Me and my friend noticed some stuff while reading the latest Kuro: Didn’t Soma say he wanted to be Ciel’s Agni? The gun hit his right hand- the hand Agni would keep under bandages. My friend also noticed that the Agni&Soma pair were injured in an eye and a hand, and we have another pair that had marks in the eye and hand, only in Sebastian’s case it’s the left hand, which is poetic- the left hand of the devil, the right hand of God.
Good observations! Soma was indeed shot in the hand.
Agni’s eye was slashed:
I think this was to play off the fact that Prince Soma and Agni were the perfect foils for Ciel and Sebastian. They were another master and butler duo, yet they were almost exact opposites. Soma was trusting, naive, warm, and caring, while Ciel is unable to trust, is bitter, cold, and selfish. Agni was a genuine, kind, humble person, and Sebastian is an egotistical demon who is simply playing a part until he is able to eat Ciel’s soul.
Since they were such opposite mirror images of each other, I wonder if what happened with Soma and Agni is any foreshadowing to what might happen with Ciel and Agni. Only time will tell.
