Chapter 216: The Butler, Tallying.
[now in high quality]
I’ve been annoyed by how the official English translation has a lower image quality and different resolution to the raws, I think it does the art a disservice. So I put the translation over the Japanese release. Full chapter under the cut, steal and spread these as you please.
Credit to @butlerology for helping to translate the beginning/end teasers.

Vincent and Francis
In 2017, Yana clarified that Vincent and Francis are full siblings, and that the family tree shown in Chapter 103/Episode 68 (S5E11) does not include Francis because it merely displays Ciel's direct lineage.
"Come to speak of it, I was asked whether Frances isn't blood-related (to Ciel) since she wasn't mentioned in Ciel's family tree that appeared (in the manga) a while ago, however, it was a family tree that featured "Ciel's [direct] roots", that's why Frances, his aunt, wasn't mentioned. [Vincent and Frances] are real siblings. -Toboso"
(Source for the translation; more translated Tweets about Vincent and Francis can be found via that link!)
Vincent is also Francis' older brother :)
In the original Japanese version of Chapter 132, Francis calls Vincent "Onii-sama" (お兄様) which means "older brother." (In the YenPress translation, she calls him "Vincent" here.)
Bonus: Francis being called "Francis Phantomhive." (Mild spoiler)
@blackbutlerfanweek | day 7: free day
i'm alive by becca | a black butler animatic
manga spoilers!
(supposed to be on yt but it's not available in a lot of countries bcs of copyright 😔😔 so putting the entire vid here)
this was a year long animatic idea by now. and because of the new green witch arc season, my love for black butler got revitalized. then i saw that there's going to be a black butler fan week so... *taps the animatic's roof* i made this lil bad boy in a few weeks. felt like i got possessed by a black butler demon (sebastian) while making it, honestly
some deets under the cut
Post on Yana’s blog that I am soliciting posting here, translated by google, and soliciting any translators who would be willing to do a better job. I think this idea she’s expressing has been largely misunderstood by the Anglo sphere. I’ll save the rest of my input for another post, but I’d like to acknowledge here that Yana was never the one calling Sebastian a ‘perverted gourmet’. She seems to be implying that he’s only ‘perverse’ by demon standards.
Okada's interview was also interesting.
From Claude's point of view, Sebastian is a "pervert" …or…Well, I won't deny it (lol)
Personally, I think Sebas is a " crazy* ” devil. I also think he has a lot of free time. Ha!
I see… So people call people who have free time and put in a lot of effort to do silly amazing things "perverts"…
In the anime, they talk about the taste of Ciel's soul, but what about the taste of Ciel's soul in the original?
I think it seems more bitter, spicy, and less tasty than Ciel in the anime.
I wonder if souls even have a taste? (lol)
(…) The following is a story about the taste of the soul that I was thinking about while watching the anime Black Butler II.
Personally, I think the "value (taste) of the soul" is not the value of the person, but the value of the person who puts it in their mouth.
It's the same with humans, isn't it?
Some people say that McDonald's is the worst junk food, while others think it's the best treat.
I said this on Twitter, but I think the soul is like a bento lunch. But I think everyone starts out with the same convenience store bento. A meal that you casually pay about 500 yen for to stay alive.
But when you get tired of eating it, you'll probably start thinking, "Maybe I should cook for myself…". When that happens, the next step is to buy a bento box you like, buy cooking utensils, gather the ingredients, and start making bento. You add takoyaki sausages, hamburger steak, and fried eggs to make the bento you want to eat.
I think that's what Sebas is doing, so to speak, while raising Ciel. Sebas especially said, "I'm tired of eating random things," so I think he's the type who thinks, "I can fill my stomach with bento from a convenience store, but it's boring. I'll make it myself." Because he's lived a long life and has a lot of free time lol. Sebas especially has strange preferences, like, "If I'm going to do it, the ingredients have to be organic!" and "The salt has to come from a certain place!" (lol)
Then, when he's really hungry, he opens the box and eats it in a place with the best view. I think it tastes better than anything. I don't think it's actually the most delicious thing from the perspective of others.
"Meals" are only valuable to the person who eats them. I think that's what the soul is like.
Convenience store bento or jubako bento… But sometimes you just want a convenience store bento lol. So I don't know if Ciel actually has a really luxurious jubako bento, or if it's not much but the seasoning is great. I think only Sebas knows. From William's point of view in the original, it seems to be classified as "nothing special" lol
But in the end, you can fill your stomach with a frozen lunch box, bread from a convenience store, or white rice and pickles. I think most demons are that way. They're a bunch of no-good guys (lol). And Sebas is a departure from that, so Claude might see him as a "pervert." William might see him as a "person with too much free time."
By the way, I was interviewed with Okada the other day, and we had a chance to talk a little about demons, but the interviewer was a little surprised and said, "Oh… I guess that's what Black Butler's demons are like…" (lol). The Black Butler view of demons will be published someday, so I'll talk about that then. I don't really talk too deeply about demons, or rather, I haven't talked deeply about their existence until now, and I don't plan to do so in the future, so it might be quite valuable if you use that. Generally speaking, there are various theories, such as a former angel turned fallen angel, or someone born from the crotch of a tree… but I don't think I'll ever declare Sebas' true identity as "this!". I have a vague idea that it might be something like this (lol)
I don't really care what it is. I think it's just "blank space" that has nothing to do with the main story.
