#new chapter thoughts

[castleartsebaciel]

Interesting thoughts on the manga cover.

It is striking that “holy days” was not written as one word, like the typical holiday. Instead, it was written as “holy days.”

Ciel, who is surrounded by gifts and three of his stuffed rabbits, could therefore be a hint that he will live to see his 14th birthday. And that with Sebastian at his side. Who can be seen in the group. Even if only as a stuffed rabbit on the edge.

The various outfits worn by the rabbits are also interesting. These are Ciel's main outfits on occasions when Undertaker played an important role and appeared as an opponent against Sebastian.

Ciel's outfit is interesting, though. He's wearing a pageboy's costume. The decorations are the same as those at the hotel where they're investigating. A hint it would have been better to hide as a simple employee? Or could it be that Ciel will be serving something in the end...

i keep telling you people that yamazaki would be nuts as a horror mangaka. but does anyone listen to me. does anyone hear my truth

Hey. Hi. Hello. Fuck.

OK just read the new chapter and had to share some thoughts.

1) the resemblance to the beginning of this journey. They looked for jae-ha last and he has been the first to disappear. Shin-ah was second and we are back with just kija. The dragons are being lost in reverse to how they were found. Aside from Zeno of course who, just as he showed up the first time makes his presence known only of his own accord.

2) Zeno being pressed for questions and obviously either lying or avoiding saying anything. Particularly with his quick response to the chalice.

Hear me out.

The chalice was the start of this mess for Zeno. It gave him immortality and with it centuries of agony. What if he suspects that there's a way to use the chalice once more to reverse it? What if it holds the secret that will let him finally die? The palace has been burnt to the ground, the sanctity of the mausoleum breached and the chalice stolen. We don't know what chagol did with it while it was in his possession. Maybe the circumstances combined and with everything on a knife's edge with the dragons and their holy artifacts/places, it all leads up for Zeno to have an out. To finally die. He loves the other dragons as he did his own dragon Brothers but he knows either way they will die and leave him like every generation before. If there is a chance that he can finally join them and all the others before. To join hiryuu in the heavens. I think he would be hard pressed to pass up that opportunity if it ever arose. It's the only thing I can imagine that would tempt him to in any way betray his friends. We know he hides history and info on the dragons many times in the series but this and the behavior surrounding it is all just so different.

This was total conspiracy theory right here but lemme know what you think.

Honestly in my ideal scenario with the dragons this whole issue with their powers leads to a form of death wherein they lose their powers and become human. Maybe that means the eyes of the dragon go blind. Maybe the green and white dragons become amputees. In some physical or metaphysical death they separate their lives from the dragons powers and that let's them stay with their loved ones.

I don't know but God damnit I can hope.

SLEEPY PRINCESS IN DEMON CASTLE 360 SPOILERS BELOW

vvvvvvvvvvv

It’s been a while since we had Morpheus and Suya hang out, they’re besties ur honour…

Also brief Poseidon cameo for my well being - I wonder if the serious expression on him and Leo is because they’re dealing with the actual plot of the emo Morpheus giving people nightmares while the main duo are trying to watch Nintendo Direct live 😭

first of all, thank you elias for addressing what i was asking aloud during the previous chapter slice. i guess he was hiding in her shadow? but im unsure what to make of this. doesnt help that this in the middle of a battle with z-lister characters we wont see again, so im doubting theyll have a proper followup conversation to this. heres hoping im wrong

elias has been more of a guardian in this arc, which ive touched on before, but it hasnt changed thus far. hes mostly been a hapless parent to a rambunctious and wily child for the past ~25 chapters. but then we get this admission that hes larping guardianship so he wont be treated as a child himself. is this exchange meant to remind us that hes not supposed to be a parent figure? robinthorn kind of has this dynamic that bends and warps to fit their circumstances, and mostly this is because neither of them know what theyre doing. but elias has been parentmaxxing for so long that i dont know, GENUINELY, how ill react to them stepping back into their previous, more intimate dynamic

i think its really good and refreshing that yamazaki wants them to grow and mature together, but at the same time im wondering why we made chise a child if she wanted a monster/human story but also explicitly condemns the exploitation of children in her storytelling. it feels increasingly that you cant have it both ways with the story as it is. it wont be until chapter 600 that this can actually authentically be called a monster/human story. its more like... a human story with a monster in it

chise................. this is a silly question coming from you
