6 FACTS TO KNOW ABOUT SOME OF THE GRIM REAPERS FROM BLACK BUTLER

(Grell isn’t in this list because I’ve actually made a separate post just for him before. You can find it here if you’d like to look at it!)

1. Undertaker

Yana Toboso (the Black Butler creator) has stated that Undertaker’s character design was based upon the design of a character of a pirate manga that she had planned before she started working on Black Butler.

2. William T. Spears

Aside from being the only Grim Reaper to reveal his middle initial as T, William had a lower grade average than Grell back when they were still Grim Reaper students. Grell had an A average while William only had a B average.

3. Ronald Knox

There was a lot of designs made for Ronald’s character before his look was decided upon. One of these rejected designs actually ended up being used for Cheslock’s character design!

4. Othello

Othello shares his name with both a play (and the respective main character of the play) by Shakespeare, and with a board game. Reversi is a strategy board game for two players, and has been marketed under the trademark Othello. Othello actually wears the pieces of this board game on his coat pocket.

5. Ludger

Ludger thinks that Grell is too flashy and extravagant.

6. Sascha

Screen Shot 2018-08-05 at 10.45.53 pm
In a flashback in chapter 105 a silhouette of Sascha was shown alongside a noose, implying that he committed suicide by hanging when human.

6 FACTS ABOUT THE PHANTOMHIVE HOUSEHOLD SERVANTS

“If someone means any harm against the Young Master in this mansion, no matter who they are, these servants will have no mercy on them” – Tanaka 

  1. Sebastian

    Screen Shot 2018-05-27 at 10.53.12 pm.png
    Sebastian is the one who taught Finnian and Mey-Rin how to read

  2. Baldroy

    Screen Shot 2018-05-27 at 11.04.29 pm.png
    Baldroy is afraid of snakes, which is why whenever Snake and his snakes appear at the Manor he hides behind Finnian. Baldroy’s mentioned before that his fear stems from an incident that happened in Arizona, though we don’t know exactly what that incident is…

  3. Tanaka

    Screen Shot 2018-05-27 at 10.54.35 pm
    In the early drafts of the manga, Tanaka had thicker hair. Toboso has also revealed that his character was modelled after his late voice actor, Shunji Fujimura

  4. Finnian

    Screen Shot 2018-05-27 at 10.55.28 pm.png
    As shown in chapter 87, it seems that Finnian can actually speak some German!

  5. Mey-Rin

    Screen Shot 2018-05-27 at 10.55.01 pm.png
    In the first episode of Black Butler Mey-Rin’s eyes are blue, but then they are hazel for the rest of the anime… However, in the manga her eyes are actually red

  6. Snake

    Screen Shot 2018-05-27 at 10.57.29 pm.png
    Snake is said to be half-snake, so it makes sense that his skin has some scales on it. But he seems to be quite self-conscious about this, as he was insecure about it when two ladies in Campania were talking about his skin and its snake-like properties. Being a human-snake hybrid though does allow him to understand snakes, allows snakes to speak though him, and also means that he can fall under the influence of a snake charming flute (they make him dizzy and faint)

6 ACTORS WHO’VE VOICED COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TYPES OF CHARACTERS

I think I’m just sitting here in a state of slight shock at the moment… But all these VAs are so talented! And they have so many other awesome roles that I could mention too!

  1. Hiroshi Kamiya has voiced both Levi Ackerman and Mephisto Pheles!

    Screen Shot 2018-04-27 at 11.32.40 pm.png
    I think that I just find this kind of entertaining because Levi is obsessed with cleaning, while Mephisto loves chaos.
  2. Natsuki Hanae has provided his voice for Ken Keneki and Inaho Kaizuka.

    Screen Shot 2018-04-27 at 11.34.11 pm.png
    An interesting character vs a cardboard personality?
  3. Ono Daisuke is the voice of both Erwin Smith and Sebastian Michaelis!!!

    Screen Shot 2018-04-27 at 11.38.21 pm.png
    Well they’re both amazing… So I don’t really know why I’m surprised that they’re voiced by the same actor.
  4. Mamoru Miyano has voiced Light Yagami and Rin Matsuoka.

    Screen Shot 2018-04-27 at 11.40.18 pm.png
    Wow. Just wow.
  5. Megumi Ogata is the voice actress of both Yugi Muto and Sailor Uranus?!

    Screen Shot 2018-04-27 at 11.51.27 pm.png
    Okay, okay, I did not see that one coming at all!
  6. Junichi Suwabe is the voice of both Victor Nikiforov and Juzo Sakakura.

    Screen Shot 2018-04-27 at 11.44.30 pm.png
    Victor can be a total airhead and is so excitable, while Juzo is… not.

