically about the 2CT (any version) please. Thank you.))

Sebastian sensing souls and the Bizarre Dolls at Weston

All right, that’s enough about tradition and Weston rules for a while. Let’s talk about the supernatural. (Hella spoilers for chs 67-84 again, with bonus spoilers for ch 60.)

Recall from chapter 60 that the Undertaker makes his first round of Bizarre Dolls by attaching artificial records to the end of corpses’ cinematic records. Those Dolls seek out and destroy humans because they instinctively desire souls to complete themselves.

The Bizarre Dolls in the Weston arc are a little different. Undertaker creates these Dolls by attaching their own “episodes,” their hopes and dreams for the future, to the ends of their cinematic records. (In the original Japanese, Sensei uses the kanji 素材 (sozai), which means “raw materials; subject matter.” However, the kanji is accompanied by the pronunciation “e-pi-so-do,” so take that as you will.)  

Even with more genuine records, the Dolls of Derrick Arden and his friends attack humans when given the chance.

We’ve known for a while that Sebastian can detect souls at a distance, but it’s not very clear how Sebastian’s soul-sense reads the Bizarre Dolls. During the Campania arc, he never says he can’t detect the Dolls. He just says, “It is a being I do not understand” (ch 52 pg 34).

Even so, I think it’s interesting Sebastian never said anything to Ciel about soulless things at Weston before the midnight tea party.

Maybe he could sense all of the Dolls perfectly, knew exactly where they were right away, and didn’t say anything because Ciel never asked. He’s been known to pull that shit before.

But maybe the Dolls are completely invisible to his soul-sense. That would explain why he never found Derrick before his corpse waltzed into the tea party. 

Whether or not he can detect the Bizarre Dolls without seeing them, he must have been keeping some suspicions from Ciel. There’s this Vice Principal walking around, interacting with Sebastian, running the school, who’s been dead the whole time. Sebastian must have noticed something was unusual about his soul.

(ch 84 pg 13)

The Undertaker calls the VP Agares Doll his “masterpiece” (ch 84 pg 14). Not only is this Doll able to masquerade as a complete human, unlike the other Dolls, it never attacks humans to take their souls.

If the Agares Doll has such a near-perfect soul that it doesn’t need to seek human souls to fill its void, that implies the corpse itself seems finds the episodes an acceptable soul substitute. Even the Doll seems to be aware that it is running on episodes (ch 82 pg 13):

When all is said and done, the Undertaker is getting scarily good at recreating something approximating a soul. I wonder whose soul he’s hoping to recreate…

Bringing this one back in the wake of chapter 108. Don’t forget: Undertaker has managed to create dolls that accept their soul substitutes.
