[00:20] ---
    Here you are.
[00:21] ---
    Thank you.
[00:23] ---
    Agni's curry bread is very nutritious.
[00:26] ---
    You'll smile when you eat it!
[00:30] ---
    It's piping hot!
[00:31] ---
    Thank you.
[00:34] ---
    You?!
[00:36] ---
    Sebastian?
[00:39] ---
    It's so good!
[00:45] ---
    Is that true?
[00:46] ---
    Ciel has... lost his memories?!
[00:55] ---
    Tell me that even if a
    never-ending sorrow steals you away

[01:03] ---
    Our two hearts will never grow apart
[01:10] ---
    "Black Butler II"
[01:18] ---
    I run up to you from
    behind asking questions

[01:21] ---
    The reason I never wavered,
    no matter what the future looked like

[01:28] ---
    Was because I didn't want to
    forget what I believed in anymore

[01:34] ---
    My habit of averting my eyes, my
    vague answers, and my not-funny lies--

[01:42] ---
    If you're not by my side,
    their very meaning blurs

[01:50] ---
    Even if a never-ending
    sorrow steals you away

[01:57] ---
    Don't forget the days when we
    couldn't imagine a true "goodbye"

[02:05] ---
    Tell me that even if a
    never-ending sorrow steals you away

[02:13] ---
    Our two hearts will never grow apart
[02:24] ---
    "Trancy"... Just who is he?
[02:28] ---
    And Ciel's really coming as well?
[02:30] ---
    Yes.
[02:33] ---
    I've tried to visit Ciel
    so many times since then.
[02:37] ---
    But...
[02:38] ---
    Sebastian said that Lord
    Phantomhive would be suspicious
[02:42] ---
    if you met with him
    in an unnatural setting.
[02:46] ---
    That day, Ciel's khansama said
[02:50] ---
    that Ciel has no memory of the
    recent past, starting when we met.
[02:54] ---
    And he said that to
    keep from hurting Ciel,
[02:58] ---
    he wants us to act as if nothing's
    happened until the memories come back.
[03:01] ---
    He said he'd made the same request
    to everyone else who knows Ciel.
[03:20] ---
    "Even if I'm plunged
    to the depths of despair,
[03:23] ---
    if there's a spider's thread
    there that I can crawl up,
[03:25] ---
    I'll take hold of it without giving up.
[03:27] ---
    We humans have the strength for that."
[03:30] ---
    Ciel said that to me.
[03:32] ---
    Your Highness...
[03:33] ---
    I won't give up!
[03:35] ---
    I'll play this part perfectly for Ciel!
[03:38] ---
    Don't you dare let him
    catch on. Got it, Agni?
[03:42] ---
    Jo ājñā.
[03:45] ---
    "Beacon Butler"
[03:51] ---
    Ball, ball, ball!
[03:55] ---
    Tonight we're going to a costume ball!
[03:58] ---
    I'm looking forward to it, yes!
[04:00] ---
    Yeah, he's even letting us servants
    come as long as we wear costumes!
[04:04] ---
    Now that's a nice fellow for you.
    Hmm... what's his name, again?
[04:08] ---
    Tr... Tr... Trumpet?
[04:10] ---
    It's "Lord Trancy," yes!
[04:15] ---
    Alois Trancy...
[04:17] ---
    You say the previous Earl
    Trancy died three years ago?
[04:21] ---
    Yes.
[04:24] ---
    Three years ago...
[04:26] ---
    Father! Mother!
[04:32] ---
    Stop it!
[04:35] ---
    Alois went missing after he was
    kidnapped when he was very young.
[04:40] ---
    But he came back just
    before his father passed away.
[04:43] ---
    Along with a mysterious butler...
[04:46] ---
    Isn't that right?
[04:48] ---
    Yes, my lord. The story
    seems familiar somehow.
[04:53] ---
    It's a common one.
[05:04] ---
    Right, then. We'll be
    coming in the back way.
[05:06] ---
    See you later, young master!
[05:08] ---
    Look forward to seeing our costumes!
[05:24] ---
    The Right Honorable Ciel,
    Earl Phantomhive, I presume?
[05:27] ---
    We've been expecting you.
[05:29] ---
    I am Claude Faustus,
    the butler of this house.
