The public school arc is bound to make him start screaming so much when he gets to it

"Lizzy has a SEVERE misunderstanding of what the male gaze is." perfectly said, Danny.

Danny calling Lizzie the most useless person on the ship made me laugh. She definitely isn’t. 😂

Oh Danny, you'd be really glad if you like the real "Sebastian " so much. The manga makes it clearer but Sebastian doesn't see any of the humans he is around as "people ". The author of Black Butler calls Sebastian a complete self-centered narcissist who thinks of everyone else as grasshoppers. This whole " Butler" thing and him improving his acting skills. Sebastian is not one hell of a butler , he is one hell of an actor. He is so bad at cooking early on because he can't even taste human food. The only thing he can taste is a soul. He doesn't understand empathy, he is merely using his experience with humans in understanding their reaction patterns. He doesn't feel human emotions, he imitates them. The anime kinda messed it up early on but he even enjoys when Ciel suffers, he even enjoys when Ciel makes others suffer. He is a hungry demon who is passing time playing and tormenting his pet lamb while fattening him up for dinner

He finally reacted to it, Lizzy and Undertaker become two of my favorite characters, because of book of Atlantic.

The simping over Sebastian in this video is crazy and im living for it

Ciel is shown a couple times in the anime and regularly in manga to be fearful of Sebastian due to the nature of their contract. In this movie Ciel is genuinely dissociating when Sebastian is killing all the zombie in the cargo hold because it reminds him too much of their initial meeting and first order. It is still left up to interpretation how much Sebastian actually cares about Ciel besides him being his eventual meal. In book of circus we saw him abusing Ciel's order by freeing the snakes early even though he knew Ciel was there. I love how complicated their relationship is!

Grell Sutcliff needs to be in every film, regardless of genre, medium or studio. She just makes everything inherently better

BoA seriously went "hey wanna see us redeem EVERY FUCKIN' CHARACTER?!"

Can't wait to see the moment Danny realizes Elizabeth is not as useless as she seems. Little badass.

"they not going to resolve this Undertaker business?" Boy, you have no idea what he is capable of and what he will do

Am I the only one who always loved Ciel? 😭😭 I never understood it as fragile masculinity, moreso that Ciel feels really bad that he's not as strong as he wants to be and has to rely on other people. Also I feel like Ciel's bratty behaviour makes sense considering he is 12y/o, grew up rich and spoiled, has a very traumatic past, has always had a "weak" body/poor health (ie. His asthma) - so his behaviour kinda makes sense. Obviously he's not perfect, he definitely has his flaws. Idk I just always really liked him as a character. I actually prefer him over Sebastian, which I guess is a really unpopular opinion.

Did he...did he do it? At last?! Oh my god Danny we black butler fans are so thankful

The really darkly funny thing: zombies do not enter the English-speaking world for another 70ish years. They had no idea.

"Most useless person on the ship right now" oh you sweet summer child.

Danny: Are they not going to resolve this Undertaker business? Manga readers: ...how do we tell him?

One of the representatives from the banana fish crowd. We know we're obnoxious. It's okay

"Full speed ahead we don't negotiate with icebergs" had me HOWLING

Fun fact: the Campania actually existed, but the author relies more on the Titanic just for the fun

If I had a nickel for every time Danny thought a girl character in Black Butler was useless just for that girl character to then turn out to be a pro combatant I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice. In all seriousness, YES THANK YOU FOR FINALLY REACTING TO IT!!! This movie is amazing and I love it so much, such an iconic arc of the series and I'm glad it was made justice. I also have to say you're totally right the Mangaka is giving them a change of clothes whenever she can totally on purpose xD

My name is actually Ciel so I’ve been loving watching Dannys reaction to this show. Every time Danny makes fun of Ciel I just bust out laughing

ok so explanation about us bullying you into skipping the end of season 1: it spoiled that UT was a reaper. Like even in real time, the mangaka had mentioned that direction to the anime writers and they released an episode making him a (still silly and goofy) reaper before she even reached the reveal in the manga

The ending of Season 3 isn't supposed to be the start of Ciel's reverse-redemption, it just served as a reminder that he isn't really a good person, he can do good but he can do bad just as easily... It was also a hysterical breakdown (😭)

Scenes I wish had made the cut 1. Sebastian rising out of water, dripping wet 2. Lizzy attacking Grell 3. Sebastian memory, calling ciel his little master walking towards darkness proudly.... 4. Sebastian fighting horde of zombies alone on the Isolated lifeboat with ciel(ciel doesn't count as help, Sebastian leaves him alone for 2 minutes and he gets into life threatening danger. He's useless physically)😂😂😂😂

I screamed ‘Holy Shit’ and clicked on this so fast 🥳

To me, the revelation of Lizzie's true character was the peak moment! I called it way back that there must be something about Lizzie, why she is the Queen's Watchdog's betrothed, and it was so satisfying to finally see her shine! This is one of my favourite Kuro arcs, and _believe_ me, starting from this one it's ridiculously hard to choose! As for Sebastian: he does enjoy the difficulty of being a butler and his and Ciel's back-and-forth, but he is still a demon with a contract for a delicious soul. If he cares for him, then in distinctly non-human way!

