[00:01] Ciel
    M-My father was in Blue House?
[00:03] Alexis
    You have inherited the blood of
    a cricketing genius. Do your best.
[00:11] Clayton
    Leave it to—
[00:13] Redmond
    Crimson Tornado!
[00:15] Red House Student
    Over the boundary for six!
[00:17] Bluewer
    You have a plan?
[00:19] Ciel
    Yes. I promise to pave
    the way for a comeback.
[00:22] Red House Boy C
    Hmm? Where did that meat pie go?
[00:24] Ciel
    Batting isn't the only way
     to turn the tables.
[00:27] Redmond
    My stomach...
[00:29] Ciel
    Tell me, did you enjoy
    our meat and laxative pie?
[00:34] Redmond
    Harcourt!
[00:37] Alexis
    So the final match will be
    Green House against Blue House.
[00:41] Alexis
    It's just like the year
     of the Sapphire Miracle.
[00:43] Sebastian
    We'll start with the Radetzky March.
[00:48] Edward
    His eyes are closed?!
[00:50] Ciel
    We will set up a signal for
    when it is time to swing the bat.
[00:53] Ciel
    Then all the batter needs
    to do is swing on cue.
[00:56] Edward
    Your dirty tricks are
    unbecoming of a gentleman,
[00:59] Edward
    and I won't stand for them!
[01:00] Edward
    Purple Burnout!
[01:02] Student Spectator
    Oi, look over there!
[01:04] Student Spectator
    It's the Head Master!
[01:05] Ciel
    If we capture him, we resolve all of this.
[01:08] Ciel
    Go, Sebastian!
[02:03] Sign
    Black Butler
[02:03] Sign
    Public School Arc
[02:49] Striker
    Wh-What? Where was the signal?
[02:50] Bluewer
    The band stopped.
    Where is Master Michaelis?
[02:54] Ciel
    Nature called, I imagine.
[02:56] Clayton
    Again?
[02:56] Umpire
    Tenth wicket. Change over.
[03:00] Clayton
    We really couldn't hit the ball
    without support.
[03:03] Ciel
    No.
[03:05] Ciel
    We're on our own for the rest of the game.
[03:15] Sebastian
    He's gone.
[03:17] Sebastian
    But where?
[03:20] Sebastian
    How did he get over there?
[03:25] Greenhill
    Hit as many as you can, lads!
    First, we need to level the scores up!
[03:28] Green Athlete
    Yes, sir!
[03:29] Ciel
    I don't like it, but I suppose
    we'll have to use
that technique.
[03:39] Crew Cut
    What a sorry delivery.
[03:42] Crew Cut
    Rats!
[03:43] Blue Athlete B
    Got it!
[03:44] Blue Athlete C
    Oof.
[03:46] Blue Student A
    Our House got someone out!
[03:49] Blue Student B
    Did you see that batsman
    freeze up for a second?
[03:53] Eyebrows
    How could you miss
    a weak delivery like that?
[03:55] Eyebrows
    I'll leather this one!
[04:00] Greenhill
    What?
[04:00] Edward
    Again?
[04:03] Greenhill
    What in blazes is wrong with you two?
[04:05] Eyebrows
    Uh, well...
[04:09] Eyebrows
    I'm sorry.
[04:14] (Flashback) Ciel
    What?
[04:16] (Flashback) Ciel
    You want to invite Lau to the Fourth?
[04:19] (Flashback) Sebastian
    Yes. Their support is
    certain to be useful to us.
[04:23] (Flashback) Ciel
    What exactly about them is useful?
[04:26] (Flashback) Sebastian
    Well, you see...
[04:36] (Flashback) Ciel
    I can't imagine that would have much impact.
[04:40] (Flashback) Sebastian
    I'll admit it's not in the best of taste,
[04:43] (Flashback) Sebastian
    but it should work like a charm
    on those cut off from the outside world.
[04:50] (Flashback) Sebastian
    Perhaps you're still
     too young to understand.
[04:57] Edward
    Is everyone tensing up
    because it's the final?
[04:59] Edward
    I need to set a good example.
[05:03] Edward
    Come at me!
[05:06] Edward
    There's nothing special about this delivery.
    How could they have missed it?
[05:12] Greenhill
    What?
[05:13] Elizabeth
    Brother?
[05:15] Greenhill
    You, too? What's the matter?
     That was an easy one!
[05:18] Edward
    I-I apologise!
[05:20] Green House Student A
    What the devil is wrong with Green House?!
[05:23] Green House Student B
    Get your heads in the game!
[05:26] Edward
    Damn it.
[05:28] Edward
    What the hell...
