| Oh man, the dark secrets of this arc is being spilled. Hell, even the principal's real identity was revealed. I have to say though..seeing Undertaker back is an interesting twist. He seems to treat this like his personal game and getting amusement out of all the events. Episode definitely felt like it's setting up for the finale with all the pieces coming together. Truly, Undertaker is someone not to be underestimated. |
 |
| So basically everyone that goes to this school is scum... Derrick remains unfazed by the outburst from before and calls out to the person hiding behind the piano to reveal themselves. The figure steps forward, surprising Edgar by revealing himself as the vice principal. Edgar demands an explanation from him, and Agares responds that he understands the question. He proceeds to punish Derrick and his four friends with 2Ys for being out at night, prompting Derrick to offer a half-hearted apology. Royals will be royals, and be annoying, trying to cover everything up with their papa's money. So good on the prefects for bashing not only him but the vice-principal as well. But at the same time, Derrick was a dick, sure, but killing him was too far. And yes, Ciel is a hypocrite. The one thing I liked about BB was the whole thing with the records, so I'm glad that this episode continued expanding on it. But it looks like we're done with this arc at last. I mean, everything's been tied up, so I don't know what next week's episode has in store for us. The Queen truly is sick in the head... trust me when I say that you do NOT want those monsters on your side. |

| The animation during Sebastian and Undertaker's (imaginary) fight was gorgeous. Hey, Ciel actually told the Queen the truth, nice. I'm thinking that Sebastian burning the photo just like that and saying "I think I'll bake him an exceptionally sweet cake" is symbolism for him wanting to keep Ciel's lifestyle as is, depriving him of proper friendships and a real childhood like the one he briefly experienced at school, because he's nurturing his soul to eat it in the end and all. We still have one more episode left, I guess it'll be a like a teaser for the next arc. Or a slice of life episode. |
 |
| Well damn this Queen is cooking up something evil. She scares me more than the zombies lmao. Good episode, but there's one thing that's really been bothering me throughout this arc. If Derrick bullying and using others to accomplish his drudge work bothers the prefects so much, why aren't they more careful to ensure this kind of thing never happens again? Literally Cole did the same thing (just not to Derrick's extent, but still), and Ciel as well with using Sebastian. But clearly, they didn't even bother to come up with some sort of tests to ensure their own drudges are actually doing their own work. Are they stupid? Their ignorance is astounding. But otherwise, I like how this arc concluded. Undertaker is as sneaky as ever, and it was nice to see the Phantomhive servants again. One more episode to go - perhaps a setup to the next arc? |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Was it Kamiya Hiroshi at the end voicing John Brown, or am I hallucinating? Interesting. This was an overall nice wrap-up, was good to see Ciel back at the manor with all the other characters. |
| thank you for feeding us more undertaker clips i guess that's the end of the public school arc. a bit underwhelming compared to their previous arcs i think. |

HibiChika said: her royal boomerness is rotten to the core like expired fruits. Just another day in the British monarch's life. Can't say I was surprised she wants to have an army of zombies. |
| I really like how the other prefects jumped right in to assist Greenhill. They were instantly in the same page. I understand murder is wrong, but in a world where we face the consequences of destroying tradition, their way of thinking isn't wrong at all. It's the execution that was wrong. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| The short fight between Sebastian and Undertaker is magnificent, just like in the good old days! |
| Feeling so good to see everyone together at the mansion again it's been a while. He's back to being Ciel, being in school doesn't suit him. |
| They always make the Queen twisted 😆 like what the heck. I guess that idea is always canon. |
| Awesome episode, I think the whole idea of the Undertaker prolonging their lives that way is really interesting Ciel cutting all ties with every one so easily is so sad T.T And the Queen is freaking scary For a second I thought I was mistaken about there being 11 episodes because it seemed like the finale, but still one more |
| There are a few things that touch my heart in this episode. Ciel saving Jeanne without hesitation, Ciel pointing out that good normal people (unlike him) should not be killers, and the bond between the P4 especially Violet and the others. Their houses are bitter rivals but they stand together which isn’t very common between an intellectual, an eccentric artist, and an athlete. What they did was pretty rotten but the fact they supported one another and didn’t throw Greenhill under the bus is pretty incredible. |
| Bro when Sebastian and the premonition of what would have happened if he didn't save Ciel first was awesome!👏🏾 I thought it actually happened! Banger episode! |
Undefeated  Bahamut |
| Sebastian really did enjoy burning that picture from Ciel. He wants to make his soul even sweeter for when he will finally be able to devour it! Hope its soon, bcs Ciel is annoying! Its bcs Sebastian keeps having to protect him that he can't settle the score with Undertaker so the sooner he gets rid of this kid, the better. Those 4 new prefects, unfortunately, I can see they are not happy to have taken the place of their seniors the way they did. Especially Holden's little brother. As a child of justice, having to wear the shoes filled by your brother's murderous blood has to be disgusting for him. 1 more episode to go. |
| I've always thought it strange how the P4 never thought Maurice was like Derrick. They'd dealt with one wonder child, Derrick, that ended up being a fake. Then when another gifted jack-of-all-trades appears before them, Maurice, they believe he's genuine. They just seem to refuse to believe that another rotten fruit could appear in their beloved Garden of Eden, as believing Derrick was the lone problem is how they justify his murder. |
| Crazy. There was a sense of relief in me seeing Greenhill swinging his bat to hit Derrick. Those bullies deserve to die.... but I'm a bit surprised that the vice-principal is dead as well. The Queen seems to have the intention of making those zombies as her companion... please don't tell me she's going to be friends with Undertaker.... But I thought. I know it's probably crazy, killing a student for the sake of a school principle. Well, if he was an innocent student then it really is crazy, but he was also a bully right... he's been there for 4 years so how many heinous things has he done to those innocent students... though I don't really understand my feelings either.. I know it's wrong but I feel like they deserve it.. well the vice principal deserves to die anyway. Too disgusting. |
 |
| To sum it up like Ciel said, it's a fine line between education and brainwashing. Queen has some troublesome ideas too. It's back to home for Ciel. Whats gonna happen in the finale? Gimme more Elizabeth. |
 |
| Ciel said what's the point of killing. Killing shouldn't take place. Edward Midford said the same thing. But those bastards were bullying students. They deserved death penalty. If they were left alive they would have bullied more in the future. So here I can't agree with Ciel and Edward. Bullies deserve death penalty. |
 |
| Chill out grandma. These corpses will eat you without a second thought. |
 |
| was soooo happy to see snake back!! he’s one of all time fav characters and wasn’t expecting to see him (i thought he died - i’ve only watched the anime & haven’t read the manga) so i thought he died after book of atlantic, happy i’m wrong |

