Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away
[00:17] ---
Our two hearts will never grow apart
[00:24] ---
"Black Butler II"
[00:32] ---
I run up to you from
behind asking questions
[00:35] ---
The reason I never wavered,
no matter what the future looked like
[00:42] ---
Was because I didn't want to
forget what I believed in anymore
[00:48] ---
My habit of averting my eyes, my
vague answers, and my not-funny lies--
[00:56] ---
If you're not by my side,
their very meaning blurs
[01:03] ---
Even if a never-ending
sorrow steals you away
[01:11] ---
Don't forget the days when we
couldn't imagine a true "goodbye"
[01:19] ---
Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away
[01:27] ---
Our two hearts will never grow apart
[02:05] ---
In 2008, the legendary work Black Butler
[02:10] ---
"Black Butler"
[02:11] ---
drew audiences into a whirlpool
of excitement and fanaticism.
[02:34] ---
Its dazzling characters, stylish visuals,
[02:40] ---
impressive action scenes,
and beautiful yet cruel story
[02:45] ---
won it enthusiastic fans and gave
birth to a global social phenomenon.
[03:00] ---
Black Butler.
[03:04] ---
Black Butler.
[03:08] ---
Black Butler.
[03:11] ---
Black Butler.
[03:17] ---
I'm home!
[03:18] ---
Mommy, I'm hungry!
[03:20] ---
Nagayama-en proudly presents
"Black Butler Rice Seasoning."
[03:25] ---
We have curry as well, young master.
[03:28] ---
"And N.Y. Once Again"
[03:37] ---
And now, in 2010, the silence is broken...
[03:43] ---
...and the legend is reborn!
[03:45] ---
Black Butler II is publicly unveiled at last!
[03:52] ---
In this program, I'll be
taking you behind the scenes.
[04:33] ---
I had no interest in doing a sequel.
[04:35] ---
What would be the point of
doing the same thing twice?
[04:40] ---
That's right, my young
master wasn't keen on the idea.
[04:44] ---
He said that sequels
weren't truly creative works.
[04:48] ---
I only went to the studio
[04:50] ---
because I felt it would be rude to
say no without hearing them out first.
[04:54] ---
However...
[04:55] ---
The staff had scripts ready for me.
They asked me to read them.
[04:59] ---
And they said if I turned them down
after that, they would accept defeat.
[05:03] ---
Their eyes were earnest.
[05:16] ---
It was a story worth performing in.
That's all there is to it.
[05:20] ---
Me, Sir? I have no opinions.
[05:23] ---
I only abide by what my
young master has decided.
[05:26] ---
You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
[05:29] ---
They agreed to take part.
[05:31] ---
However, to resurrect the
legend, more help was needed.
[05:36] ---
Yes: the help of the comrades
[05:38] ---
who had created the
original legend along with them.
[05:43] ---
Guuuuuuuuuyyysss!
[05:47] ---
Long time, no see!
[05:49] ---
We came back to Black Butler, yes!
[05:54] ---
"Away on Business"
[05:56] ---
W-W-W-Wonderful!
[05:59] ---
Black Butler is back! It's the
veritable Big Bang of the TV world!
[06:04] ---
And so, let us toast this miracle.
[06:10] ---
A sequel seemed unimaginable, frankly.
[06:13] ---
Right, Ran-Mao?
[06:17] ---
Especially considering
how the original show ended.
[06:18] ---
But that might be exactly why
there's meaning in doing a sequel.
[06:22] ---
Oh? Why?
[06:24] ---
Audiences always want to be surprised.
[06:27] ---
To develop a story out of an ending
like that is the work of a true pro.
[06:30] ---
I look forward to seeing how it turns out.
[06:33] ---
Yes, so do I!
[06:36] ---
So, how did the original one end?
[06:40] ---
I mean, I only watched
the parts I was in, you know?
[06:46] ---
"Green Room"
[06:49] ---
You never change.
[06:54] ---
How could we not be in the sequel?
[06:56] ---
After all, Ciel is like a brother
to me. I have to look after him.
[07:00] ---
I'm counting on you, Agni.
[07:01] ---
Jo ājñā!
[07:03] ---
Though we haven't filmed together yet,
[07:06] ---
I look forward to seeing my friend, too.
[07:49] ---
Don't film me.
[07:56] ---
I don't have my makeup on,
so don't you dare film me!
[07:59] ---
An appealing story needs an appealing rival.
[08:04] ---
These two will be the ones to make
Ciel and Sebastian suffer this time.
[08:10] ---
Yes, I'd seen the original series.
[08:12] ---
The boy I'm playing is out to get Ciel.
[08:15] ---
Well, or maybe Sebastian?
[08:17] ---
Please look forward to
seeing me take down that brat Ciel
[08:20] ---
like the piece of shit he is.
