[00:18] ---
My word!
[00:19] ---
Her Majesty Queen Victoria,
mother of England,
[00:23] ---
has favored us with her honored presence!
[00:29] ---
It's Her Majesty...
[00:31] ---
I can't believe she really came!
[00:33] ---
She seems to have lost
quite a bit of weight...
[00:37] ---

[01:18] ---
Her Majesty bids me tell you,
[01:20] ---
"I apologize for my inability
to appear before you for so long.
[01:24] ---
However, I am now in such perfect health
[01:27] ---
that I may even enjoy curry again.
[01:29] ---
My late husband Albert was
very fond of curry as well.
[01:34] ---
I look forward to examining
the fruits of your labors."
[01:40] ---
And with that, allez cuisine!
[01:51] ---
"Black Butler"
[01:57] ---
Since then, I've actually
come to like the night somewhat
[02:04] ---
In a sea of dependence,
I forget even to breathe
[02:09] ---
When I'm right on the verge
of losing my head over you
[02:12] ---
You just leave me lukewarm
[02:16] ---
The aesthetic of leave-taking
despises a self-satisfied kiss
[02:24] ---
Don't leave me alone, show me
compassion, paint me with death
[02:30] ---
In your room, all words slip away
[02:36] ---
I want to end like this, cloaked
[02:42] ---
But the night ignores that
wish and brings morning
[02:49] ---
With your gentle,
passionate, and dastardly kiss
[02:56] ---
Paint this final night
[02:59] ---
The moon illuminates us
[03:14] ---
"His Butler, Competing"
[03:24] ---
So it's started?
[03:29] ---
What are you, stupid?
[03:33] ---
Prince Soma, my god...
[03:38] ---
I'll use my power for your sake!
[03:44] ---
By Jove! That Indian's right hand
is like an independent creature!
[03:48] ---
And what a lovely smell!
[03:51] ---
This is the Godly Right Hand of Kali!
[03:54] ---
I should win handily--
[03:59] ---
Funtom is amazing, too!
[04:01] ---
And the smell is just as good!
[04:03] ---
That blasted butler...
[04:06] ---
I say, what is he doing?!
[04:10] ---
Don't tell me that's...
[04:13] ---
...chocolate?!
[04:15] ---
Chocolate in curry?
[04:16] ---
What is he thinking?
[04:18] ---
Revolting!
[04:21] ---
Just what I'd expect from
Funtom, the confectionery!
[04:23] ---
What unconventional publicity!
[04:27] ---
No, that's a legitimate seasoning.
[04:32] ---
The blend of cacao, oil, milk, and
sugar provides aroma and bitterness,
[04:36] ---
and gives it a mellow, full-bodied flavor!
[04:42] ---
Where did an Englishman
like you get such an idea?
[04:47] ---
My master ordered me to do it.
[04:51] ---
Drop it in the curry or something.
[04:53] ---
I carry out my master's orders,
[04:55] ---
no matter how unreasonable they may be.
[04:59] ---
You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
[05:03] ---
It's all in the phrasing, eh?
[05:05] ---
Was that supposed to be sarcasm?
[05:15] ---
What a bond between master and servant...
[05:21] ---
Your Highness, I see you
truly won't forgive me.
[05:25] ---
But that's precisely why I must not lose!
[05:30] ---
What's that?!
[05:32] ---
A blue lobster?
[05:34] ---
Homard bleu!
[05:36] ---
It's the legendary blue
lobster said to only exist
[05:39] ---
in the clear seas of Brittany!
[05:41] ---
Encased in a shell whose
brilliance rivals even Chartres Blue,
[05:45] ---
it is like a beautiful lady in a blue dress!
[05:49] ---
And the body beneath that dress
[05:51] ---
is known to mesmerize people
with its fine and delicate sweetness!
[05:55] ---
Did you see that? Mine is
truly the choicest brand of curry!
[05:59] ---
Cheap, unorthodox flavorings pose no threat!
[06:03] ---
Sebastian, I shall devote
everything I have to defeating you!
[06:19] ---
Your time is up!
[06:21] ---
And now for the judging.
[06:23] ---
First we have Parson Tubb
& Company's beef curry!
[06:27] ---
The beef is cut thickly
and portioned generously.
[06:31] ---
Quite a sumptuous recipe.
[06:33] ---
However, this dull flavor and aroma...
[06:37] ---
The idea of a professional chef
using curry powder is outrageous!
[06:44] ---
I take it Dhol & Company
blends its own spices?
[06:47] ---
Y-Yes, my lord!
[06:49] ---
Hmm... There's one particularly
magnificent scent...
