In ch 129,soma said that he saw THEM,and couldnt possibly mistake who thay are,does that mean that soma knows who polaris is too? Or maybe ot's just a mistranslation
Sounds like you were reading a fan translation, because here's the licensed English translation:
"I saw it as clear as day!" With "it" meaning the gun, the shooter, etc. What was directly in his face. "That is one face I would never mistake for another." Meaning the shooter and only the shooter. Because Soma is staring back at the gun and the person pointing the gun.
He's so completely sure the shooter is our earl because he never looked at the photo pieces handed to him by Agni; he still doesn't know in that scene that there are twins. Either real Ciel wears an eye patch just to make Soma think it's our earl... or Soma is too shocked to realize the shooter isn't wearing an eyepatch.
As far as Polaris is concerned, it's like he was hardly even there. Soma could hardly register much of anything about "Knife Dude" and probably just assumed Polaris is Sebastian. They are probably of similar height and build.
It seems to me that Polaris doesn't necessarily come inside at the same time as real Ciel. Because Agni looks like he wasn't even expecting this second person to attack. Real Ciel retreats as Polaris says he will take care of the rest. If Polaris' voice can also be confused for Sebastian's, then even more reason to think that Polaris is a dude and was once a butler for the Phantomhives. But, then again, I don't think Soma was being nearly as observant as he thinks he was, and, sadly, we can't ask Agni his own assessment of the attackers.
If Agni was paying attention (and he probably was), then he'd probably have said the shooter looked like our earl but wasn't wearing an eyepatch. He might have even taken note of the shooter's hair parting on the opposite side. Heck, Agni might have even noticed the shooter wasn't wearing the Phantomhive "blue candy" ring or the signet ring. And for "Knife Dude"? Agni might have noticed two major things:
This guy has half his face under a hood, so whoever this is, they want to be anonymous -- Sebastian wouldn't even bother to do something like that, particularly if he were truly with his own master.
This guy doesn't fight the same way Sebastian does -- Agni can mimic Sebastian's fighting style while under the samadhi of the Right Hand of Kali, which he uses against this "Knife Dude", but to no avail.
Therefore, Agni would definitely know he's not losing this battle to Sebastian... and he probably realizes that shooter isn't our earl but the twin in the torn/burnt-edged photo. But Agni isn't able to convey any of that information to Soma beyond handing him the bits of photo... which Soma apparently never looks at.
And so, Soma doesn't actually know who the attackers are; he just makes an assumption. The only reason Soma has any cause to think it's our earl and Sebastian is the warning our earl gave for them to get out of his business and leave.
It's a parallel to the misunderstanding that makes Pokey Minch become Ness's sworn enemy in Mother2 (and that animosity carries over to when he's King Porky and antagonizing Lucas in Mother3).