[08:34] ---
I wasn't familiar with it.
[08:36] ---
I don't care about this sort of thing.
[08:40] ---
Whatever. It's my job.
[08:47] ---
Hi there! I'm Thompson!
[08:50] ---
I'm Timber.
[08:52] ---
I'm Canterbury.
[08:55] ---
And as you see, there's no
consistency between them!
[08:58] ---
There's really just one of me.
I'm doing three roles!
[09:01] ---
And I'm only getting paid
as one. But I'll do my best!
[09:07] ---
An interview?
[09:09] ---
I do apologize, but may I have a moment?
[09:13] ---
"Two Months Earlier"
[09:14] ---
"One Week Earlier"
[09:16] ---
"The Previous Night"
One, two...
[09:18] ---
"One Hour Earlier"
[09:20] ---
"On Set"
[09:25] ---
One, two, three...
SIGN "Actions speak louder than words. Actors do not speak; they perform. I respectfully refuse all interviews. --Claude Faustus"
[09:51] ---
The actors have gathered.
Time to begin filming.
[09:54] ---
"First Day of Filming"
[10:09] ---
Okay, we're going to start filming!
[10:12] ---
Ciel Phantomhive as "Ciel" and
Sebastian Michaelis as "Sebastian"!
[10:17] ---
We'll start with your scenes! Get in here!
[10:20] ---
Welcome back!
[10:20] ---
Good to work with you again!
[10:31] ---
If we're going to do this, we're
going to surpass the first season.
[10:33] ---
That's all.
[10:34] ---
Very good, my lord.
[10:41] ---
It's you.
[10:41] ---
I've just been dying to see you!☆
[10:47] ---
So you've been pulling the
strings behind the scenes, Grell?
[10:50] ---
All I've been pulling are the red
threads of fate that bind our hearts!
[10:56] ---
"Finished Video"
[10:56] ---
This isn't the blocking we talked about...
[10:58] ---
"But in reality..."
[11:10] ---
These actually bite into
the skin quite painfully.
[11:21] ---
Rolling!
[11:23] ---
Action!
[11:42] ---
You stay away...
[11:46] ---
...from my Sebas-chan!
[11:52] ---
Cut!
[11:54] ---
Ash. Angela.
[11:57] ---
Those movements were filthy.
[12:00] ---
Let's change the order.
First Claude will come in from the right.
[12:04] ---
That was great, Hannah.
[12:05] ---
Whatever.
[12:10] ---
In the first season we appeared onstage
as well, but we're primarily action directors.
[12:15] ---
I direct the men...
[12:16] ---
...and I direct the women.
[12:20] ---
I also do Sebastian's stunts
in the more dangerous scenes.
[12:24] ---
Likewise, I do stunts for Grell and Hannah.
[12:26] ---
I do the majority of my
scenes myself, however.
[12:30] ---
Even if that's the Phantomfive--
[12:33] ---
Sorry. Give me another shot at it.
[12:35] ---
"Take 2"
[12:35] ---
Even if that's the Hansom--
[12:37] ---
"Take 3"
[12:37] ---
Even if that's the Phantam--
[12:39] ---
Even if that's the Hya--
[12:39] ---
"Take 4"
[12:43] ---
Get it together, you sorry
excuse for an actor!
[12:45] ---
Well, look at that. He's
perfect for the role.
[12:49] ---
--Cheer! Cheer!
--Please calm down, my prince.
[12:51] ---
Phantomhive! Phantomhive!
Phantomhive! Phantomhive!
[12:56] ---
Okay.
[12:57] ---
"Take 5"
[12:57] ---
Even if that's the Phantomhive way,
[13:00] ---
I still believe in Ciel!
[13:01] ---
"He did it!!"
[13:06] ---
Oh, so sorry!
[13:08] ---
You're good. That was superb timing.
[13:10] ---
Filming proceeds peacefully.
[13:13] ---
The teamwork between
the cast and staff is excellent.
[13:18] ---
However, we mustn't get complacent.
[13:20] ---
There is a monster lurking in the wings.
[13:23] ---
The monster called "Accident."
[13:32] ---
Oh, what tragedy!
[13:35] ---
To think that the set would be
destroyed by a torrential downpour!
[13:39] ---
In the face of Mother Nature, human
efforts are fleeting and insubstantial!
[13:44] ---
Yes, this is the modern-day
Mu, the legend of Atlantis!
[13:48] ---
And so, a toast to the
cancellation of filming!
[13:53] ---
This line is entirely unsatisfactory.
[13:56] ---
How are you people
interpreting Claude's character?
[14:00] ---
We need to meet with the screenwriter and--
[14:05] ---
What do you think you're filming?
[14:16] ---
Call for an ambulance!
[14:17] ---
Over here! Hurry up!
