? Why was this a reply to my topic? I didn't say anything about why Agni was killed, only that Polaris isn't Agni.
May I suggest making your own topic for this?
lmao it was tanaka all along
Is this a research defense?
Research defense? What's that?
I was mainly confused with everyone assuming it was Agni. Besides the fact Polaris doesn't look like him, Agni is dead; there's no way he's coming back. So I did some rereading in the chapters where "a butler" would be present, and I came across this guy. Like I said, there's really nothing but speculation to back it up.
Daaaaamn Tanaka had some work done.
Ah, I realized my comment was incomplete. Hahaha I was just amazed you actually also posted the references to support your theories... like related literature in theses and research papers hahahaha
He's not Agni. That is absolutely for sure. He doesn't look like him, he doesn't have the same fighting style, Agni wouldn't be serving RCiel over OCiel (or either of them over Soma), Agni's body was cremated, and his soul was reaped. He is gone. It is, 100%, NOT Agni.
In fact, it's probably the exact opposite. This is most the likely the guy that KILLED Agni. Agni had the same (or a similar) knife sticking out of his back.
While there's really no evidence to back it up, I think it's this guy:

For one, he does have a similar face shape. Obviously there are no visible defining characteristics of Polaris, but this guy looks more similar to him than Agni did. We know he's a butler, and we know he died. Since he was a head servant of Phantomhive, it would make sense why he'd be extensively loyal to RCiel, especially if he'd be directly serving him as the master someday. Or maybe, as an evolved bizarre doll, his memories have been altered, and he thinks RCiel is Vincent. Either way, he'd be willing to kill for him.
And also this:

RCiel does briefly consider him (Polaris) for the head butler position. It would make sense.
