I mean, Ludger from Black Butler lol - aka Rudgar

gonna answer this one to tell u i think i know who you mean but i haven't reread the school arc in so longggg except for that one part where ciel laced the other team's pie with laxatives (hehee >:D little small horrible son) so i would probably have nothing to circle on the bingo. i will reread the school arc (and maybeeee some of the boy band arc or what's it called. cause i think he turns up there too) and get back to you on the weekend probably lol (i've been needing to get back to my kuro reread anyway. i think i was just finishing up on the circus arc when i left off about a month ago)

am i the only one who feels that the reapers lost or don’t have any “humanity”??? like, with sebastian it’s different cause he’s a demon. he isn’t really supposed to have any but with the reapers, they used to be human. they killed them selves when they where human. and they “work” with them since they have to watch them die.

I doubt you are the only one, but I can only agree with you to an extent. I think it varies somewhat from reaper to reaper.

Grelle probably acts the least human, with those shark teeth, the change to a chainsaw for a death scythe (that’s one of William’s charges against Grelle — a new, unauthorized death scythe modification), the blood lust that led to extra human deaths, the ability to compare Campania’s maiden voyage to a rough “first time”. However, even the blood lust and the overly sexual jokes about death and destruction are not outside the range of human desires, emotions, and actions. They are all just rather negative. Grelle, particularly early on in the series, acts like a human with a personality disorder — a sociopath, perhaps even a psychopath. By the time you get to ch149, though, Grelle seems to show signs of self reflection and something outside of selfishness. Hard to tell what’s going on; it’s like Yana-san hasn’t settled on Grelle’s personality. Maybe neither has Grelle. Which really makes me wonder what punishments are actually like for reapers who break the codes of their realm and office. Somehow, I don’t think suspension from work is quite as simple and... uneventful... as not being on duty for a while.... (Tampering with their cinematic records might part of it??)

William tries to be as non-human as he can, making him seem almost mechanical. But I don’t think he is that way inside. I see him as having plenty of human feelings but trying his best to hide them — even deny them — because he thinks such things can only be a distraction at work. His reminders to Ronald to remain objective might be for his own “benefit”. What benefit there is. Being so objective with his decisions, he is unlikely to see any human as worthy of saving. And that could hinder his own salvation... if that’s even a real incentive. The promise of salvation could be a lie. I’m hoping his objectivity breaks, at some point.

Sascha clearly enjoys being a reaper, but they seem very new to the job, and we haven’t even seen their death scythe. Just a camera (that Yana-san implies isn’t a death scythe, though it could be one in disguise, like Undertaker’s main sotoba), the death list, and a dossier. After decades, let alone centuries, of this... day in and day out... Sascha should start to feel worn down by it all. Even now, Sascha understands why some reapers might desert their posts. Most of those reasons seem pretty “human” in nature, don’t they?

I don’t have much to say about Ludger/Rudgar, except that he isn’t into being a reaper nearly as much as Sascha, and he takes a rather practical approach to his work. He’s like William but less detached in his attitude. He is openly more human. Less interested in the work than Sascha, less excited about the prospects of humanity’s destructive behaviors, humans making history and technological advancements, and more work for reapers to do.

Othello strikes me as a wild card who flips back and forth between bored slacker and obsessed nut-job. He clearly likes what he does... which isn’t collecting souls. Even though Undertaker is being labeled as the mad scientist of the bunch, this label should definitely apply to Othello, too. What might have started out as curiosity for Undertaker has taken a dramatically personal and emotional turn, but Othello is the sort (I think) who will truly cut you open and poke around for the pure joy of it.

Yana-san officially did not create Eric or Alan’s personalities or write their storyline; she only created their visual designs. Therefore, she can only lay claim to their images. However, giving them a cameo in ch105 suggests she’s accepted the core of their story into manga canon. They are the only examples of deserters we have, besides Undertaker, and if anything from The Most Beautiful Death in the World is to be taken at face value, it’s that their personal reasons for deserting their posts are very human emotions of fear, pain, love, and a sense of loss.

The least “human” aspect of Ronald might be his gruesome and demeaning choice of a lawnmower for his death scythe. He’s the one William warns to be vigilant about objectivity, and, during the circus and Campania arcs, Ronald shows no problem doing that. Overtime and extra paperwork suck, after all. However, the latest chapter, as of this post (ch174), suggests he might be considering Ada for the first “shinigami pass” of the series. Too early to tell, but that could be where his latest activity at Athena Sanatorium is headed. If so, then he’s quite human in his behavior, after all.

I have nothing much to say about Lawrence “Pops” Anderson, since we haven’t seen him in the manga. Seems to me he is in the canon, and that’s about it. He makes the custom glasses for reapers. He’s been around as a reaper for a long time. I have a crack theory regarding those glasses, but I’ll let someone ask me for it in a 🤡 ask....

