What's up with the Black Butler intermissions? Today I decided to carry on watching Black Butler since I had only watched the first episode a couple months ago and then stopped watching. (so fairly new to the series) but I noticed that every time there was an intermission or brief break in between the episode, it always seem to feature either Ceil or Sebastian next to what I think is a tarot card?




I don't mind spoilers just so you know and maybe I am a bit slow, but is there a relationship or connection between the cards and how they always pop up in intermission to the storyline etc?

Edit: I just realised that I had been watching Black Butler II and not Black Butler I which would probably be why I was confused.
I'm late to this, whoops.

But the tarot cards, I assume, are just a foreshadowing of the uprising events.
If the Death tarot card appears: what happens in the episode?
Well, obviously, death. Either, on Ciel's side or the opponent of Ciel.

Some other cards are harder to explain but you could search up "insert tarot card here" on Google and then find the meaning there. 

Sorry if this wasn't much help. I tried!
