so i didn't see anyone talking about it (but i'm sure i'm not the only one who noticed it)
i don't think yana killed snake. first of all when grell is introduced as the grim reaper it is said "dead gods can use cinematic record to relive te memories of those on the to-die list, for assessment. what kind of person is he? what kind of life had he led? whether to let him live on? or to kill him?". so they can choose to let a person live however we've never seen them using this power. usually when we see a grim reaper with a person's card, they have already stamped "completed" on it. (chapters 35, 53, 102, 105, 128 and probably many more). there is at least one time we didn't see the stamp but it was during the luxury liner arc and we've got like hundreds of people killed and showed at the same time so i'd say it's an exception. however with snake there's no stamp saying "completed". we have a sound for stamping but don't see it directly so who knows, maybe they have a stamp with "in progress" or "brought back" or something similar. yana loves to foreshadow us and you really need to reread the series to catch most of it. e.g. every time ciel mentions being ciel phantomhive, the earl of phantomhive, sebastian makes a face suggesting there's something we don't know. so in conclusion i hope i'm not being delulu and we will see snake making a comeback one day.
Snake died tho, have you forgotten that the grim reapers in this manga can know when someone had died? They collect their souls and say when they died which is what that grim reaper did when Snake got killed and there is no way that he could’ve survived that, I liked Snake a lot too but we all just have to accept that he’s gone and never coming back
but it doesn't make sense to me to have him come back as a bizzare doll. grim reapers keep talking how much work they have because of them. why would they let snake die and leave his body with a literal bizzare doll that is his friend? it'd be obvious she's going to have him resurected and the grim reapers will have to "kill him" again. also they captured or killed other bizzare dolls they encountered so they should take care of doll on the spot.
Thank you for noticing this! I've also been very suspicious about the stamp hovering and never showing the result, so I always imagined that they'd bring snake back as someone worthy of saving. I didn't think anyone would notice because most people have forgotten about the ova episodes, so honestly I thought I was being delusional and remembering it wrong myself









chapter 43: "you want to do a rape play?" "yes" [...] "so do you want to do the rape play now?"
chapter 44: *is a rape play*
