Chapter 135 Thoughts
Since I was already warned of the spoilers this morning I avoided Tumblr today until I’ve read the official translation tonight. I want to share some of my first thoughts about this chapter.
Of course the big topic right now is what was seen in the last few pages. I already suspected that this had happened to Ciel (or the twins) in the cult but seeing it being confirmed is still horrible.
There were, however, some other aspects in this chapter that I want to mention here.
The Kidnappers
After being taken by the attacker in the manor…
…our Ciel wakes up being in that trunk. But the kidnappers seem to be different people from the attackers. From what they’re saying it seems like they found Ciel…
And from the way they look and talk I don’t think they are professional killers like the ones in the manor.
Also, they don’t even seem to know about the twins being Phantomhives (the guy who buys them corrects himself as if not wanting to reveal their true identity, probably fearing they might be more expensive then).
So the kidnappers are surely other people than the attackers but since one of the attackers grabbed our Ciel it seems like he must have given the twin to the kidnappers or at least put him somewhere so the kidnappers would find him (and the twin, I guess). So did the attackers give the twins to the kidnappers intentionally…?
The Twin
I don’t know if it’s just me but somehow the twin looks a bit suspicious in some scenes…
…as if he had a plan but something went wrong…
…and now he’s feeling guilty…
I’m really not a big fan of the ‘Real Ciel is the mastermind behind the attack’ theory. But if he was being used and had a part in the attack… Maybe that could explain some things.
There’s also the thing about the ring. He said he took it from Vincent…
…which means he must have been there after Vincent was killed but before our Ciel got there. But since the dog was killed right before our Ciel got there the attacker must have still been there, leaving not much time for the twin to take the ring without being taken by the attacker and then disappear before our Ciel could find him. Unless maybe the attacker took the twin after he had taken the ring and disappeared with him before our Ciel could reach them. In that case, did the attacker leave real Ciel with the ring intentionally…?
The Cult
Again, there are images of stars and such, strongly reminding me of the Blue Sect…
(not helping that this guy refers to the twins as the “stars” of the party (though I’m not sure if that’s the same term in the original Japanese version))
The cultist is speaking French and apparently this is the motto of a ‘religion’ that really existed:
The founder, Aleister Crowley, also was part of a sect called Golden Dawn or in Latin Aurora Aurea (*cough* Aurora Society *cough*). (see also this post for more parallels) And both sects, Aurora Aurea and the Thelema religion, draw parallels to ancient Egyptian beliefs and god (*cough* Osiris Company *cough*).
Of course these parallels could just be a coincidence but it’s still a bit suspicious…

Without Sebastian, Ciel would not have survived his brief (and not complete) recovery period. Let’s say, hypothetically, Ciel made it out from the cult. He didn’t get a demon, but he still took his brother’s name. Why do I think this?
This is something he asks of Sebastian whenever something jarring happens, something that triggers his PTSD. This was just the first incident, and it is obvious Ciel was very shaken. As Sebastian said, Ciel often “screamed himself awake”. The contract states that Sebastian must keep Ciel from harm, and that includes harm he may cause himself physically. I cannot speak into how it is to survive the trauma he survived, but I can image it is a traumatizing recovery in itself. He had no coping devices, and being who he is (self-loathing and feeling he deserves doom - maybe due to survivors guilt or other factors) I wouldn’t be surprised if he turned to self destructive behaviors. Sebastian truly saved him from doom (after the literal doom), and I believe he even admits this in Circus. Thus, he has a relationship to Sebastian built on trauma. These types of bonds are very strong, but can also be abusive within themselves. This is also why I don’t think Ciel acts in Murder when he sees Sebastian’s corpse - or at least he went in with the intention to act and was actually triggered when he saw (not only the way Sebastian mimicked his father) that Sebastian was not responding to his orders, hence the “you were not supposed to die!” Also, his reaction here, when he doesn’t know if Sebastian survived:
and here:
The one thing Ciel can always rely on is Sebastian protecting his life - from the harm other people wished on him, and the harm he wished on himself. He knows his protector will one day be the one who destroys him, but Ciel knows deep down that he literally and figuratively owes Sebastian his life.
Do NOT tag as Sebaciel.