[14:19] ---
Hey, turn that off! Get out of here, you cad!
[14:22] ---
It's comforting to think that my
young master wasn't hurt, at least.
[14:25] ---
That day, Sebastian fractured
bones in his right ankle: a serious injury.
[14:34] ---
However...
[14:36] ---
He returned to the set the very next day,
[14:38] ---
and kept the injury a
secret until filming wrapped.
[14:42] ---
A Phantomhive butler who can't
do that much isn't worth his salt.
[14:47] ---
Home shopping with the
Grim Reaper Cultural Center.
[14:52] ---
Today we're presenting a
super-high-performance pruning hook.
[14:57] ---
It can reach any plant, no
matter how high up or far away.
[15:03] ---
It can cut down a hundred people.
[15:06] ---
It telescopes at the touch
of a button for easy storage.
[15:09] ---
If you order now, we'll throw
in this lawn mower for free.
[15:12] ---
"Recommended by Ronald"
[15:13] ---
The number is 444-444-444.
[15:16] ---
Yes, the "fatal fours." Call now.
[15:19] ---
We'll also provide a receipt.
[15:23] ---
It's Charge! Lizzie's

I'm Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford.
[15:29] ---
"Camerawork by Elizabeth"
[15:31] ---
Call me "Lizzie"!
[15:33] ---
Today I'm going to take you
behind the scenes of the show's filming!
[15:40] ---
You're breaking my concentration. Go away.
[15:43] ---
Oh, not that old excuse again!
[15:48] ---
Randall to the death.☆
[15:51] ---
And here, as you can see, we have snacks!
[15:55] ---
He really loves his snacks. How cute!
[16:00] ---
What?
[16:01] ---
It's Marmite!
[16:03] ---
I'm obsessed with the
stuff lately. I eat a jar a day!
[16:09] ---
Before that it was vegetable
juice, wasn't it?
[16:12] ---
So, Lau, what are you doing over there?
[16:15] ---
Oh, he's always like that.
[16:19] ---
Enjoy.
[16:21] ---
This is great! Soma and
Agni brought home-made curry!
[16:25] ---
Agni poured his heart into
making this curry. Savor it!
[16:29] ---
Okay!
[16:31] ---
Sebastian!
[16:33] ---
Happy birthday!
[16:39] ---
I'm Thompson! Have some cake!
[16:41] ---
They insisted we celebrate. I had no choice.
[16:44] ---
You'd better be grateful!
[16:46] ---
This is...
[16:47] ---
Well, I'll be.
[16:48] ---
"Happy Birthday Tianseba"
[16:48] ---
Happy birthday!
[16:51] ---
Why does that A.D., Edward or
whoever, act like such a big shot?
[16:56] ---
I hear he comes from a noble family.
[17:01] ---
Hey, this is good.
[17:03] ---
Oh, I'll have some, too!
[17:05] ---
You can't, no!
[17:05] ---
The camerawoman has to do her job.
[17:07] ---
What?! But I want cake!
[17:11] ---
And now we'll visit the ladies!
[17:16] ---
Strip.
[17:17] ---
"Self-Imposed Broadcast Restrictions"
"Please enjoy with sound only for the time being."
[17:17] ---
I'll change my own clothes, yes!
[17:21] ---
First up is Ran-Mao!
[17:27] ---
We're taping this, Father!
[17:30] ---
Amazing!
[17:32] ---
Don't worry, you look adorable!
[17:36] ---
Okay, next up is Mey-Rin!
[17:43] ---
Now just look at this, Father!
[17:49] ---
Cute, cute, cute!
[17:53] ---
"Lovely Fortunetelling"
"Today your luck is... BAD"
[17:56] ---
What?
[17:57] ---
N-N-Nothing!
[18:00] ---
This is the CG studio.
[18:05] ---
We're creating the CG for the train now.
[18:12] ---
Hey, wait... aren't you...?
[18:16] ---
Abberline, the director wants you.
[18:19] ---
Coming! All right, I'll see you later.
[18:25] ---
God, this is trash.
[18:30] ---
Oh, dear, I didn't know
the camera was rolling!
[18:35] ---
I'll give this show my all.
[18:36] ---
Oh, Grell!
[18:39] ---
I told you... don't film me
when I don't have my makeup on!
[18:51] ---
So we sang for ourselves...
the theme song for Black Butler II.
[18:55] ---
So I composed it for myself...
[18:57] ---
I got a mental image of it through
talking with Ciel and Sebastian.
[19:01] ---
The result was a great song.
[19:05] ---
We are not a "visual-kei" band!
[19:07] ---
We're "Dro & Cell"!
[19:08] ---
There's nobody else in this
world with a sound like Dro & Cell's.
[19:11] ---
We're Dro & Cell, and Dro & Cell is us,
and the Dro & Cell sound is our sound!