Sebastian cares for Ciel the same way a farmer cares for his prize pig; keep it happy and healthy and ensure it's nice and fat for Christmas dinner.

What made Lizzy the way that she is was Victorian Society and it's views of the ideal woman - despite Queen Victoria being the one in charge. And it got reinforced by what that Ciel said back then - that he'd be scared of her if she had any strength. Our Ciel is not that.

39:29 IM DEAD NOT MAHITO'S LINE "you dont need to shout i can hear you just fine ITADORI YUUJI"

The blue tongue has me crying

also fun fact that's never explained super well because the anime Does Not Like to Acknowledge that Lizzie and Ciel are cousins -- Alexis (and Frances) became Ciel's legal guardian(s) upon the death of his parents; should Ciel have not been deemed worthy by the Queen (or should he die) Frances (as Vincent Phantomhive's sister) becomes the watchdog, which is why she's so hard on him; whereas Alexis sees him as a son, not just for being engaged to his daughter; but also for technically being his ward.

The Black Butler reactions honestly came at a perfect time b/c we JUST got a whole new season after uh, 7 years. So now he'll have MORE Black Butler to react to later.

I really hope that one day they do the Emerald Witch arc because in my opinion it'll give you almost all of what your looking for in Sebastian and Ceils characters, in plot while still keeping some of the goofyness.

"did i tor- LEGALLY PURCHASE"

Honestly, the Manga set this up so well. Undertaker is always hanging around, somewhere in the background. You never suspect him, because he is such a silly character, but when the reveal comes, it makes total sense

The slightly chaotic introduction combining Danny's exasperation over Black Butler Fan's feral comments to react to Book of Atlantic + Danny's utter confusion over his blue tongue was unironically hilarious.

The scream I scrumpt as soon as this dropped

The reason why Sebastian has so many Outfits is, that the events of these first minutes actually take several days. It's better explained in the manga. Also the "lobby" they're doing the secret handshake in is not the public ship lobby for everyone but a separate room supposedly filled only with members who know the handshake anyway.

So a bit of a history lesson: Campania WAS actually Titanic's sister ship and WAS closer to the Titanic when it was hit, however they never answered (for known or unknown reasons I forget) so the guys talking about a distress signal from the ship ahead was them getting the Titanic's distress call and getting eaten before they could deliver it.... Altho irl the Campania sunk years later

"Sebastian admitting that he never actually cared for Ciel"... Boy have I got news for you! They're both very much aware of that, don't worry XD

I cackled when Danny said Lizzie was 'the most useless person on the ship right now' b/c I KNEW what was coming. Kinda surprised tho that it took till the Iceberg for him to realize that this was just, Titanic but with zombies. I mean, Blue Star Line, White Star Line, a large luxury passenger cruise ship crossing the Atlantic to New York. In April. At the turn of the century (date's off by about 23 years but w/e). Like yeah, yeah this is BB Titanic lmao

I love that Danny also loved Lizzie FINALLY popping off

Lizzy's family are all super strong because they are knights. Ciel is actually a pretty good marksman, but anime version nerfed him. There is whole chapters about Ciel's relationship with his aunt and uncle/ in-laws. Yeah. Lizzy's mom is his paternal aunt.

Danny having such a dislike for Ciel really shows the tragedy of the in-between chapters of the different arcs not being animated These chapters do so much character work overall but it does wonders for Ciel especially Showing how fond he is of Lizzie, his interactions with Francis (Lizzie's mom), Soma and Agni being around him seemingly all the time in the manga He just comes off as really rough and bratty on missions bc he's genuinely having a horrible time in almost every arc He also keeps people at arms length because a. people tend to get brutally murdered if they stay too close to him and b. he probably won't even live to see his fifteenth birthday by the pace he's trying to get his revenge, so the less people care about him the less they'll have to grieve him once he's dead Anyways I've been checking almost weekly if you finally reacted to this movie so I'm really happy to see it finally here, I was sure you'd enjoy it Hopefully you'll watch season 4 next 🫶

Since Danny mentioned it I feel I should clarify! Those wooden stakes the Undertaker uses are called sotoba. They’re used in traditional Japanese graveyards. They themselves aren’t graves but they’re placed near gravestones. They have engravings on them of prayers and dates of death.

"I love you but shut up." honestly mood.

