Oh my, what is going on? It's a sudden turn of events. The Queen's body parts are made by stitches of her husband and herself, wtf. Also, how did she die? Is he dead for real? Oh my. Wait what? Angela and Ash are one? WHAT THE FUCK?

Also, if Ciel's going to die like Undertaker said, then does that mean he's going to Hell? Plus, what did Ash say about dueling to Sebastian. Also, Ash has boobs, oh my. Every angels I've seen in Anime always have boobs even though they're a man, lol.

I am wondering if Ciel's going to die in this crimson fire made by Pluto. Is that collar the cause if Pluto's rampage? Wasn't Sebastian the one who gave it to him? Also, why did he give the diamond ring away?! Damn, I need to see this ending.

MY FAVOURITE ANIME of all time!!! At least definately up until now!!
This episode was so epic in every sense!! The dark atmosphere and the emotional depth that it has, all the feelings that it emits without saying too much words. And balancing some funny moments with the dark ones where they are needed to lighten the atmosphere. Plus it's full of symbolisms whether it is in the picture or the dialogues. Loved the dialogue between Sebastian and Ash-Angela! I don't know.. maybe it's just me.. but I don't feel that I have found something similar in any other anime before. I have watched some intense, dark anime, yes, but Kuroshitsuji just has this one more spice that makes it so special to me. As a big fan of anti-heros i confess this anime has given me some great moments of watching pleasure. Can't wait to see how it will finish... though i think i was spoilled seeing an image i didn't want to.. anyway.. can't also wait for the new Kuroshitsuji 2 this July! :D Hope it will be similarly epic!! :))

The gruesome state of the Queen was VERY disgusting... poor thing. I am glad she's finally at rest.

And poor pluplu <3 I actually liked that pup a lot.

Sebastian was very much the demon he says he is in this episode... you sometimes forget....

How the hell is this going to end?!

Ciel, you finally got your determined attitude back, I was beginning to think you lost yourself in all the mess of the angels and the Queen.

Seeing the Queen’s body rot was utterly disgusting, how can someone be so foolish to attach their own body to their beloved’s putrid corpse...? That’s beyond crazy.

I want Ciel to die so his soul is given to Sebastian. I know it won’t happen but that would be the good and logical ending, and not some made-up solution only to maintain alive the protagonist.

One more episode~
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Only one more episode to go! I'm glad Sebastian is back, and for some reason it felt like he behaved more like a demon in this episode than any other. Not fighting wise (he always kicks ass) but personality wise. It was strange but interesting to see him watch Ciel from the roof top all moody and detached (my personal view on how a demon would behave)

That rotting flesh thing with the queen was DISGUSTING. Especially when the angel just ran his finger along her throat and took off skin like it was icing on a cake. Yuck. That being said, I'm disappointed Ciel+Sebastian didn't get to kill her themselves.

I look foreword to the finale!


Yeah, I also think that Sebastian's behavior this episode was closer to what I'd expect from a demon. And I loved that^^

Angela and Ash being the same person was no surprise for me since that's what I've been saying since Ash first appeared. Anyway, I'm glad I got the confirmation because I was tired of waiting for it.

This episode was amazing and I might even raise my score to a 9/10 if the ending satisfies me.

I'm not surprised at this point, in Christian traditions, angels are always portrayed to look like human males and even have masculine names but still believed to be asexual or have androgynous physical manifestations. Err...at least that what I thought so ever since I was a child too.

One last episode... XD

So during the start of the series, while Ash was being the Queen's bodyguard, he spent the rest of his day posing as a housemaid Angela for a demon dog owner a few hundred miles away for no apparant reason. And at the same time runs a church cult also in a different area.

Yeah, I can tell this isn't manga canon lol still a nice watch though.

I, as some people here, don't get a lot of some point of the story (like why did Sebastian left Ciel alone. Wasn't the contract that Sebastian will follow every of Ciel's order and never let his side? Then he broke it ¬¬)


I'm guessing that when Ciel ordered Sebby to stop fighting when he had the opportunity to get his revenge, Sebby didn't want his soul anymore.
He says something after Ciel acts like his usual self again about how he's greatful that he gets to eat one of the most delicious souls now.
Before, when Ciel was having second thoughts, Sebby abandoned him, not wanting his soul anymore. It was no longer special.
Why work for something you don't want?


I actually got the impression from what Sebastian said that he left in order to somehow improve the flavor of Ciel's soul. I think the point was Sebastian leaving made Ciel grow to new heights (or perhaps sink to new depths) in ways he wouldn't have otherwise, thus making his soul all the more delicious. (I am wondering if this might be partly a difference between sub vs. dub translations or a different version)

My theory is that Sebastian wanted Ciel's revenge to be his own - he didn't want to force Ciel into it, because it would have been insincere and there would not have been the same sort of catharsis for his soul.

Hmm so Ash and Angela really are one and the same, that confirms my suspicion from a few episodes back when Pluto was fond of Ash while he was at the Phantomhive Manor. And damn that was gruesome with the queen, the flesh of her husband finally deteriorating.

And from what I can tell, Sebastian left Ciel and broke the contract because he was starting to lift up from the depths of hatred and despair. But now that he's lost everything and has fallen even further than before, his soul is now "ripe" so to speak. Sebastian really is a shady demon, using all of that to add flavor to Ciel's soul.

One episode left, I can hardly wait to see how this ends.

Glad to see that Ciel is back to is merciless. Even if I hope that he kill the angel and that Sebastian take his soul, with a second season, it's pretty much impossible.

So is the end of Pluton. He did what he had to do. It looked like it was the collar that was controlling him, but they didn't really had the time to figure out how to save him, he was burning an whole city...

The Queen lived alone until the very end.

I didn't expect the two angel to be the same, I thought they were twins.

I wonder if that second season will be about that ''war'' with France.

Grell and burning London.

Pluto causing the burning.

Dead mixmashed queen.

Sebastian catching bullets with one hand. Nice speed. The angel really ought to be no match for him if he can move this quickly.

I'm glad Sebastian came back!

So Ash and Angela are really one in the same, I knew they looked similar but didn't think Angels could change between genders ... the scene where they kept changing was odd lol.

Grell came back too.

The Queens rotting body was gross.

I can't believe Pluto caused so much destruction! I used to like him so much :(

lol stupid guards.. If Ciel really was the culprit why would you kill him? It's logical to think that you should capture him so that you can question him about shit.

so Ash is like... a clownfish. he can change his gender and Angela is his female form. woah!

"Making preparations for the last supper. At times, it is sweet, hot, and sour. One must use different spices and let it mature."

Welp, that sets to rest any ideas that Sebby was beginning to care for Ciel. Any moments where we thought he was acting concerned or nice to Ciel ("sweet") were just meant to butter up his meal, as were his moments where he seemed angry at him weakening ("hot") and his leaving Ciel ("sour"). Not pretense, but all only for the sake of his most delicious supper! I'm actually glad, though, it seems much more fitting for an ages-old demon

That was a very dark episode. Ugh. RIP, Pluto, I guess? He was being controlled by those assholes of angels or should I say angel? It seems like Ash and Angela are the same person. Goddamnit idk. I guess we'll know in the final episode which I can't believe will be the last.

Welcome back, Sebby. I guess he's still bitter as fuck with Ciel not deciding to kill the Queen just yet, but now the Queen is dead I wonder what's gonna happen now. Someone already did his goal for him. Jesus.

LAST EPISODE! WAAAAH.