| They could've stopped Derrick and the others in other ways, but they chose the easiest one ☠️ They should've at least punished Greenhill. He's a straight-up murderer! Serving tea to a picture!!! Like he's gonna come out of it and take a sip lol. The queen's brain cells seemed to shut down after her husband died. |
| The Prefects are LITERAL heroes for killing those pieces of trash. 100% objective fact that the guys they killed all would have either gone on to become violent criminals, or made their way into high end politics and business where they did nothing but spread misery from their official station while still practicing their macabre and deranged behaviors privately. In real life people that perform those sorts of deranged acts never reform and only get worse. The world should be thanking them for their services. |
 |
| Ciel's acting as a good kid with good morals was so entertaining throughout this season; I'm going to miss this arc even though I'm excited to see what's next. I wonder how they'll spend the last ep? |
 |
| It's good that Slop leveling won the CR awards with such a power gap, Gaijin Weebs don't deserve good anime. Not after what they did to frieren, kusuriya, and many others |
| The queen and her new butler and their scheme just like in S1 anime. it's canon, maybe back then the writer Yana is told the studio how it's gonna end and what or who the character reveal will be, just like undertaker actually is shinigami. |
| Damn this! I can't believe Sebastian still didn't beat Undertaker in a battle! I was hoping for a rematch where Sebastian kicks his ass! :( But tbh, I am seriously upset for the fact that those prefects got punished for killing off some scum that was ruining the school's traditions and good name! He was basically left to do what he wanted simply bcs he is the queen's family! There was no punishment that was going to help in disciplining this Derrick! What they did was called 'Justice' for those whom were bullied! And the Queen can say what she wants, but as part of her family, she is also at fault for how rotten he turned out when he was alive! They can say what they want about death being immoral, but it is honestly the most satisfactory punishment for those like Derrick whom ruin an equilibrium of life! |
 |
| Welp, when Ciel told her about the zombies I thought “oh she’s def going to see them as a potential weapon”, I mean, the industrial age came about during her reign. She would def be someone who thinks because she’s royalty that messing with dark forces would be a perfectly safe thing to do. I’d think even the real queen Victoria would have done the same thing. |
 |
| The Queen is dropping some MASSIVE foreshadowing 2-3 Arcs in advance with those last lines.... |
 |
| Sebastian prioritizing Ciel's survival above anything else "I've gone to the trouble of raising you. I won't stand for anyone snatching you away now." Goosebumps on this one. I really love this duo a lot 🖤 |

| @toralbabs I totally agree 🤔 |
| Well, see you later, Undertaker ! |
| Kamiya Hiroshi joins the cast! another dream come true for me yay 😆 i hope this John Brown role is relevant though |
| I thought this episode was the last, but there is one more!!! Well, Ciel discovered the truth ... ...the Queen wants the deaths how "friends"! kekeke |
| I’m honestly not mad that they killed him. He would’ve done so much worse once he gained more power or took over the role of Duke. |
 |
| The queen is disgusting, just the fact that she asks Ciel so nonchalantly to sniff out more of the case for her is sickening me. |
| After this episode I had to stop and breathe. I had already read Mona Awad's "Bunny" for the reddit fantasy Dark Academia bingo square, but now I know the Black Butler Public School Arc is as Dark Academia as it gets. It's got the whole aesthetic, the storyline and the gothic feel characters to match. Just superb. The P4 doing what they did, that made sense. If he hadn't taken out Derrick, that bully was going to get away with it! And then they call in ... someone to try "fix" the mess. Which only made things worse. Ewww. The Sebastian vs. Undertaker fight in the mind when he realized the true target was Ciel, well ... that's as Sakuga as it gets. Beautiful fight choreography, music, direction all of it. Muah Chef's Kiss. Loved it. Everything is reported and the conspiracy hush up continues with just the P4 getting expelled. They loved Weston so much, it doesn't love them back enough. I felt they got the short end of the stick. Ouch. The saddest and probably worst part is the Queen ... saying she would entertain the idea of dealing with someone who can reanimate corpses. And THIS Is who you serve? Ulp! That Queen is a POS for wanting to use a reanimator, when she doesn't realize she'd be prime target #1 for being controlled. And Sebastian burning that picture, noooo! Now we'll never know what was in that letter from his school chum. |

| Turns out the prefects were actually on autopilot justifying their actions as a "necessary means to uphold tradition", sigh. No wonder that guy who actually didn't look like a guy from a few episodes back was fooling them on a similar premise with ease, until Ciel exposed him. In the end, the school was actually really weird. Not sure what will become of that place from here on, but yeah anyway, the ending bit with the queen tells the folks inside that school aren't the only people who are sick in their heads. |

| @RawrOMG it's not even bullying, it's whole conspiracy, never push someone against the wall if you are not the one with the riffle, they got exactly what they deserved. |