[05:30] Edward
    ...is that indecent group?!
[05:35] Edward
    So this is why the others couldn't focus?
[05:37] Edward
    F-F-For a lady to show her lower limbs
    in such a fashion is—is—is disgraceful!
[05:45] Edward
    Oh, no! I have to concentrate.
[05:53] Umpire
    Out.
[05:54] Ciel
    It's having a huge impact!
[05:57] Ciel
    Still...
[05:58] Ciel
    I'm not sure how well
    it will work on Greenhill.
[06:03] Greenhill
    Bring it on!
[06:07] Umpire
    Out.
[06:10] Ciel
    It worked best on him...
[06:14] Ciel
    Leave it to a demon who knows
    human desires inside and out.
[06:18] Ciel
    If we can stop them
    from scoring runs this innings...
[06:21] Educator
    I'm telling you to leave!
[06:23] Educator
    Spectators are forbidden
     from wearing such unseemly attire!
[06:26] Lau
    Oh! My English not so good.
[06:30] Ciel
    I didn't expect us to be stopped
    so soon. Who ratted us out?
[06:37] Maurice
    I know just how cheaters think, Phantomhive.
[06:41] Maurice
    What a band of idiots,
    drooling over a little leg.
[06:51] Woman
    Indeed.
[06:52] Sebastian
    Gone again.
[06:57] Sebastian
    He's already over there?
[07:01] Greenhill
    We're into the second innings!
[07:03] Greenhill
    Make sure they get as few runs as possible!
[07:05] Green Athletes
    Yes, sir!
[07:09] Edward
    What's that stance about?
[07:11] Umpire
    You there! Hold your bat
    like you're ready to play.
[07:14] Bluewer
    I am ready to play.
[07:26] (Flashback) Ciel
    Right, let's move on from the
    orchestral swing to the next drill.
[07:30] (Flashback) Clayton
    "Next"? There's more to practise?
[07:33] (Flashback) Ciel
    Naturally.
[07:34] (Flashback) Ciel
    We should have some contingency plans
    in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
[07:39] (Flashback) Bluewer
    But what can we do without any strength?
[07:43] (Flashback) Ciel
    That's simple.
[07:45] (Flashback) Ciel
    We just won't swing.
[07:47] (Flashback) Blue Athletes
    What?!
[07:49] (Flashback) Ciel
    The safest batting method is to use
    the bat to guard the wicket and never swing.
[07:57] (Flashback) Bluewer
    Well, it's safe, certainly,
    but we can't return the ball that way.
[08:02] (Flashback) Ciel
    That's fine. Our Green House opponents
     all have good, strong bowling arms.
[08:20] Bluewer
    I did it!
[08:22] Bluewer
    The force of the ball's outward trajectory
    is partly the force of the delivery.
[08:26] Bluewer
    The important thing is to instantly
    determine where their defence is light,
[08:30] Bluewer
    and make sure the bat deflects
    the ball in the ideal direction.
[08:34] Bluewer
    As Phantomhive said, we are weak.
[08:37] Bluewer
    But there are still ways for us to fight!
[08:43] Bluewer
    We are not kings,
[08:46] Bluewer
    yet a path has opened to us.
[08:49] Bluewer
    Immovable holy sword:
    the Sword in the Stone!
[08:55] Umpire
    Three runs!
[08:57] Umpire
    Two runs!
[08:58] Umpire
    Change over.
[09:01] Clayton
    We managed to get some runs,
    but we're not out of the woods yet.
[09:06] Ciel
    I think the strategy was quite successful.
[09:09] Clayton
    Do you think we can stay ahead?
[09:10] Ciel
    It's not out of the question.
[09:14] Ciel
    Not with what you and I have, Bluewer.
[09:19] Clayton
    Our tactic will only work once, though.
[09:24] Clayton
    Team, please stick with it until then.
[09:27] Team
    Understood!
[09:33] Blue Athlete
    I'm sorry. I let him whack that one.
[09:35] Bluewer
    Chin up. You worked hard.
[09:38] Bluewer
    There are 12 balls left. Whatever it takes,
     we have to stay ahead.
[09:43] Bluewer
    I'm counting on you, Phantomhive.
[09:46] Ciel
    Right.
[09:51] Elizabeth
    Ciel is bowling!
[09:52] Servants
    You can do it, young master!
[09:54] Soma
    Go, Ciel!
[09:55] Cheslock
    Hey now. They're letting the shrimp
    bowl at this crucial moment?
[10:04] Cheslock
    What is that?
[10:10] Spectators
    How can they defend like that?
[10:11] Spectators
    They've left most of the field open.
[10:13] Spectators
    How do they plan to deal with driven shots?