[05:36] ---
    Please come in.
[05:41] ---
    What is it?
[05:44] ---
    Ah, yes.
[05:46] ---
    The Trancy coat of arms bears a spider,
[05:49] ---
    so it's our tradition not to kill them.
[05:51] ---
    That makes sense.
[05:52] ---
    If you try to force it away,
    it will cling to you for life.
[05:59] ---
    This way, please.
[06:23] ---
    Young master, what's the matter?
[06:26] ---
    It's nothing!
[06:29] ---
    Might my butler come along?
[06:30] ---
    Of course.
[06:32] ---
    Come on.
[06:33] ---
    Certainly.
[06:33] ---
    I'm sorry, but I'm afraid my master
[06:35] ---
    is currently away on business.
[06:37] ---
    He'll return in time for the ball.
[06:40] ---
    I see.
[06:41] ---
    I've laid out tea in the drawing room.
[06:44] ---
    Everyone else is already there.
[06:47] ---
    "Everyone else"?
[06:49] ---
    Ciel!
[06:52] ---
    Elizabeth?!
[06:54] ---
    Honestly! It's "Lizzie."
[06:56] ---
    You're late, my lord.
[06:59] ---
    Lau!
[07:01] ---
    So you two were invited as well?
[07:03] ---
    Which means...
[07:06] ---
    What is it?
[07:07] ---
    Nothing. I thought Madam Red
    might be here too, but I don't see her.
[07:12] ---
    I'd have thought she wouldn't
    miss this for the world...
[07:16] ---
    Oh, well, you see--
[07:19] ---
    Please calm down, Lady Elizabeth.
[07:21] ---
    Ciel!
[07:24] ---
    Oh, my.
[07:27] ---
    Ciel! Ciel!
[07:29] ---
    Who in blazes are you?! Let me go!
[07:31] ---
    Who am I?! You mean you... you...
[07:37] ---
    I told you, let me go!
[07:39] ---
    Is that...
[07:41] ---
    Yes, that's Prince Soma.
[07:43] ---
    He'll ruin everything!
[07:45] ---
    Not to worry, my lady.
    Prince Soma has him.
[07:49] ---
    You mustn't do that, Your Highness!
[07:51] ---
    No! Ciel! Ciel!
[07:54] ---
    Who is that man?
[08:00] ---
    My apologies, my lord.
[08:02] ---
    This is the 26th child of the king of Bengal,
[08:06] ---
    Prince Soma Asman Kadar.
[08:08] ---
    And why would that "prince" start
    weeping the moment he saw me?
[08:11] ---
    Ciel!
[08:13] ---
    I-I finally got to see you, but you're...
[08:16] ---
    His Highness is deeply moved at meeting
    the founder of the Funtom Company.
[08:19] ---
    Funtom toys are considered very rare
    and wonderful where we come from.
[08:23] ---
    Our memories will never fade!
[08:26] ---
    Those toys hold precious
    memories of the prince and his friend.
[08:30] ---
    No matter what happens, the
    friendship between the two of us will--
[08:33] ---
    That friend was very
    dear to His Highness.
[08:37] ---
    But he... he... Oh, it's heartbreaking!
[08:42] ---
    My prince!
[08:44] ---
    Agni!
[08:49] ---
    I fear we can do nothing with them.
[08:51] ---
    Young master, let's retire to our
    rooms. We must prepare for the ball.
[08:55] ---
    Come, now.
[08:59] ---
    Ciel! Ciel!
[09:06] ---
    What queer people.
[09:08] ---
    Foreigners are a bit baffling, aren't they?
[09:27] ---
    Sebastian, search this mansion
    from top to bottom, understood?
[09:31] ---
    Very good.
[09:42] ---
    Shit.
[09:44] ---
    And this is shit. This one's shit, too!
[09:46] ---
    And this!
[09:54] ---
    This is shit of the highest grade!
[10:03] ---
    Where is he?
[10:04] ---
    He has arrived.
[10:07] ---
    I was choosing a costume.
[10:09] ---
    You wear one too, Claude.
    How about something like this?
[10:16] ---
    Olé!
[10:27] ---
    All the costumes you
    brought me are bloody useless!
[10:31] ---
    Strip, Hannah.
[11:14] ---
    I assume you're ready, Claude?
[11:17] ---
    Certainly. I transform day
    into night, pleasure into pain,
[11:20] ---
    and waltzes into requiems.
