Who stabbed Tanaka?

Ciel remembered the events of 14th December 1885 twice in the manga so far. But only once did we get a closer look on Tanaka’s attacker.

Chapter 19 opens with Ciel running around the manor, desperately trying to find help and failing. Until he runs into Tanaka.

Then the next page shows us Tanaka warning our Ciel and getting stabbed. Meanwhile somebody standing behind Ciel puts their hand in front of Ciel’s eyes.

The last two panels are very interesting.

In the above panel we can see Tanaka and the murder weapon. In the other panel, we see Tanaka’s back, the hand obscuring Ciel’s vision and a dark figure.

The figure’s silhouette gives the impression of robe like clothes or a coat. And there is another thing.

The tip of the murder weapon.

Now if we put this part and the part we see sticking out of Tanaka together…

This looks like a scythe. And who do we know, who wears a coat like that and owns a scythe?

Undertaker.

Lee Gon, The Name That Must Not Be Called

This show is all about the details. That’s why every scene, and every line matters. From the beginning, it was always mentioned that our Pyeha cannot be called by his real name, Lee Gon. So he wouldn’t even tell people his name. He would only ever introduce himself as the King of the Kingdom of Corea and that’s it. And this made him so deeply rooted into his role as the King, as if his sole purpose in life was to be the King and forget that ‘Lee Gon’ existed. So he dedicated his whole life to it.

But as he spent time with Jeong Tae Eul, he came to realize that with her, he’s not the King of the Kingdom of Corea, he’s Lee Gon. To the bare, he is a man in love. And that man has to be called Lee Gon, not the King. It was Lee Gon that held on to Lieutenant Jeong Tae Eul’s ID in hopes of finding her one day. It was Lee Gon that sneaked out of the Kingdom of Corea to meet Jeong Tae Eul. It was Lee Gon that made it back to 2020 after being stuck in the past, as he used his love to get him through. Which is why the first time he tells anyone in the Republic of Korea his name is right after he lands back in the right time, after holding so strongly onto the memory of Tae Eul for so long. He found his Lee Gon self as he trekked through time. Jeong Tae Eul showed him that he is more than just the King, knowingly or unknowingly.

So when the show basically ends with Lee Gon doing his duty as the king but also proudly telling the child his name is Lee Gon, with the dramatic royal music in the back as the camera pans to the portrait of him as the king, it hits you right in the feels. He no longer is only introducing himself as the king. He’s acknowledging that he’s now in a better place than he has ever been before. He’s finally acknowledging that he is both the King and Lee Gon, thanks to Jeong Tae Eul. And it’s much less of a burden on him this way. So it’s not only Lee Gon that impacted Jeong Tae Eul by making her world rounder, but also the other way around.

And that, folks, is why this last scene was so epic to me. The King: Eternal Monarch is evidently a love story, but the hidden story is that of Lee Gon’s journey within himself. And he will forever be the King because he grew up as the King, so that identity is never leaving him - just like his identity of Lee Gon, his birth name. And hence, his two identities combine to show that Lee Gon is an eternal monarch. Frankly I couldn’t piece together why and how he went from never saying his name to finally saying it. Or why I was so moved by this scene. But I’m glad to have found it. I’m going to miss Lee Gon so damn much.
