Was Karin's character influenced by this Black Butler character ?

I remember Grell to be one of the first villains like the first real villain[/S[ONT]
But yeah you are right on this one the second volume was released in June 2007. Not sure when Karin appear on the manga. Do you have a legit date ?

Did you watch the anime or read the manga too?

They are vastly different after all. As for Karin, there are YT vids of the manga scans that date back to March 2007.

Good good.

Anyway, here's Grell's first appearance in the manga:

This is chapter 6 and since it's a monthly release and started in September 2006, that makes this chapter the March 2007 release, which suspiciously coincides with the fact that Karin was also starting to appear in March 2007.

The manga chapter comes out before the volume, but if Grell's chapter did come out b4 Karin that would be cutting things REALLY close. Kishimoto has to think of these things in advance

Yeah in first appearance he was acting like a useless servant then he revealed his crazy character.
Thanks for providing this btw

I see. Well their similarities are really close appearance wise and in character. If you read or watch Kuroshitsuji you'll see . Look at this , one of Grell funny moments where Sebastian tricks him. Couldn't find sub from youtube so bear the dub :p

If Grell was a thirsty little b**ch who wanted to suck a mans d in the middle of a war, then I agree.

Karin is normal compared to Grell. And Grell is a homosexual male

It's weird that even 'Sebastian' looks like Sasuke.

I don't think so, Karin is a fairly typical tsundere, while Grell is just crazy. I mean, Karin doesn't flirt with Sasuke while trying to kill him :p
