| Bad angel, Angela! Bad! :P And she went dominatrix now... Ah that good-natured simpleton was an idiot and should have stayed on the sidelines. It made me sad. Cartoonmaster said: kungfutornado said: For some reason when Sebastian said "Yes, an idiot" to me it feels like he meant Ciel, not Aberlin. I'm not entirely sure what Sebastian's thinking, but I got a bit of that same feel from that. I somehow think so too. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Was that the first time we saw Lau's eyes open and the first time his gf spoke? And not only did they both die but Aberline? I wasn't expecting those 3 to die in this episode, I liked them all very much :( I have been watching the English dub and I thought the butterfly metaphor was clear enough--as others said, Lau's reality is twisted and he prefers it that way because he would rather escape from reality than truly face it. I thought it was rather interesting how at the end it seemed like one of first times that both Ciel and Sebastian seemed upset about the contract, at least Ciel--Aberline made him aware that there was an option for him to have a future beyond revenge and pain but that he gave it away, and Sebastian did not seem happy that he endured so much for Ciel and all Ciel could do was ungratefully slap him around. We got to hear some more of Sebastian's past! And the next episode hinted at more! I'm liking the character development, and although I knew Angela would return, it didn't feel necessary and we still don't know why she's so specifically obsessed with Ciel's soul... she's not going away though, it looks like, and we'll have to put up with her... I can't wait to see what happens the next episode :) |
| This episode was fine, poor Aberlin, really... but oh I did like the torture scene lol |
MusashiRose said: Ugh Aberlain... nuuu... whyyyy... ;_ ; I feel awful for his wife... and possibly unborn child. Why did he feel the need to run infront of the sword? There are other ways! JusticeUndone said: I don't know what is the most powerful thing that made me fall in love with this series, but I'm Seriously lovestruck here! The gothic feeling, the hints of old English legends, the dark, eerie, weeping atmosphere... This is EXACTLY one of the main reasons I'm enjoying this series. Gothic..dark.. feel is fantastic! Same here~ and yeah he could of pushed lau down or something.. - Overall good ep. Ciel was pretty badass.  |
| Nyaa! Sebastian is so cute shirtless *-* It was very sad to see Angela whipping him. Lau And that traitor, as he may have betrayed him? Poor police, tune, he just wanted a better world!. _. But anyway, this chapter was awesome *-* So I did not like the end, Sebastian does not deserve a slap for Ciel, but the face of fury, it all paid off, at least for me. |
| I knew it. Aberlain was going to die. Since he talked about family. Every step of him was telling "you are going to die, sir". |
TitanioVerde said: I knew it. Aberlain was going to die. Since he talked about family. Every step of him was telling "you are going to die, sir". Yep. The minute he said he was getting married I knew he was as good as dead. Also, WTF with the butterflies? |
| am i the only one who turned into a sadist after watching this ep. i mean i really enjoyed that whipping scene... REALLY.. oh and poor abberline i didnt like you at first but now im so sad your gone |
| I'm kinda regretting that I read the manga beforehand... because now, even though this is a great anime and I should have nothing to complain, I can't help but get irritated by how much worse the plot line is compared to the manga =/ Oh well, this was a pretty decent episode and it is generally an interesting arc, so thumbs up for that :) 3/5 |
 |
| Another great episode! Though sad about Albarain and Lau they where quite nice characters in this anime! And lol at canon ball surfing ;p |
 |
| Hmm this episode was nice I guess.Ciel should've ordered Sebastian to patch up and save Abby. If he couldn't save a stabbed human, what kind of butler would he be? Haha Cenedess said: I didn't get the butterfly crap AT ALL xD Yeah that was weird. Lau just became full of shit. |
| RANMAO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU WERE SO HOT! |

Orio94 said: unholy_cat said: that was sad with Aberlin, agree what was that? That's a famous ancient quote isn't is? About the man who dreamt he was a butterfly, or the butterfly that dreamt he was a man. It's just a philosophical thing, questioning how we see reality. Lao wanted to escape from harsh realities to his dreams, hence all the focus on opium. It was pretty fitting, though kind of over-used throughout the episode. Yeah. Some Chinese philosopher (I forgot his name) wrote a story about when he had a dream that he was a butterfly. When he woke up, this philosopher realized that he might be a butterfly dreaming that he was a man. The point is: how can we tell the ream from reality? Now, as for what that had to do with this episode, I don't have a clue! |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| NO, ABERLINE, WHY. HE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO DIE. I think I cried. |

| SO SAD ABOUT ABERLINE because he still needs to marry his fiance and they have a baby cominggg! D; daahhhh... I hate it when good characters die and leave family behind TT__TT lol Phoebe, I didn't care for the torturer because he hurt my Sebastian xD Still need to get Angela back for whipping my handsome demon D:< bad "angel"! |
| i actually liked aberlin :( |
| I got a spoiler beforehand that this Angel Arc is just an anime original story, Rather than a filler I hope this anime really would left manga plotline, something like Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) ... |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| Ciel lost a lot on this one. He lost his alliance with Lau, probably his alliance with the Queen (or at least, his confidence in her) and he also lost his on ally in the Scotland Yard, Aberline. I wonder if the angels aren't playing with the Queen. History sholwed us that King and Queen have been often used as tool for greater plans... We saw in the end why Sebastian stay a demon, he is still cold as ice. |

