[00:53] ---
    My master signed a contract with me
[00:55] ---
    while in control of
    Ciel Phantomhive's body.
[01:01] ---
    Alas, Ciel Phantomhive's soul...
[01:03] ---
    will not see the light of day...
[01:07] ---
    until my master's soul is
    released as the contract stipulates.
[01:23] ---
    What are the details of the contract?
    What are Alois Trancy's wishes?
[01:27] ---
    It's a secret between my master and I.
[01:31] ---
    How cocky.
[01:32] ---
    But I will tell you this.
[01:36] ---
    My master's wishes
[01:38] ---
    include for one of you to
    end your life as a demon.
[01:44] ---
    When one of you wins
[01:46] ---
    and the contract between
    my master and I is fulfilled,
[01:51] ---
    Ciel Phantomhive's soul
    will be released by my master.
[01:56] ---
    After that...
[01:57] ---
    Hannah... If we strangle you to death...
[02:01] ---
    My viscera will glow in noble blue...
[02:05] ---
    and Ciel Phantomhive will come back to life.
[02:07] ---
    "Black Butler"
[02:15] ---
    This island of death,
    a sanctuary for demons...
[02:19] ---
    It seems that your rage caused you
[02:21] ---
    to do quite a number on it...
    Sebastian Michaelis...
[02:24] ---
    Hannah... you brought us here.
    Does that mean...
[02:29] ---
    What you two will carry out here
    is a formal duel between demons.
[02:35] ---
    How stupid...
[02:39] ---
    A duel between demons?
[02:41] ---
    Funny, isn't it? To see two
    grown men so desperate...
[02:46] ---
    Alois...
[02:50] ---
    When my wishes come true,
[02:51] ---
    I'll die for real and
    have Hannah eat my soul.
[02:55] ---
    Then I'll return this body to you.
[02:58] ---
    This body, huh...?
[03:00] ---
    I did a terrible thing to you, Ciel.
[03:02] ---
    But you're loved by
    both Sebastian and Claude.
[03:06] ---
    So it was punishment for
    having such a blessed life.
[03:08] ---
    Love? How distasteful...
[03:10] ---
    What?
[03:11] ---
    You don't understand Sebastian...
[03:14] ---
    how he'll act when he learns
    the details of the contract...
[03:42] ---
    There is no attack that
    can fatally wound a demon.
[03:47] ---
    However, a wound caused by
    a demon's sword will never heal.
[03:53] ---
    And...
[03:55] ---
    a soul pierced by a demon's
    sword will come to a complete end.
[04:02] ---
    Come now...!
[04:05] ---
    Using a single sword...
[04:07] ---
    A fight over a single soul...
[04:15] ---
    I'm the one who'll sink his teeth
    into the soul of the young master!
[04:28] ---
    Sharply... Deeply...!
[04:30] ---
    I'll tear it apart!
[04:39] ---
    A small space like this
    hinders my ability to move around.
[04:42] ---
    So I will tear apart...
[04:45] ---
    this island of death!
[04:49] ---
    What?!
[04:55] ---
    Master!
[05:02] ---
    Sebastian Michaelis!
[05:26] ---
    That sword is...!
[05:27] ---
    That soul is...!
[05:30] ---
    Mine!
[05:41] ---
    It's started raining.
[05:46] ---
    I've already achieved my revenge.
[05:49] ---
    After that, I existed
[05:51] ---
    solely for the purpose of
    being devoured by Sebastian.
[05:54] ---
    But your plan was ruined because of the
    contract signed between Hannah and I.
[06:04] ---
    What a pitiful demon,
[06:07] ---
    fighting completely unaware like this.
[06:12] ---
    He's fighting not knowing
    that even if he wins...
[06:26] ---
    ...his reward will be...
[06:47] ---
    Now you can no longer
    tear the young master apart.
[06:52] ---
    The young master's... soul...
[06:57] ---
    This death that I greet as the fight over
    the young master's sweet soul ends...
[07:04] ---
    still gives off a rich
    fragrance even as I wither away...
[07:09] ---
    The young master's soul?
    Don't make me laugh.
[07:13] ---
    You've been trifled with
    by the soul of Alois Trancy
[07:16] ---
    and you'll die as he intended.
[07:19] ---
    You’ve been under that
    boy’s control to the very end.
[07:23] ---
    Alois Trancy...
[07:29] ---
    My glasses...
[07:30] ---
    What?
[07:32] ---
    I have a spare pair in my breast pocket.
[07:45] ---
    A long, long, idle life as a demon...
[07:50] ---
    If Alois Trancy has created a stir in it...
[07:53] ---
    his soul might've been
    worth tearing apart as well.
[08:03] ---
    I'm impressed that you're so
    talkative with a fatal wound like this.
[08:09] ---
    Yes... But my end is about to come.
[08:14] ---
    Well then, let us have your last words.
[08:17] ---
    Yes...