Attractive Character + Black Butler = ✨️ *VILLANY* ✨️

41:14 "What, is he just gonna toss him-" *split second later* "-oh, he launched him!" 😂

the funny part is if he didn't point out that his tongue was blue I would have absolutely not have noticed

I loved the insight on Sebastian's thoughts toward Ciel, I loved it clearly spelled out that his dedication is always only in indirect service to himself, and not out of genuine affection. The way I've always seen it, it's like when I was a kid and had friends that raised cows and pigs for slaughter. They were fond of the animals, but that didn't prevent them from being eaten. Sebastian at most has that same sort of fondness for Ciel that one might have raising a lamb or a calf to be slaughtered, though it's tempered by the outright contempt he had for Ciel in the beginning.

Public school arc having a bigger budget and a few more new costumes... I HONESTLY CAN'T WAIT FOR HE'S REACTION 😆

Him making Titanic jokes super early, then freaking when he realized it was actually the Titanic 🤣

Yeah, so, it kinda turns out that Lizzy is a prodigy in a family of master swordsmen. Who’d have thunk it?

He been doin stuff with a smurf

The thing is, if ciel gets redeemed before the contract is done, Sebastian will eat him as the contract needs ciel to follow a dark path and be miserable throughout it. If ciel wants to be redeemed and escape the fate of being eaten, he has to find a way to make his contract non applicable. No spoilers here please, for me and if danny sees this

17:29 was a good bit xD "We don't negotiate with icebergs" got me

“The Fool that doesn’t belong to this era; The Mysterious Ruler above the gray fog; The King of Yellow and Black who wields good luck.”

I am a simple creature- I see Danny, I click Danny

The Undertaker eye reveal was the most exciting thing to ever happen in my middle school life

Find someone who looks at you the way Danny looked at that iceberg

19:40 -- it was a titanic parody from the opening shot, bestie

Book of Atlantis is truly my favorite arc. It cemented Undertaker as my favorite character and introduced one of my favorite running jokes, "Can we kill [the viscount] yet?" "No, not yet, but I understand your feelings." I can't wait until Danny gets to the private school arc.

22:51 She's actually been better than her brother at sword fighting since she was like 5, but acts cute because Ciel was afraid of her when he was fresh from his human trafficking cult

15:22 : ''this is the most useless person on the ship right now" me: oh buddy you are in for a hell of a surprise I clicked on this video so damn fast I love Book of Atlantic so much!!! And with the PUBLIC SCHOOL ARC currently airing I am so into it!!

The fact that everything Danny wants happens somehow eventually is crazy he literally makes this happen

FUCK YESSSSS THIS MAKES MY LIFE FINISHED

22:20 in Ciel's defense He wasn't expecting to face a horde of zombies

19:02 Seeing Danny going from excited to see grill to slowly a look a disgust from the innuendo will never not be funny to me That’s a meme worthy face right there

I was absolutely WHEEZING in the first few seconds as Danny discovered his blue tongue LMAO

also the zombie horses are truly never explained

Just wanted to mention: Ciel has cared about Elizabeth since the start, lol. A lot of people aren't so sure on shipping them because of how they're cousins, but they do have a bond and actually quite a good relationship. Also! I'm not quite sure about this myself, but I don't think Sebastian can simply TURN into smoke. It was supposed to be a play with effects and kind of represent the anger of his true inner demon. And! Fun fact, the food Sebastian "made" was actually stuff he just kind of made appear. It's one of his powers but Ciel makes him cook manually all of the food he makes XD Also, Undertaker is still silly and goofy, I promise.

I am crying. It took Danny almost 20 minutes to realise it was a Titanic arc. Also Danny having the absolute hots for Sebastian in this is everything! I am so glad you enjoyed this one!

Oh my God. He simps for Sebastian.... (ONE OF US!!)

0:35 I’m call shenanigans 13:45 again- calling shenanigans 18:49 omg danny 21:43 the cinematic shot Danny think of the shot 22:52 agreed 28:38 SURPRISE

The shift is Sebastian’s VA’s voice is wild. He has such an incredible range. Pretty sure he’s also the VA for Scar in Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.

Lizzie being a badass is SO iconic and is GREAT and took me by surprie too. I too didn't thin too much of her in the anime but seeing her show that she's ACTUALLLY cool and just pretending because she misunderstood ciel made her REALLY cool. Just seeing this little crybaby become stone cold and mrudersome zombies ALONE makes this a worthwhile arc. and yeah we've seen moments that show that ciel at least cares about lizzie despite finding her annoying. She's basically his morality pet, the one thing stopping him going too far across the line.

