Black Butler (manga)/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 120:

* [[Kindhearted Cat Lover|Affably Evil Cat Lover]]

* [[Always Save the Girl|Always Save The Kid]]

* [[Ambiguously Bi]]: To the fans he is either this, or [[Ambiguously Gay]], but he did {{spoiler|have sex with Matilda and it is ''heavily'' implied that he did the same with Beast}}.

* [[Ambiguously Evil]]: Sure, he's a bad guy now, but who's to say that he's not bad simply because that's what Ciel needs?

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Surprised this isn't here yet, but, uh...

** Exhibit A. Stilettos.

** Exhibit B. The way he stands and walks, particularly prominent in the first couple of volumes.

** Exhibit C. Doesn't he say he finds Ash more attractive than Angela?

** And, of course, {{spoiler|fighting with Claude over Ciel, which leads to both Alois and Grell implying that he's in love with Ciel. Sebastian doesn't deny it, and, in fact, agrees while fighting Claude in episode 10 that he's not fighting for just Ciel's soul...}}

*** Most of these traits are ''especially'' apparent in the anime. It's far more ambiguous in the manga.

** Let's not forget the episode where Sebastian tries to teach Ciel to dance...

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type V in the anime, [[Villain Protagonist]] in the manga.

* [[Antiquated Linguistics]]: More obvious in the original Japanese than the English versions.

Line 134:

** Also, some variation of, "If I didn't/wasn't (insert task here), then what kind of butler would I be?"

** "A butler who couldn't (insert highly improbable situation here) isn't worth his salt."

⚫

* [[The Charmer]]: The sex god trope listed above why he fits this trope also

* [[Cheshire Cat Grin]]: Occasionally.

* {{spoiler|[[Coitus Ensues]]: Happens in both the anime and the manga, though in the former it was so out of the blue that it left most fans [[Flat What|baffled]].}}

Line 160:

Line 152:

* [[Genius Bruiser]]

* [[Gentleman Snarker]]: Especially apparent with his first interaction with [[Ms. Fanservice|Beast]], which almost borders themes of [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]].

* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: When he is letting his demonic side closer to the surface.

* [[Gratuitous English]]: "Yes, my lord."

* [[Hellish Pupils]]: Occasionally.

Line 172:

Line 165:

* [[Odd Couple]]: With Ciel.

* [[Offhand Backhand]]: Gave us a pretty epic one to a zombie while soaking wet on a sinking ship...[http://www.kuroshitsujimanga.com/img/Kuroshitsuji/56/24.jpg no, seriously.]

* [[The Omniscient]]

* [[The Omniscient]]: At least early on.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Among the servants of Phantomhive, Sebastian is the only one that can actually get things done.

* [[The Proud Elite]]: Suave but aloof, this demon turned butler is quite intelligent and there is very little he cannot do. Being a demon, he truly does care nothing for humans beyond their use as tools and food.

Line 185:

Line 178:

* [[Sexy Discretion Shot]]: At the end of the first anime when he leans into Ciel {{spoiler|to devour his soul. It looks as though soul-devouring requires some mouth action, but the scene just fades before he gets too close}}.

** Also, his {{spoiler|sex scenes with Beast in the manga and Matilda in the anime}}.

* [[A Sinister Clue]]

* [[Slasher Smile]]: Occasionally.

* [[Snark to Snark Combat]]/[[Volleying Insults]]: With Claude in the second season of the anime. Their interactions usually include backhanded "compliments" and snarking about the other's butler aesthetics.

* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]: He fits this trope to a T.

⚫

* [[The Charmer]]: The sex god trope listed above why he fits this trope also

* [[The Coats Are Off]]: He removes his tailcoat in his fight with Grell, and that's when things ''really'' get down.

* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: When partnered with Ciel.
