I may have many, many issues with the Kuroshitsuji English dub, but I will say this: when they ask Brina Palencia to scream, she fucking screams.

Sebastian's Expression in Chapter 214

[bitteraristocrat]

Guys I know we're tired of Chapter 214 spoilers but hear me out

[Season 2, Episode 4]

Chapter 214 Spoilers/Theory below the cut:

I'd like to offer a theory to the mix, although I fear I'm horribly biased against knowing anything about Sebastian's past.

For simplicity's sake, I'll just refer to the new character as Polaris(?), since I believe it's pretty likely the same person.

I think the possibility of Polaris(?) being someone from Sebastian's past (i.e., a former contractor) is a red herring. I'm thinking this person is an Undertaker concoction of some sort; perhaps Undertaker edited Polaris(?)'s Cinematic Record to make him believe that he is the butler of r!Ciel, and has convinced Polaris(?) that Sebastian and o!Ciel killed his master (r!Ciel) when they made their contract, which would give him a reason for identifying as a butler who had once lost his master (Chapter 169).

I'm thinking a lot about the tomfuckery of erasing/editing memories that we saw in season 2, where Claude pinned the demise of oCiel's family on Sebastian. This is not to say that we should consider anything from season 2 as canonical, but we're consistently seeing anime/manga plot parallels. I wonder if Polaris(?) has been brainwashed into thinking Sebastian is the true enemy of the Phantomhives, and it is now his sole purpose to hunt down the demon and take revenge.

As for his identity beyond that, I'm not sure. I think it's possible that he is simply a body that Undertaker used for the purpose of eliminating Sebastian. I also wonder if his priest garb/religious motifs have to do with him possibly resenting the demonic ritual that killed r!Ciel.

TL;DR, I'm just really hoping this character isn't someone from Sebastian's past. I'm very much aligned with Ciel's perspective of not wanting nor needing to know anything about who or what Sebastian was prior to their covenant. I think it would be far more interesting for this character to think he knows everything about Sebastian, and have Sebastian know nothing about him.

But who knows! It's going to be a very long month until we find out more.
