Grell's Black Butler By: Randomgirl156. Another string of murders similar to the Jack the Ripper case are occurring, and at the request of the Queen, Ciel orders Sebastian to investigate. 'Jack The Ripper Strikes Again' read the newspaper. Ciel angrily threw the newspaper down. 'So it wasn't the Viscount after all,' Madam Red stated, disappointment laced in her voice. Sebastian replied, a finger under his chin,' I was sure it was him.' I nodded in agreement, upset that the killer is still on the loose. 'How strange,' Lau commented, side glancing.

Hello Anime Animo! I've got some information I'd like to share with you all...
Oct 03, 2008 Sebastian is particularly good at his job, able to carry out any task Ciel demands, because he is not only a butler - he is a demon. Opening theme (1 - The Japanese animated series The Black Butler is based on a popular manga and tells the story of Sebastian Michaels, butler to Ciel, the 12-year-old head of the Phantomhive noble family.
Some of you may remember, during the first Season of black butler Earl Ciel Phantomhive and his butler are forced to pursue the case of Jack The Ripper, the infamous murderer who would gruesomely mutilate his victims, toward the end of the case, it is revealed that Jack The Ripper, was none other than Madame Red, along side the help of Grell Sutcliff!
Now! The reason this particular case is of such interest to me is because it supports TWO of the theories of Jack the Ripper, the infamous Whitechapel murderer!
Theory one being: The Jealous nurse theory.
As shown in the Anime, Madame Red's motive for murder stemmed from an accident which left her infertile.
Madam Red had always wanted a child, this was clear to see, and working in her clinic, and when women such as Mary Kelly, had come to reveal that they had wished to have a child removed, Madam Red could not help but feel envy, for women such as her were so eager to throw away what she would kill to have.
This is a liable theory, as Jack the Ripper is often believed to have worked in a medical profession, or had at least known of the human anatomy in great detail, due to the fact that the 'Scotland Yard' had described the clean incisions that had been made from the tools, not only were the cuts clean, But the Uterus was extracted cleanly every time, showing that whomever was committing these murders also had detailed knowledge of the whereabouts of a women's reproductive system.
Not only does this suggest the means that the Murderer has available (Medical experience, Tools) but also the motive, Jealousy.
Theory 2:
Now I'm aware this theory will require a little more background information, so I'll fill you in.
Jack The Ripper Biography
Above is a timeline which shows the names and dates of the victims murdered, it is notable that two of the victims were actually murdered within the same night, according to the records of Scotland Yard, police had already been patrolling these areas, so it would have been highly unlikely for Jack The Ripper to have snuck through undetected, wouldn't it have been far easier if there had been a second Ripper?
When I first watched this arc of black butler, I was quite baffled, i enjoy reading and viewing Jack The Ripper films and evidence, as I had once studied this case in depth!
That means that yes! Characters such as Aberline and Mary Kelly were actual, real people!
And for this last part of the blog! (WARNING: IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF BLOOD AND GORE DO NOT SCROLL DOWN)
You remember the final victim in the case, right? Mary Kelly?
The Black Butler Sebastian
Do you recall the scene where Ciel gets a glimpse of her corpse? And Sebastian covers his eyes, yet Ciel still ends of throwing up?
Mary Jane Kelly was the last, and most heavily mutilated victims, as she was murdered indoors, and Jack The Ripper had as much time to tamper with her corpse as he/she desired, her body was unrecognisable....so when Ciel opened the door and saw Mary Kelly's corpse...what he saw, was this....
Now you can't blame him for vomiting, can you?
Anywho! I hope you enjoyed the blog! If there is any questions you have, leave them in the comments below!