[11:22] ---
    That's what makes a Trancy butler.
[11:26] ---
    I'll show you a good
    time, Ciel Phantomhive.
[11:46] ---
    Ciel!
[11:47] ---
    You wear one of these, too.
[11:50] ---
    Fine.
[11:54] ---
    Now we match!
[12:04] ---
    Jingle, jingle!
[12:05] ---
    You're not wearing a
    costume, Your Highness?
[12:09] ---
    This is my Sherlock Holmes costume.
[12:12] ---
    Young master!
[12:14] ---
    We're the Three Musketeers
    of Chinese monsters!
[12:17] ---
    Magic monkey!
[12:18] ---
    Let's go, Gandhara, yes!
[12:21] ---
    We had a costume made
    for you too, young master!
[12:23] ---
    Ta-da!
[12:29] ---
    Rejected.
[12:33] ---
    At least wear this part!
[12:35] ---
    Tonight's party is shaping up to be
    very entertaining, isn't it, Ran-Mao?
[12:50] ---
    This is a marvelous room.
[12:52] ---
    Everything is perfect, from
    the precision of the bedclothes
[12:54] ---
    to the cleaning and
    even the desk drawers.
[12:58] ---
    I sense the special care for your
    guest that you must have taken.
[13:01] ---
    It's been very educational for me.
[13:03] ---
    How nice.
[13:04] ---
    I'm more impressed by the passion
[13:06] ---
    that prompts you to stoop to
    petty thievery in service to your duty.
[13:10] ---
    You flatter me.
[13:17] ---
    I won't let you have my young master.
[13:19] ---
    You see, I am his butler
    come hell or high water.
[13:23] ---
    The master's orders are absolute.
[13:25] ---
    I'm one hell of a butler too, you know.
[13:31] ---
    Pardon me.
[13:40] ---
    Maybe we should help out, too?
[13:44] ---
    I agree, yes!
[13:46] ---
    We'll show them all what the
    Phantomhive servants are made of!
[13:50] ---
    Yeah!
[13:56] ---
    I-I was just chopping up the food...
[14:03] ---
    I was just trying to carry the box!
[14:31] ---
    Sorry.
[14:33] ---
    Th-They're good!
[14:35] ---
    Oh, wow!
[14:39] ---
    Thank you, yes...
[14:42] ---
    Are you all right?
[14:47] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[14:48] ---
    It's nothing. Don't worry about it.
[14:50] ---
    No, it would be horrible
    if your costume stained.
[14:56] ---
    Come, this way.
[15:10] ---
    I'm finished.
[15:18] ---
    I say!
[15:23] ---
    A lovely blue.
[15:25] ---
    I wonder if your soul turns
    this color when you die?
[15:29] ---
    What?
[15:33] ---
    That same color.
[15:35] ---
    That same color as your ring.
[15:39] ---
    What are you on about?
[15:41] ---
    I wonder: if I could become one with you,
[15:46] ---
    would I be able to have this blue?
[15:55] ---
    Your eye is impure.
[16:14] ---
    Honestly, there's just
    nothing to be done with you!
[16:16] ---
    S-Sorry...
[16:18] ---
    We repent, yes.
[16:20] ---
    My prince.
[16:23] ---
    It's finished, then, Watson?
[16:25] ---
    "Watson"?
[16:26] ---
    Yes.
[16:31] ---
    Well, if it isn't curry bread.
[16:33] ---
    Where did they come from?
[16:35] ---
    I borrowed the house's
    kitchen to make them.
[16:37] ---
    Ciel's memory might come
    back if he eats some of these.
[16:42] ---
    That was my thought.
[16:44] ---
    We'll help!
[16:45] ---
    We want to show him lots of fun,
    and get him to remember old times, yes!
[16:50] ---
    Yes.
[16:50] ---
    Yup!
[16:51] ---
    It seems everyone feels the same.
[16:56] ---
    Wait, the earl has amnesia?
[16:59] ---
    Really? Since when?
[17:01] ---
    You didn't know?
[17:04] ---
    I wonder where Ciel went...
[17:18] ---
    What? I know this mansion?
[17:21] ---
    No, that doesn't make sense...
[17:45] ---
    --Sebastian?
    -- "New Moon Drop"...
[17:47] ---
    People say that tea leaves
    plucked on the night of the full moon