Undertaker is actually quite human in his emotional range, imho. Sure, he’s got that mad scientist vibe going, but he’s a naturally curious sort, laughs deeply, loves deeply, misses his loved ones deeply, and he’s willing to go to great lengths to hold onto what’s left. He’s what someone like William or Ronald could become... if they let themselves feel about humans. Let’s not forget Undertaker must have discovered something about the reaper organization that the other reapers we’ve been introduced to probably don’t (yet) have a clue about. It has changed him from the “epitome” of a reaper he used to be (136649) into someone willing to destroy the entire reaper organization.

Um, anyway.... My thoughts on the “humanity” of the reapers. 😬 ☺️

I think I passed all my classes this semester. I officially have a B in Communicative Research and Writing, an A- in videography and possibly a B+ or a big higher or a bit lower (my professor for that class doesnt really follow blackboard grading) for foundations of logic and reasoning.

Also tag yourself: I'm a mix of sacha and eric.

🧐Hi! I have seen you often talk about Claudia and UT here so this is related. Sorry if my writing's a bit wonky, English isn't my first language.

As far as I know, the only family tree we have been shown was from the notebook of a reaper, so I would assume that specific version of the family tree would not be something that is known to humans, which means that the Cedric K. Ros- is Vincent's and Francis' biological father. (Idk if that makes sense, sorry 😅)

I have seen some of your posts mention how Francis simply doesn't want to be associated with UT and therefore avoids him, which I think mostly suggests that you believe Vincent and Francis knew UT was their father?? Don't wanna assume anything )))

But Claudia wasn't married, if she is a descendant of the Phantomhive family and not someone who was married into the family, she would have probably changed her surname. Which could be a good reason as to why she would hide who the father is from her children, and pretty much everyone. So basically what I'm getting at, I think her relationship with UT (if there was one) was completely secret.

Also based on hiw Francis reacts to UT, she doesn't seem to know him, obviously she is uncomfortable (but really, who isn't?) So either she just doesn't know him as family, or forgot.

Is there anything that you could correct in my thought process?

🤔 to discuss a specific theory

First of all, your English is pretty darn good.

I’d say you are correct that those German reapers are looking at a biological family tree that isn’t dependent upon marriages and is probably not common knowledge.

Yes, I’ve been on the fence about it in the past, but I do now think Frances/Francis knows Undertaker is her biological father, and I think she’s known this for a while, at least.

I agree that Claudia/Cloudia was probably never officially married, though we don’t know for sure. She could have married *someone* and never even had children with him, since that family tree only shows direct biological lineage. That’s why Frances/Francis isn’t showing, despite the canon fact she’s Vincent’s full-sibling. It could be that she never changed her name simply because she had to carry on the Phantomhive name, and it looks like her father was the previous earl of Phantomhive (looks like M— Phantomhive to me). Another reason we don’t know whether she married is because it looks as though only maiden names of women are shown on the family tree — which is quite common for family trees. Her mother’s maiden name appears to be something like Malone. Rachel isn’t shown, simply because she’s cut off the panel, but I expect that it would show her maiden name, not Phantomhive. Therefore, she has three potential reasons to not broadcast the name of her children’s father:

She might have never married. They would automatically be children out of wedlock.

She might have married a man who did not sire her two children, Vincent and Frances. That would also be children born out of wedlock.

Regardless of marriage, the father of her children is a reaper, and there are “people” who would not approve of this.

Her relationship with Cedric would probably have been secret, regardless of exactly who Cedric is, but that doesn’t mean Frances/Francis and Vincent didn’t find out, particularly if it was being kept secret from them and they wanted to know the truth. It’s also possible they went years not knowing, and Undertaker told them himself... after their mother was dead. If Undertaker needed proof, there might be tangible evidence. Least of which would be strong physical similarities between himself and Frances/Francis. These similarities would also be seen between himself and the Midford children, Edward and... to some extent... Lizzie.

You see Frances/Francis as uncomfortable and creeped out by Undertaker because of unfamiliarity and his innate creepiness. I see her as uncomfortable because she is more familiar with him than she wants to be, and she’s trying to hide it from her husband, Alexis, who I’m assuming has no clue. She might also be trying to keep the truth from her nephew, the real Ciel. To me, and to several others in the fandom, she’s terrified that Undertaker is about to do more than reference the fact he recalls her birth. Not simply that time passes differently for him, though that’s also a topic she would rather avoid, but that he was there. He either personally witnessed her birth... or he was waiting in another room at the manor, just like Vincent was waiting in another room while the twins were being delivered. So, I interpret it as: she knows he is family... and she would love to forget. But Undertaker likes to remind her.

Idk that I can exactly correct your thought process here. It’s really a matter of different interpretations of what we are reading/seeing. Seems to me that this is intentional on Yana-san’s part. She wants the readers to question what’s going on... until she’s ready to spell it out for us.
