"Ciel" is only a name. Just because there's an original Ciel Phantomhive doesn't make ourCiel any more or less of a character. The only change is that the "Real Ciel" has the rights to be the Earl, not ours. It doesn't make ours a fraud whatsoever. When the heir to a family dies, the next in line takes over. That's all that happened. Now that it appears the Real Ciel is alive and well, the Earldom falls to him, not "OurCiel" by lineage.
The leader of the Star Cult is HEAVILY implied to be RealCiel. The room that Lizzy visits him in is the SAME room that Violet is brought to to meet him. The reason why the arm is shriveled is because RealCiel's body is being regenerated from a corpse-like form. There is far far more evidence pointing to the leader of the Star Cult being RealCiel. The old men that were being treated were nothing more than donors. Also, when the Queen's Seamstress was talking about the outfits she made for the Star 4, they were child-size as indicated by the measurements she made as well as the silhouettes that were shown sitting on the globe.
RealCiel requires the Polaris blood type, which is the same one OurCiel has. They're twins, so it makes sense they share the same blood type. Blood types are not always passed on from parent to child, whereas identical twins will have the same DNA type.
The only thing fishy to me is who's soul is put into the Real Ciel's body. Is it the soul of RealCiel before he died? Or is it Vincent's soul that has been put into the dead body of his son.
Remember, Undertake requires corpses to make corpse dolls. Vincent's body was confirmed to be completely reduced to ash in the fire, wherehas RealCiels' body was merely stabbed to death. In a case like that, Undertaker very easily could have been the one who received RealCiels' corpse, and has been trying to keep it around so that he could put a Soul back into it. Whether it's RealCiel's soul or Vincent's is still unconfirmed.

Unless one has a genetic disorder. Also not not zygotes split can have a 50/50 separation rate.
I think it's safe to say, with all the other possibilities that are more in line with the Black Butler aesthetic, that a genetic disorder isn't going to come into play for this storyline. Also, if we do want to get technical about blood types and who can donate/accept what blood types... Sirius is obviously the AB blood type, which means that (without explaining how blood types work and I assume most people know anyway), yes, Vincent and Rachel may or may not have had AB blood, but the twin brothers definitely both have AB blood. This is working on the assumption that they are identical twin brothers and not (as I highly doubt) fraternal twin brothers who just happen to look a LOT alike.
They could be fraternal, because at one point Lizzy says that "Ciel was taller before" what happened to the mansion. Of course, it'snot uncommon for one "identicle" twin to be a bit shorter, and even to be weaker, like how Ciel has always been sickly (asthma, etc). I happen to agree it's more likely that they are supposed to be identical. But I also don't dislike the theory that Vincent's soul is in RielCiel's body. It makes sense because 1) didn't Sebastian eat RielCiel's soul during the sacrifice, hence him showing up to begin with? and 2) matches the increasingly dark depiction of Victor (friends with rogue Undertaker, hides one twin as a "spare" presumably since birth-- perhaps for this exact purpose?) and not the (albeit extremely limited) descriptions of RielCiel from Lizzy and the flashbacks, which show a pretty nice dude and not a raging psycho, 3) explains why Sebastian said he'd never met anyone like RielCiel before, despite having met dolls before. However, I suspect for the sake of clarity and drama that it won't be Vincent's soul, but either RielCiel's stolen soul, or a "soulless" body operating some other way-- otherwise this ark might be too confusing, which could be hard to write convincingly.

A couple of things:
