| Impressive, Ciel with his determination and talent takes his team to the cricket finals. I love how Ciel played mind games with his opponents. Episode even decided to throw in some animal motifts. This competition was both a physical and mental battle between both teams. Well played Ciel. Meanwhile, Sebastian took care of his own business. |

| Oh, Lau always has such exciting methods. With Sebastian gone, the members of the Blue House are forced to fight on their own. Meanwhile, Sebastian discovers that the headmaster has disappeared from the spot where he was reportedly seen. To his surprise, he finds him at a considerable distance away. Although reluctant, Ciel introduces another strategy that Sebastian had devised some nights before. Sebastian had revealed his plan, which involved Lau, and admitted that while it wasn't a very sophisticated method, it would captivate the boys who had been sheltered from the outside world. The last I heard, throwing the ball like Bluer did is against the rules and would be ruled a no ball. In other words, Blue House should have lost. I mean, can you actually throw a ball straight up in that manner? (His arm was pointing down). Also, Lizzy being confused about whether to be happy or sad at Edward vs. Ciel xD Oh Ciel, your acting skills are truly top-notch lmao. To think he would let that happen to his face, he really wants to win. Well, that's Ciel for you. Now that Blue House has finally won, it's time to uncover the secret of what exactly the principal is. |

| 14:49 Most people: *put on glasses to see better* Mey-Rin: *takes off glasses to see better* Love the soundtrack near the end with leitmotifs from the OP This little cricket mini-arc seriously got me so invested, like a sports anime. I was really happy when Blue House won (even though it's partially thanks to Ciel's tricks. Like that hit and blood at the end, it was 100% fake). |
 |
| Superb finale! I don't remember having such an epic finale in the manga and scan. |
| Awww Ciel's smile T-T Great episode, what an entertaining cricket match. This show is so much more comedic than I'd remembered. Blue House used every tactic in their arsenal and won. Ciel at the end there, getting deliberately hit with the bat in order to take down Greenhill and end the game...quite an intense moment. Blue House deserved the win. This really makes me want to see a spinoff of Vincent's time at the school, I'm so curious what kind of underhanded tactics he'd used to win lol. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Holy hell, that was a FABULOUS episode. I've never seen cricket in anime before this episode and now ... I can't believe this turned into a sports anime with all the usual tropes. * the underdog vs. the top dogs * the underdogs employing questionable tactics * Sexy distraction like ... in The Replacements * the strong ones fighting back * the drama of the injured Ciel crawling towards the ball and throwing it slow motion towards the wicket ... Then Victory! That was so sweet, they must have been so happy. Loved this episode. |
 |
| i knew something was gonna happen during that lasts bowl, but i wasn't expecting ciel to upset the champs by literally putting his head to it lol |
       |
| The plot thickens with the Headmaster, and Ciel wins the game with one last trick, it was pretty cool to see the ways they were able to beat Green House basically without using strength at all |
Ciel and the Blue house did an incredible job! I’m so proud of all of them. Despite being the less athletic house, they were able to win! The hit must've hurt, Ciel took it like a champ. Just like his father before him, Ciel was able to win with the Blue House. |
 |
| Crazy... Ciel's strategies and tactics are beyond reason, beyond the expectations of all of them xD the cricket match made him battered lol, didn't expect Ciel to hurt himself at all. That's really Ciel's style. Please don't ever change Ciel~ And omg. The principal suddenly disappeared? What.... But the highlight of this episode was how the students of the Green House blushed seeing Lau and his harem xD that was really funny |
 |
| You and all your dirty tricks, Ciel ๐๐ค (Sebastian looked so proud) |
| Kuroshitsuji is now the best sports anime of the season. |
| It took Sebastian too long to realize he was dealing with another supernatural. I was certain he was a vamp until this episode. Even without Sebastian there the entire time, the owl successfully hunted the lion. Well done. Honestly, I don't know why they didn't use their genius at calculating trajectory, speed, etc. before. |
| Ciel's acting out when he got hit with the bat, is so funny. |
| The fact that Ciel on purpose got hit in the head and spilled blood just to win the cricket match is crazy. |
| This whole cricket tournament is so overly dramatic I love it. |
| Let's just say that was quite the match and leave it at that. Got invested in it for some reason. Black butler actually giving female fanservice though, wow. Gratz to them for winning. What's up with the principal? Demon? |
 |
| Damn this was such an amazing episode it seems like the headmaster tho isn't really human?? he's suspicious tbh. |
 |
| The fact that this turned in to a full-on sports anime, right down to having special attacks with names, is hilarious to me. |
| Now that was outstanding, they won maybe only by one point but it's still a win. I am still laughing on this one. Next time! |
| I guess win is a win even thou Ciel cheated all this time... |
 |
| Ciel took one for the team at the end, he really enjoyed the game, even if it was just a passing event in his investigation! Little or big moments he can still enjoy! |
Undefeated  Bahamut |
| Ciel was ready to put his life on the line for a freaking cricket match lmao... His acting skills could won an award ๐คฃ |
 |
| Sebastian be standing there like; My Bocchan just got hurt, but meh, Imma just smile ๐ |
 |
| What happened to Ciel near the end of the episode left me speechless, but I'm sure he had that all planned... |
| Ciel being happy, really happy, is a rare sight to behold. |
 |
| The Headmaster will definitely pick Ciel for the Midnight Tea event, especially after getting hit the way he did just to give Blue House the win! This was an amazing game, and Bluewer did well in giving the best ball ever. But I feel Ciel jumped in front of the bat on purpose getting hit the way he did! |
| So much drama over a cricket game I love it ๐๐๐ Ciel is a really hard-working boy I'm glad they actually acknowledged that. Another epic episode from an epic anime. |
 |
| That was rattiest way to win. |
| The blue house won!!! kekeke |
| Ciel made cricket watchable, I'm so proud of him |

| Guys were getting the flak for bowling bouncers xD Still, as weird as this cricket match has been, at the very least Ciel's team won. They can't complain about the no-ball(I mean nobody is either way but still) as the last wicket was a run-out anyways lol. Also yeah, headmaster isn't a normal person *surprise* |
 |
| Lol they played real dirty |
