Black Butler II

The sequel season to Kuroshitsuji (anime).


 * Backup Twin: is the twin brother of  in season 1.
 * Combat Commentator: Viscount Druitt in Episode 7.
 * Demoted to Extra: Tanaka pretty much vanishes after episode 2. He finally reappears for about 2 seconds during the finale, and gets no spoken lines.
 * Eye Scream: in the eye with his finger.
 * Face Palm: Ciel in season 2 episode 3, when Sebastian has a moment of adoration over stray kitties and ignores the task at hand to do so. Really, every time Sebastian and cats are in the same frame/panel and Ciel is around.
 * Flip Personality: and both souls dispute its control.
 * Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Changed for this season to just "_______ Butler".
 * I Kiss Your Foot: Claude does this in Episode 10... and gets kicked in the face for it.
 * Image Song: Several characters get them, including Ronald Knox (who only appears once).
 * Lecherous Licking: In episode 5, a disguised Alois licks Ciel's ear.
 * Medium Awareness: Season 2, Episode 6. Hannah plays this weird instrument that causes intense physical pain in anyone who hears it. So, Agni tries to free Maylene, Finny, and Bard from the effects by way of Pressure Point attacks. It works...but now their voices are out of sync with their lip movements. And it actually is too, if you watch closely.
 * Never Trust a Trailer: Parodied Up to Eleven in the fourth OVA, featuring the characters as actors. The last portion of the episode features a mock trailer for the season...consisting almost entirely of events that never happened. It gets just a little ridiculous when we see Lau and Ran-Mao show up in a UFO, and it pretty much snowballs from there.
 * No Badass to His Valet: Claude towards Alois.
 * Paper-Thin Disguise: Everyone who watched the first episode of season 2 probably noticed pretty quickly that the stranger visiting Alois and Claude in the middle of the night is . In addition,.
 * Please Wake Up Alois to in season 2.
 * Plot Tailored to the Party: Subverted in episode 4 of season 2. It turns out that every passenger on the train had a Chekhov's Skill that when combined can avert the disaster at hand...but Sebastian can do everything by himself.
 * Shotacon The late Earl Trancy.
 * Shout Out: Sebastian's line to Claude "We meet again, Claude" is the polite, as one would expect of a butler, form of "We meet again, Cloud" uttered by Sephiroth in Advent Children. Even better as Claude and Cloud share a VA. Square-Enix self-shout.
 * Staying Alive:
 * Take a Third Option:.
 * Trainstopping:
 * Twelve-Episode Anime: Season 2 is half the length of season 1.
 * Villain Protagonist: Alois and Claude are much worse than Ciel and Sebastian.
 * What Happened to the Mouse?: So whatever did happen to ?
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Alois has some Grade A Zettai Ryouiki in the first episode. Mind you, he's wearing knickerbockers, not a skirt.
