I do not actually think that there’s any need to recap things which just happened last week, and moreover a recap that detailed lol. I’m sure they have already decided to adapt things till a certain point, that’s why having a recap and such in the limited runtime, but still lol. Anyway, I also don’t think there’s much need to teach miss witch about table manners and such, but yeah lets just say it’s Sebastian doing his work there xD

A bit of a surprise there to see Finn’s backstory, I mean I don’t actually remember well if we ever had his backstory before or not as it’s been really long, but yeah, the guy lived one heck of a difficult life as a lab rat. His current cheerful personality doesn’t at all tell anything about his past, but yeah, I’m just glad the guy found people who gave him a new life altogether. Btw, we know things are super sus in that palace, but we should better start getting more answers now. Ending things on a cliffhanger ain't helping much when we're not adapting much stuff to begin wiith lol.

Noooo another week to find out what's there! Why do they always leave it like that... :(

Great episode! It was very nice to see some more backstories of the other members! It's always so sad but touching~

We get a brief glimpse of Finny's backstory! It's so heartwarming to see how much everyone cares about Ciel - especially his servants - and how much Sullivan has obviously grown to care for him as well. Tanaka "transforming" back and forth between his adult form and his chibi form never fails to amuse me.

And the classic secret passageway in the basement! Wonder what/where it leads to....

Fin's back story reminds me of a certain pretty boy in High School DxD. Both lab rats that were going to be destroyed, etc. Actually wasn't expecting anything like that here, but this show is damn dark.

I didn't see the time go by, it's crazy, I really like the fact that Sullivan didn't insist with Sebastian, even if I admit that I would have liked him to tell him that he's a devil
learning more about Finnian was nice

The snippet of Finnian's past was a shocking moment and one of the highlights of the episode
Sieglinde is such an adorable character!

I just love introducing arbitrary things through arbitrary conveniences. The ending of this episode was next level arbitrary. It'd make Hollywood proud. The kind of writing that can earn a blockbuster flop let's go!

With that I'm checking out. I'm bored by the current premise already. Last season was already mediocre to bad and this is not letting me down. It's promising even worse writing kekw. Fell off so hard after season 2 it's unbelievable ;D.

I have no desire to see anymore of this after the sham that was the end of this episode. Might as well insult audience intelligence pulling that stunt.

Did you not realise Kurushitsuji has always been trash, but a very delectable level of trash? Plot wise it has more in common with Scooby Doo than anything.

If you ask me, Sebastian is a much more suited butler than Wolfram. He is more experimented and has better manners.

Frau Sullivan is really helpful and thanks to her, Sebastian and his master are healthy.

Actually thinking BBII is better than any BB installment ever, that's how you know we're on some hater shit, lol... I don't even have BBII rated that low compared to community opinion, I can just still admit it.

In other news, Sullivan once again being most based character this season, sniffing out devil worshipping but not pressing upon discovering that Ciel was, in fact, a victim.

@MoonSpider ...yeah, I thought everyone agreed s2 was hot garbage. Non-canon as well. No idea what's inside some people' heads. If anything, both s1 and s2 were pretty bad and everything afterwards is an improvement + actually follows the damn manga.

Damn, Finny's backstory, though short and brief, was dark and sad. I'm glad that Ciel brought him back with him. He's such a joyful and bright person now thanks to his new upbringing as a gardener.

@TheMangaManiac it's hard to even get people to follow the story. they get confused when you tell them only half of the first season follows the manga, but even then, there's content the first half leaves out or it contains filler/non-canonical charas/non-canon foreshadowing that would just confuse people. always better to simply read the manga from the beginning and accept s1/s2 as is its continuity.

Sebastian pledges himself to the Emerald Witch as long as she cures Ciel, and well, now i know why this season is so popular.

He ends up as HER butler. New clothes. Food. Carrying her around. Sounds like my idea of heaven.

Felt bad for Finn, he was a weapon created from experiments and the first people he saw after escaping were Ciel and Sebastian. Not surprisingly the old castle has a secret passage, ooo.

Now Sullivan can live in the Sebas luxury 🫡 she's going to be spoiled to death XD off the bat she's testing the limits. But leave it to Sebas tho, making linen into clothing with flawless efficiency. Protec her for life.

XD She asked for the outside, she's getting the outside. No more stuffing face with food 😔 sadly. And the way to learn Englidh probably shouldn't be started with a medical book XD but I guess that's all they have.

Geez that jump to the test subjects 👀 gardener got their own sad backstory.

Sullivan learns language quicker than Ciel XD

Sebas being sneaky 👀 course we get to the juicy stuff near the end of the episode. Welp, more secrets to uncover in the future.

Watching it now subbedales certain things so much more obvious than the English manga translation did when I read it years ago.

Great episode as always, this arc remains my favourite for a reason.

The constant comparison between Sebastian and Wolfram. It must be a pain. Lol
Umh. Those scenes in the lab were intense... But they definitely didn't look 19th century.
Good cliffhanger. Although I wonder why it has to be Snake who follows him.