[19:17] ---
So I say to him, "Pluto, stop it!"
[19:20] ---
No, boy! Bad boy! No, bo--!
[19:26] ---
No, boy! Bad boy! Okay, boy!
[19:30] ---
Good boy! Good boy! No, boy!
[19:33] ---
Bad boy! Okay, boy! Good boy! No, boy!
[19:38] ---
Bad boy! Okay, boy!
[19:45] ---
The actors and the staff...
[19:52] ---
...bring all of their combined
passion and skill to bear.
[19:56] ---
It's the long-awaited new series
that will go out to the whole world!
[19:59] ---
A legend is about to awaken!
[20:03] ---
Alois Trancy, a mysterious
boy who appears before Ciel,
[20:08] ---
and Claude, his butler.
[20:11] ---
Who are they?
[20:14] ---
What is Sebastian after?
[20:16] ---
And what in the world happened to Ciel?
[20:22] ---
The plot just keeps thickening, yes!
[20:24] ---
I'm a moron, so I don't really get it.
[20:26] ---
Ditto!
[20:27] ---
I fully believe you'll all
be satisfied with the series.
[20:32] ---
I don't make mistakes.
[20:35] ---
The story accelerates faster and faster.
[20:57] ---
You're pathetic, Ciel Phantomhive.
[21:00] ---
Who are you?!
[21:07] ---
Please be all right, Ciel!
[21:38] ---
Intense action!
[21:42] ---
C-Ciel...
[21:44] ---
Lizzie!
[21:46] ---
The looming terror of death!
[21:50] ---
I didn't want to fight you.
[21:54] ---
I don't care about laughter anymore.
[22:01] ---
A fated showdown!
[22:19] ---
A loss of innocence...
[22:23] ---
Young master...
[22:25] ---
And--
[22:32] ---
London faces crisis once again!
[22:42] ---
Haven't you ever wondered
about your family's destiny?
[22:47] ---
About your family's secrets?
[22:49] ---
Secrets, you say?
[22:58] ---
I won't let you have the Queen's black tears.
[23:01] ---
Isn't that right, Ran-Mao?
[23:03] ---
What's the meaning of this?!
[23:05] ---
My real name is Vincent Phantomhive.
[23:08] ---
I am your father.
[23:11] ---
Dad, stop!
[23:14] ---
If... If you're going to kill
my brother Ciel, kill me too!
[23:19] ---
I refuse to allow my son and
grandson to fight a death match!
[23:24] ---
Mey-Rin? Father?!
[23:27] ---
I've been looking for you.
[23:29] ---
I'm glad I finally get
to see you, little brother.
[23:32] ---
Big brother!
[23:35] ---
Do you remember this?
[23:40] ---
That's my dead mother's pendant!
[23:42] ---
Does that mean you... No! It's not true!
[23:45] ---
When this battle is over,
let's go back to our homeland.
[23:49] ---
We'll see the sparkling
Ganges again together!
[23:52] ---
My prince...
[24:06] ---
I came here from the
future. The 23rd century.
[24:10] ---
Sebastian Michaelis, I am your
and Ciel's... your and Ciel's...
[24:17] ---
It's all right. I know he'll come back.
[24:22] ---
After all, I'm carrying his...
[24:24] ---
Day into night, tranquility into the
maelstrom of war, and the moon into Earth.
[24:36] ---
This is what makes a Trancy butler.
[24:38] ---
Go, moon! Turn the Earth
into a world of darkness!
[24:46] ---
We must not allow any more
young lives to be sacrificed.
[24:58] ---
It seems the time has come for us to go.
[25:03] ---
We shall give our lives for their future!
[25:28] ---
Game-changing humanoid weapon
designed to protect the capital...
[25:34] ---
Launch!
[25:51] ---
Deploy QV Field at maximum!
[25:55] ---
Engines at full power. We'll thrust
it right out of the solar system.
[26:02] ---
I leave the rest to you, butler.
[26:16] ---
I wasn't able to serve you to the
end as I vowed. Please forgive me...
[26:27] ---
...my young master.
[26:32] ---
Sebastian!
[26:42] ---
"Black Butler II"
[26:50] ---
"We made that up. We're sorry."
[26:53] ---
"We're putting all we've
got into producing it."
[27:08] ---
Asleep, you look so sad
[27:15] ---
You look as though
you're having bad dreams
[27:22] ---
How do I live without you?
[27:28] ---
Lock me up, and only me
[27:35] ---
Within the sky of yourself
[27:42] ---
I mourn that I can't go in search
[27:49] ---
Of that blue sky I once saw
[27:56] ---
But everyone is in the sky
[28:03] ---
In the cage of freedom
[28:10] ---
In a starless night sky
[28:17] ---
Unable to see where I'm going... I wander