[17:51] ---
    have a clear, sweet smell,
[17:52] ---
    but these are the opposite:
    tea leaves plucked at new moon.

[17:56] ---
    They give off an indistinct scent...
[18:09] ---
    It's otherwise known as
    "the soul's temperature."
[18:14] ---
    Sebastian!
[18:21] ---
    Not yet.
[18:23] ---
    It's all right; I promise to
    show it to you. But first...
[18:31] ---
    Give me that trunk, Sebastian Michaelis!
[18:57] ---
    Don't kill him! You mustn't kill him!
[19:00] ---
    Catch him, Claude!
[19:04] ---
    Ciel Phantomhive?
[19:08] ---
    I finally have you, Ciel!
[19:23] ---
    What's wrong?
[19:29] ---
    Can't you breathe? Does it hurt?
[19:33] ---
    If it hurts, I'll lick it all better for you.
[19:36] ---
    I'll lick your wounds.
[19:38] ---
    Enough of this farce.
[19:40] ---
    Enough of this farce, Alois Trancy!
[19:45] ---
    So you were on to me. What a drag.
[19:48] ---
    I thought if I let you get
    me alone, you'd make a move.
[19:52] ---
    So you followed me on purpose?
[19:54] ---
    But...
[20:03] ---
    I can't have you underestimating me.
[20:06] ---
    My young master is quite right.
[20:12] ---
    I believe I warned you earlier, Claude.
[20:17] ---
    Oh, we just wanted to chat somewhere quiet.
[20:20] ---
    What could you possibly want from me
[20:22] ---
    enough to hold a costume ball
    and dress yourself up that way?
[20:27] ---
    I want you.
[20:29] ---
    What do you mean?
[20:30] ---
    That I want you. That's
    all, Ciel Phantomhive.
[20:36] ---
    If you refuse me...
[20:38] ---
    I'll have everyone in there killed.
[20:45] ---
    I've arranged for a little performance.
[20:47] ---
    And if it begins, everyone dies.
[20:51] ---
    Including the people you care about.
[21:05] ---
    Well?
[21:09] ---
    Do as you like.
[21:14] ---
    Are you sure about that?
[21:16] ---
    Of course--if you can. I have
    something I'd like to ask you, too.
[21:20] ---
    What is it? I'll tell you...
[21:23] ---
    if you bow down and kiss my arse.
[21:27] ---
    I wonder which of us
    will kiss arse in the end?
[21:29] ---
    Well, aren't you confident?
[21:34] ---
    Don't get cocky just because
    your butler has a little talent.
[21:39] ---
    My Claude here is even more amazing!
[21:45] ---
    Yes, I thought you'd have one.
[21:49] ---
    You understand our contract, Sebastian.
[21:53] ---
    You'll serve me, you'll protect
    me, and you will not kill me
[21:58] ---
    until my goal is achieved.
[22:00] ---
    Of course.
[22:02] ---
    I've been your loyal
    servant ever since that day.
[22:05] ---
    I'll grant you any wish you like...
[22:08] ---
    Until the day our contract is
    fulfilled and I take your soul.
[22:12] ---
    Good answer.
[22:13] ---
    Hoheo taralna, rondero tarel.
[22:17] ---
    Claude!
[22:19] ---
    Get me Ciel!
[22:20] ---
    This is an order, Sebastian.
[22:23] ---
    Do whatever it takes to
    protect me. Do not fail.
[22:27] ---
    Yes, Your Highness.
[22:29] ---
    Yes, my lord.
[22:40] ---
    Asleep, you look so sad
[22:47] ---
    You look as though
    you're having bad dreams

[22:54] ---
    How do I live without you?
[22:59] ---
    Lock me up, and only me
[23:06] ---
    Within the sky of yourself
[23:14] ---
    I mourn that I can't go in search
[23:20] ---
    Of that blue sky I once saw
[23:28] ---
    But everyone is in the sky
[23:35] ---
    In the cage of freedom
[23:42] ---
    In a starless night sky
[23:49] ---
    Unable to see where I'm going... I wander
[24:05] ---
    Black roses and vows are exchanged.
[24:08] ---
    The fragrance my
    young master's soul gives off

[24:10] ---
    intoxicates demons, drives them mad,
[24:13] ---
    and impels them toward
    the farce called "battle."

[24:18] ---
    Next time: "Bedewed Butler."
[24:22] ---
    A Phantomhive butler who won't
    recapture his initial enthusiasm on occasion

[24:27] ---
    and make some raw beef donburi
    isn't worth his salt.

[24:28] ---
    "Next Time: Bedewed Butler"