Sebastian is Sebastian. A butler after all. I think that's simply all that is needed for Sebastian in the manga "Black Butler".
*酔狂 is the kanji used
•Then, in a later post, Yana references this idea again when she gave her commentary on season 2’s character songs:
Personally, I think the best thing to listen to in Sebas' songs is the first song, which has a hard-hitting accompaniment and lyrics that are completely devoid of direct eroticism.
The lyrics for both of Sebas' songs were written by series composer Okada-san.
The lyrics are wonderful and are packed to the brim with Sebas's psychological fetishism (Okada-san calls it perversion… lol), so I hope everyone will take a listen with a lyric sheet in hand.
It's a really ideal fetish! (laughs) But the gap with the second song is terrible. (In a good way)
This is a must-listen for Barap. Ono's dark, whispering voice and Seba-rap are wonderful, so if you're a fan of Ono, this is a must-listen.
No matter what you say, this picture clearly shows that this demon is really enjoying his life as a butler for the Phantomhive family.
•The first song is “You will Rule the World”.
Japanese Translator here. Well, she never directly calls Sebastian a "perverted gourmet". If you look at the kanjis she uses, Claude referred to Sebastian as a pervert, using the kanji 変態(へんたい / hentai), which implies perverted in the sexual sense. But she clarifies in the same post, that she does not think of Sebastian as such. She specifies that she thinks of him as a
酔狂(すいきょう / suikyō), which doesn't mean pervert at all. It means eccentric. As to why the translator decided to frame that as "perverse gourmet", I don't have an explanation. She merely refers to him as an eccentric. Think of him as Hannibal.
Now, as for the translation from her entry about the season 2 character songs: (I will leave the romanji too in case someone else wants to go over it)
個人的にセバス曲の聞き所は、1曲目はハードな伴奏に乗る「直接的エロスが一切ない歌詞」だと思います。
Kojinteki ni Sebasu kyoku no kikidokoro wa, ikkyoku-me wa hādo na bansō ni noru “chokusetsuteki erosu ga issai nai kashi” da to omoimasu.
Personally, I think the highlight of Sebastian’s song is that the first track has a hard instrumental but lyrics with absolutely no direct eroticism.
セバスの歌は2曲ともシリーズ構成の岡田さんが作詞してくださいました。
Sebasu no uta wa nikyoku tomo shirīzu kōsei no Okada-san ga sakushi shite kudasaimashita.
Both of Sebastian’s songs were written by Ms. Okada, the series composer.
セバスの精神的フェティッシュさ(岡田さん曰く、変態性…w)が余すところなく詰め込まれた素敵な歌詞ですので皆さん歌詞カード片手にじっくり聴いてみて下さい。
Sebasu no seishinteki fetish-sha (Okada-san iwaku, hentai-sei… w) ga amasu tokoro naku tsumekoma reta suteki na kashi desu node, minasan kashi kādo katate ni jikkuri kiite mite kudasai.
Sebastian’s mental fetishism (according to Ms. Okada, his “perversion”… lol) is packed into the lyrics without restraint, so please listen carefully with the lyrics in hand.
もう………すごい理想的なフェティッシュさですよ!(笑)
Mou… sugoi risōteki na fetish-sha desu yo! (wara)
It’s just… a gloriously ideal kind of fetishism! (laughs)
Note, that in this case, she does use 変態(へんたい / hentai) to refer to Sebastian's "perversion", and about the lines that mention "fetish" and "erotism", well, she uses an English loan word, so there's no ambiguity in the meaning.
of all the things that I expected to happen in the Brighton mission, Sebastian's situationship with cloak guy was NOT one of them.

Dadbastian moments from the first volume of the manga
If Undertaker found a way to make it so that Sebastian can never eat Ciel's soul (without trapping him in the contract and done without Ciel's approval/involvement), what do you think Sebastian would do? (Or want/try to do. I doubt Undertaker would break the contract just to let him kill Ciel.)
Sebastian would
Leave immediately
Violent tantrum (e.g. hurt/kill Ciel)
Nonviolent tantrum (terrorize/cause problems for/be mean to Ciel)
Stay for a while (beneficially/harmlessly) but eventually leave
Leave but visit/show up to bother Ciel occasionally (affectionately/harmlessly)
Serve Ciel until his death
Stick around until Ciel dies but not as a servant
Other
See results
I don’t know whether the right answer is either kill or serve until his death. I went with kill since he already tried doing that in the emerald witch arc.
However, the more and more the chapters progress, the more sebastian is seen to (strangely enough) actually show care towards Ciel?
So that’s something to think about
imagine if after ciels revenge is completed Sebastian takes him on a fun day out before eating his soul, like that time squidward thought he'd fed spongebob an explosive pie so he gives him his idea of a perfect day
I would cry 😭
Didnt Yana draw like a sketch of Sebastian and write something about the end of the manga about how Sebastian will look after, and she drew him facing away for some reason?? I swear I remember this sketch.
Do you mean this sketch? This is from when she was doing the 30 facial expressions. The prompt was 満腹 (manpuku) which means 'full stomach.' The original posts are deleted, but a tumblr user translated them here. They translated the caption for this image as:
I wonder when we will be able to see this face in the manga. And I also wonder how he’ll look like.