[06:55] ---
Still, it's unbalanced overall,
[06:58] ---
so that nice scent is standing out too much.
[07:00] ---
Well, we'll give them credit for effort.
[07:03] ---
Next up is Chef Agni from
Harold West & Company!
[07:06] ---
This is my curry.
[07:09] ---
A thali of seven types of
curry with blue lobster.
[07:13] ---
What vivid colors!
[07:17] ---
S-Splendid! A tender and chewy texture,
[07:20] ---
and a delicate sweetness
that spreads on the tongue!
[07:23] ---
And seven different curries,
[07:25] ---
all of them beautifully
complementing the lobster!
[07:29] ---
This is a beauteous woman I met at a ball!
[07:34] ---
The seven jewels adorning
your refined, exquisite form!
[07:38] ---
The gold brooch in the shape of a dove!
[07:40] ---
The sapphire and pearl bracelet!
[07:42] ---
The garnet choker!
[07:43] ---
The cameo!
[07:45] ---
And on your finger, the
diamond and emerald ring!
[07:49] ---
They all accentuate your natural beauty!
[07:52] ---
You... stole my heart!
[07:58] ---
Such high praise!
[08:00] ---
Is victory assured?!
[08:03] ---
Or can our final contestant
garner even higher praise?!
[08:07] ---
This is Funtom Company!
[08:13] ---
This is my curry.
[08:16] ---
I-It's...!
[08:22] ---
What are you playing at?!
[08:27] ---
H-He fried it!
[08:29] ---
What are you doing, Sebastian?!
[08:31] ---
Are you trying to make doughnuts?!
[08:34] ---
They're finished. This
is Funtom Company curry.
[08:38] ---
I see no curry!
[08:40] ---
Wait!
[08:41] ---
It's...
[08:46] ---
What?!
[08:47] ---
There's curry on the inside...
[08:50] ---
What?!
[08:52] ---
This is the curry Funtom is proud to present.
[08:55] ---
We call it... the "curry bun"!
[08:59] ---
C-Curry bun?!
[09:06] ---
Great Scott...
[09:08] ---
It's wonderful!
[09:10] ---
The crunchy-yet-fluffy fried bread
covering and the juicy curry inside
[09:13] ---
give this magnificent gradations of texture!
[09:16] ---
What's most impressive
[09:18] ---
is this structure which locks
in the curry's scent and flavor!
[09:21] ---
The moment I cut it open,
everything blossoms forth!
[09:27] ---
This is a lovely young
maiden I met at a soirée!
[09:31] ---
By day, you're a playful
robin childishly twittering!
[09:35] ---
But when night falls, you let
me glimpse your true face,
[09:38] ---
and I see a lady in her own right!
[09:41] ---
I... want to hold you in my arms!
[09:50] ---
More high praise!
[09:52] ---
Is the outcome of this battle in doubt?!
[09:55] ---
Sebastian, are you...
[10:03] ---
We'll now leave our judges
time to deliberate.
[10:06] ---
In the meantime, feel free
to try any curry you like!
[10:16] ---
I notice Her Majesty didn't eat.
[10:19] ---
She's not going to examine the recipes?
[10:21] ---
I imagine she avoided it to spare her health.
[10:24] ---
But it's possible she'll sample
the ones she finds interesting.
[10:28] ---
And that would change
the judges' impressions.
[10:32] ---
It's up to the Queen who
gets the Royal Warrant.
[10:50] ---
My company's curry is far
and away the most popular!
[10:54] ---
Don't let your guard down.
They also seem to fancy Sebastian's.
[11:02] ---
No need to be concerned.
[11:05] ---
Right, darling?
[11:09] ---
Mina! What are you doing here?!
[11:11] ---
What if His Highness sees you?!
[11:13] ---
He's already seen me.
[11:15] ---
Already? Don't tell me you...
[11:24] ---
Agni...
[11:26] ---
You knew about Mina,
so you tried to keep us from meeting.
[11:31] ---
What's the meaning of this?
[11:33] ---
Your butler is fighting, and you
run away and refuse to watch?
[11:38] ---
That's not it. I've been
thinking over what I've done.
[11:41] ---
I didn't know anything.
[11:43] ---
No, I didn't try to know anything.
[11:46] ---
Not how Mina felt, or how Agni felt.
[11:51] ---
If you understand that,
why are you just standing here?
[11:56] ---
You ought to think about
[11:57] ---
what a master owes to a
butler who's fought for him.
[12:02] ---
Ciel...
[12:06] ---
Oh, there he is! Your Highness!
[12:09] ---
The curry sampling has started already, yes!
[12:12] ---
If you don't hurry, you'll miss it!