[10:17] Blond
    Are you making fun of us?!
[10:24] Sebastian
    Something is off.
[10:26] Sebastian
    However fast he may be,
    he shouldn't be able to outpace
me*.
[10:29] Sebastian
    Moreover, he walks as though*
    he's trying to evade me.
[10:32] Sebastian
    Could he have sensed my presence?
[10:36] Sebastian
    In that case...
[10:38] Sebastian
    I won't hold myself back
    playing human for him.
[10:54] Sebastian
    He vanished?
[11:00] Sebastian
    The Head Master vanished,
    along with my sense of his presence.
[11:04] Sebastian
    To be able to do that means...
[11:12] Sebastian
    I suppose I'll return to the field for now.
[11:17] Blond
    What are Blue House thinking?
[11:22] Ciel
    Here I come.
[11:24] Blond
    But those skinny little arms
    are no threat to me.
[11:33] Blond
    You could have hurt me!
    Do it again properly!
[11:36] Ciel
    I'm sorry.
[11:38] Ciel
    One more time, then.
[11:44] Umpire
    Out.
[11:47] Ciel
    I'm sorry.
[11:47] Blond
    Now, hold on! All I did
    was dodge a dangerous delivery.
[11:50] Blond
    Who misthrows twice in a row?
[11:55] Blond
    Something's off.
[11:57] Blond
    And this bizarre fielding formation...
[12:01] Blond
    Don't tell me they were
    after that from the beginning?
[12:06] Edward
    It was deliberate?
[12:07] Green House Student F
    That's not sporting!
[12:08] Green House Student D
    You'd break the rules to win?
[12:11] Ciel
    "Break the rules"? Who did? And when?
[12:16] Edward
    I beg your pardon?
[12:19] Ciel
    I happened to bowl badly.
[12:22] Ciel
    The batsman happened to evade it badly.
[12:24] Ciel
    The ball happened to strike his bat.
[12:26] Ciel
    And then it happened to fly up,
    and one of my teammates caught it.
[12:31] Ciel
    That's just an ordinary out, I should think.
[12:34] Edward
    He's right. No rules were broken.
    But bowling like that...
[12:40] Green House Fans
    It's not cricket! It's not cricket!
[12:44] Green House Fans
    It's not cricket! It's not cricket!
[12:48] Green House Fans
    It's not cricket! It's not cricket!
[12:49] Elizabeth
    Ciel...
[12:52] Green House Fans
    It's not—
[12:52] Greenhill
    Silence!
[12:58] Greenhill
    I won't have anyone violating
    the sanctity of this match with jeering.
[13:04] Greenhill
    And you dare call Phantomhive unsporting?
[13:08] Greenhill
    Can't you lot see this?!
[13:14] Greenhill
    These hands tell the story.
[13:17] Greenhill
    His effort and persistence
     are written right here.
[13:20] Greenhill
    Blue House is rotten at sport,
    yet look how hard they have worked.
[13:24] Greenhill
    Do you understand what that means?
[13:27] Greenhill
    The owl came to hunt
    the lion in earnest today!
[13:37] Greenhill
    I'm glad for the chance to battle you
     at your most serious before graduation.
[13:42] Bluewer
    Thank you. I feel the same.
[13:45] Greenhill
    It's time to resume the match!
[13:48] All Athletes
    Right!
[13:49] Widow's Peak
    Now that I know your aim, this'll be easy.
[13:51] Widow's Peak
    You'll bowl it high to leg side,
    and I'll swat it away!
[13:56] Widow's Peak
    Low to the off side?!
[13:59] Ciel
    Defend and you die. Attack and you die.
[14:03] Ciel
    There's nowhere to run.
[14:05] Ciel
    I call these...
[14:09] Ciel
    ...cliff-edge tactics.
[14:17] Widow's Peak
    I'm sorry.
[14:19] Ciel
    I have one more ball to bowl.
[14:30] Edward
    It's you and me, Ciel!
[14:32] Ciel
    Here I go!
[14:37] Edward
    Too slow!
[14:39] Green House Students
    Over the boundary for six!
[14:42] Baldroy
    Ah, he let them get bat on ball after all.
[14:45] Paula
    Should we be pleased?
[14:46] Elizabeth
    Or should we be sad?
[14:49] Mey-Rin
    What's this?
[14:50] Mey-Rin
    The young master... is smiling?
[14:54] Ciel
    I know all about Edward's
    strength of mind and kinetic vision.
[14:57] Ciel
    I always knew I couldn't bowl him.
[15:00] Ciel
    That hit was well within expectations.
[15:04] Bluewer
    You did well, Phantomhive.