[08:21] ---
    Passion into insincerity,
[08:23] ---
    lies into truth,
[08:26] ---
    and a stray dog into an earl.
[08:28] ---
    That's what makes a...
[08:32] ---
    ...butler...
[08:47] ---
    Whose butler did you die as, Claude?
[08:52] ---
    Claude!
[08:54] ---
    It's over.
[08:57] ---
    Yes... it’s over.
[09:00] ---
    Are you satisfied?
[09:02] ---
    I don’t know. I can’t
    really tell anymore.
[09:05] ---
    But...
[09:07] ---
    But?
[09:08] ---
    That's fine with me.
[09:26] ---
    Now, Sebastian!
    The truth is right in front of you.
[09:30] ---
    What will you do when
    you learn everything?
[09:38] ---
    Our happiness has come.
[09:43] ---
    Oh... Master...!
[09:45] ---
    Claude acknowledged you.
[09:48] ---
    Hannah...
[09:51] ---
    The contract between my
    master and I is now fulfilled.
[09:54] ---
    All you have to do now is to kill me.
[09:57] ---
    Your young master
    will get his body back.
[10:02] ---
    However...
[10:04] ---
    even if he gets his body back,
[10:06] ---
    Ciel Phantomhive will be as
    good as a dead person to you.
[10:11] ---
    Our happiness now
    comes to a conclusion.
[10:15] ---
    Ciel Phantomhive is...
[10:41] ---
    Contract?
[10:45] ---
    What do you wish, Master?
[10:47] ---
    Claude's love...?
[10:49] ---
    Or would you rather tear off his
    limbs and force him to serve you?
[10:54] ---
    They're approaching.
[10:57] ---
    Yes, in pursuit of
    Ciel Phantomhive's soul.
[11:02] ---
    I've decided.
[11:05] ---
    What I wish for in making
    a contract with you is...
[11:09] ---
    that neither of them will get Ciel's soul.
[11:14] ---
    Murder, then?
[11:16] ---
    No, that won't do.
[11:19] ---
    I saw Claude's love right in front of me,
[11:22] ---
    but it eluded me.
    I want them to feel that...
[11:27] ---
    To me, my young master
    is as good as a dead person.

[11:32] ---
    What that means is...
[11:38] ---
    Jim Macken. Luka Macken.
[11:43] ---
    Claude Faustus.
[11:45] ---
    Hannah Annafellows.
[11:56] ---
    The love amongst the four of us
    will achieve eternal enlightenment.
[12:10] ---
    Luka... We finally meet, Luka!
[12:13] ---
    Brother!
[12:14] ---
    We're gonna stay together forever!
    Hannah and Claude are with us, too!
[12:19] ---
    Yep! I don't feel lonely anymore!
[12:22] ---
    That's right. We're not lonely anymore!
[12:26] ---
    Everyone, everything, is happy!
[12:33] ---
    Young master...
[12:36] ---
    Young master...!
[12:39] ---
    Although I'm a demon,
[12:40] ---
    I served the young master even
    though it meant becoming a lowly butler.

[12:43] ---
    Those days...
[12:46] ---
    Thank you very much
    for waiting, young master.
[12:54] ---
    Are you insane?
[12:55] ---
    Whatever do you mean?
[12:59] ---
    It seems that you skillfully
    made it look like real food,
[13:02] ---
    but while it is quite colorful,
    it has very little taste.
[13:05] ---
    I apologize. I'll bring
    something different right away.
[13:08] ---
    You signed a contract with me.
[13:11] ---
    If you're a butler,
    fulfill your duty as a butler.
[13:15] ---
    Yes, my lord.
[13:20] ---
    Damn demon...
[13:26] ---
    Yes... I'm a demon.
[13:29] ---
    How could I understand
    the taste of human food?

[13:33] ---
    The only taste I can understand is...
[13:37] ---
    the taste of human souls.
[14:12] ---
    Good morning, young master.
[14:59] ---
    Would you prefer to make it tighter?
[15:04] ---
    No.
[15:22] ---
    Today's tea is New Moon Drop.
[15:30] ---
    What's my schedule like today?
[15:36] ---
    Completely open.
[15:41] ---
    It smells good.
[15:57] ---
    Come in.
[15:59] ---
    Y-Young master!
[16:01] ---
    Lady Elizabeth is here, yes...
[16:04] ---
    All right.
[16:13] ---
    Young master...
[16:15] ---
    I'll decide today's schedule myself.
[16:25] ---
    Both of you, please
    attend the young master.
[16:27] ---
    Make sure not to be
    impolite to Lady Elizabeth.
[16:30] ---
    Where are you going, Sebastian?
[16:33] ---
    I'm off to take care of some business.
[16:35] ---
    Some business? Hey, Sebastian!
[16:39] ---
    Ciel!
[16:41] ---
    I-I can't breathe!
[16:43] ---
    I missed you! I've had
    "Ciel deficiency" all this time!
[16:47] ---
    Ah! Oh no! What's with
    that outfit?! It's not cute!