[12:14] ---
Here.
[12:18] ---
That's good!
[12:20] ---
Your khansama's curry buns taste so kind.
[12:28] ---
How could you?!
[12:30] ---
The prince cared so much for you,
and you seemed to truly enjoy yourself!
[12:35] ---
You would never understand.
[12:38] ---
Not you-- a Brahmin who gave up
all his privilege to be some khansama!
[12:42] ---
What did I do all this for, then?
[12:46] ---
Why should I care?
[12:50] ---
That's right, I'm going
to move up in the world.
[12:53] ---
I'll use men, and anything else I have to.
[13:11] ---
Sebastian, chef of Funtom Company.
[13:13] ---
Her Majesty desires a curry bun.
[13:16] ---
Would you be so kind as to bring one here?
[13:23] ---
Please accept this, Your Majesty.
[13:38] ---
Her Majesty bids me tell you,
"You were considerate enough
[13:42] ---
to make this easy for even a child
to eat, requiring no knife or fork.
[13:45] ---
Treating all equally, rich
and poor, adult and child,
[13:50] ---
it embodies the ideal I strive for:
a kind and noble country."
[13:54] ---
Her Majesty is deeply moved
by your kind attitude
[13:59] ---
in treasuring our children... our future.
[14:01] ---
Don't make me laugh!
[14:03] ---
How you flatter yourselves!
[14:06] ---
Equality? The future?
[14:08] ---
The queen of a wealthy country like
this who's never done any hard work
[14:11] ---
has no place saying that!
[14:14] ---
Mina, stop!
[14:16] ---
You're in front of Her Majesty!
[14:18] ---
Out of my way!
[14:21] ---
Restrain her!
[14:23] ---
Shut your trap! The important
thing about curry is how spicy it is!
[14:32] ---
Her legs move with such grace...
[14:34] ---
her hips tilt invitingly!
[14:36] ---
She is the goddess Kali personified!
[14:48] ---
The Queen!
[14:56] ---
I smell it... I smell it!
[14:58] ---
Hatred and greed!
[15:01] ---
The stench of the impure!
[15:03] ---
Snuff out the unclean!
[15:11] ---
Do you intend to play the asura
mowed down by Kali, my lord?
[15:15] ---
It's a demon's job to be
the severed head Kali carries.
[15:21] ---
Sebastian, disprove the legends.
[15:24] ---
Stop Kali!
[15:26] ---
Yes, my lord.
[15:29] ---
What happened?
[15:30] ---
A-An Indian woman suddenly went berserk!
[15:34] ---
What?
[15:39] ---
This is...
[15:44] ---
You're skilled.
[15:46] ---
I can see why you're called the
goddess who mows down demons.
[15:49] ---
Mina...
[15:50] ---
My prince!
[15:51] ---
Agni...
[15:52] ---
I am... I am a French chef!
[15:56] ---
I'm not good with spicy foods!
[15:59] ---
Pardon me.
[16:00] ---
Agni, what happened here?
[16:03] ---
I'm not sure.
[16:05] ---
Mina and some of the audience
ate that curry and suddenly...
[16:14] ---
Kali Ma!
[16:16] ---
My father told me about it once.
[16:18] ---
It's a forbidden spice which reacts
to the darkness in human hearts,
[16:22] ---
to greed and uncleanness, and
turns people into fiends.
[16:28] ---
Mina... I never knew your
heart was so wounded!
[16:33] ---
It's not your fault, my prince.
[16:35] ---
If she was possessed by the evil spice...
[16:38] ---
I know.
[16:40] ---
Don't finish that sentence.
[16:42] ---
I've always blamed others for everything:
[16:45] ---
my loneliness, Mina leaving...
[16:49] ---
Of course no one would love a brat like that.
[16:52] ---
But you stayed by my side
even when I didn't deserve it.
[16:58] ---
I'm sorry for not realizing
the truth until now.
[17:02] ---
Will you still be my khansama?
[17:06] ---
Your Highness...
[17:11] ---
Stop Mina, Agni!
[17:14] ---
Jo ājñā!
[17:17] ---
Have I ever felt this full of emotion before?
[17:21] ---
I have just become one with my god!
[17:29] ---
I shall assist you!
[17:31] ---
Ah, I see you've powered up even more.
[17:34] ---
Did something happen?
[17:36] ---
Yes! Right now... I am invincible!
[17:41] ---
I'll leave the two on the right to you, then.
[17:44] ---
Understood!
[17:50] ---
You have a fine butler.
[17:52] ---
It seems my services won't be needed.
[17:56] ---
But don't you think it's a bit odd?