[15:07] Bluewer
    Leave the rest to me.
[15:10] Bluewer
    It's been a year, Midford.
[15:13] Edward
    I scored 28 runs off you in that match.
[15:21] Bluewer
    This year...
[15:23] Bluewer
    I'm going to win!
[15:30] Green House Student A
    That's, uh...
[15:32] Green House Student B
    A bit off?
[15:36] A or B
    Blue House never changes!
[15:39] The opposite letter
    They're good at studying, but not this!
[15:49] Bluewer
    It's been six years
    since I entered Weston College.
[15:52] Bluewer
    Blue House has never experienced
    anything but last place.
[15:56] Bluewer
    Our House devotes itself
    to the pursuit of knowledge.
[15:59] Bluewer
    We never questioned our cricket losses.
[16:02] Bluewer
    But one student was different.
[16:06] Bluewer
    He was smaller and frailer than anyone,
[16:09] Bluewer
    yet he thought only of our victory.
[16:18] Bluewer
    He worked hard to that end.
[16:24] Bluewer
    I want to win.
[16:26] Bluewer
    As prefect, I want to win
    this last tournament.
[16:30] Bluewer
    All I can contribute are
    precise calculations, detailed plans,
[16:35] Bluewer
    and a willingness to do the drills
    that make them possible.
[16:40] Bluewer
    That's all.
[16:50] Spectator A
    Brilliant!
[16:52] Spectator B
    What was that?
[16:53] Spectator C
    How is that possible?!
[16:55] Bluewer
    It was a simple trajectory calculation.
[16:58] Widow's Peak
    Th-That delivery...
[17:00] Blond
    How is anyone meant to hit that?
[17:03] Edward
    It didn't deviate one inch.
[17:05] Edward
    It dove straight out of
    the sky to swipe its prey.
[17:08] Edward
    It was like...
[17:10] Bluewer
    The owl at night: Hunter in the Dark.
[17:15] Student A
    He took out Edward Midford in one ball?!
[17:18] Student A
    Who is he?
[17:20] Greenhill
    A thoroughly calculated bowling style.
     It's very you, Bluewer.
[17:27] Greenhill
    However...
[17:29] Greenhill
    There is no ball that I can't hit!
[17:33] Redmond
    Their final batsman is Greenhill.
     It's a P4 showdown.
[17:37] Spectator
    Brains versus brawn.
[17:40] Spectator
    Which will win?
[17:47] Bluewer
    Here I go!
[17:55] Clayton & Blue Student
    Go!
[18:16] Spectator
    Over...
[18:18] Spectator
    Over...
[18:19] Spectator
    Over the boundary for six!
[18:21] Another Spectator
    That's 103 runs!
[18:22] Someone
    We're catching up!
[18:24] Greenhill
    I've seen though your technique.
[18:30] Edward
    He brought his bat down like a sword
    and sent the ball into the stands.
[18:35] Edward
    Only Greenhill could bat like that.
[18:39] Edward
    Power granted only to the chosen...
[18:42] Edward
    A swing that obliterates all...
[18:46] Edward
    The sacred sword of a king: Excalibur!
[18:50] Green House Fans
    We're making a comeback!
[18:53] Blue Student A
    It's all over. We're certain to lose.
[18:56] Bluewer
    He's overcome the results
    of my training so quickly.
[19:00] Bluewer
    I have nothing left in my arsenal.
[19:03] Ciel
    Bluewer.
[19:05] Ciel
    Let's have one more go.
[19:08] Bluewer
    That delivery won't work against him.
    You want me to just let him hit it?
[19:13] Ciel
    I'm grateful to you, Bluewer.
[19:17] Ciel
    Blue House managed to come together
    for this because you took it seriously.
[19:23] Ciel
    So I don't want you to have any regrets.
[19:27] Ciel
    Not even if we lose.
[19:31] Ciel
    I'm sure the others feel the same.
[19:38] Ciel
    Show him the best delivery you've got.
[19:52] Bluewer
    The match is riding on this one delivery.
[19:57] Bluewer
    The final bowl of my Weston life.
[20:01] Bluewer
    I'll stake Blue House's pride
    and mine on this delivery.
[20:17] Greenhill
    Not good enough!
[21:24] Ciel
    Umpire!
[21:26] Umpire
    Out!
[21:27] Umpire
    Match over!
[21:38] McMillan
    Blue... Blue...
[21:40] All Blue House
    Blue House won!
[21:45] Elizabeth?
    Hurray!
[21:46] Soma?
    Ciel won!
[21:55] Blue Someone
    You did it! We did it!
[21:58] Blue Someone
    Phantomhive!