  4. Grell’s name is thought to be a reference to Petter Sutcliffe (who is also known as ‘The Yorkshire Ripper’). ‘Grell’ is then thought to mean ‘gaudy’ or ‘garishly’ (in German)
    Screen Shot 2018-04-21 at 10.46.11 pm.png
  5. It was the actually Toboso’s editor’s idea to make Grell flamboyant
    Screen Shot 2018-04-21 at 10.45.03 pm.png

    Screen Shot 2018-04-21 at 10.43.47 pm.png

9 FACTS ABOUT CIEL FROM ‘BLACK BUTLER’

“I am Ciel Phantomhive. That is my one and only name.”

  1. Ciel’s favourite animals are dogs and horses. He also likes cats, though he’s allergic to them

    Screen Shot 2018-04-06 at 4.38.22 pm

  2. However, Ciel has said that his allergy is irrelevant to the fact that cats aren’t allowed in the mansion. This is because he wouldn’t allow something to happen that would make Sebastian happy

    Screen Shot 2018-04-06 at 4.32.34 pm

  3. Ciel is a very intellectually gifted child. His best subject is French, which he’s fluent in

    Screen Shot 2018-04-06 at 4.35.38 pm.png

  4. Because of his deal with Sebastian and hence the eye-patch, Ciel has problems with his depth perception

    Screen Shot 2018-04-06 at 4.37.38 pm.png

  5. Ciel’s favourite flower is a sterling silver rose

  6. Before Toboso settled on Ciel, some of the other names that were considered for the character were Estelle, Aster, Angel, Angelo, Fate, Celestial, Rain, Lapis and Voltaire. Ciel’s last name also could have been Faust or Ghosthive…

    Screen Shot 2018-04-06 at 4.36.42 pm.png

  7. Ciel’s birthday is on the 14th December, which is also the date of Prince Albert’s death. Ciel’s ‘deathday’ though is on the 26th August, which is also Prince Albert’s birthday

    Screen Shot 2018-04-06 at 11.28.20 pm.png

  8. Ciel has stated that he doesn’t like to hang out with ‘weirdos’, but everyone that he hangs out with regularly aren’t exactly what one would consider to be ‘normal’

    Screen Shot 2018-04-06 at 11.28.34 pm.png

  9. Ciel is the 2nd most popular character in the series, second only to Sebastian

11 FACTS ABOUT SEBASTIAN FROM ‘BLACK BUTLER’

“Society has monsters lurking in it that are far nastier than a demon like me” – Sebastian (to Ciel)

  1. Sebastian’s last name, Michaelis, is derived from the Japanese word ‘mikari,’ meaning ‘repayment’

    Screen Shot 2018-03-17 at 10.35.21 pm.png

  2. Sebastian is said to be based upon an inquisitor from the 16th century who wrote about the classification of the demons of Hell and about possession

    Screen Shot 2018-03-17 at 10.35.36 pm.png

  3. Whenever Sebastian does something that humans find impressive he always says, “I am simply one hell of a butler.” But in Japanese, what he says can also be read as, “I am both a demon and a butler”

    Screen Shot 2018-03-17 at 10.35.59 pm.png

  4. Sebastian is first introduced as a crow – but this only happens in anime. In the manga Sebastian is first revealed in his ‘true form’

    Screen Shot 2018-03-17 at 10.47.44 pm.png

  5. Demons cannot taste. So when Sebastian ‘tastes’ the curry, we can assume that he can taste to some extent – just maybe not in the same way that humans can. This explains why he needs practise to get his cooking right, because he needs to learn what tastes good to humans?

    Screen Shot 2018-03-17 at 10.32.33 pm.png

  6. When Sebastian raises a handkerchief cover his face in episode 17, this suggests that demons have an aversion for salt. However, no other objects seems to have an effect on Sebastian – as he has no problems with Churches or rosary beads

    Screen Shot 2018-03-17 at 10.33.38 pm.png

  7. Sebastian is fluent in French and Latin, and can also speak German and East Franconian

    Screen Shot 2018-03-17 at 10.34.40 pm.png

  8. There is a definite resemblance between Sebastian and Vincent. This is actually intentional, though Yana Toboso hasn’t revealed why she chose to draw them this way

    Screen Shot 2018-03-17 at 10.34.23 pm.png

  9. Back in the Victorian era butlers were called by their last name. So that means that Ciel should technically be calling Sebastian ‘Michaelis’ and the other servants should be calling him ‘Mr Michaelis’

    Screen Shot 2018-03-17 at 10.34.09 pm.png

  10. Sebastian is shown to love cats, though it’s implied throughout the series that he hates dogs. Ironically, Ciel named Sebastian after his late dog…

    Screen Shot 2018-03-17 at 11.19.17 pm.png

  11. In early drafts of Black Butler, Sebastian’s hair was styled with a 7:3 ratio parting. However, Toboso’s editorial staff didn’t like this hairstyle, so she had to change Sebastian’s hair to that of a middle part