Just so u know Danny; as someone up to date with the manga, we aren’t even close to the end. You are so many arcs behind and the manga is ongoing lmao

I really love when a show/movie feeds Danny clues to a twist or reveal and he still didnt see it like-- [below are spoilers] the Undertaker being a reaper or when Vaggie was revealed as an exorcist angel. Or when something takes such a left turn and leaves Danny reeling 🤣

It definitely seems to me like eating masters' souls is the epitome of human-demon connection at least to Sebastian. It seems like any fondness he develops is a means of either marinating or savoring his meal. Sebastian gives me the vibe devouring a promised soul wouldn't be an act of a lack of sentiment, but the natural conclusion of him caring about someone. Like "what closer bond could you have with someone than consuming them so they become a part of you" sort of vibe, except literally because it's soul based.

I fully agree with Danny on wanting Sebastian to always be gunning for the soul. I fully agree that at the end of it I want it to end with him eating his soul. I wanted to have that dark ending. I want Sebastian to just be a demon. And honestly, I kinda like the idea of Ciel never being redeemed. That’s not an angle I ever really thought about as I have watched the show. I always kind of viewed that at the end of it Ciel and Sebastian would just have an understanding and be in agreement about his soul. And whether or not they developed a friendship they both knew that that was what they both came for and that’s what they both wanted.

On the behalf of the Black Butler fandom, thank you for finally reacting and truly appreciating this

Remember in S1 when you were expressing concern about Paula being Elizabeth's only bodyguard? Yeah... that's why.

24:32, as someone raised in a tiny town in Oklahoma, near-ish to Muskogee, I am honestly shocked to hear it mentioned.

2:01 I didn’t expect my current obsession to follow me all the way to RU-vid

Seeing danny so excited on the titanic reference made me so happy too 😭😭

"If this ends with Lizzie & Ciel on a door" It's like you've never seen Black Butler before. It would be Ciel & Sebastian on a door. 😂😂😂

Danny ate a smurf that’s why his tongue is blue.

the fact that this isn’t the same ciel from lizzie’s childhood makes me think he’s totally into strong women

I think the problem that Ciel has with Lizzy is that Ciel knows full well that he will never marry her. He has sold his soul to the devil, he will die as soon as his contract is completed. And every moment he is nice to Elizabeth will make that hurt more for her. She also probably reminds him terribly of the way things were before all that awful stuff happened to him, and being kind to her must feel incredibly uncomfortable - because he can't be that boy. That boy died the moment he summoned Sebastian. So he can only protect her as best as he is able to - like with holding off the dolls at the very end. Ciel is sometimes actually cruel, but a lot of the cruel things he says are at least partly an act because he decided that day that he would avenge his family and the boy capable of doing that can't really have actual friends and can't afford to believe in the good in people either. So in that way, Ciel is a foil to Sebastian - mean and unkind because he can't afford the pretense of being otherwise. Because for him, the act would become far too real far too soon. And that would cost him everything.

And now we wait for him to react to the public school arc 😂 Seriously tho, take your time and look after yourself Danny! Always look forward to your next video! EDIT: Also you finding Ronald hot makes me so happy haha, he's one of my favourite characters!

You should totally react to alien stage! It's under 30 minutes. It has such good songs and so many things going on at the same time that I'd consider it reaction-worthy.

That stray Mahito line actually made me sob for a moment. You know what you did, Danny!

I do love that unlike the original anime team, the mangaka remembered the viscount is an actual criminal and awful person and so doesn't try to use goofiness to write off the fact he's a terrible human being who neds to be dealt with, and has him try and hijack the zombies for his own schemes (it jsut doesn't work because he's an idiot)

The dude bro podcast bit is definitely up there with some of your best bits.

17:30 the little boxes looks like a robot. its cute

This movie was pretty good, even to this day it is one of my more favorite anime movies.

I've been sitting on watching both this and Book of Murder for ages myself, but I'm up to date with the manga as it's released in book form in the US, so seeing your reactions, knowing what happens is *chef's kiss*. This also lets me know I need to dust off the DVD player and watch them both (and rewatch Book of Circus, which is currently my favorite animated Black Butler media). I liked Lizzie before this arc, but seeing her here brought her to a whole new level. She and Grell are my favorite characters, and have been for ages. (Maybe that's why I like Niffty so much? She's kind of like if Lizzie and Grell had a weird demon-child) Also, I'm with you on the "Sebastian is doing this for Ciel's nommy, nommy soul and nothing else" train. It would fit the tone of the show, and I think Ciel would expect that, even after everything they've been through together. I don't want season 2 to become official canon - I like it as a "what-if?" style story, but I'm so glad Book of Circus retconned that away. I think I need to go back and rewatch your Black Butler content, having seen this, and currently enjoying the "HelluvaHazbin" content here.

Oh I can't WAIT til the Public School Arc finally drops 😆 Danny is gonna go NUTS with that one

Oh my god is it Christmas? He’s done it!