[17:59] ---
If this is all due to a spice,
[18:01] ---
why are only certain people affected?
[18:04] ---
If the prince is right, I would think
far more people would go berserk.
[18:09] ---
After all, in this world there is
no one with a truly pure heart,
[18:12] ---
no one who is perfect...
[18:26] ---
Wait, Mina!
[18:28] ---
You fool!
[18:30] ---
This is the only way to calm Kali!
[18:33] ---
Come at me, Mina!
[18:38] ---
Prince Soma!
[18:41] ---
Mina, forgive me!
[18:46] ---
Sebastian, the curry buns!
[18:49] ---
Feed them your curry buns!
[18:51] ---
Certainly.
[18:54] ---
Kind curry made by a demon...
[18:57] ---
An utterly vile joke. How very like him.
[19:02] ---
But if he chose to put kindness into them,
[19:06] ---
its power should be absolute.
[19:10] ---
Eat this!
[19:20] ---
What's happening?!
[19:25] ---
M-Mina?
[19:27] ---
Soma... I was right.
[19:29] ---
You're horrible...
[19:35] ---
Her Majesty bids me tell you,
[19:38] ---
"These curry buns full of kindness
[19:40] ---
defeated the demon spice and even
healed those who had become devils.
[19:44] ---
The winner of the Royal Warrant is decided."
[19:57] ---
How will they be handled?
[19:59] ---
I do not believe they will be treated badly.
[20:02] ---
Lord Phantomhive, I congratulate
you on your remarkable work today
[20:06] ---
and on obtaining a Royal Warrant.
[20:10] ---
Her Majesty has expressed her gratitude.
[20:14] ---
She bids me tell you,
"I apologize for causing you trouble.
[20:18] ---
I have been watching your work closely.
[20:20] ---
I am in the light, and you are in the shadow.
[20:24] ---
Though our positions are different,
I trust we wish for the same thing."
[20:27] ---
Please continue to aid Her Majesty.
[20:32] ---
Yes.
[20:35] ---
Goodbye, then.
[20:40] ---
Thank you, Ciel.
[20:43] ---
If I had never met you,
I'd still be an ignorant, selfish brat.
[20:50] ---
Starting today, I'll learn many things
[20:53] ---
and tour all England-- no, all the world,
[20:56] ---
until I become a man second to none!
[20:59] ---
Sebastian, your household
has taught us many things.
[21:05] ---
I don't know how to thank you.
[21:08] ---
Please, raise your head.
[21:10] ---
I merely fought for my own reasons.
[21:13] ---
There is nothing you need to thank me for.
[21:16] ---
The gods you believe in, Kali and Shiva,
[21:19] ---
were able to realize their mistakes
through their mutual pain.
[21:22] ---
Just like the two of you now.
[21:24] ---
And you know what they
say: "No pain, no gain."
[21:30] ---
I'm ashamed to have to relearn
my country's teachings
[21:34] ---
from an Englishman...
[21:37] ---
Nationality is irrelevant.
[21:39] ---
All places, all times,
are essentially the same.
[21:43] ---
And so is human nature.
[21:46] ---
Yes. Just as the evening
sun over the Ganges River
[21:50] ---
and the evening sun over the
Thames are equally beautiful.
[22:05] ---
Mina! Mina!
[22:08] ---
Mina!
[22:09] ---
Let me go!
[22:13] ---
I'm very glad I came to England.
[22:15] ---
--My prince and I both met ideal friends.
[22:16] ---
--Mina...
[22:20] ---
"Friends"...?
[22:23] ---
You're the first person to ever
say something like that to me.
[22:28] ---
Stop it! You're getting my clothes wet!
[22:49] ---
The moonlight that reveals
sorrow was coldly illuminating
[22:56] ---
The despair and the future
which grew intimate in the dark
[23:06] ---
With the secret you gave me as my guide
[23:13] ---
I move through the blue night's stillness
[23:20] ---
Lacrimosa, I want to love once again
[23:27] ---
The dazzling world that
crumbled and vanished in the distance
[23:35] ---
I'll hide my dreams within my eyes
[23:42] ---
Until the tears fall on my sullied heart
[24:04] ---
Are you certain, young master?
[24:07] ---
You don't mind my waiting on other masters?
[24:11] ---
Are you able to change your own clothes?
[24:14] ---
Don't forget to brush your back teeth.
[24:17] ---
Oh, yes, and you must not on
any account throw a tantrum
[24:22] ---
if you can't get to the commode at night.
[24:25] ---
Next time on Black Butler: "His Butler,
In an Isolated Castle."
[24:26] ---
"Next Time" "His Butler,
In an Isolated Castle"
[24:29] ---
You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
