Does anyone else just feel the malevolence emanating from Real!Ciel? I’ve felt that way since Chapter 129 but the spoilers have really brought that out again. I can feel the darkness dancing underneath his beautiful eyes and tantalizing smile like an eternal temptation to finally see who he is under the mask.
When I read this chapter it hit me what a terrifying villain R!Ciel is, even more so than Undertaker since his sanity/maturity is unclear and yet everyone is about to treat him like a fully sane/mature Earl, and he will wield a lot of power.
But then it hit me… that’s probably how all of our past antagonists have felt about O!Ciel. There’s just something unnerving about a child being so impishly confident in carrying out deeds that no child should even be comfortable knowing about. Through R!Ciel we are again seeing Phantomhive cruelty… except this time, we’re not on his side.
Ooh that’s such a good point. What makes it even worse is that unlike Our!Ciel, we don’t know what limits, if any, that Real!Ciel has on his ruthlessness. It’s like staring into an abyss.

Please let me know if there are any mistakes. You can read the article that I translated from here.
Also please note, I’ve only seen pictures of the first page, but I’m 99% sure there’s another page based on the content from the interview excerpt that wasn’t included, and the lack of closing statement from Ishida. So I (and my pounding headache) would appreciate it if people didn’t jump to conclusions like they did for his afterword last time…
I’ll shut up now. Thanks and hope you enjoy~
(btw if anyone has the rest of the interview, please send me a message)
Gandalf: man I am so done with this world. I need a break. I think it’s time to visit old valinor.
Elrond: you think you have it tough??? My parents left me for some sparkly rocks, my brother abandoned me to face the ages of this world alone, my wife is gone and my daughter ran away and married my fucking foster son. What could possibly be worse than thousands of years of this???