| Am I the only one sensing some beginning of hatred towards Ciel from Sebastian? That ending, it's like Sebastian realizes he's an idiot as well for being his master's loyal dog. A lot of controversy in this episode, saying he wants nothing more than Ciel & then ending the episode with that.. meh, I could be wrong. Aberlin... what a dumbass. He was going to get married, have a child & he threw away all his responsiblities & just gave his life up for some kid that he hardly knew. |
| Plot twist: You don't have to hate on people, just because they have their own opinion which might be different from yours. |
| Noo not Aberlin ;_; Glad when Ciel gave him 2 b-slaps. He deserved some more. |
| Angela's thighs are fucking delicious... |
| Man, there were so many unfair things in this episode. Except for Ciel slapping Sebby. That was good. |
Adramelech said: I think Sebastian intended to let Ciel die at that scene. I thought that too. Because what Angela said about him not eating for a long time got to him. Man. Abberline though. It just HAD to be the guy who was about to get married and have a kid. |

Renege said: Cenedess said: Stupid filler is stupid. And was I the only one who didn't enjoy the torturing? o.O Angela is so stupid. And the anti-climax panties...>.> Lmao! Anti-climax panties XD Who's unclean now, Angela? Lol ikr? Anyways, how does Sebastian randomly know how to jump on a cannonball, then use it as a surf board to reach the ship? I guess it is only natural for one who serves the Phantomhives to know how to do that... But when he makes it, this landing scene xD  Ciel is smiling in this picture: It appears Ciel is too short to reach Sebastian lolol. Ahah. This scene. "Children are very impatient." Closeup of the right eye. |
| I can't believe it was Lau, I liked him, he was funny! I knew his girl would be some crazy kung fu expert lol. Ciel was badass with that gun and I can't believe he slapped Sebastian for not saving the guy who saved him! D: I feel like he should've slapped him with his glove though tbh being a Lord and all lol. Sebastian got tortured and whipped! D: It was kinda hot though but I felt bad for him at the same time but he has wicked abs lol. Literally xD Why was Angela there though? o_O Sebastian on the cannonball was funny! |

| i cant help but feel that abberlines death was a bit out of character for him... i mean he was so pumped about getting married and starting a family, i find it hard to believe he'd abandon his wife and kid like that just to save ciel.... :/ slightly off topic.... but i'm getting serious mirai nikki vibes here.... |
 |
| Seriously? Ange-fucking-la? again? The bitch was a filler character, she's not in the manga so why is it like she's the main antagonist in this show? Does that mean everything, from the beginning until now it's been nothing but filler episodes? And I was not even surprised when it was revealed that she was an angel. Because in anime, the angels are the bad guys and the devils are the good. This "deconstruction" is now becoming an annoying cliche. "For things that obstruct me, even if they're my parents and friends, they must be eliminated" wow... that's so very Lelouch-like.. hell maybe even Light-like. Nice one Ciel, damn that's why I like this kid. Poor Aberlin... he set up his own death flag when he mentioned that he's about to get married and have a kid. |
 |
| RIP Aberlin. Thank you so much for being a great guy. Although he was tortured, Sebastian was still badass. We get to learn more about his past. The scene wherein Ciel slapped him for not saving Aberlin was hilarious. I didn't expect that Lau would be like that, and now he's dead. A character twist, in short. Angela is still alive, arghhh. Well, this is the logic for this series: an angel = evil; a demon = good I love this episode. |
 |
| Ran-Mao spoke :DDD |
 |
| Aberlain! Oh my...wow and Lau just jumps and drowns himself |
| Intense episode! People dying everywhere, Sebastian with his shirt off. Angela's storyline pisses me off, though. She is there, then disappears? What the hell is up with that? |
  |
| Poor Aberlin. Damn Lau, why you like this? |
| I KNEW IT. I predicted a long time ago that Aberline was going to die because they were building him up as this nice and caring person wanting to make the world a better place, all happy and stuff, with a wife and child on the way...I had a feeling they were trying to create a kind of emotional attachment between him and the audience before killing him off. Poor Aberline =< |
| Cannonball surfing. Sebastian is now officially a badass. |
| Sebby's abs. Kyaaaaaaaa! Omfg. He's so sexy. I'm not okay. Someone kill Angela already. Jesus! -_- I literally screamed when Aberlain was stabbed by Lau. RIP Aberlain. You were a great man. Oh no he's getting married, though. Goddamnit. He died a hero, everyone. Fucking Lau! We trusted you! That was a good episode. <3 |

| I am really thrilled, every ep a little more This was a turn after another. but i am sad about that police men, he was about to marry and have the baby .... this is really depressing T___T |
 |
| Abberline T^T Even with the death flags, it was so sad to see him go :’( He was such a good guy. Lau... I like his character too..did he really also die :( |
| Woah, I expected this to be a filler lol. Amazing episodes. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| What the hell was going on in this episode? I'm confused - maybe because I didn't have internet for over a week and couldn't watch anime, and I have few brain cells so I don't remember anime if I don't watch it for 2 days lmao. It seemed like a good episode though, and that was the first anime death I didn't cry at ^^ |