[16:52] ---
    Such a plain outfit
    doesn't look good on you.
[16:55] ---
    I suppose not...
[16:57] ---
    Maybe I'll change... just like that day.
[17:00] ---
    "Just like that day"? Ciel...
[17:03] ---
    Are you possibly saying...
[17:05] ---
    Will you dance with me, my lady?
[17:09] ---
    My pleasure!
[17:17] ---
    Say, Ciel, what did
    you do with your ring?
[17:32] ---
    This music sounds
    unpleasant somehow.
[17:35] ---
    So the gramophone has broken...
[17:37] ---
    Say...
[17:38] ---
    What's the matter?
[17:41] ---
    Nothing.
[17:53] ---
    Oh, hey, butler. It's been a while.
[17:56] ---
    Hello. I'm glad to
    see you in good health.
[17:59] ---
    Yeah, all thanks to
    you letting me get away.
[18:02] ---
    Well, I went along with your transparent
    acting in return, so we're even, right?
[18:06] ---
    Yes. I appreciate it.
    This is a token of our gratitude.
[18:12] ---
    Ran-Mao.
[18:14] ---
    My young master will be away from
    London for a while. So he sent me here
[18:17] ---
    to say goodbye.
[18:19] ---
    I see. I'll miss him.
[18:21] ---
    And here's his message for you.
[18:25] ---
    "I thought about killing you,
    but it was too much of a bother.
[18:29] ---
    Live as you please... however,
[18:32] ---
    make sure you keep out of my sights."
[18:34] ---
    Oh? So his memory came back, eh?
[18:38] ---
    That's a happy ending,
    don't you think Ran-Mao?
[18:41] ---
    So, he's leaving London.
    Where's he going?
[18:51] ---
    With cold tears filling your eyes
[18:57] ---
    When the time is ripe
[19:02] ---
    You shall cut through the
    darkness in search of the light

[19:13] ---
    Farewell
[19:16] ---
    Because you and I can never meet again
[19:21] ---
    What took you so long, Sebastian?
[19:24] ---
    I apologize. We can leave now.
[19:26] ---
    Young master...
    A-Are you really leaving?
[19:30] ---
    Do what you want with this mansion.
[19:31] ---
    You can use it, or you can even burn it.
[19:36] ---
    W-We can't do that!
[19:38] ---
    Why not?
[19:39] ---
    Because... this place is filled with
    our memories with you, young master!
[19:43] ---
    Memories don't mean anything.
    I proved that, didn't I?
[19:47] ---
    That's not true, young master!
[19:49] ---
    Past the darkness where the moon sets
[19:54] ---
    Is the narrow road
[20:06] ---
    Back to the source
[20:17] ---
    I was looking forward
    to seeing what you'd do
[20:20] ---
    when their contract was fulfilled.
[20:24] ---
    That was quite funny, Sebastian.
[20:28] ---
    I didn't think you'd try to kill me.
[20:33] ---
    When your revenge was achieved,
    you were going to give me your soul.
[20:38] ---
    That is why I've served you as a butler.
[20:43] ---
    But I'm still alive.
[20:51] ---
    Yes, you are alive...
[20:54] ---
    not as a human...
[20:58] ---
    but as a demon.
[21:02] ---
    On that day, Alois Trancy signed
    a contract with Hannah Annafellows.
[21:07] ---
    As the contract with
    my master stipulates,
[21:10] ---
    Ciel Phantomhive will
    come back to life as a demon.
[21:16] ---
    That's exactly why...
[21:26] ---
    What a greeting you gave me.
[21:28] ---
    You tried to kill me before
    I awakened as a demon?
[21:33] ---
    No. I felt I had to ascertain whether
    you had truly awakened as a demon.
[21:40] ---
    I see. You wanted to
    grasp the situation accurately.
[21:45] ---
    You made the right choice as a butler.
[21:51] ---
    I shall never be able to devour your soul.
[21:56] ---
    Yes. And...
[21:59] ---
    I gave you the order
    in that rose labyrinth...
[22:10] ---
    ...to remain my butler forever.
[22:16] ---
    Indeed. Since I responded
    "yes" to that order...
[22:21] ---
    even if I can't devour your soul...
[22:24] ---
    I am merely one hell of a butler...
[22:29] ---
    ...for a fellow fiend of hell.
[23:06] ---
    Where shall we go?
[23:09] ---
    I don't care where.
[23:12] ---
    The place we will end up treats both
    humans and demons the same anyway.
[23:26] ---
    I feel good...
[23:28] ---
    as if I've been released from a
    spell I was under for a long time...
[23:32] ---
    Yes. In return...
[23:35] ---
    I was put under an eternal spell.
[23:39] ---
    You're my butler.
[23:42] ---
    I'm your butler...
[23:44] ---
    ...forever.
[23:46] ---
    From here on, as before,
    you have only one answer.
[23:51] ---
    You know it, don't you?
[23:57] ---
    Yes, my lord.
